−Removed: Compensation Objectives and Guiding Principles
−Removed: The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:
−Removed: Pay for Performance:
−Removed: Motivate, recognize and reward superior performance and individual contributions.
−Removed: Alignment of Interests:
−Removed: We seek to align the interests of our senior executives with those of our stockholders.
−Removed: Attraction, Motivation, and Retention of Talent:
−Removed: Our senior executive compensation programs are designed to help us attract, motivate and retain key management talent who drive profitability and the creation of stockholder value
−Removed: Elements of Compensation
−Removed: The following table describes each element of our senior executive compensation program and how these elements achieve our compensation objectives:
−Removed: Compensation Element
−Removed: Rationale/Key Characteristics
−Removed: • Fixed compensation
−Removed: • Intended to be commensurate with each senior executive’s position and level of responsibility
−Removed: • Evaluated annually or as necessary in response to organizational/business changes, individual performance, market data, etc., but are not automatically increased
−Removed: Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
−Removed: Alignment of Interests
−Removed: • Tied to Company and, for all NEOs other than the CEO, individual performance
−Removed: • Designed to reward achievement of annual performance goals that we consider important contributors to stockholder value
−Removed: • Performance goals and targets are established by the compensation committee at the beginning of each calendar year
−Removed: • The compensation committee approves annual cash incentive award payouts based on the level of achievement of these pre-established goals
−Removed: Long-Term Incentives
−Removed: Restricted Stock Units
−Removed: Performance-Vested Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”)
−Removed: Alignment of Interests
−Removed: Alignment of Interest
−Removed: • Since options have no value unless the value of our common stock increases, it aligns the interests with our stockholders.
−Removed: • The multiyear vesting encourages retention since recipients need to remain
−Removed: employed in order for vesting to occur.
−Removed: • Variable compensation designed to reward contributions to our long-term strategic, financial and operational success, motivate future performance, align the interests of senior executives with those of stockholders and retain key senior executives through the term of the awards
−Removed: • PRSUs are at risk through the applicable performance period and depend upon the achievement of key performance measures that drive value for our stockholders thus aligning the interests of our senior executives with our stockholders and, following achievement of applicable performance goals, become subject to service-based vesting restrictions that serve to retain senior executives
−Removed: Other Compensation and Benefits
−Removed: · NEOs receive benefits that are generally available to all salaried employees in Israel, where the NEOs are located.
−Removed: This includes contributions to an education fund and to a fund known as Manager’s Insurance, which provides a combination of retirement plan, insurance and severance pay benefits to Israeli employees.
−Removed: · NEOs receive benefits that we generally make available to all salaried employees, including participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
−Removed: Change in Control Arrangements
−Removed: • Certain of our NEOs have a clause in their employment agreement that entitles them to immediate vesting of equity in the event of a termination within one year following a change in control (“double-trigger” equity vesting)
−Removed: • Keep management’s highest priority on stockholder interests in the face of events that may result in a change-in-control and not on potential individual implications of any such events
−Removed: • Reasonable change-in-control protections for our senior executives are necessary in order for us to attract and retain qualified employees
−Removed: • We periodically review the necessity and design of our senior executive severance and change-in-control arrangements
−Removed: Implementing Compensation Objectives
−Removed: Determining Compensation
−Removed: In making compensation decisions, we review the performance of the Company and each senior executive.
−Removed: We also consider the senior executive’s level of responsibility, the importance of the senior executive’s role in achieving our corporate objectives, and the senior executive’s long-term potential, while taking into account his or her current target compensation, value of outstanding equity awards and stock ownership levels, and our stock selling restrictions for senior executives.
−Removed: Finally, we weigh competitive practices, relevant business and organizational changes, retention needs and internal pay equity.
−Removed: In order to attract, retain and motivate the best management talent, we believe that we must provide a target compensation package that is competitive relative to our peers.
−Removed: In connection therewith, the compensation committee considers practices of specific companies that we identified as our peers for executive compensation in 2016 (the “2016 Peer Group”), as well as size-appropriate technology industry survey data.
−Removed: Each year, the compensation committee reviews the market data with the assistance of its external compensation consultant and makes changes as appropriate in order to ensure it continues to appropriately reflect the Company’s size, industry and scope of operations.
−Removed: For fiscal 2016, working with Frederic W.
−Removed: Cook & Co., Inc.
−Removed: (“FW Cook”), the compensation committee approved the below 2016 Peer Group based on multiple factors, including business similarities and broadly comparable financial profiles ( i.e.
−Removed: , revenue, market capitalization, enterprise value and growth profiles).
−Removed: The 2016 Peer Group used for establishing 2016 senior executive target compensation was as follows:
−Removed: Generac Holdings Inc., Verint Systems Inc., MKS Instruments Inc., Stratasys Ltd., Powell Industries Inc., Polypore International Inc., Advanced Energy Industries Inc., Ormat Technologies Ltd., Mellanox Technologies Ltd., Xura Ltd.
−Removed: (formerly Comverse, Inc.), Enphase Energy, Inc., Tessera Technologies Inc., SolarCity Corporation, Vicor Corporation and Wix.com Ltd.
−Removed: When the compensation committee evaluated the 2016 Peer Group, our revenues were positioned at approximately the thirty-fifth percentile compared to the group, our operating income was at approximately the fifty-third percentile and our market capitalization was at approximately the forty-first percentile.
