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.
