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 full or partial home backup capabilities, and optional connection to the Company's smart EV charger, (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) batteries for PV applications that are used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for PV system's owners 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 offers a variety of energy solutions, which include lithium-ion cells, batteries, and energy storage systems (“Energy Storage”), automated machines for industrial use (“Automation Machines”), as well as cloud-based energy management solutions.
|
| 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, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
| 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. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties.
| 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.
As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 44.9 % and 58.5 % of the Company’s total trade payables, net, respectively.
The Company's own manufacturing facility, Sella 1, located in the north of Israel, is primarily used in the Company's Solar segment operations. Additionally, Sella 2, a Company owned manufacturing facility in South Korea, together with a smaller Company owned facility, are used for the Energy Storage segment.

New accounting standards updates:
|
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). Additional segment reporting information required by ASU 2023-07 includes: disclosing the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as the CODM, provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, and additional disclosures regarding significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes to be included in effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure. Additionally, the newly added categories also apply to the income taxes paid disclosure. Implementation of said additions are subject to quantitative thresholds. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
NOTE 2: INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATELY-HELD COMPANIES
In January 2023, the Company completed an investment of $5,500 in the common stock of Weev Energy B.F. Ltd., ("Wevo"), a privately-held company, which represented 34.8 % of Wevo's outstanding shares. The investment agreement included a call option to acquire Wevo's remaining outstanding shares. The Company accounted for the common stock and the call option as a single hybrid instrument.
The Company accounted for its investment in Wevo using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment, which was initially recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee as they occur, rather than when dividends or other distributions are received. The Company's share of net losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $296 .
In January 2024, the Company completed an investment of $6,000 in the preferred stock of Ivy Energy, Inc, ("Ivy"), a privately-held U.S. company. The Company accounted for the Ivy investment as an equity investment that does not have readily determinable fair values. As such, the Company’s non-marketable equity securities had a carrying value of $6,000 as of March 31, 2024.
As of March 2024, the Company completed an investment of $5,000 in the preferred stock of Stardust Solution, Inc, ("Stardust"), a privately-held U.S. company. The Company accounted for the Stardust investment as an equity investment that does not have readily determinable fair values. As such, the Company’s non-marketable equity securities had a carrying value of $5,000 as of March 31, 2024.
Investments in privately-held companies are included within other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value of investments in privately-held companies was $16,183 .
There were no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 associated with this equity method investment.

1 Vendor non-trade receivables derived from the sale of components to manufacturing vendors who manufacture products, components and other testing equipment for the Company. The Company purchases these components directly from other suppliers. The Company does not reflect the sale of these components to the contract manufacturers in its revenues.
2 Loan receivables are loans to third parties. The loan repayments are expected on a monthly or annual basis as per the contractual terms of each loan agreement. The loan is measured at its amortized cost and is subjected to the Company's credit risk policy. The loans bear interest that represent market interest rate. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's provision for credit loss was $2,395 . The amortized cost of the loan receivable approximates its fair value as of March 31, 2024.

NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to reduce the risk of a forecasted increase in the value of foreign currency cash flows, resulting from payment of salaries in Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll denominated in NIS for a period of one to nine months with 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, 2024, the Company entered into put and call options to sell U.S. dollars (“USD”) for NIS in the amount of NIS 276
In addition to the above-mentioned cash flow hedge transactions, the Company occasionally enters into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than USD. 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 (loss), under "Financial income (expense), net".
As of March 31, 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap contract to sell Euro (“EUR”) for USD in the amount of EUR 18 million.
The Company classifies cash flows related to its hedging as operating activities in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
The fair values of outstanding derivative instruments were as follows:

NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement" the Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities, at fair value using the market approach valuation technique. Cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 because these assets are valued using quoted market prices. Marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within level 2 due to these assets being valued by alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 13: STOCK CAPITAL
a. Common stock rights:
Common stock confers upon its holders the right to receive notice of, and to participate in, all general meetings of the Company, where each share of common stock shall have one vote for all purposes, to share equally, on a per share basis, in bonuses, profits, or distributions out of fund legally available therefor, and to participate in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company in the event of liquidation of the Company.
b. 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 grants 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, 2024, a total of 23,709,926 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to stock awards under the 2015 Plan (the “Share Reserve”), an aggregate of 13,676,076 shares are still available for future grants.
The Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1st of each year during the term of the 2015 Plan, commencing on January 1st 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 31st of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that the Company’s board of directors may determine that there will not be a January 1st 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 31st.
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.
The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options is 10,000,000 . As of March 31, 2024, an aggregate of 8,617,974 options are still available for future grants under the 2015 Plan.

c. Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"):
The Company adopted an ESPP effective upon the consummation of the IPO. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 4,638,023 shares were reserved for issuance under this plan. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will increase automatically on January 1st of each year, for ten years, by the lesser of 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year or 487,643 shares. However, the Company’s board of directors may reduce the amount of the increase in any particular year at their discretion, including a reduction to zero.
The ESPP is implemented through an offering every six months. According to the ESPP, eligible employees may use up to 15 % of their salaries to purchase common stock up to an aggregate limit of $15 per participant for every six months plan. The price of an ordinary share purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85 % of the lower of the fair market value of the ordinary share on the subscription date of each offering period or on the purchase date.

e. Repurchase of Common Stock:
On November 1, 2023, the Company announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to $300,000 of the Company’s common stock. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs and/or a non-discretionary trading plan or other means, including through 10b5-1 trading plans, all in compliance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common share repurchases under the share repurchase program are determined by the Company in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock, it may be suspended, extended, modified, discontinued or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and will expire on December 31, 2024.

NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
a. Guarantees:
As of March 31, 2024, contingent liabilities exist regarding guarantees in the amounts of $6,002 , and $1,841 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, 2024, the Company had non-cancellable purchase obligations totaling approximately $484,287 , out of which the Company recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $23,259 .
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $32,967 . These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s general manufacturing process and are primarily for its new manufacturing sites in the U.S.
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.
On November 3, 2023, Daphne Shen, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a proposed class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws, individually and punitively on behalf of all others similarly situated, in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York against the Company, the Company’s CEO and the Company’s CFO. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint seeks class certification, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. On December 13, 2023, Javier Cascallar filed a similar proposed class action. On February 7, 2024, the Court consolidated the two actions, and appointed co-lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. On April 22, 2024, the co-lead Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding two additional officers. The amended complaint makes substantially similar allegations and claims. Due to the early stage of this proceeding, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any, or the likelihood of a potential adverse outcome. The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend against them.
In August 2019, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in the civil courts of Milan, Italy against the Italian subsidiary of SolarEdge e-Mobility S.r.l (previously SMRE S.p.A) that purchased the shares of SolarEdge e-Mobility in the tender offer that followed the SolarEdge e-Mobility Acquisition by certain former shareholders of SolarEdge e-Mobility who tendered their shares. The lawsuit asked for damages of approximately $3,000 , representing the difference between the amount for which they tendered their shares (6 Euro per share) and 6.7 Euros per share. In December 2023, the court of Milan, rendered a decision ordering SolarEdge to pay, in favor of each plaintiff, the difference between the price paid (6 Euro per share) and 6.44 Euro per share, (i.e. 0.44 euros per share) for a total payment of approximately $1,700 , which consists, in addition to the shareholders' compensation, legal expenses, court fees, VAT, and CPA expenses per local law. The Company is currently evaluating whether to appeal this decision.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an accrual of $2,229 for legal claims which was recorded under accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

NOTE 17: RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXIT ACTIVITIES
On January 21, 2024, the Company announced the adoption of a restructuring plan in response to challenging industry conditions (the “Restructuring Plan”). Under the Restructuring Plan, the Company reduced its headcount by approximately 16% over the first half of 2024 through an involuntary workforce reduction plan. The adoption of the Restructuring Plan follows the Company’s previous measures taken to align with current market conditions, including termination of manufacturing in Mexico, reduction of manufacturing capacity in China, and discontinuation of the Company’s light commercial vehicle e-mobility activity.
Restructuring and other exit charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 by segment and type of cost were as follows:

NOTE 18: INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reported tax benefits and its effective tax rate was 13.1 %, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, where the Company reported income taxes and its effective tax rate was 17.5 %.
The change in effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 is primarily attributable to the fact that the pre-tax loss for the quarter was in jurisdictions where the Company is either subject to a lower tax rate or where we do not anticipate a future tax benefit.
As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, unrecognized tax benefits were $18,496 and $15,908 , 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 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $4,570 and $2,927 , respectively.
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes several incentives intended to promote clean energy, battery and energy storage, electrical vehicles, and other solar products, and is expected to impact our business and operations. As part of such incentives, the IRA will, among other things, extend the investment tax credit (“ITC”) through 2034 and is therefore expected to increase the demand for solar products. The IRA is expected to further incentivize residential and commercial solar customers and developers due to the inclusion of significant tax credits for qualifying energy projects, and Advanced Manufacturing tax credits ("AMPTC") for U.S. manufacturing of eligible components (under IRC §45X), including PV inverters and DC-optimized systems.The Company has been manufacturing eligible products in the U.S. since the fourth quarter of 2023. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company manufactured and sold products that entitle it to $14,960 of AMPTCs, which were recorded as a reduction in of cost of revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not record AMPTCs. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, benefits recognized from AMPTCs of $20,980 and $6,020 , respectively, were recorded as a tax prepayment within prepayment and other current assets. The implementation of the new incentive rules is complex and further guidance by the U.S. Treasury on these rules is still pending.

NOTE 20: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Following the discontinuation of its e-Mobility LCV activity, the Company operates in three different operating segments: Solar, Energy Storage 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 (loss) is comprised of gross profit (loss) for the segment less operating expenses that do not include amortization and impairment of purchased intangible assets, stock based compensation expenses, restructuring charges, discontinued activity charges 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 two operating segments as reportable – the Solar segment and the Energy Storage 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 batteries for PV applications. The Solar segment solution consists mainly of the Company’s power optimizers, inverters, batteries, and cloud‑based monitoring platform.
The Energy Storage segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of high-energy, high-power, lithium-ion cells and racks and containerized battery systems for C&I and Utility markets. The Energy Storage segment provides purpose-built components and solutions, hardware and software, as well as pre and post sales engineering support to design, build, and manage battery and system solutions according to the customer’s use cases and mission profiles.
The “All other” category includes automated machines and e-Mobility (in prior periods).

Overview
We develop, manufacture and sell products in a solar segment that addresses 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, electric vehicle or EV charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants, as well as products in our non-solar businesses including lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage systems, which are part of our Energy Storage Segment as well as automation machines ("Automation Machines") and in prior years, we also had product offerings for the e-mobility market. In October 2023, we decided to discontinue our light commercial vehicle ("LCV") e-Mobility activity. The remaining e-mobility activity, which includes PV applications, has been included under the solar segment starting January 1, 2024.

The Company identified two reportable segments: the Solar segment and Energy Storage segment. The Solar segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of its DC optimized inverter solutions designed to maximize power generation at the PV module level and batteries for PV applications. The Solar segment solution consists mainly of the Company’s power optimizers, inverters, batteries and cloud‑based monitoring platform. The Energy Storage segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of high-energy, high-power, lithium-ion cells and BESS solutions for C&I and Utility markets. The Energy Storage segment provides purpose-built components and solutions, hardware and software, as well as pre and post sales engineering support to design, build, and manage battery and system solutions according to the customer’s use cases and mission profiles. The “All other” category includes the design, development, manufacturing and sales of e-Mobility products and automated machines (in prior periods).
In the third quarter of 2020, we began commercial shipments 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 worldwide. In May 2022, we opened “Sella 2”,our own manufacturing facility for Li-Ion cells, in Korea. Sella 2 currently has a 2GWh capacity. Sella 2 began producing and shipping cells at the end of 2022 and is expected to gradually increase manufacturing capacity during 2024. In light of the Inflation Reduction Act legislation in the United States, which incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of product with domestic content, as well as by incentivizing local manufacturing of our products, we have begun manufacturing inverters in Texas and are currently establishing additional manufacturing capabilities in Florida for optimizers and inverters. With the ramp up of these new sites and due to a decrease in demand for our products, we have reduced capacity in our manufacturing site in China and discontinued manufacturing of our products in Mexico. As of March 31, 2024, we shipped approximately 126.2 million power optimizers, 5.6 million inverters and 259.6 thousand residential batteries. Over 3.8 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, 2024, we shipped approximately 53.6 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 1.8 GWh of our batteries for PV applications.
Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were $204.4 million and $943.9 million, respectively. Gross loss was 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to gross margin of 31.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net loss was $157.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $138.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Global Circumstances Influencing our Business and Operations
Demand for Products
We have seen a slowdown in demand for our products in our Solar segment from our direct customers since the second part of the third quarter of 2023. This was a result of slowed market demand in the third quarter of 2023 as distributors began to take actions to reduce inventory levels. In particular, beginning in the second part of the third quarter of 2023, we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. We attribute these cancellations and pushouts to high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates both in the United States and Europe. This trend continued in the following quarters. Additionally, the Company anticipates a continued lower level of revenues in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter last year, as the inventory destocking process continues.
5
Disruptions due to the war in Israel
Due to the war that began on October 7, 2023, approximately 10% of our employees in Israel were called to active reserve duty and additional employees may be called in the future, if needed. About 75% of these employees have returned to work, though recruitments for additional reserve duties may and have reoccurred. While our offices and facilities are open worldwide, including in Israel, and, to date, we have not had disruptions to our ability to manufacture and deliver products and services to customers, a prolonged war or an escalation of the current conditions in Israel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the recency of these events, and their ongoing and evolving nature, the extent of the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown.
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. In 2022, rising global interest in becoming less dependent on gas and oil led to higher demand for our products. The conflict adversely affected the prices of raw materials arriving from Eastern Asia and resulted in an increase in gas and oil prices. 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 decreased in 2023, a change or escalation of this ongoing conflict could increase the impacts from the circumstances described above and may lead to an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Inflation Reduction Act
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption of clean energy, battery and energy storage, electrical vehicles, and other solar products and is expected to impact our business and operations. As part of such incentives, the IRA, among other things, extends the investment tax credit and production tax credit through 2034 and is therefore expected to increase the demand for solar products. The IRA also further incentivizes residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of a tax credit for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%. Section 45X of the IRA offers advanced manufacturing production tax credits that incentivize the production of eligible components within the U.S. To that end, we established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023 and announced additional capacity expected during 2024. These provisions of the law are new and regulations and guidance concerning their implementation are gradually being published by the U.S. Treasury Department. We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers. To the extent that tax benefits or credits may be available to competing technology and not to our technology, our business could be adversely disadvantaged.

