NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE
1: GENERAL
a.
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)
and its subsidiaries design, develop, and sell an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual
photovoltaic (“PV”) module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive
and advanced safety features. The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers designed to maximize energy throughput
from each and every module through constant tracking of Maximum Power Point individually per module, (ii) inverters which invert direct
current (DC) from the PV module to alternating current (AC) including the Company’s future ready energy hub inverter which supports,
among other things, connection to a DC- coupled battery for backup capabilities, (iii) a remote cloud-based monitoring platform, that
collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters to enable customers and system owners, to monitor and manage
the solar PV system (iv) a residential storage and backup solution which includes a company designed and manufactured lithium-ion DC-coupled
battery that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners including a battery, and (v) additional
smart energy management solutions.
The
Company and its subsidiaries sell products worldwide through large distributors, electrical equipment wholesalers, as well as directly
to large solar installers and engineering, procurement and construction firms.
b.
The Company has expanded its activity to other
areas of smart energy technology organically and through acquisitions. The Company now offers a variety of energy solutions, which include
lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage systems (“Energy Storage”), full powertrain kits for electric vehicles, or
EVs (“e-Mobility”), uninterrupted power supply solutions or UPS (“Critical Power”), as well as automated machines
for industrial use (“Automation Machines”).
c.
Basis of Presentation:
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods
presented. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full fiscal year.
The
significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021, contained
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022, have been applied consistently in these unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
d.
Use of estimates:
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. The duration, scope and
effects of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, government and other third-party responses to it, and the related
macroeconomic effects, including to the Company’s business and the business of the Company’s suppliers and customers are uncertain,
rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time
in response to this evolving situation. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets, inventories,
incremental credit losses on receivables and available-for-sale marketable debt securities, or an increase in the Company’s insurance
liabilities as of the time of a relevant measurement event.
e.
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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands,
except per share data)
NOTE
1: GENERAL (Cont.)
As
of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 20.9 %
and 27.9 %
of the Company’s total trade payables, net, respectively.
During
2020, the Company began commercial shipments from its manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”. During the
second quarter of 2021, Sella 1 reached full manufacturing capacity.
f.
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting
bodies are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards
that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
g.
Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:
In
October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and
Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in
Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU
should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company elected to early
adopt ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2022, and will apply this new guidance to all business combinations consummated subsequent to this date.
Currently this ASU has no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2021 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-10, Government
Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. Under ASU 2021-10, the accounting entities with
transactions with a government that are accounted for by analogy to a grant or contribution accounting model are required to annually
disclose certain information regarding the transaction including: (i) nature and related accounting policy used; (ii) line items on the
balance sheet and income statement affected by the transactions; (iii) amounts applicable to each line item; and (iv) significant terms
and conditions. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2021. The adoption
of this ASU will have a minor impact on the disclosures to the annual consolidated financial statements.
h.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.

5: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
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 three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash
flow hedging program. The Company hedges 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.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company entered into forward contracts and put and call options to sell and buy U.S. dollars (“USD”)
for NIS in the amount of $ 29
million and $ 44
million, respectively.
In
addition to the above-mentioned cash flow hedges transactions, the Company also entered into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge
the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges,
as defined by ASC 815, and therefore all gains and losses, resulting from fair value remeasurement, were recorded immediately in the statement
of income, under "Financial expense, net".
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company entered into forward contracts to sell Australian dollars (“AUD”) for U.S. dollars in the amount
of AUD 19
million.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company entered into forward contracts to sell Euro for U.S. dollars in the amount of € 29
million.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company entered into forward contracts to sell U.S. dollars for South Korean Won in the amount of $ 5,000 .
The
fair value of derivative assets as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 was $ 2,042
and $ 4,009 ,
which was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
The
fair value of derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021 was $ 536
and $ 169 ,
which was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a gain and in the amount of $ 934
and $ 3,536 ,
respectively, in "Financial expense, net", related to the derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized loss in the amount of $ 1,178
and $ 128 ,
net of tax effect, respectively, in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to the derivative assets designated as
hedging instruments.

