NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1: GENERAL

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) including the Company’s Energy Hub inverter which supports, among other things, connection to a DC-coupled battery for full or partial home backup, and optional connection to the Company's smart EV charger, (iii) a remote cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters to enable customers and system owners, to monitor and manage the solar PV system (iv) a residential storage and backup solution which includes a company designed and manufactured lithium-ion DC-coupled battery that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners including a battery, and (v) additional smart energy management solutions.

The Company and its subsidiaries sell products worldwide through large distributors, electrical equipment wholesalers, as well as directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction firms.

The Company has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology organically and through acquisitions. The Company now offers a variety of energy solutions, which include lithium-ion cells, batteries, and energy storage systems (“Energy Storage”), full powertrain kits for electric vehicles, or EVs (“e-Mobility”), as well as automated machines for industrial use (“Automation Machines”).

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company’s interim period 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, 2022, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. The duration, scope and effects of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, government and other third-party responses to it, and the related macroeconomic effects, including to the Company’s business and the business of the Company’s suppliers and customers are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to this evolving situation. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets, inventories, incremental credit losses on receivables and available-for-sale marketable debt securities, or an increase in the Company’s insurance liabilities as of the time of a relevant measurement event.

Concentrations of supply risks:

The Company depends on two contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers. 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 March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 31.3% and 34.3% of the Company’s total trade payables, net, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company announced the opening of “Sella 2”, a two gigawatt-hour (GWh) Li-Ion battery cell manufacturing facility located in South Korea. Sella 2 began producing and shipping cells at the end of 2022 and is expected to reach full manufacturing capacity in 2023. Sella 2 is the Company's second owned manufacturing facility following the establishment of Sella 1 in 2020. Sella 1 is the Company's manufacturing facility in the North of Israel that produces power optimizers and inverters for the Company's solar activities.

New accounting standards updates:

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued or newly effective standards were not applicable to the Company, did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the risk of a forecasted increase in the value of foreign currency cash flows, resulting from payment of salaries in Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll denominated in NIS for a period of one to nine months with hedging contracts. These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company entered into forward contracts and put and call options to sell U.S. dollars (“USD”) for NIS in the amount of approximately NIS 231 million and NIS 125 million, respectively.

In addition to the above-mentioned cash flow hedge transactions, the Company occasionally enters into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the USD. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815, and therefore all gains and losses, resulting from fair value remeasurement, were recorded immediately in the statement of income, under "Financial income (expense), net".

The Company classifies cash flows related to its hedging as operating activities in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments were as follows:

	Balance sheet location	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Derivative assets of options and forward contracts:
Designated cash flow hedges	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	353		$	-
Derivative liabilities of options and forward contracts:
Designated cash flow hedges	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	(2,583	)	$	(1,874	)

Gains (losses) on derivative instruments are summarized below:

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities, at fair value using the market approach valuation technique. Cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 because these assets are valued using quoted market prices. Marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within level 2 due to these assets being valued by alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair value measurements as of

NOTE 10: CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On September 25, 2020, the Company sold $632,500 aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold pursuant to an indenture, dated September 25, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes do not bear regular interest and mature on September 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Holders may convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2025 in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of that five consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the Indenture. In addition, holders may convert their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time beginning on or after June 15, 2025, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances. The initial conversion rate for the Notes was 3.5997 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $277.80 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the Indenture.

Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain fundamental changes referred to as make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Notes may be increased.

The Convertible Senior Notes consisted of the following as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Liability:
Principal	$	632,500		$	632,500
Unamortized issuance costs		(7,318	)		(8,049	)
Net carrying amount	$	625,182		$	624,451

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded amortized debt issuance costs related to the Notes in the amount of $731 and $728, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, the unamortized issuance costs of the Notes will be amortized over the remaining term of approximately 2.5 years.

The annual effective interest rate of the Notes is 0.47%.

As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Notes, which the Company has classified as Level 2 financial instruments, is $823,730. The estimated fair value was determined based on the quoted bid price of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period.

