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 of a solar PV system 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), (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 applicable solar PV system and (iv) 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 Company and its subsidiaries sell their intelligent inverter solution products worldwide through large distributors and electrical equipment wholesalers to smaller solar installers as, well as directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement and construction firms (“EPCs”).

The Company has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology through acquisitions. The Company now offers energy solutions which include lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage systems (“Energy Storage”), electric vehicle, or EV components and charging capabilities (“e-Mobility”), uninterrupted power supply solutions (“UPS”), as well as the manufacture of automated machines for industries (“Automation Machines”).

b.Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Among other potential impacts, this change is expected to reduce reported interest expense, increase reported net income, and result in a reclassification of certain conversion feature balance sheet amounts from stockholders’ equity to liabilities as it relates to the Company’s convertible senior notes. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (EPS), which is consistent with the Company’s accounting treatment under the current standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the timing, method of adoption and overall impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

c.Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2020. This standard requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings and report credit losses using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that was previously used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities with unrealized losses, the standard eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairments and requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment.

This standard limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for AFS debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases.

The Company adopted Topic 326 effective January 1, 2020, based on the composition of the Company’s trade receivables, investment portfolio and other financial assets, current economic conditions and historical credit loss activity. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are presented under the new standard, while comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy (see Note 7).

d.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, 2019, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging (see Note 6), the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (see Note 7) and ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (see Note 8).

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. These two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 47.4% and 42.3% of the Company’s trade payables as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

In September 2020 the Company has commenced the production ramp up of its manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”. The Company expects ramp up to continue until the second quarter of 2021.

f.Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures in the accompanying notes.

The duration, scope and effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, government and other third party responses to it, and the related macroeconomic effects, including to the Company’s business and the business of the Company’s suppliers and customers are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to this evolving situation. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets, inventories, incremental credit losses on receivables and AFS debt securities, or an increase in the Company’s insurance liabilities as of the time of a relevant measurement event.

g.Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 5:-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 6:-DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging based on ASC 815 (“Derivatives and Hedging”). ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship.

To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program whereby portions of the anticipated payroll denominated in NIS for a period of one to six months with hedging contracts.

Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the NIS, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the hedging contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by gains in the fair value of the hedging contracts. These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges.

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

As of September 30, 2020, the Company entered into forward contracts to sell Australian dollars (“AUD”) for U.S. dollars in the amount of AUD 7.5 million.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company entered into put and call options to sell Euro ("EUR") for U.S. dollars in the amount of EUR 45 million.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company entered into put and call options to sell U.S. dollars for South Korean Won in the amount of USD 48.6 million.

The fair value of derivative assets as of September 30, 2020, was $780, which was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2020, was $1,119, which was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2019 and for the year then ended, the Company had no derivative instruments (see Note 5).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss in the amount of $1,450 and $959, respectively, in “financial income, net” related to the derivative assets not designated as hedging instruments.

NOTE 7:-CREDIT LOSSES

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, prospectively. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The amendment requires entities to consider forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses, resulting in earlier recognition of losses for receivables that are current or not yet due, which were not considered under the previous accounting guidance. As stated above, the Company did not record a noncash cumulative effect adjustment on the opening consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020, due to immateriality.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the status of customers' trade accounts receivables.

Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of customers and the Company’s historical experience with similar customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted as of September 30, 2020. Estimates are used to determine the allowance. The allowance is based on assessment of anticipated payment and other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of trade receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected:

NOTE 8:-CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On September 25, 2020, the Company sold $632,500 aggregate principal amount of its 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold pursuant to an indenture, dated September 25, 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes do not bear regular interest and mature on September 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Holders may convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2025 in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of that five consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the Indenture. In addition, holders may convert their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time beginning on or after June 15, 2025, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances.

The initial conversion rate for the Notes was 3.5997 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $277.80 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. If certain fundamental changes referred to as make-whole fundamental changes occur, the conversion rate for the Notes may be increased.