6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In
accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities, at fair value using the market approach
valuation technique. Cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, because these
assets are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Foreign currency
derivative contracts are classified within the Level 2 value hierarchy, as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market
observable data of similar instruments.

10: CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
On
September 25, 2020, the Company sold $ 632,500
aggregate principal amount of its 0.00 %
convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold pursuant to an indenture, dated September 25, 2020 (the
“Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes do not bear regular interest and
mature on September
15, 2025 , unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are general senior unsecured
obligations of the Company. Holders may convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June
15, 2025 in multiples of $ 1,000
principal amount, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending
on December 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading
days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during
the five-business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the
Notes for each trading day of that five consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price
of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described
in the Indenture. In addition, holders may convert their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time beginning
on or after June 15, 2025, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity
date of the Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances. The initial conversion rate for the Notes was 3.5997
shares of common stock per $ 1,000
principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 277.80
per share of common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the Indenture .
Upon
conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares
of common stock.
In
addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase
all or a portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the
Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain fundamental changes
referred to as make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Notes may be increased.
The
Convertible Senior Notes consisted of the following as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Equity Incentive Plans:
The
Company’s 2007 Global Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors on August 30, 2007. The
2007 Plan terminated upon the Company’s IPO on March 31, 2015 and no further awards may be granted thereunder. All outstanding awards
will continue to be governed by their existing terms and 379,358
available options for future grant were transferred to the Company’s 2015 Global Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and
are reserved for future issuances under the 2015 plan. The 2015 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. The 2015 Plan
provides for the grant of options, restricted stock units ("RSU"), performance stock units ("PSU"), and other share-based awards to directors,
employees, officers and non-employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 18,047,085
shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to stock awards under the 2015 Plan (the “Share Reserve”).
The
Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1 st of
each year during the term of the 2015 Plan, commencing on January 1 st
of the year following the year in which the 2015 Plan becomes effective, in an amount equal to 5 %
of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31 st
of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that the Company’s board of directors may determine that there will not be a
January 1 st increase in the Share Reserve in a given year or
that the increase will be less than 5% of the shares of capital stock outstanding on the preceding December 31 st .
The
Company granted under its 2015 Plan, PSU awards to certain employees and officers which vest upon the achievement of certain performance
or market conditions subject to their continued employment with the Company.
The
market condition for the PSUs is based on the Company’s total shareholder return ("TSR") compared to the TSR of companies listed
in the S&P 500 index over a one to three year performance period. The Company uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to determine the grant
date fair value for these awards, which takes into consideration the market price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the
date of grant less the present value of dividends expected during the requisite service period, as well as the possible outcomes pertaining
to the TSR market condition. The Company recognizes such compensation expenses on an accelerated vesting method.

As
of March 31, 2022, contingent liabilities exist regarding guarantees in the amounts of $ 6,284
and $ 1,541
in respect of office rent lease agreements and other transactions, respectively.
b.
Contractual purchase obligations:
The
Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods and raw materials. These contractual purchase obligations relate to inventories
and other purchase orders, which cannot be canceled without penalty. In addition, the Company acquires raw materials or other goods and
services, including product components, by issuing authorizations to its suppliers to purchase materials based on its projected demand
and manufacturing needs.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had non-cancelable purchase obligations totaling approximately $ 1,426,689 ,
out of which the Company recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $ 4,745 .
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $ 144,201 .
These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s manufacturing process
as well as capital expenditures associated with the construction of Sella 2, the Company’s planned second lithium-ion cell and battery
factory in Korea.
c.
Legal claims:
From
time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses
its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be
reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted
to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a
particular matter.
In
September 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar
Technology AG (“SMA”). The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleges that SolarEdge's 12.5kW
- 27.6kW inverters infringe two of the plaintiff’s patents. SMA asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5
million (approximately $ 6,102 )
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 $ 1,658 ),
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 $ 1,658 .
The judgement has not been enforced. In addition, in January 2021, Huawei filed a motion to increase its claimed monetary damages to CNY
50.5
million (approximately $ 7,975 )
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 $ 7,975 ),
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 $ 1,658 ),
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 $ 8,029 )
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 March 31, 2022, accrued amounts for legal claims of $ 11,476
were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

