NOTE 1:-

GENERAL

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) and (iii) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters of a solar PV system to enable customers and system owners as applicable, to monitor and manage the solar PV systems. In addition, the Company has a storage solution that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners by utilizing a battery that is sold separately by third party manufacturers, to store and supply power as needed (the “StorEdge solution”). The StorEdge solution is designed to provide smart energy functions such as maximizing self-consumption, Time-of-Use programming for desired hours of the day, and home energy backup solutions.

The Company and its subsidiaries sell their products worldwide directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”), as well as through large distributors and electrical equipment wholesalers to smaller solar installers.

New accounting pronouncements not yet effective:

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases." Topic 842 supersedes the lease requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840, "Leases." Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. As currently issued, entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. There are additional optional practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply. The Company is in the process of implementing changes to its systems and processes in conjunction with the review of lease agreements. The Company will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and expect to elect certain available transitional practical expedients. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". ASU 2017-04 was issued to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting". ASU 2018-07 was issued to simplify several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.

The Company will adopt the new standard effective July 1, 2018, and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1:-

GENERAL (Cont.)

Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of modification: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the new standard, effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not substantially completed as of the adoption date. See “Revenue Recognition” below for further details.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this new guidance had no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), effective on January 1, 2018. As a result of this adoption, the Company revised its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.

The Company and its subsidiaries generate their revenues mainly from the sale of power optimizers, inverters and cloud-based monitoring services to distributors, installers and PV module manufacturers.

The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle that transfer of control to the Company’s customers should be depicted in an amount reflecting the consideration the Company expects to receive in revenue. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

(1)

Identify the contract with a customer

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. In evaluating the contract, the Company analyzes the customer’s intent and ability to pay the amount of promised consideration (credit risk) and considers the probability of collecting substantially all of the consideration.

NOTE 1:-

GENERAL (Cont.)

The Company determines whether collectability is reasonably assured on a customer-by-customer basis pursuant to its credit review policy. The Company typically sells to customers with whom it has a long-term business relationship and a history of successful collection. For a new customer, or when an existing customer substantially expands its commitments, the Company evaluates the customer’s financial position, the number of years the customer has been in business, the history of collection with the customer, and the Customer’s ability to pay, and typically assigns a credit limit based on that review.

(2)

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

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

The main performance obligations are the provisions of the following:

Power optimizers; Inverters; Storage solution; Cloud based monitoring services; Extended warranty services and Communication services.

(3)

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Generally, the Company does not provide price protection, stock rotation, and/or right of return. The Company determines the transaction price for all satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations identified in the contract from contract inception to the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Rebates or discounts on goods or services are accounted for as variable consideration. The rebate or discount program is applied retrospectively for future purchases. Provisions for rebates, sales incentives, and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded.

When a contract provides a customer with payment terms of more than a year, the Company considers whether those terms create variability in the transaction price and whether a significant financing component exists.

The performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year are those that include a financial component: (i) warranty extension services, (ii) cloud-based monitoring, and (iii) communication services.

(4)

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

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

(5)

Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied

Revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. Control either transfers over time or at a point in time, which affects when revenue is recorded.

Revenues from sales of products are recognized when control is transferred (based on the agreed International Commercial terms, or “INCOTERMS”). Revenues related to warranty extension services, cloud-based monitoring, and communication services are recognized over time on a straight-line basis.

Deferred revenues consist of deferred cloud-based monitoring services, communication services, warranty extension services and advance payments received from customers for the Company’s products. Deferred revenues are classified as short-term and long-term deferred revenues based on the period in which revenues are expected to be recognized.

The most significant impact of the standard on the Company’s financial statements relates to advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year. Applying the new standard, such performance obligations are those that include a financing component, specifically: (i) warranty extension services, (ii) cloud-based monitoring, and (iii) communication services.

The Company recognizes financing component expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of income in relation to advance payments for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year. These financing component expenses are reflected in the Company’s deferred revenues balance.

The effect of the changes made to the consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheets following the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers were as follows:

	Balance as of December 31, 2017		Adjustments due following adoption of ASC 606			Balance as of January 1, 2018

Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures in footnotes that it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating 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, 2017, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (see Note 1c).

