Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.

federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that:

(1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments.

The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.

Description of the Matter

As described in Notes 2u and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, the warranty obligation was $265,160 thousand.

Substantially all of the Company's warranty obligations are related to the solar business.

The calculation of such warranty obligations requires significant judgment due to the inherent complexity in estimating the amount and timing of future warranty costs.

The Company's products include a warranty of up to 12 years for inverters and up to 25 years for its power optimizers.

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.

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.

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.

In particular, the warranty obligation is subject to significant assumptions such as product failure rates, the average cost of products

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

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.

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.

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.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), (the COSO criteria).

In our opinion, SolarEdge Technologies Inc.

and subsidiaries (the "Company") maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated February 22, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.

federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;

and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Intercompany transactions and balances including profit from intercompany sales not yet realized outside the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.

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 Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these assumptions, judgments and estimates.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Financial statements in U.S.

A major part of the Company’s operations is carried out in the United States, Israel and certain other countries.

The functional currency of these entities is the U.S.

Financing activities, including cash investments are primarily made in U.S.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

Accordingly, monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S.

dollar are translated into U.S.

dollars in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No.

830 “Foreign Currency Matters”.

All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the statements of income as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

The financial statements of other Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S.

dollar have been translated into U.S dollars.

Assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date.

Statements of income amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the relevant periods.

The resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment in nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash, with original maturities of three months or less at the date acquired.

Short-term bank deposits:

Short-term bank deposits are deposits with an original maturity of more than three months and less than a year from the date of investment and which do not meet the definition of cash equivalents.

The deposits are presented according to their term deposits.

Restricted bank deposits:

Short-term restricted bank deposits possess an original maturity of more than three months and less than a year from the date of investment.

Long-term restricted bank deposits possess an original maturity of more than one year from the date of investment.

Restricted bank deposits are primarily used as collateral for the Company's office leases and credit cards.

Marketable Securities:

Marketable securities consist of corporate and governmental bonds.

The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date.

In accordance with FASB ASC No.

320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities”, the Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of taxes.

Realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities, as determined on a specific identification basis, are included in financial income (expenses), net.

The amortized cost of marketable securities is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount to maturity, both of which, together with interest, are included in financial income (expenses), net.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

The Company classifies its marketable securities as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date.

Marketable securities with maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short-term and marketable securities with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term.

On each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether declines in fair value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as the ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs, in accordance with ASC 326.

Allowance for credit losses on AFS debt securities are recognized as a charge in financial income (expenses), net, on the consolidated statements of income, and any remaining unrealized losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.

The Company has not recorded credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

There was no other-than-temporary-impairment charge for any unrealized losses in 2019.

The Company determines realized gains or losses on sale of marketable securities on a specific identification method and records such gains or losses in financial income (expenses), net on the consolidated statements of income.

Investment in privately-held companies:

The Company's equity investments are investments in equity securities of privately-held companies, that are not traded and therefore not supported with observable market prices.

The Company elected to account for its equity investments without readily determinable market values that either (i) do not meet the definition of in-substance common stock or (ii) do not provide the Company with control or significant influence using Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01.

Under ASU 2016-01, the Company adjusts the carrying value of its investments to fair value upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of the investments in privately-held companies when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recovered.

The maximum loss the Company can incur for its investments is their carrying value.

The Company may determine the fair value by reviewing equity valuation reports, current financial results, long-term plans of the privately-held companies, the amount of cash that the privately-held companies have on-hand, the ability to obtain additional financing and overall market conditions in which the privately-held companies operate or based on the price observed from the most recent completed financing.

All gains and losses on investments in privately-held companies, realized and unrealized, are recognized in financial income (expenses), net.

Trade receivables:

Trade receivables are stated net of credit losses allowance.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products.

The allowance against gross trade receivables reflects the current expected credit loss inherent in the receivables portfolio determined based on the Company’s methodology.

The Company’s methodology is based on historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness, current and future economic condition and market condition.

Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

Trade receivables are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount have been exhausted.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of trade receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected:

Balance, at end of the period

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Cost includes depreciation, labor, material and overhead costs.

Inventory reserves are provided to cover risks arising from slow-moving items or technological obsolescence.

The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to historical, current, and projected sales volume.

Based on this evaluation, an impairment charge is recorded when required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

Cost of finished goods and raw materials is determined using the moving average cost method.

Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and government grants.

Assets under construction represent the construction or development stage of property and equipment that have not yet been placed in service for the Company's intended use.