NOTE
16: INCOME
TAXES
The
effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 27.1 %
and 20.9 %,
respectively.
The
increase in the effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2022, is primarily due to a different allocation of income among
the Company’s US, Israeli, and foreign subsidiaries and the change to Section 174 of the U.S Internal Revenue Code, which went into
effect on January 1, 2022. The change eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures currently and requires taxpayers
to amortize them over five years (if generated from a US entity) and fifteen years (if generated from non-US entities). This change resulted
in an increase in the Company’s taxable income and Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax.
As
of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, unrecognized tax benefits were $ 2,303
and $ 2,192 ,
respectively. If recognized, such benefits would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
The
Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The total amount of penalties
and interest were immaterial as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

17: SEGMENT, GEOGRAPHIC AND PRODUCT INFORMATION (Cont.)
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, 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.

Overview
We
are a leading provider of an optimized inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic,
known as PV systems. Our direct current or DC optimized inverter system maximizes power generation at the individual PV module level while
lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system, for improved return on investment, or ROI. Additional benefits of the DC
optimized inverter system include comprehensive and advanced safety features, improved design flexibility, and improved operating and
maintenance, or O&M with module-level and remote monitoring. Our future ready SolarEdge energy hub inverter which supports, among
other things, connection to a DC-coupled battery for full or partial home backup, and optional connection to the SolarEdge smart EV charger.
The typical SolarEdge optimized inverter system consists of power optimizers, inverters, a communication device which enables access to
a cloud-based monitoring platform and in many cases, additional smart energy management solutions. Our solutions address a broad range
of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations.
Since
introducing the optimized inverter solution in 2010, SolarEdge has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology, both
through organic growth and through acquisitions. SolarEdge now offers energy solutions which include not only residential, commercial
and small utility scale PV systems but also product offerings in the areas of energy storage systems or ESS and backup including our own
SolarEdge home battery, electric vehicle, or EV components and charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual
power plants or VPPs, lithium-ion batteries and uninterrupted power supply, known as UPS solutions.
In
the third quarter of 2020 we began commercial shipments to the U.S. from our manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella
1”. The proximity of Sella 1 to our R&D team and labs, enables us to accelerate new product development cycles as well as define
equipment and manufacturing processes of newly developed products which can then be adopted by our contract manufacturers world-wide.
During the second quarter of 2021, Sella 1 reached full manufacturing capacity. In 2020, we began construction of “Sella 2”,
a 2GWh Li-Ion cell factory in Korea. The new factory is being constructed to meet the growing global demand for Li-Ion cells and batteries,
specifically in the energy storage system (“ESS”) and e-Mobility markets. Sella 2 is expected to initiate test runs for manufacturing
in the first half of 2022.
We
are a leader in the global module-level power electronics (“MLPE”) market. As of March 31, 2022, we have shipped approximately
89.6 million power optimizers, 3.7 million inverters and 16.3 thousand residential batteries. Over 2.6 million installations, many of
