Mr. Richard Francis, Teva’s President and CEO, commenting on the war in Israel, said: “Following the terror attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, Teva’s Board, leadership team, and I have made the safety of our Israeli employees our utmost priority. As a company with deep roots in Israel, we are humbled by the incredible resilience, care and resolve being shown in delivering our medicines to the millions of patients around the world who count on us. Currently, our production remains largely unaffected, and we have increased our emergency medical supplies, product donations and other supporting activities.”

Commenting on Teva’s results for the third quarter of 2023, Mr. Francis said: “In Q3 2023, Teva delivered strong financial and business results, with revenues increasing by 7% compared to Q3 2022, to a total of $3.9 billion. Continued solid performance of AUSTEDO, AJOVY and our generics business delivered growth across all geographies. Based on these strong and consistent results, we are increasing our revenue outlook for 2023 for the second consecutive quarter.”

Mr. Francis continued, “Over the six months since our Pivot to Growth strategy was launched, we made significant progress in executing on all four pillars, as well as realizing our goal of becoming a stronger, bolder and simpler organization. Last month, we announced an exclusive collaboration with Sanofi for our promising Anti TL1-A asset, leveraging the innovative R&D and commercial expertise of both companies. We have accelerated our olanzapine LAI progress, with Phase 3 results now expected in the second half of 2024. In addition, we are on track to reach our 2023 growth targets through continued optimization of sales and marketing efforts. In our generics business, we are focusing our portfolio on high value complex products and optimizing our network. We are advancing toward Teva api becoming a stand-alone unit, and we are announcing the appointment of Dr. R. Ananthanarayanan (Ananth) as CEO of Teva api.”

Pivot to Growth Strategy

In May 2023, we introduced our new “Pivot to Growth” strategy, which is based on four key pillars: (i) delivering on our growth engines, mainly AUSTEDO, AJOVY, UZEDY^TM and our late-stage pipeline of biosimilars; (ii) stepping up innovation through delivering on our late-stage innovative pipeline assets as well as building up our early-stage pipeline organically and potentially through business development activities; (iii) sustaining our generics medicines powerhouse with a global commercial footprint, focused portfolio, pipeline and manufacturing footprint; and (iv) focusing our business by optimizing our portfolio and global manufacturing footprint to enable strategic capital deployment to accelerate our near and long-term growth engines and reorganizing certain of our business units to a more optimal structure, while also reorganizing key business units to enhance operational efficiency.

Third Quarter 2023 Consolidated Results

Revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were $3,850 million, an increase of 7% in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms compared to the third quarter of 2022. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues from generic products in all our segments, AUSTEDO in our North America segment and AJOVY in all our segments, partially offset by lower revenues from BENDEKA and TREANDA in our North America segment as well as from API sales to third parties.

Exchange rate movements during the third quarter of 2023, net of hedging effects, negatively impacted our revenues by $9 million, compared to the third quarter of 2022. Exchange rate movements during the third quarter of 2023, including hedging effects, negatively impacted our operating income and non-GAAP operating income by $53 million and $51 million, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2023 was $1,851 million, an increase of 11% compared to $1,669 million in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit margin was 48.1% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 46.4% in the third quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP gross profit was $2,060 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 8% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 53.5% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 53.0% in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in both gross profit margin and non-GAAP gross profit margin was mainly due to a favorable mix of products in our North America segment primarily driven by an increase in revenues from AUSTEDO, partially offset by higher costs due to inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $253 million, an increase of 44% compared to $175 million in the third quarter of 2022 as we continue to execute on our Pivot to Growth Strategy. Our higher R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2022, were mainly due to an increase related to our late-stage innovative pipeline in neuroscience (mainly neuropsychiatry), in immunology and immuno-oncology. In addition, in the third quarter of 2022 our R&D expenses were lower due to an adjustment in payments pursuant to a contract with one of our R&D partners.

Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $576 million, an increase of 7% compared to the third quarter of 2022.

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were $268 million, a decrease of 5% compared to the third quarter of 2022.

Other income in the third quarter of 2023 was $9 million, compared to $2 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was $355 million, compared to an operating income of $419 million in the third quarter of 2022. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 9.2% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 11.6% in the third quarter of 2022. The lower operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was mainly due to higher legal settlements and loss contingencies, higher R&D and S&M expenses in the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher gross profit in the third quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was $1,020 million representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 26.5% compared to non-GAAP operating income of $977 million representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 27.2% in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in non-GAAP operating margin in the third quarter of 2023 was mainly impacted by an increase in R&D expenses, partially offset by higher non-GAAP gross profit margin, as discussed above, as well as lower G&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1,134 million in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 4%, compared to $1,089 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Financial expenses, net in the third quarter of 2023 were $280, mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $247 million and a negative exchange rate impact driven mainly from currencies which we were unable to hedge. In the third quarter of 2022, financial expenses were $252 million, mainly comprised of net-interest expenses of $229 million.