−Removed: After reviewing the peer group data described above, we determined the approximate range within which to target total direct compensation (the sum of base salary, target annual incentive and the grant date fair value of long-term incentives) for our senior executives for 2016.
−Removed: Within that range, we incorporated flexibility to respond to and adjust for the evolving business environment and our specific hiring and retention needs.
−Removed: In general for 2016, we set base salary and short- and long-term incentive compensation opportunities for our senior executives, including the NEOs, at or near the median of the peer group proxy and survey data, where applicable.
−Removed: As described below, individual levels varied from the targeted position for each of the elements of target total direct compensation based on the compensation committee’s overall subjective evaluation of individual performance, senior executive responsibilities relative to benchmark position responsibilities, and individual skill set and experience.
−Removed: Role of Compensation Committee and Management
−Removed: The compensation committee has primary responsibility for overseeing the design and implementation of our senior executive compensation programs.
−Removed: The compensation committee, with input from the other independent directors, evaluates the performance of the CEO.
−Removed: The compensation committee then recommends CEO compensation to the independent directors for approval.
−Removed: The CEO and the compensation committee together review the performance of our other senior executives, and the compensation committee determines their compensation based on recommendations from the CEO.
−Removed: The executives do not play a role in their own individual compensation determinations.
−Removed: Role of Compensation Consultants
−Removed: With respect to decisions for 2016 target compensation of the NEOs, competitive review of senior executive and non-employee director compensation programs and peer group review for 2016, the compensation committee retained FW Cook to review market trends and advise the compensation committee.
−Removed: FW Cook is the sole compensation consultant of the compensation committee.
−Removed: Our compensation committee has concluded that no conflicts of interest exist with respect to FW Cook’s provision of services after considering the following six factors:
−Removed: (i) the provision of other services to us by FW Cook;
−Removed: (ii) the amount of fees FW Cook received from us as a percentage of the total revenue of FW Cook;
−Removed: (iii) the policies and procedures of FW Cook that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;
−Removed: (iv) any business or personal relationship of the FW Cook consultants with a member of the compensation committee;
−Removed: (v) any of our stock owned by the FW Cook consultants;
−Removed: and (vi) any business or personal relationship of the FW Cook consultants or FW Cook with any of our executive officers.
−Removed: The compensation committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of FW Cook.
−Removed: FW Cook reported directly to the compensation committee, although the compensation committee instructed FW Cook to work with management to compile information and to gain an understanding of the Company and any Company-related issues for consideration by the compensation committee, including market trends.
−Removed: Compensation-Related Governance Policies
−Removed: Stock Ownership and Holding Guidelines
−Removed: Effective March 31, 2015, all of our employees, including the NEOs, are subject to our Insider Trading Policy which forbids employees to trade in the Company’s stock, or any derivatives thereof, while holding non-public material information or during the Company’s set “black-out periods”.
−Removed: Compensation of the Named Executive Officers
−Removed: In determining target total compensation for our NEOs for 2016, we evaluated the financial and operational performance of the Company and considered each senior executive’s contributions to that performance.
−Removed: As part of the annual senior executive compensation review, the compensation committee reviewed independent market data as well as then-current pay levels of the Company’s senior executives, the Company’s pay philosophy and corporate performance, and the individual performance of the Company’s senior executives.
−Removed: For a discussion of the Company’s 2016 performance, see “ Executive Summary — 2016 Results and Key Events ” above.
−Removed: The compensation committee (and the independent directors, in the case of the CEO) approved fiscal 2016 base salaries for the NEOs in August 2015.
−Removed: The salaries reflected significant increases in base salaries for all of our NEOs, which were made to:
−Removed: (i) align the cash/equity mix of compensation to that of a publicly–traded, profitable Company following the Company’s recent IPO;
−Removed: and (ii) to fall within the range of the median relative to the benchmarking market data, consistent with the compensation committee’s stated philosophy, as noted above.
−Removed: The following table sets forth the 2016 base salaries for the NEOs:
−Removed: Name and Principal Position
−Removed: Annual base salary prior to increase
−Removed: Annual base salary after increase
−Removed: Percentage increase
−Removed: Guy Sella - Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
−Removed: Ronen Faier - Chief Financial Officer
−Removed: Zvi Lando - Vice President, Global Sales
−Removed: Yoav Galin - VP Research and Development
−Removed: Rachel Prishkolnik - VP General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
−Removed: Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
−Removed: For calendar year 2015, each NEO was eligible to receive an annual incentive compensation payment based on achievement of pre‑established performance goals.
−Removed: Sella, the performance goals were 100% weighted based upon Company‑related financial, operational and strategic objectives, comprised of 70% financial achievement, 10% operations, 10% strategy and 10% scalability.
−Removed: For the remaining NEOs, the performance goals were weighted based upon 50% Company‑related financial, operational and strategic objectives (the same as for the CEO) and 50% individual performance.
−Removed: The Company exceeded the financial goals by exceeding revenues, profitability and gross margin targets.
−Removed: Specifically, the financial achievement parameters of the bonuses were contingent upon the Company meeting its targeted annual calendar revenues of $345 million, a net income of $20 million and achieving a gross margin of above 25%.
−Removed: The Company exceeded all of these parameters by achieving revenues of $424.7 million, a net income of $53.8 million and a gross margin of 29.2%.
