Thank you, Rose. Good morning and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss Teva's second quarter 2016 financial results. On the call with me today are Erez Vigodman, Chief Executive Officer; Eyal Desheh, Chief Financial Officer; Siggi Olafsson, President and CEO Global Generic Medicines; Dr. Michael Hayden, head of R&D, Chief Scientific Officer; Dr. Carlo De Notaristefani, President and CEO Global Operations; David Stark, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Global Markets and GSM, Mike McClellan, Senior Vice President, CFO, Global Specialty Medicines; Mike Derkacz, Senior Vice President and Head of Global CNS; and Sven Dethlefs, Head of Global Respiratory Medicines. We will start the call with presentations from Erez and Eyal before opening the call up for questions and answers. A copy of today's press release and slides can be found on our website, tevapharm.com, and under the Investor Relations section with the Teva Investor Relation app. During this call we will be making forward-looking statements, which are predictions, projections, and other statements about future events. These estimates reflect management's current expectations for Teva's performance. Actual results may vary, whether as a result of exchange rate differences, market conditions, or other factors. In addition, the non-GAAP figures exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets, costs related to certain regulatory actions, inventory step up, legal settlements, and reserves, impairments, and related tax effects. The non-GAAP data presented by Teva or the results used by Teva's management and Board of Directors to evaluate the operational performance of the company, to compare against the company's work plans and budgets, and ultimately, to evaluate the performance of management. Teva provides such non-GAAP data to investors as supplemental data and not in substitution or replacement for GAAP results, because management believes such data provides useful information to investors. And with that…

Good morning. First question for Siggi on the Generics business. U.S. Generics revenues were a little lower than expectations. Can you just talk to us again about your conviction in pricing stability on the dynamics in the industry? And was just this a case of us just not properly modeling the impact of Abilify and Nexium in the quarter? And then secondly, Michael, on SD-809 in Huntington's, perhaps you can give us an update there on where you stand on addressing the FDA's request for additional data. And your confidence that no additional data in humans will be required by the FDA? Thank you very much. Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. Thanks, Liav. I think first of all, it's the old story in the Generic business and we have talked about it many times. It's the short-term volatility, but the long-term profitability that we are seeing in the Generic business. I think on the U.S. side, clearly the impact we highlighted, the impact of having our competition on aripiprazole, esomeprazole, on budesonide was very, very significant. I think overall, the underlying business did well. We had that one quality recall in the quarter, which affected our business a little bit. But overall, the impact was that we didn't have any significant new launches. This always happens quarter to quarter when there's no significant launches. So I think in terms of the revenue of the U.S. business, we were in line with our expectation going into the quarter. In terms of the pricing. The pricing is stable to the same degree as before. We saw approximately in the U.S. 4% price erosion in the business. In a way, very stable from first quarter. And the global pricing impact we saw in the business, in the…

Hi. Thanks for taking the question. I have two. Actually one for Eyal and then one general one. Eyal, in your preliminary guidance issued last month, you included a cost of financing of about 2.8% to 2.9%. But by my math, at least in the initial years, I'm getting a cost of capital substantially lower of about 2.2%. Can you confirm that?
Eyal Desheh - Chief Financial Officer & Group Executive VP: Yes. I think Erez just in his comments of 2.32%.

Okay. Oh great. Sorry. I apologize. I must've missed. And then this morning, Momenta has a press release out saying that they're expecting tentative approval on the 40mg this year. So just wanted to see if you guys had any commentary on that?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: I think, just to say on that, I think Momenta has said before that they have a targeted action day for the 40mg this year. So I don't think there's any new information.

Vamil K. Divan - Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Broker): Great. Thanks so much for taking my questions. I'll – just one if I could on the Copaxone side, building off that last question. Maybe you can give a little bit more insight into what you're seeing in terms of share? And it seems like you got a little of benefit on price and some of the rebate this quarter. Maybe you can give us a little more detail there on how that impacted the numbers? And what your expectations are for pricing going forward? Thanks.

Mike.
Michael M. Derkacz - Senior Vice President & GM-Global CNS: Hi. Yeah. Hi, Vamil. Thank you very much. So on the Copaxone share, I think we're very, very pleased with the fact that 40mg is about 83% the U.S. market. Of the number one product in the MS category now, of course, is 40mg at a 24.1% share. And I think of equal importance is the fact that the EU remains on track with the U.S. We're quickly approaching a 60% conversion in Germany. We lead with new patients for Copaxone. And I think this just speaks to the support by payers, by patients, by physicians around the long-proven track record of safety and efficacy of the product and a tribute to the team's great work here.

