Legal Settlements and Loss Contingencies
NOTE 9 – Legal settlements and loss contingencies:
Legal settlements and loss contingencies for the first quarter of 2021 
 were
$104 million, compared to an income of $25 million in the first quarter of 2020. The expense in the first quarter of 2021 was mainly due to the provision for the carvedilol patent litigation (see note 10). The income in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly due to proceeds received following a settlement of an action brought against the sellers of Auden McKenzie (an acquisition made by Actavis Generics).
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Teva’s provision for legal settlements and loss contingencies recorded under accrued expenses and other taxes and long-term liabilities was $1,730 million and 1,625 million, respectively.
