U.S. FDA Grants Priority Review to BeOne Medicines’ TEVIMBRA in First-Line HER2+ GEA

On April 29, 2026 BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, reported that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Priority Review to a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab) in combination with ZIIHERA (zanidatamab) and chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced/metastatic HER2-positive (HER2) gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. The FDA has also granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to the regimen of ZIIHERA in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, with and without TEVIMBRA, in this indication.

Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors, BeOne Medicines, said:

"HERIZON‑GEA‑01 has the potential to shift the treatment paradigm in this historically difficult-to-treat disease, with the TEVIMBRA-containing arm demonstrating an unprecedented 26-month survival benefit. The FDA’s Priority Review designation is a major milestone in our effort to bring better first‑line options to patients with HER2‑positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. We will work in partnership with regulators to support the review process, with the aim of rapidly bringing this new treatment option to patients."

Data supporting sBLA filing

The sBLA submission is based on the first interim analysis (IA1) of HERIZON-GEA-01, a global Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, with and without TEVIMBRA, compared with the control arm of trastuzumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced/metastatic HER2+ GEA. Key findings of the trial include:

Overall survival (OS): The arm in which TEVIMBRA was added to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy resulted in a statistically significant improvement in OS (median OS of 26.4 months) at IA1. The ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy arm achieved a median OS of 24.4 months and the control arm resulted in a median OS of 19.2 months.
Progression-free survival (PFS): Both ZIIHERA-containing arms delivered a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in median PFS of 12.4 months compared with 8.1 months in the control arm.
Improvement in OS and PFS was observed regardless of PD-L1 status.
The safety findings for the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm were generally consistent with the known effects of the components of the combination regimen, and no new safety signals were identified.
Project Orbis pathway

BeOne plans to participate in the FDA’s Project Orbis, an initiative that provides a framework for collaborative review of oncology products among international partners, for the submission of the HERIZON-GEA-01 data in territories in which BeOne holds the ZIIHERA license. With this pathway, BeOne aims to accelerate approval and patient access to this treatment, recognizing the global significance of the HERIZON‑GEA‑01 results, which demonstrated meaningful survival improvements in a disease where outcomes have remained largely unchanged for more than a decade.

About the HERIZON-GEA-01 Phase 3 Trial

HERIZON-GEA-01 (NCT05152147) is a global, randomized, open-label Phase 3 trial, conducted jointly with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, with and without TEVIMBRA, to the standard of care (trastuzumab plus chemotherapy) as first-line treatment for adult patients with advanced/metastatic HER2+ GEA. The trial randomized 914 patients from approximately 300 trial sites in more than 30 countries. Patients for this trial had unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2+ GEA (adenocarcinomas of the stomach or esophagus, including the gastroesophageal junction), defined as 3+ HER2 expression by IHC or 2+ HER2 expression by IHC with ISH positivity per central assessment. Patients were randomized to the three trial arms: ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy and TEVIMBRA; ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy; and trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. The trial is evaluating dual primary endpoints, PFS per blinded independent central review (BICR) and OS.

About Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), which includes cancers of the stomach, gastroesophageal junction, and esophagus, is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Approximately 20% of GEA patients have HER2-positive disease1,2,3, which has high morbidity and mortality, and patients are urgently in need of new treatment options. The overall prognosis for patients with GEA remains poor, with a global five-year survival rate of less than 30% for gastric cancer and about 19% for GEA.4

About ZIIHERA (zanidatamab)

ZIIHERA (zanidatamab) is a bispecific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab with HER2 results in internalization leading to a reduction in HER2 expression of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.5

Zanidatamab is being developed in multiple clinical trials as a targeted treatment option for patients with solid tumors that express HER2. Zanidatamab is approved in China for the treatment of patients who have unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HER2-high expression (IHC 3+) biliary tract cancer (BTC) and who have received prior systemic therapy. ZIIHERA has also been granted accelerated approval in the U.S. and conditional marketing authorization in the European Union for eligible BTC patients. Zanidatamab is being developed by Jazz and BeOne under license agreements from Zymeworks, which first developed the molecule. BeOne has licensed zanidatamab from Zymeworks in Asia (excluding India and Japan), Australia and New Zealand. Jazz Pharmaceuticals has rights in all other regions.

