ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including the following risk factors which we face and which are faced by our industry. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could materially differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report and our other SEC filings. For a summary of the risk factors included in this Item 1A and for further details on our forward-looking statements, see “Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary” on page 1.

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 business. In 2024, total revenues from sales of our generic medicines in all our business segments were $9,461 million, or 57.2% 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 pharmaceuticals 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 adverse challenges in the U.S. generics market deriving from limitations on our ability to influence generic medicine pricing in the long term and a decrease in value from future launches and growth. If we experience further difficulty in this market, this may continue to adversely affect our revenues and profits from our United States business segment or cause us to recognize one or more goodwill impairments relating to this reporting unit.

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. For example, several major hospital systems in the United States formed a nonprofit company in 2018 to manufacture their own generic medicines. 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 drugs face intense competition. Prices of generic drugs 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 may not continue due to the intense competition expected 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, or which are complex to develop. Many of the smaller 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 efforts have included pursuing new patents for existing products to extend patent protection; obtaining new regulatory exclusivities; selling the brand product as their own authorized generics; using the Citizen Petition process to request amendments to FDA standards or otherwise delay generic (or biosimilar) drug approvals; seeking changes to U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization which publishes industry recognized compendia of drug standards; using the legislative and regulatory process to have drugs reclassified or rescheduled; attaching patent extension amendments to unrelated federal legislation; and entering into agreements with pharmacy benefit management companies to block the dispensing of generic (including biosimilar) products. 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

Table of Contents

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 also could 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 could lead 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 amount of years, 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. See “Item 1—Business—Regulation” for more information.

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 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 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 economic benefits anticipated in connection with our planned launch timing. 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, 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, may 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 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.

Our innovative medicines face intense competition from companies that have greater resources and capabilities and we must make significant investments in our pipeline of innovative medicines to address such competition, which may not achieve expected results.

We face intense competition to our innovative medicines. 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. However, many of our competitors are larger and/or have substantially more experience in the development, acquisition and marketing of branded, innovative and consumer-oriented products. They may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging market preferences or to devote greater resources to the development and marketing of new products and/or technologies than we can. 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 to physicians, patients and third-party payers. If competitors introduce new products or new variations on their existing products, our marketed products, even those protected by patents, may 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:

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, Modag, Sanofi, Royalty Pharma, Biolojic, Launch Therapeutics and mAbxience. However, there is no assurance that such collaborations will achieve the results we expect and we or our counterparties could fail to perform the obligations thereunder, including due to the failure to obtain regulatory approvals and increasing competition, pricing pressures and other financial constraints.

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

Table of Contents

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 such as the U.S. FDA and EMA requirement on material use, 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 does 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, contract sales force 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 leading innovative medicines face patent challenges and impending patent expirations and some have recently become susceptible to generic competition, such as TREANDA in 2022. 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 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 are or may become subject to competition from generic equivalents because our patent protection expired or may expire soon. In addition, we may not be successful in our efforts to obtain additional patent protection for our innovative medicines through the development and commercialization of proprietary product improvements and new and enhanced dosage forms.

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. 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 manufacture and commercialization; costly legal actions brought by our competitors that may delay or prevent 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-

Table of Contents

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.

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 or at all. 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.

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 of individual countries and each country’s practices 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, including potential challenges to our Orange Book patent listings in the United States, could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

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, 2024, we have consolidated debt of $17,783 million outstanding, compared to $19,833 million outstanding as of December 31, 2023. 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.

Table of Contents

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 specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes and when sustainability-linked senior notes is 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.