The Company depends on three 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.

These vendors collectively accounted for 58.3% and 51.6% of the Company’s total trade payables as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Company has the right to offset its payables to one of its contract manufacturers against vendor non-trade receivables. As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), a total of $2,574 of these receivables met the criteria for net recognition and were offset against the corresponding accounts payable balances for this contract manufacturer in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative financial instruments:

To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary and lease payments of its Israeli facilities denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedged portions of the anticipated payroll and lease payments denominated in NIS for a period of one to twelve months with hedging contracts. Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the hedging contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by gains in the fair value of the hedging contracts. These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.

In addition to the above-mentioned cash flow hedges transactions, the Company also entered into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815, and therefore all gains and losses, resulting from fair value remeasurement, were recorded immediately in the statement of operations, as financial income (expenses).

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

A three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1-

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

Level 2-

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

Level 3-

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) by level within the fair value hierarchy:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Cont.)

In addition to the assets described above, the Company’s financial instruments also include cash and cash equivalents, restricted and short-term deposits, trade receivables, other accounts receivable, trade payables, accrued expenses and other payables. The fair value of these financial instruments was not materially different from their carrying values on June 30, 2018 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Guarantees:

As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), contingent liabilities exist regarding guarantees in the amount of $1,389, $55, $176 and $342 in respect of office rent lease agreements, customs transactions, credit card limits and securing projects with customers, respectively.

Contractual purchase obligations:

The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods and raw materials. These contractual purchase obligations relate to inventories held by contract manufacturers and purchase orders initiated by the contract manufacturers and suppliers, which cannot be canceled without penalty. The Company utilizes third parties to manufacture its products. In addition, it acquires raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on its projected demand and manufacturing needs.

As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company had non-cancelable purchase obligations totaling approximately $321,135 out of which the Company already recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $2,393.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $35,810. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s manufacturing.

Legal claims:

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

In June 2018, the Company was served with a complaint from a trustee of a former customer that filed for bankruptcy in the US. The lawsuit seeks to recover approximately $2,481 based on theories of preferential and fraudulent transfers. The company believes it has valid defenses to the claims in this lawsuit and does not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to have a material adverse effect on its Balance Sheets, Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

Stock Incentive plans:

The Company’s 2007 Global Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors on August 30, 2007. On March 31, 2015, once the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), the 2007 Plan has been terminated and no further awards will be granted thereunder. All outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms and 379,358 available options for future grant were transferred to the Company’s 2015 Global Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and are reserved for future issuances under the 2015 plan.

The 2015 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of options, RSUs and other share-based awards to directors, employees, officers and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), a total of 8,080,717 (unaudited) shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan (the “Share Reserve”).

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 five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that our board of directors may provide 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 five percent (5%) of the shares of capital stock outstanding on the preceding December 31st.

The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options is ten million (10,000,000).

As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), an aggregate of 3,611,297 shares of common stock are still available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

The ESPP is implemented through an offering every six months. According to the ESPP, eligible employees may use up to 10% of their salaries to purchase common stock shares up to an aggregate limit of $10 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.

As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), 323,342 common stock shares had been purchased under the ESPP.

As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), 1,415,938 common stock shares were available for future issuance under the ESPP.

In accordance with ASC No. 718, the ESPP is compensatory and as such results in recognition of compensation cost.

Net deferred tax assets	$	11,551	$	8,340

Uncertain tax positions:

As of June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a total liability for uncertain tax positions in an immaterial amount.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") was signed into law making significant changes to U.S. income tax law. These changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings (the “E&P”) as of December 31, 2017.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company calculated its best estimate of the impact of the TCJA in its year end income tax provision in accordance with its understanding of the TCJA and guidance available as of the date of this filing and as a result recorded $19.2 million as an additional income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017, the period in which the legislation was enacted.

The provisional amount related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future was $0.5 million. The provisional amount related to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was $18.7 million based on cumulative foreign earnings of $145 million. An additional provisional charge of $0.8 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2018 as a result of IRS guidance issued in January.

Additionally, the TCJA requires certain Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) to be included in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. GAAP allows the Company to either: (i) treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”); or (ii) factor such amounts into its measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Effective the first quarter of 2018, the Company elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost, as we are not projecting any material impact from GILTI inclusions and any deferred taxes related to any inclusion would be immaterial.