−Removed: The individual performance goals relate to each NEO’s specific areas of contribution to the Company such as specific goals for the development of products for our Vice President of Research and Development or the penetration of sales in certain new geographic regions for our Vice President of Sales.
−Removed: Each of the NEOs received a bonus under the compensation plan that had been preapproved by the Committee and after review by the Committee of the specific performance goals and determination of their level of achievement.
−Removed: Specifically, Mr.
−Removed: Sella was awarded $714,528 which represents 140% of his Base Salary;
−Removed: Faier was awarded $260,841 which represents 87% of his Base Salary;
−Removed: Lando was awarded $247,065 which represents 82% of his Base Salary;
−Removed: Galin was awarded $235,933 which represents 86% of his Base Salary and Ms.
−Removed: Prishkolnik was awarded $202,542 which represents 81% of her Base Salary.
−Removed: These performance-based cash bonuses were paid in March 2016 for achievement of business objectives established by the Committee for calendar year 2015.
−Removed: Equity Compensation
−Removed: In August 2015, the Committee evaluated the equity compensation of the CEO and other senior executives as part of the study performed by FW Cook.
−Removed: In order to align NEO compensation with the median of the 2016 Peer Group (with adjustments as necessary based on the Committee’s overall subjective evaluation of individual performance, senior executive responsibilities relative to benchmark position responsibilities, and individual skill set and experience), the Committee approved annual long-term incentive grants for the CEO and other NEOs (as well as the other senior executives) consisting of 50% RSUs, 40% options and 10% performance-based RSUs.
−Removed: All of the equity grants have a four-year vesting period.
−Removed: The options were granted at an exercise price of $25.09, which was the fair market value of the shares as of the date of the grant.
−Removed: The rationale of granting options to senior executives is to create more leverage and greater wealth creation opportunity that can materially impact financial and stock price performance, consistent with typical market practice and aligning senior executives with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.
−Removed: The options have strong performance orientation since they only provide value if the stock price increases.
−Removed: The time-vested RSUs, which are granted to all of the Company’s employees, offer more certainty in value delivery (while still being shareholder aligned) thereby driving executive retention.
−Removed: The Committee also allocated 10% of the equity grants to the CEO and other NEOs in the form of performance based RSUs which were linked to the same Company and individual performance goals used in the annual incentive program for calendar 2015.
−Removed: Entitlement to the performance based RSUs was evaluated based on the achievement of the same calendar 2015 bonus criterion vest over a four year period from the date of grant.
−Removed: Employment Agreements
−Removed: During fiscal 2016 we were party to employment agreements with Messrs.
−Removed: Sella, Faier, Lando, Galin and Ms.
−Removed: Each of these employment agreements provides for employment of the NEO on an “at‑will” basis and provide for a base salary, vacation, sick leave, payments to a pension and severance fund as well as an Israeli recreational fund and recuperation pay in accordance with Israeli law.
−Removed: See the section below titled “ Executive Compensation Table Narrative -- Employment Agreements” for more information.
−Removed: Other Compensation
−Removed: Our CEO and the remaining NEOs receive benefits that we generally make available to all salaried employees in Israel, where the NEOs are located.
−Removed: These include contributions to an education fund and to a fund known as Manager’s Insurance, which provides a combination of retirement plan, insurance and severance pay benefits to Israeli employees.
−Removed: See the section below titled “ Executive Compensation Table Narrative -- Employment Agreements” for more information.
−Removed: Executives do not receive any special perquisites not extended to other employees of the Company.
−Removed: Tax Deductibility of Compensation
−Removed: In general, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a limit of $1 million on the amount that a publicly held corporation may deduct for federal income tax purposes for compensation paid to the company’s “covered employees” (generally, its chief executive officer and three other executive officers (other than its chief financial officer) whose compensation is disclosed).
−Removed: This limitation does not apply to compensation that meets the requirements under Section 162(m) for “qualifying performance-based” compensation ( i.e.
−Removed: , compensation paid only if performance meets pre-established, objective goals established by a compensation committee that is comprised solely of two or more “outside directors,” based on criteria approved by stockholders).
−Removed: With respect to the deductibility limit of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we generally try to preserve the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid when it is appropriate and is in our best interests.
−Removed: However, we reserve the right to authorize the payment of non-deductible compensation if we deem that it is appropriate to do so under the circumstances.
−Removed: COMPENSATION RISK
−Removed: Our compensation programs are designed to balance risk and reward in relation to the Company’s overall business strategy.
−Removed: Management assessed, and the compensation committee reviewed, our senior executive and broad-based compensation and benefits programs.
−Removed: Based on this assessment, we have concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
−Removed: Among the program attributes that discourage inappropriate risk-taking are:
−Removed: the balance between annual and long-term compensation, including the fact that a significant portion of compensation is delivered in the form of equity incentives that vest over several years;
−Removed: the use of multiple financial metrics for performance-based annual and long-term incentive awards and the use of individual goals under our annual cash incentive program;
−Removed: the compensation committee’s ability to modify annual cash incentives to reflect the quality of earnings, individual performance, and other factors that it believes should influence compensation;
−Removed: our management stock selling restrictions encourage a longer-term perspective and align the interests of senior executives and the Board, as applicable, with other stockholders.