which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud-based monitoring platform. As of March 31,
2022, we have shipped approximately 31.6 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 160.4 MW of our residential batteries.
Our
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 were $655.1 million and $405.5 million, respectively. Gross margins
for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021 was 27.3% and 34.5%, respectively. Net income for the three months ended March 31,
2022 and 2021 was $33.1 million and $30.1 million, respectively.
Covid-19
Impact & Response
Covid-19
continued to present challenges on our operations and business in 2021, primarily, operational challenges which we reported on continuously
during 2021. Due to the worldwide growing trend in availability and administration of vaccines against Covid-19, many restrictions resulted
from the pandemic were gradually lifted by governments across the globe. However, the future impact of the Covid-19 pandemic remains highly
uncertain. Resurgences of Covid-19 cases and the emergence of new variants may adversely impact our results of operations. For example,
the mandatory government shutdowns resulted from recent increase in Covid-19 cases in Shanghai lead to delays in our scheduled shipments
from the Shanghai port. Our first priority continues to be to protect and support our employees while maintaining company operations and
support of our customers with as few disruptions as possible. We follow the guidance issued by applicable local authorities and health
officials in each region in which we do business, including in our headquarters located in Israel.
While
we have not experienced any new disruptions resulting directly from Covid-19 in first quarter of 2022 , the pandemic and general global
economic conditions continued to present challenges to our operations and business. In the first quarter of 2022, we experienced
and expect to continue to experience in the second quarter of 2022, disruptions to our logistics supply chain caused by constraints in
the global transportation system including limited availability of local ground transportation coupled with congestion in shipping ports
and industry-wide component shortages. These factors have impacted our ability to accurately plan and forecast the delivery of our products
to customers and have also increased the total shipping time and cost of ocean freight for components and finished goods. Moreover, industry-wide
component shortages require our R&D teams to focus their attention on manufacturing and production design workarounds solutions which
can impact our ability to meet our plans to roll out new innovative products and services. Our operation team is working tirelessly to
mitigate the impact of the disruptions described above.
Impact
of Ukraine’s Conflict on the Energy Landscape
The
conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which started in early 2022, and the sanctions and other measures imposed in response to this conflict
have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While we do not have any meaningful business in Russia or Ukraine
and we do not have physical assets in these countries, this conflict has, and is likely to continue to have, a multidimensional impact
on the global economy, the energy landscape in general and the global supply chain. On one hand, in the first quarter of 2022, rising
global interest in becoming less dependent on gas and oil led to higher demand for our products. On the other hand, the conflict further
adversely affected the prices of raw materials arriving from Eastern Asia, and resulted in an increase in gas and oil prices, leading
to additional increases in shipping rates. Furthermore, various shipment routes were adversely impacted by the conflict resulting
in increased shipment lead times and shipping costs for our products. While the impact of this conflict cannot be predicted at this time,
the circumstances described above may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our
revenues for the first quarter 2022 of $655.1 million, reflect an increase from revenues of $551.9 million in the fourth quarter
of 2021.

