The cancellation or deferral of product orders, or overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. For example, in the second part of 2023, the solar industry began to experience a downturn, particularly in Europe, and we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. This was a result of operational challenges in the later part of 2022, followed by record level shipments in the first half of 2023, slowing market demand in the third quarter of 2023, and which continued through the year ending December 31, 2024, as distributors began to experience financial challenges. In November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, following a major liquidity crisis, leading to cancellations of orders. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. Additionally, uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may further contribute to market volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. We may have to make significant provisions for inventory write-downs based on events that are currently not known, and such provisions or any adjustments to such provisions could be material. We may also become involved in disputes with our suppliers who may claim that we failed to fulfill forecast or minimum purchase requirements.see in full comparison

We achievedincurred a net loss of $405.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net loss of $1,806.4 million for the year ended December 31, 20242024. and net profit of $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2021, we experienced an increase in revenues and profitability when compared to the same period in 2020. In 2022 our revenues grew when compared to the same period in 2021 while our net profit decreased due to reasons detailed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Conversely,Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, we experienced a slowdown in the demand for our products and during the second part of the third quarter of 2023, we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. We continued to experience a slowdown in demand for our products throughout the year ending December 31, 2024. AsDespite a result,prolonged revenuessoftness in 2024demand, were significantly lower thanin the Companyyear expected.ending December 31, 2025, we have seen an increase in sales due to more normalized channel inventory in both the United States and in Europe.
In the future, our revenues may not grow at the pace we anticipate, or may decline for a number of reasons, many of which are outside our control, including a decline in demand for our products, increased competition, a decrease in the growth of the solar industry, disadvantageous changes to tax law, tax treaties, regulations, and guidance and interpretations related thereto, and business and industry trends including component shortagesshortages, increased competition, and supply chain disruptions due to ocean freight capacity, shipping times and port congestions as well as other macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, inflation concerns, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we fail to maintain sufficient revenue to support our operations, we may not be able to reach or sustain profitability.
In addition, we expect to incur additional costs and expenses related to the continued developmentdevelopment, anddivestiture from businesses, expansion of our business, including in connection with recent or future acquisitions as well as ongoing marketing andmarketing, developing our products, development of our own manufacturing facilities, expanding into new product markets and geographies,markets, maintaining and enhancing our research and development operations and hiring additional personnel. We do not know whether our revenues will grow rapidly enough to absorb these costs, or the extent of these expenses or their impact on the results of our operations.
A changeChanges in tax law,laws, tax treaties, andregulations, regulationsguidance or the interpretation of them, including the Inflation Reduction Act.Act and the OBBBA
National, state and local government bodies in many countries, including the United States, have provided incentives in the form of rebates, tax credits, feed-in tariffs and others to manufacturers, system owners, distributors and installers of PV systems and battery energy storage systems.
In August 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, certain incentives, including certain tax credits, for solar energy, that are significant to the Company and its U.S. based customers. On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted into law, introducing amendments to clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The H.R.1 accelerates the phase-out timeline for our customers' tax credits and imposes new eligibility criteria for the Company and our customers.
The Company has invested significant resources in establishing our manufacturing presence in the U.S. to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, including tax credits available to us for manufacturing in the U.S. and tax credits available to certain of our U.S. customers. The Company established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023 and further expanded such capabilities in 2024 and 2025. Moreover, we incorporate into our financial planning and agreements with our customers and suppliers certain assumptions regarding U.S. tax incentives. Material changes thereto could adversely affect our revenue, our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial condition.
Section 45X of the Code, as enacted by the IRA, offers AMPTCs that incentivize the manufacturing of eligible components within the U.S. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. H.R.1 preserved the length of the term of such AMPTCs.
Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit and production tax credit under Section 48E and 45Y of the Code, available to the Company’s customers, who are engaged in TPO models, such as residential solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027. H.R.1 also includes a 12-month window in which such customers can begin construction, giving them four years to complete their projects. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment of H.R.1 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 also amended the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects: projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025 must meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%, must meet a 50% threshold from and after January 1, 2026, and the threshold thereafter increases by 5% on an annual basis until 2029. H.R.1 eliminated the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively affect the overall demand for our products.