+Added: F - 2
+Added: Valuation of Warranty Obligations
+Added: Description of the Matter
+Added: As described in Notes 2.t and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2020, the warranty obligation was $204,994 thousand.
+Added: Substantially all of the Company's warranty obligations are related to the solar business.
+Added: The calculation of such warranty obligations requires significant judgment due to the inherent complexity in estimating the amount and timing of future warranty costs.
+Added: The Company's products include a warranty of up to 12 years for inverters and up to 25 years for its power optimizers.
+Added: In order to predict the failure rate of each product, the Company established a reliability model based on the estimated mean time between failures ("MTBF") and an additional model to capture non-systematic failures.
+Added: Predicted failure rates are updated periodically based on new product versions and analysis of the root cause of actual failures, as are warranty related replacement costs.
+Added: Auditing the management’s valuation of warranty obligations was complex and subject to judgment calls due to the significant estimation required in determining its amount.
+Added: In particular, the warranty obligation is subject to significant assumptions such as product failure rates, the average cost of products replacements and other warranty related costs.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the accounting for warranties, including management's assumptions and data underlying the warranty obligation valuation.
+Added: Our substantive audit procedures included, among others, look back analyses and testing the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data used in management's warranty obligation valuation assessment.
+Added: We assessed the accuracy of historical data used in estimating forecasted failure rates, repair replacement ratios and other warranty related costs and compared them to actual warranty claims.
+Added: In addition, we involved a specialist to assess the assumptions and the precision of the inputs underlying the MTBF model, including, evaluating the appropriateness of the MTBF model and its consistency with data obtained from external sources.
+Added: Valuation of and Accounting for Convertible Notes at Issuance
+Added: Description of the Matter
+Added: As described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in September 2020, the Company issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement.
+Added: The nature of the convertible note transaction required management to allocate the proceeds between the liability and equity components, with the equity component representing the difference between the proceeds and the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion feature.
+Added: Management applied significant judgment in estimating the borrowing rate for a comparable non-convertible note that does not have an associated conversion feature, including in determining the Company's synthetic credit rating.
+Added: Auditing the Company’s valuation of and accounting for convertible notes at issuance involved a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort due to significant management judgment required in determining the estimated borrowing rate of a comparable non-convertible note, which is a significant assumption in determining the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion feature.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
+Added: We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the valuation of and accounting for the Notes, including management's assessment of the assumptions and data underlying the Notes.
+Added: Our substantive audit procedures included, among others, analyzing the methodology used by management to determine the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion feature, evaluating management’s selection of the borrowing rate of a comparable non-convertible note, assessing the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions used to determine the borrowing rate, such as the Company’s synthetic credit rating, and performing an independent calculation of the carrying amounts attributable to the liability and equity components.
+Added: In addition, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating whether the borrowing rate of a comparable non-convertible note used by management was reasonable considering consistency with external market and industry data.
+Added: We have also evaluated the Company’s disclosures regarding the issuance of the Notes included in Notes 2.u and 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