ZIIHERA is a registered trademark of Zymeworks BC Inc.

About TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab)

TEVIMBRA is a uniquely designed humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity against PD-1. It is designed to minimize binding to Fc-gamma (Fcγ) receptors on macrophages, helping to aid the body’s immune cells to detect and fight tumors.

TEVIMBRA is the foundational asset of BeOne’s solid tumor portfolio and has shown potential across multiple tumor types and disease settings. The global TEVIMBRA clinical development program includes more than 15,000 patients enrolled to date in 30+ countries and regions across 72 trials, including 22 registration-enabling studies. TEVIMBRA is approved in 50 countries, and more than 1.9 million patients have been treated globally.

Select Important Safety Information

Serious and sometimes fatal adverse reactions occurred with TEVIMBRA treatment. Warnings and precautions include severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions, including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, dermatologic adverse reactions, nephritis with renal dysfunction, and solid organ transplant rejection. Other warnings and precautions include infusion-related reactions, complications of allogeneic HSCT, and embryo-fetal toxicity.

* Excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets

•The increase in first quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was driven primarily by product mix.

•The increase in first quarter 2026 GAAP R&D expense was primarily driven by approximately $57 million of step-up amortization related to SKYCLARYS inventory as well as increased investment in late-stage programs including litifilimab and felzartamab. The increase in first quarter 2026 Non-GAAP R&D expense was primarily driven by increased investment in late-stage programs including litifilimab and felzartamab.

•The increase in first quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP SG&A was primarily driven by investments to support product launches.

•First quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP acquired IPR&D, upfront and milestone expense was $34 million.
Other Financial Highlights

•First quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP collaboration profit sharing was a net expense of approximately $74 million, which includes approximately $57 million related to Biogen’s collaboration with Samsung Bioepis, and approximately $17 million related to Biogen’s collaboration with Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the commercialization of ZURZUVAE in the U.S.

•First quarter 2026 GAAP other expense was approximately $20 million driven by net interest expense partially offset by net unrealized gains on equity securities. First quarter 2026 Non-GAAP other expense was approximately $42 million primarily driven by net interest expense.

•First quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates were 15.4% and 15.3%, respectively. First quarter 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates were 22.7% and 19.4%, respectively. The year over year decrease in the Non-GAAP effective tax rate was due to favorable impacts from a foreign tax settlement and vesting of certain share-based awards partly offset by the increase in U.S. taxation on foreign earnings in 2026 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Financial Position

•First quarter 2026 net cash flow from operations was approximately $646 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $51 million, and free cash flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, was approximately $594 million.

•As of March 31, 2026, Biogen had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $4.7 billion and approximately $6.3 billion in total debt, resulting in net debt of approximately $1.5 billion.

•For the first quarter of 2026 the Company’s weighted average diluted shares were approximately 148 million.
Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

Biogen is updating its guidance for full year 2026 to reflect an approximately $1.00 impact from acquired IPR&D charges resulting from ongoing business development activities to support Biogen’s growth strategy. This comprises approximately $0.20 recorded in the first quarter and approximately $0.80 expected in the second quarter. This updated guidance excludes the anticipated Apellis transaction. Full year 2026 Non-GAAP diluted EPS range is expected as follows:
Full Year 2026 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS
Prior Guidance (February 2026) $15.25 to $16.25
Approx. impact from acquired IPR&D charges recorded in Q1 and expected in Q2 2026*
(Excluding the Apellis transaction)
($1.00)
Updated Guidance $14.25 to $15.25

*Includes an expected approximately $0.55 Non-GAAP diluted EPS impact from the deal with TJ Biopharma for felzartamab Greater China region rights and an additional $0.25 Non-GAAP diluted EPS impact from a milestone expected to occur in the second quarter of 2026.

