Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE: TEVA) extends sustainability-linked revolver and resets leverage covenants

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited has amended its senior unsecured sustainability-linked revolving credit agreement to extend the stated maturity date of the lenders’ commitments and loans by one year, from April 29, 2027 to April 29, 2028. This extension is the second one-year extension permitted under the original April 29, 2022 agreement and helps keep this revolving credit facility available for a longer period.

The amendment also updates key financial covenants. The Company’s maximum permitted leverage ratio for Q4 2025 and thereafter is set at 4.25x, with potential increases if Teva completes or starts certain material transactions. If Teva achieves Investment Grade Status and no event of default is continuing, the maximum leverage and minimum interest cover ratio covenants will no longer apply; if Investment Grade Status is later lost or an event of default occurs, these covenants will be reinstated for future testing dates.

Insights

Credit & Capital Structure Analyst

Teva extends revolving credit to 2028 and adjusts leverage covenants.

Teva obtained unanimous lender consent to extend the maturity of its senior unsecured sustainability-linked revolving credit facility from April 29, 2027 to April 29, 2028. This keeps an existing liquidity backstop in place for an additional year under largely similar terms, which can support ongoing refinancing and working capital planning.

The amendment also resets the maximum permitted leverage ratio for Q4 2025 and onward at 4.25%x, with room for increases if certain material transactions are completed or commenced. This provides a defined leverage ceiling while allowing flexibility around larger corporate actions, consistent with typical investment-grade style covenants.

A notable feature is that if Teva achieves “Investment Grade Status” and no event of default is continuing, both the maximum leverage ratio and the minimum interest cover ratio will stop applying; they are reinstated only if investment grade is lost or a default occurs. This structure ties covenant intensity directly to credit ratings, so future rating changes and related disclosures will shape how binding these covenants are over time.