The Company accounts for its Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options". The Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments. The liability component at issuance is recognized at fair value, based on the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. The equity component is based on the excess of the principal amount of the debentures over the fair value of the liability component, after adjusting for an allocation of debt issuance costs, and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. Debt discount is amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the debt using the effective interest rate method. In accounting for the issuance costs related to the Notes, the issuance costs incurred were allocated between the liability and equity components based on their relative values.

The Company’s Notes are included in the calculation of diluted EPS if the assumed conversion into common shares is dilutive, using the “if-converted” method. This involves adding back the periodic interest expense net of tax associated with the Notes to the numerator and by adding the shares that would be issued in an assumed conversion (regardless of whether the conversion option is in or out of the money) to the denominator for the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, unless the Notes are antidilutive (See Note 11).

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had non-cancellable purchase obligations totaling approximately $326,661 out of which the Company already recorded a provision for loss in the amount of $3,118.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had off-balance sheet contractual obligations for capital expenditures totaling approximately $114,526. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to the Company’s manufacturing.

c.Legal claims:

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings. The Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss.

These accruals are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

In September 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG (“SMA”). The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleges that SolarEdge's 12.5kW - 27.6kW inverters infringe two of the plaintiff’s patents. In its complaint, SMA requests inter alia an injunction and a determination for a claim for damages for sales in Germany. Plaintiff also asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5 million (approximately $6,450) for both patents. The Company challenged the validity of both patents. With respect to one of the claims, in October 2020, the German Patent Court rendered the SMA patent invalid. With respect to the other claim, in November 2019, the first instance court stayed the infringement proceedings since it considered it to be highly likely that the second SMA patent would also be rendered invalid. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against the remaining lawsuit.

NOTE 9:-COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Cont.)

In May 2019, the Company was served with three lawsuits by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity (“Huawei”), against the Company's two Chinese subsidiaries and its equipment manufacturer in China. The lawsuits, filed in the Guangzhou intellectual property court, allege infringement of three patents and ask for an injunction of manufacture, use, sale and offer for sale, and damage awards of Chinese yuan (“CNY”) 30 million (approximately $4,250). A first-instance judgment was issued on August 7, 2020 ordering the Company to pay damages in the amount of approximately CNY 10.5 million (approximately $1,550), including court fees, with respect of one of the patents, which was recorded in general and administrative expenses. The Company has filed an appeal with the Supreme People’s Court of China. Following the receipt of the lawsuits, the Company filed three lawsuits in China against Huawei for unauthorized use of patented technology of the Company. These lawsuits are still in process and judgements have not been rendered. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Huawei and the judgement of the first instance court and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

In August 2019, the Company was served with a lawsuit by certain former shareholders of S.M.R.E S.p.A (“SMRE”), against its Italian subsidiary that purchased the shares of SMRE in the tender offer which followed the SMRE Acquisition. The shareholders who tendered their shares are asking for the difference between EUR 6 per share, which is the amount they tendered their shares, and EUR 6.77 per share, for a total award of EUR 2.7 million (approximately $3,150). The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

In December 2019, the Company received a lawsuit filed by a former consultant of the Company and its Israeli subsidiary in the amount of NIS 25.5 million (approximately $7,400) claiming damages caused relating to a terminated consulting agreement and stock options therein. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

As of September 30, 2020, accrued amounts for legal claims of $1,709, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

NOTE 10:-STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Cont.)

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 nonemployees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 12,828,270 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 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 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 September 30, 2020, an aggregate of 8,627,031 shares of common stock are still available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

c.Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”):

The Company adopted an ESPP. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 2,687,451 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 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 September 30, 2020, 578,778 common stock shares had been purchased under the ESPP.

As of September 30, 2020, 2,108,673 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.

NOTE 11:-EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net earnings attributable to SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted net EPS is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, to the extent dilutive, including stock options, RSUs, PSUs, shares to be purchased under the Company’s ESPP, and the Notes due 2025, all in accordance with ASC No. 260, "Earnings Per Share."

No shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

334,096 and 304,725 shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 14:-SEGMENT INFORMATION

Following the completion of three acquisitions during 2018 and 2019, the Company has changed its segments measurement, beginning in 2019. The purpose of the new measurement is to provide the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) better information to assess segment performance and to make resource allocation decisions. The Company now operates in five different operating segments: Solar, Critical Power (formerly known as UPS), Energy Storage, e-Mobility and Automation Machines.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the CODM who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on the financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues and contributed profit by the operating segments.

Segment profit is comprised of gross profit for the segment less operating expenses that do not include amortization, stock based compensation expenses and certain other items.

The Company manages its assets on a group basis, not by segments, as many of its assets are shared or commingled. The Company’s CODM does not regularly review asset information by segments and, therefore, the Company does not report asset information by segment.

NOTE 14:-SEGMENT INFORMATION (cont.)

The Company identified one operating segment as reportable – the Solar segment. The other operating segments are insignificant individually and in the aggregate and therefore their results are presented together under “All other”.

The Solar segment includes the design, development, manufacture, and sales of an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual PV module level. The solution consists mainly of the Company’s power optimizers, inverters and cloud-based monitoring platform.

The “All other” category includes the design, development, manufacturing and sales of UPS products, energy storage products, e-Mobility products and automated machines. Intersegment sales are a source of revenue for one of the operating segments included in the “All other” category.

The Company accounts for intersegment sales as if the sales were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

Overview

We are a leading provider of an optimized inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic system, known as PV system. Our direct current or DC optimized inverter system maximizes power generation at the individual PV module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system, for improved return on investment, or RoI. Additional benefits of the DC optimized inverter system include comprehensive and advanced safety features, improved design flexibility, and improved operating and maintenance, or O&M with module-level and remote monitoring. The typical SolarEdge optimized inverter system consists of power optimizers, inverters, a communication device which enables access to a cloud based monitoring platform and in many cases, additional smart energy management solutions. SolarEdge’s solutions addresses a broad range of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations.

5


Since introducing the optimized inverter solution in 2010, SolarEdge has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology, both through organic growth and through acquisitions. SolarEdge now offers energy solutions which include not only residential, commercial and small utility scale PV systems but also product offerings in the areas of energy storage systems, or Energy Storage System or ESS and backup, electric vehicle, or EV components and charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants, lithium-ion batteries and uninterrupted power supply, known as UPS solutions.

As part of our non-organic growth, we have completed three acquisitions during 2018 and 2019, each of which address our growth in the area of smart energy technology and power optimization.

During 2019, we completed the acquisition of approximately 99.9% of SolarEdge Automation Machines SPA (“Automation Machines Division”) and SolarEdge eMobility SPA (“e-Mobility Division”) (formerly S.M.R.E Spa and I.E.T Spa, respectively). Our Automation Machines Division manufactures automated machinery for industries and our e-Mobility Division develops end-to-end e-Mobility solutions for electric and hybrid vehicles used in motorcycles and light commercial vehicles. These solutions include integrated, high-performing powertrains with e-motor, motor drive, gearbox, battery, BMS, chargers, vehicle control units and software for electric vehicles.

In September 2020 we commenced the production ramp up of our manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”. We expect ramp up to continue until the second quarter of 2021 when we expect Sella 1 to reach full manufacturing capabilities.

We are a leader in the global module-level power electronics (“MLPE”) market. As of September 30, 2020, we have shipped approximately 61.7 million power optimizers and 2.6 million inverters. Over 1.75 million installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud‑based monitoring platform. As of September 30, 2020, we have shipped approximately 21.0 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems.

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $338.1 million and $410.6 million, respectively. Gross margin was 32.0% and 33.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net income was $43.8 million and $41.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $1,101.2 million and $1,007.4 million, respectively. Gross margin was 31.9% and 33.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net income was $122.7 million and $93.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

COVID-19 Impact

We are continuously and closely monitoring the evolving impact of COVID-19 on our operations and business. Our first priority continues to be to protect and support our employees through this period while maintaining company operations and support of our customers with as few disruptions as possible. Given that we have employees in many countries world-wide, we follow the guidance issued by applicable local authorities and health officials in each region in which we do business including in our headquarters located in Israel and have been able to continue our operations remotely or from our offices. Continued travel restrictions however have had an impact on our operations, including, by way of example delays in third party testing and certification of new products. Our manufacturing facilities in Korea and Italy and our contract manufacturers facilities in China, Vietnam and Hungary have remained operational and at almost full capacity, with brief interruptions on a case by case basis in compliance with local laws. Our customer support centers are working at full capacity, primarily from home. Our operations and operating expenses have not been significantly impacted by these adjustments.