As of March 31, 2023, the if-converted value of the Notes exceeded the principal amount by $59,537.

NOTE 11: STOCK CAPITAL

a. Common stock rights:

Common stock confers upon its holders the right to receive notice of, and to participate in, all general meetings of the Company, where each share of common stock shall have one vote for all purposes, to share equally, on a per share basis, in bonuses, profits, or distributions out of fund legally available therefor, and to participate in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company in the event of liquidation of the Company.

b. Secondary public offering:

On March 17, 2022, the Company offered and sold 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a public offering price of $295.00 per share. The shares of Common Stock were issued and sold in a registered offering pursuant to the underwriting agreement dated March 17, 2022, among the Company, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriting Agreement”). All of the offered shares were issued at closing, including 300,000 shares of Common Stock that were issued and sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares under the Underwriting Agreement, which was exercised in full on March 18, 2022.

The net proceeds to the Company were $650,526 after deducting underwriters' discounts of $27,140 and commissions of $834.

c. Equity Incentive Plans:

The Company’s 2007 Global Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors on August 30, 2007. The 2007 Plan terminated upon the Company’s IPO on March 31, 2015 and no further awards may be granted thereunder. All outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms and 379,358 available options for future grants 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, restricted stock units ("RSU"), performance stock units ("PSU"), and other share-based awards to directors, employees, officers, and non-employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, a total of 20,853,755 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to stock awards under the 2015 Plan (the “Share Reserve”), an aggregate of 12,005,195 shares are still available for future grants.

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

The Company granted under its 2015 Plan, PSU awards to certain employees and officers which vest upon the achievement of certain performance or market conditions subject to their continued employment with the Company.

In 2021, the Company has also committed to issuing additional shares, which carry certain performance conditions (including business performance targets and a continued service relationship with the Company) and are treated as PSUs for accounting purposes.

The market condition for the PSUs is based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") compared to the TSR of companies listed in the S&P 500 index over a one to three year performance period. The Company uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the grant date fair value for these awards, which takes into consideration the market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant less the present value of dividends expected during the requisite service period, as well as the possible outcomes pertaining to the TSR market condition. The Company recognizes such compensation expenses on an accelerated vesting method.

The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options is 10,000,000. As of March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 8,617,974 options are still available for future grants under the 2015 Plan.

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

a. Guarantees:

As of March 31, 2023, contingent liabilities exist regarding guarantees in the amounts of $5,876, and $1,899 in respect of office rent lease agreements and customs and other transactions, respectively.

b. Contractual purchase obligations:

The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods and raw materials. These contractual purchase obligations relate to inventories and other purchase orders, which cannot be canceled without penalty. In addition, the Company acquires raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing authorizations to its suppliers to purchase materials based on its projected demand and manufacturing needs.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had non-cancelable purchase obligations totaling approximately $1,617,376, out of which the Company recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $8,052.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $121,347. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s general manufacturing process and mainly to its plans to establish manufacturing capabilities in the United States.

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 September 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH, received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG (“SMA”). The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleges that SolarEdge's 12.5kW - 27.6kW inverters infringed on two of the plaintiff’s patents. SMA asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5 million (approximately $5,983) for both patents. The Company challenged the validity of both patents and the first patent was invalidated and SMA’s appeal on the matter was denied in January 2023. In August 2021, the German Patent Court rendered SMA's second patent invalid, and this invalidity has been appealed by SMA and a hearing is pending. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining lawsuit.

On July 28, 2022, the Company was served with complaints filed by Ampt LLC in the International Trade Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, in the District Court for the District of Delaware alleging patent infringement against the Company and its subsidiary SolarEdge Technologies Ltd. On October 24, 2022, the complaint filed in the District Court of Delaware was administratively stayed until the Commission's action is resolved. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the complaints and intend to vigorously defend against them.

As of March 31, 2023, an immaterial amount for legal claims was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

NOTE 14: OTHER OPERATING INCOME

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain from sale of property, plant and equipment and other assets in the amount of $1,434.

