PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company, enabled by a world-class generics business. For over 120 years, our commitment to bettering health has never wavered. From innovating in the fields of neuroscience and immunology to providing complex generic medicines, biosimilars and pharmacy brands worldwide, we are dedicated to addressing patients’ needs, now and in the future.
We operate worldwide, with headquarters in Israel and a significant presence in the United States, Europe and many other markets around the world. Today, our global network of capabilities consists of approximately 34,000 employees across 57 markets.
Teva was incorporated in Israel on February 13, 1944 and is the successor to a number of Israeli corporations, the oldest of which was established in 1901.
Our Business Segments
We operate our business through three segments: United States, Europe and International Markets. Each business segment manages our entire product portfolio in its region, including generics, which includes biosimilars and over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, as well as innovative medicines. This structure enables strong alignment and integration between operations, commercial regions, R&D, and our global marketing and portfolio function, optimizing our product lifecycle across therapeutic areas.
In addition to these three segments, we have other activities, primarily the sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services, and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliate Medis.
For information regarding our major customers, see note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.
Below is an overview of our three business segments:
United States Segment
We are one of the leading generic pharmaceutical companies in the United States. We market more than 350 generic prescription products in more than 1,100 dosage strengths, packaging sizes and forms, including oral solid dosage forms, injectable products, inhaled products, liquids, transdermal patches, ointments and creams. Most of our generic sales in the United States are made to retail drug chains, mail order distributors and wholesalers.
Our innovative medicines portfolio in the United States includes our core therapeutic area of central nervous system (“CNS”), with a strong emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders, movement disorders, migraine, neuropsychiatry, and multiple sclerosis (“MS”). We also have innovative medicines in respiratory, oncology and selected other areas.
Our CNS portfolio includes AUSTEDO® and AUSTEDO XR® (deutetrabenazine) tablets for the treatment of neurodegenerative and movement disorders – chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and tardive dyskinesia, AJOVY® (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults and children and adolescent patients aged 6 to 17 years, UZEDY® (risperidone) extended-release injectable suspension for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and bipolar 1 disorder (BD-1) in adults, and COPAXONE® (glatiramer acetate) injection for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS.
3
We maintain a presence in oncology, including innovative, generic and biosimilar medicines, such as TRUXIMA® (rituximab-abbs) injection for intravenous use, our first oncology biosimilar product in the United States for the treatment of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (“NHL”) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (“CLL”), and BENDEKA® (bendamustine HCl), which is a liquid, low-volume (50 mL) and short-time 10-minute infusion formulation of bendamustine hydrochloride for the treatment of CLL and indolent B-cell NHL, that we licensed from Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eagle”).
We maintain a presence in the respiratory business by delivering a range of medicines for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”).
Anda, our distribution business in the United States, distributes generic, biosimilar and innovative medicines, and OTC pharmaceutical products from Teva and various third-party manufacturers, to independent retail pharmacies, pharmacy retail chains, hospitals and physician offices in the United States. Anda is able to compete in the distribution market by maintaining a broad portfolio of products, competitive pricing and delivery throughout the United States.
Europe Segment
Our Europe segment includes the European Union, the United Kingdom and certain other European countries.
Our generics business (including OTC and biosimilars) makes us one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Europe. We are not substantially dependent on any single country in Europe for our total generic European revenues, which could be affected by pricing reforms or changes in regulations and public policy.
Although the European markets are diverse and highly fragmented, they share many characteristics that allow us to leverage our pan-European presence and broad portfolio.
Our OTC portfolio in Europe includes global brands such as SUDOCREM® as well as local and regional brands such as NasenDuo®, DICLOX FORTE®, OLFEN® Max and FLEGAMINA®.
Our innovative medicines portfolio in Europe focuses on CNS (including migraine) and respiratory therapeutic areas. Our leading products in Europe are AJOVY and COPAXONE. AJOVY was granted EU marketing authorization in 2019 and, as of December 31, 2025, we have launched AJOVY in most European countries. COPAXONE continues to be among the major products for the treatment of MS, although alternative therapies to glatiramer acetate products have been introduced to various European markets. In line with our Pivot to Growth strategy, we are constantly evaluating and optimizing our products portfolio, including through the sale of certain product rights in our Europe segment.
International Markets Segment
Our International Markets segment includes all countries in which we operate other than those in our United States and Europe segments. The International Markets segment covers a substantial portion of the global pharmaceutical industry, including more than 35 countries.
The countries in our International Markets segment include highly regulated, mainly generic markets, such as Canada and Israel, and branded generics-oriented markets, such as Russia and certain Latin America markets. Each market’s strategy is built upon differentiation and addressing the unmet needs of that market. Our integrated sales force enables us to extract synergies across our branded generic, OTC, biosimilars and innovative medicines product offerings and across various channels (e.g., retail, institutional).
On March 31, 2025, we divested our Teva-Takeda business venture in Japan, which included generic products and legacy products. Since the establishment of the business venture and until the completion of its sale,
4
Teva held 51% of the outstanding common stock of the business venture. On March 31, 2025, we deconsolidated the business venture from our financial statements. For additional information, see note 2 and note 22 to our consolidated financial statements.
Our innovative medicines portfolio in our International Markets segment focuses on three main areas: CNS (including migraine), respiratory and oncology. We launched AJOVY in certain countries within our International Markets segment, including in Canada, Japan, Australia, Israel, South Korea, Brazil and others. AUSTEDO was launched in China and Israel during 2021 and in Brazil in 2022. In April 2025, AUSTEDO received marketing authorization in South Korea.
Pivot to Growth Strategy
In 2025, we continued to execute on the four key pillars of our “Pivot to Growth” strategy, announced in May 2023. As part of this strategy, in 2025, we entered the strategy’s “Accelerate Growth” phase, during which we focus on growing our innovative portfolio, aligning capital allocation to invest in activities we expect to have the highest value, and modernizing our organization and operations to drive both efficiency and cost savings:
| • | On the first pillar, delivering on our growth engines, we continued to show strong performance of our key innovative products, AUSTEDO, AJOVY, and UZEDY, as well as on our recently launched biosimilars SELARSDITM (ustekinumab-aekn) injection and EPYSQLI® (eculizumab-aagh), and the progress we made on our late-stage pipeline of proposed biosimilars to Prolia®, Xgeva®, Eylea®, and Simponi® and Simponi Aria® which were submitted for regulatory review in the U.S. and the EU; |
| • | On the second pillar, stepping up innovation through delivering on our late-stage innovative pipeline, we continued to accelerate the development of certain key pipeline assets, including with the filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for olanzapine LAI in December 2025. Our investigational therapy emrusolmin (TEV-56286) received U.S. FDA Fast Track designation for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (“MSA”); Phase 3 programs for duvakitug (anti-TL1A) in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease were initiated by Sanofi and Teva in October 2025; and by the end of 2025, we achieved the targeted initial enrollment levels in the adult and pediatric populations for DARI’s (Dual-action Asthma Rescue Inhaler) Phase 3 trial; |
| • | On the third pillar, sustaining our generic medicines powerhouse, we remain focused on strengthening our world-class global generics business with a focused portfolio of high-value complex generics and biosimilars, a robust pipeline, and an integrated global manufacturing and commercial footprint. Our recently launched biosimilars continue to grow, as well as our legacy biosimilar portfolio; and |
| • | On the fourth pillar, focusing our business to accelerate growth, we are actively transforming and modernizing our business through Teva Transformation programs. On May 7, 2025, we announced that these programs are expected to generate ~$700 million of net savings through 2027. We have achieved our targeted savings for 2025. |
Artificial Intelligence Initiatives
We are committed to integrating, where appropriate, artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in our operations, in an effort to deliver innovative solutions to our customers, patients and stakeholders. Our initiatives include leveraging machine learning and generative AI to optimize internal processes and operations, strengthen risk management, and support product research and development. We selectively apply AI across our value chain where it can drive meaningful value, including for clinical trial planning and management, research and development and drug discovery, manufacturing and supply chain automation, financial forecasting, and customer engagement. These efforts are designed to reduce operational complexity and costs, and unlock new growth opportunities while maintaining a strong focus on responsible and ethical AI practices.
5
Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering
Our product and service portfolio includes generic medicines, biosimilar medicines, innovative medicines, OTC products, a distribution business, API and contract manufacturing. Each region manages the entire range of products and services offered in its area, and our generics, innovative, biosimilars and OTC franchise units optimize our pipeline and product lifecycle across therapeutic areas. In most markets in which we operate, we use an integrated and comprehensive marketing model, offering a broad portfolio of products, including generic products, innovative medicines, biosimilars and OTC products. As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we intend to divest our API business, in order to focus on our core business strengths and capital allocation towards growth engines and innovation.
Generic Medicines
Generic medicines are the chemical and therapeutic equivalents of originator medicines and are typically more affordable in comparison to the originator’s products. Generic medicines are required to meet similar governmental requirements as their brand-name equivalents, such as those relating to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), manufacturing processes and health authorities’ inspections, and must receive regulatory approval prior to their sale in any given country. Generic medicines may be manufactured and marketed if relevant patents on their brand-name equivalents (and any additional government-mandated market exclusivity periods) have expired or have been challenged or otherwise circumvented.
We develop, manufacture and sell generic medicines in a variety of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, injectables, inhalants, liquids, transdermal patches, ointments and creams. We offer a broad range of basic chemical entities, as well as specialized product families, such as sterile products, hormones, high-potency drugs and cytotoxic substances, in both parenteral and solid dosage forms. We also offer generic products with medical devices and combination products.
Our generics business has a wide-reaching commercial presence. We have a top three leadership position in many countries, including the United States and some key European markets. We have a robust product portfolio, comprehensive R&D capabilities and product pipeline, and a global operational network, which enables us to execute key generic launches to further expand our product pipeline and diversify our revenue stream. We use these capabilities to mitigate the effect of price erosion on our generics business.
When considering whether to develop a generic medicine, we take into account a number of factors, including regional and local patient and customer needs, our overall strategy, R&D and manufacturing capabilities, regulatory considerations, commercial factors and the intellectual property landscape. We will challenge patents when appropriate, if we believe they are either invalid or would not be infringed by our generic version. We may seek alliances to acquire rights to products we do not have in our portfolio, to share development costs or litigation risks, or to resolve patent and regulatory barriers to entry.
In recent years, including as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we have been optimizing our global generics portfolio through product discontinuation and cost-structure improvements, sale of certain product rights, to continue focusing on pipeline optimization and high-value generics, including complex generics. This has resulted in the ongoing network optimization of our generics business, including our manufacturing and supply network, and in the closure or divestment of a significant number of manufacturing plants around the world in recent years.
In markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands and Israel, generic medicines may be substituted by the pharmacist for their brand name equivalent or according to their prescribed International Nonproprietary Name (“INN”). In these so-called “pure generic” markets, physicians and patients have little control over the choice of generic manufacturer, and consequently generic medicines are not actively marketed or promoted to physicians or consumers. Instead, the relationship between the manufacturer and
6
pharmacy chains, distributors, health funds and other health insurers is critical. Many of these markets have automatic substitution models when generics are available as alternatives to brands. In Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and certain Latin American and European countries, generic medicines are generally sold under brand names alongside the originator brand. These markets are referred to as “branded generic” markets and in certain cases are “out of pocket” markets in which consumers can pay for a particular branded generic medicine (as opposed to government or privately funded medical health insurance), often at the recommendation of their physician. Branded generic products are actively promoted and a sales force is necessary to create and maintain brand awareness. Other markets, such as Germany, France, Italy and Spain, are hybrid markets with elements of both approaches.
Our position in the generics market has been supported by our global R&D function, as well as our API R&D and manufacturing activities, which provide vertical integration for many of our products. For information about our product launches and pipeline of generic medicines in the United States and Europe, see “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Information—United States Segment” and “Item 7—Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Information—Europe Segment.”
Biologic medicines are large and complex medicines produced by or made from living cells or organisms. Biosimilars are highly similar to the reference biologic, in both structure and function (e.g., pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and immunogenicity) and, for any approved uses, have no clinically meaningful differences from the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency.
In recent years, we launched the following biosimilar medicines, including under our strategic collaborations: TRUXIMA® (rituximab-abbs) (U.S.: 2019; Canada: 2020), HERZUMA® (trastuzumab-pkrb) (U.S./Canada: 2020), RANIVISIO® (ranibizumab) (EU/UK: 2022; Canada: 2023), SIMLANDI® (adalimumab-ryvk) (U.S.: 2024), SELARSDI (ustekinumab-aekn) (U.S.: 2025), EPYSQLI® (eculizumab-aagh) (U.S.: 2025) and FYMSKINA®(ustekinumab) (Germany: 2025).
Below are some developments in our biosimilars business in 2025, as we make progress in expanding our global biosimilars portfolio and strategic collaborations, and in optimizing our capital resources, in line with our Pivot to Growth strategy:
On January 10, 2025, we announced that we entered into a strategic partnership with Samsung Bioepis for the commercialization of EPYSQLI® (eculizumab), Samsung Bioepis’s biosimilar to Soliris® (eculizumab-aagh) in the U.S., which was available and launched in the U.S. on April 7, 2025, for the treatment of patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Under the terms of the agreement, Samsung Bioepis will be responsible for the development, regulatory registration, manufacture and supply of the product, and Teva will be responsible for commercialization of the product in the U.S.
On January 13, 2025, we announced we entered into a collaboration agreement with Formycon for the commercialization of FYB203, Formycon’s biosimilar candidate to Eylea® (aflibercept) in Europe (excluding Italy), the United Kingdom, Switzerland and in Israel, for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and other severe retinal diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Teva will lead the commercialization of FYB203 in the designated regions, to be marketed under the brand name AHZANTIVE®.
On October 20, 2025, we announced we entered into a collaboration agreement with Prestige Biopharma for the commercialization of Tuznue®, Prestige’s biosimilar to Herceptin® (trastuzumab), across a majority of European markets. Tuznue® is approved in the EU for the treatment of breast cancer and metastatic gastric cancer.
On November 25, 2025, we received European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals for PONLIMSI® (denosumab), our biosimilar to Prolia® and for DEGEVMA® (denosumab), our biosimilar to Xgeva®.
7
For information on our biosimilar products pipeline, see “—Research and Development” below.
Innovative Medicines
Our innovative medicines business is focused on delivering innovative solutions to patients and providers via medicines, devices and services in key regions and markets around the world, and includes our core therapeutic area of CNS, with a strong emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders, neuropsychiatry, movement disorders, migraine and MS. We also have innovative medicines in respiratory, oncology and selected other areas.
We deploy medical and sales and marketing professionals within specific therapeutic areas who seek to address the needs of patients and healthcare professionals. We tailor our patient support, payer relations and medical affairs activities to the distinct characteristics of each therapeutic area and medicine.
The U.S. market is the most significant market in our innovative medicines business. In Europe and International Markets, we leverage existing synergies between our innovative medicines business and our generics and OTC businesses.
We have built specialized “Patient Support Programs” in many countries around the world, to help patients adhere to their treatments, improve patient outcomes and, in certain markets, ensure timely delivery of medicines and assist in securing reimbursement. These programs reflect the importance we place on supporting patients and ensuring better medical outcomes for them. We believe that it is important to provide a range of services and solutions tailored to meet the needs of patients according to their specific condition and local market requirements. We believe this capability provides an important competitive advantage in the innovative medicines business.
Below is a description of our key innovative medicines:
CNS (including Movement Disorders and Migraine)
Our CNS portfolio includes AUSTEDO for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington’s disease, AJOVY for the preventive treatment of migraine, UZEDY for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar 1 disorder, and COPAXONE for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS.
AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR
| • | AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) tablets are a deuterated form of a small molecule inhibitor of vesicular monoamine 2 transporter, or VMAT2, that is designed to regulate the levels of a specific neurotransmitter, dopamine, in the brain. All regulatory exclusivities for AUSTEDO are now expired. |
| • | AUSTEDO was launched in the U.S. in 2017. It is indicated for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults, which is a debilitating, often irreversible movement disorder caused by certain medications used to treat mental health or gastrointestinal conditions. It is one of only two products approved in the U.S. for tardive dyskinesia. |
| • | During 2025, Teva and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) negotiated a maximum fair price for AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR, based on CMS’s list of prescription medicines selected for price-setting discussions, in which they were originally included. The agreement was announced by CMS in November 2025. The revised prices set by the U.S. Government will become effective January 1, 2027 and will apply to eligible Medicare patients. |
| • | AUSTEDO was launched in China and Israel in 2021 and in Brazil in 2022. In February 2024, we announced a strategic partnership for the marketing and distribution of AUSTEDO in China with |
8
| Jiangsu Nhwa Hexin Pharmaceutical Marketing Co., Ltd. In April 2025, AUSTEDO received marketing authorization in South Korea. We continue to evaluate additional submissions in various other markets. In January 2026, AUSTEDO received marketing authorization in the EU for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. |
| • | AUSTEDO is protected in the United States by 14 Orange Book patents expiring between 2031 and 2038. We received notice letters from two ANDA filers regarding the filing of their ANDAs with paragraph (IV) certifications for certain of the patents listed in the Orange Book for AUSTEDO. In 2022, we reached agreements with Lupin and Aurobindo, respectively, to sell their generic products beginning in April 2033, or earlier under certain circumstances. On March 9, 2022, the U.S. Patent and Trial Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office declined to institute an IPR filed by Apotex regarding the deutetrabenazine compound patent. Currently, there are no further patent litigations pending regarding AUSTEDO. |
| • | AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets was approved by the FDA on February 17, 2023 in three doses of 6, 12 and 24 mg, and became commercially available in the U.S. in May 2023. The FDA approved AUSTEDO XR as a one pill, once-daily treatment option in doses of 30, 36, 42, and 48 mg in May 2024 and in doses of 18 mg in July 2024. AUSTEDO XR is a once-daily formulation indicated in adults for tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington’s disease, which is additional to the twice-daily AUSTEDO. AUSTEDO XR is protected by 11 Orange Book patents expiring between 2031 and 2041. |
AJOVY
| • | AJOVY (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (“CGRP”). AJOVY was launched in the U.S. in 2018 for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults, and in August 2025, the FDA approved AJOVY for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in children and adolescent patients aged 6 to 17 years. AJOVY is the only anti-CGRP subcutaneous product indicated for both quarterly and monthly dosing options. AJOVY faces competition from multiple other products. |
| • | During 2019, AJOVY was granted a marketing authorization in the European Union by the EMA in a centralized process and began receiving marketing authorizations in various countries in our International Markets segment. As of today, we launched AJOVY in 48 countries around the world. |
| • | Our auto-injector device for AJOVY became commercially available in the European Union in March 2020, in the U.S. in April 2020 and in Canada in April 2021. |
| • | AJOVY is protected worldwide by patents expiring in 2026 at the earliest; extensions have been granted in several countries, including the United States and in Europe, until 2031. Additional patents relating to the use of AJOVY in the treatment of migraine have also been issued in the United States and in Europe and will expire between 2035 and 2039. Such patents are also pending in other countries. AJOVY will also be protected by regulatory exclusivity for 12 years from marketing approval in the United States (obtained in September 2018) and 10 years from marketing approval in Europe (obtained in April 2019). For our patent litigation related to other anti-CGRP products, see note 12b to our consolidated financial statements. |
UZEDY

We are evaluating plans to launch UZEDY in other countries around the world. UZEDY faces competition from multiple products. |
COPAXONE
| • | COPAXONE (glatiramer acetate injection) continues to play a role in the treatment of MS in the United States and Europe, although its market share has shown a gradual decline throughout 2025 due to the growing adoption of new treatments. COPAXONE is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS (“RMS”), including the reduction of the frequency of relapses in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (“RRMS”), in patients who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with MS. |
| • | COPAXONE is believed to have a unique mechanism of action that works with the immune system, unlike many therapies that are believed to rely on general immune suppression or cell sequestration to exert their effect. COPAXONE provides a proven mix of efficacy, safety and tolerability. |
| • | In certain European countries, Teva remains in litigation against generic companies regarding COPAXONE. |
| • | The market for MS treatments continues to develop, particularly with the approval of alternative therapies and generic versions of COPAXONE. Oral branded and generic treatments for MS, continue to present significant and increasing competition. COPAXONE also continues to face competition from existing injectable products, as well as from monoclonal antibodies. |
Oncology
Our innovative oncology medicines portfolio mainly includes BENDEKA and TREANDA® in the United States.
BENDEKA and TREANDA
| • | BENDEKA (bendamustine hydrochloride) injection and TREANDA (bendamustine hydrochloride) for injection are approved in the United States for the treatment of patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (“CLL”) and patients with indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (“NHL”) that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. We launched BENDEKA in the United States in January 2016. It is a liquid, low-volume (50 mL) and short-time (10-minute) infusion formulation of bendamustine hydrochloride that we licensed from Eagle. |
| • | BENDEKA faces direct competition from Belrapzo® (a ready-to-dilute bendamustine hydrochloride product from Eagle) and from Vivimusta® (a bendamustine hydrochloride injection from Azurity Pharmaceuticals). Other competitors to BENDEKA include combination therapies for the treatment of NHL, as well as a combination for the treatment of CLL and newer targeted oral therapies. The orphan drug exclusivity that had attached to bendamustine products expired in December 2022. |
| • | In April 2019, we signed an amendment to the license agreement with Eagle extending the royalty term applicable to the United States to the full period for which we sell BENDEKA and increased the royalty rate. In consideration, Eagle agreed to assume a portion of BENDEKA-related patent litigation expenses. |
| • | There are 20 patents listed in the U.S. Orange Book for BENDEKA with expiration dates in 2026 and 2031. In August 2021, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision upholding the validity of all of the asserted patents and finding infringement by two remaining ANDA filers. Another ANDA filer did not join the appeal, and Teva also settled with two ANDA filers. |
10
| • | Teva also settled litigation against three 505(b)(2) applicants: Hospira, Inc. (“Hospira”), Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (“DRL”) and Accord Healthcare (“Accord”). Based on these settlement agreements, Hospira, Accord and DRL can launch their products on November 17, 2027, or earlier under certain circumstances. In 2023, Teva and Eagle also filed suit against BendaRx Corp. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, following its filing of a 505(b)(2) NDA for a bendamustine product, and that litigation is still pending. Similarly, on September 18, 2025, Teva and Eagle filed suit against Almaject, Inc. and Alvogen, Inc. in the District of Delaware following the filing of another 505(b)(2) NDA for a generic BENDEKA product. |
| • | In addition to the settlement with Eagle regarding its bendamustine 505(b)(2) NDA, between 2015 and 2020, we reached final settlements with 22 ANDA filers for generic versions of the lyophilized form of TREANDA and one 505(b) (2) NDA filer for a generic version of the liquid form of TREANDA, providing for the launch of generic versions of TREANDA prior to patent expiration. Currently, there are multiple generic TREANDA products on the market. |

Other Activities
We have other sources of revenues, primarily the sale of APIs to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliate Medis.
We produce approximately 350 APIs both for our own use and for sale to third parties, in many therapeutic areas. APIs used in pharmaceutical products are subject to regulatory oversight by health authorities. We utilize a variety of production technologies, including chemical synthesis, semi-synthetic fermentation, enzymatic synthesis, high potency manufacturing, plant extract technology, peptide synthesis, vitamin D derivatives synthesis and steroids. Our advanced technology and expertise in the field of solid state particle technology enable us to meet specifications for particle size distribution, bulk density, specific surface area and polymorphism, as well as other characteristics.
On January 31, 2024, we announced that we intend to divest our API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) through a sale. The intention to divest is in alignment with our Pivot to
11
Growth strategy. On November 5, 2025, we announced that exclusive discussions with a selected buyer on the sale have terminated, and that Teva has initiated a renewed sales process, maintaining our strategic intention to divest our API business. However, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing or structure of a potential divestiture or that a divestiture will be agreed or completed at all.
We provide contract manufacturing services related to products divested in connection with the sale of certain business lines, as well as other miscellaneous items. Our other activities are not included in our United States, Europe and International Markets segments described above.
Research and Development
Our R&D activities span the breadth of our business, including innovative medicines, generic medicines (finished goods and API), biosimilars and OTC medicines.
Our R&D activities are concentrated under one global R&D group with overall responsibility for innovative medicines, generic medicines and biosimilars, with a focus on enabling efficiency across our global operations.
Our innovative R&D product pipeline is focused on biologic and small molecule products. Innovative medicines development activities include preclinical assessment (including toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacology studies), clinical development (including pharmacology and the design, execution and analysis of global safety and efficacy trials), as well as regulatory strategy to deliver registration of our pipeline products. We develop novel innovative medicines in our core therapeutic and disease focus areas. We have neuroscience projects in areas such as neuropsychiatry, migraine and movement disorders/neurodegeneration. Our immunology projects include both novel compounds and delivery systems designed to address unmet patient needs.
We develop generic products for our United States, Europe and International Markets segments. Our focus is on high-value generics and complex formulations with complex technologies, which have higher barriers to entry. Generic R&D activities, which are carried out in development centers located around the world, include product formulation, analytical method development, stability testing, management of bioequivalence, bio-analytical studies, other clinical studies and registration of generic drugs in all of the markets where we operate. We also operate several clinics where most of our bioequivalence studies are performed as well as most of our Phase 1 studies for innovative medicines. We have more than 900 generic products in our pre-approved global pipeline, which includes products in all stages of the approval process: pre-submission, post-submission and after tentative approval.
In addition, our generic R&D supports our OTC business in developing OTC products, as well as in overseeing the work performed by contract developers.
Our current R&D capabilities include solid oral dosage forms (such as tablets and capsules), inhalation, semi-solid and liquid formulations (such as ointments and creams), sterile formulations and other dosage forms, and delivery systems, such as matrix systems, special coating systems for sustained release products, orally disintegrating systems, sterile systems, such as vials, syringes, blow-fill-seal systems, long-acting release injectable, transdermal patches, drug device combinations and nasal delivery systems.
We pursue biosimilar pipeline projects in other therapeutic and disease areas that leverage our global R&D and commercial areas of expertise. Biosimilar development activities, such as analytical method development, testing for analytical biosimilarity, pre-clinical work, chemical manufacturing and control, clinical studies and regulatory strategy, are conducted either in Teva’s various global development sites, or through our collaborations and strategic partnerships as mentioned below (see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements).
12
Our API R&D specializes in the development of processes and physical compound characterization for the manufacturing of generic and innovative APIs, including intermediates, synthetic and fermentation products both for internal use and for external customers. Our facilities in various locations worldwide include one large development center focusing on synthetic products, three centers with specific expertise specializing in fermentation, semi-synthetic products and high-potency APIs, and a center for oligonucleotides and peptides. Our substantial investment in API R&D generates a steady flow of API products, supporting the timely introduction of generic products to market in compliance with increasing regulatory requirements. The API R&D division also seeks methods to continuously reduce API production costs, enabling us to improve our cost structure. On January 31, 2024, we announced that we intend to divest our API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) through a sale.
In line with our Pivot to Growth strategy, and our focus on internal growth that leverages our R&D capabilities, we have entered into, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition, collaboration, funding and other strategic opportunities to supplement and expand our existing innovative medicines and biosimilar pipeline (e.g., the transactions with mAbxience, Launch Therapeutics, Alvotech, Modag, Sanofi, Royalty Pharma and Biolojic). In parallel, we evaluate and expand the development scope of our existing R&D pipeline products as well as our existing products for submission in additional markets and additional indications.

