Given the solid third quarter results, we have decided to raise our 2018 full year guidance. ”

Third Quarter 2018 Consolidated Results

Revenues in the third quarter of 2018 were $4,529 million, a decrease of 19%, or 18% in local currency terms, compared to the third quarter of 2017, mainly due to generic competition to COPAXONE, price erosion in our U.S. generics business and loss of revenues following the divestment of certain products and discontinuation of certain activities.

Exchange rate differences between the third quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017 negatively impacted our revenues and GAAP operating income by $80 million and $34 million, respectively. Our non-GAAP operating income was negatively impacted by $37 million.

GAAP gross profit was $2,021 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of 24% compared to the third quarter of 2017. GAAP gross profit margin was 44.6% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 47.2% in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP gross profit was $2,305 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decline of 23% from the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 50.9% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 53.1% in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in gross profit margin, on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis, resulted primarily from a decline in COPAXONE revenues due to generic competition, price erosion in our U.S. generics business and the loss of revenue following the sale of our women’s health business.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $311 million, a decrease of 41% compared to the third quarter of 2017. R&D expenses excluding equity compensation expenses and other expenses were $243 million, or 5.4% of quarterly revenues in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $367 million, or 6.5%, in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in R&D expenses resulted primarily from pipeline optimization, phase 3 studies that have ended and related headcount reduction.

Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were $743 million, a decrease of 12% compared to the third quarter of 2017. S&M expenses excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets, equity compensation expenses and other expenses were $678 million, or 15.0% of quarterly revenues, in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $788 million, or 14.0%, in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to cost reduction and efficiency measures as part of the restructuring plan.

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in the third quarter of 2018 were $309 million, a decrease of 17% compared to the third quarter of 2017. G&A expenses excluding equity compensation expenses and other expenses were $284 million in the third quarter of 2018, or 6.3% of quarterly revenues, compared to $360 million, or 6.4% in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to cost reduction and efficiency measures as part of the restructuring plan.

GAAP other income in the third quarter of 2018 was $35 million compared to $4 million in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP other income in the third quarter of 2018 was $4 million, same as in the third quarter of 2017.

GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2018 was $16 million, compared to $378 million in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2018 was $1,104 million, a decrease of 25% compared to the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP operating margin was 24.4% in the third quarter of 2018 compared to 26.2% in the third quarter of 2017.

EBITDA (non-GAAP operating income, which excludes amortization and certain other items, as well as depreciation expenses) was $1,253 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of 23% compared to $1,618 million in the third quarter of 2017.

GAAP financial expenses for the third quarter of 2018 were $229 million, compared to $259 million in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP financial expenses were $236 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $229 million in the third quarter of 2017.

In the third quarter of 2018, we recognized a tax benefit of $26 million, or 12%, on pre-tax loss of $213 million. In the third quarter of 2017, we recognized a tax benefit of $494 million, on pre-tax income of $119 million. Our tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was mainly affected by the mix of products sold in different geographies. Non-GAAP income taxes for the third quarter of 2018 were $85 million, or 10%, on pre-tax non-GAAP income of $868 million. Non-GAAP income taxes in the third quarter of 2017 were $135 million, or 11%, on pre-tax non-GAAP income of $1,241 million.

We expect our annual non-GAAP tax rate for 2018 to be 14%, which is lower than our previous projection. This is due to changes in the geographical mix of income we expect to earn this year. Our non-GAAP tax rate for 2017 was 15%.

GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and GAAP diluted loss per share in the third quarter of 2018 were $273 million and $0.27, respectively, compared to income of $530 million and $0.52 in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the third quarter of 2018 were $694 million and $0.68, respectively, compared to $1,012 million and $1.00 in the third quarter of 2017.

For the third quarter of 2018, the weighted average outstanding shares for the fully diluted EPS calculation on a GAAP basis was 1,018 million, compared to 1,017 million for the third quarter of 2017. The weighted average outstanding shares for the fully diluted EPS calculation on a non-GAAP basis was 1,022 million, compared to 1,017 million for the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, no account was taken of the potential dilution by the mandatory convertible preferred shares, amounting to 66 million shares (including shares that may be issued due to unpaid dividends to date) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 59 million shares for the three months ended September 30 2017, as well as for the convertible senior debentures for the respective periods, since both had an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.

As of September 30, 2018, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,111 million.