Total revenue is expected to decline by a mid-single digit percentage for 2026 as compared to 2025 as further declines in multiple sclerosis product revenue, excluding VUMERITY, are expected to be partially offset by increases in revenue from growth products.

For full year 2026 as compared to full year 2025, Biogen expects the gross margin percentage, and combined Non-GAAP R&D expense and Non-GAAP SG&A expense to be roughly consistent year-over-year. Biogen expects full year 2026 Non-GAAP effective tax rate to be between approximately 17% and 18%.

This guidance also assumes that foreign exchange rates as of April 24, 2026, will remain in effect for the remainder of the year, net of hedging activities.

Other than the acquired IPR&D impact expressly stated above, this financial guidance does not include any other potential future acquired IPR&D charges, impact from potential acquisitions or business development transactions or pending and future litigation or any impact of potential healthcare reform, as all are difficult to predict. Other important financial considerations will be provided on the conference call and webcast.

Biogen may incur charges, realize gains or losses, or experience other events or circumstances in 2026 that could cause any of these assumptions and expectations to change and/or actual results to vary from this financial guidance.

Biogen does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of items such as the transaction, integration, and certain other costs related to acquisitions or large business development transactions; unusual gains and losses; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses from equity security investments; and the ultimate outcome of pending or future litigation. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company’s earnings conference call for the first quarter will be broadcast via the internet at 8:00 a.m. ET on April 29, 2026 and will be accessible through the Investors section of Biogen’s website, www.biogen.com. Supplemental information in the form of a slide presentation is also accessible at the same location on the internet and will be subsequently available on the website for at least 90 days.

Transgene Provides Business and Financial Update for Q1 2026

On April 29, 2026 Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, reported a business update on its myvac platform, and its individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine (INTV) TG4050, and upcoming plans, including its financial position as of March 31, 2026.

TG4050, Transgene’s first INTV from its myvac platform continues to progress according to plan in the adjuvant treatment of head and neck cancer

TG4050 is designed to stimulate a strong and individualized immune response aimed at preventing relapse in HPV-negative head and neck cancer (HNSCC1) patients following surgery and adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy. It is currently under evaluation in a randomized multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT04183166).

As a monotherapy, TG4050 met all trial endpoints in the Phase 1 part of the trial and induced long-lasting immune responses to individualized vaccine neoantigens that were sustained for up to two years after treatment initiation. All patients treated were disease-free at 2 years, providing robust clinical proof of principle.

A comprehensive analysis of these positive clinical and translational data from the Phase 1 part of the randomized Phase 1/2 trial of TG4050 was published on the preprint platform medRxiv, in January 2026 (see press release). The data suggest that individualized treatment with TG4050 has the potential to prevent cancer relapses. The article is under review by a peer-reviewed journal. These data have also been presented orally at the World Vaccine Congress (WVC) (see press release).

3-year disease-free survival (DFS) follow-up of Phase 1 patients is expected in Q2/Q3 2026.
Transgene announced that the randomization of the Phase 2 part of the Phase 1/2 trial for adjuvant treatment of HNSCC has been completed (see press release).

The primary endpoint of the trial is 2-year DFS. Transgene expects to communicate these top-line results by the end of Q1 2028.
Early April 2026, Transgene and NEC Bio signed a license agreement to advance the clinical development of TG4050 in head and neck cancer (see press release). Transgene secures access to NEC’s AI-based neoantigen prediction platform, as well as rights to enable TG4050’s further clinical development and to support commercialization and potential partnering of the program. Under this agreement, Transgene has paid a technology access fee of €2.5 million in Transgene shares as well as a first tranche of €0.5 million from a total payment of a total €2.5 million in cash that will be paid out in several instalments through early 2028. Additional development and milestone payments will be paid upon progress of the clinical development of TG4050 in head and neck cancer.

Expanding the value of the myvac platform

Transgene’s INTV platform, myvac, has the potential to generate INTVs that could be used to improve treatment across a range of solid tumors where in many cases a significant unmet medical need remains.

