Business Overview We are a global pharmaceutical company, committed to helping patients around the world to access affordable medicines and benefit from innovations to improve their health. Our mission is to be a global leader in generics, specialty medicines and biopharmaceuticals, improving the lives of patients. We operate worldwide, with headquarters inIsrael and a significant presence inthe United States ,Europe and many other markets around the world. Our key strengths include our world-leading generic medicines expertise and portfolio, focused specialty medicines portfolio and global infrastructure and scale. Teva was incorporated inIsrael onFebruary 13, 1944 and is the successor to a number of Israeli corporations, the oldest of which was established in 1901. Our Business Segments We operate our business through three segments:North America ,Europe and International Markets. Each business segment manages our entire product portfolio in its region, including generics, specialty and OTC products. This structure enables strong alignment and integration between operations, commercial regions, R&D and our global marketing and portfolio function, optimizing our product lifecycle across therapeutic areas. In addition to these three segments, we have other activities, primarily the sale of API to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliateMedis . The COVID-19 Pandemic As a leading global pharmaceutical company, Teva provides essential medicines to millions of patients around the world every day. Our priorities remain focused on the health and well-being of our employees and on our responsibility to continue to provide our medicines to the nearly 200 million patients who depend on us every day. Our industry plays a critical role, particularly during such challenging times. We are working with governments to do all they can, in partnership with our industry, to maintain the development, production, supply and distribution of high quality medicines for patients worldwide during this unprecedented global health crisis. Business Continuity The supply chain supporting our key products - specialty, generics and API - remains largely uninterrupted, and with adequate product inventory across our network. Additionally, based on analysis of potential scenarios, we currently have inventory and redundancy plans in place to address potential shortfalls, if any. We are closely monitoring the evolving situation in our key manufacturing locations and commercial markets, and are accordingly adapting our business continuity plans. All our facilities that research, manufacture, order, pack, distribute and provide critical customer and patient services are currently functioning to meet demand for essential medicines for patients throughout the world. Teva has worked since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to support efforts of governments and health services to curb the impact of the virus. Our global manufacturing network has been tirelessly focused on securing and scaling production of both API and finished doses for potential treatments that may prove essential in treating the condition nearly everywhere Teva does business. Teva will continue to work with governments and international organizations throughout the world to support emerging needs related to this crisis, while doing everything possible to also continue to supply our vast portfolio of medicines to patients. R&D and New Launches We do not expect a material impact on our ongoing clinical research programs and product launches as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time, we may experience delays in clinical trials due to cessation of recruitment for patient studies and suspended regulatory inspections, delays in regulatory approvals of new products due to reduced capacity or re-prioritization of regulatory agencies and delays in pre-commercial launch activities. All of our new product launches have been risk-assessed based on upcoming manufacturing and regulatory inspections. Workforce Policy and Measures Our employees across all aspects of our business are safeguarding the continuity of our activities and we are committed to supporting their efforts and caring for their personal health and safety. We are enacting appropriate measures to ensure the safe supply and transport of our medicines and APIs, and have established measures intended to ensure our sites remain open, allowing us to maintain our business, R&D and manufacturing operations. We have reduced the number of people in our facilities to only those who are essential and may not work remotely. By doing our part to reduce proximity to one another, we hope to better protect our overall workforce, and ultimately, the communities in which we live. 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents As we work through this health crisis, we are starting to plan our strategy for returning to usual operations at all organizational levels, under guiding principles to protect our business, maximize organizational productivity and efficiency while simultaneously ensuring a safe workplace. Trends We have limited insight into the extent to which our business may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and there are many unknowns facing our industry and society at large. At this stage of the pandemic, we are not experiencing material delays in development, production and distribution of medicines or disruptions in our supply chains; however, longer term affects cannot be predicted at this time and would depend on the duration and severity of the pandemic and the restrictive measures put in place to control its impact. We are experiencing increasing demand for certain medicines, as would be expected during a global crisis of this nature, and cannot assess whether such increased demand is the result of stocking by wholesalers or patients. Although no one can predict future demand for pharmaceutical products, market dynamics or the scope or duration of the financial and other challenges arising from the pandemic, it is possible that we will see a compensating effect during the remainder of the year, but we do not currently anticipate a material negative impact on our 2020 financial results due to the evolving global pandemic. Highlights Significant highlights in the first quarter of 2020 included:
• Revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were
5%, in both
quarter of 2019, mainly due to higher revenues from generics and OTC sales

and generic products. Profit increased by 10%, mainly due to the changes
in revenues described above.
• Our Europe segment generated revenues of
local currency terms, revenues increased by 13% compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to higher demand for certain products resulting from the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on purchasing patterns as well as continuing growth in generics
and new generic product launches, partially offset by price declines for
oncology products as a result of generic competition and a decline in COPAXONE revenues due to competing glatiramer acetate products. Profit increased by 25%, mainly due to higher revenues and lower expenses.

assets impairments, restructuring and other items in the first quarter of
2020. 41

• Financial expenses were
compared to
in the first quarter of 2020 were mainly comprised of interest expenses of
$241 million . Financial expenses in the first quarter of 2019 were mainly comprised of interest expenses of$227 million .
• In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized a tax benefit of
on pre-tax loss of$33 million . In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a tax expense of$9 million , on pre-tax loss of$84 million . Our tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was mainly affected by impairments in jurisdictions in which tax rates are higher than Teva's average tax rate on its ongoing business operations .
