NOTE 1:-GENERAL

a.SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries design, develop, and sell an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual photovoltaic (“PV”) module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers designed to maximize energy throughput from each and every module through constant tracking of Maximum Power Point individually per module, (ii) inverters which invert direct current (DC) from the PV module to alternating current (AC), (iii) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters of a solar PV system to enable customers and system owners as applicable, to monitor and manage the solar PV systems and (iv) a storage solution that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners by utilizing a battery that is sold separately by third party manufacturers, to store and supply power as needed (the “StorEdge solution”). The StorEdge solution is designed to provide smart energy functions such as maximizing self-consumption, Time-of-Use programming for desired hours of the day, and home energy backup solutions.

The Company and its subsidiaries sell their products worldwide through large distributors and electrical equipment wholesalers to smaller solar installers, as well as directly to large solar installers and Engineering, Procurement and Construction firms (“EPCs”).

In July and October 2018, the Company completed the acquisitions ("Gamatronic Acquisition") of substantially all of the assets and activities of Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd. ("Gamatronic IL") and all of the outstanding shares of its wholly owned subsidiary Gamatronic (UK) Limited (“Gamatronic UK”), respectively. Both companies ("UPS Division") are providers and manufacturers of Uninterruptible Power Supplies ("UPS") devices.

On October 17, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of 74.5% of the outstanding common shares and voting rights of Kokam Co., Ltd. (“Kokam”), a Korean company whose shares are traded on the Korean OTC market, a provider of Lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage solutions. From October 17, 2018 and through September 30, 2019 (unaudited), the Company increased its shareholdings of Kokam to 94.3%.

On January 24, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 56.8% of the outstanding common shares and voting rights of S.M.R.E S.p.A (“SMRE”), an Italian company whose shares were traded on the Italian AIM, a provider of innovative integrated powertrain technology and electronics for electric vehicles. Between January 24, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (unaudited), the Company increased its shareholdings of SMRE to 99.8% (see Note 2).

b.New accounting pronouncements not yet effective:

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". ASU 2017-04 was issued to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in a more timely recognition of losses. The Company will adopt Topic 326 effective January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows.

c.Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases". Topic 842 supersedes the lease requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840, "Leases". Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide a transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, or retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The Company has elected to apply the standard retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The Company has also elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02 including certain available transitional practical expedients. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019. The interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while the comparative periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy (See Note 7).

d.Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements” and the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures in footnotes that it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2018, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) (see Note 1c).

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

The Company depends primarily on one contract manufacturer and several limited or single source component suppliers, and is in the process of opening an additional site with this contract manufacturer and its own manufacturing site. Reliance on these vendors makes the Company vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs.

As of September 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, one and three vendors collectively accounted for 59.2% and 58.8% of the Company’s total trade payables, respectively.

e.Accounting for stock-based compensation:

Some of the RSUs granted are subject to certain performance criteria’s (“PSUs”): accordingly, compensation expense for PSUs are recognized when it becomes probable that the related performance conditions have been satisfied.

f.Non recurring expenses:

On August 25, 2019, the Company announced the untimely death of Mr. Guy Sella, Founder, who had served as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors until shortly before his passing. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized non-recurring expenses in the amount of $8,305 related to payroll, bonus and employees acceleration of stock-based compensation related to Mr. Sella’s passing.

NOTE 2:-BUSINESS COMBINATION

S.M.R.E

On January 24, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 56.8% of the outstanding common shares and voting rights of SMRE, a provider of innovative integrated powertrain technology and electronics for electric vehicles for $73,036, net of cash acquired, out of which $42,240 was paid in cash and $34,601 was paid in shares of SolarEdge common stock (the “SMRE Acquisition”).

As part of the SMRE Acquisition, the Company issued 334,096 PSUs that are subject to certain performance goals and a vesting period, in the aggregate amount of $13,444 which will be expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operation in general and administrative expenses line item (see Note 9).

As of January 24, 2019 (unaudited), the fair value of the 43.2% non-controlling interests in SMRE was estimated to be $67,733. The fair value of the non-controlling interests was valued based on and at the transaction price.

NOTE 6:-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures its cash equivalents, foreign currency derivative contracts, and marketable securities, at fair value using the market approach valuation technique. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because these assets are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Earn-out provision is classified within the Level 3 value hierarchy, as the valuation is based on unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 7:-LEASES

The Company leases offices, plants and vehicles under operating and finance leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and liability at the present value of lease payments according to their term. Several of the Company’s leases include renewal options and some have termination options that are factored into the Company’s determination of the lease payments when appropriate. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate in order to discount the lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date.

