Overview
We
are a global smart energy technology company. We develop, manufacture and sell products that address a broad range of energy market segments
through our diversified product offering, including residential, commercial and large scale photovoltaic or PV, energy storage and backup
solutions, EV charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants. By leveraging engineering capabilities
and with focusing on innovation, safety and reliability, we create smart energy solutions that power our lives and drive future progress.
We
launched or ramped up sales of several new products in the first quarter of 2026. Most notably, after we successfully launched our next-generation
residential product portfolio, called SolarEdge Nexis, we continued the roll out with units installed in key markets. We also expanded
our commercial energy storage business with CSS-OD, a102.4 kWh rated solution scalable up to megawatt hour size sites and with the 197
kWh battery, the CSS-OD 197, featuring a 50 kW or 100 kW battery inverter output, scalable up to 4MW hour size sites. Both solutions are
suitable for outdoor or indoor installations.
In
Q1 2026, we continued the transition of our inverter products to a Single SKU concept. This is a software-defined platform that significantly
reduces the complexity of our business for residential and commercial applications globally. It allows us to manufacture and ship one
SKU of an inverter to the residential market, and minimal SKUs for the commercial market, which can then be programmed to the desired
kilowatt rating in the field. This framework simplifies forecasting, manufacturing, inventory management, logistics, service and support,
for both us and our customers. It also adds flexibility for home and business owners who can boost the inverter rating if a larger system
is needed in the future.
In
light of the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) in the United States, which incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable
energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of products with domestic content, as well as by
incentivizing local manufacturing of our products, we manufacture the vast majority of our products in the United States. This includes
inverters in Texas, power optimizers and inverters in Florida, and batteries in Utah. As part of our effort to streamline and centralize,
we have discontinued manufacturing in China, Mexico, and Hungary. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel
at our Sella 1 facility. We also continue to maintain manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam.
In
the first quarter of 2026, we continued to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets
and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our
operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. Accordingly, we operate as one operating segment
that constitutes consolidated results.
Our
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were $310.5 million and $219.5 million, respectively. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue was 22.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 8.0%, for the three months ended
March 31, 2025. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025 was $57.4 million and $98.5 million, respectively.

Global
Circumstances Influencing our Business and Operations
Demand
for Products
A
prolonged softness in demand in the global market for PV products has continued to adversely impact the solar industry. Additionally,
uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may contribute to growing market
volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. Despite a prolonged softness
in demand, we have seen an increase in sales due to more normalized channel inventory. Additionally, the attachment rate of batteries
within solar installations is rising globally, which we believe has led an increase in demand for our batteries.
I mpact
of the H.R.1 on U.S. Tax Incentives
In
August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the IRA, which contains several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption
of clean energy such as solar, wind, hydrogen and electric vehicles and therefore had positive impacts on our business and operations
along with the overall U.S. solar market. Some of the applicable provisions in the IRA that are positively impacting the market for renewable
energy include the extension of 48E, the tech-neutral investment tax credit ITC, and 45Y, the tech-neutral PTC. The IRA includes incentives
for residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of ITCs for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%
with a potential to gain further bonus credits such as through the utilization of Domestic Content. Section 45X of the IRA offers advanced
manufacturing production credits (“AMPTCs”), that incentivize the production of eligible components within the United States.
In light of such incentives, we established manufacturing capabilities in the United States starting in 2023 and further expanded such
capabilities in 2024 and 2025. On October 24, 2024, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and the U.S. Department
of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) issued a Notice of Proposed Rule followed by a Final Rule that became effective on December
27, 2024, concerning the application of Section 45X which contain details concerning eligibility, qualifying and accounting for AMPTCs
for components produced and sold after December 31, 2022. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate
as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized
Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. In 2024 and 2025, we sold a significant part of the AMPTCs that we generated
from our U.S. production of eligible components.
On
July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted into law introducing amendments to the clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The IRA provides
energy tax credits that are significant to us and our U.S. based customers, and material changes thereto could adversely affect our revenue,
our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial
condition.
H.R.1
accelerates the phase-out timeline for certain credits, eliminates the 25D individual homeowner credit, and imposes new eligibility criteria.
Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit ("ITC") and production tax credit ("PTC") under Sections
48E and 45Y of the Code, used by customers of SolarEdge who are engaged in third-party ownership (“TPO”) models, such as residential
solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027.