+Added: The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
+Added: Recoverability of these group of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the group of assets is expected to generate.
+Added: If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
+Added: The Company has not recorded any impairment charges of finite-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
+Added: Acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

+Added: The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets.
+Added: In case the Company reduces the estimated useful life for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life (see Note 9).
+Added: Goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any contingent consideration and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the assigned fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired.
+Added: Goodwill is not amortized, and is assigned to reporting units and tested for impairment at least on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
+Added: The goodwill impairment test is performed according to the following principles:
+Added: (1) An initial qualitative assessment may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
+Added: (2) If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed.
+Added: An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized.
+Added: The Company has not recorded any impairment charges of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
−Removed: The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 (“Property, Plants and Equipment”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable.
+Added: The Company’s long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets, including right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plants and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets (or asset group).
−Removed: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.
−Removed: For the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, no impairment losses have been identified.
+Added: If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.
+Added: For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, no impairment losses have been identified.

Severance pay:
−Removed: Pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law, Israeli employees are entitled to severance pay equal to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof.
−Removed: The employees of the Company’s Israeli subsidiary have elected to be included under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, under which these employees are entitled only to monthly deposits made in their name with insurance companies, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary.
+Added: The employees of the Company’s Israeli subsidiary are included under Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963, under which these employees are entitled only to monthly deposits made in their name with insurance companies, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary.
These payments cause the Company to be released from any future obligation under the Israeli Severance Pay Law to make severance payments in respect of those employees;
−Removed: therefore, related assets and liabilities are not presented in the balance sheet.
−Removed: For the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $1,761, $1,273, and $1,109, severance expenses, respectively.
+Added: therefore, related assets and liabilities are not presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $ 10,598 , $ 7,285 and $ 4,331 , in severance expenses related to its employees, respectively.
+Added: Derivatives and Hedging:
+Added: The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”).
+Added: ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
+Added: The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship.
+Added: To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program whereby portions of the anticipated payroll denominated in NIS for a period of one to six months with hedging contracts.
+Added: Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the NIS, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the hedging contracts.
+Added: Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by gains in the fair value of the hedging contracts.
+Added: These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.
+Added: The Company also entered into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S.
+Added: 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, as a financial expense (income), net.
+Added: Revenue recognition:
+Added: Revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 606;
+Added: revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that the Company expects in exchange for those goods or services.
+Added: The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers, (ii) inverters, (iii) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, (iv) communication services, (v) a storage solution, (vi) UPS units, (vii) Lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage solutions, (viii) powertrain kits for the e-Mobility segment and (ix) automated machinery for manufacturing lines.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle that transfer of control to the Company’s customers should be depicted in an amount reflecting the consideration the Company expects to receive in revenue.