Operations
We operate our business globally and believe that our global infrastructure provides us with the following capabilities and advantages:
| • | global R&D facilities that enable us to have a focused pipeline of innovative medicines as well as a broad global generic pipeline and product line; |
| • | API manufacturing capabilities that offer a stable, high-quality supply of key APIs, vertically integrated with our pharmaceutical operations, which we intend to divest as mentioned above; |
| • | pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities approved by the FDA, EMA and other regulatory authorities located around the world, which offer a broad range of production technologies and the ability to concentrate production in order to achieve high quality and economies of scale; and |
| • | high-volume, technologically advanced distribution facilities around the world for solid dosage forms, injectable and blow-fill-seal, and which allow us to deliver new products to our customers quickly and efficiently, providing a cost-effective, safe and reliable supply. |
These capabilities provide us with the means to respond on a global scale to a wide range of therapeutic and commercial requirements of patients, customers and healthcare providers.
Pharmaceutical Production
We operate 33 finished dosage and packaging pharmaceutical plants in 21 countries. These plants manufacture solid dosage forms, sterile injectables, liquids, semi-solids, inhalers, transdermal patches and other medicinal products. In 2025, we produced approximately 66 billion tablets and capsules, and approximately 600 million sterile units.
The vast majority of our production capacity of our manufacturing sites is located in North America, Europe, Latin America, India and Israel.
We use several external contract manufacturers to achieve operational and cost benefits. We continue to strengthen our third-party operations unit to strategically work with our supplier base in order to meet cost, supply security and quality targets on a sustainable basis in alignment with our global procurement organization.
Our policy is to maintain multiple supply sources for APIs to appropriately mitigate risk in our supply chain to the extent possible. However, our ability to do so may be limited by regulatory and other requirements.
In recent years, we have closed or divested a significant number of manufacturing plants in the United States, Europe, Israel, Japan and India in connection with a restructuring plan and our ongoing efforts to consolidate our manufacturing and supply network.
Raw Materials for Pharmaceutical Production
In general, we purchase our raw materials and supplies required for the production of our products in the open market. For some products, we purchase such raw materials and supplies from one source (the only source available to us) or a single source (the only approved source among many available to us), thereby requiring us to obtain such raw materials and supplies from that particular source. Where possible, we mitigate our raw material supply risks through inventory management and alternative sourcing strategies. See also “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Macroeconomic Environment.”
We source a portion of our APIs from our own manufacturing facilities. Additional APIs are purchased from suppliers located in Europe, Asia and the Americas. We have in place a supplier audit program to provide assurance that our suppliers meet regulatory expectations and are able to fulfill the requirements of our global operations.
14
We currently have 13 API production facilities, producing approximately 350 APIs in various therapeutic areas. Our API intellectual property portfolio includes hundreds of granted patents and pending applications.
We have expertise in a variety of production technologies, including chemical synthesis, semi-synthetic fermentation, enzymatic synthesis, high-potency manufacturing, plant extract technology, peptides synthesis, vitamin D derivatives synthesis and steroids. Our advanced technology and expertise in the field of solid-state particle technology enable us to meet specifications for particle size distribution, bulk density, specific surface area and polymorphism, as well as other characteristics.
Our API facilities are required to comply with applicable cGMP requirements under U.S., European, Japanese and other applicable quality standards. Our API plants are regularly inspected by the FDA, European agencies and other authorities, as applicable. See also “Other Activities” above.
Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary know-how and regulatory exclusivities, as well as contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. We own or license numerous patents covering our products in the United States and other countries. We have also developed many brand names and own many trademarks covering our products. We consider the overall protection of our intellectual property rights to be of material value and act to protect these rights from infringement. We license or assign certain intellectual property rights to third parties in connection with certain business transactions.
Environment, Health and Safety
We are committed to business practices that promote socially and environmentally responsible economic growth. In 2025, we made significant progress on our sustainability strategy under Teva’s Healthy Future framework.
On Environment, Health and Safety (“EHS”), among other actions in 2025:
| • | continued implementing our global EHS management system across all operations, promoting proactive compliance, establishing global standards, and driving continuous improvement; |
| • | conducted proactive compliance evaluations through self-assessments, internal audits, and external audits, addressing non-conformities via corrective and preventive actions; |
| • | advanced development of EHS leading indicators to strengthen predictive insights and foster high-performance work patterns; |
| • | delivered measurable climate action, including achieving progress toward our 2045 Net Zero commitment, alongside adaptation strategies aligned with international standards; |
| • | enhanced risk management through expansion of site and organizational risk registers and implementation of the Serious Incident and Fatality potential (SIFp) program; and |
| • | promoted product stewardship by conducting environmental risk assessments and supporting antimicrobial resistance initiatives. |
Quality
We are committed to complying with global quality and safety requirements and guidance by developing and manufacturing our products in accordance with Current Good Clinical Practices (cGCP), Current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP), and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), thereby seeking to leverage safety, effectiveness and quality as a competitive advantage. In 2025, we continued our commitment to comply
15
with regulatory authorities’ expectations in our manufacturing sites across the globe. We actively engage in discussions with authorities to mitigate potential drug shortages and continue to focus on ensuring our systems and processes are designed to meet current regulatory expectations, are suitable to facilitate intended operations, and sustainable to ensure a reliable supply of quality products globally. Our Quality Management System (QMS) makes quality a priority, and we seek to ensure that quality is embedded in our corporate culture through employee training and is reflected in our daily operations.
Competition
Sales of generic medicines have benefited from increasing awareness and acceptance on the part of healthcare insurers and institutions, consumers, physicians and pharmacists around the world. Factors contributing to this increased awareness are the passage of legislation permitting or encouraging generic substitution and the publication by regulatory authorities of lists of equivalent pharmaceuticals, which provide physicians and pharmacists with generic alternatives. In addition, various government agencies and many private managed care or insurance programs encourage the substitution of brand-name pharmaceuticals with generic products as a cost-savings measure in the purchase of, or reimbursement for, prescription pharmaceuticals.
In the United States, we are subject to competition in the generic drug market from domestic and international generic drug manufacturers and brand-name pharmaceutical companies through introduction of next-generation medicines, authorized generics, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs. An increase in FDA approvals for existing generic products is increasing the competition on our base generic products. Price competition from additional generic versions of the same product typically results in margin pressures.
The European market continues to be competitive, especially in terms of pricing, quality standards, customer service and portfolio relevance. We are among a few companies with a pan-European footprint, while most of our European competitors focus on a limited number of selected markets or business lines. Our leadership position in Europe allows us to be a reliable partner to fulfill the needs of patients, physicians, pharmacies, customers and payers.
In our International Markets segment, our global scale and broad portfolio give us a competitive advantage over local competitors, allowing us to optimize our offerings through a combination of high-quality medicines and unique go-to-market approaches. In some markets, we face increased competition with generic companies competing based on pricing, time to market, reputation and customer service.
The biosimilars business is also highly competitive and continues to evolve as intellectual property protections for biological products continue to expire in the United States. While we believe that our biologics knowledge and experience provide us with competitive advantages, we anticipate increased competition in the biosimilar space, also following the lowering of barriers to enter, demonstrated by the recent FDA’s announcement to accelerate biosimilar development. Additional risks related to the commercialization of our prospective biosimilars include the number of competitors, potential for steeper than anticipated price erosion, and intellectual property challenges that may impact timely commercialization. There is also a risk of lower or slower uptake due to various factors that may differ among biosimilars such as competitive practices and level of financial incentives (payer or government).
Our innovative medicines business faces intense competition from both innovative and generic pharmaceutical companies. Our innovative medicines business may continue to be affected by price reforms and changes in the political landscape. See “Regulation” section below. We believe that our primary competitive advantages include our commercial marketing teams, global R&D capabilities and strategic collaborations, the body of scientific evidence substantiating the safety and efficacy of our various medicines, our patient-centric solutions, physician and patient experience with our medicines and our medical capabilities, which are tailored to our product offerings and markets.

Under the Teva Transformation programs announced on May 7, 2025, we expect to achieve cost savings through a variety of initiatives including examining practices and efficiencies in methods of working, reduction in headcount and optimizing external spend. The reduction in workforce headcount in 2025 is a result of these Transformation programs. For additional information, see note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.
Inclusion and Diversity
Teva believes that when people from different viewpoints come together, bringing unique perspectives and experiences, we unlock new ideas, drive innovation and create a positive impact for patients worldwide. Providing opportunities and rewarding performance based on merit, is an important part of how we grow and succeed as an organization. Our inclusive practices help ensure that all individuals we work with are supported and empowered to thrive. Inclusion and diversity is woven into many aspects of our business, also, among other things, in order to advance our Pivot to Growth strategy. At Teva we hold a deep respect for each individual, and we are dedicated to nurturing a culture of dignity, fairness and psychological safety. We know that when our people feel respected, they can realize their full potential and apply their unique skills and talents. This not only strengthens individual growth – it also strengthens our organization, fueling our creativity and innovation as we work to improve the health of all people.
By actively seeking qualified candidates from variety of viewpoints and experiences, we seek to build a broad talent pool that reflects the diversity of the patients we serve and supports our ability to understand patient needs and deliver high-quality medicines and services globally. We provide flexible onboarding and a range of leadership and development programs, helping employees grow and advance in their careers based on their needs.

The health and safety of our employees is critical to our ability to reliably supply medicines to our patients. Our Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability (EHS&S) Policy and our global Environment, Health and Safety Management System guide our safety practices across all sites.
Employee Career Growth, Training and Development
We invest in employee career growth and development at Teva. Our talent development programs are aimed to benefit employees individually by providing them with the resources they need to enhance their professional and management abilities, develop leadership skills and achieve their career aspirations, which in turn helps us to remain competitive in our industry.
We maintain a range of learning resources to support employees of all levels in developing skills and contributing to Teva’s strategy. Much of our employee training is in-role, amplified by global online training and locally-tailored training modules to meet different challenges, help gain new leadership and essential skills and promote compliance with our policies. By the end of 2025, we rolled out a talent development system based on AI capabilities to match employee skills with development opportunities across the company to employees globally. Through this system, employees can set professional goals, take recommended and tailored learning courses, expand their network, join cross-organizational projects, and explore open roles and career paths across the organization.
Our Teva Grow program for employees provides development in essential soft skills, success in a global setting and company knowledge. We also provide an extensive catalog of lessons from an online learning platform. For Teva managers, we refreshed our development programs to develop the skills, capabilities and mindset required of managers, taking into account our Pivot to Growth strategy.
We focus on succession planning through global talent review processes that identify and accelerate successors’ readiness to fill senior positions across Teva. In order to measure our success, we track the proportion of positions filled with internal successors and other related statistics.

Compensation, Benefits and Wellbeing
We provide competitive compensation, health and retirement programs for our employees. We offer variable pay in the form of bonuses and stock-based compensation for eligible employees and have one global annual bonus plan.
In 2025, we continued to focus on employee wellbeing. In addition to having our annual global wellbeing month dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of wellbeing, we leveraged practical tools and local programs to address the physical, financial, social and mental health needs of our employees and their families. We offer programs and initiatives that promote healthy nutrition, physical activity and mental wellbeing. For example, our organizations in many countries introduced or expanded employee assistance programs to cover psychological support and counseling for employees and their families. In addition, in the U.S., we leverage a preventative medicine application. This application fuses AI technology with medical protocols and expertise to provide employees with health check-ups adapted to their age, health plan, location, risk factors and personal history.
Employee Engagement and Satisfaction
We have been monitoring employee morale in many ways, including by conducting our annual employee survey. In 2025, we achieved an 83% response rate. Results of the survey show that employee satisfaction across the survey dimensions have generally remained stable. Employees reported feeling connected with Teva’s purpose and values, confident in Teva’s positive impact on society, and believing they are treated with respect. In addition, they reported feeling they are able to be themselves at work, they are treated fairly regardless of personal background or characteristics, and that Teva promotes a culture of diversity and inclusiveness.
Management reviews the survey results closely to determine areas for improvement and creates action plans to address any gaps. Survey results are communicated to employees though global communications and town halls and shared with our Board of Directors.
Regulation
United States
Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration
All pharmaceutical manufacturers selling products in the United States are subject to extensive regulation by the United States federal government, principally by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), and, to a lesser extent, by state and local governments. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”) and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern or influence the development, manufacture, testing, safety, efficacy, labeling, approval, storage, distribution, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion, sale, import and export of our products. Our facilities are periodically inspected by the FDA, which has extensive enforcement powers over the activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers. Noncompliance with applicable requirements may result in fines, criminal penalties, civil injunction against shipment of products, recall and seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, sale or import of products, refusal of the government to enter into supply contracts or to approve New Drug Applications (“NDAs”), Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) or Biologics License Application (“BLAs”) and criminal prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The FDA also has the authority to deny or revoke approvals of marketing applications and the power to halt the operations of non-complying manufacturers. Any failure to comply with applicable FDA policies and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
FDA approval is required before any “new drug” (including generic versions of previously approved drugs) may be marketed, including new strengths, dosage forms and formulations of previously approved drugs.
19
Applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to bioequivalence (for generics), safety, toxicity and efficacy (for new drugs), product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. FDA procedures generally require that commercial manufacturing equipment be used to produce test batches for FDA approval. The FDA also requires validation of manufacturing processes so that a company may market new products. The FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to verify the quality and safety of products.
The federal CSA and its implementing regulations establish a closed system and highly regulated system that limits the handling and distribution of controlled substances. The CSA imposes registration, security, recordkeeping and reporting, storage, manufacturing, distribution, importation and other requirements upon legitimate handlers of controlled substances under the oversight of the DEA. The DEA categorizes drugs, substances, and certain chemicals used to make drugs into one of five schedules—Schedule I, II, III, IV, or V —depending on the drug’s acceptable medical use and the abuse or dependency potential. Facilities that manufacture, distribute, conduct chemical analysis, import or export any controlled substance must register annually with the DEA. The DEA performs an inspection of all entities requesting a DEA registration prior to issuing a controlled substance registration for review of the facility and material security, material handling procedures, record keeping, and reporting procedures. The DEA also performs cyclical inspections of all DEA registrants to review accountability, record keeping, and security. Failure to maintain compliance with applicable requirements, particularly as manifested in the loss or diversion of controlled substances, can result in enforcement actions, civil penalties, refusal to renew necessary registrations or the initiation of proceedings to revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal prosecution.
The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”) established the procedures for obtaining FDA approval for generic drug products. This act also provides market exclusivity provisions that can delay the approval of certain NDAs and ANDAs. One such provision allows a five-year period of data exclusivity for NDAs containing new chemical entities and a three-year period of market exclusivity for NDAs (including different dosage forms) containing new clinical trial(s) essential to the approval of the application. The Orphan Drug Act grants seven years of exclusive marketing rights to a specific drug for treatment of a rare disease or condition. The FDCA defines “rare disease or condition” as one that either affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., or for which a manufacturer has no reasonable expectation of recovering drug treatment research and development costs. Market exclusivity provisions are distinct from patent protections and apply equally to patented and non-patented drug products. Another provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act extends certain patents for up to five years due to the time spent in clinical trials and the FDA review process.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, any company submitting an ANDA or an NDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA (i.e., an NDA that, similar to an ANDA, relies, in whole or in part, on FDA’s prior approval of another company’s drug product; also known as a “505(b)(2) application”) must make certain certifications with respect to the patent status of the drug for which it is seeking approval. In the event that such applicant plans to challenge the validity or enforceability of an existing listed patent or asserts that the proposed product does not infringe an existing listed patent, it files a “Paragraph IV” certification. In the case of ANDAs, the Hatch-Waxman Act provides for a potential 180-day period of generic exclusivity for the first company to file a “substantially complete” ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification. This filing triggers a regulatory process in which the FDA is required to delay the final approval of subsequently filed ANDAs containing Paragraph IV certifications until 180 days after the first commercial marketing. For both ANDAs and 505(b)(2) applications, when litigation is brought by the patent holder, in response to this Paragraph IV certification, the FDA generally may not approve the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application until the earlier of 30 months or a court decision finding the patent invalid, not infringed or unenforceable. Submission of an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) application with a Paragraph IV certification can result in protracted and expensive patent litigation.
Products manufactured outside the United States and marketed in the United States are subject to all of the above regulations, as well as to FDA, DEA and U.S. customs regulations at the port of entry. Products marketed
20
outside the United States that are manufactured in the United States are additionally subject to various export statutes and regulations, as well as regulation by the country in which the products are to be sold.
Our products also include biopharmaceutical products that are comparable to brand-name biologics, as well as products that are approved as biosimilar versions of brand-name biological products. While regulations are still being developed by the FDA relating to the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (“BCPIA”), which created a statutory pathway for the approval of biosimilar versions of brand-name biological products. The BPCIA authorizes the FDA to approve “abbreviated” BLAs for products whose sponsors demonstrate biosimilarity to reference products previously approved under BLAs. Biosimilarity to an approved reference product requires, among other things, that there are no differences in route of administration, dosage, form and strength and conditions of use. The FDA may also separately determine whether biosimilar products are interchangeable with their reference products. To be interchangeable, a biosimilar product must have the same clinical result as the reference product. The BPCIA provides a framework for addressing potential patent infringement disputes. The FDA has issued multiple guidance documents to provide a roadmap for demonstrating the interchangeability and development of biosimilar products.
In September 2022, the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022 (“FUFRA”) was enacted in the United States. The FUFRA authorizes the FDA to collect user fees from parties that submit drug, biosimilar or medical device product applications for review or that are named in approved applications as the sponsor of certain products through FDA fiscal year 2027. These fees are used by the FDA to support the product review process at the agency. Various fees must be paid by these manufacturers at different times, such as annually and with the submission of different types of applications. In return for this additional funding, the FDA has entered into agreements with each of the affected industries (known as the “user fee agreements”) that commit the agency to interacting with manufacturers and reviewing applications such as NDAs, ANDAs and BLAs in certain ways, and taking action on those applications at certain times. The agency is obligated to set specific timelines to communicate with companies, meet with company product sponsors during the review process and take action on their applications.
The overall regulatory environment with respect to pharmaceutical advertising remains highly uncertain and increasingly complex. Recent regulatory activity has focused on tightening oversight of pharmaceutical advertising. On September 9, 2025, the Administration, led by HHS and the FDA, announced a new initiative to address direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising. Following the announcement, the FDA issued regulatory correspondence to certain pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding DTC compliance. The Company received two such letters, responded within the timeframe set out by FDA, and is actively monitoring these developments.
The Inflation Reduction Act and Certain Government Programs
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA restructures Medicare’s benefit design and requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage in price setting discussions with Medicare, imposes rebates and discount requirements under Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D, and replaces the Part D coverage gap discount program with a new discounting program. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) is directed to select a subset of medicines with the highest annual expenditures to Medicare Parts B and D that have been on the market for 9 years (or 13 years for biologics) without an available generic (or biosimilar) on the market. Drugs with an available generic or biosimilar, certain drugs that represent a limited portion of Medicare program spending, drugs with an orphan designation as their only FDA approved indication, and all plasma-derived products are exempt from the process. The law allows HHS to levy an excise tax and civil monetary penalties against non-compliant manufacturers or those who refuse to participate in the process. The CMS selected 10 Part D drugs for the first round in August 2024 which became effective January 1, 2026. The second set of 15 Part D drugs selected by CMS was announced by CMS on January 17, 2025, which list included Teva’s AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR. During 2025, Teva and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) negotiated a maximum fair price for the AUSTEDO
21
products. On November 25, 2025, CMS announced the negotiated ‘Maximum Fair Price’ for the products, which is scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2027 and will apply to eligible Medicare patients.
The IRA also imposes rebate requirements on manufacturers of single-source generics and other drugs covered under Medicare Part B and Part D where the price increases of the drug outpace inflation. Multisource generics and all products with an average manufacturer’s price less than $100 per year, per individual, are exempt from these inflationary rebate requirements. The CMS will monitor for products with price increases higher than the rate of inflation on a quarterly basis. Rebates will be calculated as the total number of units sold multiplied by the amount the product exceeds the inflation-adjusted price, with 2021 as the base year to measure cumulative changes relative to inflation. Noncompliant manufacturers will be subject to a civil monetary penalty of at least 125% of the calculated rebate amount.
The drug price-setting program is currently subject to legal challenges, including by Teva. On January 15, 2025, Teva filed a lawsuit against CMS in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that CMS’s implementation of the Drug Price Negotiation Program portion of the IRA is arbitrary and contrary to the plain meaning of the statute, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), and is therefore unconstitutional. On November 20, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted CMS’s motion for summary judgment. Teva is appealing that decision.
The CMS administers the Medicaid drug rebate program, in which pharmaceutical manufacturers pay quarterly rebates to each state Medicaid agency. Generally, for generic drugs marketed under ANDAs, manufacturers (including Teva) are required to rebate 13% of the average manufacturer price, and for products marketed under NDAs or BLAs, manufacturers are required to rebate the greater of 23.1% of the average manufacturer price or the difference between such price and the commercial best price during a specified period. An additional rebate for products marketed under ANDAs, NDAs or BLAs is payable if the average manufacturer price increases at a rate higher than inflation and other methodologies apply to new formulations of existing drugs.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (“HRSA”) administers the Public Health Service’s 340B drug pricing program (the “340B program”). Ongoing and future 340B policy changes may create additional uncertainty for Teva. These may include changes to the level of scrutiny applied by HRSA to enforce any perceived 340B program noncompliance or impose restrictions on manufacturers as to how manufacturers administer their 340B pricing, and what requirements manufacturers can impose on 340B covered entities. Some regulatory restrictions by HRSA are currently subject to legal challenges and may undergo regulatory updates following administration changes or court decisions. Beginning January 1, 2026, drug manufacturers in the first round of Medicare price negotiations may participate in an HRSA pilot program that replaces upfront 340B discounts with retroactive rebates. HRSA may later allow manufacturers in the second round of negotiations to join the program as well. Additionally, state legislators may also enact laws and regulations that restrict how manufacturers administer their 340B pricing and the requirements manufacturers may impose on 340B covered entities. Some states have already enacted such laws and regulations, which are currently subject to legal challenges.
All state Medicaid programs have implemented voluntary supplemental drug rebate programs that may provide states with additional manufacturer rebates in exchange for preferred status on a state’s formulary or for patient populations that are not included in the traditional Medicaid drug benefit coverage. In addition, a number of states, including New York, have enacted legislation that requires entities to pay assessments or taxes on the sale or distribution of opioid medications in order to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications. Finally, a number of states have established Prescription Drug Affordability Boards or similar review boards and implemented IRA-like price controls on pharmaceutical manufacturers. These proposals create new authorities for state regulatory bodies to control prices and/or limit reimbursement for certain drugs. Such efforts may expand to additional states.
22
On May 12, 2025, the U.S. Administration directed federal government agencies to pursue most-favored-nation price targets with pharmaceutical manufacturers through an Executive Order titled “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients.” On July 31, 2025, the Administration followed this Executive Order with letters to seventeen manufacturers (but not to the Company) requesting lower existing prescription drug prices in Medicaid, and to guarantee lower pricing for newly-launched drugs for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers to match the lowest price offered in other developed nations. Starting in late September 2025, some drug manufacturers have announced agreements with the federal government to offer most-favored-nation pricing on certain existing and future products. On November 6, 2025, CMS announced the availability of the “Generating Cost Reductions for U.S. Medicaid (GENEROUS) Model,” a limited duration payment model conducted through the CMS Innovation Center to allow drug manufacturers to voluntarily provide coordinated supplemental rebates to state Medicaid agencies that match international prices in a basket of developed market countries. Failure to participate in the model could result in less favorable Medicaid coverage against competitors that choose to participate.
On December 19, 2025, CMS issued two additional notices of proposed rulemaking to establish mandatory, limited duration Medicare drug pricing models known as the “Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing (GLOBE) Model” for certain Medicare Part B drugs and the “Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs (GUARD) Model” for certain Medicare Part D drugs. Under these proposals, CMS would replace existing domestic inflation-based rebate calculations with new rebate obligations tied to international reference pricing benchmarks in a basket of economically comparable countries. If finalized, the models could require the Company to pay additional rebates for certain of its products, depending on CMS selection criteria and international price levels.
Teva is monitoring these developments and assessing the impact it may have on its business.
Other U.S. Healthcare Laws and Compliance Requirements
In the United States, our current and future operations are subject to regulation by various federal, state and local authorities in addition to the FDA, including but not limited to, CMS, other divisions of the HHS, (e.g., the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) and the Health Resources and Service Administration (“HRSA”)), the DOJ, and individual U.S. Attorney offices within the DOJ, and state and local governments. For example, our business practices, including our contractual arrangements and any future sales, marketing and scientific or educational grant programs may be required to comply with federal fraud and abuse laws, transparency requirements, and similar state laws, each as amended, as applicable. Such laws include, without limitation, state and federal fraud and abuse laws, including the federal Antikickback Statute (“AKS”), federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), and transparency laws and regulations related to drug pricing and payments and other transfers of value made to physicians and other healthcare providers.
If our operations are found to be in violation of any such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply, we may be subject to penalties, including, without limitation, administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs and responsible individuals may be subject to imprisonment. The civil monetary penalties statute imposes penalties against any person or entity who, among other things, is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to, among others, a federal healthcare program that the person knows or should know is for a medical or other item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent.
Additionally, the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act (the “Sunshine Act”), and its implementing regulations, require that certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biological and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) report information related to certain payments or other transfers of value made or distributed to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), certain non-physician practitioners (such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners), and teaching hospitals, or to
23
entities or individuals at the request of, or designated on behalf of, the physicians and teaching hospitals and to report annually to CMS certain ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Failure to report accurately could result in penalties. In addition, many states also govern the reporting of payments or other transfers of value, many which differ from each other in significant ways, are often not pre-empted, and may have a more prohibitive effect than the Sunshine Act, thus further complicating compliance efforts.
Europe
General
In Europe, marketing authorizations for pharmaceutical products may be obtained either through a centralized procedure for a license valid in all member countries of the European Union, which is granted by the EMA, or through national procedures granted by the national competent authorities via a mutual recognition procedure which requires submission of applications in other chosen member states following approval by a so-called reference member state, a decentralized procedure that entails simultaneous submission of applications to chosen member states or occasionally through a local national procedure.
During 2025, we continued to register products in the European Union, primarily using the decentralized procedure (simultaneous submission of applications to chosen member states). We continue to use, on occasion, the mutual recognition and centralized procedures.
The European pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated and much of the legislative and regulatory framework is driven by the European Commission, together with the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. This has many benefits, including the potential to harmonize standards across the complex European market, but it also has the potential to create complexities affecting the entire European market.
European Union
The medicines regulatory framework of the European Union requires that medicinal products, including generic versions of previously approved products and new strengths, dosage forms and formulations of previously approved products, receive a marketing authorization before they can be placed on the market in the European Union. Authorizations are granted after a favorable assessment of quality, safety and efficacy by the respective health authorities. To comply with formal requirements, the application must contain the quality related information of the product (chemical, physical, biological and microbiological data, information about manufacturing process, raw materials, packaging and labelling data, quality control procedures), data confirming product safety (toxicological and pharmacological information), and product efficacy information (clinical studies or clinical trials).
In order to control expenditures on pharmaceuticals, most member states of the European Union regulate the pricing of such products and in some cases limit the range of different forms of a drug available for prescription by national health services. These controls can result in considerable price differences among member states.
In addition to patent protection, exclusivity provisions in the European Union may prevent companies from applying for marketing approval for a generic product for eight years (or 10 years for orphan medicinal products) from the date of the first marketing authorization of the original product in the European Union. Further, the generic product will be barred from market entry (marketing exclusivity) for a further two years, with the possibility of extending the market exclusivity by one additional year under certain circumstances. As part of the European Commission’s review of the general pharmaceutical legislation, the provisions relating to regulatory exclusivity are currently under review. Proposed changes have been published in 2023 and amendments are being discussed. The final amendments are expected in 2026, although the transitional provisions remain unclear.
24
The term of certain pharmaceutical patents may be extended in the European Union by up to five years upon grant of Supplementary Protection Certificates (“SPC”). The purpose of this extension is to increase effective patent life (i.e., the period between grant of a marketing authorization and patent expiration) to 15 years.
Subject to the respective pediatric regulation, the holder of an SPC may obtain a further patent term extension of up to six months under certain conditions. This six-month period cannot be claimed if the license holder claims a one-year extension of the period of marketing exclusivity based on the grounds that a new pediatric indication brings a significant clinical benefit in comparison with other existing therapies.
In July 2019, the SPC Manufacturing Waiver Regulation came into force in the European Union (subject to certain conditions) allowing products manufactured prior to SPC expiration to be exempt from SPC infringement if such products are manufactured for export to non-European Union markets or (no earlier than six months before SPC expiry) for launch in the European Union upon expiration of the SPC. This waiver applies from July 2, 2022 to all SPCs that came into effect after July 1, 2019 or, if the SPC was applied for after July 1, 2019, from the date the SPC comes into effect. This legislation was due to be reviewed prior to July 2024, but the review has been delayed.
Orphan designated products, which receive, under certain conditions, a blanket period of 10 years of market exclusivity, may receive an additional two years of exclusivity instead of an extension of the SPC if the requirements of the pediatric regulation are met. The criteria and protection period for orphan designated products are currently under review by the European Commission, as part of the review of the general pharmaceutical legislation referred to above.
The legislation also allows for R&D work during the patent and SPC term for the purpose of developing and submitting registration dossiers.
In November 2020, the European Commission published a “Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe,” which sets out a suite of policies that will shape the future European regulatory environment. In late 2025, the European Union institutions reached a political agreement on the comprehensive revision of the pharmaceutical legislation. The agreed framework is intended to foster innovation and enhance access, availability of medicines within the EU, while streamlining regulatory requirements. Formal adoption of the legislation is anticipated in 2026, after which a transition period will apply prior to full implementation.
On June 1, 2023, the Unified Patent Court (“UPC”) Agreement and the unitary patent regulations entered into force. The UPC is a new European court with jurisdiction over disputes relating to European patents and currently covers 18 European Union participating Member States. During an initial transitional period ending in 2030 (which may be extended to 2037), both the UPC and national courts have jurisdiction over infringement or invalidity actions relating to European patents, unless the patentee has opted-out the patent from the jurisdiction of the UPC. After the transitional period, the UPC will have exclusive competence for disputes relating to European patents, without a possibility to opt-out. The unitary patent regulations introduced a new option for applicants at the European patent office to request the grant of a European patent with unitary effect over the 18 European Union participating Member States (instead of the traditional combination of national designations).
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom regulates medicines and medical devices independently from the European Union. The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) handles the approval process and regulatory compliance requirements for products supplied to United Kingdom patients, the MHRA’s regulatory process still generally follows those of the EMA. We continue to have processes in place in the United Kingdom that are separate from the EMA, which maintain our ability to supply medicines to patients in the United Kingdom and to supply medicines made in the United Kingdom to other markets.
25
Medical Devices
Although not subject to FDA regulation as standalone medical devices, certain of our products are regulated as medical devices in the European Union under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“EU MDR”). The EU MDR specifies risk classification rules and rules related to clinical studies, post-marketing surveillance, device traceability and oversight by notified bodies. In the UK, the previous EU legislation, as adopted into UK law, remains applicable to a large extent. However, the government has announced proposals to progressively reform the regime for medical devices, with new requirements for post-market surveillance of medical devices becoming effective in June 2025 and further changes planned for the next few years.
International Markets
In addition to regulations in the United States and Europe, we, and our partners, are subject to a variety of regulations in other jurisdictions governing, among other things, clinical trials and any commercial sales, marketing and distribution of our products. Such regulations may be similar or, in some cases, more stringent than those applicable in the United States and Europe.
Whether or not we, or our partners, obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of such product in those countries. The requirements and processes governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. In addition, we, and our partners, may be subject to foreign laws and regulations and other compliance requirements, including, without limitation, anti-kickback laws, false claims laws and other fraud and abuse laws, as well as laws and regulations requiring transparency of pricing and marketing information and governing the privacy and security of personal information. The majority of the countries in which we market our products have enacted and/or amended privacy regulation.
If we, or our partners, fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.
Miscellaneous Regulatory Matters
We are subject to various national, regional and local laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions. We are also subject to country specific data protection laws and regulations applicable to the collection and processing of personal data around the world. In addition, we are subject to various national, regional and local environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing sustainability related matters, such as mandatory reporting and due diligence obligations. We are also subject to various national, regional and local laws regulating how we interact with healthcare professionals and representatives of government that impact our promotional and other commercial activities. Additionally, we may be subject to various new national, regional and local laws and regulations, such as the NIS2 Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act, the Digital Services Act, the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, the California Climate Corporate Date Accountability Act, the California Climate-Related Financial Risk Act, the EU’s Directive No. 2464/2022 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (“CSRD”), the European Health Data Space or the revision of the European Pharmaceutical Legislation (not agreed yet), which could impact our business activities and processes. Many countries outside the EU have enacted cybersecurity laws, which laws may relate to Teva depending on the circumstances.
Data exclusivity provisions exist in many countries around the world and may be introduced in additional countries in the future, although their application is not uniform. In general, these exclusivity provisions prevent the approval and/or submission of generic drug applications to the health authorities for a fixed period of time following the first approval of the brand-name product in that country. As these exclusivity provisions operate independently of patent exclusivity, they may prevent the submission of generic drug applications for some products even after the patent protection has expired.
26
As a result “Schrems II”, which invalidated the adequacy of the EU-US Privacy Shield Certification Programme under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), companies are required to conduct and document comprehensive data transfer assessments, and if supplementary measures cannot address an adequate level of protection, then such transfers shall be restricted. In July 2023, the European Commission determined that the Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), a replacement for the invalidated EU-US Privacy Shield, ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to the United States. Today, many other countries outside the EU are also implementing their own personal data transfer framework, and as such we continue to monitor global developments to address requirements regarding international data transfers. On August 1, 2024, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 came into force, which regulates companies’ use of artificial intelligence systems and general purpose AI models. Requirements of the AI Act come into force in various phases over the next few years, with the bulk of the obligations on AI systems coming into force on August 2, 2026. We have already begun to prepare for implementation once the relevant provisions come into force and are continuously monitoring further regulatory developments in the area both within the EU and in other jurisdictions. Many countries outside the EU have started working on local laws, or issued administrative measures, frameworks or guidance related to the use of artificial intelligence. In addition, the European Commission has released a proposal for changes in several pieces of legislation including the AI Act, GDPR and other related data and digital legislation with the goal to simplify and harmonize. We are closely following these developments in order to ensure continued compliance, including in the areas of international data transfers.
In August 2025, the Israel Data Protection legislation amendment came into force. The amendment aligned local requirements more closely with global standards such as the EU GDPR. The amendment introduces enhanced enforcement mechanisms, including monetary sanctions and administrative fines, expanded data subject rights, and new organizational obligations. Teva has prepared and updated its internal compliance programs to comply with this amendment.
In the United States, the legislative and regulatory landscape for data privacy and protection continues to evolve with an increasing focus on privacy, data protection issues and artificial intelligence. There are numerous federal and state laws and regulations governing the collection, use, processing and protection of personal data. Most states have data security breach laws requiring data protection measures and potentially requiring notification to regulators and impacted individuals.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPAA”) mandates the adoption of specific standards for electronic transactions and code sets that are used to transmit certain types of health information. HIPAA also sets forth federal rules protecting the privacy and security of protected health information (“PHI”). We have established administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PHI to the extent we are subject to HIPAA.
Numerous states have or are in the process of enacting state level consumer privacy laws and regulations governing the collection, use and processing of personal data. Additionally, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) as amended established a privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, imposing special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. Further, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), effective January 1, 2023 (with certain provisions having retroactive effect to January 1, 2022), creates additional obligations with respect to processing and storing personal information. While clinical trial data and information governed by HIPAA are currently exempt from the current versions of the CCPA and CPRA, other personal information may be applicable and possible changes to the CCPA and CPRA may broaden its scope.
27
Some states have or are in the process of enacting state consumer health information privacy laws (e.g., Washington’s My Health My Data Act) requiring protection of state residents’ health information not protected by HIPAA and potentially requiring reporting to state regulators with respect to our health and patient information privacy governance and practices.
In October 2015, the European Commission adopted regulations providing detailed rules for the safety features appearing on the packaging of medicinal products for human use. This legislation, part of the Falsified Medicines Directive (“FMD”), is intended to prevent counterfeit medicines entering into the supply chain and will allow wholesale distributors and others who supply medicines to the public to verify the authenticity of the medicine at the level of the individual pack. The safety features comprise a unique identifier and a tamper-evident seal on the outer packaging, which are to be applied to certain categories of medicines. FMD is effective as of February 2019. Teva’s packaging sites, distribution centers and contract manufacturing operators (“CMOs”) for the European market comply with this new requirement.
In February 2019, the EU enacted the Falsified Medicines Directive (“FMD”), traceability requirements for drug products, which Teva complies with as well. Other countries are following suit with variations of two main requirements: (i) to be able to associate the unit data with the uniquely-identified shipping package, or (ii) to report the data for tracking and tracing of products, reimbursements and other purposes. Certain countries, such as Russia, China, Korea, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil and India (for exported products), already have laws mandating serialization and aggregation and we are working to comply with these requirements. Other countries, including India (for domestic market), Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Ukraine and other Latin American countries are currently considering mandating similar requirements.

