Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Teva revise its 2025 outlook?

The revised outlook raised non-GAAP operating income at the low end by $200 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS at the low end by $0.10. It also reflects a $200 million revenue reduction at the high end of the range.
What drove the improvement in profitability in the first quarter?
The filing attributes the higher gross profit margin, which rose to 48.2% GAAP and 52.8% non-GAAP, mainly to a favorable product mix driven by higher AUSTEDO revenues. GAAP operating income improved to $519 million from an operating loss of $218 million a year earlier, which had included impairments and restructuring charges.

United States segment profit rose 52% to $532 million, driven by higher gross profit. Europe segment profit fell 22% to $329 million on lower gross profit, and International Markets segment profit fell 17% to $97 million, mainly due to lower gross profit.
