“Our key growth products met major milestones in 2019, including the launch of AJOVY® in Europe, continued strong growth for AUSTEDO®, and the successful launch of our first biosimilar TRUXIMA® in North America. In 2020, we expect to see continued growth for AJOVY®, AUSTEDO® and our biosimilars.”

Mr. Schultz continued, “Looking ahead, we will further transform our manufacturing network, improve our profitability, and generate cash, which will further reduce our debt. We will enhance our biopharmaceutical offerings, and expand our key assets with additional indications and geographies.”

Revision of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of Teva's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Teva determined that in the full years and interim periods of fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and the first three quarters of fiscal year 2019, it had an immaterial error in the presentation of distribution revenues from its Israeli distribution business. This business is part of the International Markets reporting segment and facilitates distribution of Teva and third party products to pharmacies, hospitals and other organizations in Israel.

Specifically, the Company concluded that it presented revenue from its Israeli distribution business on a gross basis, although it should have reported such revenue on a net basis. Because Teva has no discretion in establishing prices for any specifies goods or services, limited inventory risk and is not primarily responsible for contract fulfillment, Teva does not meet the criteria for reporting revenues from such business as a principal (on a gross basis), as opposed to as an agent (on a net basis).

The Company evaluated the cumulative impact of this item on its previously issued annual financial statements for 2017 and 2018, and the interim financial statements for 2017, 2018 and the first three quarters of 2019, and concluded that, for the reasons mentioned below, the revisions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any of its previously-issued interim or annual financial statements. Teva has revised its presentation of net revenue and cost of sales in the historical consolidated financial statements to reflect the change in this item, as described in more detail below.

The impact of this revision is a decrease in net revenues with an offsetting decrease in cost of sales. There is no impact on gross profit, operating income or earnings per share. In addition, there is no impact on Teva’s balance sheet or statement of cash flows for the related periods.

The following table summarizes the impact of the revision on net revenues and non-GAAP cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income in the relevant periods:

2019 Annual Consolidated Results

Revenues in 2019 were $16,887 million, a decrease of 8%, or 5% in local currency terms, compared to 2018, mainly due to generic competition to COPAXONE®, a decline in revenues from our U.S. generics business, BENDEKA®/TREANDA® and Japan, partially offset by higher revenues from AUSTEDO, AJOVY and QVAR® in the United States. The data presented for prior periods have been revised to reflect a revision in the presentation of net revenues and cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements. See "Revision of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements" above.

Exchange rate movements between 2019 and 2018 negatively impacted our revenues by $402 million, our GAAP operating income by $135 million and our non-GAAP operating income by $154 million.

GAAP gross profit was $7,537 million in 2019, a decrease of 9% compared to 2018. GAAP gross profit margin was 44.6% in 2019, compared to 45.4% in 2018. Non-GAAP gross profit was $8,702 million in 2019, a decrease of 9% compared to 2018. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 51.5% in 2019, compared to 52.2% in 2018. The decrease in both GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit was mainly due to lower revenues from COPAXONE in North America.

GAAP Research and Development (R&D) expenses in 2019 were $1,010 million, a decrease of 17% compared to 2018. Non-GAAP R&D expenses in 2019 were $1,004 million, or 5.9% of revenues, compared to $1,102 million, or 6.0% of revenues, in 2018. The decrease in R&D expenses resulted primarily from pipeline optimization and efficiencies realized as part of our restructuring plan.

GAAP Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in 2019 were $2,614 million, a decrease of 10% compared to 2018. Non-GAAP S&M expenses were $2,438 million, or 14.4% of revenues, in 2019, compared to $2,718 million, or 14.9% of revenues, in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to cost reductions and efficiency measures as part of the restructuring plan.

GAAP General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in 2019 were $1,192 million, a decrease of 8% compared to 2018. Non-GAAP G&A expenses were $1,145 million in 2019, or 6.8% of revenues, compared to $1,228 million, or 6.7% of revenues, in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to cost reductions and efficiency measures as part of the restructuring plan.

GAAP other income in 2019 was $76 million, compared to $291 million in 2018. The other income in 2019 was mainly related to the sale of activities in our International Markets segment. Non-GAAP other income in 2019 was $27 million, compared to $225 million in 2018. Non-GAAP other income in 2018 was mainly due to Section 8 recoveries from multiple cases in Canada and recovery of lost profits in cases in which U.S. patent infringement litigation had previously prevented the sale of certain products.