28
Risks related to our ability to successfully compete in the marketplace
Sales of our generic medicines comprise a significant portion of our business, and we are subject to the significant risks associated with the generic pharmaceutical business.
Sales of our generic medicines have historically represented and are expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our global business. In 2025, total revenues from sales of our generic medicines in all our business segments were $9,421 million, or 55% of our total revenues. As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we are focusing on a prioritized portfolio and pipeline of high-value generics opportunities. However, generic medicines are generally less profitable than innovative medicines and have faced price erosion in each of our business segments, placing even greater importance on our ability to continually introduce new products. Although we intend to invest in the development of more complex, high-value generic products such as drug device combinations and long-acting injectables, there is no assurance as to when we will be successful in achieving our expected results, if at all.
We also expect to continue to experience significant challenges to our global generics business. Governments worldwide continue to implement healthcare regulatory reforms aimed at reducing drug costs, including but not limited to, imposing price caps and other limits on generic medicine pricing and reimbursement policies, including as a result of inquiries into drug pricing at federal, state and international levels. Additional challenges include changes to tendering systems, a decrease in value from future launches and growth, quality and supply chain challenges, trade restrictions and tariff volatility. Failure to anticipate or adapt to these evolving changes could materially impact our operations and financial performance.
Sales of our generic products may be adversely affected by the concentration of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers.
A significant portion of our sales are made to relatively few U.S. retail drug chains, wholesalers, managed care purchasing organizations, mail order distributors and hospitals. These customers have undergone significant consolidation and formed various commercial alliances, which may continue to increase the pricing pressures that we face in the United States. The presence of large buying groups, and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions, have increased pressure on price, as well as terms and conditions required to do business. In the United States, several large buying groups account for the majority of generics purchases, enabling each of them with significant bargaining power. Additionally, our customers may form commercial alliances which result in heightened pricing pressure and competition in the markets in which we operate. We expect the trend of pricing pressures from our customers and price erosion to continue.
Our sales may also be affected by fluctuations in the buying patterns of our significant customers, whether resulting from seasonality, pricing, wholesaler buying decisions or other factors. In addition, since a significant portion of our U.S. revenues is derived from relatively few key customers, any financial difficulties experienced by a single key customer, any delay in receiving payments from such a customer, or any significant reduction in or loss of business with such a customer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For a description of our net sales from our major customers, see note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.
Our revenues and profits from generic products may decline as a result of competition from other pharmaceutical companies and changes in regulatory policy.
Our generic products face intense competition. Prices of generic products may, and often do, decline, sometimes dramatically, especially as additional generic pharmaceutical companies receive approvals and enter the market for a given product and competition intensifies. Consequently, our ability to sustain our sales and profitability on any given product over time is affected by the number of companies selling competitive products, including new market entrants, and the timing of their approvals. For example, although in 2024, the majority of the increase in revenues in our U.S. generics business were driven by higher revenues from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®), this trend is not expected to continue due to the intense competition
29
in the coming years. The goals established under the Generic Drug User Fee Act, and increased funding of the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs, have led to more and faster generic approvals, and consequently increased competition for some of our products. The FDA has stated that it has established new steps to enhance competition, promote access and lower drug prices and is approving increasing numbers of generic applications. While these FDA initiatives are expected to benefit our generic product pipeline, they will also benefit competitors that seek to launch products in established generic markets where we currently offer products. In recent years, there has also been an increase in the number of generic manufacturers targeting significant new generic opportunities with exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Act, including generic products which are complex to develop. Many of the smaller or emerging generic manufacturers have increased their capabilities, level of sophistication and development resources in recent years. The FDA has also been limiting the availability of exclusivity periods for new products, which reduces the economic benefit from being first-to-file for generic approvals. For example, the 180-day market exclusivity period under the Hatch-Waxman Act for a new product can be forfeited by failure to obtain approval or to launch a product within a specified time or if certain conditions exist, some of which may be outside our control. The failure to maintain our industry-leading performance in the United States on first-to-file opportunities and to develop and commercialize high complexity generic products could adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Furthermore, brand pharmaceutical companies continue to manage products in a challenging environment through marketing agreements with payers, pharmacy benefits managers and generic manufacturers. For example, brand companies often sell or license their own generic versions of their products, known as “authorized generics,” either directly or through other generic pharmaceutical companies. No significant regulatory approvals are required for authorized generics, and brand companies do not face any other significant barriers to entry into such market. Brand companies may seek to delay introductions of generic equivalents through a variety of commercial and regulatory tactics. Many pharmaceutical companies increasingly have used state and federal legislative and regulatory means to delay generic (including biosimilar) competition. These actions may increase the costs and risks of our efforts to introduce generic products and may delay or prevent such introduction altogether.
In addition, the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures in the United States have passed, or have proposed passing, legislation that could have an adverse impact on pharmaceutical manufacturers’ ability to (i) settle litigation initiated pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act and Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (“BPCIA”); (ii) secure the full benefit of first-to-file regulatory approval status secured under the Hatch-Waxman Act; and (iii) recover their investments into the development of an innovative, generic or biosimilar product. Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA create various pathways for generic drug manufacturers to secure accelerated approvals of their abbreviated new drug applications and abbreviated biologics license applications. The new laws and proposals from the federal and state governments could serve to change, directly and indirectly, the Hatch-Waxman Act and BPCIA, including the incentives to develop generic and biosimilar products, as well as the ability of generic manufacturers to accelerate the launch of their new generic and biosimilar products. They could also impact the ability of brand manufacturers to protect their investments in the intellectual property associated with their branded specialty and innovative biologic products.
Additionally, pharmaceutical pricing reforms in the United States have also been introduced through the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which has led to greater pricing pressures on our products. For more information, see “—Risks related to compliance, regulation and litigation—Our operations are subject to complex legal and regulatory environments.” If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we may suffer legal consequences that may have a material effect on our business, operations or reputation.
In the European Union, certain exclusivity provisions may prevent companies from applying for marketing approval for a generic product for a certain number of years (data exclusivity), and further, the generic product will be barred from market entry (marketing exclusivity) for an additional two years, which may be extended by a year in certain circumstances. The pharmaceutical legislation in the European Union is currently under review,
30
which may result in changes to the duration of and criteria for obtaining data and market exclusivity once the new legislation comes into force. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation” for more information.
We continue to monitor these legislative developments and evaluate their impacts on us and whether any changes to our business practices and operations are necessary in order to comply with such legislative reforms. However, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate impact of such legislative developments on our business or whether additional changes in regulatory policies will occur in the future.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in launches of our new generic products.
Although we believe we have one of the most extensive pipelines of generic products in the industry, we have in the past been unable to successfully execute a number of generic launches and may face similar challenges in the future. As a result of delays in the timing of launches, we may not be able to realize the anticipated economic benefits. If we cannot execute timely launches of new products, we may not be able to offset the increasing price erosion on existing products in the United States resulting from pricing pressures and accelerated generics approvals for competing products. Such unsuccessful launches can be caused by many factors, including but not limited to, delays in regulatory approvals, lack of operational or clinical readiness or patent litigation. Failure or delays to execute launches of new generic products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to take advantage of the increasing number of high-value biosimilars opportunities.
We aim to be a global leader in biopharmaceuticals. As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we have been capitalizing on our late-stage pipeline of biosimilar products. The development, manufacture and commercialization of biosimilar products require specialized expertise and are very costly and subject to complex evolving regulation. Due to the complex process and significant financial and other resources required to develop biosimilars, obstacles and delays, including budget constraints, have in the past and may in the future arise, which increase the cost of development or force us to abandon a potential product in which we may have invested substantial amounts of time and resources. We have made and will continue to make significant investments and collaborations to capitalize on biosimilar opportunities. However, the market for biosimilar products, in particular for key lifecycle products, is facing increasingly intense competition, including from new market entrants, growing pricing pressures, as well as from existing innovative products that maintain a significant market share, and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully capitalize on biosimilar opportunities. Failure to develop, supply and commercialize biosimilars, either by us or through collaborations with third parties, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Intense competition may adversely affect our ability to successfully develop and commercialize innovative medicines.
We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving industry and face intense competition to our innovative medicines. As we transform into a leading biopharmaceutical company, and as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, we have been focused on delivering on our growth engines, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY, and stepping up the innovation of our late-stage innovative pipeline assets. Our success depends on our ability to discover, develop, and commercialize innovative products ahead of competitors. However, numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic institutions and research organizations, are engaged in the development of products that may compete directly with ours. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and to some extent marketing resources, as well as more established commercial infrastructures. As a result, any products and/or innovations that we develop may become obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses incurred in connection with their development. In addition, we must demonstrate the benefits of our products relative to competing products that are often more familiar or otherwise better established with physicians, patients and third-party payers. Competitors have in the past and
31
may in the future introduce new products or new variations on their existing products, our marketed products, or even those protected by patents, which have in the past and may in the future be replaced in the marketplace or we may be required to lower our prices.
For example, the following may have a significant effect on our financial results and cash flow:
| • | AUSTEDO: our future success depends on our ability to maximize the growth and commercial success of AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR. If our revenues derived from AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR do not increase as expected and/or if we lose market share to competing therapies, our results of operations may be adversely affected; |
| • | AJOVY faces strong competition from two products that were introduced into the market around the same time and are competing for market share in the same space, as well as from other emerging competing therapies, including oral CGRP products; |
| • | UZEDY is a late entrant in the atypical antipsychotic long-acting injectables (LAIs) space and faces significant competition from multiple well-established products. Although UZEDY is well differentiated in the LAI space, more branded and generic products that recently launched or will launch in the near future can further impact UZEDY’s growth; |
| • | COPAXONE faces competition from generic versions in the U.S. and competing glatiramer acetate products in Europe, as well as from orally-administered therapies. Since the introduction of generic and oral competition, COPAXONE’s revenues and profitability have decreased. We expect the trend of decreasing revenues and profitability for COPAXONE to continue in the future; and |
| • | there is a trend in the innovative medicines industry of seeking to “outsource” drug development by acquiring companies with promising drug candidates and we face substantial competition from historically innovative companies, as well as companies with greater financial resources than us, for such acquisition targets. |
In order to remain competitive, we must invest significant resources to expand our pipeline for innovative medicines and biosimilars, both through our own efforts and through collaborations with, and in-licensing or acquisition of products from, third parties. We have entered into, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition, collaboration, funding and partnership opportunities to supplement and expand our existing innovative medicines and biosimilar pipeline, such as our collaborations with Alvotech, Medincell, Modag, Sanofi, Royalty Pharma, Biolojic, Launch Therapeutics and mAbxience. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into additional collaborations in the future, or that our existing collaborations will achieve the results we expect, and we or our counterparties could fail to perform the obligations thereunder, including due to failure to obtain regulatory approvals and increasing competition, pricing pressures and other financial constraints. In addition, we may not be able to achieve the cost savings that we expect to realize within the expected time frame under our Teva Transformation programs announced in May 2025, due to unforeseen risks, which could impact our financial condition and ability to invest in our innovative pipeline and growth drivers.
Furthermore, the development of innovative medicines involves lengthier and more complex processes and greater expertise and resources than those used in the development of generic medicines. For example, the time from discovery to commercial launch of an innovative medicine can be 15 years or more and involves multiple stages, including intensive preclinical and clinical testing and highly complex, lengthy and expensive regulatory approval processes, which vary from country to country. The longer it takes to develop a new product, the less time that remains to recover development costs and generate profits. During each stage, we may encounter obstacles that delay the development process and increase expenses, potentially forcing us to abandon a potential product in which we may have invested substantial amounts of time and resources. These obstacles may include preclinical failures, difficulty enrolling patients in clinical trials, delays in completing formulation and other work needed to support an application for approval, adverse reactions or other safety concerns arising during clinical testing, insufficient clinical trial data to support the safety or efficacy of the product candidate, widespread supply chain breakdowns, delays as a result of new requirements implemented by health authorities
32
such as the U.S. FDA and EMA requirement on material use, or any impact of a prolonged government shutdown, and delays or failures to obtain required regulatory approvals for the product candidate or the facilities in which it is manufactured. In addition, our innovative medicines require much greater use of a direct sales force than our generics business. Our ability to realize revenues from direct marketing and sales activities depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified sales personnel. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense. We may also need to enter into co-promotion arrangements, or use contracted sales personnel or other such arrangements with third parties, for example, where our own direct sales force is not large enough or sufficiently well-aligned to achieve maximum market penetration. Any failure to attract or retain qualified sales personnel or to enter into third-party arrangements on favorable terms could prevent us from successfully maintaining current sales levels or commercializing new innovative medicines.
If generic or biosimilar products that compete with any of our innovative medicines are approved and sold, sales of our innovative medicines will be adversely affected.
Certain of our innovative medicines face patent challenges and impending patent expirations and some have recently become susceptible to generic competition, such as ProAir HFA and QVAR®. Generic equivalents and biosimilars for branded pharmaceutical products are typically sold at lower costs than the branded products. After the introduction of a competing generic (or biosimilar) product, a significant percentage of the prescriptions previously written for the branded product are often written for the generic version. Legislation enacted in most U.S. states allows or, in some instances, mandates that a pharmacist dispense an available generic equivalent (or interchangeable biosimilar) when filling a prescription for a branded product in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician. Branded products typically experience a significant loss in revenues following the introduction of a competing generic (or biosimilar) product, even if the branded product is still subject to an existing patent since generic manufacturers may offer generic (or biosimilar) products while patent litigation is pending. Our innovative medicines have in the past and may in the future become subject to competition from generic equivalents due to the expiration of a patent or loss of patent protection. In addition, we may from time to time seek to obtain additional patent protection for our innovative medicines covering proprietary product improvements and/or new and enhanced dosage forms, but there are no guarantees those efforts will succeed.
Our success depends on our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products.
Our financial results depend upon our ability to develop and commercialize additional innovative, biosimilar and generic products in a timely manner. Commercialization requires that we successfully develop, test and manufacture pharmaceutical products, both through our own efforts and through collaborations with, and in-licensing or acquisition of products from, third parties. All of our products must receive regulatory approval and meet, and continue to comply with, regulatory and safety standards. If health or safety concerns arise with respect to a product, we may be forced to withdraw it from the market. Developing and commercializing additional pharmaceutical products is also subject to difficulties relating to the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including API and other key ingredients; preclusion from commercialization by the proprietary rights of others; the costs of manufacturing and commercialization; costly legal actions brought by our competitors that may delay or prevent the development or commercialization of a new product; and delays and costs associated with the approval process of the FDA and other U.S. and international regulatory agencies.
The development and commercialization process, particularly with respect to innovative medicines and biosimilar medicines, as well as complex generic medicines that we increasingly focus on, is both time-consuming and costly, and involves a high degree of business risk. Our products currently under development, if and when fully developed and tested, may not perform as we expect. Necessary regulatory approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, if at all, and we may not be able to produce and market such products successfully and profitably. Delays in any part of the process or our inability to obtain regulatory approval of our products could adversely affect our operating results by restricting or delaying our introduction of new products.
33
We depend on the effectiveness of our patents, confidentiality agreements and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights.
The success of our innovative medicines business depends substantially on our ability to obtain patents and to defend our intellectual property rights. If we fail to protect our intellectual property adequately, competitors may manufacture and market products identical or similar to ours. We have been issued numerous patents covering our innovative medicines, and have filed, and expect to continue to file, patent applications seeking to protect newly developed technologies and products in various countries, including the United States. Currently pending patent applications may not result in issued patents or be approved on a timely basis. Any existing or future patents issued to or licensed by us may not provide us with any competitive advantages for our products or may be challenged or circumvented by competitors or governments. For additional information see “Risks related to compliance, regulation and litigation,” below.
Efforts to defend the validity of our patents are expensive and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. Our ability to enforce our patents also depends on the laws and practices of individual countries regarding the enforcement of intellectual property rights and may also be impacted by regulatory actions taken by governmental authorities that affect our ability to use and maintain our intellectual property rights. The loss of patent protection or regulatory exclusivity on innovative medicines, could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. For additional information see “Risks related to compliance, regulation and litigation,” below.
We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how, trademarks, regulatory exclusivity and continuing technological innovation that we seek to protect, in part by confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees and consultants. These measures may not provide adequate protection for our unpatented technology. If these agreements are breached, it is possible that we will not have adequate remedies. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements. Furthermore, our trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors or we may not be able to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to such products. If we are unable to adequately protect our technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or enforce our intellectual property rights, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer.
Risks related to our significant indebtedness
We have significant debt outstanding, which requires significant interest and principal payments, requires compliance with certain covenants and restricts our ability to incur additional indebtedness or engage in other transactions.
As of December 31, 2025, we have consolidated debt of $16,807 million outstanding, compared to $17,783 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024. The cash required to finance our interest and principal payment obligations under such debt reduces the cash available to fund our capital expenditures and grow our business and reduces our flexibility to respond to changes in economic and industry conditions. If we are unable to meet our debt service and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, seek additional debt or equity capital or sell assets. We may be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at significantly higher interest rates, incur significant transaction fees or include more restrictive covenants. See “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity” and note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of our outstanding indebtedness.
Our unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (“RCF”) contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. Non-compliance with such covenants, under certain circumstances, may result in our inability to borrow under the RCF or an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF. Additionally, non-compliance with such covenants, when greater than a
34
specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and when sustainability-linked senior notes are outstanding, could lead to an event of default under our senior notes and sustainability-linked senior notes due to cross acceleration provisions.
While we continue to take steps to reduce our debt and improve profitability, if we fail to satisfy our financial ratio covenants, we may need to renegotiate and amend the covenants, or refinance the debt with different repayment terms. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to amend such agreements or refinance such debt on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. If we experience lower than anticipated earnings or cash flows, to maintain compliance with our financial ratio covenants, we may curtail spending or divest assets, which could constrain our ability to grow our business.
We may need to raise additional funds in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
We may consider issuing additional debt or equity securities in the future to refinance existing debt or for general corporate purposes, including to fund our growth strategies, and to fund potential acquisitions or investments. If we issue ordinary equity, convertible preferred equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing shareholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing shareholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to pay additional interest and potentially lowering our credit ratings. Our ability to incur debt may also be impacted by our credit ratings, which could impact the cost and availability of our future borrowings and, accordingly, our cost of capital. We have in the past been and may in the future be subject to ratings downgrades or negative outlooks by ratings agencies, which could negatively impact our ability to raise debt or borrow funds in amounts or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Additionally, capital and credit markets, which have been disrupted by macroeconomic pressures, have experienced volatility. As a result, access to additional financing may be challenging and is largely dependent upon market conditions, which could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the future in amounts and on terms that are acceptable to us, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements.
Risks related to our general business and operations
Global economic conditions may negatively affect us and may magnify certain risks that affect our business.
We conduct our operations globally, including in the United States, Europe and our International Markets. Global developments can affect our business in many ways. Our global operations are affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, and competition. Increased inflation rates have in the past and may in the future increase our and our suppliers’ operating costs, including labor costs, manufacturing costs and R&D costs. If in the future we are unable to manage rising costs as a result of inflation and its broader effects on the markets in which we operate, our operations may be materially affected. Additionally, divergent or evolving regulatory systems can increase the risks and burdens of operating in numerous countries. For example, recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on goods, materials, and products from countries where we do business, and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries could result in us incurring substantial additional costs to source goods, materials, and products, directly and indirectly, from affected countries, and may require us to raise prices on certain products and seek alternative sources of supply. If our competitors do not increase prices, or increase prices to a lesser extent than we do, or are able to offset the impact of tariffs through other actions, our competitive and financial position may be adversely affected. Additionally, if we are not able to find adequate alternate sources of supply, we may experience supply shortages or disruptions. In addition to rising inflation, the global economy has also been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates, geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions. Supply chain disruptions could continue to result in delays in our production and distribution processes, R&D initiatives and our ability to timely respond to consumer demand. As we have substantial international operations, fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which we operate
35
and the U.S. dollar could increase our operating costs and adversely affect our results of operations, profits and cash flows. The duration and extent of rising inflation, higher interest rates, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, evolving regulatory systems including with respect to recent U.S. tariffs, geopolitical tensions and other macroeconomic headwinds are uncertain and we cannot accurately predict whether we will be able to effectively mitigate their impact on our business.
Due to the complexity of our supply chain, we have experienced supply discontinuities due to macroeconomic issues, regulatory actions, including sanctions and trade restrictions, labor disturbances and approval delays, which have impacted our ability to timely meet demand in certain instances. These adverse market forces have a direct impact on our overall performance. Any such disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business and our results of operation and financial condition.
Implementation of ongoing optimization efforts may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have and will continue to implement changes to optimize our business operations and reallocate resources towards growth opportunities. As part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, in May 2025, we announced the Teva Transformation programs which are expected to generate cost savings for the Company, including by examining practices and efficiencies in methods of working, reduction in headcount and optimizing external spend. In connection with these programs, we may not be able to achieve the cost savings that we expect to realize in the expected time frame due to unforeseen risks, which could impact our financial condition and ability to invest in our innovative pipeline and growth drivers.
In addition, as part of such optimization efforts, we have in the past and may in the future face wrongful termination, discrimination or other legal claims from employees affected by ongoing changes in our workforce. We may incur substantial costs defending against such claims, regardless of their merits, and such claims may significantly increase our severance costs.
Upon the proposed divestiture of any assets, including divestitures of business units as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy to focus on our core businesses, as well as divestitures of our facilities in connection with our ongoing plant optimization, we may not be able to consummate such divestitures at a favorable price or in a timely manner. Any divestiture that we are unable to complete may cause additional costs associated with retaining, closing or disposing of the impacted businesses.
Workforce reductions, such as the reduction as part of the Teva Transformation programs announced in May 2025, and site consolidation have in the past and may in the future result in the loss of numerous long-term employees, the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, the reallocation of certain job responsibilities, the disruption of business continuity and legal claims from affected employees, all of which could negatively affect operational efficiencies and our ability to achieve growth and profitability through the development and sale of new pharmaceutical products. We cannot guarantee that, following such efficiency measures, our business will be more efficient or effective.
Significant disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business.
We rely extensively on information technology systems (including cloud services) in order to conduct business, including systems managed by third-party service providers. These systems include programs and processes relating to internal and external communications, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping products to customers, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, processing payments to employees and vendors, calculating sales receivables, generating our financial results, and complying with information technology security compliance and other regulatory, legal or tax requirements. These information technology systems could be damaged or cease to function properly due to the poor performance or failure of third-party service providers, catastrophic events,
36
power outages, network outages, failed upgrades and other events. If our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve such issues on a timely basis, we may suffer significant interruptions in conducting our business, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, our systems and networks, and those managed by our third-party service providers, have been, and are expected to continue to be, the target of increasingly advanced and evolving cyber-attacks which may pose a risk to the security of our systems and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data, as well as disrupt our operations or damage our facilities or those of third parties. Our exposure to cybersecurity risks may be heightened by the global scope of our operations. Because the techniques, tools and tactics used in cyber-attacks frequently change and may be difficult to detect for periods of time, despite our attention to such threats, we may face difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures or mitigating harms after such an attack. Cybersecurity attacks have become increasingly complex as they are enhanced or facilitated by the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) that are used to identify and target new vulnerabilities in our information technology systems or those of our customers, third-party vendors and other business partners. For example, AI and deepfake technologies could be used to attack information systems by creating more effective phishing emails or social engineering and by exploiting vulnerabilities in electronic security programs utilizing false image or voice recognition. There is no assurance that we, our customers, third-party vendors or other business partners will be able to promptly and effectively respond to such new increasingly sophisticated threats. Additionally, there is no assurance that we will be able to leverage the use of AI technologies within our business, which may position us in a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.
In addition, hardware, software or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. We outsource administration of certain functions to vendors that could be targets of cyber-attacks. Any manipulation, theft, loss and/or fraudulent use of customer, employee or proprietary data as a result of a cyber-attack targeting us or one of our third-party service providers could subject us to significant litigation, liability and costs, as well as adversely impact our reputation with customers and regulators. A cyber-attack on our information technology systems may lead to substantial interruptions in our business, legal claims and liability, regulatory investigations and penalties, and reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that is designed to address certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise in the event we experience a cybersecurity incident, data security breach or disruption, unauthorized access, or failure of systems.
Our adoption of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies introduces new risks and uncertainties
Our adoption of AI technologies introduces new risks and uncertainties. These include potential inaccuracies or biases in AI outputs, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and evolving global regulatory requirements governing AI use. Misuse or malfunction of AI systems could adversely impact our operations, reputation, or compliance. For example, use of AI technologies can lead to unintended consequences, including generating content that appears correct but is factually inaccurate, misleading or otherwise flawed, or that results in unintended biases and discriminatory outcomes, which could negatively impact individuals, harm our reputation and business, and expose us to liability. Additionally, rapid technological changes and competitive pressures may require significant ongoing investment to maintain effective and responsible AI capabilities.
A data security breach could adversely affect our business and reputation.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personally identifiable information (including of our employees, customers, suppliers and business partners). Any data breach may subject us to civil fines and penalties, or regulatory orders, fines or sanctions such as under the EU GDPR or EU NIS2, or equivalent under relevant national laws, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) as amended, and other relevant
37
state and federal privacy laws in the United States, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other laws and regulations including across our International Markets. Our failure, or the failure of our third-party vendors, to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to data security and our involvement or the involvement of any of our third-party vendors in any data security incidents could result in legal claims and liability, obligations to report incidents to governmental agencies, regulatory investigations and penalties, and reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have procedures, tools, processes and services in place to detect and respond to cyber-attacks, data breaches, security incidents, and compromises of personal and other information. If our efforts to protect the security of data are unsuccessful, a cyber-attack, data breach, security incident, or compromise of personal information may result in costly legal claims and liability, financial penalties, government enforcement actions, for example under the EU GDPR or EU NIS2, private litigation, negative publicity or a reduction in supply of essential medicines to the public, or regulator orders requiring us to change the way our business is conducted, each of which could further result in reputation or brand damage with customers, and our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could suffer.
The manufacture of our products is highly complex, and an interruption in our supply chain or problems with internal or third party manufacturing could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our products are either manufactured at our own facilities or obtained through supply agreements with third parties. Many of our products are the result of complex manufacturing processes, and some require highly specialized raw materials. Problems may arise during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures including cGMPs, problems with or shortages of raw materials, widespread outbreaks of disease or other public health crises, natural disasters, extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves, blizzards, hurricanes, wildfires, the rise of sea level, and water stress, and other environmental factors, which could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. Additionally, as our manufacturing plants and equipment age, they become more prone to failure. If we are not able to make capital improvements to such plants and equipment, or if they otherwise deteriorate, we could experience disruptions to our operations, manufacturing delays, further obsolescence and increased costs associated with repairs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
For some of our key raw materials, we have only a single, source of supply, and alternate sources of supply may not be readily available. If our supply of certain raw materials or finished products is interrupted from time to time, or proves insufficient to meet demand, our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely impacted. Additionally, any such supply interruption could result in a supply shortage to patients depending on the number of competitors able to meet the supply needs. Moreover, the streamlining of our manufacturing network may result in our product supply becoming more dependent on a smaller number of specific manufacturing plants. Our inability to timely manufacture or to procure from a third party supplier, any of our key products, may result in claims and penalties from customers and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as result in reputational harm.
In recent years, medicine shortages have become an increasingly widespread problem around the world. We are working diligently across our supply chain to ensure continuous and stable supply. Many European countries are implementing legal and regulatory measures, such as mandatory stockpiling and high penalties in order to prevent supply disruptions. Such measures may lead to substantial monetary losses in case we experience long-term supply disruptions in the relevant territories.
We also rely on complex shipping arrangements to and from the various facilities of our supply chain. Customs clearance and shipping by land, air or sea routes rely on and may be affected by factors that are not in our control or are hard to predict. Any significant disruptions to the shipping arrangements for our products could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results.
38
We have significant operations globally, including in countries that may be adversely affected by political or economic instability, major hostilities or acts of terrorism, which exposes us to risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally.
We are a global pharmaceutical company with worldwide operations. While a substantial majority of our sales in 2025 were in the United States and Europe a portion of our sales and operational network are located in other regions. Certain of the regions in which we operate may be more susceptible to instability, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, that could result in a loss of sales in such regions. Although to date our business has not been materially impacted by such geopolitical conflicts, the implications (including potential inflation and devaluation consequences) of geopolitical conflicts cannot be predicted and could in the future have a material and adverse effect on our business, exchange rate exposure, supply chain, operational costs and commercial presence in these markets.
Significant portions of our operations are conducted outside the markets in which our products are sold, and accordingly we often import a substantial number of products into such markets. We may, therefore, be denied access to our customers or suppliers or denied the ability to ship products from any of our sites as a result of a closing of the borders of the countries in which we sell our products, or in which our operations are located, due to economic, legislative, political and military conditions, including hostilities and acts of terror, in such countries. In addition, certain countries, such as Russia, have imposed regulations requiring local manufacturing of goods, while foreign-made products are subject to pricing penalties or even bans from participation in public procurement auctions in other countries.
We face additional risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with laws and regulations of many jurisdictions that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include intellectual property laws, data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, economic sanctions, export requirements, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the UK Bribery Act 2010 and other similar local laws that prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations and provisions of things of value to customers and, in some cases, other private sector counterparties. Modifications of such laws or court decisions regarding such laws may adversely affect us and may impact our ability to continue our international operations. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be breached by us, for example through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees (or third parties acting on our behalf), our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements, or otherwise. Actions by our employees, or by third-party intermediaries acting on our behalf, in violation of such laws, whether carried out in the United States or elsewhere in connection with the conduct of our business have exposed us, and may further expose us, to significant liability for violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws. In 2016, we paid a monetary fine for FCPA violations and entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ, which included retaining an independent compliance monitor. The FCPA also requires us to keep and maintain accurate books and records and systems of internal controls to prevent bribery and corruption. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, implementation of compliance programs and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violation could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.