In parallel with the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial in HNSCC, Transgene is progressing with start-up activities for a new Phase 1 trial in a second indication in an early treatment setting, with the aim of initiating later in 2026, as soon as all conditions are met.
To further enhance value and unlock the full potential of the myvac platform, Transgene continues to invest in the optimization of the manufacturing of its INTV candidates, with the aim of reducing turnaround time, enabling scalability and increasing capacity.

Operating revenue and financial visibility

During the first quarter of 2026, operating revenue amounted to €1.4 million compared to €2.5 million for the same period in 2025. It mostly comprised the research tax credit of €1.1 million compared to €2.3 million for the same period in 2025. In Q1 2025, eligible activities against which research tax credit could be claimed comprised manufacturing for the patients in the Phase 2 part of the TG4050 trial in HNSCC; most of these manufacturing activities were completed in Q1 2026, explaining the decrease of the RTC.

As of March 31, 2026, Transgene had €103.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and other financial assets, compared to €111.9 million as of December 31, 2025. Over the first quarter of 2026, Transgene’s net cash burn2 was €8.1 million compared to €14.8 million for the same period in 2025.

Under current plans, the company has sufficient cash to ensure financial visibility until early 2028.

Teva Delivers Strong Q1 2026 Results Driven by Innovative Portfolio Growth and Disciplined Execution

On April 29, 2026 Teva reported Strong Q1 2026 Results Driven by Innovative Portfolio Growth and Disciplined Execution.

Q1 2026 revenues of ~$4.0 billion increased by 2% in U.S. dollars year-over-year (YoY), and decreased by 3% in local currency terms (LC). Excluding the Japan business venture (BV) results, revenues decreased by 1% in LC. These strong first quarter results were driven by our innovative portfolio growth and disciplined execution, even with lower revenues from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid) due to increased generic competition in the U.S.
Key Innovative brands continued to drive growth and provide value for patients, while transforming Teva’s portfolio mix and financial profile:
AUSTEDO continued to show strong growth, with global revenues of $578 million, growing 41% YoY in LC.
AJOVY global revenues of $196 million, increased by 35% YoY in LC.
UZEDY revenues of $63 million, increased by 62% YoY in LC. Fastest growing long-acting injectable (LAI)1 has nearly doubled the overall risperidone market since launch.
Collectively these brands’ revenues grew by 41% YoY in LC.
Generics revenues are lower in Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025, mainly due to lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid) impact; Biosimilar portfolio increasingly important contributor to performance and on track to deliver $800 in revenues by 2027:
Global generics revenues decreased by 16% YoY in LC, mainly due to lower revenues from generic products in the U.S., primarily lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid) due to increased generic competition in the U.S., and the divestment of the business venture in Japan in Q1 2025.
Biosimilar PONLIMSI, received FDA-approval across all indications of the reference product, Prolia (denosumab) and our biosimilar candidate to Xolair (omalizumab) was accepted for review by U.S. FDA and EU EMA (link).
Innovative late-stage pipeline continued to drive transformation:
Four innovative product submissions targeted over the next 5 years.
duvakitug (anti-TL1A) Phase 2b maintenance data demonstrated clinically meaningful durable efficacy in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD); Phase 2b induction data have been accepted for future publication in a leading journal; Phase 3 enrollment currently on target.
olanzapine LAI New Drug Application (NDA) accepted by the FDA in February 2026 for once-monthly treatment of schizophrenia in adults; preparing for the launch of olanzapine LAI in Q4 2026, subject to regulatory approval. EU marketing authorization application (MAA) acceptance expected in Q2 2026.
Teva to acquire Emalex Biosciences, adding NDA-Ready, first-in-class therapy to neuroscience pipeline and accelerating Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, and is currently anticipated to close by the third quarter of 2026 (link).
Continuing to transform and modernize our business through Teva Transformation programs – combined with innovative product growth, expected to achieve 30% non-GAAP operating income margin by 2027. On track to deliver ~$700 million of net savings by 2027.
Teva’s Board of Directors instructed management to plan for a share repurchase program that may be implemented, subject to meeting applicable legal requirements. Execution will be subject to certain factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth in alignment with the Company’s Pivot to Growth strategy, and are subject to the approval by Teva’s Board of Directors.

