Legal Settlements and Loss Contingencies
NOTE 9 – Legal settlements and loss contingencies:
In the first quarter of 2024, Teva recorded expenses of $106 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies, compared to $233 
million in the first quarter of 2023. Expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were mainly related to an update to the estimated settlement provision for the opioid cases (mainly the effect of the passage of time on the net present value of the discounted payments), as well as an update to the estimated provision for the U.S. DOJ patient assistance program litigation. Expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were mainly related to estimated provisions recorded in connection with the U.S. DOJ patient assistance program litigation and the reverse-payment antitrust litigation over certain HIV medicines, as well as an update to the estimated settlement provision related to the remaining opioid cases (mainly the effect of the passage of time on the net present value of the discounted payments).
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Teva’s provision for legal settlements and loss contingencies recorded under accrued expenses and other taxes and long-term liabilities was $4,669 million and $4,771 million, respectively.