Our corporate headquarters and a portion of our manufacturing activities are located in Israel. Our Israeli operations are dependent upon materials imported from outside Israel. Accordingly, our operations and information technology systems could be materially and adversely affected by acts of terrorism, including through cybersecurity threats, or by an escalation of major hostilities in the Middle East, or a material impairment of trade between Israel and other countries, including as a result of acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere. Ongoing military activity in the Middle East may result in disruption to our operations and facilities, such as our manufacturing and R&D facilities located in Israel.
39
Our continued success depends on our ability to attract, hire, integrate and retain highly skilled key personnel.
Given the size, complexity and global reach of our business and our multiple areas of focus, we are especially reliant upon our ability to recruit and retain highly qualified management and other key employees. Our ability to attract and retain such employees may be diminished by the financial, legal and regulatory challenges and ongoing restructuring and optimization efforts we have faced in recent years, as well as increased competition for talent. In addition, the success of our R&D activity depends on our ability to attract and retain sufficient numbers of skilled scientific personnel. Changes in our management as a result of the appointment or departure of members of management and other key employees may also cause disruptions to our business and result in the loss of key personnel with institutional knowledge of our business, negative impacts on our relationships with existing employees and customers and increased operating costs related to integrating new personnel. Any difficulty in recruiting, hiring, integrating, retaining and motivating talented and skilled members of our organization may adversely impact us.
We may not be able to find or successfully bid for suitable acquisition targets or licensing opportunities, or consummate and integrate future acquisitions.
In addition to pursuing organic growth opportunities, we intend to continue to evaluate and pursue potential acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and licenses, among other transactions, as part of our strategy to optimize our business and product portfolio and reallocate resources to fund growth. Relying on such transactions as sources of new innovative medicines, biosimilar and other products, or as a means of growth, involves risks that could adversely affect our future revenues and operating results. We may not be successful in seeking or consummating appropriate opportunities to enable us to execute on our business strategy. We may not be able to pursue opportunities due to financial capacity constraints, we may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, and we may fail to consummate an announced transaction. We may fail to integrate acquired assets successfully into our existing business, and could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities, including, among others, patent infringement, product liability or breach of diligence claims. In addition, we, or the partners with which we may enter into licensing or other collaboration agreements, may not be able to perform effectively under such agreements, impairing our ability to monetize opportunities related to them.
We may decide to sell, close or otherwise divest business units, assets or facilities, and any failure to successfully and cost-effectively consummate such divestitures could adversely affect our prospects and opportunities for growth.
We will continue to consider selling, closing or otherwise divesting certain business units, assets and facilities as the focus of our business evolves, including as part of our Pivot to Growth strategy, if we determine that such assets are not critical to our strategy or we believe the opportunity to monetize the asset is attractive or for various other reasons, including for the reduction of indebtedness. For example, as previously announced, we intend to divest our API business, which divestiture is subject to various conditions, including identifying a prospective purchaser and reaching an agreement on terms satisfactory to Teva, satisfying any conditions to closing the divestiture and obtaining any necessary approvals. We have also closed or divested a significant number of manufacturing plants and R&D facilities in the past and may close or divest additional plants and facilities as part of our ongoing efforts regarding optimizing our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any divestitures of our business units, assets or facilities, including our intended divestiture of our API business, on the timing or upon the terms we expect, if at all. Such divestitures may also divert management’s attention from our core business operations, increase our expenses in the short-term and disrupt our relationships with existing employees, customers or suppliers.
We may fail to identify appropriate opportunities to divest assets on terms acceptable to us or may fail to transition employees and continuing operations from closed sites and disposed businesses efficiently. If divestiture opportunities are found, consummation of any such divestiture may be subject to closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, and we may fail to consummate an anticipated divestiture.
40
Although our expectation is to engage in asset sales only if they advance or otherwise support our overall strategy, any such sale could result in disruptions to our business operations, result in unanticipated expenses and reduce the size or scope of our business, our manufacturing network, our market share in particular markets or our opportunities with respect to certain markets. If we are unable to complete our planned divestitures in a timely and cost-effective manner, or if we do not realize the anticipated cost savings or other benefits of such transactions, our prospects and opportunities for growth may be materially adversely impacted.
Risks related to compliance, regulation and litigation
Our operations are subject to complex legal and regulatory environments. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we may suffer legal consequences that may have a material effect on our business, operations or reputation.
We operate around the world in complex legal and regulatory environments. For instance, we must comply with requirements of the FDA, EMA, U.S. state licensure bodies, and other healthcare regulators with respect to the manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, promotion and development of pharmaceutical products, as further described below. We are also subject to pricing laws, including newly-enacted state laws in the United States, which impose price controls such as penalties for pricing certain products above state-defined thresholds, as well as competition laws, economic sanctions, export controls, import and trade laws and regulations, healthcare fraud and abuse (including anti-bribery laws), privacy laws, cGMP requirements, labor laws and health and safety laws. Any failure to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations may result in civil and/or criminal legal proceedings and lead to fines, damages, mandatory compliance programs and other sanctions and remedies that may materially affect our business and operations as well as our reputation. In addition, as rules and regulations change or as interpretations of those rules and regulations evolve, our prior conduct may be investigated.
Our business operations are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and various other U.S. federal and state regulatory authorities, the EMA and other foreign regulatory authorities that establish requirements relating to, among other things, manufacturing practices, product labeling, and advertising and post marketing reporting, including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns. Notably, in September 2025, the FDA announced its intent to rein in direct-to-consumer advertising by increasing enforcement and revising existing regulations to be more restrictive. On September 9, 2025, Teva received two untitled letters from the FDA regarding claims in AUSTEDO television advertisements to which Teva has responded. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals to market a drug or medical device can be costly and time-consuming, and approvals might not be granted for future products, or additional indications or uses of existing products, on a timely basis, if at all. Delays in the receipt of, or failure to obtain approvals for, future products, or new indications and uses, could result in delayed realization of product revenues, reduction in revenues and substantial additional costs. We may continue to experience similar delays. No assurance can be given that we will remain in compliance with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements once approval or marketing authorization has been obtained for a product.
Additionally, our research and development, laboratory, and manufacturing facilities are subject to ongoing regulation, including periodic inspection by the FDA in the U.S., the EMA in the EU, and other regulatory authorities, and we must incur expense and expend significant effort to maintain adequate controls over our operations and ensure compliance with complex regulations. Following an inspection or other inquiry by or interaction with the regulator, regulatory agencies have in the past and may in the future issue a notice listing conditions that are believed to violate cGMP or other laboratory, clinical, or manufacturing regulations, or take other regulatory action, including issuing a warning letter for violations of “regulatory significance” that may result in enforcement actions if not promptly and adequately corrected. In recent years, regulatory agencies around the world have increased their scrutiny of pharmaceutical companies, and our R&D and manufacturing facilities, as well as those of our vendors and manufacturing partners, have also been the subject of increased regulatory oversight, leading to increased expenditures required to ensure compliance with new or more stringent
41
research, production and quality control regulations. This has resulted in delayed product launches, product recalls, and facility shutdowns, among other measures and remedial actions, to address specific issues. These actions have in the past and may in the future adversely impact our ability to supply various products around the world and to obtain approvals for new products developed and manufactured at the affected facilities. If any regulatory body were to require one or more of our significant facilities to cease or limit production, or to halt the approval of new or pending regulatory applications, our business and reputation could be adversely affected. In addition, because regulatory approval to develop or manufacture a drug is site-specific, the delay and cost of remedial actions or obtaining approval to develop or manufacture at a specific facility could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we are subject to regulations in various jurisdictions, including the Federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act in the U.S., the Falsified Medicines Directive in the European Union and many other such regulations in other countries that require us to develop electronic systems to serialize, track, trace and authenticate units of our products through the supply chain and distribution system. Compliance with these regulations may result in increased expenses for us or impose greater administrative burdens on our organization, and failure to meet these requirements could result in fines or other penalties.
Additionally, the enactment of the IRA represents the most significant pharmaceutical pricing reform in the United States to date and includes legislative changes that could lead to greater pricing pressures on our products, which could be material, such as amendments to (i) eliminate the “donut hole” under the Medicare Part D program which began in 2025; (ii) modify the “noninterference” provisions of the Medicare Part D enabling statute to require the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to set the prices of a subset of drugs and biologics with the highest annual expenditures under Medicare Parts B and D, which included AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR effective as of January 1, 2027, and in the future, could include other innovative products and biologics within our portfolio of products; and (iii) impose manufacturer rebates on certain single-source Part B and Part D drugs when prices rise faster than the rate of inflation.
Several states have established prescription drug affordability boards with authority to review high-cost drugs and, in some cases, set upper payment limits similar to IRA pricing mechanisms. Additional state legislatures have considered legislation that would implement similar IRA-like frameworks or adopt federally set prices for state regulated insurance markets. We continue to monitor these legislative developments and evaluate whether any changes to our business practices and operations are necessary in order to comply with such legislative reforms and to advocate for policies that support both innovation and access to high quality medicines for patients. However, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate impact of such legislative developments on our business in the longer term, or whether additional changes in regulatory policies will occur in the future.
Additionally, the U.S. administration may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for Teva’s business, such as its executive order from May 2025 titled “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients”, see “Item 1—Business—Regulation” for more information. These may include new price restrictions on products Teva sells to Medicaid, Medicare or other government purchasers, or other regulatory changes impacting reimbursement or competitive dynamics in multisource markets.
Failure to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements may subject us to operating restrictions and criminal prosecution, monetary penalties and other disciplinary actions, including but not limited to, sanctions, warning letters, product seizures, recalls, fines, injunctions, suspension, shutdown of production, revocation of approvals or the inability to obtain future approvals, or exclusion from future participation in government healthcare programs. Any of these events could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and financial condition.
Governmental, regulatory and civil proceedings and litigation which we are, or in the future become, party to may have an adverse impact on our business.
In the ordinary course of our business, we are exposed to lawsuits, claims, proceedings and government investigations that could preclude or delay the commercialization of our products or disrupt our business
42
operations. We are currently subject to several governmental and civil proceedings (including civil litigations brought by governmental agencies and/or private plaintiffs) relating to our pricing, marketing, and research and development and manufacturing practices, employment matters, intellectual property, product liability, competition matters, opioids, securities disclosures, financial reporting and accounting practices, corporate governance, contractual relationships with third parties (e.g. customers and suppliers), and environmental matters. These investigations and litigations are costly and involve a significant diversion of management attention. Such proceedings are unpredictable and may develop over lengthy periods of time. An adverse resolution of these proceedings may result in large monetary fines, damages, additional litigation, such as securities and derivative actions, and other non-monetary sanctions and remedies, such as mandated compliance agreements, all of which can be expensive and disruptive to our operations and business, and can impact decisions related to our product offerings and portfolio.
Due to increasing numbers of securities claims over the last several years and related payouts under insurance policies, in addition to increased settlement values in “event-driven” litigation and a growing number of plaintiff shareholder law firms eager to bring claims, premiums and deductibles for insurance, including D&O insurance, have been increasing and some insurers are reducing the number of companies they insure, causing the supply of insurance to lag behind demand. This could increase our premiums, reduce the scope and capacity of our coverage, and adversely affect our ability to maintain and renew our existing insurance policies on favorable terms or at all. While we continue to maintain insurance coverage intended to address certain risks, such coverage may be insufficient to cover claims and losses we face.
Healthcare reforms, and related reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage, by governmental authorities and third-party payers may adversely affect our business.
The continuing increase in expenditures for healthcare has been the subject of considerable government attention almost everywhere we conduct business. Private health insurers and government health authorities continue to seek ways to reduce or contain healthcare costs, including by reducing or eliminating coverage for certain products and lowering reimbursement levels. The focus on reducing or containing healthcare costs has been fueled by controversies, political debate and publicity about prices for pharmaceutical products that some consider excessive, including Congressional and other inquiries into drug pricing, including with respect to our innovative medicines, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation. In most of the countries and regions where we operate, including the United States, Western Europe, Israel, Russia, certain countries in Central and Eastern Europe and several countries in Latin America, pharmaceutical prices are subject to new government policies designed to reduce healthcare costs, and may be subject to additional regulatory efforts, funding restrictions, legislative proposals, policy interpretations, investigations and legal proceedings regarding pricing practices. These changes frequently adversely affect pricing and profitability and may cause delays in market entry, or decisions to forgo or discontinue development programs for our products. Certain U.S. states have implemented or are considering pharmaceutical price controls or patient access constraints under the Medicaid program, and some jurisdictions have implemented or are considering price-control regimes that would apply to broader segments of their populations that are not Medicaid-eligible. Private third-party payers, such as health plans, increasingly challenge pharmaceutical product pricing, which could result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and a reduction in demand for our products.
Under federal law, companies participating in the Medicaid Drug Rebate program must also participate in the Public Health Service’s 340B drug pricing program. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation” above for more information.
The current U.S. administration may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for Teva’s business. These may include changes to the level of scrutiny applied by HRSA to enforce 340B program non-compliance, new price restrictions, such as efforts to reduce prescription drug prices by encouraging manufacturers to voluntarily adopt “Most Favored Nation” (MFN) pricing models on products Teva sells to Medicaid, Medicare or other government purchasers, or other regulatory changes impacting reimbursement or competitive dynamics in multisource markets. Additionally, in its June 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises
43
v. Raimondo (the “Loper decision”), the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the longstanding Chevron doctrine, under which courts were required to give deference to regulatory agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous federal statutes. The Loper decision could result in additional legal challenges to regulations and guidance issued by federal agencies applicable to our operations, including those issued by the FDA. Additionally, the Loper decision may result in increased regulatory uncertainty, inconsistent judicial interpretations and other impacts to the agency rulemaking process. We cannot predict which additional measures may be adopted or the impact of current and additional measures on the marketing, pricing and demand for our products, and any such measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increased purchasing power of entities that negotiate on behalf of Medicare, Medicaid, and private sector beneficiaries may result in increased pricing pressure by influencing the reimbursement policies of third-party payers. Recent healthcare reform legislation, including the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), will likely reduce the number of insured in Medicaid and the Health Insurance Exchange markets, which may alter utilization patterns and shift negotiating leverage among payers. Increased financial pressure on third-party payers from healthcare reform legislation may have an adverse effect on us by increasing the amount of rebates we pay for coverage of our drugs by Medicaid programs. It is uncertain how current and future reforms, including any new legislation enacted by the U.S. administration, in these areas will influence the future of our business operations and financial condition. In addition, “tender systems” for generic pharmaceuticals have been implemented (by both public and private entities) in a number of significant markets in which we operate, including in some European markets, in an effort to lower prices. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids that establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. These measures impact marketing practices and reimbursement of drugs and may further increase pressure on reimbursement margins. Certain other countries may consider the implementation of a tender system. Failing to win tenders or our withdrawal from participating in tenders, or the implementation of similar systems in other markets leading to further price declines, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
Public concern over the abuse of opioid medications, increased legal and regulatory action and the nationwide settlement could negatively affect our business.
Certain governmental and regulatory agencies are focused on the abuse of opioid medications in the United States. U.S. federal, state and local governmental and regulatory agencies have conducted and may in the future conduct investigations of us, other pharmaceutical manufacturers and other supply chain participants with regard to the manufacture, sale, marketing and distribution of opioid medications. In June 2023, we consummated a nationwide settlement to resolve claims brought by various states and political subdivisions in connection with our manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of opioids. The payments required to be made under this settlement agreement and others may have an adverse impact on our operations and cash flows and there is no assurance that we will have the liquidity or other resources necessary to make such payments and provide supplies of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray (our generic version of Narcan®) in the amounts and at the times required under the terms of our nationwide and other settlements. For further information, see “Opioids Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, we are defending claims and putative class action lawsuits in Canada in relation to the manufacture, sale, marketing and distribution of opioid medications. The loss or settlement of any such claims related to opioids could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.
In addition to the costs and potential consequences associated with defending the governmental investigations and legal proceedings, legislative, regulatory or industry measures to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications may also affect our business in ways that we are not able to predict. For example, a number of states, including New York, have enacted legislation that requires the payment of assessments or taxes on the sale or distribution of opioid medications in those states.
44
Furthermore, we utilize controlled substances in certain of our current products and products in development, and therefore must meet the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and related regulations administered by the DEA in the U.S., as well as the requirements of similar laws and regulations in other countries where we operate, relating to the manufacture, importation, shipment, storage, sale, and use of controlled substances. While we have compliance systems in place, risks associated with these laws and regulations cannot be entirely eliminated by policies and procedures. For example, violations of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and related laws and regulations by direct customers (such as distributors and wholesalers), down-stream customers (such as pharmacies) and health-care providers may expose us to liability and penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. In addition, prescription drug abuse and the diversion of opioids and other controlled substances are the frequent subject of public attention, including, for example, past media reports over the appropriateness of prescription of medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, reputations, results of operations, cash flows or share price.
The pharmaceutical sector is facing increased government scrutiny from competition and pricing authorities around the world, which may expose us to significant damages and commercial restrictions that can materially and adversely affect our business.
We are required to comply with competition laws in the territories where we do business around the world. Compliance with these laws has been the subject of increasing focus and activity by regulatory authorities, both in the United States and Europe, in recent years. Alleged actions by our employees, in violation of such laws, or evolving interpretations of competition law as applicable to certain practices, have exposed us, and may further expose us, to investigations and legal proceedings, which have resulted, and in the future may result, in significant liability for alleged violations of competition laws and material adverse effects on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. We have been and may in the future be subject to investigations, claims and proceedings relating to violations of these competition laws and regulations, such as the Sherman Act. In August 2023, we reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ to settle certain price-fixing and market allocation charges brought against us in 2020, and in October 2024, we reached a settlement agreement with the DOJ Civil Division to resolve potential False Claims Act claims based on similar allegations. In addition, we are a party to numerous civil claims brought by state officials and private plaintiffs alleging that Teva, together with other pharmaceutical manufacturers, engaged in conspiracies to fix prices and/or allocate market share of generic products in the United States. For further information, see “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements. If any investigations, claims or proceedings are adversely determined against us, we may face material adverse effects on our business, including monetary penalties. We have been involved in numerous litigations involving challenges to the validity or enforceability of listed patents (including our own), and therefore settling patent litigations has been and will likely continue to be an important part of our business. There is continued scrutiny of our patent settlements, including from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the European Commission. Accordingly, we may receive formal or informal requests from competition law authorities around the world for information about a particular settlement agreement, and there is a risk that governmental authorities, customers, other downstream purchasers or others may commence actions against us alleging violations of antitrust laws based on our settlement agreements. We are currently defendants in antitrust actions brought by governmental agencies and private plaintiffs involving numerous settlement agreements and, since 2015, we have been subject to a consent decree with the FTC, which imposes on us certain injunctive reliefs with respect to our ability to enter into patent settlements in the United States. The U.S. Congress and certain state legislatures in the United States have also passed, or have proposed passing, legislation that could adversely impact our ability to settle patent litigations. For example, the State of California has enacted legislation that creates a presumption, with certain exceptions and safe harbors, that various types of patent litigation settlements are anti-competitive, and imposes substantial monetary penalties on companies and individuals who do not comply. The enforcement of this law has been enjoined on constitutional grounds, but the
45
State has appealed that injunction, and such legislation still creates a risk of significant potential exposure for settling patent litigations and, in turn, makes it more difficult to settle in the first place, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Following calls in recent years from policy makers and other stakeholders in many countries for governmental intervention to address the high prices of certain pharmaceutical products, we have been in the past, and may in the future be, subject to governmental investigations, claims or other legal or regulatory actions regarding our pricing and/or other alleged exclusionary practices. These include, among others, U.S. Congressional investigations regarding both our innovative medicines and generic medicines, the European Commission’s proceedings related to COPAXONE with the recent decision by the European Commission from October 31, 2024, and litigation concerning the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority’s inquiry regarding hydrocortisone. Additionally, in June 2024, Teva received a civil investigative demand from the FTC, seeking documents and information related to patents listed in the Orange Book in connection with certain of the Company’s inhaler products, which followed letters sent by the FTC in November 2023 and April 2024, notifying Teva and other pharmaceutical companies as well as the FDA, under 21 CFR 314.53, that in the FTC’s view, certain of our and other pharmaceutical companies’ patents have been improperly listed in the Orange Book, resulting in potential delays to generic competition, and subsequently, certain members of the U.S. Congress expressed similar concerns of the FTC. Any such investigation may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see “Competition Matters” and “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights and we may have sold or may in the future elect to sell products prior to the final resolution of outstanding intellectual property litigation, and, as a result, we may be prevented from manufacturing and selling some of our products and could be subject to liability for damages in the United States, Europe and other markets where we do business.
Our ability to introduce new products depends in part upon the success of our challenges to patent rights held by third parties or our ability to develop non-infringing products. Based upon a variety of legal and commercial factors, we may elect to sell a product even though patent litigation is still pending, either before any court decision is rendered or while an appeal of a lower court decision is pending. The outcome of such patent litigation could, in certain cases, materially adversely affect our business. For further information, see “Intellectual Property Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.
If we sell products prior to a final court decision, and such decision is adverse to us, we could be required to cease selling the infringing products, causing us to lose future sales revenue from such products and we could face substantial liabilities for patent infringement, in the form of either payment for the patentee’s lost profits or a royalty on our sales of the infringing products. These damages may be significant and could materially adversely affect our business. In the United States, in the event of a finding of willful infringement, the damages assessed may be up to three times the profits lost by the patent owner. Because of the discount pricing typically involved with generic pharmaceutical products, patented brand products generally realize a significantly higher profit margin than generic pharmaceutical products. As a result, the damages assessed may be significantly higher than our profits. In addition, even if we do not owe money damages, we may incur significant legal and related expenses in the course of successfully defending against infringement claims.
We may be susceptible to significant product liability claims that are not covered by insurance.
Our business inherently exposes us to claims for injuries, including both physical injuries and/or related economic losses, allegedly resulting from the use of our products. As our portfolio of available products expands, particularly with new innovative medicines, we may experience increases in product liability claims asserted against us.
46
We maintain an insurance program, including commercial insurance, self-insurance (including direct risk retention), or a combination of both approaches, in amounts and on terms that we believe are reasonable and prudent in light of our business and related risks. We sell, and will continue to sell, pharmaceutical products that are not covered by product liability insurance. In addition, we may be subject to claims for which insurance coverage is denied, as well as claims that exceed our policy limits. Product liability coverage for pharmaceutical companies is becoming more expensive and increasingly difficult to obtain. As a result, we have in the past not been, and may in the future not be, able to obtain the precise type and amount of insurance we desire, or any insurance on reasonable terms, in the markets in which we operate. For further information see “Product Liability Litigation” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements.
Any failure to comply with the complex reporting and payment obligations under the Medicare and Medicaid programs may result in further litigation or sanctions, in addition to those that we have announced in previous years.
The U.S. laws and regulations regarding Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursement and rebates and other governmental programs are complex. Some of the applicable laws may impose liability (and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other programs), even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. The subjective decisions and complex methodologies used in making calculations under these programs are subject to review and challenge, and it is possible that such reviews could result in material changes. In August 2020, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Boston, Massachusetts brought a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Teva, alleging that Teva’s donations to certain 501(c)(3) charities that provided financial assistance to multiple sclerosis patients violated the Anti-Kickback Statute. On October 10, 2024, Teva entered into a settlement agreement with the DOJ to resolve these claims, pursuant to which Teva will pay $425 million over six years. In addition, we are notified from time to time of governmental investigations regarding drug reimbursement or pricing issues. For further information, see “Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to Pricing and Marketing” in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements. Certain parts of Medicare benefits are under scrutiny, as the U.S. Congress looks for ways to reduce government spending on prescription medicines.
Sanctions and trade control laws create the potential for significant liabilities, penalties and reputational harm.
As a company with global operations, we are subject to national laws as well as international treaties and conventions controlling imports, exports, re-export, transfer and diversion of goods (including finished goods, materials, APIs, packaging materials, other products and machines), services and technology. These include import and customs laws, export controls, trade embargoes and economic sanctions, restrictions on sales to parties that are listed on (or are owned or controlled by one or more parties listed on) denied party watch lists and anti-boycott measures (collectively “Sanctions and Trade Controls”). Applicable Sanctions and Trade Controls are administered by Israel’s Ministry of Finance, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of Commerce, other U.S. agencies, the Council of the European Union, and multiple other agencies of other jurisdictions around the world where we do business. Sanctions and Trade Controls relate to a number of aspects of our business, including most notably the sales of finished goods and API. Compliance with Sanctions and Trade Controls has been the subject of increasing focus and activity by regulatory authorities, especially in the United States and the EU, in recent years, and requirements under applicable Sanctions and Trade Controls in general, change frequently. Sanctions and Trade Controls imposed with respect to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine have been particularly dynamic and future geopolitical conflicts involving other jurisdictions may result in further changes to the sanctions environment. Any such changes to the sanctions environment may require us to withdraw from or limit our exposure to certain markets or to terminate certain business relationships in order to remain in compliance with applicable laws. Although we have policies and procedures designed to address compliance with Sanctions and Trade Controls, actions by our employees, by third-party intermediaries (such as distributors and wholesalers) or others acting on our behalf in violation of relevant laws and regulations, may expose us to liability and penalties for violations of Sanctions and Trade Controls and accordingly may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
47
Our failure to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations worldwide could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment, safety matters, regulation of chemicals and product safety in the countries where we manufacture and sell our products or otherwise operate our business. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials, including the direct and indirect discharge of pollutants and pharmaceutical residues into the environment. In addition, in November 2024, the European Union adopted revisions to the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive that requires pharmaceutical companies to pay for a majority of the costs to remove micropollutants from wastewater and its proportional share of costs to collect and verify data on their products and other costs, based on the quantities of a relevant substance in the products the company places on the market and the hazardousness of those substances. Compliance with such laws and regulations will require ongoing, potentially increasing, compliance-related costs and, if we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we may be subject to substantial fines and penalties, enforcement actions, mandatory corrective actions and/or legal proceedings. In the normal course of our business, we are also exposed to risks relating to possible releases of hazardous substances into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could require remediation, including of contaminated soil and/or groundwater, or replacement of equipment. Under certain laws, we may be required to remediate contamination at certain properties, regardless of whether the contamination was caused by us or by previous occupants or users of the property. Further, changes in laws or regulations with respect to the use and/or presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our products or the components used in the research, development, manufacture and/or packaging of our products could disrupt or restrict our ability to develop, produce or sell our products in the affected jurisdictions, potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on our business. Climate change, and evolving laws, regulations and policies regarding climate change, could also pose additional legal or regulatory requirements related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and climate risk reporting, carbon pricing, cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes and mandatory reduction targets. These more stringent requirements could, among other things, increase our costs of sourcing, production, and transportation, as well as have negative reputational impacts if we fail to meet such requirements. The consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather and water scarcity, could pose risks to our facilities and disruption of our activities, and any failure to respond to risks regarding climate change may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
Natural disasters and extreme weather events resulting from climate change, such as floods, heatwaves, blizzards, hurricanes, wildfires, the rise of sea level, and water stress, could impact our business activities and our ability to deliver our products to customers. We evaluate these risks in our supply planning, loss prevention and business continuity planning. Additionally, our manufacturing operations involve handling chemicals, pressurized systems, and complex equipment, which expose us to inherent health and safety risks. These include potential accidents, fires, explosions, chemical spills, and employee exposure to hazardous substances. Any such incident could result in serious injury, loss of life, property damage, regulatory investigations, and significant operational disruptions. The implementation of an Environmental, Health and Safety Management System across our facilities has resulted in the development of processes to prepare and respond to a range of emergencies that may occur. If our planning and risk management regarding natural disasters, extreme weather events and other health and safety matters fail, our facilities could be impacted and our activities could be significantly disrupted.
We are subject to changes in governmental, investor and societal responses to climate change and sustainability-related issues, which may result in scrutiny or adverse impacts on our business.
Recent changes to investor and governmental approaches to climate change and sustainability-related issues have led to evolving and sometimes conflicting expectations and standards. From time to time, we announce certain initiatives, including goals or commitments, regarding our sustainability focus areas, which include environmental matters, sustainable procurement, health equity and access to medicines, compliance and integrity and I&D. We could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or goals or commitments, or perceived as not
48
acting responsibly or far enough in connection with these matters or other sustainability-related topics. We could also fail, or be perceived to fail to achieve our initiatives or goals, whether described in our announcements, our annual Healthy Future (Sustainability) report or otherwise, or we could fail to accurately report our progress on such initiatives and goals. Such failures could be due to changes in our business or evolving regulations in the countries in which we operate or technical challenges, and any such failures or perceived failures could expose us to negative impacts, including government enforcement actions, private litigation or loss of business. We have also issued sustainability-linked senior notes with targets that include improving access to medicines in low- and middle-income countries and reducing GHG emissions, and failure to achieve such targets could negatively impact our reputation and also result in increased payments to holders of such senior notes.
Furthermore, there are a number of evolving sustainability-related regulatory disclosure regulations with which Teva may have to comply. For example, in October 2023, California enacted the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (“SB 253”) and Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (“SB 261”) that will require certain companies that (i) do business in California to publicly disclose their Scopes 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, with third party assurance of such data, and issue public reports on their climate-related financial risk and related mitigation measures and (ii) operate in California and make certain climate-related claims to provide disclosures around the achievement of climate-related claims, including the use of voluntary carbon credits to achieve such claims. SB 253 and SB 261 are subject to litigation, and, in one of the lawsuits, an injunction was issued in November 2025 barring enforcement of SB 261 while the litigation proceeds; the law could be reinstated. In addition, in December 2022, the European Union adopted Directive No 2464/2022 on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (“CSRD”). The CSRD introduces detailed sustainability reporting obligations, requiring in-scope companies to make sustainability reports in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (“ESRS”), which include certain mandatory disclosures and other voluntary disclosures on impacts, risks, and opportunities in relation to sustainability matters identified as material by the relevant entity under applicable rules. Teva expects to first have to disclose pursuant to the CSRD, in accordance with the ESRS, in 2028. Furthermore, Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy) requires those in-scope companies to report how and to what extent their activities are associated with economic activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable defined herein. These disclosure obligations may lead to increased compliance burdens and costs and result in the disclosure of information that may have a negative impact on our operations and reputation; however, under the EU’s omnibus simplification initiative, the CSRD, ESRS and Taxonomy Regulation are currently under revision to simplify applicable obligations, and this process may reduce compliance burdens, although the final outcome of the legislative process remains uncertain.
In addition to regulatory disclosures, there are a number of sustainability-related regulations requiring the implementation of certain due diligence processes and internal compliance systems in relation to a range of human rights and environmental matters with which Teva may have to comply (collectively, “Sustainability Due Diligence Laws”). For example, a number of jurisdictions have passed or proposed mandatory due diligence requirements in relation to forced labor and human rights matters across corporate groups as well as entity levels and supply chains, some of which have been subject to simplification and postponement. In the European Union, these include the Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on corporate sustainability due diligence, Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on the making available in the EU and the export from the EU of certain commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation and Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 on prohibiting products made with forced labor on the EU market. Compliance with Sustainability Due Diligence Laws of this nature may require the development or update of internal compliance and enterprise risk management policies and related procedures; assigning board and/or management oversight as well as day-to-day operational responsibility for in-scope human rights and environmental matters; implementation of periodic compliance risk assessments; updates to contractual frameworks and agreements; the development of preventative and/or corrective action plans; changes to purchasing, design, and distribution practices, where relevant; and the development or update of notification mechanisms and complaints procedures. The compliance burden and related costs may increase over time. Failure to comply with applicable Sustainability Due Diligence Laws may lead to investigations and audits, fines, exclusion from public procurement, other enforcement action or liabilities, including civil liability or liability from third-party claims, and reputational damage.