NOTE 8:- INCOME TAXES (Cont.)

The Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of the GILTI income tax provision in accordance with its understanding of the TCJA and guidance available as of the date of this filing, and as a result has recorded $3.9 million as an additional income tax expense for the six month ended June 30, 2018.

The final impact of the U.S. tax reform may differ, possibly materially, due to factors such as changes in interpretations and assumptions that the Company has made in its assessment, conclusion of the effects of the GILTI provisions, further refinement of the Company’s calculations, and additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. government.

As these various factors are finalized, any change will be recorded as an adjustment to the provision for, or benefit from, income taxes in the period in which the amounts are determined, not to exceed 12 months from the date of enactment of the TCJA. The Company has not completed its assessment and the tax charge remains provisional as of June 30, 2018.

Overview

We have invented an intelligent inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar PV system. Our direct current (“DC”) optimized inverter system is designed to maximize power generation at the individual PV module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. Supporting increased PV proliferation, the SolarEdge system consists of power optimizers, inverters, communication and smart energy management solutions, and a cloud-based monitoring platform. SolarEdge’s solutions addresses a broad range of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations. We believe that these benefits, along with our comprehensive and advanced safety features, are highly valued by our customers.

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $227.1 million and $136.1 million, respectively. Gross margin was 36.1% and 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net income was $34.6 million and $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $437.0 million and $251.2 million, respectively. Gross margin was 37.0% and 34.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net income was $70.3 million and $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018, we have shipped approximately 27.9 million power optimizers and 1,163,900 inverters. Approximately 680,000 installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud‑based monitoring platform. As of June 30, 2018, we have shipped approximately 8.5 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems. Our products are sold in approximately 50 countries, and are installed in solar PV systems in 133 countries.

On July 1, 2018, we closed a previously-announced asset purchase from Gamatronic Electronics Ltd. (“Gamatronic”), a company that develops, manufactures and sells Uninterruptible Power Supply systems, also known as UPSs. We purchased substantially all of Gamatronic’s assets, including its intellectual property, brand and tangible assets, for approximately $11.2 million and includes a two year earn out provision for 50% and 33% of the net income of the Gamatronic’s business in the first and second years following the closing, respectively.

Key Operating Metrics

In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements with other operating metrics. These operating metrics are utilized by our management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and formulate projections. We use metrics relating to shipments (inverters shipped, power optimizers shipped and megawatts shipped) to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products. We use metrics relating to monitoring (systems monitored) to evaluate market acceptance of our products and usage of our solution.

We provide the “megawatts shipped” metric, which is calculated based on nameplate capacity shipped, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues increase with each additional unit, not necessarily each additional MW of capacity, sold. Accordingly, we also provide the “inverters shipped” and “power optimizers shipped” operating metrics.

	2018		2017		Change
	(in thousands)
Revenues	$	227,118	$	136,099	$	91,019	66.9	%

Revenues increased by $91.0 million, or 66.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in the number of systems sold, with significant growth in revenues coming from US, Netherlands, Germany and Australia. Non-U.S. revenues comprised 47.8% of our revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 45.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The number of power optimizers sold increased by approximately 1.1 million units, or 63.6%, from approximately 1.7 million units in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to approximately 2.8 million units in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The number of inverters sold increased by approximately 41,000 units, or 57.2%, from approximately 72,000 units in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to approximately 113,000 units in the three months ended June 30, 2018. Overall, blended average selling price (“ASP”) per Watt decreased by 10.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017. This blended ASP erosion is attributed to several reasons the main being:

change in the mix of products towards higher portion of commercial products that are characterized with lower ASP per Watt in comparison to residential products;

price declines of our commercial products initiated by the compamy in order to increase market share in this segment;

the introduction of new commercial products with higher capacity which represent further lower ASP per watt;

weaker Euro against the US Dollar which is translated to lower USD ASP combined with growing proportion of our Euro denominated revenues; and

selective price decreases of our residential products.