Any additional questions, Vamil?
Vamil K. Divan - Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (Broker): Just maybe a little bit more on just kind of expectations on pricing going forward? And just a little bit more, if you could break out sort of the impact of the Medicaid rebate versus the net pricing you're getting, given your price increase?
Mike McClellan - SVP & CFO Global Specialty Medicines, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.: Yeah. What we've seen in the quarter, if we compare to last year, is that sales are relatively stable. We have pretty stable volumes and a little bit of a favorable price impact. We did have a nice upside this quarter, because of a favorable mix. But overall, sales without that favorability would be relatively stable with last year.

The next question comes from the line of Elliot Wilbur [Raymond James]. Please ask your question. Elliot Wilbur - Raymond James & Associates, Inc.: Thanks. Good morning. A question around the recently acquired Anda business, both financial and then strategic. First, with respect to financial can we just take the run rate that Actavis talked about – or Allergan talked about in their press release, annualize that, and add that on top of the guidance that you have recently provided? In other words, is that business purely additive? And maybe you can talk about sort of what you see kind of in the terms of trends in the – within the framework that – or the guidance timeline that you had previously talked about through 2019? And then just maybe, perhaps, for Siggi, strategically can you talk about – I mean what does that business really do for Teva? I mean I guess the historical knock against it, in terms of being owned by a generic company, was that it somehow worked against you? And you're competing with your customers? Obviously that never hurt Actavis in the amount of time that they owned it. But just sort of curious and kind of how you view that historical perspective? And what that business really enables you to do? Or sort of what the benefit is of owning it? Thanks. Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. Thanks, Elliot. So if we start on the finances, how you need to think about it is, we reported obviously the third party revenue versus the total revenue that Allergan reported in their PR. I think what you need to keep in mind, that obviously in the third party revenue, as we reported it, includes Teva revenue. So what we need…

GI
Gregg Gilbert - Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.
Analyst
Yes. Thanks. Good morning. Good afternoon. First for Erez and Eyal, how much dry powder do you have right now to make acquisitions? And is it fair to say your strategy on acquisitions is much more focused on Specialty brands versus Generics at this point? And then secondly for Siggi, not to steal thunder from your upcoming Analyst Day. But how can you best support your confidence in that strong mid-single digit growth outlook for Generics over the next several years? In light of just sort of that mid-single digit erosion, can you give us a little bit more color for that? Thanks, guys.
Erez Vigodman - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: Hi, Gregg. So we expect to generate, and I said it and I'm reiterating it now, more than $25 billion of free cash flow from this close until the end of 2019. $5 billion are – basically are designated for dividend distribution until the end of 2019. And the rest is going to be divided between paying down debt and entertaining attractive Specialty deals. We might also look at attractive platforms in key growth markets. That's the focus, and that's how we have been shifting the focus from BD [business development] perspective and to basically to – yes. And I'm reiterating it to attractive Specialty assets.
GI
Gregg Gilbert - Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.
Analyst
Okay.
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. And, Gregg, on my confidence on the mid-single digit growth. Obviously have – we have only had the keys for about 2 days, so it doesn't give me a lot of time to validate what we have talked to before. But everything we have seen in the last 48 hours has built even more confidence in the data. So what we are doing now is that we are validating the pipeline. We are validating the IP situation. We are validating the regulatory affairs to understand and build it up per year. And then in September, hopefully in first half of September, we want to come out with – to investors and show you the pipeline and how the possibility it could align throughout the years. With everything we see after 48 hours, it has only built the confidence. But I think you need to wait up until September, so we can show you the real picture. And maybe give you some hint of the molecules, when they could come. Obviously there are some dates, certain settlements that we want to highlight to investors. But overall, it's the same formula as we talked about before. Rebuild about 5% erosion from volume and price. And then a 10% increase from new product launches, which would give us a 5% or mid-single digit overall growth of the business, which I think is reasonable. And we are still sticking by what we talked about before, approximately 1,500 product launches in 2017.