Risks related to our financial condition
Because we have substantial international operations, our sales, profits and cash flow may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks.
Fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which we operate in, and the U.S. dollar, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies and our financial condition.
In 2025, approximately 43% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks, including repatriation restrictions in certain countries, and may face heightened risks as we enter new markets. A substantial portion of our sales, particularly in Latin America, Central and Eastern European countries and Asia, are recorded in local currencies, which exposes us to the direct risk of devaluations, hyperinflation or exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, although the majority of our operating costs are recorded in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar, in 2025, we incurred a substantial amount of operating costs in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which only partially offset the currency risk derived from our sales in non-U.S. dollars. Moreover, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which we operate, have in the past and may in the future, materially impact our revenues, results of operations, profitability and cash flows. We use derivative financial instruments and “hedging” techniques, such as issuance of debt in non-U.S. dollar currencies, to manage our balance sheet and income statement exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations in the major foreign currencies in which we operate. However, not all of our potential exposure is covered, and some elements of our consolidated financial statements, such as our equity position, are not protected against foreign currency exposures. Therefore, our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
The imposition of price controls or restrictions on the conversion of foreign currencies could also have a material adverse effect on our financial results. In addition, operating internationally exposes us to credit risks of customers and other counterparties in a number of jurisdictions. Some of these customers and other counterparties may have lesser creditworthiness than others and the legal system for enforcing collections in such jurisdictions may be less well-developed.
Our long-lived assets may continue to lead to significant impairments in the future.
We regularly review our long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, for impairment. Goodwill and acquired indefinite life intangible assets are subject to impairment review on an annual basis and whenever potential impairment indicators are present. Other long-lived assets are reviewed when there is an indication that impairment may have occurred. See notes 6 and 7 to our consolidated financial statements, for descriptions of impairments of intangible assets and goodwill in recent periods.
The amount of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment on our consolidated balance sheet may increase following acquisitions or other collaboration agreements. Changes in market conditions, including further increases in discount rates, exchange rate fluctuations, or other changes may lead to further impairments in the future. In addition, the potential divestment of assets, including the closure or divestment of manufacturing plants and R&D facilities, headquarters and other office locations, may lead to additional impairments. Future events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. For assets that are not impaired, we may adjust the remaining useful lives. Certain non-cash impairments may result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Any significant impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our tax liabilities could be larger than anticipated.
We are subject to tax in many jurisdictions, and significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes. Likewise, we are subject to audit by tax authorities in many jurisdictions. In such
50
audits, our interpretation of tax legislation may be challenged and tax authorities in various jurisdictions may disagree with, and subsequently challenge, the amount of profits taxed in such jurisdictions under our inter-company agreements.
Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate outcome of such audits and related litigation could be different from our provision for taxes and may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements and cash flows. For additional information see note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.
On December 12, 2022, the EU Council announced that EU member states had reached an agreement to implement the minimum taxation component of 15% (“Pillar Two”) of the OECD’s reform of international taxation, as part of the base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”) for large multinational corporations. Other countries have also enacted legislation effective as early as January 1, 2024 with general implementation of a global minimum tax by January 1, 2025, or are expected to enact such legislation in the future. Although, the impact of Pillar Two on our 2025 consolidated financial statements was not material on our effective tax rate, it could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and consolidated financial statements in the future.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law in the United States, introducing significant changes to U.S. corporate tax rules. The Act includes provisions affecting the deductibility of interest expense for U.S. federal tax purposes, the treatment of research and development costs and other depreciable property, and the taxation of foreign subsidiaries’ earnings, among other changes to U.S. corporate tax law. Under ASC 740, changes in tax rates and tax law must be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. While we have evaluated the impact of this Act on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and it does not have a material effect on our 2025 consolidated financial statements, the ultimate impact of these provisions may differ from our estimates. Future interpretations, regulatory guidance, or changes in our business operations could result in increased tax liabilities, reduced deductions, or other adverse effects on our effective tax rate and financial condition.
The termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or a change in our business, could adversely affect our overall effective tax rate.
Our tax expenses and the resulting effective tax rate reflected in our consolidated financial statements may increase over time as a result of changes in corporate income tax rates, other changes in the tax laws of the various countries in which we operate, such as the recent enactments by both the European Union and non-European Union countries of a global minimum tax, or changes in our product mix or the mix of countries where we generate profit. We have benefited, and currently benefit, from a variety of government programs and tax benefits that generally carry conditions that we must meet in order to be eligible to obtain such benefits. If we fail to meet the conditions upon which certain favorable tax treatment is based, we would not be able to claim future tax benefits and could be required to refund tax benefits already received. Additionally, some of these programs and the related tax benefits are available to us for a limited number of years, and these benefits expire from time to time.
Any of the following could have a material effect on our overall effective tax rate: some government programs may be discontinued, or the applicable tax rates may increase; we may be unable to meet the requirements for continuing to qualify for some programs and certain restructuring activities have led and may lead to the loss of certain tax benefits we currently receive; these programs and tax benefits may be unavailable at their current levels; upon expiration of a particular benefit, we may not be eligible to participate in a new program or qualify for a new tax benefit that would offset the loss of the expiring tax benefit; or we may be required to refund previously recognized tax benefits if we are found to be in violation of the stipulated conditions.
51
Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our ability to report our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows accurately and on a timely basis and could harm our reputation.
As a publicly traded company, we are subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and the accuracy of our financial reporting is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal controls. Our internal controls are subject to risk as a result of interpretations, assumptions and estimates in our financial reporting and accounting practices such as changes in our segment reporting. If the interpretations, estimates or judgments we use to prepare our financial statements prove to be incorrect, we may be required to restate our financial results, which could have a number of material adverse effects on us. In addition, any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or implement required new or improved controls could result in our inability to meet our public reporting requirements on a timely basis and properly report our financial results, a restatement of our financial statements and/or harm to our reputation, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. For a discussion of our internal control over financial reporting, see “Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks related to equity ownership
Shareholder rights and responsibilities as a shareholder are governed by Israeli law, which differs in some material respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. companies.
The rights and responsibilities of the holders of our ordinary shares are governed by our articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some material respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising his or her rights and performing his or her obligations towards the company and other shareholders, and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at a general meeting of shareholders on matters such as amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital, mergers and acquisitions and related party transactions requiring shareholder approval. In addition, a shareholder shall refrain from depriving other shareholders, and a shareholder who is aware that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote or to appoint or prevent the appointment of a director or executive officer in the company has a duty of fairness toward the company. These provisions may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on holders of our ordinary shares that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations.
Provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of us, prevent a change of control and negatively impact our share price.
Israeli corporate law regulates acquisitions of shares through tender offers and mergers, requires special approvals for transactions involving directors, officers or significant shareholders, and regulates other matters that may be relevant to these types of transactions. Furthermore, Israeli tax considerations may make potential acquisition transactions unappealing to us or to some of our shareholders. For example, Israeli tax law may subject a shareholder who exchanges his or her ordinary shares for shares in a foreign corporation to taxation before disposition of the investment in the foreign corporation. These provisions of Israeli law may delay, prevent or make difficult an acquisition of our company, which could prevent a change of control and, therefore, depress the price of our shares. In addition, our articles of association contain certain provisions that may make it more difficult to acquire us, such as provisions that provide for a classified board of directors and that our Board of Directors may issue preferred shares. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of us, thereby limiting the opportunity for shareholders to receive a premium for their shares and possibly affecting the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.
52
Our American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and ordinary shares are traded on different stock exchanges and this may result in price variations.
Our ADSs have been traded in the United States since 1982, and on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) since 2012, and our ordinary shares have been listed on the TASE since 1951. Trading in our securities on these markets takes place in different currencies (our ADSs are traded in U.S. dollars and our ordinary shares are traded in New Israeli Shekels), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Israel). As a result, the trading prices of our securities on these two markets may differ due to these factors. In addition, any decrease in the price of our securities on one of these markets could cause a decrease in the trading price of our securities on the other market.
It may be difficult to enforce non-Israeli judgments in Israeli courts against us, our officers and our directors.
We are incorporated in Israel. Certain of our executive officers and directors and our outside auditors are not residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to file or enforce an action against us or any of those persons under non-Israeli law in an Israeli court. In addition, an Israeli court may be deemed forum non conveniens for such legal proceedings. It may also be difficult to effect service of process on these persons in the United States, Europe or elsewhere.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)
Our ADSs, which have been traded in the United States since 1982, were admitted to trade on the Nasdaq National Market in October 1987 and were subsequently traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. On May 30, 2012, we transferred the listing of our ADSs to the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The ADSs are quoted under the symbol “TEVA.” Citibank, N.A. serves as depositary for the ADSs. Each ADS represents one ordinary share.
Various other stock exchanges quote derivatives and options on our ADSs under the symbol “TEVA.”
Ordinary Shares
Our ordinary shares have been listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) since 1951.
Holders
The number of record holders of ADSs at December 31, 2025 was 1,604.
The number of record holders of ordinary shares at December 31, 2025 was 134.
The number of record holders is based upon the actual number of holders registered on our books at such date and does not include holders of shares in “street names” or persons, partnerships, associations, corporations or other entities identified in security position listings maintained by depository trust companies.
Dividends
We have not paid dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs since December 2017.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Repurchase of Shares
We did not repurchase any of our shares during the year ended December 31, 2025. Under applicable Israeli corporate law, a share repurchase is considered a distribution and is subject to the applicable statutory tests and limitations, related to a company’s profits and solvency capabilities. Pursuant to a recent amendment in applicable corporate law regulations, companies whose shares are listed abroad (including dual-listed companies such as Teva) may benefit from certain relief with respect to the procedures to be taken in connection with share repurchases. Decisions regarding any future share repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth in alignment with the Company’s Pivot to Growth strategy, and are subject to the approval by Teva’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company, enabled by a world-class generics business. For over 120 years, our commitment to bettering health has never wavered. From innovating in the fields of neuroscience and immunology to providing complex generic medicines, biosimilars and pharmacy brands worldwide, we are dedicated to addressing patients’ needs, now and in the future.
We operate worldwide, with headquarters in Israel and a significant presence in the United States, Europe and many other markets around the world. Today, our global network of capabilities consists of approximately 34,000 employees across 57 markets.
Teva was incorporated in Israel on February 13, 1944 and is the successor to a number of Israeli corporations, the oldest of which was established in 1901.
Our Business Segments
We operate our business through three segments: United States, Europe and International Markets. Each business segment manages our entire product portfolio in its region, including generics, which includes biosimilars and OTC products, as well as innovative medicines. This structure enables strong alignment and integration between operations, commercial regions, R&D and our global marketing and portfolio function, optimizing our product lifecycle across therapeutic areas.
In addition to these three segments, we have other activities, primarily the sale of API to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliate Medis.
Pivot to Growth Strategy
In 2025, we continued to execute on the four key pillars of our “Pivot to Growth” strategy, announced in May 2023. As part of this strategy, in 2025, we entered the strategy’s “Accelerate Growth” phase, during which we focus on growing our innovative portfolio, aligning capital allocation to invest in activities we expect to have the highest value, and modernizing our organization and operations to drive both efficiency and cost savings. For additional information on our Pivot to Growth strategy, see “Item 1—Business—Pivot to Growth Strategy.”
Macroeconomic Environment
In recent years, the global economy has been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates. A significant portion of our revenues is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and we manufacture many of our products outside of the United States. As a result, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which we operate have in the past and may in the future materially impact our revenues, results of operations, profitability and cash flows. In addition, in many of the markets in which we operate, we have experienced elevated inflation in recent years, contributing to higher interest rates. In other markets, such as the EU, inflation has recently declined, resulting in lower interest rates. Although inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures have and may continue to ease, the higher costs we have incurred in recent periods have already affected our operations and are likely to continue influencing our financial results. Recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on materials and products from countries where we do business and any responsive or reciprocal actions taken by such countries could impact our costs and our global operations. The countries subject to tariffs and the tariff rate imposed on each country is uncertain and dynamic, and we continue to monitor and assess the potential impact on our supply chain and global operations.
59
The pharmaceutical industry has also experienced disruptions in global supply chains, including our own supply chain, due to geopolitical tensions and other factors. In some cases, such disruptions have resulted in and may continue to result in delays in our production and distribution processes, impacting product availability and our ability to timely respond to consumer demand. We have taken measures and are continually considering various initiatives, including, enhanced inventory management, alternative sourcing strategies, and backup production plans for key products, to allow us to partially mitigate and offset the impact of these factors.
Highlights
Significant highlights of 2025 included:
| • | Our revenues in 2025 were $17,258 million, an increase of 4% in U.S. dollars, or 3% in local currency terms, compared to 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues from our key innovative products AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY, and from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by lower revenues from our International Markets segment due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, from certain other innovative products across all our segments, lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights and from generic products in our Europe segment. |
| • | Our United States segment generated revenues of $9,186 million and profit of $3,356 million in 2025. Revenues increased by 14% and profit increased by 46% compared to 2024. |
| • | Our Europe segment generated revenues of $5,040 million and profit of $1,303 million in 2025. Revenues decreased by 1% in U.S. dollars, or 5% in local currency terms, compared to 2024. Profit decreased by 17% compared to 2024. |
| • | Our International Markets segment generated revenues of $2,162 million and profit of $336 million in 2025. Revenues decreased by 12% in U.S. dollars, or 11% in local currency terms, compared to 2024. Profit decreased by 24% compared to 2024. |

