Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale:
General
Assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2025, mainly included Teva’s API business. Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2024, included mainly Teva’s API business and Teva’s business venture in Japan.
On December 31, 2024, Teva classified its API business (including its R&D, manufacturing and commercial activities) as held for sale. The intention to divest is in alignment with Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy. On November 5, 2025, Teva announced that exclusive discussions with a selected buyer on the sale have terminated. Teva has initiated a renewed sales process, maintaining its strategic intention to divest its API business. However, there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing or structure of a potential divestiture or whether a divestiture will be agreed or completed at all.
In connection with the
held for sale classification of Teva’s API business, in
2025
 Teva recorded expenses of $
8
 
million in other assets impairments, restructuring and other items. See note 15.
 
 
On March 31, 2025, Teva divested its business venture in Japan, for which Teva recorded a marginal gain in the first quarter of 2025.
 
Teva has elected the accounting policy to include the currency translation adjustment related to the disposal group as part of the asset carrying amount.
The Company has determined that the intended divestiture of its businesses does not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and therefore it did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations classification.
