Teva Pharmaceutical Reports $3.891 Billion Revenue in Q1 2025, 2% Year-Over-Year Increase

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. reported a net revenue of $3.891 billion for the first quarter of 2025, marking a 2% increase from $3.819 billion in the same period last year. The company's gross profit rose to $1.877 billion, up 6% from $1.771 billion, resulting in a gross profit margin of 48.2%, compared to 46.4% in the prior year. Teva's operating income was $519 million, a significant recovery from an operating loss of $218 million in the first quarter of 2024. The company attributed this improvement to higher revenues from its innovative products, particularly AUSTEDO and UZEDY, as well as increased sales of generic products across all segments.

In terms of segment performance, the United States segment generated $1.910 billion in revenue, an 11% increase year-over-year, with a segment profit of $532 million, up 52%. Conversely, the Europe segment saw revenues decline by 6% to $1.194 billion, with a segment profit decrease of 22% to $329 million. The International Markets segment reported revenues of $582 million, a 2% decrease, with a segment profit of $97 million, down 17%. The overall decline in the Europe and International Markets segments was attributed to regulatory price reductions and increased competition, particularly for off-patented products.

Teva's strategic developments included the completion of the divestiture of its business venture in Japan, which was finalized on March 31, 2025. This move aligns with the company's "Pivot to Growth" strategy, aimed at optimizing operations and focusing on high-value activities. The company also reported a decrease in total debt to $16.651 billion from $17.783 billion at the end of 2024, primarily due to the repayment of senior notes. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $1.697 billion, down from $3.300 billion at the end of the previous year.

Operationally, Teva's total employee count was approximately 37,000 across 57 markets. The company reported a total of 273 million prescriptions in the U.S. for the trailing twelve months, representing a 7.1% share of total U.S. generic prescriptions. Teva's R&D expenses for the quarter were $247 million, a slight increase from $242 million in the previous year, reflecting ongoing investments in innovative product candidates and biosimilars.

Looking ahead, Teva anticipates continued growth driven by its innovative portfolio and strategic partnerships. The company remains focused on optimizing its operations and capital allocation to enhance profitability. However, it also faces challenges from fluctuating foreign exchange rates and geopolitical tensions, particularly in regions where it operates. Teva's management expressed confidence in navigating these challenges while executing its growth strategy.