NOTE 15: INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was 17.5% and 27.1%, respectively.

The lower tax rate in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2022 is mainly due to the fact that the Company's income before tax, most of which is subject to tax rates lower than the US statutory rate, increased. Conversely, the IRC Section 174 R&D capitalization, and other expenses not recognized for GILTI purposes, did not increase in the same proportion.

As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, unrecognized tax benefits were $2,883 and $2,756, respectively. If recognized, such benefits would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The total amount of penalties and interest were immaterial as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes several incentives intended to promote clean energy, battery and energy storage, electrical vehicles, and other solar products, and is expected to impact our business and operations. As part of such incentives the IRA, will among other things, extend the investment tax credit (“ITC”) through 2034 and is therefore expected to increase the demand for solar products. The IRA is expected to further incentivize residential and commercial solar customers and developers due to the inclusion of a tax credit for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%. Since these regulations are new and their implementation is still pending administrative guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department, the Company will be examining the benefits that may be available to it, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers, in the coming months. The Company also announced its plans to establish manufacturing capabilities in the United States during 2023.

NOTE 17: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Following the discontinuation of Critical Power in June 2022, the Company operates in four different operating segments: Solar, Energy Storage, e-Mobility and Automation Machines.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues and contributed profit by the operating segments.

The Company does not allocate to its operating segments revenue recognized due to advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year, related to Accounting Standard Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606).

Segment profit is comprised of gross profit for the segment less operating expenses that do not include amortization of purchased intangible assets, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, stock based compensation expenses, and certain other items.

The Company manages its assets on a group basis, not by segments, as many of its assets are shared or co-mingled. The Company’s CODM does not regularly review asset information by segments and, therefore, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

The Company identified one operating segment as reportable – the Solar segment. The other operating segments are insignificant individually and therefore their results are presented together under “All other”.

The Solar segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual PV module level and a residential storage solution, compatible with the Company’s Energy Hub inverter, intended to store and supply power for back-up and to maximize self-consumption.

Overview

We are a leading provider of an optimized inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic, known as PV systems. Our direct current or DC optimized inverter system maximizes power generation while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system, for improved return on investment, or ROI. Additional benefits of the DC optimized inverter system include comprehensive and advanced safety features, improved design flexibility, efficient integration (DC coupled) with SolarEdge storage solutions, and improved operating and maintenance, or O&M with remote monitoring at the module level. The SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter which supports, among other things, connection to a DC-coupled battery for full or partial home backup, and optional connection to the SolarEdge smart EV charger. The typical SolarEdge optimized inverter system consists of power optimizers, inverters, a communication device which enables access to a cloud-based monitoring platform and in many cases, a battery and additional smart energy management solutions. Our solutions address a broad range of solar market segments, from residential to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations.

Since introducing the optimized inverter solution in 2010, SolarEdge has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology, both through organic growth and through acquisitions. SolarEdge now offers energy solutions which also include energy storage systems or ESS, home backup systems, electric vehicle or EV components and charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants or VPPs, and lithium-ion batteries.

In the third quarter of 2020, we began commercial shipments to the U.S. from our manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”. The proximity of Sella 1 to our R&D team and labs, enables us to accelerate new product development cycles, as well as define equipment and manufacturing processes of newly developed products which can then be adopted by our contract manufacturers world-wide. In 2023, we plan to expand the manufacturing capacity of Sella 1 to add an additional inverter line. In May 2022, we announced the opening of “Sella 2”, a 2GWh Li-Ion cell factory in Korea. The new factory is intended to help the Company meet the growing global demand for Li-Ion cells and batteries, specifically in the ESS market. Sella 2 began producing and shipping cells at the end of 2022 and is expected to reach full manufacturing capacity in 2023. In addition, as part of our manufacturing regionalization efforts, we expanded our manufacturing capabilities with a manufacturing site in Mexico significantly increased our capacity and gave us further flexibility to manage growing demand. In light of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) legislation in the United States which incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of US-manufactured products, as well as by incentivizing manufacturers of such products domestically, we are planning to establish manufacturing capabilities in the United States by using contract manufacturers and by establishing our own manufacturing facility.