Jason M. Gerberry - Leerink Partners LLC
Analyst
Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Just to dovetail I guess off Gregg's question. Siggi, you guys – it looks like you guys were able to keep both the Advair programs, yours and Teva's. So kind of curious where you guys stand in the race for a generic Advair? Just curious if you have an updated view now that you've got both assets?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah, so, Jason, on the Advair program, obviously again only 48 hours. But both programs we are going to take two shots at goal. I think it highlights that because we keep both – clearly neither program has completed the Phase 3 study. So our goal is still to file this by the end of next year, beginning of 2018. We have to see. Obviously there's many risks in the way. But I think it gives us an opportunity in taking us, these two shots at goal. Our intention is to continue with both programs, so we have a better chance of introducing a generic interchangeable AB-rated Advair to the market in not-so-distant future. But we are not at the point in time now where we can give you more exact timelines.
JL
Jason M. Gerberry - Leerink Partners LLC
Analyst
Okay. And if I could just squeeze a follow-up in, just on – actually on Vamil's question around the Medicaid mix. Is that just a 2Q phenomenon? Or are you kind of transitioning away from the Medicaid business? And should we expect sort of better gross to nets as a byproduct of that on a go-forward basis? Thanks.
US
Unknown Speaker
Analyst
Yes, what we've seen in the quarter is that the Medicaid scripts tend to come in on a 9- to 12-month lag. So as we had the launch of Glatopa as a competitor, we've made estimates over the quarter. And what we've seen is a slightly favorable mix come in. Some of that is affecting the go-forward business. But a chunk of it is a revision of past estimates, which the underlying business, as we said before, is relatively stable. So the upside you see versus last quarter last year is basically the revision of estimates.

Hi. Thanks for taking my questions. Perhaps a few, if I may. Erez, how are you thinking about the timing of capital deployment in Specialty? And I know you mentioned four core therapeutic areas, so I know it's neurology, pain and respiratory. Is your fourth one oncology? And are you open to BD in oncology? Siggi, so on Generics, it seems like volumes are down 10% sequentially versus the first quarter. And the reported sales are also down a similar number. So what I'm trying to understand is, are you sticking to like a 4% price erosion? And if there's anything – if there's any part of the portfolio that's eroding price beyond that, were you surrendering volumes? I just wanted to understand what we're seeing in IMS. And then finally, Eyal, I had a question on non-GAAP. So the 20% royalty on BENDEKA is not reflected in the non-GAAP P&L. So I just wanted to understand how can investors better understand non-GAAP results, especially if BENDEKA continues to be an important part for many years to come? Erez Vigodman - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: So, Umer, thanks for the questions. Four core therapeutic areas encompasses neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders, [headache] migraine and [headache] pain and respiratory. We might pursue BD deals already in 2016 and 2017. Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: On, Umer, quickly on the volume. So first of all, there's probably three or four things to this question. Overall, the IMS volume is not as accurate as we would like it to be. It's still a decline, but it's not nearly at the 9% we are talking about. So there's a few things that play into it. First of all, the three products that we talk about obviously play…

Umer Raffat - Evercore ISI
Analyst
Thank you very much.
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Also have a comment. Just to give you a little bit more flavor. In the four therapeutic areas, of course migraine and pain is our leading areas with a total number of programs around 35, 12 in migraine and pain, 10 in movement disorders/neurodegeneration, around nine in respi, and then we have some others. For example, neuropsychiatry as well and biosimilar development. So it's quite focused and very specifically focused in the areas that we've spoken about in the past.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of David Risinger [Morgan Stanley], please ask your question. David R. Risinger - Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC: I have two questions. The first is for Siggi. The second is for Michael. So with respect to the Anda business that you're acquiring, could you just provide a little bit more perspective on whether you expect Anda to lose supplier customers, because suppliers are less inclined to work with Teva as a much bigger leader in the U.S. Generics market? And then second, with respect to SD-809, Michael, are you planning to launch the drug next spring? Meaning, how high is your conviction that you'll be getting the drug approved next spring? Or is there enough uncertainty that you can't have extremely high confidence at this point? Thank you. Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Thanks, David. So on the Anda thing, so first of all, keep in mind that Anda, it will be, when we close the transaction, a standalone function within Teva. There will be Chinese wall. It's not part of the ongoing business. And we will report it separately. Second thing to think about is Anda is a great service functions to the other pharma companies. So they really want to work with Anda. Anda has a great business, working with the independent pharmacies. And also their role of being, as I mentioned before, the primary/secondary. I think even though we are competitors in the market, I think the company sees us as a great opportunity to be in a position to work with Anda. And Anda has a reputation in the market to be one of the best supplier, best service, great for incentives. And maybe the third point to mention, yes, there has…