In response to rising inflation in recent years, central banks in the markets in which we operate, including the United States Federal Reserve, have tightened their monetary policies and raised interest rates, and any developments to such measures are difficult to predict in anticipation of the macroeconomic and political developments. Higher interest rates and volatility in financial markets could lead to additional economic uncertainty or recession. Increased inflation rates have increased our and our suppliers’ operating costs, including labor costs, manufacturing costs and R&D costs. If we are unable to manage rising costs as a result of inflation and its broader effects on the markets in which we operate in the future, our operations may be materially affected. In addition to rising inflation, the global economy has also been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates and geopolitical tensions, which could result in 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 and the U.S. dollar could increase our operating costs and

Table of Contents

adversely affect our results of operations, profits and cash flows. The duration and extent of rising inflation, higher interest rates, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, 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 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.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, and the governmental and societal responses thereto, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Widespread outbreaks of disease or other public health crises and responses thereto have in the past and may in the future negatively impact the global economy, disrupt global supply chains and create significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced disruptions in countries and regions in which we manufacture our products and conduct our clinical trials, as well as changes in customer stocking and purchasing patterns. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily closed certain of our facilities and faced other protectionist measures and restrictions imposed by government, which caused certain delays and disruptions in our materials, supply, and which also resulted in delays in our clinical trials due to slowdowns in recruitment for studies and suspended regulatory inspections, delays in regulatory approvals of new products due to reduced capacity or re-prioritization of regulatory agencies and delays in pre-commercial launch activities. The new working environment that emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many employees working remotely, also increased the exposure of many companies, including us, to cyber-attacks and data security breaches. Future outbreaks of disease, including a resurgence of COVID-19, and any government response thereto, could have a material adverse impact on the global economy, our supply chain, our business operations, and our financial performance.

We have taken precautionary measures, and may take additional measures, intended to minimize the risks of future potential public health crises to our employees and operations.

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 such optimization efforts, we may 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.

Any workforce reduction and site consolidation may 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

Table of Contents

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, power outages, network outages, failed upgrades or other similar 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 may 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.

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,

Table of Contents

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 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, problems with or shortages of raw materials, natural disasters, extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves, blizzards, hurricanes, wildfires, the rise of sea level, and water stress, and other environmental factors. Additionally, as our manufacturing plants and equipment age, they may 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 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 full control or are hard to predict.

A significant portion of our costs is comprised of raw materials for our products as well as energy, transportation and labor costs for our manufacturing and operations. We have experienced increases in labor and other operational costs, partly due to macroeconomic pressures. While we seek to pass along such increased costs to our customers, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully and promptly increase our pricing to offset such increased costs in the future. Our ability to increase our pricing may be limited or delayed by regulatory restrictions and we may only be able to increase our pricing to the extent our competitors also increase their prices, as any increase in our pricing exceeding that of our competitors could negatively impact our competitive position. Any failure to effectively and timely pass along our increased costs to our customers may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

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 2024 were in the United States and Europe, and an increasing 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 political and economic instability, such as the state of war declared in Israel in October 2023 and the ongoing military activity in the region, as well as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that could result in a loss of sales in such regions. Our global headquarters and several manufacturing and R&D facilities are located in Israel and currently remain largely unaffected, and we have no manufacturing or R&D facilities in Russia or Ukraine. However, the duration, severity and global implications (including potential inflation and devaluation consequences) of these and other geopolitical conflicts that may arise in the future, cannot be predicted at this time and could have an 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 have put regulations in place requiring local manufacturing of goods, while foreign-made products are subject to pricing penalties or even bans from participation in public procurement auctions.

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

Table of Contents

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 if major hostilities were to escalate in the Middle East or trade between Israel and its present trading partners were materially impaired, including as a result of acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere. The state of war declared in Israel in October 2023, and the ongoing military activity in the region, may result in disruption to our operations and facilities, such as our manufacturing and R&D facilities located in Israel, and impact our employees, some of which are military reservists being called to active military duty, and impact the economic, social and political stability of Israel.

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 we have faced in recent years, the increased importance of delivering on corporate sustainability goals and their reputational impact 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 impair or delay our ability to execute our Pivot to Growth strategy.

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 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.