H.R.1 has also introduced new FEOC requirements including for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. These restrictions will require threshold percentages of non-FEOC material assistance that increase over time, for projects that begin on or after January 1, 2026. On July 7, 2025, the President issued an Executive Order titled “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources.” In response, on August 15, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department released IRS Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R. 1 related to beginning of construction requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method, it kept in place the offsite physical work test method for all size projects.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R.1 related to the Prohibited Foreign Entity rules (PFE) enacted in H.R. 1..Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credit material assistance calculations and its customers 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the FEOC requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations and cash flows.
We expect that the AMPTCs will be phased out by the end of 2031. Reductions in AMPTCs, without an offsetting reduction in our manufacturing costs, would adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows, and have an adverse impact on our gross margin, which may include transitioning into a gross loss. Such reductions may cause us to consider modifying the geographical footprint of our manufacturing to reduce our costs, which would require significant resources of the Company, and could adversely affect our competitiveness, business and financial condition.
In August 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, certain incentives, including certain tax credits, intended to promote clean energy. The Company has invested resources in establishing a manufacturing presence in the U.S. to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, including benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of U.S. manufactured products and incentives for manufacturers of such products domestically. Moreover, we incorporated into our financial planning and agreements with our customers and suppliers certain assumptions regarding the future level of U.S. tax incentives. Any unfavorableUnfavorable regulatory treatment, orguidance, guidance,interpretation, expiration of or changes to the benefits being made available, which we relied upon in structuring certain projects and investments, or any adverse impacts on our ability to ramp upincrease production in the U.S. in a timely manner to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA,IRA and H.R.1., could adversely impact our business and financial condition.
The U.S. Administration and to a lesser extent, portions of the European Union, have expressed a prioritization of fossil fuels over renewable energy. For example, in Germany there is a discussion regarding the possibility of reducing small residential customer’s feed-in tariffs. If successful, certain of these legislative actions could further slow the solar market potentially resulting in adverse effects on overall demand for our products, impacts to our revenue, operations and cash flows.
As mentioned, the new U.S. Presidential administration entered office on January 20, 2025, and to the extent that tax benefits or credits available under the IRA may be changed through acts of congress by new regulation or new law, our business could be adversely disadvantaged. We continue to monitor the benefits available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers.
On August 26, 2024, the Company's former CEO, Zvi Lando resigned, and the Board of Directors appointed its former CFO, Ronen Faier to the position of interim CEO. In conjunction with this transition, the Board of Directors also appointed Ariel Porat, formerly the Company’s Senior Vice President of Finance, to serve as CFO. On December 31, 2024, Rachel Prishkolnik, our long time VP General Counsel and Corporate Secretary retired from her position and was replaced by our new Chief Legal Officer, Dalia Litay. Executive leadership and senior management transitions, reductions in workforce and employee turnover can be time consuming, difficult to manage, create instability, cause disruption to our business and result in the loss of institutional knowledge, and any of these outcomes could impede the execution of our day-to-day operations and our ability to fully implement our business strategy. These impacts could also make it more difficult to attract and retain talent. The failure to successfully hire and retain key executives and employees or the further loss of any key executives, senior management and employees could have a significant impact on our operations, including declining product identity and competitive differentiation, eroding employee morale and productivity or an inability to maintain internal controls, regulatory or other compliance related requirements, any and all of which could in turn adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The workforce reductions we are implementing as part of our Restructuring Plans may negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, may harm our reputation with current or prospective employees. may cause disruption to our business and result in the loss of institutional knowledge and may impede the execution of our day-to-day operations and affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Under the Restructuring Plans, the Company reduced its workforce throughout the year ending December 31, 2024, through involuntary workforce reductions in order to better align the Company with current market conditions.