RL
Randall S. Stanicky - RBC Capital Markets LLC
Analyst
Great. Thanks. I just have two. The first is for Siggi and then for David. Siggi, as some of your Indian peers collect approvals that they are not launching, or at least have not yet launched, and as we see some of their domestic competitors here having some pretty significant competitive challenges. How much risk is that of irrational behavior? Or even opportunity for you is that? How do you view that?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. So, Randall, with 208 generic companies in the U.S. market, the competition is fierce. There's no question about it. There has been more approvals you have seen. There is a pickup of approval. But overall, there hasn't been so many launches. Because also I think company know and we know it ourselves, if you are the eighth or the ninth approval, it is a very difficult market to add value to the customers to bring a product to the market. So many of the approvals, because you see a lot, many, many product approvals, but they are not the exclusive approval so much. So I think the companies are different. I think most companies have started to understand how the market functions. But it is a fierce competition in the market. There's no question in my mind that, with 208 companies, there's on average now from the FDA approximately 55 to 60 approvals every month. We need to be on top of our game. The other side of the coin is of course that we have 336 ANDAs pending at the FDA in the new combined Teva. So when the FDA picks up the pace in approving our competitors' products, we have approximately 10% of all ANDAs is in the name of Teva now at the FDA. So I think we will also see the benefit from the FDA picking up the pace. And that will give me – that gives me the comfort of the mid-single-digit growth. But you're absolutely right. This is a crowded market. There's a lot of competition. And there's new approvals coming.

Randall S. Stanicky - RBC Capital Markets LLC

Okay. Great. And just if I can switch, just, David, for a second on Copaxone. The next major data point we're going to have here are going to be the three IPR decisions later this month. And if they go against Teva, I guess a couple questions. Do we know how Judge Sleet is going to treat those? If he'll include those in the litigation or not? Obviously the fourth patent would be included. And then does that have any impact relative to the PTAB finding if – relative to what Judge Sleet views on those patents? Can you get an injunction off of anything that he may find?
DL
David Stark - SVP, General Counsel for Global Markets, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Analyst
Yeah. Hi, Randall. This is David. Thanks for the question. So the judges have discretion in terms of how they manage their docket. But that said, we have a pretty high degree of confidence that in that fact pattern that you described that Judge Sleet would go ahead, just as you mentioned. And particularly on the fourth patent, which is not going to be part of the IPR decisions. So our view is, is that there's a very high degree of likelihood that the trial will go ahead. And thanks for the question around the injunction, because those patents are in the Orange Book unless and until those patents would be canceled, there would be an automatic injunction if we were to prevail in front of Judge Sleet.

Randall S. Stanicky - RBC Capital Markets LLC
Analyst
And can he relitigate the patents, even if the PTAB invalidates them?

David Stark - SVP, General Counsel for Global Markets, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Just as Judge Sleet's decision would be appealed to the Federal Circuit. And until the PTAB procedure completely runs its course, we would still have an injunction, an automatic one, in front of Judge Sleet if we were to prevail. I hope that gets at your questions.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Ken Cacciatore [Cowen]. Please ask your question. Ken Cacciatore - Cowen & Co. LLC: Hi. Thanks. Just a couple. First, Siggi, I know it's been brief. But you should have some insights at least into the Allergan's generic business operating margins maybe. And just general health, even though it's been a short window of time. If you could just maybe compare and contrast to your current operations standalone? And also just a general question, whoever wants to field it. On Mylan's Advair, you all are clearly an interested party here. You're a major shareholder. So can you give us any insights into your belief around that as a shareholder? Clearly you own a lot, and it would be a good liquidity event. So wanted to get your perspective, if you thought it could be AB-rated and approved? Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Good question, Ken. So first of all, on the operating margin, we obviously – we cannot comment on their quarter 2 business. I think Allergan has their results next week. But overall, we are very pleased with what we see. We have a stable business, it's growing. I think a very interesting pipeline. And we also highlighted that when we give a guidance to the Street that really on both sides, in Teva and in Actavis, both R&D groups did amazing jobs over the last 12 months to continue to build the pipeline. In terms of the operating margin, we have to see. We have to do the calculation. As I mentioned before, we are at close to 27% in the Generic business in Teva for this quarter. My guess would be they are at about just over 30% in the operating profit.…