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 of inverters, power optimizers and megawatts to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products.
We provide the “megawatts shipped” and “megawatts hour shipped” metrics, which are calculated based on inverter or battery nameplate capacity shipped, respectively, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter or battery, and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total nameplate capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues may increase in a non-correlated manner to the “megawatt shipped” metric since other products such as power optimizers, are not accounted for in this metric.

(In thousands) | ||||||||||||||||
Revenues | 204,399 | 943,889 | (739,490 | ) | (78.3 | )% | ||||||||||
Revenues decreased by $739.5 million, or 78.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $614.3 million related to a decrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) a decrease of $78.4 million related to the lower number of batteries for PV applications sold, primarily in Europe; and (iii) a decrease of $22.8 million in revenues generated from e-mobility components, related to the discontinuation of the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity. The overall decrease in revenues was due to the decline in demand that began in the third quarter of 2023. This decline was the result of high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates beginning in the third quarter of 2023, leading to substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog, from our distributors, which continued into the first quarter of 2024.

Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 68.1% of our revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 72.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The number of power optimizers recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 5.5 million units, or 83.7%, from approximately 6.5 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately 1.1 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The number of inverters recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 270 thousand units, or 81.2%, from approximately 332 thousand units in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately 62.3 thousand units in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The megawatts hour of batteries for PV applications recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 122.7 megawatts hour, or 56.8% from approximately 216.1 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately 93.4 megawatts hour in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of lower demand.
Our blended Average Selling Price (“ASP”) per watt for solar products excluding batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing the solar revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of batteries for PV applications, by the nameplate capacity of inverters shipped. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products decreased by $0.049, or 22%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to price reduction across our product offerings, a relatively lower number of power optimizers and other solar products shipped compared to the number of inverters shipped, leading to an overall reduction in our ASP per watt as well as due to an increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized by lower ASP per watt, out of our total solar product mix. This decrease in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by 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.
Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing batteries for PV applications revenues, by the nameplate capacity of batteries for PV applications shipped. Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications decreased by $0.092, or 19.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt/hour is mainly attributed to price reduction of our batteries for PV applications. This decrease in ASP per watt/hour was partially offset by an increase in the sale of our one-phase battery that is sold at a higher ASP per watt/hour.

Segment analysis
Following the discontinuation of the Critical Power segment in June 2022, we operated in four different operating segments: Solar, Energy Storage, e-Mobility and Automation Machines. In October 2023, we decided to discontinue our LCV e-Mobility activity and the remaining e-Mobility activity is included under the solar segment starting January 1, 2024. We have identified two operating segments as reportable – the Solar and the Energy Storage segments. The other operating segments are insignificant individually, and therefore, their results are presented together under “All other.”
We do not allocate our 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 (loss) is comprised of gross profit (loss) for the segment less operating expenses excluding amortization and impairment of purchased intangible assets, stock based compensation expenses, restructuring charges, discontinued activity charges, impairment of property, plant and equipment and certain other items (which are reported under "Not allocated to segments").