| • | Gross profit margin was 51.8% in 2025, compared to 48.7% in 2024. |
| • | R&D expenses, net in 2025 were $1,013 million, an increase of 2% compared to $998 million in 2024. |
| • | We recorded expenses of $1,050 million for other asset impairments, restructuring and other items in 2025, compared to expenses of $1,388 million in 2024. |
| • | We recorded expenses of $467 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies in 2025, compared to expenses of $761 million in 2024. |
| • | Operating income was $2,157 million in 2025, compared to operating loss of $303 million in 2024. |
| • | Financial expenses, net were $934 million in 2025, compared to $981 million in 2024. |
| • | In 2025, we recognized a tax benefit of $180 million on a pre-tax income of $1,223 million. In 2024, we recognized a tax expense of $676 million on a pre-tax loss of $1,284 million. |
| • | Our debt was $16,807 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $17,783 million as of December 31, 2024. |
| • | Cash flow generated from operating activities in 2025 was $1,649 million, compared to $1,247 million in 2024. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by higher legal settlement payments. Net changes in working capital items were neutral. |

| • | During 2025, we generated free cash flow of $2,396 million, which we define as comprising $1,649 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,214 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $34 million in proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $501 million in cash used for capital investments. During 2024, we generated free cash flow of $2,068 million. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from higher cash flow generated from operating activities. |

Other revenues in 2024 include the sale of certain product rights. |
Generic products (including biosimilars) revenues in our United States segment in 2025 increased by 2% to $3,657 million, compared to 2024, mainly driven by higher revenues from our portfolio of biosimilar products and new product launches.
Among the most significant generic products we sold in the United States in 2025 were lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®), Truxima® (the biosimilar to Rituxan®), epinephrine injectable solution (the generic equivalent of EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr®), and SIMLANDI® (the biosimilar to Humira®).
For more information on our generic products, including biosimilars, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Generic Medicines.”
In 2025, our total prescriptions were approximately 254 million (based on trailing twelve months), representing 6.5% of total U.S. generic prescriptions according to IQVIA data.
AJOVY revenues in our United States segment in 2025 increased by 42% to $295 million, compared to 2024, mainly due to growth in volume. In 2025, AJOVY’s exit market share in the United States in terms of total number of prescriptions was 33.3%, out of the subcutaneous injectable anti-CGRP class, compared to 29.6% in 2024.
For more information on AJOVY, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AJOVY.”
AUSTEDO revenues (which include AUSTEDO XR) in our United States segment in 2025 increased by 35% to $2,217 million, compared to 2024, mainly due to growth in volume.
For more information on AUSTEDO, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AUSTEDO.”
62
UZEDY revenues in our United States segment in 2025 increased by 63% to $191 million compared to 2024, mainly due to growth in volume.
For more information on UZEDY, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—UZEDY.”
BENDEKA and TREANDA combined revenues in our United States segment in 2025 decreased by 13% to $147 million, compared to 2024, mainly due to competition from alternative therapies, as well as from generic bendamustine products.
For more information on BENDEKA and TREANDA, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—Oncology.”
COPAXONE revenues in our United States segment in 2025 increased by 6% to $255 million, compared to 2024, mainly due to reduction in sales allowance, partially offset by lower volumes.
For more information on COPAXONE, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—COPAXONE.”
Anda revenues from third parties in our United States segment in 2025 decreased by 3% to $1,496 million, compared to 2024, mainly due to lower volumes. Anda, our distribution business in the United States, distributes generic, biosimilar and innovative medicines and OTC pharmaceutical products from Teva and various third-party manufacturers to independent retail pharmacies, pharmacy retail chains, hospitals and physician offices in the United States. Anda is able to compete in the distribution market by maintaining a broad portfolio of products, competitive pricing and delivery throughout the United States.
To align with our Pivot to Growth strategy, commencing January 1, 2026, Anda will no longer be reported under our United States segment. This shift will allow the United States segment to continue to manage its entire product portfolio in the region, while strengthening focus on its biopharmaceutical business, growth engines and innovation. As a result, from that date, Anda will be reported as part of the Company’s Other Activities. We will align our internal financial and segment reporting in coordination with this shift effective January 1, 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, our generic products pipeline in the United States includes 116 product applications awaiting FDA approval, including 66 tentative approvals. This total reflects all pending ANDAs, supplements for product line extensions and tentatively approved applications and includes some instances where more than one application was submitted for the same reference product. Excluding overlaps, the branded products underlying these pending applications had U.S. sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $124 billion, according to IQVIA. Approximately 80% of pending applications include a paragraph IV patent challenge and we believe we are first-to-file with respect to 54 of these products, or 77 products including final approvals where launch is pending a settlement agreement or court decision. Collectively, these first-to-file opportunities represent over $85 billion in U.S. brand sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, according to IQVIA.
IQVIA reported brand sales are one of the many indicators of future potential value of a launch, but equally important are the mix and timing of competition, as well as cost effectiveness. The potential advantages of being the first filer with respect to some of these products may be subject to forfeiture, shared exclusivity or competition from so-called “authorized generics,” which may ultimately affect the value derived.
64
In 2025, we received tentative approvals for generic equivalents of the products listed in the table below, excluding overlapping applications. A “tentative approval” indicates that the FDA has substantially completed its review of an application and final approval is expected once the relevant patent expires, a court decision is reached, a 30-month regulatory stay lapses or a 180-day exclusivity period awarded to another manufacturer either expires or is forfeited.

Revenues from our Europe segment in 2025 were $5,040 million, a decrease of $63 million, or 1%, compared to 2024. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 5%, mainly due to the year-over-year impact from the sale of certain product rights, lower revenues from generic and OTC products, as well as COPAXONE, partially offset by higher revenues from AJOVY.
In 2025, revenues were positively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of $173 million, net of hedging effects, compared to 2024. Revenues in 2025 were affected by a $31 million negative hedging impact, compared to a positive hedging impact of $21 million in 2024, which are included in “Other” in the table below.

International Markets Revenues
Our International Markets segment includes all countries in which we operate other than the United States and the countries included in our Europe segment, and commencing January 1, 2024, also includes Canada. The International Markets segment covers a substantial portion of the global pharmaceutical industry, including more than 35 countries. See note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.
The countries in our International Markets segment include highly regulated, mainly generic markets, such as Canada and Israel, and branded generics-oriented markets, such as Russia and certain Latin America markets.
On March 31, 2025, we divested our Teva-Takeda business venture in Japan, which included generic products and legacy products. Since the establishment of the business venture and until the completion of its sale, Teva held 51% of the outstanding common stock of the business venture. On March 31, 2025, we deconsolidated the business venture from our financial statements. For additional information, see notes 2 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, sustained conflict between Russia and Ukraine and disruption in the region is ongoing. Russia and Ukraine markets are included in our International Markets segment results and we have no manufacturing or R&D facilities in these markets. In 2025, the impact of this conflict on our International Markets segment’s results of operations and financial condition was immaterial. Consistent with our foreign exchange risk management hedging programs, in 2025, we partially hedged our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations with respect to our balance sheet assets, revenues and expenses. As of the end of 2025, we also hedge a small part of our projected net revenues in Russian ruble for 2026. Prior to and since the escalation of the conflict, we have been taking measures to reduce our operational cash balances in Russia and Ukraine. We have been monitoring the solvency of our customers in Russia and Ukraine and have taken measures, where practicable, to mitigate our exposure to risks related to the conflict in the region. However, the duration, severity and global implications (including potential inflation and devaluation consequences) of the conflict cannot be predicted, and could have an effect on our business, including on our exchange rate exposure, supply chain, operational costs and commercial presence in these markets.
Revenues from our International Markets segment in 2025 were $2,162 million, a decrease of $301 million, or 12%, compared to 2024. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 11% compared to 2024. This decrease was mainly due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights, as well as a negative hedging impact, partially offset by higher revenues from generic products in other markets and AJOVY.
In 2025, revenues were negatively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of $36 million net of hedging effects, compared to 2024. Revenues in 2025, were affected by a $34 million negative hedging impact, compared to a $13 million positive hedging impact in 2024, which are included in “Other” in the table below. See note 10d to our consolidated financial statements.

Generic products revenues (including OTC and biosimilar products) in our International Markets segment in 2025 were $1,721, a decrease of 11% in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms compared to 2024. This decrease was mainly due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, partially offset by higher revenues in other markets.
AJOVY revenues in our International Markets segment in 2025 increased by 28% to $108 million, compared to 2024. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 27%, due to growth in existing markets in which AJOVY was launched.
For more information on AJOVY, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering— Innovative Medicines—AJOVY.”
AUSTEDO revenues in our International Markets segment were $43 million in 2025, a decrease of 6%, in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms compared to 2024. This decrease was mainly due to timing of shipments.
For more information on AUSTEDO, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AUSTEDO.”
COPAXONE revenues in our International Markets segment in 2025 decreased by 34% to $32 million, compared to 2024. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 30%, mainly due to market share erosion and competition.
For more information on COPAXONE, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—COPAXONE.”
International Markets Gross Profit
Gross profit from our International Markets segment in 2025 was $1,046 million, a decrease of 15% compared to $1,235 million in 2024.
70
Gross profit margin for our International Markets segment in 2025 decreased to 48.4%, compared to 50.1% in 2024. This decrease was mainly due to lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights and a negative hedging impact, partially offset by price increases due to inflationary pressure in certain markets and a favorable mix of products.
International Markets R&D Expenses
R&D expenses relating to our International Markets segment in 2025 were $103 million, a decrease of 8% compared to $112 million in 2024.
For a description of our R&D expenses in 2025, see “—Teva Consolidated Results—Research and Development (R&D) Expenses, net” below.
International Markets S&M Expenses
S&M expenses relating to our International Markets segment in 2025 were $475 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $534 million in 2024, mainly as a result of the divestment of our business venture in Japan, as well as cost efficiencies.
International Markets G&A Expenses
G&A expenses relating to our International Markets segment in 2025 were $147 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $150 million in 2024.
For a description of our G&A expenses in 2025, see “—Teva Consolidated Results— General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses below”.
International Markets Profit
Profit of our International Markets segment consists of revenues less cost of sales, R&D expenses, S&M expenses, G&A expenses and other expenses (income) related to this segment. Segment profit does not include amortization and certain other items.
Profit from our International Markets segment in 2025 was $336 million a decrease of 24% compared to $440 million in 2024. This decrease was mainly due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights and a negative hedging impact.
Other Activities
We have other sources of revenues, primarily the sale of APIs to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies, through our affiliate Medis. These other activities are not included in the United States, Europe or International Markets segments described above. For information on a change to our reporting segments commencing January 1, 2026, see above “—United States Segment”.
On January 31, 2024, we announced that we intend to divest our API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) through a sale. The intention to divest is in alignment with our Pivot to Growth strategy. On November 5, 2025, we announced that exclusive discussions with a selected buyer on the sale have terminated. Teva has initiated a renewed sales process, maintaining its strategic intention to divest its API business. However, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing or structure of a potential divestiture or that a divestiture will be agreed or completed at all. For further information, see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
71
Our revenues from other activities in 2025 were $870 million, a decrease of 8% compared to 2024. In local currency terms revenues decreased by 10% compared to 2024, mainly due to a decrease in revenues from contract manufacturing services.
API sales to third parties in 2025 were $526 million a decrease of 5% in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms compared to 2024, mainly due to lower demand.
Teva Consolidated Results
Revenues
Revenues in 2025 were $17,258 million, an increase of 4% in U.S. dollars, or 3%, in local currency terms, compared to 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues from our key innovative products AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY, and from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by lower revenues from our International Markets segment due to the divestment of our business venture in Japan, from certain other innovative products across all our segments, lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights and from generic products in our Europe segment. See “—United States Revenues,” “—Europe Revenues,” “—International Markets Revenues” and “—Other Activities” above.
Exchange rate movements during 2025, net of hedging effects, positively impacted our revenues by $152 million, compared to 2024. See note 10d to our consolidated financial statements.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in 2025 was $8,938 million, an increase of 11% compared to 2024.
Gross profit margin was 51.8% in 2025, compared to 48.7% in 2024. This increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to a favorable mix of products, primarily driven by higher revenues from AUSTEDO, and development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of certain product rights.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses, net
Our R&D activities for innovative medicines and biosimilar products in each of our segments include costs of discovery research, preclinical work, drug formulation, early- and late-stage clinical development and product registration costs. These expenditures are reported net of contributions received from collaboration partners. Our spending takes place throughout the development process, including (i) early-stage projects in both discovery and preclinical phases; (ii) middle-stage projects in clinical programs up to Phase 3; (iii) late-stage projects in Phase 3 programs, including where a new drug application is currently pending approval; (iv) post-approval studies for marketed products; and (v) indirect expenses, such as costs of infrastructure and personnel.
Our R&D activities for generic products in each of our segments include both (i) direct expenses relating to product formulation, analytical method development, stability testing, management of bioequivalence and other clinical studies and regulatory filings; and (ii) indirect expenses, such as costs of infrastructure and personnel.
Our R&D expenses, net in 2025 were $1,013 million, an increase of 2% compared to $998 million in 2024, as we continue to execute on our Pivot to Growth strategy.
Our higher R&D expenses, net in 2025, compared to 2024, were mainly due to an increase in immunology and in immuno-oncology, as well as in neuroscience (mainly neurodegeneration), partially offset by the non-recurrence of milestone payments related to certain biosimilar projects, and lower expenses related to generics projects.
72
Our R&D expenses, net in 2025 were also impacted by reimbursements and development cost sharing from our strategic collaborations. See note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5.9% in 2025, compared to 6.0% in 2024.
Selling and Marketing (S&M) Expenses
S&M expenses in 2025 were $2,686 million, an increase of 6% compared to 2024. Our S&M expenses were primarily the result of the factors discussed above under “—United States Segment— S&M Expenses,” “—Europe Segment— S&M Expenses” and “—International Markets Segment— S&M Expenses.”
S&M expenses as a percentage of revenues were 15.6% in 2025, compared to 15.4% in 2024.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses
G&A expenses in 2025 were $1,287 million, an increase of 11% compared to 2024. This increase was mainly due to costs related to optimization activities of Teva’s global organization and operations in connection with Teva’s Transformation programs, as well as a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations.
G&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.5% in 2025, compared to 7.0% in 2024.
Identifiable Intangible Asset Impairments
We recorded expenses of $259 million for identifiable intangible asset impairments in 2025, compared to expenses of $251 million in 2024. See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill Impairment
No goodwill impairment charge was recorded in 2025. We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1,280 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 related to our Teva API reporting unit. See note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Other Asset Impairments, Restructuring and Other Items
We recorded expenses of $1,050 million for other asset impairments, restructuring and other items in 2025, compared to expenses of $1,388 million in 2024. Expenses in 2025 were mainly comprised of an impairment related to a manufacturing facility in Europe. Expenses in 2024 were mainly comprised of impairments related to the classification of our business venture in Japan and our API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) as held for sale. See note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.
Legal Settlements and Loss Contingencies
In 2025, we recorded expenses of $467 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies, compared to expenses of $761 million in 2024. See note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.
Other Income (Loss)
Other loss in 2025 was $18 million, compared to other income of $14 million in 2024. See note 16 to our consolidated financial statements.
73
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income was $2,157 million in 2025, compared to an operating loss of $303 million in 2024. This change was mainly due to goodwill impairment charges incurred in 2024, lower other asset impairments, restructuring and other items in 2025, as well as higher gross profit and lower legal settlements and loss contingencies in 2025.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 12.5% in 2025, compared to operating loss as a percentage of revenues of 1.8% in 2024.
Financial Expenses, Net
Financial expenses, net were $934 million in 2025, compared to $981 million in 2024. Financial expenses in 2025 were mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $824 million. Financial expenses in 2024 were mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $915 million.

Income Taxes
In 2025, we recognized a tax benefit of $180 million on a pre-tax income of $1,223 million. In 2024, we recognized a tax expense of $676 million on a pre-tax loss of $1,284 million. See note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.
Share In (Profits) Losses of Associated Companies, Net
Share in profits of associated companies, net was $15 million in 2025, compared to $1 million in 2024.
74
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests
Net income attributable to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests was $7 million in 2025, compared to a net loss attributable to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests of $320 million in 2024. The net loss in 2024 was mainly due to higher impairments of tangible assets, largely related to the classification of our business venture in Japan as held for sale. See note 15 to our consolidated financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Teva
Net income was $1,410 million in 2025, compared to a net loss of $1,639 million in 2024. This change was mainly due to the changes in operating income and income taxes, partially offset by net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in 2024, as discussed above.
Diluted Shares Outstanding and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for the fully diluted share calculation for the years 2025 and 2024 was 1,163 million and 1,131 million shares, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share was $1.21 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to diluted loss per share of $1.45 for the year ended December 31, 2024. See note 18 to our consolidated financial statements.
Share Count for Market Capitalization
We calculate share amounts using the outstanding number of shares (i.e., excluding treasury shares) plus shares that would be outstanding upon the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs and PSUs and the conversion of our convertible senior debentures, in each case, at period end.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,184 million and 1,174 million, respectively.
Impact of Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations
In 2025, approximately 43% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Since our results are reported in U.S. dollars, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks. Accordingly, changes in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and local currencies in the markets in which we operate (primarily the euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Russian ruble, Canadian dollar, new Israeli shekel, Polish złoty, Swedish krona and Chilean peso) impact our results.
During 2025, the following main currencies relevant to our operations decreased in value against the U.S. dollar (each on an annual average compared to annual average basis): the Argentinian peso by 26%, the Turkish lira by 17%, the Mexican peso by 5%, the Brazilian real by 4%, Indian rupee by 4% and the Ukraine hryvna by 4%. The following main currencies relevant to our operations increased in value against the U.S. dollar: the Russian ruble by 11%, the Swedish krona by 8%, the new Israeli shekel by 7%, the Swiss franc by 6%, the Polish złoty by 6%, the euro by 4%, the Bulgarian lev by 4% and the British pound by 3%.
As a result, exchange rate movements during 2025, net of hedging effects, positively impacted overall revenues by $152 million and negatively impacted operating income by $48 million compared to 2024.
In 2025, a negative hedging impact of $65 million was recognized under revenues and a positive hedging impact of $8 million was recognized under cost of sales. In 2024, a positive hedging impact of $34 million was recognized under revenues and a negative hedging impact of $5 million was recognized under cost of sales.
75
The impact of hedging transactions against future projected revenues and expenses are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value on a quarterly basis, while the foreign exchange impact on the underlying revenues and expenses may occur in subsequent quarters. See note 10d to our consolidated financial statements.
Commencing the third quarter of 2018, the cumulative inflation in Argentina exceeded 100% or more over a 3-year period. Although this triggered highly inflationary accounting treatment, it did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Commencing the second quarter of 2022, the cumulative inflation in Turkey exceeded 100% or more over a three-year period. Although this triggered highly inflationary accounting treatment, it did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total balance sheet assets were $40,748 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $39,326 million as of December 31, 2024.
Our working capital balance, which includes accounts receivables net of SR&A, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payables, employee-related obligations, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, was negative $2,733 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to negative $2,837 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly due to higher inventory levels primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations and an increase in accounts receivables, net of SR&A, related to reduced utilization of our U.S. securitization program, partially offset by an increase in accounts payables. We continue our efforts to optimize our working capital management.
Cash investment in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in 2025 was $501 million, compared to $498 million in 2024. Depreciation was $421 million in 2025, compared to $471 million in 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 were $3,556 million compared to $3,300 million as of December 31, 2024.
In the first quarter of 2025, we paid a dividend of $340 million to redeemable non-controlling interests in our business venture in Japan.
Our cash on hand that is not used for ongoing operations is generally invested in bank deposits, as well as liquid securities that bear fixed and floating rates.
Teva’s principal sources of short-term liquidity are its cash on hand, existing cash investments, liquid securities and available credit facilities, primarily its $1.8 billion unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility entered into in April 2022, as amended most recently in December 2025 (“RCF”). See note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
2025 Debt Balance and Movements
As of December 31, 2025, our debt was $16,807 million, compared to $17,783 million as of December 31, 2024. This decrease was mainly due to repayment at maturity of $1,812 million of our senior notes (as detailed below), partially offset by an increase of $803 million due to exchange rate fluctuations. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased $2,290 million aggregate principal amount of notes upon consummation of a cash tender offer, and issued $2,298 million of senior notes, net of discount and issuance costs. For further information, see note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2025, we repaid $426 million of the 6% senior notes at maturity and $427 million of the 7.13% senior notes at maturity.
76
In March 2025, we repaid $515 million of the 4.50% senior notes at maturity.
In July 2025, we repaid $444 million of the 1% senior notes at maturity.
In February 2026, we repaid $23 million of the 0.25% convertible senior debentures at maturity.
Our debt as of December 31, 2025 was 57% denominated in U.S. dollar, with the remainder denominated in euro.
The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of December 31, 2025 was 11%, compared to 10% as of December 31, 2024.
Our financial leverage, which is the ratio between our debt and the sum of our debt and equity, was 68% as of December 31, 2025, compared to 77% as of December 31, 2024.
Our average debt maturity was approximately 5.6 years as of December 31, 2025, compared to 5.5 years as of December 31, 2024.
2024 Debt Balance and Movements
In April 2024, we repaid $956 million of the 6% senior notes at maturity.
In October 2024, we repaid $685 million of the 1.13% senior notes at maturity.
Total Equity
Total equity was $7,914 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $5,380 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was mainly due to a net income attributable to Teva of $1,410 million, and a positive impact of $719 million from exchange rate fluctuations.
Exchange rate fluctuations affected our balance sheet, as approximately 62% of our net assets (including both non-monetary and monetary assets) were in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. When compared to December 31, 2024, changes in currency rates had a positive impact of $719 million on our equity as of December 31, 2025. The following main currencies increased in value against the U.S. dollar: Russian ruble by 28%, Mexican peso by 13%, Polish złoty by 13%, Swiss franc by 12%, Bulgarian lev by 12%, euro by 11%, Chilean peso by 9%, British pound by 7%, and Canadian dollar by 5%. All comparisons are on a year-end to year-end basis.
Cash Flow
We continually seek to improve the efficiency of our working capital management. Periodically, as part of our cash and commercial relationship management activities, we make decisions in our commercial, supply chain, and other activities which drive an optimization of our inventory levels, an acceleration of receivable payments from customers, or deceleration of payments to vendors, including timing of payments related to legal settlements, tax authorities and other matters. These have the effect of increasing or decreasing cash from operations, as well as working capital balance items during any given period. Increased cash from operations has the effect of reducing our leverage ratio, which is measured net of cash and cash equivalents, as of the end of such period. In connection with these efforts, we were able to secure more favorable payment terms from many of our vendors which are expected to continue in future periods. In addition, in periods in which collections from customers are delayed, we have and expect we may in the future extend the time to pay certain vendors, so as to balance our liquidity position. Such decisions have had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our annual operating cash flow measurement and results of operations.
77
Cash flow generated from operating activities in 2025 was $1,649 million, compared to $1,247 million in 2024. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from development milestone payments received in connection with the initiation of Phase 3 studies for duvakitug (anti-TL1A), partially offset by higher legal settlement payments. Net changes in working capital items were neutral.
During 2025, we generated free cash flow of $2,396 million, which we define as comprising $1,649 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,214 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $34 million in proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $501 million in cash used for capital investments. During 2024, we generated free cash flow of $2,068 million, which we define as comprising $1,247 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $1,291 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $43 million proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $498 million in cash used for capital investments and $15 million in cash used for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired. The increase in 2025 resulted mainly from higher cash flow generated from operating activities.
Dividends
We have not paid dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs since December 2017.
Commitments
In addition to financing obligations under short-term debt and long-term senior notes and loans, debentures and convertible debentures, our major contractual obligations and commercial commitments include leases, royalty payments, contingent payments pursuant to acquisition agreements, collaboration agreements and participation in joint ventures associated with R&D activities. For further information on our agreements with mAbxience, Launch Therapeutics and Abingworth, Biolojic Design, Royalty Pharma, Sanofi, Modag, Alvotech, Takeda and MedinCell, see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
We are committed to pay royalties to owners of know-how, partners in alliances and certain other arrangements, and to parties that financed R&D at a wide range of rates as a percentage of sales of certain products, as defined in the agreements. In some cases, the royalty period is not defined; in other cases, royalties will be paid over various periods not exceeding 20 years. Certain of our collaboration agreements include cost-sharing arrangements for development activities which represent additional contractual commitments with the amount and timing of such payments dependent on the progress of such activities.
In connection with certain development, supply and marketing, and research and collaboration or services agreements, we are required to indemnify, in unspecified amounts, the parties to such agreements against third-party claims relating to (i) infringement or violation of intellectual property or other rights of such third party; or (ii) damages to users of the related products. Except as described in our financial statements, we are not aware of any material pending action that may result in the counterparties to these agreements claiming such indemnification.