However, H.R.1 also includes a 12-month period in which such customers can begin construction giving them four years to complete their
projects through the end of 2030. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment (July 4, 2026) of H.R.1 must be placed in service
by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 eliminated the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the
end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively
affect the overall demand for our products.
SOLAREDGE
TECHNOLOGIES INC. | 2026 Form 10-Q | 6
H.R.1
also amends the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects. Projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025, must
meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%. Since January 1, 2026, such threshold was increased to 50% and shall thereafter
be further increased by 5% on an annual basis, until 2029. In addition, H.R.1 introduced new Prohibited Foreign Entities ("PFE") requirements
for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. Since January 1, 2026, these restrictions require threshold percentages of non-PFE components
that increase over time. Currently, we manufacture components aimed at helping our customers meet their non-PFE percentage requirements.
However, if the Treasury were to release new rules or guidance that impact our ability to provide components with non-PFE percentages
towards their total requirement, our customers’ eligibility to qualify for certain tax credits could be impaired, which may adversely
affect our revenue, gross margins, business operations and competitive position. In addition, as of January 1, 2026, in order to receive
the 45X credit, manufacturers must also reach a required percentage of non-PFE content in their manufactured components. Today, we meet
the required threshold. However, if the Treasury guidance relating to the calculation of non-PFE content should change in a way that would
impact our ability to reach that required percentage, it could have adverse impacts on our manufacturing costs, results of operations,
cash flows, gross margin, and profits.
On
August 15, 2025, the Treasury and the IRS released Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R.1 related to beginning of construction
requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method (still
allowing projects equal to or less than 1.5 MW to continue using it), but kept in place the physical work test method for all projects.
On
February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R. 1 related
to the PFE rules enacted in H.R.1. Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing
safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions
related to the Company’s 45X Credits material assistance calculations and its customers' 48E material assistance calculation among
other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed
Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the PFE requirements or
to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers
eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations, cash flows, gross margins and
profits.
To the extent that tax
benefits or credits may be impacted through new regulation, issued guidance, interpretation, or by new laws passed by Congress, our business
could be disadvantaged or advantaged. Reductions in AMPTCs, without an offsetting reduction in our manufacturing costs, would adversely
affect our results of operations and cash flows, and have an adverse impact on our gross margin, which may include transitioning into
a gross loss. We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers.
SOLAREDGE
TECHNOLOGIES INC. | 2026 Form 10-Q | 7
Trade
Tariff Uncertainties
The
current trade situation is creating uncertainty about what impact new or existing tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory actions may
have on us, the solar industry, our partners, and our customers.
On
February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (the "U.S. Supreme Court") issued a decision invalidating certain tariffs imposed
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Following this ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an
order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to establish a process for the submission and review of refund
claims related to affected IEEPA tariffs. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched an online portal through which companies may submit IEEPA tariff
refund requests. Such claims are subject CBP review and validation, and the approval, timing, and amount of any refunds remain subject
to CBP determination. As a result of this ruling, we may be eligible to receive tariff refunds. However, the realization of any such refunds
remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that any amounts will ultimately be received. In addition, following the U.S. Supreme
Court’s decision, the Administration announced the imposition of new global tariffs of up to 15% under Section 122 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
We
have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we manufacture the vast bulk of our products. We continue to manufacture
a minor portion of our products in Israel at our Sella 1 facility. Certain critical subcomponents for our products are still sourced from
outside the United States. If not resolved, the escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions
or other retaliatory measures on our products or components or subcomponents originating from countries outside of the United States,
could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components or subcomponents, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell
our products at prices customers are willing to pay. In addition, retaliatory measures from other countries on products originating from
the United States for export could adversely impact our ability to sell our products at competitive prices in such countries. Certain
of the subcomponents used in our products are being imported to the United States from China, which may be subject to significantly increased
tariffs. In light of the aforementioned, we continue to adjust our supply chains and are exploring alternative suppliers outside of China,
however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in identifying suitable alternatives, or that such alternatives, if identified,
will not result in increased costs or reduced operational efficiency.
If
the price of solar power systems increases, as well as the cost of manufacturing our products in the United States, the use of solar power
systems could become less economically feasible and could further reduce our gross margins or reduce the demand of solar power systems
manufactured and sold, which in turn may decrease demand for our products. Additionally, existing or future tariffs may negatively affect
key partners, suppliers and manufacturers. Such outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations
or cash flows, and continuing uncertainty could cause sales volatility, price fluctuations or supply shortages or cause our customers
to advance or delay their purchase of our products. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business operations,
results of operations and cash flows.