We are a leader in the global module-level power electronics or MLPE market. As of March 31, 2023, we shipped approximately 114.1 million power optimizers, 4.9 million inverters and 171.2 thousand residential batteries. Over 3.3 million installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud-based monitoring platform. As of March 31, 2023, we shipped approximately 43.6 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 1.2 GWh of our residential batteries.

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 were $943.9 million and $655.1 million, respectively. Gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was 31.8% and 27.3%, respectively. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $138.4 million and $33.1 million, respectively.

Global Circumstances Influencing our Business and Operations

Covid-19 Impact & Response

Due to the worldwide growing trend in availability and administration of vaccines against Covid-19, many restrictions that were placed during the pandemic were gradually lifted by governments across the globe. However, the future impact of the Covid-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain. Resurgences of Covid-19 cases and the emergence of new variants may adversely impact our results of operations. For example, in the second quarter of 2022, the mandatory government shutdowns resulting from the increase in Covid-19 cases in Shanghai, that were eased in the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, led to delays in our scheduled shipments from the Shanghai port. Our first priority continues to be to protect and support our employees while maintaining company operations and support of our customers with as few disruptions as possible. We follow the guidance issued by applicable local authorities and health officials in each region in which we do business, including in our headquarters located in Israel.

While we have not experienced any new disruptions resulting directly from Covid-19 in the first quarter of 2023, long lasting impacts of the pandemic and general global economic conditions continue to present challenges to our operations and business. In the first quarter of 2023, we continued to witness a decrease in shipment prices and transit times, both however are still not at their pre-Covid-19 levels. In fiscal 2022 as a whole and the first quarter of 2023 specifically, the industry-wide component shortages which originated from Covid-19 and amplified by the increase in demand for our products, as well as other manufacturers who are competing for the same components, continued to impact our ability to accurately plan and forecast the delivery of our products to customers and have also increased cost of ocean and air freight for components and finished goods. To mitigate the impact of these disruptions on our supply chain, we extended in some cases shipment terms that differ from our standard terms in certain transactions, including Free-Carrier and Ex-works (INCOTERMS, 2020) delivery from our manufacturing facilities. This change was implemented as part of our ongoing efforts to expedite shipments to our customers and improve visibility throughout our supply chain. Moreover, industry-wide component shortages require our R&D teams to focus their attention on manufacturing and production design workarounds solutions, which can impact our ability to meet our plans to roll out new innovative products and services and may also result in a higher failure rate of products due to the rapid changes in product designs made prior to the commercial release of the products. Our operation team is working tirelessly to mitigate the impact of the disruptions described above.

Impact of Ukraine’s Conflict on the Energy Landscape

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which started in early 2022, and the sanctions and other measures imposed in response to this conflict have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While we do not have any meaningful business in Russia or Ukraine and we do not have physical assets in these countries, this conflict has, and is likely to continue to have, a multidimensional impact on the global economy, the energy landscape in general and the global supply chain. On one hand, in 2022, rising global interest in becoming less dependent on gas and oil led to higher demand for our products. On the other hand, the conflict further adversely affected the prices of raw materials arriving from Eastern Asia and resulted in an increase in gas and oil prices. Furthermore, various shipment routes were adversely impacted by the conflict resulting in increased shipment lead times and shipping costs for our products. While the impact of this conflict cannot be predicted at this time, the circumstances described above may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes several incentives intended to promote clean energy, battery and energy storage, electrical vehicles, and other solar products and is expected to impact our business and operations. As part of such incentives the IRA, will among other things, extend the investment tax credit (“ITC”) for residential solar installations through 2034 and for commercial installations through 2024 and is therefore expected to increase the demand for solar products. The IRA is expected to further incentivize residential and commercial solar customers and developers due to the inclusion of a tax credit for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%. Since these regulations are new and are still pending administrative guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department we will be examining the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers, in the coming months. To the extent that tax benefits or credits may be available to competing technology and not to our technology, our business could be adversely disadvantaged.