Non-GAAP information: Net non-GAAP adjustments in the third quarter of 2018 were $967 million. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter were adjusted to exclude the following items:

  • Impairment of long-lived assets of $521 million comprised mainly of impairment of intangible assets of product rights and IPR&D assets related to the Actavis Generics acquisition;
  • Amortization of purchased intangible assets totaling $297 million, of which $246 million is included in cost of goods sold and the remaining $51 million in S&M expenses;
  • Restructuring expenses of $88 million;
  • In Process R&D of $60 million;
  • Equity compensation expenses of $45 million;
  • Contingent consideration of $29 million;
  • Other non-GAAP items of $38 million; and
  • Tax benefit of $111 million.

Teva believes that excluding such items facilitates investors' understanding of its business. 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 replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash flow generated from operations during the third quarter of 2018 was $421 million, compared to $795 million in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to lower net income, higher beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized trade receivables and higher payments related to the restructuring plan during the third quarter of 2018.

Free cash flow (cash flow generated from operations net of capital expenditures and deferred purchase price cash component collected for securitized trade receivables) was $704 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $920 million in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to lower net income.

As of September 30, 2018, our debt was $29,489 million, compared to $30,237 million as of June 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the $405 million debt tender offer completed in September 2018 as well as repayment at maturity of our CHF 300 million 0.125% senior notes. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of September 30, 2018 was 9%, compared to 4% as of June 30, 2018, due to a net increase in current maturities.

Segment Results for the Third Quarter 2018

Due to the organizational changes announced in November 2017, we began reporting our financial results under a new structure in the first quarter of 2018, consisting of the following segments:

a) North America segment, which includes the United States and Canada.

b) Europe segment, which includes the European Union and certain other European countries.

c) International Markets segment, which includes all countries other than those in our North America and Europe segments.

In addition to these three segments, we have other activities, primarily the sale of API to third parties and certain contract manufacturing services.

Revenues from our North America segment in the third quarter of 2018 were $2,265 million, a decrease of $778 million, or 26%, compared to the third quarter of 2017, mainly due to a decline in revenues of COPAXONE, as well as a decline in revenues in our U.S. generics business, a decline in revenues of ProAir and QVAR and the loss of revenues from the sale of our women’s health business, partially offset by higher revenues from AUSTEDO® and our distribution business.

Generic products revenues in our North America segment in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 25% to $922 million, compared to the third quarter of 2017, mainly due to price erosion in our U.S. generics business, additional competition to methylphenidate extended-release tablets (Concerta® authorized generic) and portfolio optimization primarily as part of the restructuring plan.

In the third quarter of 2018, we led the U.S. generics market in total prescriptions and new prescriptions, with approximately 547 million total prescriptions, representing 14.1% of total U.S. generic prescriptions according to IQVIA data.

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, 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. 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.

  • our ability to successfully compete in the marketplace, including: that we are substantially dependent on our generic products; competition for our specialty products, especially COPAXONE®, our leading medicine, which faces competition from existing and potential additional generic versions and orally-administered alternatives; the uncertainty of commercial success of AJOVY™ or Austedo® competition from companies with greater resources and capabilities; efforts of pharmaceutical companies to limit the use of generics including through legislation and regulations; 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; price erosion relating to our products, both from competing products and increased regulation; delays in launches of new products and our ability to achieve expected results from investments in our product pipeline; our ability to take advantage of high-value opportunities; the difficulty and expense of obtaining licenses to proprietary technologies; 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: failure to effectively execute our restructuring plan announced in December, 2017; uncertainties related to, and failure to achieve, the potential benefits and success of our new senior management team and organizational structure; harm to our pipeline of future products due to the ongoing review of our R&D programs; our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products; potential additional adverse consequences following our resolution with the U.S. government of our FCPA investigation; compliance with sanctions and other trade control laws; manufacturing or quality control problems, which may damage our reputation for quality production and require costly remediation; interruptions in our supply chain; disruptions of our or third party information technology systems or breaches of our data security; the failure to recruit or retain key personnel; variations in intellectual property laws that may adversely affect our ability to manufacture our products; 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 in our U.S. market; our ability to successfully bid for suitable acquisition targets or licensing opportunities, or to consummate and integrate acquisitions; and our prospects and opportunities for growth if we sell assets ;
  • compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: 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 sales and marketing 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 for the year ended December 31, 2017, including the sections thereof captioned "Risk Factors" and "Forward Looking Statements," and in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov and www.tevapharm.com.