These contractual purchase obligations relate to inventories held by contract manufacturers and purchase orders initiated by the contract manufacturers and suppliers, which cannot be cancelled without penalty. The Company utilizes third parties to manufacture its products. In addition, it acquires raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on its projected demand and manufacturing needs.

As of September 30, 2019 (unaudited), the Company had non-cancellable purchase obligations totaling approximately $362,968 out of which the Company already recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $2,231.

As of September 30, 2019 (unaudited), the Company had contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $75,073. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s manufacturing.

c.Legal claims:

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

In May 2019 (unaudited), the Company received notice that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity, has filed three lawsuits in the Guangzhou intellectual property court against the Company's two Chinese subsidiaries and its equipment manufacturer in China. The lawsuits allege infringement of three patents and ask for an injunction of manufacture, use, sale and offer for sale, and damage awards of approximately $4.3 million. In response to the lawsuits, the Company initiated invalidation proceedings against Huawei’s three patents. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

In August 2019, the Company was served with a lawsuit by certain former shareholders of SMRE, against its Italian subsidiary that purchased the shares of SMRE in the tender offer which followed the SMRE Acquisition. The shareholders who tendered their shares are asking for the difference between the amount for which they tendered their shares (6 Euro per share) and 6.7 Euros per share, for awards of approximately $3 million. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

b.Stock Incentive plans:

The Company’s 2007 Global Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors on August 30, 2007. On March 31, 2015, once the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), the 2007 Plan was terminated and no further awards will be granted thereunder. All outstanding awards are continuing to be governed by their existing terms and 379,358 available options for future grant were transferred to the Company’s 2015 Global Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and are reserved for future issuances under the 2015 plan.

The 2015 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of options, RSUs and other stock-based awards to directors, employees, officers, and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2019 (unaudited), a total of 10,383,357 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan (the “Share Reserve”).

The Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1st of each year during the term of the 2015 Plan commencing on January 1st of the year following the year in which the 2015 Plan becomes effective in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that our board of directors may determine that there will not be a January 1st increase in the Share Reserve in a given year or that the increase will be less than five percent (5%) of the shares of capital stock outstanding on the preceding December 31st.

The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options is ten million (10,000,000). As of September 30, 2019 (unaudited), an aggregate of 8,686,589 shares of common stock are still available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

Overview

We are a leading provider of intelligent inverter solutions that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar PV system. Our direct current (“DC”) optimized inverter system is designed to maximize power generation at the individual PV module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. Supporting increased PV proliferation, the SolarEdge system consists of power optimizers, inverters, communication and smart energy management solutions, and a cloud-based monitoring platform. SolarEdge’s solutions addresses a broad range of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations.

In addition, in the past year, we have expanded our product offering, by acquiring the assets of Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd. (“Gamatronic”), a supplier of uninterruptable power supplies, also known as UPS products (the “Gamatronic Acquisition”); through the acquisition of Kokam Co., Ltd. (“Kokam”), a world provider of lithium ion batteries (the “Kokam Acquisition”); as well as our entry into the e-mobility market, through the acquisition of


5


S.M.R.E S.p.A (“SMRE”), an Italian company providing innovative integrated powertrain technology and electronics for electric vehicles (the “SMRE Acquisition”).

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $410.6 million and $236.6 million, respectively. Gross margin was 33.9% and 33.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net income was $41.6 million and $45.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $1,007.4 million and $673.6 million, respectively. Gross margin was 33.4% and 35.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net income was $93.8 million and $115.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We are a leader in the global module-level power electronics (“MLPE”) market according to HIS Research dated from September 9, 2019 and as of September 30, 2019, we have shipped approximately 45.4 million power optimizers and 1.9 million inverters. Over 1.25 million installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud‑based monitoring platform. As of September 30, 2019, we have shipped approximately 14.6 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems.

Key Operating Metrics

In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements with other operating metrics. These operating metrics are utilized by our management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and formulate projections. We use metrics relating to shipments (inverters shipped, power optimizers shipped and megawatts shipped) to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products. We use metrics relating to monitoring (systems monitored) to evaluate market acceptance of our products and usage of our solution.

We provide the “megawatts shipped” metric, which is calculated based on nameplate capacity shipped, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues increase with each additional unit, not necessarily each additional MW of capacity, sold. Accordingly, we also provide the “inverters shipped” and “power optimizers shipped” operating metrics.

