Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
NOTE 8 – Derivative instruments and hedging activities:
a. Foreign exchange risk management:
In the first nine months of 2022, approximately
47
% of Teva’s revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, Teva is subject to significant foreign currency risks.
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and purchases and writes options in order to hedge the currency exposure on balance sheet items, revenues and expenses. In addition, the Company takes measures to reduce exposure by using natural hedging. The Company also acts to offset risks in opposite directions among the subsidiaries within Teva. The currency hedged items are usually denominated in the following main currencies: euro, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Polish zloty, new Israeli shekel, Indian rupee and other currencies. Depending on market conditions, foreign currency risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency debt.
The Company may choose to hedge against possible fluctuations in foreign subsidiaries net assets (“net investment hedge”) and has in the past entered into cross-currency swaps and forward-contracts in order to hedge such an exposure.
Most of the counterparties to the derivatives are major banks and the Company is monitoring the associated inherent credit risks. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes.
b. Interest risk management:
The Company raises capital through various debt instruments, including senior notes, sustainability-linked senior notes, bank loans, convertible debentures and syndicated revolving credit facility that bear a fixed or variable interest rate. In some cases, the Company has swapped from a fixed to a variable interest rate (“fair value hedge”) and from a fixed to a fixed interest rate with an exchange from a currency other than the functional currency (“cash flow hedge”), thereby reducing overall interest expenses or hedging risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.
 
c. Bifurcated embedded derivatives:
Upon issuance of sustainability-linked senior notes, Teva recognized embedded derivatives related to interest rate adjustments and a potential
one-time
premium payment upon failure to achieve certain sustainability performance targets, such as access to medicines in
low-to-middle-income
countries and absolute greenhouse gas emissions reduction, which were bifurcated and are accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of these derivative instruments is negligible.

(1)
Teva uses foreign exchange contracts (mainly option and forward contracts) to hedge balance sheet items from currency exposure. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. In connection with these foreign exchange contracts, Teva recognizes gains or losses that offset the revaluation of the balance sheet items also recorded under financial expenses, net.
(2)
Teva entered into option and forward contracts designed to limit the exposure of foreign exchange fluctuations on projected revenues and expenses recorded in euro, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar
, Polish zloty
and some other currencies to protect its projected operating results for 202
2
and 202
3
. These derivative instruments do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, however, they are accounted for as an economic hedge. These derivative instruments, which may include hedging transactions against future projected revenues and expenses, are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value on a quarterly basis, while the foreign exchange impact on the underlying revenues and expenses may occur in subsequent quarters. In the first nine months of 2022, the positive impact from these derivatives recognized under revenues was $69 million. In the first nine months of 2021, the positive impact from these derivatives recognized under revenues was $29 million. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the same line item in the statements of income as the underlying exposure being hedged. The cash flows associated with these derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements
of
cash flows.
e. Amortizations due to terminated derivative instruments:
Forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements
In 2015, Teva entered into forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements to protect the Company from interest rate fluctuations in connection with a future debt issuance the Company was planning. These forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements were terminated in July 2016 upon the debt issuance. The termination of these transactions resulted in a loss position of $
493
 million, which was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is amortized under financial expenses, net over the life of the debt.
With respect to these forward starting interest rate swaps and treasury lock agreements, losses of $8 million were recognized under financial expenses, net for each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and losses of $22 million and $24 million were recognized under financial expenses, net for each of
the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Fair value hedge
In the third quarter of 2016, Teva terminated interest rate swap agreements designated as a fair value hedge relating to its 2.95% senior notes due 2022 with respect to $844 million notional amount and its 3.65% senior notes due 2021 with respect to $450 million notional amount. Settlement of these transactions resulted in a gain position of $41 million. The fair value hedge accounting adjustments of these instruments, which are recorded under senior notes and loans, are amortized under financial expenses, net over the life of the debt
as
additional interest expense.

In the third quarter of 2019, Teva terminated $500 million interest rate swap agreements designated as a fair value hedge relating to its 2.8% senior notes due 2023 with respect to $3,000 million notional amount. Settlement of these transactions resulted in cash proceeds of $10 million. The fair value hedge accounting adjustments of these instruments, which are recorded under senior notes and loans,
are
amortized under financial expenses,
net
over the life of the debt.

 
With respect to the interest rate swap and cross-currency swap agreements, gains of $1 million were recognized under financial expenses, net for each of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and gains of $3 million and $2 million were recognized under financial expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