1 IQVIA Monthly NPA, March 2026 MAT vs PY

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Mr. Richard Francis, Teva’s President and CEO, said: "Our first quarter results are driven by strong growth in our key innovative products, continuing to shift Teva’s portfolio mix and support improvement in its financial profile. These results reflect disciplined execution of our Pivot to Growth strategy, and our focus remains unchanged: growing our innovative portfolio, improving margins and advancing key value-unlocking portfolio milestones expected during 2026 and beyond.

Mr. Francis added, "In parallel, biosimilars are becoming an increasingly important growth contributor, alongside new product launches in generics, reinforcing the foundational importance of Teva’s generic powerhouse.

Pivot to Growth Strategy

In the first quarter of 2026, we continued to execute on the four key pillars of our "Pivot to Growth" strategy, announced in May 2023:

Delivering on our growth engines – Teva’s key innovative brands delivered strong performance. In Q1 2026, AUSTEDO, AJOVY, and UZEDY revenues collectively grew by 41% YoY in LC to $838 million compared to Q1 2025. Based on our 2026 Outlook, these products are expected to generate an annual 4-year compound growth rate of ~38% and comprise ~21% of Teva’s total revenues.
Stepping up innovation – We continued to advance our innovative late-stage pipeline. In February 2026, we shared topline results from the maintenance period of our Phase 2b study of duvakitug in UC and CD. The data demonstrated robust, durable efficacy over the course of 44 weeks, and positions duvakitug to potentially be the "best-in-class" anti-TL1A. Phase 3 enrollment is currently on target. Teva’s NDA for olanzapine LAI was accepted by the FDA in February 2026. Teva is preparing for the anticipated launch of olanzapine LAI in Q4 2026, subject to receiving regulatory approval. During the remainder of 2026, Teva expects meaningful data updates on five other key innovative programs, including: emrusolmin in MSA, IL-15 (TEV-‘408) in Celiac disease and vitiligo, DARI (Dual-action Asthma Rescue Inhaler) in asthma, and Anti-PD-1/IL-2 in oncology.
Sustaining our generics powerhouse – Recently launched biosimilars, including SELARSDI (ustekinumab-aekn) the biosimilar to Stelara and EPYSQLI(eculizumab-aagh) the biosimilar to Soliris, along with the rest of our biosimilar portfolio, showed continued strong growth in the Q1 2026. In March 2026, PONLIMSI (denosumab-adet) has been approved by the FDA as a biosimilar to Prolia, and Teva’s applications for a proposed biosimilar candidate to Xolair (omalizumab) have been accepted by both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Focusing our business – We are actively transforming and modernizing our business through Teva Transformation programs. On May 7, 2025, we announced that these programs are expected to generate ~$700 million of net savings through 2027, and expect to realize two-thirds of the targeted savings in 2026. In April 2026, Teva entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Emalex Biosciences, including its lead asset ecopipam. Emalex has completed Phase 3 development of ecopipam for the treatment of Tourette syndrome in a pediatric population. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, and is currently anticipated to close by the third quarter of 2026 (link).

First Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results

Revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $3,982 million, an increase of 2% in U.S. dollars, or a decrease of 3% in local currency terms compared to the first quarter of 2025. This decrease in local currency terms was mainly due to lower revenues from generic products, primarily lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid) in our U.S. segment as well as the divestment of our business venture in Japan in our International Markets segment, partially offset by higher revenues from our key innovative products, primarily AUSTEDO.

Exchange rate movements during the first quarter of 2026, including hedging effects, positively impacted revenues by $219 million, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2026 was $1,972 million, an increase of 5% compared to $1,877 million in the first quarter of 2025. Gross profit margin was 49.5% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 48.2% in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross profit was $2,108 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 3% compared to $2,054 million in the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross profit margin was 52.9% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 52.8% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in both gross profit margin and non-GAAP gross profit margin was mainly due to higher revenues from AUSTEDO, partially offset by lower revenues from generic products in our United States segment, primarily lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid).