Table of Contents

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 reaching an agreement with a prospective purchaser 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. 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, the capabilities or durability of 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 we do not realize the anticipated cost savings or other benefits of such transactions, our prospects and opportunities for growth may be negatively 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 penalties for pricing certain products above state-defined threshold, as well as competition laws, economic sanctions, export controls, import and trade laws and regulations, 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. 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

Table of Contents

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 facilities are subject to ongoing regulation, including periodic inspection by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, and we must incur expense and expend effort to ensure compliance with these complex regulations. Following an inspection, an agency may issue a notice listing conditions that are believed to violate cGMP or other regulations, or take other regulatory action, including issuing a warning letter for violations of “regulatory significance” that may result in enforcement action if not promptly and adequately corrected. In recent years, regulatory agencies around the world have increased their scrutiny of pharmaceutical manufacturers. This has resulted in requests for product recalls, temporary plant shutdowns to address specific issues and other remedial actions. Our 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 production and quality control regulations. These regulatory actions have and may adversely impact our ability to supply various products around the world and to obtain approvals for new products manufactured at the affected facilities. If any regulatory body were to require one or more of our significant manufacturing 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 manufacture a drug is site-specific, the delay and cost of remedial actions or obtaining approval to 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 beginning 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 as of January 2025 includes AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR 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 that the rate of inflation.

A number of state legislatures have been considering legislation that would implement IRA-like frameworks for state regulated insurance markets. There are uncertainties as to the extent to which the IRA and similar frameworks will be implemented under the incoming U.S. administration. 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 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 or whether additional changes in regulatory policies will occur in the future.

Additionally, the incoming U.S. administration may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for Teva’s business. These may include new price restrictions on products Teva sells to Medicare or

Table of Contents

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, 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 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 operations. We are currently subject to several governmental and civil proceedings and litigations relating to our pricing marketing, and manufacturing practices, intellectual property, product liability, competition matters, opioids, securities disclosures, financial reporting and accounting practices, corporate governance 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, Japan, 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

Table of Contents

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” for more information.

The incoming 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 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 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, which 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. Healthcare reform legislation has increased the number of patients who have insurance coverage for our products, but provisions such as the assessment of a branded pharmaceutical manufacturer fee and an increase in the amount of rebates that manufacturers pay for coverage of their drugs by Medicaid programs may have an adverse effect on us. It is uncertain how current and future reforms, including any new legislation enacted during the incoming 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 settle 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.

Table of Contents

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. If other states or local jurisdictions successfully enact similar legislation and we are not able to mitigate the impact on our business through operational changes or commercial arrangements, such legislation in the aggregate may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 may result in significant liability for violations of competition laws, which may have a material adverse effect 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, debarment from federally funded health care programs and reputational harm. 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

Table of Contents

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 U.S. states, the European Commission 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 preliminarily enjoined on constitutional grounds, but 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 are currently, 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 large 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 innovator’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

Table of Contents

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 suffer 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.

We maintain an insurance program, which may include commercial insurance, self-insurance (including direct risk retention), or a combination of both approaches, in amounts and on terms that it believes are reasonable and prudent in light of its 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 may not be able to obtain the 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 “Customs and Trade Controls”). Applicable Customs 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 and multiple other agencies of other jurisdictions around the

Table of Contents

world where we do business. Customs and Trade Controls relate to a number of aspects of our business, including most notably the sales of finished goods and API as well as the licensing of our intellectual property. Compliance with Customs and Trade Controls has been the subject of increasing focus and activity by regulatory authorities, both in the United States and elsewhere, in recent years, and requirements under applicable Customs and Trade Controls in general, change frequently. Sanctions 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 Customs 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 Customs and Trade Controls and accordingly may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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. While we have validated Science-Based Targets for GHG reductions, failure to respond to risks regarding climate change may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. The consequences of climate change, such as extreme weather and water scarcity, could pose risks to our facilities and disruption of our activities.

