TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD

Previous wording

In recent years, the global economy has been impacted by fluctuating foreign exchange rates. In the first quarter of 2024, approximately 50% 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, high levels of inflation have recently resulted in significant economic volatility and monetary tightening by central banks through higher interest rates. In addition to inflation, higher interest rates and fluctuating foreign exchange rates, the global economy has also been impacted by geopolitical tensions which have resulted in disruptions to global supply chains, including to our internal supply chain. In October 2023, Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization and entered a state of war, which as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 may ease, the higher costs we have experienced during the recent periods have already impacted our operations and will likely continue to have an effect on our financial results.