GAAP Operating loss was $443 million in 2019, compared to operating loss of $1,637 million in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to higher impairment charges recorded in 2018, partially offset by higher provisions in connection with legal settlements and loss contingencies in 2019, as well as lower profit in our North America segment. Non-GAAP operating income was $4,142 million, a decrease of 12% compared to $4,723 million in 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP operating income, which excludes amortization and certain other items, and excluding depreciation expenses) in 2019 was $4,685 million, compared to $5,319 million in 2018.

In 2019, GAAP financial expenses were $822 million, compared to $959 million in 2018. Non-GAAP financial expenses were $824 in 2019, compared to $893 in 2018.

In 2019, we recognized a GAAP tax benefit of $278 million, or 22%, on a pre-tax loss of $1,265 million. In 2018, we recognized a tax benefit of $195 million, or 8%, on a pre-tax loss of $2,596 million. Our tax rate for 2018 was lower than in 2019 due to one-time legal settlements and divestments that had a low corresponding tax effect.

Non-GAAP income taxes for 2019 were $597 million on non-GAAP pre-tax income of $3,317 million. Non-GAAP income taxes in 2018 were $519 million on non-GAAP pre-tax income of $3,830 million. The non-GAAP tax rate for 2019 was 18%, compared to 14% in 2018. Our annual non-GAAP effective tax rate for 2019 was higher than our non-GAAP effective tax rate for 2017 and 2018 primarily due to a lower tax shield on finance expenses.

In the future, both our GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates are expected to remain similar to the 2019 rate.

GAAP net loss attributable to Teva’s ordinary shareholders and GAAP diluted loss per share in 2019 were $999 million and $0.91, respectively, compared to net loss of $2,399 million and diluted loss per share of $2.35 in 2018. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders for calculating diluted EPS and non-GAAP diluted EPS in 2019 were $2,627 million and $2.40, respectively, compared to $2,985 million and $2.92 in 2018.

The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for the fully diluted share calculation on a GAAP basis for 2019 and 2018 were 1,091 million and 1,021 million shares, respectively. The weighted average outstanding shares used for the fully diluted EPS calculation on a non-GAAP basis for 2019 and 2018 were 1,094 million and 1,024 million shares, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,108 million and 1,100 million shares, respectively.

Non-GAAP information: Net non-GAAP adjustments in 2019 were $3,625 million. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for the year were adjusted to exclude the following items:

  • An impairment of intangible and fixed assets of 1,778 million, mainly related to the acquisition of Actavis Generics;
  • Legal settlements and loss contingencies of $1,178 million, mainly related to the reserve in connection with the opioids cases;
  • Amortization of purchased intangible assets totaling $1,113 million, of which $973 million is included in cost of goods sold and the remaining $139 million in selling and marketing expenses;
  • Restructuring expenses of $199 million;
  • Equity compensation expenses of $123 million;
  • Contingent consideration of $59 million;
  • Other non-GAAP items of $132 million;
  • Minority interest adjustment of $82; and
  • Related tax effect of $875 million.

Teva believes that excluding such items facilitates investors’ understanding of its business. For further information see the tables below for a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures and the information under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash flow generated from operating activities in 2019 was $748 million, a decrease of $1,698 million, or 69%, compared to 2018. This decrease was mainly due to the working capital adjustment with Allergan and the Rimsa settlement in 2018, and lower profit in our North America segment during 2019.

Free cash flow (Cash flow generated from operating activities in 2019, net of cash used for capital investments and beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized trade receivables) was $2,053 million in 2019, compared to $3,679 million in 2018. The decrease in 2019 resulted mainly from the lower cash flow generated from operating activities.

As of December 31, 2019, our debt was $26,908 million, compared to $28,916 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to senior notes repaid at maturity or prepaid with cash generated during the year. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of December 31, 2019 was 9%, compared to 8% as of December 31, 2018, due to a decrease in our total debt. Our average debt maturity was approximately 6.4 years as of December 31, 2019, compared to 6.8 years as of December 31, 2018.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Consolidated Results

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019 were $4,468 million, an increase of 1%, or 2% in local currency terms, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly due to an increase in sales of AUSTEDO, AJOVY and certain respiratory products, partially offset by lower revenues from COPAXONE in North America.

Exchange rate differences between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018 negatively impacted our revenues and GAAP operating income by $47 million and $27 million, respectively. Our non-GAAP operating income was negatively impacted by $29 million.

Cash flow generated from operations during the fourth quarter of 2019 was $538 million, compared to $367 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly due to active management of inventory levels.