Key
Operating Metrics
In
managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements with other
operating metrics. These operating metrics are utilized by our management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify
trends affecting our business and formulate projections. We use metrics relating to shipments (inverters, power optimizers, residential
batteries and megawatts shipped 1 ) to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products. We
use metrics relating to monitoring (systems monitored) to evaluate market acceptance of our products and usage of our solution.
We
provide the “megawatts shipped” metric, which is calculated based on inverter nameplate capacity shipped, to show adoption
of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter and
corresponds to our financial results in that higher total nameplate capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues.
However, revenues increase with each additional unit, not necessarily each additional MW of capacity sold. Accordingly, we also provide
the “inverters shipped”, “power optimizers shipped” and "residential batteries shipped" operating metrics.

Revenues
increased by $249.6 million, or 61.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2021, primarily due to (i) an increase in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold, with significant growth in revenues coming
from Europe and the U.S; (ii) an increase of $52.0 million related to the number of residential batteries sold mainly in the U.S and Europe;
and (iii) an increase of $20.7 million related to the number of powertrain kits supplied by SolarEdge e-Mobility. Revenues from outside
of the U.S. comprised 59.4% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 59.7% in the three months ended
March 31, 2021.
7
The
number of power optimizers recognized as revenues increased by approximately 1.9 million units, or 50.6%, from approximately 3.8 million
units in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately 5.7 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The number of inverters recognized as revenues increased by approximately 23.1 thousand units, or 12.6%, from approximately 182.9 thousand
units in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately 206.0 thousand units in the three months ended March 31,
2022. The number of residential batteries recognized as revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately 9.7 thousand.
Our
blended Average Selling Price ("ASP") per watt for solar products excluding residential batteries is calculated by dividing the solar
revenues by the name plate capacity of inverters shipped. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products shipped excluding residential batteries
increased by $0.045, or 20.2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase
in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to a relatively higher number of power optimizers and other solar products shipped compared
to the number of inverters shipped, which increased our total solar revenues but did not impact the watt amount used for calculating the
ASP per watt, as well as an increase in the sale of products with enhanced capabilities such as the SolarEdge energy hub inverter that
are characterized with higher ASP per watt, and price increases that went into effect during the second half of 2021.
This
increase in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by the increase in the sale of commercial products out of our total solar product
mix in the U.S and in ROW that are characterized with lower ASP per watt as well as the depreciation of the Euro and other currencies
against the U.S. Dollar.

Cost
of revenues increased by $210.7 million, or 79.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2021, primarily due to:
•
an increase in the volume of products
sold and the increase in the cost of components used in the manufacturing of our products;
•
a significant increase in shipment
and logistic costs in an aggregate amount of $29.4 million due to (i) an increase in shipment rates; and (ii) an increase in volumes
shipped;
•
an increase in warranty expenses and
warranty accruals of $17.9 million associated primarily with an increased number of products in our install base as well as an increase
in costs related to the different elements of our warranty expenses which include the cost of the products, shipment and other related
expenses;
•
an increase in custom duties of $10.1 million
attributed to higher tariff charges due to the manufacture of a higher portion of our products for the U.S. in China;
•
an increase in other production costs
of $14.9 million, which is mainly attributed to charges from our contract manufacturers due to manufacturing disruptions, related
to the global supply constraints, increased logistics costs resulting from transportation disruptions and the mobilization of components
among our different manufacturing sites and ramp up costs associated with the new contract manufacturing site in Mexico; and
•
an increase in personnel-related costs
of $4.2 million related to the expansion of our production, operations, and support headcount which grew in parallel to our growing
install base worldwide and the increase in costs associated with the production of powertrain units manufactured by the SolarEdge e-Mobility
division.
8
These
increases were partially offset by:
•
a decrease of $5.9 million in
inventory accrual which is mainly attributed to changes in inventory valuations related to manufacturing volumes, anticipated future use
of such raw materials and inventory write-offs.
Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 34.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 27.3% in the three months ended
March 31, 2022 as a result of the factors summarized above.