Our revenues are primarily derived from products utilized in solar PV installations. Thus, our future success depends on continued demand for solar energy solutions and our ability, and the the ability of vendors to meet this demand. The solar industry is an evolving industry that has experienced substantial changes in recent years, and we cannot be certain that consumers, businesses, or utilities will adopt solar PV systems as an alternative energy source at levels sufficient to grow our business. If demand for solar energy solutions fails to continue to develop sufficiently, demand for our products and services will decrease, resulting in an adverse impact on our ability to increase our revenue and grow our business.
Additionally, there is fluctuating demand for solar energy solutions and we manufacture our products according to our estimate of future customer demand. We have experienced, and may in the future continue to experience, excess or shortages of product inventory as a result. This process requires us to make multiple forecasts and assumptions relating to the demand of our distributors, their end customers and general market conditions. BecauseAs we sell most of our products to distributors, who in turn sell to their end customers, we have limited visibility as to end-customer demand. We depend significantly on our distributors to provide us visibility into their end-customer demand, and we use these forecasts to make our own forecasts and planning decisions. If the information from our distributors turns out to be incorrect or incomplete, then our own forecasts may also be inaccurate. Furthermore, we do not have long-term purchase commitments with most of our distributors or end customers, and our sales are generally made by purchase orders that may be canceled, changed or deferred without notice to us or penalty. As a result, it is difficult to forecast future customer demand to plan our operations.
The cancellation or deferral of product orders, or overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. For example, in the second part of 2023, the solar industry began to experience a downturn, particularly in Europe, and we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. This was a result of operational challenges in the later part of 2022, followed by record level shipments in the first half of 2023, slowing market demand in the third quarter of 2023, and which continued through the year ending December 31, 2024, as distributors began to experience financial challenges. In November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, following a major liquidity crisis, leading to cancellations of orders. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. Additionally, uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may further contribute to market volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. We may have to make significant provisions for inventory write-downs based on events that are currently not known, and such provisions or any adjustments to such provisions could be material. We may also become involved in disputes with our suppliers who may claim that we failed to fulfill forecast or minimum purchase requirements.
In the past, unfavorable macroeconomic and market conditions have resulted in sustained periods of decreased demand. Macroeconomic and market conditions could be adversely affected by a variety of political, economic or other factors in the U.S.U.S., Europe, and international markets, which could, in turn, adversely affect spending levels of installers and end users and could create volatility or deteriorating conditions in the markets in which we operate. Macroeconomic uncertainty or weakness could result in:
Decreases in the retail prices of electricity from the utility grid, or other renewable energy resources, would make the purchase of solar PV systems less economically attractive and would likely lower sales of our products. The price of electricity derived from the utility grid could decrease as a result of:
Moreover, technological developments in the PV and solar components industry could allow our competitors and their customers to offer electricity at lower costs lower than those that we can be offered by usoffer to our customers, which could result in reduced demand for our products. If the cost of electricity generated by solar PV installations incorporating our systems is high relative to the cost of electricity from other sources, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed.negatively impacted.
An increase in interest rates or tightening of the supply of capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for end-users to finance the cost of a solar PV system and could reduce the demand for smart energy products and thus the demand for our products.
Many end-users depend on financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to develop, build, or purchase a solar PV system. An increase in interest rates or a reduction in the supply of project debt financing or tax equity investments, could reduce the number of solar projects that receive financing or otherwise make it difficult for our customers or the end-users to secure the financing necessary to develop, build, purchase, or install a solar PV system on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our products which could limit our growth or reduce our net sales. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of end-users install solar PV systems as an investment, funding the initial capital expenditure through financing. An increase in interest rates could lower such end-user’s return on investment on a solar PV system, increase equity return requirements or make alternative investments more attractive relative to solar PV systems, and, in each case, could cause such end-users to seek alternative investments. During 2022 and 2023, record levels of inflation have resulted in significant volatility and disruptions in the global economy. In response to rising inflation, central banks in the markets in which we operate, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have tightened their monetary policies and raised interest rates. Such measures have adversely impacted the demand for our products whichand may continue if there is a period of sustained heightened inflation.