Good morning. Just first on clarification, what were the Takeda revenues in the quarter? And is that fair run rate? And is it growing? And then, Erez, in a recent interview and previously you've spoken about the merging of information technology and therapeutics as an important part of healthcare. And that Teva is going to participate in that. Can you maybe describe what your efforts are there right now?
Erez Vigodman - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: Sure. I think the best way to describe things at this stage is as follows. First, we focus on unlocking value from Generics, unlocking value from Specialty. There is a huge opportunity for us to generate value to our shareholders from Generics and from Specialty on a standalone basis. Other time we saw maybe a little bit of focus in the industry would shift from product only to broader unmet needs of patients, increasing adherence compliance and by pressing prevention, prediction. And basically that's an opportunity for us. We believe that we are positioned as a company to address the broader unmet needs of patients, in a way which is not confined to medicines only. On a step-by-step basis continue to unlock value from Generics and from Specialty. We'll catch up synergies and we create more opportunity with patient. And there are moves that we are – have been already carrying out. We'll be in a position to share that with the Street I believe early next year or in the course of 2017 with more details.
Michael R. Hayden - President of Global R&D and Chief Scientific Officer: And, David, on the – your question on the Takeda revenue contribution, we're not providing country by country. And also confidentiality agreement with Takeda prevent us from being specific. But there is a view if you go into the details in our P&L, you can see some estimate of profit contribution with the minority interest line, because we get 51% of the profit.

Great. Thanks very much. Just two here. Maybe first, can you talk about price opportunities on the combined Generic portfolio, now that the deal is closed? As you kind of review the pro forma business, do you see the opportunity to raise price on select products here? Second question was on the environment for business development right now. I think you talked earlier about maybe $3 billion to $4 billion of capacity in the near term and a lot more over time. But how attractive of a market are you seeing out there? Have you seen any change in expectations, either from sellers or in the competitive environment for assets that make this either a more or less attractive time to be pursuing some of these Specialty products? Thanks very much. Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. Thanks, Chris. On the pricing as you know and as we know that the size really doesn't affect the pricing. And I have a strong feeling, when you have over 200 competitors, size has nothing to do about pricing. I think the pricing comes with shortages in the market, if you have an exclusive product. If there's some kind of dysfunction in the market, there might be a small pricing opportunity that usually comes in and comes out. But overall, the size and being a combined company doesn't play into that. I feel quite strongly about that. The environment has to do with shortages, new product. And of course we have a lot of exclusive products, as we mentioned about 115 first-to-file, further pending. And I think those are the biggest pricing opportunities we have in the future. I think also what we are going to do, Chris, and this part of it, is we are working hand-in-hand…

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Ronny Gal [Bernstein]. Please ask your question. Ronny Gal - Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC: Good morning and thank you for taking my questions. I have three. First, you guys, as I think Umer mentioned, you've got a bit of a lower run rate on some commodity products. And you now have Anda as a differentiator for the distribution business. If we think about Teva's mix going forward, should we think about you kind of following the good old path, a Watson track, and having a lot more differentiated product and commodity product? Or are you kind of plotting a comeback on commodity product, as you bring more interesting products as well? Second question. Looking at OUS Generic, this feels like a good quarter to ask about the mix of gross profit between the U.S. and OUS. You seem to have similar revenue numbers between the two. Can you just comment on the profitability kind of like in rough sense between the U.S. and OUS when it comes to Generic profits? Obviously it will change a lot with Actavis, but it will be good to see. And third, for – I guess a bit on the IP. I noticed the last patent you listed, the '874 patent, which is I guess the last one to be resolved in terms of IP. That one looks very similar to the three patents which are under APR in terms of being dependent on the three times per week limitation. Is this fair? That is, is this patent completely separate in terms of decision than the first three? Or frankly, should we think about if the argument around three times per week gets overturned by the court or the IPR, we should think…

Hey, Ronny. This is David. Thanks for the question. You're right that that fifth patent is similar to some of the other patents that we have. But there are differences. This isn't the right forum to get into the details of what those differences are, which would touch on our litigation strategy. But I would also keep in mind that what we might do going forward with the fifth patent in particular, it's possible that that could end up in front of a different panel at the PTAB or even a different judge. And that could also lead to a different decision. So there are many variables in the mix.
Ronny Gal - Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC: Got it. Thank you, guys.