The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $596 million on December 31, 2025. Payment of these obligations would result from settlements with tax authorities. Due to the difficulty in determining the timing and magnitude of settlements, these obligations are not included in the table above. Correspondingly, it is difficult to ascertain whether we will pay any significant amount related to these obligations within the next year.
We have committed to make potential future milestone payments to third parties under various agreements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, we may be required to pay such amounts. As of December 31, 2025, if all development milestones and targets, for compounds in Phase 2 and more advanced stages of development, are achieved, the total contingent payments could reach an aggregate amount of up to $104 million. Additional contingent payments are owed upon achievement of product approval or launch milestones.
We have committed to pay royalties to owners of know-how, partners in alliances and pursuant to certain other arrangements and to parties that financed research and development, at a wide range of rates as a percentage of sales or of the gross margin of certain products, as defined in the underlying agreements.
Due to the uncertainty of the timing of these payments, these amounts, and the amounts described in the previous paragraph, are not included in the table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, except for: (i) surety underwritten guarantees Teva has provided the European Commission in an amount of 462.2 million euros, together with specified post-decision interest, which remain in force for three years, and which includes substantially similar covenants as our RCF, as disclosed in note 12b to our consolidated financial statements, and (ii) securitization transactions, which are disclosed in note 10f to our consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS Data
We present non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) as management believes that such data provide useful information to investors because they are used by management and our Board of Directors, in conjunction with other performance metrics, to evaluate our operational performance, to prepare and evaluate our work plans and annual budgets and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management, including annual compensation. While other qualitative factors and judgment also affect annual compensation, the principal quantitative element in the determination of such compensation are performance targets tied to the work plan, which are based on these non-GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning and accordingly have limitations in their usefulness to investors. Investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance. The limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all events during a period and may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Investors should consider non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In preparing our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS data, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on our financial performance or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not excluded, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base that is not reflective of our underlying business performance. Certain of these items are also excluded because of the difficulty in predicting their timing and scope. The items excluded from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS include:
| • | amortization of purchased intangible assets; |
| • | certain legal settlements and material litigation fees and/or loss contingencies, due to the difficulty in predicting their timing and scope; |
| • | impairments of long-lived assets, including intangibles, property, plant and equipment and goodwill; |
| • | restructuring expenses, including severance, retention costs, contract cancellation costs and certain accelerated depreciation expenses primarily related to the rationalization of our plants or to certain other strategic activities, such as the realignment of R&D focus or other similar activities; |
| • | acquisition- or divestment- related items, including changes in contingent consideration, integration costs, banker and other professional fees and inventory step-up; |
| • | expenses related to our equity compensation; |
| • | significant one-time financing costs, amortization of issuance costs and terminated derivative instruments, and marketable securities investment valuation gains/losses; |
| • | unusual tax items; |
| • | other awards or settlement amounts, either paid or received; |
| • | other exceptional items that we believe are sufficiently large that their exclusion is important to facilitate an understanding of trends in our financial results, such as impacts due to changes in accounting, significant costs for remediation of plants, or other unusual events; and |
| • | corresponding tax effects of the foregoing items. |

Trend Information
The following factors are expected to have a significant effect on our 2026 results:
| • | continued growth of our key innovative medicines AUSTEDO, AJOVY and UZEDY; |
| • | expanding and accelerating our innovative medicines and biosimilar pipeline, including by pursuing business development and other strategic opportunities; |
| • | ability to successfully execute key generic launches in a timely manner including high-value complex generic medicines, and to successfully develop and launch new biosimilar products; |
| • | continued competition for our generic products where multiple similar generic products have been launched, resulting in pricing pressure in the generics markets and lower revenues. We do, however, also see certain generic opportunities to grow our business, including our portfolio of new drug applications and our portfolio of approved complex products; |
| • | continued decline in sales of certain innovative medicines due to loss of exclusivity, generic competition and/or availability of alternative therapies; |
| • | ongoing impact of macroeconomic headwinds, imposition of tariffs and geopolitical tensions, including global supply chain disruptions as well as exchange rate fluctuations could continue to impact our production and distribution processes, product availability and ability to timely respond to consumer demand. For further details, see “—Macroeconomic Environment” above; |
| • | ongoing evaluation to further focus our business by optimizing our portfolio and global manufacturing footprint to achieve additional operational efficiencies, including potential divestitures, such as our intention to divest the Teva API business, which may affect our business and operations; |
| • | ongoing execution of our Teva Transformation programs, pursuant to which we expect to achieve cost savings through a variety of initiatives including examining practices and efficiencies in methods of working, reduction in headcount and optimizing external spend in the following years; |
| • | our continued financial discipline and debt repayment schedule; |
| • | continued payments related to litigation and tax settlements; |
| • | continued efforts towards achieving our long-term financial goals; and |
| • | continued improvement in our credit ratings by credit agencies. |

Critical Accounting Policies
For a description of our significant accounting policies, see note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We base our judgments on our experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Of our policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements as they require the application of subjective and complex judgment, involving critical accounting estimates and assumptions impacting our consolidated financial statements. We have applied our policies and critical accounting estimates consistently across our businesses.
82
The critical accounting estimates relate to the following:
| • | Revenue Recognition and SR&A in the United States |
| • | Income Taxes |
| • | Contingencies |
| • | Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment |
Revenue Recognition and SR&A in the United States
Our gross product revenues are subject to a variety of deductions which are generally estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized, and primarily represent chargebacks, rebates and sales allowances to wholesalers, retailers and government agencies with respect to our pharmaceutical products. Those deductions represent estimates of rebates and discounts related to gross sales for the reporting period and, as such, knowledge and judgment of market conditions and practice are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period.
Historically, our changes of estimates reflecting actual results or updated expectations, have not been material to our overall business. Product-specific rebates, however, may have a significant impact on year-over-year individual product growth trends. If any of our ratios, factors, assessments, experiences or judgments are not indicative or accurate predictors of our future experience, our results could be materially affected. The sensitivity of our estimates can vary by program, type of customer and geographic location. However, estimates associated with governmental allowances, U.S. Medicaid and other performance-based contract rebates are most at risk for material adjustment because of the extensive time delay between the recording of the accrual and its ultimate settlement, an interval that can generally range up to one year. Because of this time lag, in any given quarter, our adjustments to actual can incorporate revisions of several prior quarters. See also “Revenue recognition” in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The provision for income tax is calculated based on our assumptions as to our entitlement to various benefits under the applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The entitlement to such benefits depends upon our compliance with the terms and conditions set out in these laws.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires that it be more likely than not that the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements be sustained based on technical merits. The amount of benefits recorded for these positions is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not to be sustained. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations.
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the determination of the appropriate valuation allowances, we have considered the most recent projections of future business results and prudent tax planning alternatives that may allow us to realize the deferred tax assets. Taxes which would apply in the event of disposal of investments in subsidiaries have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is our intention to hold these investments rather than realize them.
Taxes have not been provided for tax-exempt income, as the Company intends to permanently reinvest these earnings and does not currently foresee a need to distribute dividends out of these earnings. In addition, the Company announced a suspension of dividend distribution on ordinary shares and ADSs in 2017. Furthermore, deferred taxes have not been provided for the retained earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries because
83
the Company does not expect these subsidiaries to distribute taxable dividends in the foreseeable future, as their earnings and excess cash are used to pay down the group’s external liabilities, and the Company expects to have sufficient resources in the Israeli companies to fund its cash needs in Israel. An assessment of the tax that would have been payable had the Company’s foreign subsidiaries distributed their income to the Company is not practicable because of the multiple levels of corporate ownership and multiple tax jurisdictions involved in each hypothetical dividend distribution.
For a discussion of the uncertain tax positions, deferred tax and valuation allowance estimates see notes 1 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
From time to time, Teva and/or its subsidiaries are subject to claims for damages and/or equitable relief arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, in large part as a result of the nature of its business, Teva is frequently subject to litigation, governmental investigations and other legal proceedings. Except for income tax contingencies or contingent consideration acquired in a business combination, Teva records a provision in its consolidated financial statements to the extent that it concludes that a contingent liability is probable and the amount thereof is reasonably estimable. When accruing these costs, Teva will recognize an accrual in the amount within a range of loss that is the best estimate within the range. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, Teva accrues for the minimum amount within the range. Teva records anticipated recoveries under existing insurance contracts at the gross amount that is expected to be collected when they are considered probable to occur.
Teva reviews the adequacy of the accruals on a periodic basis and, although it believes that its present reserves are adequate, changes in facts and circumstances in the future may lead to adjustments to reserve estimates and could have a material impact on Teva’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in the period that reserve estimates are adjusted or paid. As such accruals are based on management’s judgment as to the probability of losses and, where applicable, actuarially determined estimates, accruals may materially differ from actual verdicts, settlements or other agreements made with regards to such contingencies. Litigation outcomes and contingencies are unpredictable and excessive verdicts can occur. Accordingly, management’s assessments involve complex judgments concerning future events and often rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company assesses changes in economic, regulatory and legal conditions and makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows in evaluating the value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment.
The Company periodically evaluates whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of these assets, or appropriate asset groupings, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company will estimate fair value using a discounted value of estimated future cash flows approach.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
General
The objective of our financial risk management measures is to minimize the impact of risks arising from foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. To reduce these risks, we take various operational measures in order to achieve a natural hedge and may enter, from time to time, into financial derivative instruments. Our derivative transactions are executed under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements with global banks under agreed terms and conditions that mitigate credit risk. We also believe that due to our diversified derivatives portfolio, the credit risk associated with any of these banks is minimal. No derivative instruments are entered into for trading purposes.
Exchange Rate Risk Management
We operate our business worldwide and, as such, we are subject to foreign exchange risks on our results of operations, our monetary assets and liabilities and our foreign subsidiaries’ net assets. For further information on currencies in which we operate, see “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Impact of Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations.”
We generally prefer to borrow in U.S. dollars or euros; however, from time to time we borrow funds in other currencies, such as the Swiss franc, in order to benefit from same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities.
Cash Flow Exposure
Our total revenues were $17,258 million in 2025. Of these revenues, approximately 43% were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, of which 20% in euros and the rest in other currencies, none of which accounted for more than 3% of total revenues in 2025. In most currencies, we recorded corresponding expenses.
In certain currencies, primarily the euro, our revenues generally exceed our expenses. Conversely, in other currencies, primarily the new Israeli shekel and the Indian rupee, our expenses generally exceed our revenues.
We enter into financial derivatives to hedge part of those currencies which do not have a sufficient natural hedge, in order to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operating results.
As of December 31, 2025, we hedged part of our expected operating results for 2026 in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the British pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Russian ruble, Polish złoty, Indian rupee and Israeli shekel.
In certain cases, we may hedge exposure arising from a specific transaction, executed in a currency other than the functional currency, by entering into forward contracts and/or by using plain-vanilla and exotic option strategies. We generally limit the term of hedging transactions to a maximum of eighteen months.
Balance Sheet Exposure
With respect to our monetary assets and liabilities, the exposure arises when the monetary assets and/or liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. We strive to limit our exposure through natural hedging. The remaining exposure is hedged almost in full by entering into financial derivative instruments. To the extent possible, the hedging activity is carried out on a consolidated level.
85
The table below presents exposures exceeding $50 million in absolute values:
Outstanding Foreign Exchange Hedging Transactions
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had outstanding derivatives, primarily forwards contracts, with a corresponding notional amount of approximately $3.35 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively.
The table below presents the net notional and fair values of the financial derivatives entered into as of December 31, 2025, in order to reduce currency exposure arising from our cash flow and balance sheet exposures. The table below presents only currency paired with hedged net notional values exceeding $50 million.

Foreign Subsidiaries Net Assets
Under certain market conditions, we may hedge against possible fluctuations in foreign subsidiaries’ net assets (“net investment hedge”). In these cases, we may use cross currency swaps and forward contracts.
86
Interest Rate Risk Management
We are subject to interest rate risk on our investments and on our borrowings. We manage interest rate risk in the aggregate, while focusing on our immediate and intermediate liquidity needs.
We raise capital through various debt instruments including senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes, and convertible debentures that bear fixed or variable interest rates, as well as a syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility and securitization programs that bear a variable interest rate. In some cases, we have swapped from a fixed to a variable interest rate (“fair value hedge”), from a variable to a fixed interest rate and from a fixed to a fixed interest rate with an exchange from a currency other than the functional currency (“cash flow hedge”), reducing overall interest expenses or hedging risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2025, all outstanding senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes and convertible debentures bear a fixed interest rate.
In certain cases, we may hedge, in whole or in part, against exposure arising from a specific transaction, such as debt issuances related to an acquisition or debt refinancing, by entering into forward and interest rate swap contracts and/or by using options.

| (1) | On May 2025, Teva entered into a $500 million notional amount of fixed to fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps relating to its 5.75% senior notes due 2030 to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk of future principal and interest payments associated with the USD denominated notes. The cross-currency swaps synthetically convert part of the USD debt into CHF, aligning debt servicing costs with Teva’s inflows and reducing economic volatility. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and the gain or loss on these swaps will be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in each period during which the swaps affect earnings in the same line item associated with the USD denominated bonds. |
| (2) | Teva uses foreign exchange contracts (mainly option and forward contracts) to hedge balance sheet items from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, Teva recognizes gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the balance sheet items also recorded under financial expenses, net. |
| (3) | Teva entered into option and forward contracts designed to limit the exposure of foreign exchange fluctuations on projected revenues and expenses recorded in euro, Swiss franc, British pound, Russian ruble, Canadian dollar, Polish złoty, new Israeli shekel, Indian rupee and some other currencies to protect its projected operating results for 2025 and 2026. These derivative instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, however, they are accounted for as an economic hedge. These derivative instruments, which may include hedging transactions of future projected revenues and expenses, are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value on a quarterly basis, while the foreign exchange impact on the underlying revenues and expenses may occur in subsequent quarters. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the same line item in the statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. Cash flows associated with these derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. |

Exhibit 10.23
Execution Version
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 17, 2025, is entered into by and between TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS USA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Teva USA”), and EVAN LIPPMAN (the “Executive”).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, Teva USA desires to employ the Executive and the Executive has indicated his willingness to provide his services to Teva USA on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, Teva USA and the Executive deem it to be in their mutual best interests to memorialize the terms of such employment in a formal agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, on the basis of the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of March 24, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
2. Term of Employment. Teva USA hereby agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts such employment with Teva USA, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The term of employment (the “Term of Employment”) hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the Termination Date, as defined in Section 7 below.
3. Position; Duties and Responsibilities; Place of Performance.
(a) The Executive will be appointed as Executive Vice President, Business Development, effective March 24, 2025. In such capacity, the Executive reports directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“TPI”, and collectively with Teva USA, the “Company”). In addition, the Executive has such additional executive duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to his by the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI. If the Executive is elected as a director or officer of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, the Executive shall serve in such capacity or capacities without additional compensation.
(b) During the Term of Employment the Executive’s principal place of employment will be at Teva USA’s headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey, USA. The Executive understands and agrees that it is expected that the Executive will be required to travel extensively (including internationally) in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive (i) shall not have authority to bind TPI or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and (ii) shall be subject to such further restrictions as to his activities on behalf of TPI or its non-U.S. subsidiaries as may be determined by TPI from time to time.
4. Exclusivity. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his full business time, attention, and efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term of Employment, including, without limitation, any activity that (a) conflicts with the interests of the Company or its affiliates, (b) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of his duties for the Company or (c) interferes with the exercise of his judgment in the Company’s or its affiliates’ best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude the Executive from: (i) serving, with the prior written consent of the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), as a member of the board of directors or advisory boards (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of non-competing businesses and charitable organizations; (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs; (iii) speaking at meetings of business, charitable and civic organizations; or (iv) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9 hereof, managing his personal investments and affairs; provided, however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be limited by the Executive so as not to be in contradiction to any Company policy and/or materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict.
5. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. For services rendered under this Agreement, Teva USA shall pay the Executive a salary at the rate of U.S. $680,000 per annum (such salary, or any adjusted salary granted to the Executive pursuant to this Section 5(a), the “Base Salary”). In addition, the Compensation Committee, with input from the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI, shall periodically consider whether to approve adjustments to the Executive’s Base Salary, according to the considerations specified in the shareholder-approved compensation policy of TPI in effect from time to time (the “Compensation Policy”) and subject to approval as required under applicable law and the Compensation Policy. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of Teva USA as the same shall exist from time to time.
(b) Sign-On Cash Payment. Executive shall be granted a cash payment of $700,000 (the “Sign-On Cash Payment”). The Sign-On Cash Payment shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination pursuant to Section 7(c) or Section 7(f) within two (2) years following the Effective Date, Executive shall repay to the Company the amount of the Sign-On Cash Payment that was paid to him.
(c) Annual Bonus. For each fiscal year that ends during the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual bonus under the Company’s annual cash bonus plan in accordance with the Compensation Policy (the “Annual Bonus”) and subject to the sole discretion of the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI, the Compensation Committee and the TPI Board, with a target amount equal to 100% of Executive’s Base Salary. If payable, the Annual Bonus shall be paid to the Executive at the same time as annual bonuses are generally payable to other similarly situated senior executives of the Company, subject to the Executive’s continuous employment through the payment date, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. For the sake of clarity, in the event of an increase in the Base Salary during a fiscal year, the Annual Bonus calculation (if any) for such fiscal year shall be made on a prorated

basis based on the relative portions of such fiscal year to which the original Base Salary and the increased Base Salary relate. The Annual Bonus shall not be prorated in respect of the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs, and Executive shall be eligible for a full year’s Annual Bonus in respect of such fiscal year under the Company’s 2025 Executive Officers Annual Bonus Plan.
(d) Equity Awards.
(i) Executive shall be granted a one-time award of Restrictive Share Units (“Sign-On RSUs”) with a total fair market value of U.S. $2,500,000 at Grant Date (as defined below), subject to (1) the Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company, (2) the terms of TPI’s 2020 Long Term Equity-Based Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) (including any applicable sub-plans and the terms of the award agreement), (3) the Executive’s acceptance of the award agreement, (4) the Compensation Policy, and (5) any applicable law. The number of Sign-On RSUs shall be determined according to the fair market value of the Sign-On RSUs on or about the Grant Date (as defined below), in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plan and the resolutions of the Compensation Committee and the Board, and based on Company practice. The Sign-on RSUs shall vest in the following installments: 50% on the first (1st), 25% on the second (2nd) and 25% on the third (3rd) anniversaries of the Grant Date. The Sign-On RSUs will be granted on the Effective Date (or, if the Company is subject to a blackout on the Effective Date, then seven (7) days after such blackout period ends) (the “Grant Date”).
(ii) Executive shall be granted a 2025 equity award which will include 2025 annual equity award which will be granted under the same terms and design as granted to the executive officers of the Company. The 2025 equity award will be granted on the Effective Date (or, if the Company is subject to a blackout on the Effective Date, then seven (7) days after such blackout period ends) (the “Grant Date”).
(iii) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be considered for equity-based compensation awards under the Equity Plan or any subsequent plan, at the sole discretion of the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI, the Compensation Committee and the TPI Board. Any such awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and the TPI Board.
(e) Benefits. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such benefit plans and programs as shall be provided to similarly situated executives of Teva USA, including medical insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, 401(k) plan, Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan and other benefit programs that may be adopted by Teva USA from time to time (but, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Teva USA’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Defined Contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan). Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the Company’s ability to amend, suspend, or terminate any employee benefit plan or policy at any time without providing the Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved.
3
(f) Vacation. During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be entitled to the same number of vacation days, holidays, sick days and other paid time off benefits as are generally allowed to other similarly situated executives of Teva USA in accordance with Teva USA’s policy as in effect from time to time. Teva USA’s expectation is that the Executive will take a reasonable amount of vacation (not to exceed five (5) weeks per year). Because there are no set vacation allocations, the Executive acknowledges that, in accordance with Teva USA’s policy, the Company will not make any payment for unused vacation time in connection with a termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason.
(g) Domestic Relocation.
(i) General. During a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date, the Executive will be entitled to a one (1) time domestic relocation support if the Executive chooses to move to an area within reasonable commuting distance of Teva USA’s corporate headquarters in Parsippany, NJ, USA. The terms of the domestic relocation support will be in accordance with the Company’s U.S. Domestic Relocation Policy (the “Relocation Policy”).
(ii) Changes to Relocation Policy. The Executive acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Relocation Policy does not form part of this Agreement and the Company reserves the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the Relocation Policy at any time without providing the Executive notice, and the right to do so is expressly reserved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the Relocation Policy and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
(iii) Repayment of Relocation Expenses. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event of termination pursuant to Section 7(c) or Section 7(f) within two (2) years following the initiation of the domestic relocation benefits, Executive shall repay to the Company a prorated portion of the relocation expenses that were paid by the Company pursuant to Section 5(g)(i) for the period in which he will not be employed by the Company.
6. Ordinary Business Expenses. During the Term of Employment, Teva USA shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the business of the Company and in the performance of his duties under this Agreement, including expenses for travel, lodging and similar items, all in accordance with Teva USA’s expense reimbursement policy, as the same may be modified from time to time. Teva USA shall reimburse all such proper expenses upon the Executive’s presentation to Teva USA of an itemized accounting of such expenses with reasonable supporting data.
(a) Executive shall not be eligible for reimbursement for travel expenses (air, land or accommodations) related to his commute between his residence and Parsippany, NJ.