The market for our products is highly competitive and we expect to face increased competition as new and existing competitors introduce power optimizers, EV chargers, inverters, solar PV system monitoring, batteries and other smart energy products, which could negatively affect our results of operations and market share.
The market for solar PV solutions is highly competitive.competitive and increasing competition may adversely affect our market share, revenues, gross margins, and profitability. We principally compete with traditional inverter manufacturers as well asmanufacturers, microinverter manufacturers.manufacturers, Currently,and ouremerging MLPE technology providers. Our DC optimized inverter system competes with products from these traditional inverter manufacturers, microinverter manufacturers,competitors as well as emergingnew technology companiesentrants offering alternative MLPE products.technologies. Over the past fewlast years, several new entrants to the inverter and MLPE market, including low-cost Asian manufacturers, have announcedentered, plans to shipannounced, or haveexpanded already shipped products ininto markets in which we sell our products, including, with respect to sales in the U.S., AustraliaAustralia, and in Europe. We expect competition to intensify as new and existing competitors enter the market. InIncreasing addition,competition thereis arebeing severaldriven newby entrantsevolving thatsafety arestandards, proposingthe emergence of higher‑power PV modules, rising demand for storage batteriessolutions, as well as solutions toand the rapidentry shutdownof functionalityadditional whichMLPE, hasinverter, becomebattery, aand regulatorysoftware‑based requirementenergy‑management forproviders PVacross rooftopour solarkey systemsmarkets, inacross theboth U.S.our residential and C&I markets.. If these new technologies are successful in offering a price competitive and technological attractive solution to the residential solar PV market, this could make it more difficult for us to maintain market share.
Several of our existing and potential competitors have the financial resources or have received certainfinancial resources or benefit from government subsidies or state‑supported financing, in order to offer competitive products at aggressive or below-market pricing levels, which could cause us to lose sales or market share or require us to lower prices for our products in order to compete effectively. Specifically, competition from Chinese state owned or financed companies pose apricing threat.pressure on us and may exacerbate regional market volatility. If we have to reduce our prices by more than we anticipated, or if we are unable to offset any future reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volume, reducing our costs and expenses or introducing new products, our revenues and gross profit would suffer.
In addition, competitors may be able to develop new technologies or products more quickly than us, may partner with other competitors to provide combined technologies and competing solutions and may be able to develop products that are more reliable or that provide more functionality than ours.
Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advances in other forms of distributed solar PV power generation, storage solutions, such as batteries, the widespread use or adoption of fuel cells for residential or commercial properties or improvements in other forms of centralized power production, may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Any failure by us to adopt new or enhanced technologies ortechnologies, processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could result in product obsolescence, the loss of competitiveness of our products, decreaseddecreases revenuein our revenue, and a loss of market share to competitors.
Our future success partly depends on continued demand for solar PV systems in the end-markets we serve, including the residential and commercial sectors in the U.S.U.S., Europe and Europe.additional international markets. The solar industry has historically been cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns which have affected and may in the future affect demand for our products. The solar industry has undergone challenging business conditions in past years, including downward pricing pressure for PV modules, mainly as a result of overproduction, and reductions in applicable governmental subsidies, contributing to demand decreases. For example, since the second part of 20232023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2024,2025 the solar industry experienced a downturn, which continues,persists. particularlyThis indownturn Europe, whichinitially led to a large amount of requests to cancel or push out orders during 2023 and into 2024, and the buildup of a significant backlog for our products.products.In Thisthe slowdownsecond half of 2023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2025, with a downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market inhave Europeannounced continuesexiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress.

Some of our customers and 2022.some Additionally,installers therewho purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. There is no assurance that the solar industry will not suffer additional significant downturns in the future, which will adversely affect demand for our solar products and our results of operations.