6


As disclosed last quarter, the actions taken around the world to slow the spread of COVID-19 have impacted the installation rate of PV systems which we are closely tracking through our monitoring portal globally and per country. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact on our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we saw and reported on a decline in installations in certain regions such as the United States and Italy beginning with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, 2020 and this had a negative impact on our revenues in the second and third quarters of 2020 when compared to the first quarter of 2020. In certain cases we accommodated customers in certain regions who requested to cancel or delay the supply of their orders.

As anticipated, our third quarter revenues of $338.1 million, a slight increase from reveues of $331.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflect strong installation rates in Europe and rest of world, and slower recovery in the United States. During the third quarter of 2020, many of our customers installed systems they had accumulated in inventory, resulting in lower quarterly revenues from our U.S.-based customers.

Our management and board are continuously examining our plans for 2020 and reacting to the current economic downturn, high unemployment rates in many countries and negative impact on businesses generally. As we reported in our Form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we have taken actions in order to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 on our business, operating results and financial condition. We have reviewed our business plan for 2020 and made certain adjustments in the second quarter of 2020 which remained in effect during the third quarter. These adjustments include substantial reduction of new hiring that were planned for the third quarter as well as elimination of redundant positions, which reductions were implemented in the past quarters. The impact of these reductions will be reflected in our 2020 year-end financial results. In addition, as we reported last quarter, we reviewed and cut back where possible on our spending and management of operations including a review of all of our variable, research and development projects and our executives and board members also voluntarily reduced their base salaries/compensation. These measures are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis and to date, remain in place.

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.

(17.6

Revenues decreased by $72.5 million, or 17.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to decreased sales in the U.S. which we attribute principally to the adverse effect of the COVID 19 pandemic on the economy in the United States. This decrease was partially offset by $18.5 million of increased sales in Europe and the rest of world. Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 68.4% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 51.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

In our solar business, we expect that in the fourth quarter of 2020, revenues from Europe will decrease due to seasonality which is typically experienced in Europe during the colder months. This reduction is expected to be offset by higher anticipated revenues in the United States which we expect will result in a slight increase in the overall revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2020. It is also expected that the fourth quarter results will include revenues from the sale of full powertrain kits to an automative OEM by our eMobility business which is part of our non-solar business.

The number of power optimizers recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 1.3 million units, or 28.3%, from approximately 4.6 million units in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to approximately 3.3 million units in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The number of inverters recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 30,800 units, or 16.5%, from approximately 187,000 units in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to approximately 156,200 units in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products shipped decreased by $0.049, or 18.5%, in the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. This reduction is primarily attributed to an increased rate of revenues driven from the sale of commercial products mainly in the U.S that are characterized with lower ASP per watt as well as a change in our customer mix in the United States towards larger customers that enjoy preferable pricing. This ASP erosion was partially offset by the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar.

Cost of revenues decreased by $41.2 million, or 15.2%, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to:

a decrease in the volume of products sold;

decreased shipment and logistics costs of $16.0 million mainly attributed to lower custom tariff charges on Chinese made products imported into the U.S resulting from a decrease in sales in the U.S and a higher portion of our products manufactured outside of China that were imported into the U.S. In addition, a decrease in air shipment costs resulted from higher inventory levels.

a decrease in warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $6.6 million associated with various cost reductions on the different elements of our warranty expenses which include the cost of the products, shipment and other related expenses;

9


These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $8.1 million in other production costs, which were mainly attributed to:

$1.3 million related to ramp up costs associated with the commencement of production in the Sella 1 manufacturing facility; and

$2.9 million related to ramp up manufacturing expenses in the SolarEdge e-Mobility division.