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, at the following rates:

Buildings and plants

2.5 - 5.7 (mainly 5.4 )

Computers and peripheral equipment

14.3 - 33.3 (mainly 33.3 )

Office furniture and equipment

7 - 25 (mainly 7 )

Machinery and equipment

10 - 20 (mainly 10 )

Laboratory and testing equipment

7 - 20 (mainly 10 )

Leasehold improvements

over the shorter of the lease term or useful economic life

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

Contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease.

In determining the leases classification the Company assesses among other criteria:

(i) 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset is a major part of the remaining economic life of that underlying asset;

and (ii) 90% or more of the fair value of the underlying asset comprises substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, other current liabilities, and long-term finance lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the ROU asset and liability at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments according to their term.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

The Company uses incremental borrowing rates based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date.

The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or the useful life of the leased asset.

In addition, the carrying amount of the ROU and lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Business Combination:

The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair value.

The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired technology and discount rates.

Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

During the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Upon the finalization of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Intangible Assets:

The Company evaluates the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

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.

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.

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.

Acquired identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The basis of amortization approximates the pattern in which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives.

The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets.

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 8).

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no impairment losses have been identified.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

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.

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.

The goodwill impairment test is performed according to the following principles:

(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.

(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.

An impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized.

The Company has not recorded any impairment charges of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Impairment of long-lived assets:

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).

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.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no impairment losses have been identified.

Severance pay:

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;

therefore, related assets and liabilities are not presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $ 14,231 , $ 10,598 and $ 7,285 in severance expenses related to its employees, respectively.

Derivatives and Hedging:

The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”).

ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.

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.

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, 2021, 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 nine months with hedging contracts.

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.

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.

These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.

The Company also entered into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S.

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.

Revenue recognition:

Revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 606;

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.

The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers, (ii) inverters, (iii) residential batteries, (iv) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, (v) communication services, (vi) UPS units, (vii) Lithium-ion cells and other storage solutions (viii) powertrain kits for EVs, and (ix) automated machinery for manufacturing lines.

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.

In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach:

(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.

(1) Identify the contract with a customer

A contract is an agreement or purchase order between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.

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.

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.

(in thousands, except per share data)

(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

At a contract’s inception, the Company assesses the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifies the performance obligations.

The main performance obligations are the provisions of the following:

delivery of the Company’s products;

cloud based monitoring services;

extended warranty services and communication services.

(3) Determine the transaction price

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.

Generally, the Company does not provide price protection, stock rotation, and/or right of return.

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.

Rebates or discounts on goods or services are accounted for as variable consideration.

The rebate or discount program is applied retrospectively for future purchases.

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.

Accrual for rebates for direct customers is presented net of receivables.

Accrual for sale incentives related to non-direct customers is presented under accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

The Company accrued $ 152,717 and $ 65,131 for rebates and sales incentives as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not provided payment terms of more than a year.

The performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year are those that include a financial component:

(i) warranty extension services, (ii) cloud-based monitoring, and (iii) communication services.

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.

These financing component expenses are reflected in the Company’s deferred revenues balance.

(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

The Company performs an allocation of the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, in proportion to their relative standalone selling prices.

(5) Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied

Revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer.

Control either transfers over time or at a point in time, which affects when revenue is recorded.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when control is transferred (based on the agreed International Commercial terms, or “INCOTERMS”).

Revenues related to warranty extension services, cloud-based monitoring, and communication services are recognized over time on a straight-line basis.

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.

Deferred revenues are classified as short-term and long-term deferred revenues based on the period in which revenues are expected to be recognized (see Note 13).

Cost of revenues:

Cost of revenues includes the following:

product costs consisting of purchases from contract manufacturers and other suppliers, direct and indirect manufacturing costs, shipping and handling, support, warranty expenses and changes in warranty provision, provision for losses related to slow moving and dead inventory, personnel and logistics costs.

Shipping and handling costs, which amounted to $ 116,574 , $ 101,597 and $ 113,635 , for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in the cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

Shipping and handling costs include custom tariff charges and all other costs associated with the distribution of finished goods from the Company’s point of sale directly to its customers.

Warranty obligations:

The Company provides a product warranty for its solar segment related products as follows:

a standard 10 -year limited warranty for its residential batteries, a standard 12 -year limited warranty for the majority of its inverters, that is extendable to 20 or 25 years for an additional cost and a 25 -year limited warranty for power optimizers.

In certain cases, the Company provides an extended warranty for inverters that increases the warranty period for up to 25 years.

