Item 4. Controls and Procedures

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Teva maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as definedin Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Teva’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Teva’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective.

After evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which continues to exist as of March 31, 2024.

We did not design and maintain effective control over the contingent consideration liability and related expenses in connection with estimated future royalty payments. This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of our “Other asset impairments, restructuring and other items,” “Net income” and “Other taxes and long-term liabilities” and related financial disclosures, and led to the revision of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the interim financial information for the quarterly andyear-to-date periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Plan

Management has designed and implemented the following specific controls to address the material weakness and enhance our disclosure controls and procedures over the contingent consideration liability: (i) defined responsibilities over theend-to-end process; (ii) enhanced the formality and rigor of reconciliation procedures; and (iii) implemented additional monitoring controls through management reviews.

Although the new controls have been designed and implemented, the new controls have not operated for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, the material weakness is not remediated as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The actions described under “Remediation Plan” above are changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024, that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Teva’s internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we completed the implementation of a new financial consolidation information technology system. Such implementation was not made in response to any identified deficiency or weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Management completed testing of this system prior to its launch and utilized a parallel run during the previous year. Furthermore, management will continue to monitor, test, and evaluate the operating effectiveness of internal controls during the post-implementation period to ensure effective controls over financial reporting.