(131,561

As
of March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $1,002.8 million. This amount does not include $608.2 million invested in available
for sale marketable securities, $0.3 million invested in short-term restricted bank deposits and $1.5 million invested in long-term restricted
bank deposits. Our principal uses of cash are for funding our operations, capital expenditures, other working capital requirements and
other investments. As of March 31, 2022, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $144.2 million.
These commitments mainly reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to our manufacturing operations. We
also have purchase obligations in the amount of $1,426.7 million related to raw materials and commitments for the future manufacturing
of our products.
We
believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents, and available for sale marketable securities
will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months as well as in the longer term, including the self-funding
of our capital expenditure and operational commitments.
Operating
Activities
Operating
cash flows consists primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating
activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $163.0 million as compared to $24.1 million cash provided by operating cash
flows in the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to extended shipping times to customers and a significant increase in
inventory procurement which resulted in unfavorable changes in working capital in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was partially offset by higher net income adjusted for certain non-cash items.
Investing
Activities
Investing
cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures, investment in, sales and maturities of available for sale marketable securities,
investment and withdrawal of bank deposits and restricted bank deposits, and cash used for acquisitions. Cash used for investing activities
decreased by $138.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily
driven by a $172.5 million decrease in purchases of available-for-sale debt investments, net. This decrease was partially offset by an
increase of $17.5 million in capital expenditures, net and a $16.5 million decrease in cash provided by withdrawal from bank deposits
and restricted bank deposits.
Financing
Activities
Financing
cash flows consisted primarily of the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt and proceeds from the sale of shares of
common stock in a public offering and employee equity incentive plans. Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended
March 31, 2022 was $652.3 million compared to $2.1 million cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31,
2021, primarily due to a $650.5 million increase in cash provided by the issuance of common stock, net through a secondary public offering
and a $4.0 million increase in cash received from the exercise of stock-based awards net of withholding taxes remitted to the tax
authorities.
Secondary
public offering
On
March 17, 2022, we offered and sold 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $295.00 per
share. The net proceeds to the Company after underwriters' discounts and commissions and offering costs were $650,526. We intend to use
the proceeds from the public offering for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions. See Note 11b to our condensed consolidated
financial statements for more information.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial
position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, customer concentrations, and interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading
purposes.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Risk
Approximately
56.9% and 54.9% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, were earned in non U.S. dollar
denominated currencies, principally the Euro. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located,
primarily the U.S. dollar, New Israeli Shekel ("NIS"), Euro, and to a lesser extent, the South Korean Won ("KRW"). Our NIS denominated
expenses consist primarily of personnel and overhead costs. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject
to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease
our net income by $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange
rates between the NIS and the U.S. dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2022.
For
purposes of our consolidated financial statements, local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange to the
U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate as of the date of the
transaction or at the average exchange rate to the U.S. dollar during the reporting period.
To
date, we have used derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward contracts and put and call options, to manage
exposure to foreign currency risks by hedging portions of the anticipated payroll payments denominated in NIS. These derivative instruments
are designated as cash flow hedges.
In
addition, we also entered into derivative financial instrument to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S.
dollar, mainly forward contracts and put and call options to buy and sell Euro for U.S. dollars, forward contracts to sell AUD for U.S.
dollars and forward contracts to sell U.S. dollars for KRW. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges.
Concentrations
of Major Customers
Our
trade accounts receivables potentially expose us to a concentration of credit risk with our major customers. As of March 31, 2022,
two major customers accounted for approximately 34.3% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. As of March 31, 2021, one major
customer accounted for approximately 16.0% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2022
and 2021, one major customer accounted for approximately 23.5% and 21.2% of total revenues, respectively. We currently do not foresee
a credit risk associated with these receivables.
Commodity
Price Risk
We
are subject to risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials, including copper, which are used in our products.
Prices of these raw materials may be affected by supply restrictions or other market factors from time to time, and we do not enter into
hedging arrangements to mitigate commodity risk. Significant price changes for these raw materials could reduce our operating margins
if we are unable to recover such increases from our customers, and could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
13
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
as of March 31, 2022. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management
is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based
on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and
to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred
during the first fiscal quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.
ITEM 1.
Legal Proceedings
In
the normal course of business, we may from time to time be named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints (including
as a result of initiating such legal claims, action or complaints on behalf of the Company), including the matters described in Item 3
– “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021. It is impossible to
predict with certainty whether any resulting liability from any such legal claims, actions or complaints would have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk set forth below and the risk factors
as described in Part I, Item 1A, ”Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Disruption
in our global supply chain and rising prices of oil and raw materials as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely
affect our businesses and results of operations.
The
conflict that began between Russia and Ukraine in late February 2022, and the recent recognition by Russia of the independence of the
self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine, may significantly amplify already existing disruptions
to our supply-chain and logistics. Specifically, the conflict may disrupt the transit of goods by train from China to Europe, result in
an increase in prices of certain raw materials sourced in Russia (such as nickel and aluminum) that we use in the manufacture of our products
as well as increase oil prices that will in turn cause overall shipping costs to rise. In addition, the governments of the United States,
the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have announced sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and
the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions,
as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect the global financial markets
generally and levels of economic activity as well as increase financial markets volatility. Our compliance with these measures, and any
additional measures or sanctions, as well as the resulting rise in prices of oil and certain raw materials sourced in Russia may disrupt
our business and results of operations and/or adversely affect the pricing of our products.
