>Do you consider 15% “most”?

Hardly.

Run rate Copaxone sales $1.3B

Overall GM 47% which dramatically understates the Copaxone margin by including the generics.

So assume the GM is 80%. Thus, gross profits from $1.3B is $1.04B.

That would account for most if not all of the net income.

BTW, what really is the NI of TEVA? Did you notice the writeoff of $1B in R&D in 1Q? What is the future income driver now that the pharma's are taking back the golden goose of "exclusivity"?

Bottom line, Copaxone is a very large part (perhaps even most or all) of the TEVA net income.