The Company maintains reserves to cover the expected costs that could result from the standard warranty.

The warranty liability is in the form of product replacement and associated costs.

Warranty reserves are based on the Company’s best estimate of such costs and are included in cost of revenues.

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 field failures, and the Company’s reliability estimates.

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 each product generation.

The MTBF predicts the expected failure rate of each product within the Company's products installed base during the expected product warranted lifetime.

The Company performs accelerated life cycle testing, which simulates the service life of the product in a short period of time.

The accelerated life cycle tests incorporate test methodologies derived from standard tests used by solar module vendors to evaluate the period over which solar modules wear out.

Corresponding replacement costs are updated periodically to reflect changes in the Company’s actual and estimated production costs for its products, rate of usage of refurbished units as a replacement of faulty units, and other costs related to logistic and subcontractors’ services associated with the replacement products.

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.

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.

(in thousands, except per share data)

For other products, the Company accrues for warranty costs based on the Company’s best estimate of product and associated costs.

The Company’s other products are sold with a standard limited warranty that typically range in duration from one to ten years.

Warranty obligations are classified as short-term and long-term obligations based on the period in which the warranty is expected to be claimed.

Convertible senior notes:

Prior to January 1, 2021, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components.

On issuance, the carrying amount of the equity components was recorded as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to interest expense.

Total initial issuance costs of $ 14,631 related to the Notes were allocated between the liability and equity components in the same proportion as the allocation of the total proceeds to the liability and equity components.

The Company initially allocated issuance costs of $ 13,501 and $ 1,130 to the liability and equity components, respectively.

The issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted against the respective equity component in additional paid-in capital.

Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach.

The Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as no other embedded features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in an increase of retained earnings in an amount of $ 2,884 , a decrease of an additional paid-in capital in an amount of $ 36,336 , an increase of convertible senior notes, net, in an amount of $ 45,282 and a decrease of deferred tax liabilities, net, in an amount of $ 11,830 .

The impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s earnings per share was immaterial.

The Company’s Convertible Senior Notes are included in the calculation of diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) if the assumed conversion into common shares is dilutive, using the “if-converted” method.

This involves adding back the periodic non-cash interest expense net of tax associated with the Notes to the numerator and by adding the shares that would be issued in an assumed conversion (regardless of whether the conversion option is in or out of the money) to the denominator for the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, unless the Notes are antidilutive (See Note 20).

Research and development costs:

Research and development costs, are charged to the consolidated statement of income as incurred.

Concentrations of credit risks:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, restricted bank deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables and other accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits are mainly invested in major banks in the U.S., Israel and Korea.

Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

The Company's debt marketable securities include investments in highly-rated corporate debentures (located mainly in U.S., UK, France, South Korea, Netherlands and other countries) and governmental bonds.

The financial institutions that hold the Company's debt marketable securities are major financial institutions located in the United States.

The Company believes its debt marketable securities portfolio is a diverse portfolio of highly-rated securities and the Company's investment policy limits the amount the Company may invest in an issuer (see Note 2g.).

The trade receivables of the Company derive from sales to customers located primarily in the United States and Europe.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses (see Note 2i.).

The Company generally does not require collaterals, however, in certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral, or additional guarantees.

From time to time, the Company may purchase trade credit insurance.

The Company had two major customers (customers with attributable revenues that represents more than 10% of total revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2021 and one major customer for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019 that accounted for approximately 30.9 %, 14.8 % and 20.4 % of the Company’s consolidated revenues, respectively.

All of the revenues from these customers were generated in the solar segment.

The Company had two major customers (customer with a balance that represents more than 10% of total trade receivables, net) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 that accounted in the aggregate for approximately 39.3 % and 34.6 %, of the Company’s consolidated trade receivables, net, respectively.

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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 27.9 % and 48.5 % of the Company’s total trade payables, net, respectively.

During 2020, the Company started production in its manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”.

During the second quarter of 2021, Sella 1 reached full manufacturing capacity.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

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.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are comprised of money market funds, derivative instruments and debt marketable securities (see Note 11).

SOLAREDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

(in thousands, except per share data)

The Company applies ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, with respect to fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities.

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:

Level 1- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2- Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

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.

Stock-based compensation:

The Company uses the closing trading price of its common stock on the day before the grant date as the fair value of awards of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units that are based on the Company's financial performance targets ("PSUs").

The compensation expense for RSUs is recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the requisite employee service period while compensation expense for PSUs is recognized using an accelerated amortization model.