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. 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 natural

Table of Contents

emergencies that may occur, including extreme weather events. We have been placing increased attention on water management, implementing a scarcity-focused approach to water conservation to align with community needs and advance toward sustainable operations. If our planning and risk management regarding natural disasters and extreme weather events fail, our facilities could be impacted and our activities could be significantly disrupted.

Our business could be negatively impacted by ESG issues.

In recent years, there has been an increased focus from certain investors, employees, consumers, regulators (including the SEC), and other stakeholders concerning ESG matters. These matters can contribute to the long-term sustainability of companies’ performance and an inability to successfully perform on ESG matters can result in negative impacts to our reputation, recruitment, retention, operations, financial results, the price of our shares, and our ability to attract or retain certain types of customers and investors. From time to time, we announce certain initiatives, including goals, regarding our focus areas, which include environmental matters, sustainable procurement, access to medicines and healthcare, compliance and integrity and I&D. We could fail, or be perceived to fail, either in identifying our ESG focus areas, or in our achievement of our initiatives or goals, whether described in our announcements, our Sustainability progress 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, and any such failures or perceived failures could expose us to negative impacts, including government enforcement actions or private litigation. 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.

A variety of organizations measure performance on ESG topics, including on topics such as the cost, even if unintended, of our actions on climate change and inequality in society. We could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives or goals or perceived as not acting responsibly or far enough in connection with these matters. Any such ESG matters could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, companies across a variety of industries, including the pharmaceutical industry, are experiencing increased shareholder activism regarding ESG matters. If we are required to respond to actions by activist shareholders, we could incur disruptions to the operation of our business and our management’s attention could be diverted. While we monitor a broad range of ESG issues, there can be no certainty that we will manage such issues successfully, or that we will successfully meet the expectations of investors, employees, consumers and other stakeholders.

Moreover, our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various reporting standards may change from time to time and may result in lack of meaningful or comparative data from period to period. Our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. Collecting, measuring, and reporting ESG information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming, is subject to evolving reporting standards, and can present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, any of which could have a material impact, including on our business, financial condition, reputation and stock price. Inadequate processes to collect, review, validate and assure this data and information prior to disclosure could be subject to potential liability related to such information.

Furthermore, there are an increasing number of ESG-related regulatory disclosure regulations with which Teva may have to comply. For example, in October 2023, California enacted legislation that will ultimately 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 enhanced disclosures around the achievement of climate-related claims, including the use of voluntary carbon credits to achieve such claims. In addition, in December 2022, the European Union

Table of Contents

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. In addition to assessing the financial effects of a sustainability matter on a company, materiality assessments will require the relevant company to take into account non-financial considerations as to the materiality of a sustainability matter from an impact perspective when it pertains to the undertaking’s actual or potential, positive or negative impacts on people or the environment over the short-, medium-or long-term. Impacts may include those connected with the company’s own operations and upstream and downstream value chain, including through its products and services, as well as through its business relationships. Teva expects to first have to disclose pursuant to the CSRD, in accordance with the ESRS, in 2026. 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. This disclosure obligation may lead to increased compliance burdens and costs. Additionally, could lead to the disclosure of information which may have a negative impact on our operations and reputation, and which may lead to additional exposure. Failure to accurately comply with any ESG obligations may result in enforcement actions, sanctions, reputational harm or private litigation.

In addition to regulatory disclosures, there are a number of ESG-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, including the EU’s Directive (EU) 2024/1760 on corporate sustainability due diligence and 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. 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 2024, approximately 47% 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 proportion 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 2024, we incurred a

Table of Contents

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, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we operate, negatively impacted our revenues, results of operations, profits 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. 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 in the future outlook of value 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. See notes 6 and 7 in our consolidated financial statements, for descriptions of impairments of intangible assets and goodwill in recent periods.

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 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

Table of Contents

potential impact of Pillar Two on our 2024 consolidated financial statements is not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, it could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and consolidated financial statements in the future.

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.