• Exchange rate movements between the first quarter of 2020 and the first
quarter of 2019, net of hedging, negatively impacted overall revenues by
$3 million and positively impacted operating income by$27 million . • As ofMarch 31, 2020 , our debt was$26,103 million , compared to
repayment at maturity of our
exchange rate fluctuations.
• Cash flow generated from operating activities during the first quarter of
2020 was
2019. This increase in cash flow in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly
due to higher operating profit in each of our three segments, as well as
lower performance incentive payments to employees paid in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the amounts paid in the first quarter of 2019. • During the first quarter of 2020, we generated free cash flow of
generated from operating activities,
collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and
in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets, partially offset by
investment. This increase compared to the first quarter of 2019, resulted
mainly from higher cash flow generated from operating activities, including significant consumption of inventories.

North America Revenues OurNorth America segment includesthe United States andCanada . Revenues from ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$2,082 million , an increase of$36 million , or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to an increase in revenues of AUSTEDO and Anda as well as a milestone payment related to our anti-CGRP intellectual property (see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements), partially offset by lower revenues from QVAR, BENDEKA/TREANDA, COPAXONE and generic products.

included under generic products.
Generic products revenues in ourNorth America segment (including biosimilars) in the first quarter of 2020 were$952 million , a decrease of 1% compared to the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was mainly due to price erosion in our product portfolio and lower royalty income, offset by an increase in revenues from launches of new products, including TRUXIMA and from our ProAir ® authorized generic due to higher demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Among the most significant generic products we sold inNorth America in the first quarter of 2020 were albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol (ProAir HFA authorized generic of our specialty product), epinephrine injectable solution (the generic equivalent of EpiPen ® and EpiPen Jr. ® ), TRUXIMA (the biosimilar to Rituxan ® ), lidocaine transdermal patch (the generic equivalent of Lidoderm Patch ® ) and amphetamine salt tablets (the generic equivalent of Adderall IR ® ). We launched HERZUMA for Injection (the biosomilar to Herceptin ® ) inthe United States inMarch 2020 . HERZUMA and TRUXIMA were also launched inCanada inJanuary 2020 andFebruary 2020 , respectively. OnMay 4, 2020 , TRUXIMA became available in theU.S. for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's Granulomatosis) and microscopic polyangiitis. In the first quarter of 2020, we led theU.S. generics market in total prescriptions and new prescriptions, with approximately 389 million total prescriptions (based on trailing twelve months), representing 10.4% of totalU.S. generic prescriptions according to IQVIA data. AJOVY ® revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$29 million , an increase of$9 million , or 44% compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to growth in volume in the first quarter of 2020. AJOVY was approved by the FDA and launched inthe United States inSeptember 2018 for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. OnJanuary 27, 2020 , the FDA approved an auto-injector device for AJOVY in theU.S. , which became commercially available inApril 2020 . In addition, AJOVY was approved inCanada onApril 14, 2020 . OnMay 12, 2017 , we entered into a license and collaboration agreement withOtsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Otsuka") providing Otsuka with an exclusive license to conduct phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for AJOVY inJapan and, once approved, to commercialize the product inJapan . Results for these trials were received inJanuary 2020 indicating that primary and secondary endpoints were achieved and that no clinically significant adverse events were observed in subjects. AJOVY is also in clinical development to evaluate safety and efficacy in the treatment of post traumatic headache and fibromyalgia. AJOVY is protected by patents expiring in 2026 inEurope and in 2027 inthe United States . Applications for patent term extensions have been submitted in various markets around the world. An additional patent relating to the use of AJOVY in the treatment of migraine is issued inthe United States and will expire in 2035. This patent is also pending in other countries. AJOVY will also be protected by regulatory exclusivity for 12 years from marketing approval inthe United States and 10 years from marketing approval inEurope . We have filed a lawsuit in theU.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Eli Lilly & Co.'s ("Lilly") marketing and sale of its galcanezumab product for the treatment of migraine infringes nine Teva patents. Lilly has also submitted IPR (inter partes review) petitions to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, challenging the validity of the nine patents asserted against it in the litigation. The litigation in the district court was stayed pending resolution of the IPR petitions. OnFebruary 18, 2020 , the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued decisions on the first six IPRs, finding the six patents invalid as being obvious. OnApril 21, 2020 , we filed notices of appeal in connection with these decisions. OnMarch 31, 2020 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a decision upholding the 3 method of treatment patents. The litigation stay ended following the issuance of the most recent IPR decisions, and the parties are proceeding with the litigation. In addition, we have entered into separate agreements withAlder Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lilly, resolving theEuropean Patent Office oppositions that they filed against our AJOVY patents. The settlement agreement with Lilly also resolved Lilly's action to revoke the patent protecting AJOVY in theUnited Kingdom . AUSTEDO revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 64%, to$122 million , compared to$74 million in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to growth in volume in the first quarter of 2020. InApril 2017 , AUSTEDO was approved by the FDA and launched inthe United States for the treatment of chorea associated withHuntington disease. InAugust 2017 , the FDA approved AUSTEDO for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia. We do not have further plans for the development of AUSTEDO for the treatment of Tourette syndrome in pediatric patients inthe United States , which was being developed under a partnership agreement withNuvelution Pharma, Inc. ("Nuvelution"), following clinical trial results received inFebruary 2020 , which failed to meet their primary endpoints. AUSTEDO is protected inthe United States by five Orange Book patents expiring between 2031 and 2033 and inEurope by two patents expiring in 2029. BENDEKA and TREANDA combined revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 14% to$105 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to the emergence of alternative novel therapies and continued competition from Belrapzo ® (a ready-to-dilute bendamustine hydrochloride product from Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Eagle")). 