The Company estimates the forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Estimated forfeitures are based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures.

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.

Expected volatility for stock-option awards and ESPP was calculated based upon the Company’s stock prices.

The expected term of options granted is based upon historical experience and represents the period between the options’ 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.

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.

Income taxes:

The Company and its subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.

ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent the Company believes they will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10 two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.

The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes.

The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative probability) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

New accounting pronouncements not yet effective:

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No.

2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805):

Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08), which clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No.

2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832):

Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10), which improves the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of:

(1) the types of government assistance received;

(2) the accounting for such assistance;

and (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity's financial statements.

This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2021.

Early adoption is permitted.

The impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is expected to be immaterial.

Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction between the accounting for equity securities in Topic 321, the accounting for equity method investments in Topic 323, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options in Topic 815.

The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis.

The impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.

2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity.

This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method.

ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach.

Interest expense recognized in future periods will be reduced as a result of accounting for the convertible debt instrument as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.

The impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s earnings per share was immaterial.

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are presented under the new standards, while comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy.

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 “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, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

If certain fundamental changes referred to as make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Notes may be increased.

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 infringe two of the plaintiff’s patents.

SMA asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5 million (approximately $ 6,225 ) for both patents.

The Company challenged the validity of both patents.

With respect to one of the claims, in October 2020, the German Patent Court rendered the SMA patent invalid and this invalidity has been appealed by SMA.

With respect to the other claim, in November 2019, the first instance court stayed the infringement proceedings since it considered it to be highly likely that the second SMA patent would also be rendered invalid.

The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining lawsuit.

In May 2019, the Company’s two Chinese subsidiaries and its equipment manufacturer in China were served with three lawsuits by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity (“Huawei”).

The lawsuits, filed in the Guangzhou intellectual property court, alleged infringement of three patents and asked for an injunction of manufacture, use, sale and offer for sale, and damage awards.

A first-instance judgment was issued on August 7, 2020 ordering the three defendants to collectively pay damages in the amount of approximately Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) 10.5 million (approximately $ 1,647 ), including court fees.

The Company has filed an appeal with the Supreme People’s Court of China.

The Company's appeal to the Supreme People's Court was denied in December of 2021, rendering a payment by us to Huawei in an amount of $ 1,647 .

The judgement is not enforceable until the end of February 2022.

In addition, in January 2021, Huawei filed a motion to increase its claimed monetary damages to CNY 50.5 million (approximately $ 7,923 ) with respect to the second lawsuit.

In February 2021, a preliminary injunction was rendered by the Guangzhou intellectual property court with respect to such second lawsuit and applying to seven inverter models.

In line with the court’s mandate, the Company took immediate action to make software changes to meet the court order.

In addition, in February 22, 2021 a first-instance judgment was issued ordering payment of damages in the amount of CNY 50.5 million (approximately $ 7,923 ), including court fees, with respect to the second patent.

The Company appealed this judgement with the Supreme People’s Court which case is still pending.

The first instance court’s judgement is not effective or enforceable pending the appeal.

In October 2021, a first-instance judgment was issued ordering to pay damages in the amount of approximately CNY 10.5 million (approximately $ 1,647 ), including court fees, with respect to the third lawsuit.

The Company has filed an appeal with the Supreme People’s Court of China which also is still pending.

The first instance court’s judgement is not effective or enforceable pending the appeal.

The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Huawei.

In December 2019, the Company received a lawsuit filed by a former consultant of the Company and its Israeli subsidiary in the amount of NIS 25.5 million (approximately $ 8,199 ) claiming damages caused relating to a terminated consulting agreement and stock options therein.

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

As of December 31, 2021, accrued amounts for legal claims of $ 11,622 were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

The differences between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate are result of a variety of factors, including different effective tax rates applicable to non-US subsidiaries that have tax rates different than the Company tax rate, tax benefits relating to stock-based compensation and adjustments to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets on such subsidiaries.

A reconciliation between the theoretical tax expense and the actual tax expense (benefit) as reported in the consolidated statements of income is as follows:

Losses and timing differences for which valuation allowance was provided

Tax assessments:

The Israeli tax authorities issued a tax assessments for tax years 2016 and 2018 against the Company’s Israeli subsidiary challenging the subsidiary's positions on several issues.

The Israeli subsidiary has appealed the tax assessments.

The Company believes it has adequately provided for these items, however adverse results could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed U.S.

federal and various state and foreign income tax returns.

