Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations of Teva. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q

should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Amounts as of December 31, 2019 were derived from the audited balance sheet at that date, but not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are included.

In the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The inputs into Teva’s judgments and estimates also consider the economic implications of the

COVID-19

pandemic on its critical and significant accounting estimates, most significantly in relation to sales, reserves and allowances, IPR&D assets, marketed product rights and goodwill, all of which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning the

COVID-19

pandemic and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on Teva’s employees, third-party manufacturers and suppliers, customers and markets. All estimates made by Teva related to the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic within its financial statements may change in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not add up due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Significant accounting policies

Change in the annual goodwill assessment date

The Company has historically performed its annual goodwill assessment during the fourth quarter of each year. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company decided to change the date of its annual impairment assessment from October 1 to June 30. The change was made to more closely align the impairment assessment date with the Company’s long-term planning and forecasting process. See note 6.

unit-of-account

guidance in ASC 808 to align with guidance in ASC 606 and (iii) precludes presenting revenue from a collaborative arrangement together with revenue recognized under ASC 606 if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.

software (Subtopic

350-40):

software. Teva applied the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of

adoption. Teva adopted the provisions of this update as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

“Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic

470-20)

and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40).” This guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments to this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU

“Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (the “update”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions in ASC 740: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (2) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; (3) exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (4) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a

year-to-date

loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.

In addition, the update also simplifies the accounting for income taxes in certain topics as follows: (1) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a

non-income-based

tax; (2) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specifying that an entity can elect (rather than be required to) allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and (4) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 revenues from its Israeli distribution business on a gross basis, although it should have reported such revenues on a net basis. Because Teva has no discretion in establishing prices for any specified 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 cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income for the relevant periods:


		Net revenues							Cost of sales
		As reported		Adjustment			As revised		As reported		Adjustment			As revised