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents InJuly 2018 , Eagle prevailed in its suit against the FDA to obtain seven years of orphan drug exclusivity inthe United States for BENDEKA. OnMarch 13, 2020 , this decision was upheld in the appellate court. As a result, drug applications referencing BENDEKA, TREANDA or any other bendamustine product will not be approved by the FDA until the orphan drug exclusivity expires inDecember 2022 . It is unclear whether the FDA or the intervening generic defendants will further appeal this ruling. InApril 2019 , we signed an amendment to the license agreement with Eagle extending the royalty term applicable tothe United States to the full period for which we sell BENDEKA and increasing the royalty rate. In consideration, Eagle agreed to assume a portion of BENDEKA-related patent litigation expenses. InSeptember 2019 , a patent infringement action against four of the five ANDA filers for generic versions of BENDEKA was tried in theUnited States District Court for the District of Delaware . OnApril 27, 2020 , the District Court upheld the validity of all of the asserted patents and found that all four ANDA filers infringe these patents. As a result, the ANDA filers should be enjoined until these patents expire in 2031. Additionally, inJuly 2018 , Teva and Eagle filed suit againstHospira, Inc. ("Hospira") related to its 505(b)(2) new drug application ("NDA") referencing BENDEKA in theU.S. District Court for the District of Delaware . Hospira's 30-month stay expires inDecember 2020 . OnDecember 16, 2019 , theDelaware District Court dismissed the case against Hospira on all but one of the asserted patents, which expires in 2031. Trial against Hospira on that patent is scheduled to begin onNovember 15, 2021 . We haveU.S. Orange Book patents for TREANDA expiring between 2026 and 2031. One 505(b)(2) NDA was filed for a liquid version of bendamustine and 21 ANDAs were filed for generic versions of the lyophilized form of TREANDA. We have reached final settlements with all 22 filers, providing for the launch of generic versions of TREANDA prior to patent expiration. COPAXONE revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 5% to$198 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to generic competition inthe United States . The market for MS treatments continues to develop, particularly with the approvals of generic versions of COPAXONE discussed above, as well as additional generic versions expected to be approved in the future. Oral treatments for MS, such as Tecfidera ® , Gilenya ® and Aubagio ® , continue to present significant and increasing competition. COPAXONE also continues to face competition from existing injectable products, as well as from monoclonal antibodies, such as Ocrevus ® . ProAir revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$59 million , flat compared to the first quarter of 2019. InJanuary 2019 , we launched our own ProAir authorized generic inthe United States following the launch of a generic version of Ventolin ® HFA, another albuterol inhaler. Revenues from our ProAir HFA authorized generic are included in "generic products" above. ProAir is the fourth-largest short-acting beta-agonist in the market, with an exit market share of 15.5% (37.5% including our ProAir HFA authorized generic, making our overall albuterol product the largest in the market) in terms of total number of prescriptions for albuterol inhalers during the first quarter of 2020, compared to 27.6% in the first quarter of 2019. InJune 2014 , we settled a patent challenge to ProAir HFA with Perrigo Company plc ("Perrigo"), under which Perrigo is now permitted to launch its generic product. InFebruary 2020 , Perrigo obtained FDA approval of its generic product and announced initial release of limited supplies. InNovember 2017 , we settled another patent challenge to ProAir HFA withLupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Lupin"), et al. permitting Lupin to launch its generic product onSeptember 23, 2019 , or earlier under certain circumstances. QVAR revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 29% to$45 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to increased price competition and lower volumes. QVAR maintained its second-place position in the inhaled corticosteroids category inthe United States , with an exit market share of 20.8% in terms of total number of prescriptions during the first quarter of 2020, compared to 21.7% in the first quarter of 2019. Anda revenues in ourNorth America segment in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 13% to$426 million , compared to$379 million in the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to higher volume increases primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Anda, our distribution business inthe United States , distributes generic, specialty and OTC pharmaceutical products from various third party manufacturers to independent retail pharmacies, pharmacy retail chains, hospitals and physician offices inthe United States . Anda is able to compete in the secondary distribution market by maintaining high inventory levels for a broad offering of products, competitive pricing and offering next day delivery throughoutthe United States . 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Product Launches and Pipeline In the first quarter of 2020, we launched the generic version of the following branded products inNorth America : Total Annual U.S. Branded Sales at Time of Launch (U.S. $ in millions Launch (IQVIA)) Product Name Brand Name Date * Doxepin tablets, 3 mg & 6 mg Silenor ® January $ 50 HERZUMA ® (trastuzumab-pkrb) for injection, 150 mg/vial & 420 mg/vial Herceptin ®** March $ 3,042
* The figures presented are for the twelve months ended in the calendar
quarter immediately prior to our launch or
re-launch ** Biosimilar. Our generic products pipeline inthe United States includes, as ofMarch 31, 2020 , 242 product applications awaiting FDA approval, including 79 tentative approvals. This total reflects all pending ANDAs, supplements for product line extensions and tentatively approved applications and includes some instances where more than one application was submitted for the same reference product. Excluding overlaps, the branded products underlying these pending applications hadU.S. sales for the twelve months endedMarch 31, 2020 exceeding$119 billion , according to IQVIA. Approximately 70% of pending applications include a paragraph IV patent challenge, and we believe we are first to file with respect to 90 of these products, or 112 products including final approvals where launch is pending a settlement agreement or court decision. Collectively, these first to file opportunities represent over$77 billion inU.S. brand sales for the twelve months endedMarch 31, 2020 , according to IQVIA. IQVIA reported brand sales are one of the many indicators of future potential value of a launch, but equally important are the mix and timing of competition, as well as cost effectiveness. The potential advantages of being the first filer with respect to some of these products may be subject to forfeiture, shared exclusivity or competition from so-called "authorized generics," which may ultimately affect the value derived. In the first quarter of 2020, we did not receive any tentative approvals for generic equivalents. A "tentative approval" indicates that the FDA has substantially completed its review of an application and final approval is expected once the relevant patent expires, a court decision is reached, a 30-month regulatory stay lapses or a 180-day exclusivity period awarded to another manufacturer either expires or is forfeited.