The increase in 2019 resulted mainly from the higher cash flow generated from operating activities and sell of real-estate assets.

* Does not include revenues from the ProAir authorized generic, which are included under generic products.

Generic products revenues in our North America segment in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 3% to $1,137 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly due to new generic product launches, including the launch of TRUXIMA in November 2019, partially offset by price and volume erosion due to additional competition to our product portfolio.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we led the U.S. generics market in total prescriptions and new prescriptions, with approximately 388 million total prescriptions (based on trailing twelve months), representing 10.5% of total U.S. generic prescriptions according to IQVIA data.

COPAXONE revenues in our North America segment in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by 26% to $264 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly due to generic competition in the United States.

BENDEKA and TREANDA combined revenues in our North America segment in the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased by 11% to $125 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly due to lower volumes resulting from Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s launch of a ready-to-dilute bendamustine hydrochloride in June 2018.

ProAir revenues in our North America segment in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 77% to $80 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, mainly due to higher sales reserves recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 in anticipation of generic competition to the short-acting beta-agonist class of drugs. We launched our own ProAir authorized generic in the United States in January 2019.

QVAR revenues in our North America segment in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased to $67 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in sales was mainly due to a higher net price and an increase in volume.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, revenues prior to revision, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, EBITDA, non-GAAP financial expenses, non-GAAP income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS are presented in order to facilitates investors' understanding of our business. We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how we utilize the non-GAAP measures: our management and board of directors use the non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operational performance, to compare against work plans and budgets, and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management; our annual budgets are prepared on a non-GAAP basis; and senior management’s annual compensation is derived, in part, using these non-GAAP measures. Revenues prior to revision are being presented to provide investors with comparable information to that which was provided in prior periods. The revision of gross to net presentation of revenues in the distribution business in our International Markets segment decreased revenues with an offsetting decrease in cost of sales. See the attached tables for a reconciliation of the GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We are not providing forward looking guidance for GAAP reported financial measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are based on management’s current beliefs and expectations and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause our future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include risks relating to:

  • our ability to successfully compete in the marketplace, including: that we are substantially dependent on our generic products; consolidation of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers; the increase in the number of competitors targeting generic opportunities and seeking U.S. market exclusivity for generic versions of significant products; competition for our specialty products, especially COPAXONE®, our leading medicine, which faces competition from existing and potential additional generic versions, competing glatiramer acetate products and orally-administered alternatives; the uncertainty of commercial success of AJOVY® or AUSTEDO®; competition from companies with greater resources and capabilities; delays in launches of new products and our ability to achieve expected results from investments in our product pipeline; ability to develop and commercialize biopharmaceutical products; efforts of pharmaceutical companies to limit the use of generics, including through legislation and regulations and the effectiveness of our patents and other measures to protect our intellectual property rights;
  • our substantial indebtedness, which may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in additional transactions or make new investments, may result in a further downgrade of our credit ratings; and our inability to raise debt or borrow funds in amounts or on terms that are favorable to us;
  • our business and operations in general, including: implementation of our restructuring plan announced in December 2017; our ability to attract, hire and retain highly skilled personnel; our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products; compliance with anti-corruption, sanctions and trade control laws; manufacturing or quality control problems; interruptions in our supply chain; disruptions of information technology systems; breaches of our data security; variations in intellectual property laws; challenges associated with conducting business globally, including adverse effects of political or economic instability, major hostilities or terrorism; significant sales to a limited number of customers; our ability to successfully bid for suitable acquisition targets or licensing opportunities, or to consummate and integrate acquisitions; our prospects and opportunities for growth if we sell assets and potential difficulties related to the operation of our new global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system;
  • compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: increased legal and regulatory action in connection with public concern over the abuse of opioid medications in the U.S. and our ability to reach a final resolution of the remaining opioid-related litigation; costs and delays resulting from the extensive governmental regulation to which we are subject; the effects of reforms in healthcare regulation and reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage; governmental investigations into S&M practices; potential liability for patent infringement; product liability claims; increased government scrutiny of our patent settlement agreements; failure to comply with complex Medicare and Medicaid reporting and payment obligations; and environmental risks;
  • other financial and economic risks, including: our exposure to currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks; potential impairments of our intangible assets; potential significant increases in tax liabilities; and the effect on our overall effective tax rate of the termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or of a change in our business;

and other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed reports, including the sections captioned "Risk Factors." Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or other information contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