Jami Rubin - Goldman Sachs & Co.: Thank you. Can you guys hear me now?

Kevin C. Mannix - Senior Vice President, Head of Investor Relations
Management
Yeah.
Jami Rubin - Goldman Sachs & Co.: Can you hear me? Okay. Great. Thank you. Apologies for that. Eyal, maybe can you explain what is going on in Venezuela? I saw that Rest of World sales were up quite a bit, ahead of our expectations. And some of that was driven by sales in Venezuela. And in addition, other sales or OTC sales have benefited from the inflationary environment in Venezuela. I'm just wondering if you can, A, quantify what your revenues are? And just explain what's going on? Because it seems that every other company that we cover, certainly large-cap pharma, other generics, have been writing down that business or getting out of it all together. And – while you're going in the other direction. So if you can talk about that? And secondly, can you, Eyal, tell us what you're assuming for the ProAir franchise going forward? I believe Perrigo will be launching a generic end of the year, early next. And how we should think about revenues? Thanks.
Eyal Desheh - Chief Financial Officer & Group Executive VP: All right. On Venezuela. So Venezuela is not taking a big piece of our business. Actually quarter after quarter, it's a bit down on sales and profit. Total sales, see – we'll publish our full 6-K public report later on today. Total sales were just above $200 million, split about 50-50 between the Generic sales and the OTC sales. Our profit contribution is not very high, again a bit down compared to Q1 this year, a bit up compared to last year. So it doesn't really move the needle substantially right now.
Jami Rubin - Goldman Sachs & Co.: What's the outlook for that business? Eyal, what's the outlook for that business. And how should we think about your treatment versus other companies?
Eyal Desheh - Chief Financial Officer & Group Executive VP: Well, one thing that differentiates us from most foreign companies that – these pharma companies operating in Venezuela is that all our sales are produced locally. We don't import finished products. We have a plant that produces. This is a necessity in the country right now. And we are producing really essential drugs. Economy of Venezuela, this is not the time and place to analyze, but we know that the economy there is not in good shape to say the least. And we see what the future will bring. Lots of uncertainties. I wouldn't speculate on this either way.

This is Sven for the ProAir question. So ProAir has seen a slight growth in this quarter over year, last year, primarily driven by gross to net conversion. We have introduced the RespiClick, the new breath actuated device into the ProAir franchise. We see a steady but slow uptake. We are around about a 3% market share in total prescription volume in the U.S. so far with ProAir RespiClick. And we continue this trend to continue over the next month. Concerning the overall development of the franchise, I think we have to look at whether Perrigo gets, and when it gets, the approval for the generic competitor through the ProAir HFA device that we have. Internally we plan that we have a full generic entry or, let's say, a generic competition more towards the mid-2018 than in the near future.

