In computing diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025, basic earnings per share were adjusted to take into account the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and
non-vested
RSUs and PSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans. No account was taken of the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Additionally, an amount of
27.2
 
million dilutive shares of ordinary shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options, RSUs and PSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share attributable to Teva’s ordinary shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no account was taken of the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of options and
non-vested
RSUs and PSUs granted under employee stock compensation plans, and convertible senior debentures, since they had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. Additionally, an amount of 52.1 million and
57.9 
million dilutive shares of ordinary shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options, RSU’s and PSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share attributable to Teva’s ordinary shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

About Earnings Per Share Disclosures

The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.

Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