−Removed: Revenue recognition:
−Removed: The Company and its subsidiaries generate their revenues mainly from the sale of power optimizers, inverters and cloud-based monitoring services, to distributors, installers and PV module manufacturers.
−Removed: Revenues from product sales and related services are recognized in accordance with ASC 605 (“Revenue Recognition”), when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and no significant obligations remain.
−Removed: Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists .
−Removed: The Company’s customers mainly consist of distributors and installers (the “Customers”).
−Removed: The Company’s sales arrangements with Customers are pursuant to written documentation, either a written contract or purchase order.
−Removed: The actual documentation used is dependent on the business practice with each Customer.
−Removed: Therefore, the Company determines that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists with respect to a Customer when it has a written contract, or a binding purchase order from the Customer.
−Removed: Delivery has occurred .
−Removed: Each item of written documentation relating to a sale arrangement that is agreed upon with the Customer specifically sets forth when risk of loss and title are being transferred (based on the agreed International Commercial terms, or “INCOTERMS”).
−Removed: Unless a different written arrangement with the Customer exists, the Company determines that risk of loss and title are transferred to the Customer when the applicable INCOTERMS are satisfied and thus delivery of its products has occurred.
−Removed: The fee is fixed or determinable .
−Removed: The Company does not provide any price protection, stock rotation and/or right of return and thus the Company considers all the Customers as end-users and the fee is considered fixed and determinable upon execution of the written documentation with the Customers.
−Removed: Additionally, payments that are due within the normal course of the Company’s credit terms, which are currently no more than three months from the delivery date, are deemed to be fixed and determinable.
−Removed: Fees and arrangements with payment terms extending beyond customary payment terms are considered not to be fixed or determinable, in which case revenues are deferred and recognized when payments become due, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
−Removed: Collectability is reasonably assured .
+Added: dollars in thousands (except share and per share data)
+Added: NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
+Added: In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach:
+Added: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
+Added: (1) Identify the contract with a customer
+Added: A contract is an agreement or purchase order between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.
+Added: In evaluating the contract, the Company analyzes the customer’s intent and ability to pay the amount of promised consideration (credit risk) and considers the probability of collecting substantially all of the consideration.
The Company determines whether collectability is reasonably assured on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to its credit review policy.
The Company typically sells to customers with whom it has a long-term business relationship and a history of successful collection.
−Removed: For a new Customer, or when an existing Customer substantially expands its commitments, the Company evaluates the Customer’s financial position, the number of years the Customer has been in business, the history of collection with the Customer and the Customer’s ability to pay and typically assigns a credit limit based on that review.
+Added: For a new customer, or when an existing customer substantially expands its commitments, the Company evaluates the customer’s financial position, the number of years the customer has been in business, the history of collection with the customer, and the customer’s ability to pay, and typically assigns a credit limit based on that review.
+Added: (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: At a contract’s inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies the performance obligations.
+Added: The main performance obligations are the provisions of the following:
+Added: delivery of the Company’s products;
+Added: cloud based monitoring services;
+Added: extended warranty services and communication services.
+Added: (3) Determine the transaction price
+Added: The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
+Added: Generally, the Company does not provide price protection, stock rotation, and/or right of return.
+Added: The Company determines the transaction price for all satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations identified in the contract from contract inception to the beginning of the earliest period presented.
+Added: Rebates or discounts on goods or services are accounted for as variable consideration.
+Added: The rebate or discount program is applied retrospectively for future purchases.
+Added: Provisions for rebates, sales incentives, and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded.
+Added: Accrual for rebates for direct customers is presented net of receivables.
+Added: Accrual for sale incentives related to non-direct customers is presented under accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
+Added: The Company accrued $ 65,131 and $ 62,288 for rebates as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