Failure to establish and 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 maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As part of its annual review of the effectiveness of Teva’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, management has concluded that Teva’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. A material weakness, which was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2024, has been remediated after newly implemented controls had been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Although this material weakness was remediated as of December 31, 2024, there is no assurance that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on the market for our ordinary shares. 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

Table of Contents

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.

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 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management Program Overview

As cybersecurity threats rapidly evolve in sophistication and become more prevalent, especially with the increasing use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology, we have implemented a cybersecurity risk management program as part of our oversight, evaluation and mitigation of enterprise-level risks. Our cybersecurity risk management program leverages a combination of processes, technologies and personnel with expertise in cybersecurity to comply with applicable regulations and detect and respond to cyber-attacks, data breaches, security incidents, and compromises of personal information, as well as to regularly and promptly inform management and our Board of Directors of any significant cybersecurity risks and developments.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is led by our global Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), who is directly responsible for establishing cybersecurity strategies and structures and managing ongoing cybersecurity risk management activities through our information security office, which is responsible for the

day-to-day

identification, monitoring and management of cybersecurity risks. Our CISO reports directly to our global Chief Information Officer (“CIO”). Our CISO has significant experience in managing cybersecurity risks at major global companies in the pharmaceutical and defense industries. Our CISO regularly meets with the CIO to provide updates on cybersecurity matters. Our CIO updates our executive management on a regular basis to share cybersecurity related matters and discuss strategies to proactively manage cybersecurity threats. Our CISO and CIO brief our Audit Committee on our cybersecurity and risk management programs.

Our information security office is supported by a team consisting of personnel with experience and expertise in cybersecurity risk management strategies, execution and operations, with domain expertise in cloud services security, infrastructure and operational technology security, cybersecurity incident response, and tactical governance risk compliance.

Our CISO and CIO are also members of our information and security governance group, led by our CIO, which is comprised of executive and senior leadership from a variety of functions, including information security, corporate security, legal, finance, human resources, internal audit and compliance, as well as members of Teva’s global situation room (“GSR”). Additionally, our CISO, CIO and other members of our information security office may, from time to time, consult and coordinate with other Teva departments and members of management to manage cybersecurity risks, promote cybersecurity awareness and implement cybersecurity incident responses.

In addition, management has worked, and expects to continue to work, with third-party service providers, as appropriate, to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks. Management also conducts periodic and

on-demand

assessments of our cybersecurity risk management program with expert service providers to ensure it complies with and meets current ISO 27001 standards. As part of its cybersecurity program, Teva conducts periodic tabletop exercises to assess its cybersecurity incident response process.

As part of its overall risk oversight function, our Audit Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, oversees cybersecurity risks in connection with overseeing our overall enterprise risk management system.Management, including our CISO and CIO, provide updates on our cybersecurity risk management program and cybersecurity matters to the Audit Committee, and also reports to the Board of Directors as necessary. These updates and reports include updates on Teva’s cybersecurity risks and threats, the status of projects intended to strengthen its information security systems, assessments of the information security program (including remediation, mitigation, and management of identified vulnerabilities), and the emerging threat landscape.

As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we maintain industry standard procedures and policies, which are reviewed and revised periodically, and certified to comply with ISO 27001 standards, to both

Table of Contents

proactively assess, identify and manage potential cybersecurity risks and respond to any actual cybersecurity threats and incidents. Such procedures and policies include: actively monitoring our information technology systems to ensure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements; engaging third-party consultants and other service providers to monitor and, as appropriate, respond to cybersecurity risks; requiring our service providers and our business partners who connect directly to our information technology systems to comply with our cybersecurity standards and due diligence processes and be subject to our

non-disclosure

and other confidentiality agreements that include cybersecurity-related terms; providing and analyzing specialized industry sector intelligence on cybersecurity threats; regularly testing our cybersecurity systems and disaster preparedness, including our

back-up

information technology systems; developing and updating incident response plans to address potential cybersecurity threats; and maintaining and training our personnel on cybersecurity incident reporting procedures. Teva engages with key vendors, industry participants, and intelligence and law enforcement communities as part of its continuing efforts to obtain current threat intelligence, collaborate on security enhancements, and evaluate and improve the effectiveness of its information security program.

