JERUSALEM -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: TEVA) announced today the filing of its 2007 income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and statement of changes in shareholders' equity, included in its 2007 Form 20-F previously filed with the SEC on February 29, 2008, in eXtensible Business Reporting Language ("XBRL"). This voluntary filing, Teva's first under the SEC's XBRL program, is designed to enhance Teva's communications with the investment community, allowing shareholders and analysts to more easily review and analyze the Company's financial information.

XBRL works by mapping and tagging information so that investors can easily extract, analyze and compare financial information. The SEC has encouraged the use of interactive data to make it easier for investors to get information from SEC filings. Since its introduction in 2005, approximately 75 companies, including Teva, have filed their financial statements under the SEC's XBRL voluntary program.

The SEC's Interactive Financial Report viewer helps investors gather, analyze and compare key financial disclosures filed voluntarily by public companies using XBRL. The "Financial Explorer," recently launched by the SEC, helps investors analyze the financial results of public companies, using diagrams and charts. These tools, and Teva's XBRL filing, are available at http://216.241.101.197/viewer

Teva's 2007 annual report on Form 20-F is available at Teva's website at www.tevapharm.com. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of such report (in booklet form or on a disc) by contacting Teva's investor relations department at 972 (3) 926-7554 or (215) 591-8912.