−Removed: Provisions for rebates, sales incentives, and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded.
−Removed: The Company increases a credit limit only after it has established a successful collection history with the Customer.
−Removed: If the Company determines at any time that collectability is not reasonably assured under a particular arrangement based upon its credit review process, the Customer’s payment history or information that comes to light about a Customer’s financial position, it recognizes revenue under that arrangement as Customer payments are actually received.
−Removed: Revenues related to cloud-based monitoring services are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the estimated service period of 25 years.
−Removed: For multiple-element arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling prices.
−Removed: In such circumstances, the Company uses a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables:
−Removed: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“ESP”).
−Removed: VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable.
−Removed: ESPs reflect the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of elements would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis.
−Removed: The Company has allocated revenue between its deliverables based on their relative selling prices.
−Removed: Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its deliverables, the allocation of revenue has been based on the Company’s ESPs.
−Removed: Amounts allocated to the delivered elements are recognized at the time of sale provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.
−Removed: The Company’s process for determining its ESP considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.
−Removed: Key factors considered by the Company in developing the ESPs for its products include prices charged by the Company for similar offerings, the Company’s historical pricing practices and product-specific business objectives.
−Removed: Deferred revenues consist of deferred cloud-based monitoring services, advance payments received from Customers for the Company’s products and warranty extensions, and are classified as short-term and long-term deferred revenues based on the period in which revenues are expected to be recognized.

+Added: When a contract provides a customer with payment terms of more than a year, the Company considers whether those terms create variability in the transaction price and whether a significant financing component exists.
+Added: As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not provided payment terms of more than a year.
+Added: The performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year are those that include a financial component:
+Added: (i) warranty extension services, (ii) cloud-based monitoring, and (iii) communication services.
+Added: The Company recognizes financing component expenses in its consolidated statement of income in relation to advance payments for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year.
+Added: These financing component expenses are reflected in the Company’s deferred revenues balance.
+Added: (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
+Added: The Company performs an allocation of the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, in proportion to their relative standalone selling prices.
+Added: (5) Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied
+Added: Revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer.
+Added: Control either transfers over time or at a point in time, which affects when revenue is recorded.
+Added: Revenues from sales of products are recognized when control is transferred (based on the agreed International Commercial terms, or “INCOTERMS”).
+Added: Revenues related to warranty extension services, cloud-based monitoring, and communication services are recognized over time on a straight-line basis.
+Added: Deferred revenues consist of deferred cloud-based monitoring services, communication services, warranty extension services and advance payments received from customers for the Company’s products.

−Removed: The Company maintains reserves to cover the expected costs that could result from these warranties.
−Removed: The potential liability is generally in the form of product replacement and associated costs.
−Removed: Warranty reserves are based on the Company’s best estimate of such costs and are included in cost of revenues.
−Removed: The reserve for the related warranty expenses is based on various factors including assumptions about the frequency of warranty claims on product failures, derived from results of accelerated lab testing, field monitoring, analysis of the history of product failures and the Company’s reliability estimates.
−Removed: The Company has established a reliability measurement system based on the units’ estimated mean time between failure, or MTBF, a metric that equates to a steady-state failure rate per year for current generation products.
−Removed: The MTBF represents the predicted mean elapsed time to each product unit failure during system operation.
+Added: The Company provides a product warranty for its solar related products as follows:
+Added: a 10-year limited warranty for StorEdge products, a standard 12 -year limited warranty for inverters, and a 25 -year limited warranty for power optimizers.

+Added: services associated with the replacement products.
+Added: In addition, through the collection of actual field failure statistics, the Company has identified several additional failure causes that are not included in the MTBF model.
+Added: Such causes, which mostly consist of design errors, workmanship errors caused during the manufacturing process and, to a lesser extent, replacement of non-faulty units by installers, result in generating additional replacement costs to the replacement costs projected under the MTBF model.
+Added: For other products, the Company accrues for warranty costs based on the Company’s best estimate of product and associated costs.
+Added: The Company’s other products are sold with a standard limited warranty that typically range in duration from one to ten years.