Disruptions
Due to the War in Israel
Due
to the war in Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, followed by additional military conflicts with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon during
2024, 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, some of our employees in Israel were called to active reserve duty and additional employees
may be called in the future, if needed. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 6.8% of our employees in Israel were called
to active reserve duty for varying periods. Despite the ceasefire framework agreed between Israel, Hamas, the United States and other
countries in the region and the moderation of the hostilities involving Israel, Iran, Yemen and Lebanon, it is unknown whether any ceasefires
or periods of relative calm will endure, or if other conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, or in the broader region will reemerge or
escalate in the future.
While
our offices and facilities are open worldwide, including in Israel, and, to date, we have not had material disruptions to our ability
to manufacture and deliver products and services to customers. A reemergence of conflicts in Israel could materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the ongoing and evolving nature of the conflict in Israel, and the
extent of these events, the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown.
The
majority of our key employees and officers are residents of Israel. If any of our facilities in Israel were to be damaged, destroyed or
otherwise rendered unable to operate, whether due to war, acts of hostility, earthquakes, fire, floods, storms, other natural disasters,
employee malfeasance, terrorist acts, power outages or otherwise, or if performance of our research and development is disrupted for any
other reason, such an event could delay commercialization of our products, and if we choose to manufacture all or any part of them internally,
jeopardize our ability to manufacture our products as promptly as our prospective customers will likely expect, or possibly at all. If
we experience delays in achieving our development objectives within a timeframe that meets our prospective customers’ expectations,
our business, prospects, financial results and reputation could be harmed.

Revenues
increased by $91.0 million, or 41.5%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31,
2025, primarily due to an increase of $35.9 million related to an increase in the number of power optimizers sold; an increase of
$53.0 million related to an increase in the number of batteries sold; and an increase of $19.3 million related to more ancillary
solar products sold; these were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $7.8 million in revenue from inverters sold; and (ii) a decrease
of $7.0 million in revenues due to the discontinuation of our Energy Storage Business.
Revenues
from outside of the U.S. comprised 49.1% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 39.8% in the three
months ended March 31, 2025.
The
number of power optimizers recognized as revenues increased by approximately 0.3 million units, or 15.4%, from approximately 2.1 million
units in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to approximately 2.4 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The number of inverters recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 21.4 thousand units, or 29.8%, from approximately 72.0 thousand
units in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to approximately 50.5 thousand units in the three months ended March 31,
2026. The megawatt hours of batteries recognized as revenues increased by approximately 154 megawatt hours, or 86.8% from approximately
177 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to approximately 331 megawatt hours in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as
a result of increase in demand.

Cost
of revenues increased by $40.3 million, or 19.9%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31,
2025, primarily due to: an increase in the direct cost of revenues sold of $60.4 million associated primarily with an increase in the
volume of products sold, offset by an increase in AMPTC recognized; excluding such AMPTC incentives would have caused us to transition
into a gross loss, for both periods presented.
This
was partially offset by:
•
a
decrease in warranty expenses of $9.9 million associated primarily with a lower cost of materials and changes in estimates and policies;
and
•
a
decrease in ramp-up and underutilization costs of $9.5 million.
Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 22.0%, compared to 8.0%, in the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily due to:
•
lower
absolute fixed and other production related costs, which were divided this period by higher revenues, resulting in higher gross margin
of approximately 7.8%,
•
an
improvement in the direct cost of revenue of approximately 6.5% associated primarily to product mix, increase of US made products and
the AMPTC recognized, offset by an increase in costs due to the manufacturing in the U.S.; and
•
a
decrease in warranty expenses of approximately 2.7% associated primarily with a lower cost of materials and changes in estimates and policies.
These
were partially offset by approximately 2.9% due to higher discontinuation and restructuring gains in the three months ended March 31,
2025.

General
and administrative expenses have increased by $6.2 million, or 20.7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a net provision for doubtful debt in the amount of $13.4 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2026 compared to a net reversal of $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 mainly related to collection
of doubtful debt.