The number of power optimizers sold increased by approximately 2.0 million units, or 63.9%, from approximately 3.2 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to approximately 5.2 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The number of inverters sold increased by approximately 82,000 units, or 63.3%, from approximately 130,000 units in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to approximately 212,000 units in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our blended ASP per watt for units shipped decreased by $0.009, or 3.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This blended ASP per Watt erosion is mainly attributed to the following items:

change in the mix of products towards higher portion of commercial products that are characterized with lower ASP per Watt in comparison to residential product;

price declines of our commercial products initiated by the compamy in order to increase market share in this segment;

the introduction of new commercial products with higher capacity which represent further lower ASP per watt;

weaker Euro against the US Dollar which is translated to lower USD ASP combined with growing proportion of our Euro denominated revenues; and

selective price decreases of our residential products.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

Gross profit	$	161,543	$	85,742	$	75,801	88.4	%

Cost of revenues increased by $110.0 million, or 66.5%, in the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to:

an increase in the volume of products sold;

increased warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $14.6 million associated primarily with the rapid increase in our install base;

increased shipment and logistical costs of $10.7 million attributed, in part, to the growth in volumes shipped, and to an increase in air shipments caused by power component shortages; and

increased personnel-related costs of $5.8 million related to the expansion of our operations and support headcount which is growing in parallel to our growing install base worldwide.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from 34.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 37.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to:

reductions in per-unit production costs that exceeded price erosion of our products;

increased efficiency in our supply chain; and

general economies of scale in our personnel-related costs and other costs associated with our support and operations departments.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 35.8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to:

an increase in personnel-related costs of $1.9 million related to (i) higher headcount in the legal, finance, human resources, and information technology department, functions required of a fast-growing public company and (ii) changes in management compensation and increased expenses related to equity-based compensation, resulting from the impact of the increase in our stock price affecting the fair value of any share award;

expenses related to external consultants and sub-contractors expenses increased by $1.0 million, partially due to legal proceedings initiated by us during the second quarter of 2018;

expenses related to other overhead costs which increased by $0.4 million; and

expenses related to depriciation and travel which increased by $0.4 million.

These increases were offset by costs related to doubtful debts which decreased by $0.9 million.

Financial expenses were $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to financial income of $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due:

an increase of $7.8 million in foreign exchange fluctuations between the Euro and the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. Dollar;

an increase of $1.0 million in interest expenses related to advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year, as part of the new revenue recognition standard adoption; and

an increase of $0.2 million in other financial expenses and bank charges .

Taxes on income were $9.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to tax benefits of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to:

an increase of $5.2 million in current tax expenses in Israel triggered by the termination of the two year tax exemption in Israel which ends in 2018;

a provision of $4.0 million for Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) and an adjustment of $0.8 million related to transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017;

an increase of $0.3 million in current tax expenses in other jurisdictions; and

a tax income related to the previous year’s tax credit of $0.5 million which was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table shows our cash flow from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the stated periods:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	43,891		$	31,563		$	107,870		$	57,163
Net cash used in investing activities		(61,688	)		(39,766	)		(63,949	)		(50,043	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		2,986			1,752			7,591			2,123
Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(14,811	)	$	(6,451	)	$	51,512		$	9,243

As of June 30, 2018, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $216.6 million. This amount does not include $221.0 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities. We believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $107.9 million, derived mainly from a net income of $70.3 million that included $17.1 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $18.5 million in warranty obligations, $18.2 million in trade payables, net and other accounts payable, $13.1 million of deferred revenues and $1.0 million in accruals for employees, which were offset by an increase of $19.0 million in inventories, $9.2 million in trade receivables, net, and and $2.1 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $57.2 million, derived mainly from a net income of $36.7 million, $9.5 million of non-cash expenses, a decrease of $11.2 million in inventories and an increase of $7.0 million in warranty obligations, $6.9 million of deferred revenues, $5.8 million in trade payables, net and other accounts payable and $1.2 million in accruals for employees. The cash from operating activities was offset by an increase of $12.7 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables and $8.4 million in trade receivables, net.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $64.0 million, of which $89.4 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $21.4 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements. This was offset by $46.8 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $50.0 million, of which $74.1 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $7.6 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements. This was offset by $31.7 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.6 million, all attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.1 million, all attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

Debt Obligations

We do not have any outstanding indebtedness.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, customer concentrations, and interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Approximately 40.8% and 36.8% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 and New Israeli Shekel, and to a lesser extent, the Euro. Our New Israeli Shekel‑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 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2018, between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

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 a portion of our account receivable balances denominated in Euros expected to be paid within nine months. Our foreign currency forward contracts are expected to mitigate exchange rate changes related to the hedged assets.