In the third quarter of 2023, we recognized a tax benefit of $12 million, on a pre-tax income of $75 million. In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a tax expense of $107 million, on a pre-tax income of $166 million. Our tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was mainly affected by deferred tax benefits resulting from intellectual property related integration plans. Such integration plans have been adopted, among others, in an effort to address the global adoption of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two minimum effective corporate tax, commencing in 2024.

Non-GAAP tax rate in the third quarter of 2023 was 9%, compared to 10% in the third quarter of 2022. Our non-GAAP tax rate in the third quarter of 2023 was mainly affected by the generation of profits in various jurisdictions with different tax rates, tax benefits in Israel and other countries, deferred tax benefits resulting from intellectual property related integration plans, as well as infrequent or non-recurring items. Our non-GAAP tax rate in the third quarter of 2022 was mainly affected by the mix of products we sold, interest expense disallowances and adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

We expect our annual non-GAAP tax rate for 2023 to be between 12%-15%, higher than our non-GAAP tax rate for 2022, which was 12%, mainly due to the effect of a portion of the realization of losses related to an investment in one of our U.S. subsidiaries in 2022.

Net income attributable to Teva and diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2023 were $80 million and $0.07, respectively, compared to $56 million and $0.05, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. The higher net income in the third quarter of 2023 was mainly due to the tax benefit in 2023 and tax expense in 2022, partially offset by lower operating income, as discussed above. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2023 were $677 million and $0.60, respectively, compared to $658 million and $0.59, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022.

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,157 million and 1,144 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP information: net non-GAAP adjustments in the third quarter of 2023 were $598 million. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2023 were adjusted to exclude the following items:

• Amortization of purchased intangible assets of $145 million, of which $130 million is included in cost of sales and the remaining $15 million in S&M expenses;
• Impairment of long-lived assets of $48 million;
• Legal settlements and loss contingencies of $314 million;
• Contingent consideration expenses of $16 million;
• Equity compensation expenses of $31 million;
• Restructuring expenses of $27 million;
• Accelerated depreciation of $25 million;
• Financial expenses of $14 million;
• Costs related to regulatory actions taken in facilities of $1 million;
• Gain on sale of business of $5 million;
• Other non-GAAP items of $63 million;
• Items attributable to non-controlling interests of $1 million; and
• Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items of $80 million.

We believe that excluding such items facilitates investors’ understanding of our business including underlying performance trends, thereby improving the comparability of our business performance results between reporting periods.

For further information, see the tables below for a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures and the information under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash flow generated from operating activities during the third quarter of 2023 was $5 million, compared to $543 million in the third quarter of 2022. The lower cash flow generated in the third quarter of 2023 resulted mainly from changes in working capital items, including a negative impact from accounts receivables, net of SR&A, higher inventory levels, and higher legal payments, partially offset by a positive impact from accounts payables.

During the third quarter of 2023, we generated free cash flow of $229 million, which we define as comprising $5 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $362 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $10 million in proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $149 million in cash used for capital investment. During the third quarter of 2022, we generated free cash flow of $685 million, which we define as comprising $543 million in cash flow generated from operating activities, $262 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and $2 million in proceeds from divestitures of businesses and other assets, partially offset by $122 million in cash used for capital investment. The decrease in the third quarter of 2023, resulted mainly from lower cash flow generated from operating activities as explained above.

As of September 30, 2023, our debt was $19,974 million, compared to $21,212 million as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was mainly due to $1,646 million senior notes repaid at maturity and $54 million of exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by $500 million outstanding under our $1.8 billion unsecured syndicated sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, entered into in April 2022, as amended in February 2023 (“RCF”). Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased $2,506 million aggregate principal amount of notes upon consummation of a cash tender offer, and issued $2,445 million of sustainability-linked senior notes net of issuance costs. In July 2023, a total amount of $700 million was withdrawn under the RCF, of which $200 million was repaid in September 2023. As of September 30, 2023 and as of the date of this Press Release, $500 million is outstanding under the RCF. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of September 30, 2023 was 7% compared to 10% as of December 31, 2022. Our average debt maturity was approximately 6.1 years as of September 30, 2023, compared to 5.8 years as of December 31, 2022.

In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. As of the date of this Press Release, the situation is evolving. Israel is included in Teva’s International Markets segment results. Teva’s global headquarters and several manufacturing and R&D facilities are located in Israel. Currently, such activities in Israel remain largely unaffected. Teva continues to maintain contingency plans with backup production locations for key products. As of the date of this Press Release, the impact of the war on Teva’s results of operations and financial condition is immaterial, but such impact may increase, which could be material, as a result of the continuation, escalation or expansion of such war.

COPAXONE revenues in our North America segment in the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 2% to $103 million, compared to the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to generic competition in the United States and a decrease in glatiramer acetate market share due to availability of alternative therapies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted EPS, are presented in order to facilitate investors’ understanding of our business. We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how we utilize the non-GAAP measures: our management and board of directors use the non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operational performance, to compare against work plans and budgets, and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management; our annual budgets are prepared on a non-GAAP basis; and senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using these non-GAAP measures. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of the GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP measures. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are not providing forward looking guidance for GAAP reported financial measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including, but not limited to, the amortization of purchased intangible assets, legal settlements and loss contingencies, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill impairment, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.