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 of inverters, power optimizers and megawatts 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” and “megawatts hour shipped” metrics, which are calculated based on inverter or battery nameplate capacity shipped, respectively, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter or battery, and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total nameplate capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues may increase in a non-correlated manner to the “megawatt shipped” metric since other products such as power optimizers, are not accounted for in this metric.

	Three months ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Inverters shipped		329,653		211,114
Power optimizers shipped		6,440,683		5,724,131
Megawatts shipped¹		3,608		2,130
Megawatts hour shipped - residential batteries		221		100

¹ Excluding residential batteries, based on the aggregate nameplate capacity of inverters shipped during the applicable period. Nameplate capacity is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter as specified by the manufacturer.

Revenues

	Three Months Ended March 31,				2022 to 2023
	2023		2022		Change
	(In thousands)
Revenues		943,889		655,080		288,809	44.1	%

Revenues increased by $288.8 million, or 44.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to (i) an increase of $245.4 million related to the number of inverters and power optimizers sold, with significant growth in revenues coming from Europe; and (ii) an increase of $64.6 million related to the number of residential batteries, sold primarily in Europe. Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 72.6% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 59.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The number of power optimizers recognized as revenues increased by approximately 0.8 million units, or 14.7%, from approximately 5.7 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to approximately 6.5 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The number of inverters recognized as revenues increased by approximately 126 thousand units, or 61.2%, from approximately 206 thousand units in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to approximately 332 thousand units in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Our blended Average Selling Price (“ASP”) per watt for solar products excluding residential batteries is calculated by dividing the solar revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of residential batteries, by the nameplate capacity of inverters shipped. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products decreased by $0.052, or 19.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to the increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized with lower ASP per watt, out of our total solar product mix, a relatively lower number of power optimizers and other solar products shipped compared to the number of inverters shipped, leading to a reduced overall effect on our ASP per watt. Moreover, the depreciation of the Euro and other currencies against the U.S. Dollar, coupled with our increased sales in Europe, accelerated this effect. This decrease in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by price increases that went into effect gradually during 2022 and 2023.

Our blended ASP per watt/hour for residential batteries is calculated by dividing residential batteries revenues, by the nameplate capacity of residential batteries shipped. Our blended ASP per watt/hour for residential batteries decreased by $0.055, or 10.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in blended ASP per watt/hour is mainly attributed to the addition of a three phase battery, that is sold at a lower ASP per watt/hour, to our product portfolio and the Euro’s depreciation against the U.S. Dollar. The combination of these factors, along with our growing European battery sales, has amplified this impact.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended March 31,				2022 to 2023
	2023		2022		Change
	(In thousands)
Cost of revenues		643,763		476,122		167,641	35.2	%
Gross profit		300,126		178,958		121,168	67.7	%

Cost of revenues increased by $167.6 million, or 35.2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to:

•

an increase in direct cost of revenues sold of $98.4 million associated primarily with an increase in the volume of products sold;

•

an increase in warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $43.5 million associated primarily with an increased number of products in our install base;

•

an increase of $10.0 million in inventory accrual which is mainly attributed to changes in inventory valuations, and higher inventory accruals related to our initial manufacturing in Sella 2;

•

an increase in shipment and logistic costs in an aggregate amount of $5.5 million due to an increase in volumes shipped, which was partially offset by a decrease in air and expedited shipments and by a decrease in shipment rates;

•

an increase in personnel-related costs of $4.8 million, related to the expansion of our production, operations, and support headcount, which grew in parallel to our growing install base worldwide and manufacturing volumes which were partially offset by the depreciation of the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and the Euro against the U.S. dollar; and

•

an increase in other production costs of $1.4 million, which is mainly attributed to ramp up costs associated with Sella 2.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 27.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 31.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to:

•

gradual price increases across our product offerings;

•

a decline in the portion of air and expedited shipments, as well as a decrease in shipment rates;

•

favorable exchange rates on our cost of revenues;

•

decreased custom duties in the U.S. mainly attributed to a decrease in the portion of products manufactured in China; and

•

continued cost reduction efforts.