On June 30, 2018, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $216.6 million and available-for-sale marketable securities with an estimated fair value of $221.0 million, which securities were held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Since most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. Dollar‑denominated money market funds, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents do not have any material exposure to changes in exchange rates.

Concentrations of Major Customers

Our trade accounts receivables potentially expose us to a concentration of credit risk with our major customers. As of June 30, 2018, one major customers accounted for approximately 18.3% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. We currently do not foresee a credit risk associated with these receivables.

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 the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Following adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018, we implemented changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the related control activities. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of this new standard.

Based on an evaluation by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, such officers concluded that 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 our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 2018, we filed a lawsuit for patent infringement against Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity, Huawei Technologies Düsseldorf GmbH, a German entity, and WATTKRAFT Solar GmbH, a German distributor for Huawei. The lawsuit, filed in the Regional Court of Mannheim in Germany, asserts unauthorized use of patented technology, and is intended to protect SolarEdge’s significant investment in its innovative DC optimized inverter technology. Seeking monetary damages, an injunction, and recall of infringing Huawei inverters from the German market, the lawsuit is intended to prevent the defendants from selling any multi-level inverters infringing upon SolarEdge’s PV inverter technology protected in the asserted patent in Germany. In July 2018, we announced the extension of this lawsuit to two additional SolarEdge patents covering its power optimizer technology.

In June 2018 we were served with a complaint from a trustee of a former customer that filed for bankruptcy in the US. The lawsuit seeks to recover approximately $2.5 million based on theories of preferential and fraudulent transfers. We believe that we have valid defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint and we do not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to have a material adverse effect on our Balance Sheets, Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

In addition, as part of 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). 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

There have been no material changes to 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, 2017 other than the supplemental risk factor disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2018 and the risk factors added below.

Changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the recent imposition of import tariffs, could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows.

The U.S. government recently proposed new or higher tariffs on specified imported products originating from China in response to what it characterizes as unfair trade practices, and China has responded by proposing new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. In January 2018, a tariff on imported solar modules and cells was adopted in the United States. The tariff, which tariff does not apply directly to our products, except possibly with respect to power optimizers that are embedded onto solar panels in China, was initially set at 30%, with a gradual reduction over four years to 15%. In addition, in July 2018, a 10% tariff on a long list of products imported from China, including inverters and power optimizers was adopted in the United States under Section 301 under the Trade Act of 1974 and is scheduled to go into effect October 1, 2018. We cannot assure you as to whether additional tariffs will be imposed in the future.

Tariffs on components that we import from China or other nations that have imposed, or may in the future impose, tariffs will cause our expenses to increase, which will adversely affect our profitability unless we are able to exclude our products from the tariffs or we raise prices for our products, which may result in our products becoming less attractive relative to products offered by our competitors. These tariffs and the possibility of additional tariffs in the future have created uncertainty in the industry concerning whether they will cause a material increase in the price of solar systems in the United States. If the price of solar systems in the United States increases, the use of solar would become less economically feasible and would likely reduce the number of solar systems manufactured and sold, which in turn may decrease demand for our products. Such outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, 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.

We may not succeed in our strategy of pursuing or integrating selective acquisitions.

Part of our business strategy includes acquiring and integrating complementary businesses. However, we may not be able to locate or acquire suitable acquisition candidates consistent with this strategy. Negotiating or completing any such planned acquisitions may be complex, time consuming and expensive. In addition, if an acquisition is consummated, the integration of the acquired businesses, products or other assets into our company may be complex and time-consuming and, if such acquisitions are not successfully integrated, we may not achieve anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities. These acquisitions and other arrangements also may fail to further our business strategy as anticipated, expose us to increased challenges with respect to our products or geographic markets, or expose us to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business. Any one of these challenges or risks could impair our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions after we have expended resources on them.
