Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2021 as a result of adopting this standard update. The Company has completed negotiations to transform the facility base rate of its securitization program and is continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark on its interest rate risk management activities. However, it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (the “update”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the following exceptions in ASC 740: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items; (2) exception to accounting for basis differences for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; and (3) exception to accounting for basis differences for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and (4) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.

In addition, the update also simplifies the accounting for income taxes in certain topics as follows: (1) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; (2) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specifying that an entity can elect (rather than be required to) allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax

in its separate financial statements; and (4) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. Teva adopted the provisions of this update as of January 1, 2021. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the above provisions, the Company notes that items (1) and (4) of this paragraph are not material. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40).” This guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments to this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
