Teva’s 11th Consecutive Growth Quarter Propels Upward Outlook: Innovative Brands, U.S. Segment Drive Profit Margins
Key Takeaway: Innovation and U.S. Sales Deliver Q3 Growth, Supporting Higher 2025 Guidance
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries delivered its 11th consecutive quarter of revenue growth, underlining the company’s accelerating momentum as it pivots further into innovative medicines and specialty generics. Third-quarter 2025 results highlighted the continued rise of key brands such as AUSTEDO, AJOVY, and UZEDY, leading Teva to lift its full-year 2025 guidance for non-GAAP earnings and its leading neurology franchise.
U.S. Segment Emerges as a Powerhouse: Double-Digit Sales Jump
Revenue from the U.S. segment rose 12% year-over-year to $2.48 billion, as innovative product sales powered ahead. The largest contributor, AUSTEDO, climbed 38% year-over-year to $601 million, while AJOVY and UZEDY delivered 27% and 24% revenue growth, respectively. Generic and biosimilar products added a steady 7% lift, highlighting Teva’s dual strengths in innovation and market reach.
| Major Product | Q3 2025 Revenue ($M) | YoY % Change |
|---|---|---|
| AUSTEDO | 601 | +38% |
| AJOVY | 73 | +27% |
| UZEDY | 43 | +24% |
| Generics (U.S.) | 1,175 | +7% |
Profit Margins Strengthen as Transformation Pays Off
Teva’s profit story stood out in Q3, with its GAAP operating income margin reaching 19.7%—a major turnaround from last year’s loss. Non-GAAP operating margin climbed to 28.9% (up 86 basis points year-over-year), keeping Teva on track for its ambitious 30% margin goal by 2027. Gross profit margin rose to 51.4%, led by high-margin sales in its specialty pipeline. Non-GAAP diluted EPS landed at $0.78, up from $0.69 a year ago.
| Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | Year-over-Year Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue ($B) | 4.48 | 4.33 | +3% |
| Non-GAAP Operating Margin | 28.9% | 28.0% | +0.9 pts |
| Non-GAAP EPS | 0.78 | 0.69 | +13% |
| Gross Profit Margin | 51.4% | 49.6% | +1.8 pts |
Raising the Bar: 2025 Outlook Improves for AUSTEDO, Profit, and Cash Flow
Bolstered by innovative franchise growth, Teva updated its 2025 guidance: the revenue target for AUSTEDO now stands at $2.05–$2.15 billion (a $100 million bump at the top end), while overall non-GAAP EPS was lifted to $2.55–$2.65. Adjusted EBITDA guidance nudged higher as well. Teva also affirmed its $700 million cost-savings target by 2027 as its operational transformation progresses.
| 2025 Full-Year Guidance | Previous (July 2025) | Updated (Nov 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| AUSTEDO Revenue ($M) | 2,000-2,050 | 2,050-2,150 |
| Non-GAAP Diluted EPS ($) | 2.50-2.65 | 2.55-2.65 |
| Adjusted EBITDA ($B) | 4.7-5.0 | 4.8-5.0 |
Innovative Brands Drive Portfolio Strength
Teva’s core strategy revolves around a portfolio of specialty brands, which delivered 33% local-currency growth to $830 million this quarter. Highlights include AUSTEDO’s U.S.-led surge, strong global AJOVY expansion (including a key new FDA approval for pediatric migraine), and UZEDY’s double-digit growth. The recently launched generic liraglutide injection, the first generic GLP-1 for weight loss, and expanding biosimilar offerings continue to fortify Teva’s presence in high-value segments.
Segment Breakdown: U.S. Growth Leads, Europe and International See Mixed Trends
The United States segment continues to be the growth engine, outpacing declines in Europe (down 2%) and International Markets (down 9% overall but up 2% ex-Japan). U.S. profitability was particularly notable, with segment profit climbing 25% to $937 million and gross margin rising to 59.9% on strong product mix. Meanwhile, Europe’s margins slipped on product mix and pricing, while International saw ongoing impact from the Japan business divestment.
Cash Flow, Debt Reduction, and Transformation on Track
Teva reported free cash flow of $515 million for the quarter. Debt continued to decline, now at $16.79 billion versus $17.78 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting continued balance sheet discipline. With an average debt maturity extended to 5.85 years, the company’s financial footing appears firmer as transformation efforts yield results.

What’s Next: Opportunities and Areas to Watch
With double-digit specialty sales growth, a tighter 2025 outlook, and clear cost-cutting plans, Teva’s narrative now centers on sustaining margin gains and capitalizing on late-stage pipeline catalysts—such as its late-phase neuroscience candidates and ongoing generic launches. Watch for developments on its planned divestiture of the API business, the continued growth trajectory of AUSTEDO (especially post-IRA negotiations), and U.S. biosimilar launches to set the next phase of momentum.
Final Takeaway: Transformation on Solid Ground—But Execution Remains Key
Teva’s Q3 numbers reinforce the pivot toward innovation-driven, margin-focused growth. Yet with competition intensifying in generics, evolving reimbursement and regulatory dynamics, and international markets under pressure, sustained outperformance will depend on continued pipeline delivery and commercial execution. For now, the foundation looks notably firmer than in years past.