Furthermore, defective components may give rise to warranty, indemnity, or product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. In most cases, we offer a minimum 12-year limited warranty for our inverters, extendable to twenty-five years for an additional cost, a 25-year limited warranty for our power optimizers and a 10-year limited warranty for our residential energybatteries bankand battery.storage solutions. Our limited warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship of our products under normal use and service conditions; therefore, we bear the risk of warranty claims long after we have sold products and recognized revenue. While we do have accrued reserves for warranty claims, our estimated warranty costs for previously sold products may change to the extent future products are not compatible with earlier generation products under warranty. Our warranty accruals are based on our assumptions and in some cases we do not have a long history of making such assumptions. As a result, theseThese assumptions could prove to be materially different from the actual performance of our systems, or from claims made by installers, customers or end users, causing us to incur substantial unanticipated expenses to repair or replace defective products in the future or to compensate customers for defective products. Our failure to accurately predict future claims could result in unexpected volatility in, and have a material adverse effect on, our financial condition. In particular, our commercial CSS-OD batteries are still relatively new onto the marketmarket, and weour do not have theoperational experience in servicing these products yet.is still developing.
Changes in our geographic footprint or product and service offerings may subject us to additional business, operational, financial, competitive, and compliance risks.
In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. As such, we are focusing on markets where we believe we will recognize the most opportunity. We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to leave geographic markets if they are not profitable or expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services. We may sell subsidiaries, business, or disengage with product lines in order to further our focus on our core business and as a cost-reduction effort. We may also engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen and expand our market position, technological capabilities, or provide synergy opportunities.
Throughout the last years, we have divested from certain businesses and markets in order to focus on our core business. In October 2023, the Company decided to discontinue its LCV e-Mobility activity. In November 2024, the Company decided to discontinue its Energy Storage business related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our Sella2 location in South Korea in order to focus on the Company's core solar business. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, we sold our last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. In April 2025, we divested from our PV tracker business, as part of our effort to focus on our core activities. Our divestiture from any market or business has costs, could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Our divestiture from any geographic markets may involve significant operational, legal, and financial risks. Decisions to discontinue operations in a region—whether due to unfavorable regulatory changes, sustained decreases in demand, macroeconomic deterioration, or shifts in strategic priorities could result in the loss of established customer relationships, impairment of long‑lived assets, and increased costs associated with contract terminations, workforce reductions, or regulatory compliance. Additionally, withdrawal from a market may adversely affect our brand reputation, limit future growth opportunities in that region, and increase the complexity of managing our global operations, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our successful operation in any market, including those we exit, re-enter, or any acquired business, will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to develop solutions to address the requirements of the homeowners, regulators, large commercial and utility-scale PV markets, timely certification of new products for large commercial and utility-scale PV installations, acceptance of power optimizers in PV markets in which they have not traditionally been used, and our ability to manage increased manufacturing capacity and production and to identify and integrate any acquired businesses.
Further, we expect PV markets and additional markets that we have entered, exited, or may enter into, to have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell our products. Our success will depend on our ability to properly adapt to these differences, which include differing regulatory requirements, such as tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, tariffs, export quotas, customs duties, or other trade restrictions, limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection, international, political or economic conditions, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, longer sales cycles, warranty expectations, product return policies and cost, and performance and compatibility requirements. In addition, expanding into new geographic markets will increase our exposure to existing risks, such as fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and increased expenses in complying with U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and trade standards, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”).
Failure to successfully develop and introduce new products, successfully integrate acquired businesses, or to otherwise manage the risks and challenges associated with our potential expansion into new product and geographic markets, could adversely affect our revenues and our ability to sustain profitability.
While we manufacture a small portion of our products in Israel, we heavily rely upon our contract manufacturers to manufacture most of our products. We mainly rely on two contract manufacturers. Any change in our relationship or contractual terms with our contract manufacturers, or changes in our contract manufacturers’ ability to comply with their contractual obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our reliance on a small number of contract manufacturers makes us vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. Even though we havealso commenced manufacturingmanufacture in our facilities in Israel, the expected production volumes will not be sufficient to relieve our significant dependence on our contract manufacturers. In addition, we remain heavily dependent on suppliers of the subcomponents and components needed for our manufacturing.
