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”).

Since 2018, the Company completed certain strategic acquisitions in order to further expand its business.

In July and October 2018, the Company completed the acquisition ("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 March 31, 2019, the Company increased its shareholdings of Kokam to 94.2%.

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 (see note 2).

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 evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement.

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 the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 also applies to employee benefit plan accounting, with an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows.

c.
Recently issued and adopted pronouncement:

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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) (see Note 1c).

e.
The Company depends on three contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers. The Company is in the process of discontinuing its activity with one of those contract manufacturers. Reliance on these vendors makes the Company vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs.

These three vendors collectively accounted for 48.7% and 58.8% of the Company’s total trade payables as of March 31, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company has the right to offset its payables to one of its contract manufacturers against vendor non-trade receivables. As of March 31, 2019 (unaudited), a total of $1,784 of these receivables met the criteria for net recognition and were offset against the corresponding accounts payable balances for this contract manufacturer in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

f.
Business Combination:

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair value. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired technology, useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

g.
Accounting for share-based compensation:

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

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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 approximately $73.9 million, 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 SMRE Acquisition, the Company issued 334,096 PSUs that are subject to certain performance goals and a vesting period, at the amount of $13,444, which will be expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operation in general and administrative expenses line item.

As of January 24, 2019, the fair value of the 43.2% non-controlling interests in SMRE is estimated to be $67.7 million. The fair value of the non-controlling interests was valued based on and at the transaction price.

The primary reason for the SMRE Acquisition was to acquire technology and customer relationships and to expand and diversify the Company’s business by entering into the electric vehicles market.

The Company determined that the SMRE Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations".

During the period from the SMRE Acquisition through March 31, 2019, the Company purchased additional common shares of SMRE in the open market, for a further investment of $1.2 million.
 
The amounts of revenue and net loss of SMRE included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period from January 24, 2019 through March 31, 2019 are $2,902 and $1,879, respectively.

The Company is expecting to complete the preliminary estimated purchase price allocation during the measurement period of one year from January 24, 2019. Fair values that are still under review include among others, values assigned to identifiable intangible assets, goodwill, deferred income taxes and contingent liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $453 of aggregate acquisition-related costs that were expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in general and administrative expenses line item.

The purchase price allocations for the business combinations completed during the year ended December 31, 2018 are still preliminary as of March 31, 2019.

The following table represents the pro-forma (unaudited) condensed consolidated statements of operations as if all acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019, had been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (unaudited) and 2018 (unaudited):

The pro-forma results have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of all acquisitions to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied since the acquisitions date, together with the consequential tax effects.

The pro-forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. The pro-forma results are not the results that would have been realized had the acquisitions actually occurred on January 1, 2018 and 2019, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in future periods. The pro-forma results include adjustments related to business combinations accounting, primarily depreciation of property plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and together with the consequential tax effects.

The reported amount of net acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill can fluctuate due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intangible assets and goodwill not denominated in U.S. dollars.

Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company will amortize its finite- lived intangible assets over a period of 7-10 years.

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.

LEASES

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” effective on January 1, 2019, which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of the beginning of the fiscal year, January 1, 2019. Prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below.

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.

The Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) effective upon the consummation of the IPO. As of March 31, 2019 (unaudited), a total of 2,199,808 shares were reserved for issuance under this plan. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will increase automatically on January 1st of each year, for ten years, by the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year or 487,643 shares. However, the Company’s board of directors may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year at their discretion, including a reduction to zero.
 
The ESPP is implemented through an offering every six months. According to the ESPP, eligible employees may use up to 10% of their salaries to purchase common stock shares up to an aggregate limit of $10 per participant for every six months plan. The price of an ordinary share purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the ordinary share on the subscription date of each offering period or on the purchase date.
 
As of March 31, 2019 (unaudited), 385,646 common stock shares had been purchased under the ESPP.
 
As of March 31, 2019 (unaudited), 1,814,162 common stock shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP.

In addition, in the past year, we have expanded our product offering to include uninterruptable power supplies, also known as UPS products by means of acquiring the assets for such business (the “Gamatronic Acquisition”) and to include lithium ion batteries through the acquisition of Kokam Co. Ltd. (the Kokam Acquisition”).
 
In January 2019, we closed an acquisition of 56.8% of S.M.R.E S.p.A (“SMRE”) (the “SMRE Acquisition”), an Italian provider of innovative integrated powertrain technology and electronics for electric vehicles. Since the SMRE Acquisition and subsequent to the close of the quarter, we have increased our shareholdings in SMRE to approximately 99.6%. On April 25, 2019 SMRE’s shares were delisted from the Italian AIM.
 
Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $271.9 million and $209.9 million, respectively. Gross margin was 31.7% and 37.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net income was $19.0 million and $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
We are a leader in the global module-level power electronics (“MLPE”) market according to GTM Research and as of March 31, 2019, we have shipped approximately 37.1 million power optimizers and 1.5 million inverters. Over 1,000,000 installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud‑based monitoring platform. As of March 31, 2019, we have shipped approximately 11.8 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 $62.0 million, or 29.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to (i) an increase in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold, with significant growth in revenues coming from Europe, Australia and Israel, and (ii) revenues from the new businesses we acquired over the past nine months, which includes sales of UPS units, batteries, storage systems, and SMRE related products, in the aggregate amount of $18.8 million. Non-U.S. revenues comprised 56.3% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 43.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
 
The number of power optimizers sold increased by approximately 0.6 million units, or 25.5%, from approximately 2.4 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to approximately 3.0 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The number of inverters sold increased by approximately 33,000 units, or 34.0%, from approximately 99,000 units in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to approximately 132,000 units in the three months ended March 31, 2019. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, the pricing environment remained stable for our prices denominated in local currencies in the countries in which we sell. However, the devaluation of the Euro and the Australian dollar compared to the U.S. Dollar, negatively impacted our U.S. Dollar denominated average selling price (“ASP”). In addition, revenues from sale of commercial products that are characterized with lower ASP per watt increased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Overall, and primarily due to the factors detailed above, ASP decreased by 17.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

%
 
Cost of revenues increased by $55.5 million, or 42.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to:
 
·
an increase in the volume of products sold;
 
·
inclusion of variable costs related to the assembly of UPS products and the manufacturing of Kokam and SMRE products in the aggregate amount of $14.3 million, which were not included in the cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as those businesses were acquired after July 2018;
 
·
increased warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $9.0 million associated with the rapid increase of products in our install base;
 
·
increased personnel-related costs of $4.3 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 UPS, battery and integrated powertrain technology businesses;
 
·
increased shipment and logistics costs of $2.0 million attributed to the growth in volume of products shipped;
 
·
increased of amortization of intangible assets and cost of product adjustment of $1.8 million related to the UPS assets acquisition, Kokam Acquisition and SMRE Acquisition; and
 
·
depreciation expenses related to manufacturing that increased by $0.9 million.
 
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 37.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 31.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to: ASP erosion related to foreign currency changes for our non U.S. Dollars sales while manufacturing costs of the same units are U.S. Dollar denominated;
 
·
increased warranty and support services expenses and accruals;
 
·
price reductions outpacing our costs reductions, primarily in commercial systems;
 
·
lower gross profit from our UPS, battery business and SMRE products and due to underutilization of production facilities; and
 
·
amortization of intangible assets and cost of product adjustment related to the UPS assets acquisition, Kokam Acquisition and SMRE Acquisition.
 
These were partially offset by:
 
·
increased efficiency in our supply chain; and
 
·
general economies of scale in our personnel-related costs and other costs associated with our support and operations departments.

As of March 31, 2019, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $228.3 million. This amount does not include $164.3 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $6.1 million invested in short-term bank deposits. As of March 31, 2019, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $30.2 million. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to our manufacturing. 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 three months ended March 31, 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $56.5 million, derived mainly from a net income of $18.0 million that included $15.5 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $20.3 million in accrued expenses and other accounts payable, $14.9 million in warranty obligations, $3.3 million in accruals for employees, $1.7 million of deferred revenues and a decrease of $10.9 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables and $1.0 million in inventories. This was offset by a decrease of $21.7 million in trade payables, net and an increase of $7.4 million in trade receivables.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $64.0 million, derived mainly from a net income of $35.7 million that included $8.8 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $20.0 million in trade payables and other accounts payable, $7.2 million in accruals for employees, $9.4 million in warranty obligations, $7.0 million of deferred revenues and a decrease of $9.2 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables, which were offset by an increase of $17.9 million in trade receivables, net, and $15.4 million in inventories.
 
 Investing Activities
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $20.7 million, of which $39.3 million was utilized for SMRE acquisition, $15.3 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $10.6 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements and $0.1 million invested in short-term bank deposits. This was offset by $44.6 million from sales and maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 million, of which $25.5 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $11.3 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements. This was offset by $34.5 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.
 
Financing Activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million, of which $2.0 million related to the purchase of non-controlling interests and $1.0 million was used for repayment of loan obligations we acquired as part of Kokam and SMRE Acquisition. This was offset by $0.3 million attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options and $0.1 million related to proceed from new bank loan.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $4.6 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 March 31, 2019, the interest rates ranged from 2.91% to 4.14% and the aggregate Kokam Loans outstanding were $19.1 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 March 31, 2019, the interest rates ranged from 0.8% to 3.50% and the aggregate SMRE Loans outstanding were $5.1 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 52.4% and 38.6% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2019, between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2019, between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2019, between the Korean Won and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 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, 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 three months ended March 31, 2019, we had no foreign currency forward transactions and as of March 31, 2019, we had no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
 
As of March 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $228.3 million, available-for-sale marketable securities with an estimated fair value of $164.3 million and $6.1 million invested in short-term 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 March 31, 2019, one major customer accounted for approximately 13.1% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. We currently do not foresee a 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 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 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). 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.
 
On May 8, 2019, the Company received notice that Huawei has filed two lawsuits in the Guangzhou intellectual property court against the Company's two Chinese subsidiaries and its equipment manufacturer in China. The lawsuit alleges infringement of two patents and asks for an injunction of manufacture, use, sale and offer for sale, and damage awards of approximately USD 3.1 million. The Company has not yet been served, believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