(a) General. The Term of Employment shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Executive’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability (as defined below), (iii) a termination by Teva USA with or without Cause (as defined below) and (iv) a termination by the Executive with or without Good Reason (as defined below). The date on which employee-employer relations cease to exist between the parties (including as a result of acceleration of such cessation due to a waiver by the Company of Executive’s services during the relevant Notice Period (as
4
defined below) and payment to the Executive of the entire amount the Executive is entitled to in respect of such Notice Period) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Termination Date”. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Executive shall be employed by any other member of the Teva Group following a termination of employment by Teva USA, such termination by Teva USA shall not be deemed termination of employment of the Executive. Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Teva Group for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by the Executive, the Executive shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships or any other positions the Executive holds with any member of the Teva Group.
(b) Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. Teva USA may terminate the Executive’s employment immediately after the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon the Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, the Executive or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to (i) all accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; (ii) any unpaid or unreimbursed expenses incurred in accordance with Teva USA policy, including amounts due under Section 6 hereof to the extent incurred prior to the Termination Date; (iii) any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to applicable law, if any; and (iv) accrued and/or vested benefits under any plan or agreement covering the Executive which shall be governed by the terms of such plan or agreement (items (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).
For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean any physical or mental disability or infirmity that renders the Executive incapable of performing his usual and customary duties as set forth herein for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period. Any question as to the existence or extent of the Executive’s Disability upon which the Executive and Teva USA cannot agree shall be determined by a qualified, independent physician selected by Teva USA and approved by the Executive or the Executive’s representatives (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The determination of any such physician shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.
Except as set forth in this Section 7(b), following the Executive’s termination by reason of his death or Disability, the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
(c) Termination by Teva USA for Cause. In the event of Cause, Teva USA may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause as described in this Section 7(c). In the event Teva USA terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to (A) all accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date; and (B) any unpaid or unreimbursed expenses incurred in accordance with Teva USA policy, including amounts due under Section 6 hereof to the extent incurred prior to the Termination Date. Following a termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 7(c), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits.
5
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (A) the Executive’s indictment for, conviction of or pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to, (i) a felony or (ii) any crime involving moral turpitude; (B) the Executive’s embezzlement, dishonesty, misappropriation of Company property, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud with regard to the Company or any of its assets or businesses; (C) the Executive’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Executive’s duties or continual failure to perform the material duties of his position; (D) the Executive’s material violation of a Company rule or regulation; or (E) the Executive’s breach of a material provision of this Agreement.
(d) Termination by Teva USA without Cause. Teva USA may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time without Cause, effective three (3) months following the Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination (in this Section 7(d), the “Notice Period”). Teva USA may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice, waive the services of the Executive during the Notice Period or in respect of any part of such period, and at Teva USA’s sole discretion accelerate the effective date of such termination of employee-employer relationship (such accelerated date shall constitute the Termination Date), all on the condition that Teva USA pay the Executive the monthly Base Salary and all additional compensation and benefits to which the Executive is entitled in respect of the Notice Period without regard to any such Teva USA waiver.
In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated by Teva USA without Cause (other than by reason of his death or Disability), the Executive shall be entitled to:
(i) the Accrued Obligations;
(ii) a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to nine (9) months of the Executive’s then-current Base Salary, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date;
(iii) an amount equal to nine (9) months of the Executive’s then-current Base Salary in consideration for the Executive’s undertaking set forth in Section 9(e) below and subject to the Executive’s compliance therewith, such amount to be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the payroll practices of Teva USA during the nine (9) month period commencing on the Termination Date; and
(iv) a lump sum cash payment payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date in an amount equal to (A) the monthly COBRA premium cost for the Executive and the Executive’s covered dependents under Teva USA’s group health plan as of the date of such termination, multiplied by (B) eighteen (18).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without derogating from any other remedy available to the Company, (A) the payments and benefits described in subsections (ii) through (iv) above shall immediately cease, (B) the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive with respect thereto and (C) the Executive shall promptly repay to Teva USA any payments or benefits paid or provided to the Executive pursuant to subsections (ii) through (iv) above, in the event that the Executive breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof.
Following a termination of the Executive’s employment by Teva USA without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 7(d), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
6
(e) Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason and receive severance compensation upon such termination as described in this Section 7(e).
(i) The Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason by providing Teva USA three (3) months’ written notice setting forth with reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to Teva USA within ninety (90) days following the occurrence of such event. During such three (3) month notice period, Teva USA shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, the Executive’s termination will be effective upon the date immediately following the expiration of the three (3) month notice period.
(ii) In the event of the Executive’s termination for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and other benefits as provided in Section 7(d)(i) through (d)(iv) above for a termination without Cause, it being agreed that the Executive’s right to any such payments shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as described in Section 7(d) above, including, without limitation, the forfeiture of the Executive’s right to the payments and benefits described in subsections (d)(ii) through (iv) thereof, and the Executive’s obligation to promptly repay such amounts, in the event that the Executive breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof. Following a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive for Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 7(e), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the Company’s breach of a material provision of this Agreement, (B) a material diminution in the Executive’s duties or responsibilities that is inconsistent with the Executive’s position as described herein, or (C) a material reduction by Teva USA in the Executive’s rate of annual Base Salary.
(f) Termination by the Executive without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing Teva USA three (3) months’ written notice of such termination (in this Section 7(f), the “Notice Period”). In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive without Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations.
In the event of the termination of the Executive’s employment under this Section 7(f), Teva USA may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice, waive the services of the Executive during the Notice Period or in respect of any part of such period, and at Teva USA’s sole discretion accelerate the effective date of such termination of employee-employer relationship (such accelerated date shall constitute the Termination Date) and still have it treated as a termination without Good Reason.
Following a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 7(f), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.
7
(g) Change in Control. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 7, during the one (1) year period following a Change in Control event (as defined in the Compensation Policy as in effect on the date hereof), and such termination is a result of such Change in Control event, then, in addition to any payments or other benefits to which the Executive is entitled pursuant to Section 7(d), the Executive shall also be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to $1,500,000, payable on the next regular payroll date immediately following the sixtieth (60th) day after the Termination Date.
(h) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection (b), (d), (e) or (g) of this Section 7 (other than the Accrued Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon the Executive’s execution, delivery to Teva USA, and non-revocation of a release of claims in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, as the same may be revised from time to time by Teva USA upon the advice of counsel (the “Release of Claims”) (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in the Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date. If the Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day period, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, the Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Further, to the extent that any portion of the Severance Benefits constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and all applicable regulations and guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), any payment of any amount or provision of any benefit otherwise scheduled to occur prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of the Executive’s termination of employment hereunder, but for the condition that the Executive execute the Release of Claims as set forth herein, shall not be made until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following such sixtieth (60th) day (subject to any additional delay as may be required under Section 11(a) of this Agreement), after which any remaining Severance Benefits shall thereafter be provided to the Executive according to the applicable schedule set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Executive’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the Release of Claims may be satisfied on his behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his affairs.
(i) Compliance with Covenants. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, and without derogating from any other remedy available to the Company, in the event that the Executive breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof, (A) payment or provision of the Severance Benefits shall immediately cease (without prejudice to any other remedies available to the Company hereunder and/or pursuant to applicable law), (B) the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive with respect to payment or provision of the Severance Benefits and (C) the Executive shall promptly repay to the Company any Severance Benefits paid or provided to the Executive pursuant to this Section 7 prior to the date of such breach.
(j) Return of Property. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment, or earlier if required by the Company, the Executive shall promptly return to Teva USA any cell phone, laptop or other hand-held device provided to the Executive, and any confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates that remains in the Executive’s possession; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall prevent the Executive from retaining and utilizing documents relating to his personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; documents relating to his personal tax obligations; his desk calendar, personal contact list, and the like; and such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
8
8. Representations. The Executive hereby represents to the Company that (a) he is legally entitled to enter into this Agreement and to perform the services contemplated herein and is not bound under any employment, consulting or other agreement to render services to any third party, (b) he has the full right, power and authority, subject to no rights of third parties, to grant to the Company the rights contemplated by Section 9(b) hereof, and (c) he does not now have, nor within the last three (3) years has he had, any ownership interest in any business enterprise (other than interests in publicly traded corporations where his ownership does not exceed one percent (1%) or more of the equity capital) which is a customer of the Teva Group (as defined below), or from which the Teva Group purchases any goods or services or to whom such corporations owe any financial obligations or are required or directed to make any payments.
9. Executive’s Covenants.
(a) Disclosure of Information. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the trade secrets, know-how and proprietary information and processes of TPI, Teva USA and their subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Teva Group”), as they may exist from time to time, are valuable, special and unique assets of the business of the Teva Group, access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder. The Executive will not, during or at any time following the Term of Employment, in whole or in part, disclose such secrets, know-how or processes to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall the Executive make use of any such secrets, know-how or processes for his own purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity (except for a member of the Teva Group) under any circumstances during or after the Term of Employment; provided, that, after the termination of his employment, these restrictions shall not apply to such secrets, know-how and processes which are then in the public domain (provided that the Executive was not responsible, directly or indirectly, for such secrets, know-how or processes entering the public domain without the Company’s consent). In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Executive from reporting possible violations of federal or state law or regulation to any governmental agency or regulatory body or making other disclosures that are protected under any whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation, or from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any governmental agency or regulatory body.
(b) DTSA Disclosure. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual: (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (B) does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.
9
(c) Inventions. Without additional compensation, the Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company, or to any person or entity designated by the Company, all of the entire right, title and interest of the Executive in, and to, all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly, during the Term of Employment, which relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices, sold, leased, used or under consideration or development by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or which otherwise relate to or pertain to the business, functions or operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or which arise from the efforts of the Executive during the course of his employment for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The Executive shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining to the aforementioned inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements. The Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be necessary or required of the Executive to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file and prosecute the patent applications and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereof. Any invention relating to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates made by the Executive within one (1) year following the termination of the Term of Employment shall be deemed to fall within the provisions of this paragraph unless proved to have been first conceived and made following such termination.
(d) Covenant Not to Interfere. During the Term of Employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, any person employed by, or as agent of, the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate such person’s contract of employment or agency, as the case may be, with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) divert, or attempt to divert, any person, concern or entity from doing business with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or attempt to induce any such person, concern or entity to cease being a customer or supplier of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.
(e) Covenant Not to Compete. By signing this Agreement, the Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in his capacity as Executive Vice President, Business Development, the Executive will have a great deal of exposure and access to a broad variety of commercially valuable proprietary information of the Teva Group, including, by way of illustration, confidential information regarding the Teva Group’s current and future products and strategies, costs and other financial information, R&D and marketing plans and strategies, etc. As a result of the Executive’s knowledge of the above information and in consideration for the benefits offered by the Company under this Agreement, the Executive affirms and recognizes his continuing obligations with respect to the use and disclosure of confidential and proprietary information of the Teva Group pursuant to the Teva Group’s policies and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and hereby agrees that, during the Term of Employment and for a period of nine (9) months following the Termination Date (to the extent such restriction does not violate any statute or public policy), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as an officer, director, owner, employee, partner, consultant or other direct or indirect service provider) perform any services for a company which division, subsidiary or product group is engaged in development, manufacture of, sale of or trading
10
in (i) generic products or (ii) specialty pharmaceutical products (including but not limited to biopharmaceutical products) that are competitive with a product developed, manufactured, sold or otherwise traded in by the Company as of the date of such termination of employment, where the determination of whether a certain product constitutes competition to a product manufactured, sold or otherwise traded in by the Teva Group shall be reasonably determined on an ad-hoc basis at the relevant time by the President and Chief Executive Officer of TPI.
(f) Non-Disparagement. During the Term of Employment and at all times thereafter, the Executive agrees not to (i) make any disparaging or defamatory comments regarding any member of the Teva Group or any of its current or former directors, officers, employees or products or (ii) make any negative or disparaging comments concerning any aspect of the Executive’s relationship with any member of the Teva Group or any conduct or events relating to any termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
(g) Cooperation. During the Term of Employment and at all times thereafter, the Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in connection with any matter related to the period he was employed by Teva USA and/or his services to other members of the Teva Group, including but not limited to any threatened, pending, and/or subsequent litigation, government investigation, or other formal inquiry against ant member of the Teva Group, and shall make himself available upon notice to prepare for and appear at deposition, hearing, arbitration, mediation, or trial in connection with any such matters. Such cooperation will include willingness to be interviewed by representatives of the Company and to participate in legal proceedings by deposition or testimony.
(h) Blue Pencil. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 9 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision or clause of this Section 9 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable or overly broad in scope, time or geographic region, then such provision or clause shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable or to reduce or narrow down the portion thus adjudicated to be too broad in scope, time or geographic region, such deletion, reduction or narrowing down to apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 9 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.
(i) Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Teva USA entered into this Agreement in reliance on the provisions of this Section 9 and the enforcement of this Section 9 is necessary to ensure the preservation, protection and continuity of the goodwill of the Teva Group’s business and confidential information. Executive agrees that, due to the nature of the business of the Teva Group, the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 are reasonable as to time, geography and scope. Executive agrees that the Teva Group would suffer irreparable harm and continuing damage for which money damages would be insufficient if Executive were to breach, or threaten to breach, this Section 9. Executive furthermore agrees that the Teva Group would by reason of such breach, or threatened breach, be entitled to injunctive, a decree for specific performance, other equitable relief in aid of arbitration in a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and all other relief as may be proper (including money damages if appropriate), to the extent permitted by law, without the need to post any bond. Executive further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting Executive from breaching the terms of this Section
11
9. This section shall not, however, diminish the right of the Teva Group to claim and recover damages and other appropriate relief in addition to injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a breach of any covenant by Executive, the duration of any restriction breached shall be extended for a period equal to any time period that Executive was in violation of such covenant.
(j) Further Representations and Covenants. In signing this Agreement, Executive gives the Teva Group assurance that Executive has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Section 9. Executive agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Teva Group and its confidential information and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent Executive from obtaining other suitable employment during the period in which Executive is bound by the restraints. Executive agrees that, before providing services to any entity during the period of time that Executive is subject to the constraints in this Section 9, Executive will provide a copy of this Section 9 to such entity, and Executive shall ensure that such entity acknowledge to the Company in writing that it has read this Section 9. Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Teva Group, and that Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. Executive further covenants that Executive will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9, and that Executive will reimburse the Teva Group for all costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 9 if either the Teva Group prevails on any material issue involved in such dispute or if Executive challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Section 9. It is also agreed that each member of the Teva Group will have the right to enforce all of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.
10. Insurance. The Company may, at its election and for its benefit, insure the Executive against death, and the Executive shall submit to such physical examination and supply such information as may be reasonably required in connection therewith.
11. Additional Section 409A Provisions. All payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be made and provided in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A, to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:
(a) The payment (or commencement of a series of payments) hereunder of any “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) upon a termination of employment shall be delayed until such time as the Executive has also undergone a “separation from service” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), at which time such “nonqualified deferred compensation” (calculated as of the Termination Date) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to the Executive on the schedule set forth in this Agreement as if the Executive had undergone such termination of employment (under the same circumstances) on the date of his ultimate “separation from service.” Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to the Executive at any date as a result of the termination of the Executive’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Delay Period”) in the event that the Executive is deemed at the time of his “separation from service” to be a “specified employee” (in each case, within the meaning of
12
Section 409A) and if such delay is otherwise required to avoid additional tax under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. In such event, on the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period, the Executive shall be paid, in a single lump sum cash payment, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein.
(b) Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.
(c) To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by Teva USA no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by the Executive, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period during which the arrangement is in effect.
(d) While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for (i) any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Executive as a result of Section 409A or (ii) any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A).

Exhibit B
Indemnification and Release Agreement
This Indemnification and Release Agreement (this “Indemnification Agreement”) is being entered into, pursuant to the resolutions of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), dated July 31, 2012 and the resolutions of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board, and the Audit Committee of the Board, each dated July 30, 2012.
It is in the best interest of the Company to retain and attract as office holders the most capable persons available and such persons are becoming increasingly reluctant to serve in companies unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance, exemption and indemnification in connection with such service.
You are or have been appointed as an office holder of the Company, and in order to enhance your service to the Company in an effective manner, the Company desires to provide for your indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”). In consideration of your service to the Company, the Company hereby agrees as follows:
1. The Company hereby undertakes to indemnify you to the maximum extent permitted by the Articles of Association and the Israeli Companies Law, 5759 – 1999, as amended from time to time (the “Companies Law”), the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Law”) and any other applicable law, in respect of the following expenses or liabilities imposed on, or incurred by, you in consequence of any act performed or omission committed by you in your capacity as an “Office Holder” (such term shall bear the meaning assigned to it in the Companies Law) of the Company (including your service, at the request of the Company, as an officer, director, employee or board observer of any other company controlled directly or indirectly by the Company (a “Subsidiary”) or in which the Company holds shares (an “Affiliate”)).
1.1 any monetary liability imposed on you in favor of another person by a court judgment, including a settlement or an arbitrator’s award which was approved by court;
1.2 reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually incurred by you in connection with an investigation or proceeding that was conducted against you by a competent authority which has been Terminated Without the Filing of an Indictment (as such term is defined in the Companies Law) against you and without the Imposition on you of a Monetary Liability In Lieu of a Criminal Proceeding (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), or which has been Terminated Without the Filing of an Indictment against you but with the Imposition on you of a Monetary Liability in Lieu of a Criminal Proceeding in respect of a crime which does not require the proof of mens rea (criminal intent) or in connection with a monetary sanction;
1.3 reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually incurred by you or charged to you by a court, in a proceeding instituted against you by the Company or on its behalf or by another person, or in any criminal proceeding in which you were acquitted, or in any criminal proceedings in which you were convicted of a crime which does not require the proof of mens rea (criminal intent); and
20
1.4 payment which you are obligated to make to an injured party as set forth in Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) of the Securities Law, and expenses actually incurred by you in connection with a proceeding under Chapters H’3, H’4, or I’1 of the Securities Law, including reasonable legal expenses, which term includes attorneys’ fees or in connection with Article D of Chapter Four of Part Nine of the Companies Law.
For the purpose of this Indemnification Agreement, “expenses” shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations paid or incurred by you in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any claim relating to any matter for which indemnification hereunder may be provided, and expenses paid or incurred by you in successfully enforcing this Indemnification Agreement. Expenses shall be considered paid or incurred by you at such time as you are required to pay or incur such cost or expenses, including upon receipt of an invoice or payment demand.
2. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of Section 1, except to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will not indemnify you for any amount you may be obligated to pay in respect of:
2.1 A breach of your duty of loyalty to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, unless committed in good faith and with reasonable grounds to believe that such act would not prejudice the interests of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate;
2.2 A breach of your duty of care to the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate committed intentionally or recklessly;
2.4 An action or omission taken by you with the intent of unlawfully realizing personal gain;
2.5 A fine, monetary sanction, forfeit or penalty imposed upon you; or
2.6 With respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by you against the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, other than by way of defense, by way of third party notice to the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, or by way of countersuit in connection with claims brought against you.
3. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, following receipt by the Company of your written request therefor, make available all amounts payable to you in accordance with Section 1 above on the date on which such amounts are first payable by you (“Time of Indebtedness”), and with respect to items referred to in Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 above, even prior to the time on which the applicable court renders its decision, provided however, that advances given to cover legal expenses will be repaid by you to the Company if it is determined that you are not lawfully entitled to such indemnification.
As part of the aforementioned undertaking, the Company will make available to you any security or guarantee that you may be required to post in accordance with an interim decision given by a court or an arbitrator, including for the purpose of substituting liens imposed on your assets.
21
4. The Company will indemnify you and advance expenses in accordance with this Indemnification Agreement even if at the relevant Time of Indebtedness you are no longer an Office Holder of the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, provided that the obligations with respect to which you will be indemnified hereunder are in respect of actions taken or omissions committed by you while you were an Office Holder of the Company or such Subsidiary or such Affiliate as aforesaid, and in such capacity.
5. The undertaking of the Company set forth in Section 1.1 shall be limited as follows:
5.1 to matters that are connected or otherwise related to those events or circumstances set forth in Schedule A hereto.
5.2 the maximum amount for which the Company undertakes to indemnify you for the matters and circumstances described in Section 1.1, jointly and in the aggregate, shall not exceed US$ 200 million according to the representative rate of exchange, or any other official rate of exchange that may replace it, at the Time of Indebtedness calculated with respect to each Office Holder of the Company. Such amount has been determined by the Board to be reasonable under the circumstances.
6. Subject to the limitations of Section 5 above and Section 7 below, the indemnification hereunder will, in each case, cover all sums of money that you will be obligated to pay, in those circumstances for which indemnification is permitted under the law, the Articles of Association and under this Indemnification Agreement.
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not indemnify you for any liability with respect to which you have received payment by virtue of an insurance policy or another indemnification agreement, including, without limitation, an indemnification undertaking provided by a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, other than for amounts which are in excess of the amounts actually paid to you pursuant to any such insurance policy or other indemnity agreement (including deductible amounts not covered by insurance policies), all within the limits set forth in Section 5 above. In order to eliminate any duplication of benefits, the Company will be entitled to receive any amount collected by you from a third party in connection with liabilities actually indemnified hereunder, up to the amount actually paid to you by the Company as indemnification hereunder, to be transferred by you to the Company within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of the said amount.
In the event of payment by the Company pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of your rights of recovery, and you shall execute all documents required, and shall do everything that may be necessary, to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
22
8. In all indemnifiable circumstances, indemnification will be subject to the following:
8.1 You shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any legal proceedings initiated against you and of all possible or threatened legal proceedings for which you may seek indemnification hereunder, without delay, and in any event within seven (7) days following your first becoming aware thereof, provided, however, that your failure to notify the Company as aforesaid shall not derogate from your right to be indemnified as provided herein except and to the extent that such failure to provide notice prejudices the Company’s ability to defend against such action or to conduct any related legal proceeding. You shall deliver to the Company, or to such person as it shall advise you, without delay all documents you receive in connection with these proceedings or possible or threatened proceedings. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chairman of the Board, and in the event you are the Chairman of the Board, to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, at the address of the Company’s principal office (or at such other address as the Company shall advise you).
8.2 Other than with respect to proceedings that have been initiated against you by the Company or in its name, the Company shall be entitled to undertake the conduct of your defense in respect of such legal proceedings and/or to hand over the conduct thereof to any attorney which the Company may choose for that purpose, except to an attorney who is not, upon reasonable grounds, acceptable to you. In such case, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall notify you of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such proceeding.
The Company or the attorney as aforesaid shall be entitled, within the context of the conduct as aforesaid, to conclude such proceedings, all as they shall see fit, including by way of settlement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Company or the attorneys as aforesaid will not have the right to plead guilty in your name or to agree to a plea-bargain in your name without your consent. Furthermore, in a civil proceeding (whether before a court or as a part of a compromise arrangement), the Company and/or its attorneys will not have the right to admit to any occurrences that are not indemnifiable pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement and/or pursuant to law, without your consent. However, the aforesaid will not prevent the Company or its attorneys as aforesaid, with the approval of the Company, to come to a financial arrangement with a plaintiff in a civil proceeding or to consent to the entry of any judgment against you or enter into any settlement, arrangement or compromise, in each case without your consent, so long as such arrangement, judgment, settlement or compromise: (i) does not include an admission of your fault, (ii) is fully indemnifiable pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement and pursuant to law and (iii) further provides, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of you from all liability in respect of such proceeding. This paragraph shall not apply to a proceeding brought by you under Section 8.7 below.
8.3 You will fully cooperate with the Company and/or any attorney as aforesaid in every reasonable way as may be required of you within the context of their conduct of such legal proceedings, including but not limited to the execution of power(s) of attorney and other documents required to enable the Company or its attorney as aforesaid to conduct your defense in your name, and to represent you in all matters connected therewith, in accordance with the aforesaid and will give the Company all information and access to documents, files and your advisors and representatives as shall be within your power, in every reasonable way as may be required by the Company with respect to any such legal proceedings, provided that the Company shall cover all reasonable costs incidental thereto such that you will not be required to pay the same or to finance the same yourself, and provided, further, that you shall not be required to take any action that would reasonably prejudice your defense in connection with any indemnifiable proceeding.
23
8.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 above, (i) if in a proceeding to which you are a party by reason of your status as an Office Holder of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the named parties to any such proceeding include both you and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, and joint representation is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest (including the availability to the Company and its Subsidiary or Affiliate, on the one hand, and you, on the other hand, of different or inconsistent defenses or counterclaims) that exists between you and the Company, or (ii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner, or (iii) if the Company refers the conduct of your defense to an attorney who is not, upon reasonable grounds, acceptable to you, you shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel, which may represent other persons similarly situated, of the Company’s choice and reasonably acceptable to you and such other persons, at the sole expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its material obligations under this Indemnification Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Indemnification Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit or proceeding to deny or to recover from you the benefits intended to be provided to you hereunder, except with respect to such actions, suits or proceedings brought by the Company that are resolved in favor of the Company, you shall have the right to retain counsel of your choice, reasonably acceptable to the Company and at the expense of the Company, to represent you in connection with any such matter.
8.5 If, in accordance with Section 8.2 (but subject to Section 8.4), the Company has taken upon itself the conduct of your defense, you shall have the right to employ counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding, who shall fully update, and be fully updated by, the Company on the defense procedure and shall consult with, and be consulted with by, the Company and the attorney conducting the legal defense on behalf of the Company, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, incurred after the assumption by the Company of the defense thereof, shall be at your expense and the Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement or the above resolutions to indemnify you for any legal expenses, including any legal fees, that you may incur in connection with your defense, unless the Company shall agree to such expenses; in which event all reasonable fees and expenses of your counsel shall be borne by the Company to the extent so agreed to by the Company.
8.6 The Company will have no liability or obligation pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement to indemnify you for any amount expended by you pursuant to any compromise or settlement agreement reached in any suit, demand or other proceeding as aforesaid without the Company’s consent to such compromise or settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8.7 The Board and/or applicable committee(s) thereof and/or any other person(s) authorized by the Board will consider the request for indemnification and the amount thereof and will determine if you are entitled to indemnification and the amount thereof. In the event that you make a request for payment of an amount of indemnification hereunder or a request for an advancement of indemnification expenses hereunder and the Company fails to timely determine your right to indemnification hereunder or fails to timely make such payment or advancement in whole or in part, you may request that a determination with respect to your entitlement thereto
24
shall be made in the specific case by an Independent Counsel agreed upon by the Company and you, and in the absence of such agreement, appointed by the head of the Israeli Bar Association. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Indemnification Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto, provided, however, that you shall reimburse the Company for any such fees, expenses, claims, liabilities and damages in the event the matter is resolved in favor of the Company. “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of Israeli corporate law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company, an “interested party” (as defined in the Companies Law) of the Company or you in any matter material to either such party (other than in the capacity of Independent Counsel with respect to this Indemnification Agreement or similar indemnification agreements of the Company), or (ii) any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or you in an action to determine your rights under this Indemnification Agreement.
8.8 Neither the Company nor any of its agents, employees, directors or officers shall make any statement to the public or to any other person regarding any settlement of claims made pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement against you that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against you.
8.9 By signing this Indemnification Agreement you hereby accept that you shall not make any statement to the public or to any other person regarding any settlement of claims made pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement against you or the Company that would in any manner cast any negative light, inference or aspersion against the Company, and that you will keep the terms of such settlement confidential.
9. The Company hereby exempts you, to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Articles of Association, from any liability for damages caused as a result of a breach of your duty of care to the Company, provided that in no event shall you be exempt with respect to any actions listed in Section 2 above or for a breach of your duty of care in connection with a Distribution (as defined in the Companies Law).
10. Subject to Section 20 below, if any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required for the validation of any of the undertakings in this Indemnification Agreement, the Company undertakes to cause them to be done or adopted in a manner which will enable the Company to fulfill all its undertakings as aforesaid.
11. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Articles of Association (as stated above), nothing contained in this Indemnification Agreement shall derogate from the Company’s right (but in no way shall the Company be obligated) to indemnify you post factum for any amounts which you may be obligated to pay as set forth in Section 1 above without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 5 above. Your rights of indemnification hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights you may have under the Articles of Association or applicable law or otherwise.
25
12. If any undertaking included in this Indemnification Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any of the other undertakings which will remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, if such invalid or unenforceable undertaking may be modified or amended so as to be valid and enforceable as a matter of law, such undertaking will be deemed to have been modified or amended, and any competent court or arbitrator is hereby authorized to modify or amend such undertaking, so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
13. This Indemnification Agreement and the agreements herein shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to the rules of conflict of laws, and any dispute arising from or in connection with this Indemnification Agreement is hereby submitted to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Tel Aviv, Israel.
14. This Indemnification Agreement cancels and replaces any preceding letter of indemnification or arrangement for indemnification that may have been issued to you by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligation set forth in this Indemnification Agreement will also apply, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Indemnification Agreement, with respect to actions performed, or omissions committed, in your capacity as an Office Holder of the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, during the period prior to the date of this Indemnification Agreement.
15. Neither the settlement nor termination of any proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption that you are not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment or order (unless such judgment or order provides so specifically) or settlement shall not create a presumption that you did not act in good faith and in a manner which you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that you had reasonable cause to believe that your action was unlawful.
16. This Indemnification Agreement shall be (a) binding upon all successors and assigns of the Company (including any transferee of all or a substantial portion of the business, stock and/or assets of the Company and any direct or indirect successor by merger or consolidation or otherwise by operation of law), and (b) binding on and shall inure to the benefit of your heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators. This Indemnification Agreement shall continue for your benefit and your heirs’, personal representatives’, executors’ and administrators’ benefit after you cease to be an Office Holder of the Company.
17. The obligations of the Company according to this Indemnification Agreement shall be interpreted broadly and in a manner that shall facilitate its execution, to the extent permitted by law, and for the purposes for which it was intended. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Indemnification Agreement and any provision of the law which cannot be conditioned upon, changed or added to, the said provision of the law shall supersede the specific provision in this Indemnification Agreement, but shall not limit or diminish the validity of the remaining provisions of this Indemnification Agreement.
26
18. Subject to Section 20 below, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and exempt you to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification or exemption is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Indemnification Agreement. In the event of any change after the date of this Indemnification Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of an Israeli company to indemnify Office Holders, it is the intent of the parties hereto that you shall enjoy by this Indemnification Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change and such changes shall to the extent permitted by applicable law be, ipso facto, within the purview of your rights and the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Indemnification Agreement.
19. Subject to Section 5 above and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, in the event of any change in the Articles of Association after the date of this Indemnification Agreement which narrows the Company’s right to indemnify you under this Agreement, such change shall apply only with respect to actions performed, or omissions committed, by you in your capacity as an Office Holder of the Company, of a Subsidiary or of an Affiliate, after the date of such change, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
20. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Indemnification Agreement shall require or obligate the Company to amend its Articles of Association, or take any action with respect thereto.
21. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Indemnification Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Indemnification Agreement (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Any waiver shall be in writing.
22. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Indemnification Agreement shall be in writing, shall be effective (i) if mailed, three (3) business days after mailing (unless mailed abroad, in which case it shall be effective five (5) business days after mailing), (ii) if by air courier, two (2) business days after delivery to the courier service, (iii) if sent by messenger, upon delivery, (iv) if sent via facsimile, upon transmission and electronic (or other) confirmation of receipt or (if transmitted and received on a non-business day) on the first business day following transmission and electronic (or other) confirmation of receipt and (iv) if sent by email, on the date of transmission or (if transmitted and received on a non-business day) on the first business day following transmission, except where a notice is received stating that such mail has not been successfully delivered.
23. This Indemnification Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether you continue to serve as an Office Holder of the Company.
24. This Indemnification Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterpart, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument; it being understood that parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of an executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Indemnification Agreement, as an original.
The Board has determined, based on the current activity of the Company, that the amount stated in Section 5 is reasonable under the circumstances, and that those events and circumstances specified in Schedule A are foreseeable in light of the Company’s activities as of the date hereof.