Revenues increased by $174.0 million, or 73.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to (i) an increase in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold, with significant growth in revenues coming from Europe, the United States (“U.S.”) and Israel; and (ii) revenues from the new businesses we acquired over the past year, which include sales of UPS units, batteries, storage systems, and products sold by SMRE, in the aggregate amount of $22.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 51.8% of our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 49.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The number of power optimizers sold increased by approximately 1.6 million units, or 52.8%, from approximately 3.0 million units in the three months ended September 30, 2018 to approximately 4.6 million units in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The number of inverters sold increased by approximately 63,300 units, or 51.2%, from approximately 123,700 units in the three months ended September 30, 2018 to approximately 187,000 units in the three months ended September 30, 2019. In addition, we increased prices in the U.S. in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, in order to offset the impact of the increase in tariffs on goods made in China that became effective June 1, 2019. This increase in selling prices was partially offset by the devaluation of the Euro and the Australian Dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar, negatively impacting our U.S. Dollar denominated average selling price (“ASP”). Overall, and primarily due to the factors

detailed above, ASP per watt increased by 21.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Cost of revenues increased by $112.7 million, or 71.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to: increased volume of products sold which is reflected in the XX% growth in revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018:

increased customs tariffs, shipment and logistics costs of $26.7 million attributed to the change in tariffs rate on Chinese made products imported to the U.S. from 10% to 25% as well as increased air shipments resulting from increased demands which required us to expedite shipments for timely delivery;

increased warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $13.3 million associated primarily with the rapid increase of products in our install base;

inclusion of variable costs related to the manufacturing of Kokam and SMRE products in the aggregate amount of $10.7 million, which were not included in the cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as those businesses were acquired after September 2018;

increased personnel-related costs of $5.0 million connected to the expansion of our operations and support headcount which is growing in parallel to our growing install base worldwide and in connection with entering the battery and integrated powertrain technology businesses; and;

increased amortization of intangible assets and cost of product adjustment of $2.1million related to the Gamatronic Acquisition, the Kokam Acquisition and the SMRE Acquisition;

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 33.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, to 33.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to:

increased profit on the units sold due to a combination of stable average selling prices and cost reductions achieved in manufacturing these products;

general economies of scale in our personnel-related costs and other costs associated with our support and operations departments;

decreased support costs related to our warranty obligations;

higher gross profit related to the acquired businesses;

These were partially offset by:

increased shipment and logistics costs resulting from our expedited growth, new customs tariff rules in the U.S. and increase in air shipments;

increased selling prices in the U.S. offset by increased tariff expenses presented in cost of goods sold;

increased warranty accruals due to the increase in our install base; and

amortization of intangible assets and cost of product adjustment related to the Kokam Acquisition and the SMRE Acquisition.

Financial expenses increased by $16.3 million, or 2,371% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to three months ended September 30, 2018.

The increase in financial expenses is primarily attributed to:

an increase of $14.5 million in foreign exchange expenses between the Euro, the New Israeli Shekel, the Australian Dollar and the South Korean Won against the U.S. Dollar;

an increase of $0.8 million in foreign exchange fluctuations of lease agreements’ liabilities as part of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, (Topic 842) "Leases"

an increase of $0.3 million in interest expenses, mainly related to advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year, as part of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606); and

an increase of $0.3 million in bank charges and other financial expenses.

Taxes on income were $7.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to tax benefits of 12.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to:

tax expenses incurred in the U.S. of $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to tax benefit of $13.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2018, related to a one time change in our estimate with respect to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings and assessment of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) inclusion;

an increase of $6.0 million in current tax expenses in Israel, mainly attributed to the expiration of the two year tax exemption in Israel which ended on December 31, 2018; and

an increase of $0.3 million in current and prior year tax expenses in other jurisdictions.

The increase in these expenses was offset by:

an increase of $0.6 million deferred tax assets (presented as tax benefit) in Israel and the U.S; and

an increase of $0.6 million in deferred tax assets, net (presented as tax benefit) in other jurisdictions, mainly related to deferred tax assets as a result of the Kokam and SMRE acquisitions.

a decrease of $2.3 million deferred tax assets in Israel and the U.S.