Cyber Threats and Incident Response

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store confidential data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personally identifiable information (including of our employees, customers,

suppliers and business partners). We rely extensively on information technology systems, including some systems that are managed by third-party service providers, to securely process, store and transmit such confidential data in order to conduct our business. These systems include programs and processes relating to internal and external communications, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, collecting, processing and storing data produced by our clinical trials and other research and development initiatives, converting materials to finished products, shipping products to customers, processing transactions, processing payments to employees and vendors, calculating sales receivables, generating our financial results for each reporting period, summarizing and reporting results of operations, and complying with information technology security compliance and other regulatory, legal or tax requirements. In addition, as cybersecurity attacks may become increasingly complex as they are enhanced or facilitated by the emergence of new technologies such as AI used to identify and target new vulnerabilities in our information technology systems or those of our customers, third-party vendors and other business partners, we are taking measures to manage these risks by utilizing new tools and capabilities, including AI.

We have not been materially impacted by risks from cybersecurity threats and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form

10-K,

we are not aware of any cybersecurity risks that are reasonably likely to materially affect our business. However, there can be no assurance that Teva will not be materially affected by such risks in the future. Our systems and networks have been, and are expected to continue to be, the target of increasingly advanced and evolving cyber-attacks and cybersecurity incidents in the future may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we are continuing to actively monitor such threats. For more information, see “Item 1A, Risk Factors—Risks related to our general business and operations—Significant disruptions of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business” and “Item 1A, Risk Factors—Risks related to our general business and operations—A data security breach could adversely affect our business and reputation.”

In the event that we experience a cybersecurity incident, we have a cybersecurity incident response playbook that sets forth the applicable processes, roles, engagements, escalations and notifications to be executed in order to promptly respond to such threats. Depending on its nature and scale, a cybersecurity threat may be managed within our information security office, escalated to our CISO and CIO, or escalated to our management, and Audit Committee and Board of Directors, as appropriate. In certain instances, our GSR may be initiated and will collectively manage Teva’s response to a crisis on a corporate level. The GSR is comprised of members from our various business units and regions, including senior leadership from a variety of functions, such as information security, legal, finance, human resources, communications and compliance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

We are a global pharmaceutical leader, harnessing our generics expertise and stepping up innovation to continue the momentum behind the discovery, delivery and expanded development of modern medicine.

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 enables our approximately 37,000 employees across 57 markets to push the boundaries of scientific innovation and deliver quality medicines to help improve health outcomes for millions of patients every day.

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 (previously referred to as the North America segment, see below “—United States Segment”), 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.

In 2024, we continued to execute on the four key pillars of our “Pivot to Growth” strategy, which we announced in May 2023.

Table of Contents

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Environment

In recent years, the global economy has been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates. In 2024, approximately 47% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and we manufacture our products largely outside of the United States. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar versus other currencies in which we operate may materially impact our revenues, results of operations, profits and cash flows. Additionally, in recent years, in many of the markets in which we operate we experienced higher levels of inflation resulting in higher interest rates, though in certain other markets, such as the EU, we recently experienced a decrease in inflation which resulted in lower interests rates. The global economy has also been impacted by geopolitical tensions which have resulted in disruptions to global supply chains, including our internal supply chain. In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war on several fronts, which as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is ongoing. Our global headquarters as well as several of our manufacturing and R&D facilities are located in Israel and, while operations there currently remain largely unaffected, the impact of this war on our operations may increase, which could be material, as a result of the continuation, escalation or expansion of this war. In light of the above, 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. We have implemented certain measures in response to such events and are continually considering various initiatives, including price adjustments where we are not restricted contractually or regulatorily, enhanced inventory management, alternative sourcing strategies for our raw material supply and backup production plans for key products, to allow us to partially mitigate and offset the impact of these macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. However, although inflationary and other macroeconomic pressures have and may continue to ease, the higher costs we have experienced during recent periods have already impacted our operations and will likely continue to have an effect on our financial results.