In our solar business we anticipate that our cost of revenues per unit will decrease in the last quarter of 2020 due to realization of cost reduction activities conducted in the previous quarters.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 33.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 to 32.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to:

a decrease in the volume of products sold;

increased rate of actual support costs related to our warranty obligations due to an increase in our install base from past sales which effects the calculation of such costs as a percentage of our revenues since our install base grew in 2020 while revenues decreased compared to the same quarter of 2019, resulting in a higher rate of warranty expenses to revenues.

an increase in other production costs and inventory valuation accruals as well as other expenses related to reduced manufacturing volumes due to COVID-19; and

lower gross profit from our e-Mobility and Automation Machines divisions, coupled with ramp up manufacturing expenses in our e-Mobility division.

These factors were partially offset by:

decreased shipment and logistics costs mainly attributed to lower custom tariff charges on Chinese made products imported into the U.S resulting from a decrease in sales in the U.S and a higher portion of our products manufactured outside of China that were imported into the U.S.

 

In addition, a decrease in air shipments costs resulted from higher inventory levels; and

decreased warranty accruals due to various cost reductions on the different elements of our warranty expenses which include the cost of the products, shipment and other related expenses and a change in the product mix sold in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in the previous year.

We expect that gross margin as a percent of revenues will remain similar in the fourth quarter of 2020 to that of the third quarter of 2020.

In light of the uncertain impact of COVID-19 on the rate of growth of our acquired businesses, accounting estimates and assumptions related to goodwill, intangible and other assets may change over time in response to uncertain circumstances related to this evolving situation. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangible and other assets.

The increase in headcount reflects our continuing investment in enhancements of existing products as well as research and development expenses associated with bringing new products to the market;

increased expenses related to consultants and sub‑contractors in an amount of $1.1 million;

We expect that our research and development expenses in the fourth quarter will remain relatively stable compared to the third quarter primarily due to cost reduction activities initiated in response to COVID-19 and the continued halt in travel and travel related expenses.

increased personnel-related costs of $1.3 million resulting from an increase in headcount supporting our growth in Europe and Asia, as well as salary expenses associated with employee equity-based compensation.

While we did provide payment extensions to certain customers, substantially all of these payments have now been made and we did not experience significant customer defaults on payments or incur substantial losses related to customer bankruptcies. We continue to be cautious in providing credit to our customers. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we may still incur customer defaults on payments and other bad debts as a result of the impact of the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 on our customers. If this occurs, these write-offs would be reflected in our general and administrative expenses in future fiscal quarters.

Revenues increased by $93.7 million, or 9.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to (i) an increase in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold, with growth in revenues coming from Europe and from the U.S., mainly during the first quarter of 2020; and (ii) price increases on products sold in the U.S. intended to offset the increase in imposed tariffs on China made products in June 2019. Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 56.4% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 56.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The number of power optimizers recognized as revenues increased by approximately 0.6 million units, or 5.2%, from approximately 11.2 million units in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to approximately 11.8 million units in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Cost of revenues increased by $78.8 million, or 11.7%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to:

an increase in the volume of products sold;

increased customs tariffs, shipment and logistics costs of $16.9 million attributed to the change in tariff rates on Chinese made products imported into the U.S. from 10% to 25% in June 2019 as well as an increase in shipment costs due to increased product demand mainly in the first quarter of 2020;

an increase in other production costs of $26.4 million, which is mainly attributed to: an accrual for possible raw material write offs resulting from our reduced manufacturing forecast (triggered by lower demand) which may result in rendering these raw materials obsolete as well as other expenses related to reduced manufacturing volumes due to COVID-19. In addition this amount includes $1.3 million related to ramp up costs associated with the commencement of production in the Sella 1 manufacturing facility and $2.9 million related to ramp up manufacturing expenses in our e-Mobility division; and

an increase in personnel-related costs of $7.5 million related to the expansion of our operations and support headcount which grew in parallel to our growing install base worldwide and in connection with entering into the machinery and integrated powertrain markets.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in warranty expenses and warranty accruals of $5.4 million associated with various cost reductions on the different elements of our warranty expenses which include the cost of the products, shipment and other related expenses;

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased from 33.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 31.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to:

an increase in other production costs;

increased shipment and logistics costs resulted from our growth and new customs tariff rules in the U.S.;

the arithmetic effect from the increase in selling prices in the U.S. intended to offset the increase in tariffs on Chinese made products imported into the U.S. from 10% to 25% in June 2019;

increased actual support costs related to our warranty obligations; and

lower gross profit from our e-Mobility and Automation Machines Divisions, coupled with ramp up manufacturing expenses in our e-Mobility division.