Research and Development (R&D) expenses, net in the first quarter of 2026, were $222 million, a decrease of 10% compared to $247 million in the first quarter of 2025. Our lower R&D expenses, net in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, were mainly due to a decrease in our generics pipeline and in our late-stage innovative pipeline in neuroscience, partially offset by an increase in immunology projects. Our R&D expenses, net in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, were also impacted by reimbursements and cost sharing from our strategic partnerships and collaborations entered into in recent years.

Selling and Marketing (S&M) expenses in the first quarter of 2026, were $696 million, an increase of 12% compared to the first quarter of 2025. This increase was mainly due to promotional activities related to our key innovative products in our US segment, primarily AUSTEDO, as well as a negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations.

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $304 million, an increase of 2% compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Other Income (Loss) in the first quarter of 2026 was $9 million, compared to other loss of $5 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating Income in the first quarter of 2026 was $652 million, compared to $519 million in the first quarter of 2025. Operating income as a percentage of revenues was 16.4% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 13.3% in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was mainly due to lower intangible assets impairments and higher gross profit, partially offset by higher S&M expenses. Non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2026 was $956 million representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 24.0% compared to $946 million representing 24.3%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in non-GAAP operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 was due to higher S&M expenses as a percentage of revenues, partially offset by higher gross profit margin, as discussed above.

Exchange rate movements in the first quarter of 2026, including hedging effects, had a positive impact of $71 million on our operating income and non-GAAP operating income compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Financial expenses, net in the first quarter of 2026, were $216 million, mainly comprised of net interest expenses of $201 million. In the first quarter of 2025, financial expenses, net were $225 million, mainly comprised of net interest expenses of $212 million.

In the first quarter of 2026, we recognized a tax expense of $67 million, on pre-tax income of $437 million. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized a tax expense of $74 million, on pre-tax income of $294 million.

Tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 was 15.5% compared to a tax rate of 25.1% for the first quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 was 17.5%, same as in the first quarter of 2025. Our tax rate and non-GAAP tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 was mainly affected by the generation of profits in various jurisdictions in which tax rates are different than the Israeli tax rate, infrequent or non-recurring items, including internal legal entities reorganization. Our tax rate and non-GAAP tax rate in the first quarter of 2025 was mainly affected by the generation of profits in various jurisdictions in which tax rates are different than the Israeli tax rate as well as infrequent or non-recurring items.

We expect our annual non-GAAP tax rate for 2026 to be between 20%-23% (16%-19% stand-alone), higher than our non-GAAP tax rate for 2025, which was 15.8%.

Net income attributable to Teva and diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2026 were $369 million and $0.31, respectively, compared to $214 million and $0.18, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was mainly due to higher operating income as discussed above. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2026 were $621 million and $0.53, respectively, compared to $602 million and $0.52, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1,055 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 1%, compared to $1,041 million in the first quarter of 2025.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the fully diluted share count for purposes of calculating our market capitalization was approximately 1,192 million shares and 1,178 million shares, respectively.

Non-GAAP information: non-GAAP adjustments in the first quarter of 2026 were $252 million. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Teva and non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2026 were adjusted to exclude the following items:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets of $137 million, of which $128 million is included in cost of sales and the remaining $9 million in S&M expenses;
Legal settlements and loss contingencies of $72 million;
Restructuring expenses of $25 million;
Impairment of long-lived assets of $9 million;
Contingent consideration expenses of $5 million;
Gain on sale of business of $5 million;
Equity compensation expenses of $43 million;
Financial expenses of $13 million;
Other non-GAAP items of $17 million; and
Corresponding tax effects and unusual tax items of $65 million.

We believe that excluding such items facilitates investors’ understanding of our business including underlying trends, thereby improving the comparability of our business performance results between reporting periods.