Europe Revenues OurEurope segment includes theEuropean Union and certain other European countries. Revenues from ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$1,402 million , an increase of 11% or$138 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 13%, mainly due to higher demand for certain products resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on purchasing patterns as well as continuing growth in generics and new generic product launches, partially offset by price declines for oncology products as a result of generic competition and a decline in COPAXONE revenues due to competing glatiramer acetate products. Revenues by Major Products and Activities The following table presents revenues for ourEurope segment by major products and activities for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019: Three months ended Percentage March 31, Change 2020 2019 2019-2020 (U.S. $ in millions) Generic products$ 1,032 $ 919 12 % COPAXONE 109 114 (4 %) Respiratory products 106 91 16 % AJOVY 4 - NA Other 151 140 7 % Total$ 1,402 $ 1,264 11 % Generic products revenues in ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020, including OTC products, increased by 12% to$1,032 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 16% compared to the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to higher demand for certain products resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on purchasing patterns as well as continuing growth in generics and new generic product launches. We estimate that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on advanced purchasing patterns was approximately$100 million . COPAXONE revenues in ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 4% to$109 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 1%, mainly due to price reductions and a decline in volume resulting from competing glatiramer acetate products, partially offset by higher demand due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on purchasing patterns. COPAXONE 40 mg/mL is protected by one European patent expiring in 2030. This patent is being challenged in various European jurisdictions. InOctober 2017 , theU.K. High Court found this patent invalid and our application for permission to appeal this decision was rejected. The patent was upheld by theOpposition Division of the European Patent Office inApril 2019 . A hearing for an appeal in this case has been set forJune 2020 . 48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Respiratory products revenues in ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 16% to$106 million , compared to the first quarter of 2019. In local currency terms, revenues increased by 20%, mainly due to higher demand attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. AJOVY revenues in ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$4 million . AJOVY was granted a Marketing Authorization in theEuropean Union by theEuropean Medicines Agency ("EMA") in a centralized process inApril 2019 . We commenced launching AJOVY in certain European markets inMay 2019 and are moving forward with plans to launch in other European countries. InOctober 2019 , we received approval from the EMA for AJOVY's auto-injector submission in theEuropean Union and we commenced launch inMarch 2020 .

No applications are pending with the EMA. For information regarding our specialty pipeline and launches in the first quarter of 2020, see "-North America Segment -Product Launches and Pipeline" above. Europe Gross Profit Gross profit from ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 was$823 million , an increase of 13% compared to$730 million in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues, as discussed above. Gross profit margin for ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 increased to 58.7%, compared to 57.8% in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to a favorable mix of generic products and lower inventory write-offs. Europe R&D Expenses R&D expenses relating to ourEurope segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$55 million , a decrease of 17% compared to$66 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Gross profit margin for our International Markets segment in the first quarter of 2020 increased to 54.0%, compared to 51.7% in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher sales and the positive impact from the hedging activity discussed above. International Markets R&D Expenses R&D expenses relating to our International Markets segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$15 million , a decrease of 31% compared to$22 million in the first quarter of 2019. For a description of our R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2020, see "-Teva Consolidated Results-Research and Development (R&D) Expenses" below. International Markets S&M Expenses S&M expenses relating to our International Markets segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$106 million , a decrease of 8% compared to$115 million in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was mainly due to a decline in distribution fees paid inJapan . International Markets G&A Expenses G&A expenses relating to our International Markets segment in the first quarter of 2020 were$34 million , a decrease of 5% compared to$36 million in the first quarter of 2019. International Markets Profit Profit of our International Markets segment consists of gross profit less R&D expenses, S&M expenses, G&A expenses and any other income related to this segment. Segment profit does not include amortization and certain other items. Profit from our International Markets segment in the first quarter of 2020 was$156 million , an increase of 61%, compared to$97 million in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher sales and the positive impact from the hedging activity discussed above. Other Activities We have other sources of revenues, primarily the sale of APIs to third parties, certain contract manufacturing services and an out-licensing platform offering a portfolio of products to other pharmaceutical companies through our affiliateMedis . Our other activities are not included in ourNorth America ,Europe or International Markets segments described above. Our revenues from other activities in the first quarter of 2020 were$307 million , a decrease of 3% compared to the first quarter of 2019. In local currency terms, revenues decreased by 2%. API sales to third parties in the first quarter of 2020 were$177 million , a decrease of 5%, in bothU.S. dollar and local currency terms, compared to the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was mainly due to timing of certain orders and divestment of certain activities. Teva Consolidated Results The data presented with respect to revenues, gross profit, R&D expenses, S&M expenses, G&A expenses and operating income (loss) for prior periods have been revised to reflect a revision in the presentation of net revenues and cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements. See note 1c to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. Revenues Revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were$4,357 million , an increase of 5% in bothU.S. dollar and local currency terms, compared to the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher revenues from generics and OTC sales inEurope , higher revenues from AUSTEDO and Anda inNorth America and higher revenues from our International Markets segment, partially offset by lower revenues from generics in theU.S. and lower revenues from QVAR and BENDEKA/TREANDA inNorth America . See "-North America Revenues," "-Europe Revenues," "-International Markets Revenues" and "-Other Activities" above. Exchange rate movements during the first quarter of 2020, net of hedging, negatively impacted revenues by$3 million compared to the first quarter of 2019. See note 8d to our consolidated financial statements. 51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Gross Profit Gross profit in the first quarter of 2020 was$2,063 million , an increase of 11% compared to the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly a result of the factors discussed above under "-North America Gross Profit," "-Europe Gross Profit" and "-International Markets Gross Profit." Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 47.3% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 44.7% in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to higher profitability in each of our three segments, primarily higher revenues from AUSTEDO, a favorable mix of generic products inNorth America , a favorable mix of generic products inEurope and International Markets and a positive impact from our hedging activity, partially offset by higher revenues from Anda, which has lower profitability. Research and Development (R&D) Expenses Net R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were$221 million , a decrease of 15% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Our R&D activities for generic products in each of our segments include both (i) direct expenses relating to product formulation, analytical method development, stability testing, management of bioequivalence and other clinical studies and regulatory filings; and (ii) indirect expenses, such as costs of internal administration, infrastructure and personnel. Our R&D activities for specialty products in each of our segments include costs of discovery research, preclinical development, early- and late-clinical development and drug formulation, clinical trials and product registration costs. These expenditures are reported net of contributions received from collaboration partners. Our spending takes place throughout the development process, including (i) early-stage projects in both discovery and preclinical phases; (ii) middle-stage projects in clinical programs up to phase 3; (iii) late-stage projects in phase 3 programs, including where a new drug application is currently pending approval; (iv) life cycle management and post-approval studies for marketed products; and (v) indirect expenses that support our overall specialty R&D efforts but are not allocated by product or to specific R&D projects, such as the costs of internal administration, infrastructure and personnel. In the first quarter of 2020, our R&D expenses related primarily to specialty product candidates in the pain, migraine, headache and respiratory therapeutic areas, with additional activities in selected other areas and generic products. Our lower R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019, resulted primarily from the life cycle and stage of various projects. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5.1% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 6.3% in the first quarter of 2019. Selling and Marketing (S&M) Expenses S&M expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were$613 million , a decrease of 5% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Our S&M expenses were primarily the result of the factors discussed above under "-North America Segment- S&M Expenses," "-Europe Segment- S&M Expenses" and "-International Markets Segment- S&M Expenses." S&M expenses as a percentage of revenues were 14.1% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 15.6% in the first quarter of 2019. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses G&A expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were$304 million , an increase of 4% compared to the first quarter of 2019. G&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.0% in the first quarter of 2020, flat compared to the first quarter of 2019. Intangible Asset Impairments We recorded expenses of$649 million for identifiable intangible asset impairments in the first quarter of 2020, compared to expenses of$469 million in the first quarter of 2019. See note 5 to our consolidated financial statements. Goodwill Impairment No goodwill impairments were recorded in the first quarters of both 2020 and 2019. See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements. 52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Other Asset Impairments, Restructuring and Other Items We recorded expenses of$121 million for other asset impairments, restructuring and other items in the first quarter of 2020, compared to expenses of$1 million in the first quarter of 2019. See note 12 to our consolidated financial statements. Significant regulatory events InJuly 2018 , the FDA completed an inspection of our manufacturing plant inDavie, Florida inthe United States , and issued a Form FDA-483 to the site. InOctober 2018 , the FDA notified us that the inspection of the site is classified as "official action indicated" (OAI). OnFebruary 5, 2019 , we received a warning letter from the FDA that contained four additional enumerated concerns related to production, quality control and investigations at this site. We have been working diligently to address theFDA's concerns in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. An FDA follow up inspection occurred inJanuary 2020 , resulting in some follow up findings, and we received a letter from the FDA datedApril 24, 2020 notifying us that the site continues to be classified as OAI. If we are unable to remediate the findings to theFDA's satisfaction, we may face additional consequences. These would potentially include delays in FDA approval for future products from the site, financial implications due to loss of revenues, impairments, inventory write offs, customer penalties, idle capacity charges, costs of additional remediation and possible FDA enforcement action. We expect to generate approximately$230 million in revenues from this site in 2020, assuming remediation or enforcement does not cause any unscheduled slowdown or stoppage at the facility, however delays in FDA approvals of future products from the site may occur. InJuly 2018 , we announced the voluntary recall of valsartan and certain combination valsartan medicines in various countries due to the detection of trace amounts of a previously unknown nitrosamine impurity called NDMA found in valsartan API supplied to us byZhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. ("Huahai"). SinceJuly 2018 , we have been actively engaged with regulatory agency requests around the world in reviewing our sartan and other products to determine whether NDMA and/or other related nitrosamine impurities are present in specific products. Where necessary, we have initiated additional voluntary recalls. The aggregate direct impact of the sartan recalls on our 2018 and 2019 financial statements was$54 million , primarily related to inventory write-downs and returns. As a result of this loss, we initiated negotiations with Huahai and inDecember 2019 , we reached a settlement with Huahai resolving our claims related to certain sartan API supplied by Huahai to Teva. Under the settlement agreement, Huahai agreed to compensate Teva for some of the direct losses suffered by Teva and provide Teva prospective cost reductions for API. The settlement does not release Huahai from liability for any losses we may incur as a result of third party personal injury or product liability claims relating to the sartan API at issue. In addition, multiple lawsuits have been filed in connection with this matter, which may lead to additional customer penalties, impairments and litigation costs. We expect additional expenses and loss of revenues and profits in connection with this matter going forward. Restructuring In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded$39 million of restructuring expenses, compared to$32 million in the first quarter of 2019. The expenses in the first quarter of 2020 were primarily related to residual expenses of the restructuring plan announced in 2017. Legal Settlements and Loss Contingencies In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an income of$25 million in legal settlements and loss contingencies, compared to an expense of$57 million in the first quarter of 2019. The income in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to a settlement of an action brought against the sellers ofAuden McKenzie (an acquisition made by Actavis Generics). Other Income Other income in the first quarter of 2020 was$13 million , compared to$6 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating Income (Loss) Operating income was$191 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to operating income of$134 million in the first quarter of 2019. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 4.4% in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 3.2% in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher profit in ourEurope , International Markets andNorth America segments and income from legal settlements (compared to an expense in the first quarter of 2019), partially offset by higher intangible asset impairments and higher other assets impairments, restructuring and other items in the first quarter of 2020. Financial Expenses, Net Financial expenses were$224 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to$218 million in the first quarter of 2019. Financial expenses in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 were mainly comprised of interest expenses of$241 million and$227 million , respectively. 53 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following table presents a reconciliation of our segment profits to our consolidated operating income (loss) and to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019: Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 (U.S. $ in millions) North America profit$ 550 $ 498 Europe profit 502 403 International Markets profit 156 97 Total reportable segments profit 1,208 998 Profit of other activities 36 21 Total segments profit 1,244 1,019 Amounts not allocated to segments: Amortization 258

In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a tax expense of$9 million , on pre-tax loss of$84 million . Our tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was mainly affected by impairments in jurisdictions in which tax rates are higher than Teva's average tax rate on its ongoing business operations. The statutory Israeli corporate tax rate is 23% in 2020. Our tax rate differs from the Israeli statutory tax rate, mainly due to generation of profits in various jurisdictions in which tax rates are different than the Israeli tax rate, tax benefits inIsrael and other countries, as well as infrequent or nonrecurring items. Share In Losses (Income) of Associated Companies, Net Share in losses of associated companies, net in the first quarter of 2020 was$1 million , compared to$4 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net Income (Loss) Attributable toTeva Net income attributable to Teva and net income attributable to ordinary shareholders were$69 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to net loss of$105 million in the first quarter of 2019. Diluted Shares Outstanding and Earnings (Loss) per Share The weighted average diluted shares outstanding used for the fully diluted share calculation for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019 were 1,096 million and 1,090 million shares, respectively. In computing diluted earnings per share for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , basic earnings per share were adjusted to take into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and non-vested RSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans, using the treasury stock method. No account was taken of the potential dilution by the convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. In computing diluted loss per share for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 , no account was taken of the potential dilution by the assumed exercise of employee stock options and non-vested RSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans, and convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. 54 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Diluted earnings per share were$0.06 in the first quarter of 2020, compared to diluted loss per share of$0.10 in the first quarter of 2019. Share Count for Market Capitalization We calculate share amounts using the outstanding number of shares (i.e., excluding treasury shares) plus shares that would be outstanding upon the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs and performance share units ("PSUs") and the conversion of our convertible senior debentures, in each case, at period end. As ofMarch 31, 2020 and 2019, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,118 million and 1,107 million, respectively. Impact of Currency Fluctuations on Results of Operations In the first quarter of 2020, approximately 50% of our revenues were denominated in currencies other than theU.S. dollar. Because our results are reported inU.S. dollars, we are subject to significant foreign currency risks. Accordingly, changes in the rate of exchange between theU.S. dollar and the local currencies in the markets in which we operate (primarily the euro, British pound, Japanese yen, new Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar and Russian ruble) impact our results. During the first quarter of 2020, the following main currencies relevant to our operations decreased in value against theU.S. dollar (each on a quarterly average compared to quarterly average basis): Argentinian peso by 37%, euro by 3% and British pound by 2%. The following main currencies relevant to our operations increased in value against theU.S. dollar: new Israeli shekel by 4% and Japanese yen by 1%. As a result, exchange rate movements during the first quarter of 2020, net of hedging, negatively impacted overall revenues by$3 million and positively impacted our operating income by$27 million , in comparison with the first quarter of 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the positive hedging impact recognized under revenues was$60 million , partially offset by a$5 million negative impact recognized under cost of sales. 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. See note 8d to our consolidated financial statements. Commencing in the third quarter of 2018, the cumulative inflation inArgentina exceeded 100% or more over a three-year period. Although this triggered highly inflationary accounting treatment, it did not have a material impact on our results of operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Total balance sheet assets were$55,330 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$57,470 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . Our working capital balance, which includes accounts receivables net of SR&A, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payables, employee-related obligations, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, was$302 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$74 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . Employee-related obligations, as ofMarch 31, 2020 , were$540 million , compared to$693 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . The decrease in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to performance incentive payments to employees for 2019. Cash investment in property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2020 was approximately$128 million , compared to$119 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Depreciation in the first quarter of 2020 was$141 million , compared to$153 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments as ofMarch 31, 2020 were$1,850 million , compared to$2,033 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . The decrease in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to repayment at maturity of our$700 million 2.25% senior note inMarch 2020 , partially offset by cash generated during the quarter. Our cash on hand that is not used for ongoing operations is generally invested in bank deposits as well as liquid securities that bear fixed and floating rates. Our principal sources of short-term liquidity are our cash on hand, existing cash investments, liquid securities and available credit facilities, primarily our$2.3 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility entered into inApril 2019 ("RCF"). The RCF agreement provides for two separate tranches, a$1.15 billion tranche A and a$1.15 billion tranche B. Loans and letters of credit will be available from time to time under each tranche for Teva's general corporate purposes. Tranche A has a maturity date ofApril 8, 2022 , with two one-year extension options, of which$1.0 billion were extended toApril 8, 2023 . Tranche B has a maturity date ofApril 8, 2024 . 