These were partially offset by:

•

an increased portion of sales of commercial products out of our total product mix, that are characterized with lower gross margin ;

•

unfavorable exchange rates on our sales outside of the U.S.;

•

an increase in warranty expenses and warranty accruals associated primarily with the change in the composition of our install base, as well as an increase in costs related to the different components of our warranty expenses, as reflected in our actual support costs; and

•

a negative impact on margin attributed to our non-solar businesses, that are characterized by a lower gross profit.

Income taxes increased by $17.0 million, or 138.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase of $19.6 million in current tax expenses, mainly attributed to an increase in profit before tax in our foreign subsidiaries. This increase was partially offset by an increase of $2.7 million in deferred tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the stated periods:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		7,923			(162,989	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(67,780	)		(15,134	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(5,222	)		652,335
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(65,079	)		474,212

As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $727.8 million. This amount does not include $919.9 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $0.3 million invested in restricted bank deposits. Our principal uses of cash are for funding our operations, capital expenditures, other working capital requirements and other investments. As of March 31, 2023, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $121.3 million. These commitments mainly reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to our manufacturing and operations. We also have purchase obligations in the amount of $1,617.4 million related to raw materials and commitments for the future manufacturing of our products.

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, as well as our cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, as well as in the longer term, including the self-funding of our capital expenditure and operational commitments.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating cash flows in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7.9 million as compared to $163.0 million used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly due to higher net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and favorable changes in working capital due to a decrease in shipping times to customers which shortened the period of time between payment to our vendors and delivery to and collection from our customers, partially offset by an increase in inventory procurement in response to increased demand for our products and increased purchasing of battery cells for our residential storage solution.

Investing Activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, investment in, sales and maturities of available for sale marketable securities, investment and withdrawal of bank deposits and restricted bank deposits, cash used for acquisitions and cash provided by the sale of equity investments. Cash used for investing activities increased by $52.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by a $41.5 million decrease in proceeds provided by sales and maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities, an increase of $12.3 million in investments in available-for-sale marketable securities, and by a $5.5 million increase in an investment in a privately-held company. This increase in cash used for investing activities was partially offset by a decrease of $4.9 million in capital expenditures, as well as a $1.4 million increase in cash provided due to withdrawal from bank deposits and restricted bank deposits.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consisted primarily of the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in a public offering and employee equity incentive plans. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $5.2 million compared to $652.3 million cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to a $650.5 million decrease in cash provided by the issuance of common stock, net through a secondary public offering which occurred in March 2022.

Secondary public offering

On March 17, 2022, we offered and sold 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $295.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company after underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering costs were $650.5 million. We intend to use the proceeds from the public offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions. See Note 11b to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

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 69.5% and 56.9% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, 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, New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), Euro, and to a lesser extent, the South Korean Won (“KRW”). Our NIS 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 between the Euro and the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $95.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates between the NIS and the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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.

To date, we have used derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward contracts and put and call options, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks by hedging portions of the anticipated payroll payments denominated in NIS. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.

In addition, from time to time we enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly forward contracts to sell Euro and AUD for U.S. dollars. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges.

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, 2023, two major customers jointly accounted for approximately 27.8% of our consolidated trade receivables, net balance. As of December 31, 2022, three major customers jointly accounted for approximately 42.4% of our consolidated trade receivables, net balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 two major customers jointly accounted for approximately 21.9% of our total revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 one major customer accounted for approximately 23.5% of our total revenues.

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials which are used in our products, including Copper, Lithium, Nickel and Cobalt. Prices of these raw materials may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time, and we do not enter into hedging arrangements to mitigate commodity risk. Significant price changes for these raw materials could reduce our operating margins if we are unable to recover such increases from our customers, and could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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 March 31, 2023. 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

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 the third fiscal quarter of 2023 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), including the matters described in Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent quarterly filings. 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.