+Added: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted bank deposits, trade receivables, net, long term bank loans and current maturities, prepaid expenses and other current assets, trade payables, net, employee and payroll accruals and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
+Added: Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are comprised of money market funds and debt marketable securities (see Note 4).
+Added: The Company applies ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, with respect to fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities.
+Added: Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
A three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
−Removed: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
−Removed: Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
+Added: Level 1- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
+Added: Level 2- Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
+Added: Level 3- Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

−Removed: Warrants to Purchase Convertible Preferred Stock:
−Removed: The Company accounts for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its convertible preferred stock as a liability on the balance sheets at fair value.
−Removed: The warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock are recorded as a liability because of a provision calling for minimum proceeds upon or after an “Exit Event”, as described in Note 10.
−Removed: The fair value of warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock on the issuance date and on subsequent reporting dates was determined using a hybrid method utilizing the assumptions noted below.
−Removed: The fair value of the underlying preferred stock price was determined by the board of directors considering, among others, third party valuations.
−Removed: The valuation of the Company was performed using the hybrid method, a hybrid between the probability-weighted estimated return method (“PWERM”) and Option Pricing Method (“OPM”) estimating the probability-weighted value across multiple scenarios but using the OPM to estimate the allocation of value within one or more of those scenarios.
−Removed: The OPM was used to allocate the Company’s equity value between the preferred stock, common stock and warrants in a scenario of other liquidation events.
−Removed: The expected terms of the warrants were based on the remaining contractual expiration period.
−Removed: The expected share price volatility for the shares was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of the Company’s industry peers as there was insufficient trading history of the Company’s shares.

−Removed: Expected volatility
−Removed: Risk-free rate
−Removed: Dividend yield
−Removed: Expected term (in years)

Accounting for stock-based compensation:
−Removed: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 (“Compensation-Stock Compensation”).
−Removed: ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an Option-Pricing Model (“OPM”).
−Removed: The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

+Added: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”.
+Added: ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an Option-Pricing Model (“OPM”).
+Added: The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards granted based on the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures.
ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures (pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company made a policy election to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest).
−Removed: The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its stock-option awards and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
+Added: Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures.
+Added: The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its stock-option awards and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).
The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the fair market value of the underlying common stock, expected stock price volatility, and the expected option term.
−Removed: Expected volatility was calculated based upon certain peer companies that the Company considered to be comparable.
−Removed: The expected option term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
−Removed: The expected option term is determined based on the simplified method in accordance with SAB No.
−Removed: 110, as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate.
−Removed: The simplified method will continue to apply until enough historical experience is available to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term.
+Added: Expected volatility for stock-option awards was calculated until December 31, 2017 based upon certain peer companies that the Company considered to be comparable and starting January 1, 2018 based upon the Company’s actual historical stock price movements over the most recent periods.
+Added: Expected volatility for ESPP was calculated based upon the Company’s stock prices.
+Added: The expected term of options granted is based upon historical experience and represents the period between the options’
+Added: grant date and the expected exercise or expiration date.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S.
treasury bonds with an equivalent term.
−Removed: The Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been determined by the Company’s management and approved by the board of directors.
−Removed: Because until March 31, 2015, there was no public market for the Company’s common stock, the Company’s management determined the fair value of the common stock by using, among other factors, third party valuations at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including data from other comparable companies, issuance of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook.
−Removed: The fair value of the underlying common stock was determined by the management until such time as the Company’s common stock is listed on an established stock exchange or national market system.
−Removed: The Company’s management determined the value of the shares of common stock based on valuations performed using the OPM for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from July 1, 2014 and up to March 31, 2015.
−Removed: The common stock of the Company has been publicly traded since March 31, 2015
−Removed: Since the distributions and participation rights to security holders until March 31, 2015 are different in a sale/liquidation scenario versus an IPO, the valuation of the Company's equity was performed using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model or a new investment round by external investors.
−Removed: The allocation of the Company's equity value between the convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants was performed using a hybrid method between the PWERM and OPM estimating the probability-weighted value across multiple scenarios for liquidation events other than an IPO.
+Added: The Company doesn't use dividend yield rate since the Company has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
+Added: The Company measures a modified stock based award at fair value and recognizes the compensation cost at the beginning of the modification date over the employee’s requisite service period of the modified award.

−Removed: To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary and lease payments of its Israeli facilities denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”), during the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program.
−Removed: The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll and lease payments denominated in NIS for a period of one to twelve months with hedging contracts.
−Removed: These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.