Hi, thank you for taking the question. There was nice growth on Treanda and BENDEKA that – and I was just wondering if there was any stocking this quarter? And also is Teva undertaking any additional activities to try to preserve BENDEKA beyond 2019? Thank you
Eyal Desheh - Chief Financial Officer & Group Executive VP: Yeah. So on the business itself, yes, there was some stocking this quarter, once our customer realized that we won on the trial and remain exclusive. So the regular run rate is a bit lower than what you see from Treanda. And BENDEKA we're happy to see very nice conversion to BENDEKA, over 80% right now. Beyond 2019, our settlement are September 2019.
Erez Vigodman - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: So it is not realistic to expect that we maintain the business beyond the end of 2019.
Eyal Desheh - Chief Financial Officer & Group Executive VP: Yes.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Rohit Vanjani [Oppenheimer]. Please ask your question
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): Thanks for taking the question. I had a couple of questions on the Copaxone litigation and then one follow-up on the Anda acquisition. So when Mylan and Anda initiated the IPR and PGR processes, was the fifth patent issued, the '874? And if not, would they still have to definitely invalidate that patent?
DL
David Stark - SVP, General Counsel for Global Markets, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Analyst
So this is David speaking. The answer to the question is no. When they initiated the proceedings on those four patents, we had not yet obtained the fifth patent. So the fifth patent, recently listed in the Orange Book, and we haven't taken any action yet with respect to that.
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): And then I know you said that if PTAB invalidates on the three patents, it would be appealed to the Federal Circuit. But if Judge Sleet goes through the case, he can come to a different conclusion on those three patents, correct? Because he has a higher bar to clear? And he's the only one that can lift a 30-month stay? So in a sense he can – sorry, go ahead.
DL
David Stark - SVP, General Counsel for Global Markets, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Analyst
No, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off there. Absolutely correct.
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): Okay. So in a sense he can relitigate those three patents?
DL
David Stark - SVP, General Counsel for Global Markets, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Analyst
Yes
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): Okay. And then on the Anda acquisition, do you know, Siggi, if they had a retailer alliance? And then I know you said it's nowhere near the big three, but can you grow it and can you use it to offset some of the generic deflation?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. So I think how they do is they work with the independents more than anything else. And then they are basically a support of the secondary to the primary accounts with the bigger. I don't know. Obviously we haven't closed the transaction, so we don't know the details around their contracts and things like that. But, overall, obviously throughout the year, knowing the business for the last 6 years, 7 years, it's a very steady business. It will not be a threat. You think about it. The third-party revenue is just in excess of $1 billion. So it's not a real threat to the big three. I think what this gives us is the flexibility, better service to all our customers, the big three but also the independent. And a new way to get into the market. It's an opportunity when we have an exclusive launch to get into all the pharmacies within 24 hours of launch. And all these added benefits, I think it's incrementally better for the business. But it's also the next step in serving our customers better. But will it be a real threat to the big three? Or can we grow it to tens of billions? That's not in the card. It's really the step of maintaining and serving our customers better than we do today.
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): But as far as you know, they don't have a formalized alliance, as AmerisourceBergen and Walgreens? Or McKesson and Rite Aid? Or something like that?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: I don't know the answer to that question yet.
Rohit Vanjani - Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (Broker): Okay. Thanks.

Thanks for taking my questions. I have three quick ones. First, Teva by itself was quite large in terms of facilities. Now that you've had the keys for a couple of days, could you give an update on the rationalization of facilities? And is it fair to assume that the $1.4 billion in synergies does not assume anything major there? Second, in the new Teva Generics side, is there still anything that you're relatively less strong on in terms of capabilities, that buying might be more efficient than building? And third, can you rank order your prioritization of biosimilars within the $3 billion to $4 billion of business development dollars that you've set aside?
Sigurdur Oli Olafsson - CEO & President-Global Generic Medicines Group: Yeah. So let me start. So overall, as we mentioned, the $1.4 billion of cost and tax synergies, we didn't identify any new facility. What we mentioned was a decision that had been taken in Teva independently of the transaction and had been taken in Actavis independently of the transaction. We are going ahead with those movement. But overall, any synergy movement, closing of facility, no decisions have been made. They are not included in the $1.4 billion, because also you need to keep in mind from the time we announce a closure or decide to close a facility until we see a benefit is more than 3 years. So overall, it's not built into that plan. Obviously we will look at it. We have a lot of facilities, over 18 manufacturing plants around the world. So there might be something we look at. But there's no decisions being made since we signed on any future further facility closure. With regards to the new Generic business, where it might make sense to buy instead of build, you in a way answered that in your third question. I think biosimilars is probably the point where it might make sense to buy something instead of building it from ground up. We are obviously looking into that. In terms of other dosage forms, I think we really are covering the whole range from anything from very complex injectables, where Teva has been the leader in terms of slow release injectables, in terms of proteins, in terms of a delivery system, all the way to patches, semi-solids, liquids, that Actavis has been the leader in. And really everything in between there. But clearly where we are lagging behind is on the biosimilars, where our pipeline is quite thin for the short term. But clearly for the long term, when we talk about Wave 3 after 2021, we have a very exciting pipeline that we are working on. And the BD front for biosimilars?
Erez Vigodman - President, Chief Executive Officer & Director: So we don't rule out the possibility of underpinning a potential acquisition of a biosimilar asset or activity. We are assessing the landscape. And with the right one we might entertain a deal.