55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The RCF contains certain covenants, including certain limitations on incurring liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios, including the requirement to maintain compliance with a net debt to EBITDA ratio, which becomes more restrictive over time. The net debt to EBITDA ratio limit is 6.0x in the first and second quarters of 2020 and declines to 5.75x in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, and continues to gradually decline over the remaining term of the RCF. The RCF can be used for general corporate purposes, including repaying existing debt. As ofMarch 31, 2020 , no amounts were outstanding under the RCF. Based on current and forecasted results, we expect that we will not exceed the financial covenant thresholds set forth in the RCF within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. Under specified circumstances, including non-compliance with any of the covenants described above and the unavailability of any waiver, amendment or other modification thereto, we will not be able to borrow under the RCF. Additionally, violations of the covenants, under the above-mentioned circumstances, would result in an event of default in all borrowings under the RCF and, when greater than a specified threshold amount as set forth in each series of senior notes is outstanding, could lead to an event of default under our senior notes due to cross acceleration provisions. We expect that we will continue to have sufficient cash resources to support our debt service payments and all other financial obligations within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. Debt Balance and Movements As ofMarch 31, 2020 , our debt was$26,103 million , compared to$26,908 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . This decrease was mainly due to repayment at maturity of our$700 million 2.25% senior notes, as well as exchange rate fluctuations. InMarch 2020 , we repaid at maturity our$700 million 2.25% senior notes. Our debt as ofMarch 31, 2020 was effectively denominated in the following currencies: 64% inU.S. dollars, 33% in euros and 3% in Swiss francs. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as ofMarch 31, 2020 was 6%, compared to 9% as ofDecember 31, 2019 . Our financial leverage was 64% as ofMarch 31, 2020 , similar to the financial leverage as ofDecember 31, 2019 . Our average debt maturity was approximately 6.6 years as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to 6.4 years as ofDecember 31, 2019 . Total Equity Total equity was$14,588 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared to$15,063 million as ofDecember 31, 2019 . This decrease was mainly due to a negative impact of$560 million from exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate fluctuations affected our balance sheet, as approximately 36% of our net assets in the first quarter of 2020 (including both non-monetary and monetary assets) were in currencies other than theU.S. dollar. When compared toDecember 31, 2019 , changes in currency rates had a negative impact of$560 million on our equity as ofMarch 31, 2020 , mainly due to the changes in value against theU.S. dollar of: the Mexican peso by 26%, the Russian ruble by 28%, the Canadian dollar by 8%, the Polish zloty by 8%, the British pound by 6%, Indian rupee by 6%, the Chilean peso by 4%, Croatian kuna by 4% and the euro by 2%. All comparisons are on a quarter-end to quarter-end basis. Cash Flow Cash flow generated from operating activities during the first quarter of 2020 was$305 million , compared to$112 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to higher operating profit in each of our three segments, as well as lower performance incentive payments to employees paid in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the amounts paid in the first quarter of 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we generated free cash flow of$551 million , which we define as comprising$305 million in cash flow generated from operating activities,$368 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and$6 million in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by$128 million in cash used for capital investment. During the first quarter of 2019, we generated free cash flow of$360 million , comprising$112 million in cash flow generated from operating activities,$362 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables and$11 million in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, partially offset by$125 million in cash used for capital investment. The increase in the first quarter of 2020 resulted mainly from higher cash flow generated from operating activities, including significant consumption of inventories. Dividends We have not paid dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs sinceDecember 2017 . 56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Commitments In addition to financing obligations under short-term debt and long-term senior notes and loans, debentures and convertible debentures, our major contractual obligations and commercial commitments include leases, royalty payments, contingent payments pursuant to acquisition agreements and participation in joint ventures associated with R&D activities. InSeptember 2016 , we entered into an agreement to develop and commercialize Regeneron's pain medication product, fasinumab. We paid Regeneron$250 million upfront and will share equally with Regeneron in the global commercial benefits of this product, as well as ongoing associated R&D costs of approximately$1.0 billion . The agreement stipulates additional development milestone payments to Regeneron, as well as future royalties. InOctober 2016 , we entered into an exclusive partnership with Celltrion to commercialize two of Celltrion's biosimilar products in development for theU.S. and Canadian markets. We paid Celltrion$160 million , of which up to$60 million is refundable or creditable. We will share the profit from the commercialization of these products with Celltrion. These two products, TRUXIMA and HERZUMA, were approved by the FDA in November andDecember 2018 , respectively, and were launched inthe United States inNovember 2019 andMarch 2020 , respectively. InSeptember 2017 , we entered into a partnership agreement with Nuvelution for development of AUSTEDO for the treatment of Tourette syndrome in pediatric patients inthe United States . There are no further plans in this indication following clinical trial results received inFebruary 2020 , which failed to meet their primary endpoints. We are committed to pay royalties to owners of know-how, partners in alliances and certain other arrangements, and to parties that financed R&D at a wide range of rates as a percentage of sales of certain products, as defined in the agreements. In some cases, the royalty period is not defined; in other cases, royalties will be paid over various periods not exceeding 20 years. In connection with certain development, supply and marketing, and research and collaboration or services agreements, we are required to indemnify, in unspecified amounts, the parties to such agreements against third-party claims relating to (i) infringement or violation of intellectual property or other rights of such third party; or (ii) damages to users of the related products. Except as described in our financial statements, we are not aware of any material pending action that may result in the counterparties to these agreements claiming such indemnification. 2020 Aggregated Contractual Obligations There have not been any material changes in our assessment of material contractual obligations and commitments as set forth in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 . Supplemental Non-GAAP Income Data We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance, in conjunction with other performance metrics. The following are examples of how we utilize the non-GAAP measures:
• our management and Board of Directors use the
non-GAAP
measures to evaluate our operational performance, to compare against work
plans and budgets, and ultimately to evaluate the performance of management; • our annual budgets are prepared on a non-GAAP basis; and
• senior management's annual compensation is derived, in part, using these
non-GAAP measures. While qualitative factors and judgment also affect annual bonuses, the principal quantitative element in the determination of such
bonuses is performance targets tied to the work plan, which is based on
the non-GAAP presentation set forth below.