These were partially offset by:

increased profit on units sold due to cost reductions in the manufacturing process of these products; and

decreased warranty accruals due to various cost reductions on the different elements of our warranty expenses which include the cost of the products, shipment and other related expenses.

As of September 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $1,048.1 million. This amount does not include $131.6 million invested in available for sale marketable securities, $2.2 million invested in restricted bank deposits and $20.0 million invested in short-term bank deposits. Our principal uses of cash are funding our operations and other working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2020, we have open commitments for capital expenditures in an amount of approximately $114.5 million. These commitments reflect purchases of automated assembly lines and other machinery related to our manufacturing operations. We also have purchase obligations in the amount of $326.7 million related to raw materials and commitments for the future manufacturing of our products. We believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months including the self-funding of our capital expenditure commitments.

To the extent that revenues decrease over the coming quarters due to the economic downturn caused by COVID-19, we expect that our cash balances would also decrease. This will be compounded by our continued investment in research and development activities including the establishment of a lithium-ion factory in Korea which is continuing as planned and the support of our other non-solar businesses as they grow. We carefully oversee our cash resources and believe that our strong balance sheet positions us well to manage the coming quarters despite any temporary decline in revenues.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law. Section 2302 of the CARES Act provides that employers may defer the deposit and payment of the employer's portion of Social Security taxes imposed under section 3111(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. As permitted under the CARES Act, we deferred payment of social security taxes through the end of 2020 (with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining of 50% amount due December 31, 2022). This deferral is expected to provide approximately $1.2 million in additional liquidity during 2020.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $195.4 million, derived mainly from net income of $122.7 million that included $62.2 million of non-cash expenses, a decrease of $118.0 million in trade receivables and $37.9 million in prepaid expenses and other accounts receivable, an increase of $10.6 million in accrued expenses and other accounts payable, $23.2 million in warranty obligations, and $3.1 million accruals for employees. This was offset by a decrease of $24.3 million in deferred revenues, $35.5 million in trade payables, an increase of $122.0 million in inventories, and $0.5 million in operating lease liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $175.9 million, derived mainly from a net income of $92.6 million that included $54.5 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $49.6 million in warranty obligations, $39.6 million in accrued expenses and other accounts payable, $21.3 million in trade payables, $19.5 million of deferred revenues, $15.3 million in accruals for employees, $2.1 in operating lease liabilities and $15.8 million decrease in inventories, which were offset by an increase of $114.6 million in trade receivables, net, and $19.8 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables.

18


As a result of the disruption caused by COVID-19, we continue to anticipate a lower volume of orders in the next quarters relative to pre-COVID-19 orders, and in light of purchase obligations and manufacturing commitments incurred by us prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, our inventory levels may further increase in the next quarters resulting in consumption of cash for operating activities.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 net cash provided by investing activities was $0.7 million, of which $116.4 million from maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities which were not re-invested in order to maintain high cash balances to mitigate risks associated with COVID-19 and $25.5 million from the withdrawal from restricted bank deposits. This was offset by $36.8 million which was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $14.6 million was invested in short term bank deposits, and $89.8 million was related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $58.4 million, of which $103.7 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $39.7 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements, net, $38.4 million was utilized for the acquisition of SolarEdge Automation Machines SPA and SolarEdge eMobility SPA (formerly S.M.R.E Spa and I.E.T Spa, respectively), This was offset by $119.6 million from proceeds from sales and the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities and a decrease of $3.8 million in bank deposits.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $637.3 million, of which, $618.3 million were proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, net of $14.2 million of issuance costs , $15.2 million related to proceeds from new bank loans of Kokam and $19.2 million attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock-based awards. This was offset by $15.4 million used for repayment of loans we acquired as part of the Kokam acquisition.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $68.3 million, of which $67.1 million related to the purchase of non-controlling interests in Kokam and SolarEdge Automation Machines, $4.9 million was used for repayment of loan obligations we acquired as part of the acquisitions of Kokam, SolarEdge Automation Machines SPA and SolarEdge eMobility SPA and $1.2 million was related to the purchase of land and building formerly leased under a financial lease. This was offset by $4.9 million attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