This
was partially offset by:
•
a
decrease of $8.1 million primarily due to a penalty for postponing the commencement of our campus lease agreement in the three months
ended March 31, 2025;
•
a
decrease in personnel-related costs, of $4.7 million primarily resulting from our workforce reduction plan designed to reduce operating
expenses and align our cost structure to current market dynamics. This was partially offset by the weakening of the USD compared to the
NIS; and
•

As
of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents were $512.4 million. This amount does not include $29.3 million invested in available-for-sale
marketable securities, $41.0 million in restricted cash, and $0.5 million invested in deposits and restricted deposits. Our principal
uses of cash are for funding our operations, capital expenditures, other working capital requirements and other investments. As of March 31,
2026, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $17.5 million. These commitments mainly reflect
purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to our manufacturing and operations. We also have purchase obligations
in the amount of $297.2 million, related to raw materials and commitments for the future manufacturing of our products.
As
of March 31, 2026, we had a non-cancelable lease commitment for the initial term of a lease of approximately $274.2 million for new offices
in Israel, which has not yet commenced. The lease is expected to commence during the next twelve months. The initial term of the lease
agreement is 15 years commencing on the transfer of possession, with an option to extend the lease for additional periods of up to 10
years, subject to the conditions of the lease agreement. In November 2025, we amended our lease agreement with the developer for our new
campus to reduce the leased area. In connection with the amendment, we agreed to make a lease modification payment of $28.8 million, which
is accounted for as prepaid lease consideration under Accounting Standards Codification 842, "Leases". The full amount had been paid as
of March 31, 2026.
Beginning
in the fourth quarter of 2024, we started to sell AMPTCs to third parties pursuant to tax credit agreements. We plan to pursue additional
tax credit sales in the future. Our inability to complete sales or delays in doing so may affect the timing of our cash inflows. Failing
to sell AMPTCs could result in delays between 18-24 months in the realization of the credits’ value, and would have a negative effect
on our liquidity.
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, operational commitments and the redemption of our debt.
SOLAREDGE
TECHNOLOGIES INC. | 2026 Form 10-Q | 17
Operating
Activities
Operating
cash flows consist primarily of net loss, adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by
operating activities was $24.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $33.8 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2025, attributed to an increase in working capital needs partially offset by lower net loss 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, cash used for acquisitions, proceeds from sale of business and
equity investments, and disbursements and receipts from collections of loans made by us. Cash used in investing activities was $20.4 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $67.6 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by a decrease of $134.1 million in proceeds provided by sales and maturities of
available-for-sale marketable securities, an increase of $26.2 million in payments made before lease commencement, a decrease of $13.6
million in proceeds from loans receivables, these were partially offset by a decrease of $72.5 million in purchases of available-for-sale
marketable securities, a decrease of $6.6 million in payment related to governmental grant and a decrease of $6.4 million in capital expenditures.
Financing
Activities
Financing
cash flows consist primarily of issuance, repayment and partial repurchase of convertible senior notes, and our employee equity
incentive plans. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to cash
used in financing activities of $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $5.1 million
in cash used for the repurchase of our Notes 2025, an increase of $3.8 million related to issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock-based
awards, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in tax withholding in connection with stock-based awards, net.
Convertible
Senior Notes
On
June 28, 2024, we sold an aggregate principal amount of $300 million of 2.25% convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the "Notes 2029")
in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act (the "Notes 2029 Offering").
The net proceeds from the Notes 2029 Offering were approximately $293.2 million after deducting fees and estimated expenses. Separately,
we have entered into capped call transactions. We used approximately $25.2 million of the net proceeds from the Notes 2029 Offering to
pay for the cost of the capped call transactions and approximately $267.9 million of the net proceeds from the Notes 2029 Offering to
repurchase $285.0 million of our outstanding 0.000% convertible notes due 2025 (the "Notes 2025"). We intend to use the remainder of the
net proceeds from the Notes 2029 Offering for general corporate purposes.
SOLAREDGE
TECHNOLOGIES INC. | 2026 Form 10-Q | 18
On
July 8, 2024, we sold an aggregate principal amount of $37 million of the Notes 2029. The Notes 2029 were sold pursuant to the exercise
of options granted by the Company to several initial purchasers of the Notes 2029 represented by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to purchase
additional Notes 2029. For additional information, please see Note 11, “Convertible Senior Notes.”
In
March 2025 we repurchased $5.2 million principal amount of our Notes 2025. We recorded a net gain of $146 thousands under other income
from this repurchase. We settled all of our outstanding Notes 2025 on September 15, 2025. As part of the settlement, we paid $342.3 million
in cash towards principal amount of the Notes 2025 and no shares were issued in connection with the settlement as the conversion value
was less than the principal amounts of the Notes 2025.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
Management
believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the items that we disclosed
as our critical accounting policies and estimates in MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025, except as mentioned in Note 1, “General” (if any).