Non-GAAP
financial measures have no standardized meaning and accordingly have limitations in their usefulness to investors. We provide such non-GAAP data because management believes that such data provide useful information to investors. However, investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses our performance. The limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures are that they provide a view of our results of operations without including all events during a period and may not provide a comparable view of our performance to other companies in the pharmaceutical industry. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In arriving at our non-GAAP presentation, we exclude items that either have a non-recurring impact on the income statement or which, in the judgment of our management, are items that, either as a result of their nature or size, could, were they not singled out, potentially cause investors to extrapolate future performance from an improper base. In addition, we also exclude equity compensation expenses to facilitate a better understanding of our financial results, since we believe that such exclusion is important for understanding the trends in our financial results and that these expenses do not affect our business operations. While not all inclusive, examples of these items include: 57

Table of Contents • amortization of purchased intangible assets;
• legal settlements and/or loss contingencies, due to the difficulty in
predicting their timing and scope;
• impairments of long-lived assets, including intangibles, property, plant
and equipment and goodwill; • restructuring expenses, including severance, retention costs, contract
cancellation costs and certain accelerated depreciation expenses primarily
related to the rationalization of our plants or to certain other strategic
activities, such as the realignment of R&D focus or other similar activities;
• acquisition- or divestment- related items, including changes in contingent
consideration, integration costs, banker and other professional fees, inventory step-up and in-process R&D acquired in development arrangements; • expenses related to our equity compensation; • significant one-time financing costs and devaluation losses; • unusual tax items; • other awards or settlement amounts, either paid or received;
• other exceptional items that we believe are sufficiently large that their
exclusion is important to facilitate an understanding of trends in our
financial results, such as impacts due to changes in accounting,
significant costs for remediation of plants, such as inventory write-offs
or related consulting costs, or other unusual events; and • corresponding tax effects of the foregoing items. The following tables present supplemental non-GAAP data, inU.S. dollar, which we believe facilitates an understanding of the factors affecting our business. In these tables, we exclude the following amounts: 58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The following table presents the GAAP measures, related non-GAAP adjustments and the corresponding non-GAAP amounts for the applicable periods: Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2020 U.S. $ and shares in millions (except per share amounts) Excluded for non-GAAP measurement Amortization of Legal Costs related purchased settlements and Impairment Other to regulatory Other intangible loss of long lived R&D Restructuring actions taken Equity Contingent non- Other GAAP assets contingencies assets expenses costs in facilities compensation consideration GAAP items items Non-GAAP Cost of sales 2,294 223 4 6 15 2,046 R&D expenses 221 (4 ) 5 - 221 S&M expenses 613 35 9 - 570 G&A expenses 304 10 4 290 Other (income) expense (13 ) 0 (13 ) Legal settlements and loss contingencies (25 ) (25 ) - Other assets impairments, restructuring and other items 121 75 39 6 1 - Intangible assets impairments 649 649 - Financial expenses, net 224 11 213 Income taxes (59 ) (234 ) 175 Share in losses of associated companies - net 1 - 1 Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests (44 ) (63 ) 20 Total reconciled items 258 (25 ) 724 (4 ) 39 4 30 6 20 (286 ) EPS - Basic 0.06 0.70 0.76 EPS - Diluted 0.06 0.70 0.76 The non-GAAP

Table of Contents Non-GAAP Tax Rate Non-GAAP income taxes for the first quarter of 2020 were$175 million or 17%, on pre-tax non-GAAP income of$1,030 million . Non-GAAP income taxes in the first quarter of 2019 were$125 million , or 16%, on pre-tax non-GAAP income of$799 million . Our non-GAAP tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 was mainly affected by the mix of products we sold and lower interest expense disallowance compared to the first quarter of 2019. We expect our annual non-GAAP tax rate for 2020 to be 17%-18%, slightly lower than our non-GAAP tax rate for 2019, which was 18%. This is due to lower amounts of interest expense disallowance and other changes to tax positions and deductions. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Except for securitization transactions, which are disclosed in note 10(f) to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 , we do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