For a reconciliation of the U.S. GAAP results to the adjusted non-GAAP figures and for additional information, see the tables below and the information included under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacement for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Cash flow used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2026 was $40 million compared to $105 million in the first quarter of 2025. The lower cash flow used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2026 was mainly due to favorable timing and mix of sales and collections in our U.S. segment as well as lower payments of interest, partially offset by higher performance incentive payments to employees.

During the first quarter of 2026, we generated free cash flow of $188 million, which we define as comprising $40 million in cash flow used in operating activities, $354 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $42 million of proceeds from sale of businesses and long-lived assets, partially offset by $168 million in cash used for capital investments. During the first quarter of 2025, we generated free cash flow of $107 million, which we define as comprising $105 million in cash flow used in operating activities, $322 million in beneficial interest collected in exchange for securitized accounts receivables (under our EU securitization program) and $17 million proceeds from sale of businesses and long-lived assets, partially offset by $127 million in cash used for capital investments. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 resulted mainly from lower cash flow used in operating activities, as discussed above.

As of March 31, 2026, our debt was $16,627 million, compared to $16,807 million as of December 31, 2025. This decrease was mainly due to $174 million of exchange rate fluctuations. The portion of total debt classified as short-term as of March 31, 2026 was 16% compared to 11% as of December 31, 2025. Our financial leverage, which is the ratio between our debt and the sum of our debt and equity, was 67% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 68% as of December 31, 2025. Our average debt maturity was approximately 5.4 years as of March 31, 2026, compared to 5.6 years as of December 31, 2025.

Segment Results for the First Quarter of 2026

United States Segment

In alignment with our Pivot to Growth strategy, commencing January 1, 2026, Anda is no longer reported under our United States segment.

Revenues from our United States segment in the first quarter of 2026 were $1,534 million, flat compared to the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to lower revenues from our generic products, primarily lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid), offset by higher revenues from our key innovative products, primarily AUSTEDO.

Generic products (including biosimilar products) revenues in our United States segment in the first quarter of 2026 were $612 million, a decrease of 28% compared to the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was mainly driven by lower revenues from lenalidomide capsules (the generic version of Revlimid) due to increased generic competition in the U.S., partially offset by higher revenues from our portfolio of biosimilar products.

Among the most significant generic products we sold in the United States in the first quarter of 2026 were Truxima (the biosimilar to Rituxan), epinephrine injectable solution (the generic equivalent of EpiPen and EpiPen Jr) and SIMLANDI (the biosimilar to Humira). In the first quarter of 2026, our total prescriptions were approximately 246 million (based on trailing twelve months), representing 6.3% of total U.S. generic prescriptions, compared to approximately 273 million (based on trailing twelve months), representing 7.1% of total U.S. generic prescriptions in the first quarter of 2025, all according to IQVIA data.

AJOVY revenues in our United States segment in the first quarter of 2026 were $87 million, an increase of 64% compared to the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to a reduction in sales allowance.

Tempest to Advance Dual-Targeting CAR-T Platform with Clinical Update at ISCT 2026 Annual Meeting

On April 29, 2026 Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPST) ("Tempest") reported it will present its most recent clinical data from its lead dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell ("CAR-T") therapy product candidate, TPST-2003, at the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy ("ISCT") Scientific Annual Meeting in Dublin, May 6-9, 2026. Updates will include the latest data from the ongoing REDEEM-1 Phase 1/2a trial evaluating TPST-2003, as well as progress in Tempest’s other dual-targeting CAR-T pipeline programs.

Earlier this year, Tempest announced positive interim data from REDEEM-1, including a 100% complete response rate among all six efficacy then-evaluable patients according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) uniform response criteria, as well as a favorable safety profile.

"We look forward to sharing the latest results from REDEEM-1 and updates on our other dual-targeting CAR-T programs at ISCT," said Dr. Matt Angel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tempest. "We believe that the results that we announced earlier this year suggest that TPST-2003 could offer a safe, effective option for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma ("rrMM"), and we continue to believe that replicating these results in the remainder of the REDEEM-1 trial and in a registrational trial would position TPST-2003 as a class-leading therapy for rrMM."
