Moody's: Operating Headwinds Weigh On Teva's 2017 Deleveraging Plans -- A Credit Negative

New York, January 09, 2017-- Moody's Investors Service commented that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd's US generics business faces significant headwinds in 2017 including pricing erosion and delays in new launches, a credit negative. This will weigh on the company's ability to delever following the $40 billion Actavis Generics acquisition in August 2016. This is credit negative for Teva given its elevated financial leverage and other business pressures.