United States Revenues

As part of a recent shift in executive management responsibilities and in line with our Pivot to Growth strategy, commencing January 1, 2024, Canada is reported as part of our International Markets segment. Prior period amounts were recast to reflect this change. See note 19 to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues from our United States segment in 2024 were $8,034 million, an increase of $303 million, or 4%, compared to 2023, mainly due to higher revenues from generic products, including from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®) and our innovative products AUSTEDO and UZEDY, as well as revenues from the sale of certain product rights, partially offset by an upfront payment received in 2023 related to the collaboration on our duvakitug (anti-TL1A) asset, lower revenues from certain innovative products, primarily BENDEKA and TREANDA and COPAXONE, as well as from Anda, our distribution business.

Revenues by Major Products and Activities

The following table presents revenues for our United States segment by major products and activities for the past two years:

(U.S. $ in millions)

Generic products (including biosimilars) $ 3,599 $ 3,138 15 %

Generic products (including biosimilars) revenues in our United States segment in 2024 increased by 15% to $3,599 million, compared to 2023, mainly due to higher revenues from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®), the launch of liraglutide injection 1.8mg (an authorized generic of Victoza®) and the launch of SIMLANDI (adalimumab-ryvk) injection (the biosimilar to Humira®), partially offset by increased competition to other generic products.

Among the most significant generic products we sold in the United States in 2024 were lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®), epinephrine injectable solution (the generic equivalent of EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr®), Truxima® (the biosimilar to Rituxan®) and liraglutide 1.8 mg injection (an authorized generic of Victoza®).

On February 24, 2024, Alvotech and Teva announced that the FDA approved SIMLANDI (adalimumab-ryvk) injection, as an interchangeable biosimilar to Humira®, for the treatment of adult rheumatoid arthritis,

juvenile idiopathic arthritis, adult psoriatic arthritis, adult ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, adult ulcerative colitis, adult plaque psoriasis, adult hidradenitis suppurativa and adult uveitis. On May 21, 2024, Alvotech and Teva announced the availability of SIMLANDI in the U.S.

On April 16, 2024, Alvotech and Teva announced that the FDA has approved SELARSDI (ustekinumab-aekn) injection for subcutaneous use, as a biosimilar to Stelara®, for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and for active psoriatic arthritis in adults and pediatric patients six years and older.

On June 24, 2024, Teva announced the launch of liraglutide injection 1.8mg (an authorized generic of Victoza®) in the United States. Liraglutide injection is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease.

In July 2024, Teva launched paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension (albumin-bound) (a therapeutically equivalent product to Abraxane®) in the United States for the treatment of breast cancer after failure of combination chemotherapy for metastatic disease, the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, and the treatment of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.

On October 1, 2024, Teva launched octreotide acetate for injectable suspension, the first generic version of Sandostatin® LAR Depot. Octreotide acetate for injectable suspension is indicated for the treatment of acromegaly and severe diarrhea associated with carcinoid syndrome, and is available to patients in the U.S.

For more information on our generic products, including biosimilars, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Generic Medicines.”

In 2024, our total prescriptions were approximately 283 million (based on trailing twelve months), representing 7.4% of total U.S. generic prescriptions according to IQVIA data.

AJOVY revenues in our United States segment in 2024 decreased by 2% to $207 million, compared to 2023, mainly due to unfavorable net pricing including an increase in sales allowance due to a non-recurring item, partially offset by growth in volume. In 2024, AJOVY’s exit market share in the United States in terms of total number of prescriptions was 29.6%, compared to 25.7% in 2023.

For more information on AJOVY, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AJOVY.”

AUSTEDO revenues in our United States segment in 2024 increased by 34% to $1,642 million, compared to 2023, mainly due to growth in volume including the launch of AUSTEDO XR in May 2023, as well as expanded access for patients.

