FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

TEVA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

 

 

Jerusalem, Israel, August 1, 2005 - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: TEVA) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2005 reached $241 million and $0.36 per share, an increase of 5% and 6%, respectively.

 

Mr. Israel Makov, Teva`s President and CEO, commented: "Teva`s results this quarter demonstrate the robustness, and the continued success, of our balanced business model. The temporary lack of opportunities for product launches in 2005 in general and in this quarter in particular in our largest generic market, the US, was offset by strong performances in all our other businesses, leading to continued profitable growth, though modest, over the exceptionally strong comparable quarter in 2004."

 

Net Sales in the second quarter amounted to $1,227 million, an increase of 4% over the comparable quarter. These results reflect higher sales in all of Teva's major operations except for the U.S. generic operations, which were impacted by the small number of new product launches as well as by increased competition in a few of Teva's leading generic products.

 

In the second quarter of 2005, Pharmaceutical sales accounted for 89% of total sales.

 

North American pharmaceutical sales (including Copaxone^®) accounted for 57% of the Company`s total pharmaceutical sales and reached $624 million in the quarter, compared to $676 million in the second quarter of 2004, a decrease of 8%. The lower US generic sales were partially offset by higher U.S. sales of Copaxone^® and higher sales in the Canadian market. The comparable quarter in 2004 was particularly strong with major products launches including Oxycodone and Carboplatin.

As of July 25, 2005, 140 product applications awaited final FDA approval. Collectively, the brand products covered by these 140 applications have annual U.S. sales of over $89 billion.  Teva believes it is the first to file on 37 of these applications relating to products whose annual U.S. branded sales are over $26 billion.

 

Pharmaceutical sales in Europe (including Copaxone^®), which accounted for 32% of the Company`s total pharmaceutical sales, increased 28% in the quarter to $349 million.  The main reasons for this increase were sales of products that were not sold in the comparable quarter, including the recent successful launch of a few products such as Alendronate and Lamotrigine, higher Copaxone^® sales and strengthening of European currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, when compared to the second quarter of 2004, which contributed about one fifth to European sales growth in dollar terms.

 

Global in-market sales of Copaxone® during the second quarter were $291 million, an increase of 29% over the second quarter of 2004. U.S. in-market sales increased by 29% to $193 million. According to IMS, Copaxone® further augmented its position as the US market leader in both total and new prescriptions, reaching a TRx share of 32.7% in June 2005.  In-market sales outside the U.S., mainly in Europe and Canada, increased by 28% to $97 million.

 

Agilect^®/Azilect^®- Azilect^® was launched in the U.K. in June 2005 and is on track to be launched progressively in other European countries.

 

Total API sales, including internal sales to Teva's pharmaceutical businesses, reached $253 million, an increase of 12% over the second quarter of 2004. API sales to third parties reached $127 million an increase of 5% over the second quarter of 2004.

 

Gross profit margin was 47.4% in the second quarter of 2005 compared with 47.0% for the second quarter of 2004 and 46.7% for the full year of 2004. The gross profit margin specifically benefited from higher Copaxone^® sales and improved margins in Europe and in our API business.

 

Gross R&D spending for the quarter grew by 2% over the comparable quarter of 2004, and reached $93 million. Net R&D (after third party participations) grew by 4% and reached $91 million.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, which represented 14.9% of net sales, amounted to $183 million in the quarter, as compared to 14.4% of net sales and $169 million in the second quarter of 2004.

 

The Tax rate provided for the second quarter of 21.5% of pre-tax income represents our estimate of the annual rate of tax for 2005 compared to 23% provided for in the second quarter of 2004, and with a rate of 21.7% for the whole of 2004.   This reflects both a different mix of income sources and slightly lower rates of tax in certain countries.

Cash flow generated from operating activities for the second quarter of 2005 was $423 million, up from $246 million in the second quarter of 2004. Cash and marketable securities amounted to $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2005.

 

Shareholders Equity at June 30, 2005 reached $5.3 billion, similar to that of March 31, 2005, mainly due to the repurchase of Teva's shares and the impact of translation differences, offsetting net income.

Securities Repurchase Plan - During the quarter, Teva repurchased shares in the amount of $129 million.  

 

Share Count - For the second quarter of 2005, the share count for the fully diluted EPS calculation was 678 million shares and for the market capitalization, 644 million shares.

 

Dividend

The Board of Directors, at its meeting on July 31, 2005, declared a cash interim dividend for the second quarter of 2005 of NIS 0.30 (approx. $0.07 according to the rate of exchange on July 29, 2005) per ADR. The record date will be August 15, 2005 (the ex-date will be August 16, 2005), and the payment date will be August 30, 2005. Tax will be withheld at a rate of 18%.