Solar
Solar revenues decreased by $718.4 million, or 79.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to (i) a decrease of $614.3 million related to a decrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) a decrease of $78.4 million related to the number of batteries for PV applications sold primarily in Europe; (iii) a decrease of $30.1 million in the amount of ancillary solar products sold. As discussed above, this decrease in revenues was due to high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates beginning in the third quarter of 2023, leading to substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our distributors.
Solar operating loss was $110.4 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to profit of $206.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. This was due to the decrease in revenue of $718.4 million followed by a lesser decrease of $393.3 million in cost of revenues, mainly attributed to fixed and other production related costs. This was partially offset by a decrease of $8.0 million in operating expenses as a result of our workforce reduction plan designed to reduce operating expenses and align our cost structure to current market dynamics.
Energy Storage
Energy Storage revenues increased by $1.5 million, or 16.2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Energy Storage operating loss decreased by $6.3 million, or 34.3%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to an increase in revenues followed by a decrease of $1.8 million in cost of revenues and a decrease of $3.1 million in operating expenses primarily due to a decrease in the doubtful debt expenses.
All other
All other segments revenues decreased by $22.6 million, or 86.8%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the discontinuation of the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity.
All other segments operating profit was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to operating loss of $4.4 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2023. This improvement was mainly due to the discontinuation of our LCV e-Mobility activity.
Not allocated to segments
There were no significant changes in revenues not allocated to segments in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Expenses, net, not allocated to segments increased by $11.6 million, or 29.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to an increase in costs related to the Restructuring Plan as well as an increase in impairment of property, plant, and equipment, all of which are not assessed by our CODM and therefore not allocated to any of the segments above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the stated periods:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
(In thousands) | ||||||||
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (217,019 | ) | $ | 7,923 | |||
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | 149,008 | (67,780 | ) | |||||
Net cash used in financing activities | (50,987 | ) | (5,222 | ) | ||||
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (118,998 | ) | $ | (65,079 | ) | ||
As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $214.2 million. This amount does not include $734.6 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $1.1 million invested in restricted bank deposits. Our principal uses of cash are for funding our operations, capital expenditures, other working capital requirements, other investments and any potential future share repurchases. As of March 31, 2024, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $33.0 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 $484.3 million related to raw materials and commitments for the future manufacturing of our products.
We believe 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 consist primarily of net income (loss), adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash used in operating activities was $217.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $7.9 million cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items generated in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to net income adjusted for certain non-cash items in the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was partially offset by lower operating working capital requirements.
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 and disbursements and receipts from collections of loans made by the Company. Cash provided by investing activities was $149 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $67.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase of $308 million in proceeds provided by sales and maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities and a decrease of $12 million in purchase of property plant and equipment. This was partially offset by an increase of $90.2 million in investments in available-for-sale marketable securities, a $5.8 million increase in disbursements of loans made by the Company and a $3.3 million increase in cash used in purchase of privately-held companies.
16
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consisted primarily of repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program, proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in a public offering and employee equity incentive plans. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $45.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a $50.0 million increase in cash used in share repurchases and on account of share repurchases, and a $8 million decrease in proceeds provided by the exercise of stock-based awards. This was partially offset by a decrease of $12.0 million in withholding taxes remitted to the tax authorities related to the exercise of stock-based awards.
Share Repurchases
On November 1, 2023, we announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the share repurchase program, repurchases can be made using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs and/or a non-discretionary trading plan or other means, including through 10b5-1 trading plans, all in compliance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any common share repurchases under the share repurchase program are determined by the Company in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The program does not obligate SolarEdge to acquire any amount of common stock, it may be suspended, extended, modified, discontinued or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and will expire on December 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 505,896 shares of common stock from the open market at an average cost of $65.67 per share for a total of $33.2 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates
Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, except as mentioned in Note 1, “General” (if any).
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, interest rates and commodity prices. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Approximately 54.4% and 23.5% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, 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 $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. 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 $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
17
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, from time to time we enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly forward contracts to sell Euro and AUD for U.S. dollars. 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, 2024, three major customers jointly accounted for approximately 36.9% of our consolidated trade receivables, net balance. As of December 31, 2023, three major customers jointly accounted for approximately 46.8% of our consolidated trade receivables, net balance. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, no major customers contributed more than 10% of our total revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, two major customers jointly accounted for approximately 21.9% of our total revenues.