For more information on AUSTEDO, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AUSTEDO.”

UZEDY revenues in our United States segment in 2024 were $117 million.

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 2024 decreased by 29% to $168 million, compared to 2023, mainly due to competition from alternative therapies, as well as the entry of generic bendamustine products into the market. The orphan drug exclusivity that was attached to bendamustine products expired in December 2022.

COPAXONE revenues in our United States segment in 2024 decreased by 18% to $242 million, compared to 2023, mainly due to market share erosion and competition, partially offset by a reduction in sales allowance.

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 2024 decreased by 3% to $1,536 million, compared to 2023, 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.

Table of Contents

*** Represents estimated sales based on OTC sales reported through IQVIA.

As of December 31, 2024, our generic products pipeline in the United States includes 127 product applications awaiting FDA approval, including 65 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, 2024 of approximately $122 billion, according to IQVIA. Approximately 78% 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 82 products including final approvals where launch is pending a settlement agreement or court decision. Collectively, these first to file opportunities represent over $80 billion in U.S. brand sales for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, 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.

In 2024, 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.

Tofacitinib ER Tabs, 11 and 22 mg Xeljanz XR® $ 1,787

Enzalutamide Tablets, 40 mg and 80 mg Xtandi® $ 1,253

Palbociclib Capsules Ibrance® $ 504

Binimetinib Tablets, 15 mg Mektovi® $ 176

Fedratinib Capsules, 100 mg Inrebic® $ 59

Glycerol Phenylbutyrate Oral Liquid, 1.1 g/mL Ravicti® $ 44

United States Gross Profit

Gross profit from our United States segment in 2024 was $4,388 million, an increase of 2% compared to $4,310 million in 2023.

Gross profit margin for our United States segment in 2024 decreased to 54.6%, compared to 55.7% in 2023. This decrease was mainly due to an upfront payment received in 2023 related to the collaboration on our duvakitug (anti-TL1A) asset, partially offset by a favorable mix of products primarily driven by higher revenues from AUSTEDO and lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid®).

Revenues from our Europe segment in 2024 were $5,103 million, an increase of $266 million, or 5%, compared to 2023. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 4%, mainly due to higher revenues from generic and OTC products as well as higher revenues from AJOVY, partially offset by lower revenues from COPAXONE, respiratory products and other products. Our revenues in 2024 and 2023 were also impacted by the sale of certain product rights.

In 2024, revenues were positively impacted by exchange rate fluctuations of $64 million, including hedging effects, compared to 2023. Revenues in 2024 were affected by a $21 million positive hedging impact, compared to a $12 million negative hedging impact in 2023, which are included in “Other” in the table below.

Generic products (including OTC and biosimilars) $ 3,926 $ 3,664 7 %

* Other revenues in 2024 and 2023 include the sale of certain product rights.

Generic products revenues (including OTC and biosimilar products) in our Europe segment in 2024 increased by 7% to $3,926 million compared to 2023. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 6%, mainly due to price increases as a result of market conditions such as inflationary pressures in certain markets, as well as higher revenues from recently launched products.

AJOVY revenues in our Europe segment in 2024 were $216 million, an increase of 34%, in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms, compared to 2023. This increase was due to growth in volumes.

For more information on AJOVY, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—AJOVY.”

COPAXONE revenues in our Europe segment in 2024 decreased by 8% to $213 million, compared to 2023, in both U.S. dollars and local currency terms, compared to 2023. This decrease was mainly due to price reductions and a decline in volume resulting from the availability of alternative therapies and competing glatiramer acetate products.

For more information on COPAXONE, see “Item 1—Business—Our Product Portfolio and Business Offering—Innovative Medicines—COPAXONE.”

Respiratory products revenues in our Europe segment in 2024 decreased by 8% to $244 million, compared to 2023. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 9%, mainly due to net price reductions and lower volumes.