The increase in these expenses was offset by:

an increase of $2.5 million in deferred tax assets, net (presented as tax benefit) in other jurisdictions, mainly related to deferred tax assets as a result of the Kokam and SMRE acquisitions; and

As of September 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $247.3 million. This amount does not include $178.2 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $7.4 million invested in short-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits. We believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $175.9 million, derived mainly from a net income of $92.6 million that included $54.5 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $49.6 million in warranty obligations, $39.6 million in accrued expenses and other accounts payable, $21.3 million in trade payables, $19.5 million of deferred revenues, $15.3 million in accruals for employees, $2.1 in operating lease liabilities and $15.8 million decrease in inventories, which were offset by an increase of $114.6 million in trade receivables, net, and $19.8 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $142.2 million, derived mainly from a net income of $115.9 million that included $26.8 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $28.8 million in warranty obligations, $21.6 million of deferred revenues, $13.2 million in trade payables, net and other accounts payable and $1.2 million in accruals for employees which were offset by an increase of $42.4 million in trade receivables, net, $18.1 million in inventories and $4.8 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $58.4 million, of which $103.7 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $39.7 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements, net, $38.4 million was utilized for SMRE acquisition, This was offset by $119.6 million from proceeds from sales and the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities and a decrease of $3.8 million in bank deposits.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $121.1 million, of which $143.1 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $30.1 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements, $7.3 million invested in short-term bank deposits and $11.2 million was invested in assets as part of the acquisition of our UPS division. This was offset by $71.6 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $68.3 million, of which $67.1 million related to the purchase of non-controlling interests in Kokam and SMRE, $4.9 million was used for repayment of loan obligations we acquired as part of the Kokam and SMRE Acquisitions and $1.2 million


17


related to the purchase of land and building formerly leased under financial lease. This was offset by $4.9 million attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.9 million, all attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

Debt Obligations

In October 2018, as part of the Kokam Acquisition, we acquired a number of bank loan obligations in an aggregate amount of $20.1 million (the “Kokam Loans”). The Kokam Loans mature in various installments through May 2021 and their annual interest rates are variable. As of September 30, 2019, the interest rates ranged from 2.7% to 5.3% and the aggregate Kokam Loans outstanding were $17.9 million.

In January 2019, as part of the SMRE Acquisition, we acquired a number of bank loans in an aggregate amount of $5.5 million (the “SMRE Loans”). The SMRE Loans mature in various installments through June 2026 and their annual interest rates are variable. As of September 30, 2019, the interest rates ranged from 0.8% to 3.5% and the aggregate SMRE Loans outstanding were $3.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, customer concentrations and interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Approximately 52.3% and 41.8% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were earned in non‑U.S. Dollar denominated currencies, principally the Euro. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, primarily the U.S. Dollar and New Israeli Shekel, and to a lesser extent the Euro and Korean Won. Our New Israeli Shekel‑denominated expenses consist primarily of personnel and overhead costs. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $33.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, between the Korean Won and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

For purposes of our consolidated financial statements, local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. Dollar on the balance sheet date and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction or at the average exchange rate to the U.S. Dollar during the reporting period.

We have in the past and may in the future, use derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward contracts and put and call options, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks by hedging a portion of our account receivable balances. Our foreign currency forward contracts are expected to mitigate exchange rate changes related to the hedged assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had no foreign currency forward transactions and as of September 30, 2019, we had no


18


foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $247.3 million and available-for-sale marketable securities with an estimated fair value of $178.2 million, and $7.4 million invested in bank deposit and restricted bank deposits, which were held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Since most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. Dollar‑denominated money market funds, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents do not have any material exposure to changes in exchange rates.

Concentrations of Major Customers

Our trade accounts receivables potentially expose us to a concentration of credit risk with our major customers. As of September 30, 2019, one major customer accounted for approximately 24.5% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. We currently do not foresee a material, adverse credit risk associated with these receivables.

ITEM 4    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Following the adoption of the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases" on January 1, 2019, we implemented changes to our processes related to leases and the related control activities. There were significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of this new standard.

Based on an evaluation by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, such officers concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In October 2019, we announced that we filed three lawsuits in China against Huawei. The lawsuits, filed in the Regional Courts of Jinan and Shenzhen in China, cite unauthorized use of patented technology, and are intended to protect SolarEdge’s significant investment in its innovative DC optimized inverter technology. Seeking damages and an injunction, the lawsuits are intended to prevent Huawei from manufacturing and selling any products infringing upon SolarEdge’s patented PV inverter and power optimizer technology.


19


In August 2019, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in the civil courts of Milan, Italy against the Italian subsidiary of SMRE that purchased the shares of SMRE in the tender offer which followed the SMRE Acquisition by certain former shareholders of SMRE who tendered their shares. The lawsuit asks for damages of approximately $3 million, representing the difference between the amount for which they tendered their shares (6 Euro per share) and 6.7 Euros per share. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

We believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit and does not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to have a material effect on its balance sheets, statements of income or cash flows.

In addition, as part of the normal course of business, we may from time to time be named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints (including as a result of initiating such legal claims, action or complaints on behalf of the Company), including the matters described in Item 1 of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019. It is impossible to predict with certainty whether any resulting liability from any such legal claims, actions or complaints would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
