In the first quarter of 2022, Teva recorded expenses of $1,124 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies, compared to $104 million in the first quarter of 2021. The expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were mainly related to an update of the estimated settlement provision recorded in connection with the remaining opioid cases. The expenses in the first quarter of 2021 were mainly due to the provision for the carvedilol patent litigation.