The statute of limitations relating to the consolidated U.S.

federal income tax return is closed for all tax years up to and including 2017.

The statute of limitations related to tax returns of the Company’s Israeli subsidiary for all tax years up to and including 2015 has lapsed.

The statute of limitations related to tax returns of the Company’s other subsidiaries has lapsed for part of the tax years, which differs between the different subsidiaries.

Tax benefits for Israeli companies under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Investments Law”):

The Israeli subsidiary elected tax year 2012 as a "Year of Election" for “Benefited Enterprise” status under the Investments Law.

According to the Investments Law, the Israeli subsidiary elected to participate in the alternative benefits program which provides certain benefits, including tax exemptions and reduced tax rates (which depend on, inter alia, the geographic location in Israel).

Upon meeting the requirements under the Investments Law, undistributed income derived from Benefited Enterprise from productive activity will be exempt from tax for two years from the year in which the Israeli subsidiary first has taxable income (“exempt period”), provided that 12 years have not passed from the beginning of the year of election.

On October 24, 2018, the Company’s Israeli subsidiary received an approval from the Israeli Tax Authorities confirming the applicability of the two-year tax exemption as provided in the Investments Law until December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, approximately $ 289,900 was derived from tax exempt profits earned by the Israeli subsidiary “Benefited Enterprises” in the two tax years exempt period, tax years 2017 - 2018.

The Company has determined that such tax-exempt income will not be distributed as dividends and intends to reinvest the amount of its tax-exempt income earned by the Israeli subsidiary.

Accordingly, no provision for deferred income taxes has been provided on income attributable to the Israeli subsidiary “Benefited Enterprises” as such income is essentially permanently reinvested.

If the Israeli subsidiary’s retained tax-exempt income is distributed, the income would be taxed at the applicable corporate tax rate which depends on the foreign ownership in each tax year.

Through December 31, 2021, the Israeli subsidiary had generated income under the provision of the Investments Law.

Pursuant to amendment 73 to the Investments Law (the “2017 Amendment"), a preferred enterprise located in development area A will be subject to a tax rate of 7.5 % instead of 9 % effective from January 1, 2017 and thereafter (the tax rate applicable to preferred enterprises located in other areas remains at 16 %).

The 2017 Amendment also prescribes special tax tracks for preferred technological enterprises (“PTE”), which are subject to rules that were issued by the Ministry of Finance.

On June 14, 2017, the Encouragement of Capital Investments Regulations (Preferred Technological Income and Capital Gain for Technological Enterprise), 2017 (the “Regulations”) were published.

The Regulations describe, inter alia, the mechanism used to determine the calculation of the benefits under the PTE regime.

According to these regulations, a company that complies with the terms under the PTE regime may be entitled to certain tax benefits with respect to income generated during the company’s regular course of business and derived from the preferred intangible asset, excluding income derived from intangible assets used for marketing and income attributed to production activity.

A PTE, which is located in the center of Israel will be subject to tax at a rate of 12 % on profits deriving from intellectual property (in development Zone A - a tax rate of 7.5 %).

The Israeli subsidiary’s PTE facilities in Israel are not located in Development Zone A.

The Israeli subsidiary has developed its own solar products manufacturing facilities in Israel, located in a Development Zone A.

The Israeli subsidiary notified the ITA of its election to implement the PTE with effect from January 1, 2019.

Tax Benefits for Research and Development:

Israeli tax law (section 20A to the Israeli Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961) allows, a tax deduction for research and development expenses, including capital expenses, for the year in which they are paid.

Such expenses must relate to scientific research in industry, agriculture, transportation or energy, and must be approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry, determined by the field of research.

As for expenses incurred in scientific research that is not approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry, they will be deductible over a three-year period starting from the tax year in which they are paid.

The Company’s Israeli subsidiary intends to submit a formal request to the relevant Israeli government ministry in order to obtain such approval for 2019 - 2021.

Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:

The Company’s Israeli subsidiary claims currently to be qualified as ‘industrial company’ as defined by this law and as such, is entitled to certain tax benefits, consisting mainly of accelerated depreciation and amortization of patents and certain other intangible property

SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND PRODUCT INFORMATION

Segment Information:

The Company operates in five different operating segments:

Solar, Energy Storage, e-Mobility, Critical Power 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 (“financing component”), 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, 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.

The Solar segment solution consists mainly of the Company’s power optimizers, inverters, batteries and cloud‑based monitoring platform.

The “All other” category includes the design, development, manufacturing and sales of energy storage products, e-Mobility products, UPS products and automated machines.