Commodity Price Risk
We are subject to risk from fluctuating market prices of certain commodity raw materials which are used in our products, including Copper, Lithium, Nickel and Cobalt. 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.
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, 2024. 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, as of March 31, 2024, 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 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
18
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 Note 16 – “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” and Note 22 -- “Subsequent Events” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report and in Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023. 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, 2023. Except as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Disruption to our business operations as a result of war and hostilities in Israel and other conditions in Israel that affect our operations may limit our ability to develop, produce and sell our products.
Our headquarters and research and development center are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel directly affect us. Israel has been and is currently involved in a number of armed conflicts, including recent escalation of the conflict with Iran, and is the target of terrorist activity, including threats from Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, Iranian militia in Syria, and others. The state of hostility disrupts day-to-day civilian activity and negatively affects our business conditions.
Violence between Hamas and Israel started on October 7th when the terrorist group launched an unprecedented attack on Israel. On October 8, 2023 the Israeli Government declared that the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel approved a war situation in Israel. Since our headquarters and most of our employees operate from Israel, the state of war has disrupted and is continuing to disrupt our business operations. This situation has impacted the availability of our workforce, as approximately 11% of our workforce in Israel, where we are headquartered, have been called into active reserve duty. Several of our employees who reside close to the southern or northern boarders of Israel have been forced to evacuate their homes and have relocated to temporary housing. Since the education system is partially operating, many of our employees with small children are working from home. Due to the recency of these events, and their ongoing and evolving nature, the extent of the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown. While our offices and facilities are open worldwide, including in Israel, and, to date, we have not had disruptions to our ability to manufacture and deliver products and services to customers a prolonged war or an escalation of the current conditions in Israel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In addition, any future armed conflict, political instability or violence in the region may impede our ability to manage our business effectively, operate our manufacturing plant in northern Israel, engage in research and development, or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations. In the event of escalation of the current war situation or others, we may be forced to cease operations, which may cause delays in the distribution and sale of our products. Some of our directors, executive officers, and employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israeli military and are subject to being called for additional active duty under emergency circumstances. In the event that our principal executive office is damaged as a result of hostile action, or hostilities otherwise disrupt the ongoing operation of our offices, our ability to operate could be materially adversely affected.
19
Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although according to the Israeli Property Tax and Compensation Fund Regulation (Compensation Payment) (War Damage and Indirect Damage), 1973 the Israeli government should compensate physical loss or damage to the said property due to War or Terror risks on actual values, we cannot assure you that such government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our full potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Additionally, several countries principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israeli companies, and additional countries and groups may impose similar restrictions if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continue or increase. If instability in neighboring states results in the establishment of fundamentalist Islamic regimes or governments more hostile to Israel, or if Egypt or Jordan abrogates its respective peace treaty with Israel, Israel could be subject to additional political, economic, and military confines, and our operations and ability to sell our products to countries in the region could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods and cooperation with Israeli-related entities based on Israel’s military operations in Gaza and Israeli government policies. Any current or future hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, or significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In that regard, since the start of the war on Hamas, we have become aware of pressure being placed on our customers not to engage in business with us due to our affiliation with Israel. In addition, foreign policy could be negatively impacted with regard to Israel. If these pressures intensify or continue to occur, they could impact our business with suppliers and customers which could in turn adversely impact our reputation, results of operations or financial condition.
Additionally, in 2023, the Israeli government announced plans to significantly reduce the Israeli Supreme Court's judicial oversight, including reducing its ability to strike down legislation that it deems unreasonable, and plans to increase political influence over the selection of judges.. Although the Israeli Supreme Court partially struck down these plans, the current government has vowed to make other changes to law that limit the powers of the Supreme Court. If such government plans are eventually enacted, they may cause operational challenges for us since we are headquartered in Israel and many of our employees are located in Israel.
Political uncertainty may have an adverse impact on our business.
As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we are subject to various legal, compliance and regulatory risks, including with respect to the availability of economic incentives in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Elections in various countries, including the United States and throughout Europe, may further exacerbate these risks. The lead up to these elections and their outcomes could result in sharp shifts in domestic, economic, and foreign policy approaches or significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, legislation and regulation directly affecting us and our business, including tax incentives for the solar industry. Actions taken by new administrations may have an adverse effect on our industry and business, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth.