Convertible Senior Note

On September 25, 2020, we issued $632.5 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. Net proceeds from the offering, after underwriters’ discount and commissions and offering expenses, was $617.9 million. We intend to use the proceeds of the Notes for general corporate purposes. See Note 8 to our interim financial statements for more information.

Debt Obligations

   During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Kokam redeemed all outstanding loans and entered into new bank loans in an aggregate amount of $15.2 million. The new bank loans mature in two installments through December 31, 2020, with annual interest rate of 1.64%. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate outstanding amount of the new bank loans was $15.6 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3QUANTITATIVE 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 50.7% and 52.3% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 and Korean Won. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $52.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, between the Korean Won and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks by hedging portions of the anticipated payroll payments denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). Our foreign currency forward contracts are expected to mitigate exchange rate changes related to the hedged assets. Those hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges.

In addition, we also entered into derivative instrument arrangements to hedge the Company’s exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, mainly put and call options to sell Euro for U.S. dollars, put and call options to sell U.S. dollars for South Korean Won (“KRW”) and forward contracts to sell Australian dollars (“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 September 30, 2020, one customer accounted for approximately 10.6% of our consolidated trade receivables, net balance. We currently do not foresee a credit risk associated with these receivables other than the amount included in our financial statements.

Credit risk as well as associated risks of defaults on payments and other bad debts could increase as a result of the impact of the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 on our customers.

ITEM 4CONTROLS 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 the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2020, we implemented changes to our processes related to credit losses and the related control activities. There were changes to our internal control over financial reporting related 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 other 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.

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that many of our employees were working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continuously monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 we disclosed that in May 2019, we were served with three lawsuits by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity (“Huawei”), against our two Chinese subsidiaries and our equipment manufacturer in China. The lawsuits, filed in the Guangzhou Intellectual property court, alleged infringement of three patents and ask for an injunction of manufacture, use, sale and offer for sale, and damage awards of approximately $4.7 million. A first-instance judgment was issued on August 7, 2020 ordering the three defendants to collectively pay damages in the amount of approximately $1.55 million (including court fees) with respect of one of the patents. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted by Huawei and the judgement of the first instance court and have filed an appeal with the Supreme People’s Court. The first instance court’s judgement is not enforceable pending the appeal.

In September 2018, our German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG (“SMA”). The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleged that SolarEdge's 12.5kW - 27.6kW inverters infringe two of the plaintiff’s patents. In its complaint, SMA requested inter alia an injunction and a determination for a claim for damages for sales in Germany. Plaintiff also asserted a value in dispute of EUR 5.5 million (approximately $6,450) for both patents. We challenged the validity of both patents. With respect to one of the claims, in October 2020, the German Patent Court rendered the SMA patent invalid. With respect to the other claim, in November 2019, the first instance court stayed the infringement proceedings since it considered it to be highly likely that the second SMA patent would also be rendered invalid. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted on the remaining patent and intend to vigorously defend against the remaining lawsuit.

In addition in the normal course of business, we may from time to time be named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints (including as a result of initiating such legal claims, action or complaints on behalf of the Company), including the matters described in Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019. 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.

22


ITEM 1ARISK 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, 2019 other than the supplemental risk factors added below:

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversion of the Notes in cash or to repurchase the Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion of the Notes or to repurchase the Notes.

Holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indentures governing their respective Notes) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion of the Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Notes being converted. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Notes surrendered or Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture governing such notes or to pay cash upon conversion of the Notes as required by such indenture would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under the indenture governing the Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the payment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes or make cash payments upon conversion of the Notes.
