Expenses in the third quarter of 2022 were mainly related to an update of the estimated settlement provision recorded in connection with the remaining opioid cases, and an estimated provision recorded for the claims brought by attorneys general representing states and territories throughout the U.S in the generic drug antitrust litigation. See note 10. 
In the first nine months of 2023, Teva recorded expenses of $1,009 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies, co