We depend on limited or single source suppliers for certain key components and raw materials used to manufacture our products, making us susceptible to quality issues, shortages and price changes. Any of these limited or single source suppliers could stop supplying, or offering at commercially reasonable prices, our components or raw materials, cease operations or be acquired by, or enter into exclusive arrangements with our competitors. Moreover, we rely on suppliers in China for certain key subcomponents or components, and rising tensions between China and other countries could damage our relationships with these suppliers. Because there are few suppliers of raw materials used to manufacture our products, itIt may be difficult to timely identify and/or qualify alternate suppliers on commercially reasonable terms; therefore, our ability to satisfy customer demand may be adversely affected. Transitioning to a new supplier or redesigning a product to accommodate a new component manufacturer would result in additional costs and delays that could harm our business or financial performance.
Any interruption in the supply of limited source components or raw materials for our products would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our customers and could result in lost revenue or higher expenses associated with increased air shipments required to meet customer demand in a timely manner and would harm our business. For example, in 2021 and 2022, we experienced raw material shortages due to increased lead time which affected our ability to timely receive certain components within the previously expected lead times. If this were to reoccur, such shortages could result in a delay in sales, higher costs associated with air shipments, cancellations of orders by customers, liquidated damages for late deliveries and loss of market share.
Changing political and geopolitical conditions could adversely impact our business, our financial results, and the global energy market.
Changes in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell, or distribute our products, as well as changing geopolitical conditions, may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business, operations, and financial results. Results of elections, referendums, the implementation of trade restrictions, sanctions or other political processes and pressures in certain markets in which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed have created and could continue to create uncertainty regarding how existing governmental policies, laws and regulations may change, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, import and export controls and the general movement of goods, materials, services, capital, data and people between countries. The potential implications of such uncertainty, which include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations, variability, and unpredictability in trade relations such as U.S. trade relations, new or increased tariffs, trade barriers and market contraction, could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
Disruption in our global supply chain and rising prices of oil and raw materials as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.
TheFor example the conflict that began between Russia and Ukraine in late February 2022 may lead to disruptions to our supply-chain and logistics. Specifically, the conflict may disrupt the transit of goods by train from China to Europe, resulting in an increase in prices of certain raw materials sourced in Russia (such as nickel and aluminum) that we use in the manufacture of our products as well as increase in oil prices that will in turn cause overall shipping costs to rise.products. In addition, the governments of the U.S., the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions have announced sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions, as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect the global financial markets generally and levels of economic activity as well as increase financial markets volatility and any additional measures or sanctions, as well as the resulting rise in prices of oil and certain raw materials sourced in Russia may disrupt our business and results of operations and/or adversely affect the pricing of our products.
In the second half of 20232023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2024,2025, with thea downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress. For example, in JanuaryNovember 2024,2025, ADTPosigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it wasfiled exitingfor Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the residentialSouthern solar business completely after having bought Sunpro Solar in 2021. ADT was not a customerDistrict of SolarEdge, but the trend could continue and SolarEdge customers could also decide to exit the solar business.Texas.. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. If these installers and distributors become insolvent or if some of their customers fail to pay our distributors for products sold by such distributors, we may need to write off some of their debt to us and we may suffer harm to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There hashave been an increase in consolidation activities among distributors, large installers, and other strategic partners in the solar industry. For example,example in OctoberSunPower 2020,Inc. Sunrun,a solar technology, services and installation company acquired Sunder Energy, a leading providerresidential solar sales company, in September 2025. In November 2025, Sun Power Inc also acquired Ambia Solar, a residential solar installation company. Additionally, in September 2025, Solaris Assets, LLC, and certain of its affiliates acquired substantially all the assets and business operations of Sunnova Energy International Inc., a residential solar,solar and battery storage and energy services, acquired Vivint Solar. In addition, in December 2021, Stem Inc., a storage software and services company acquired AlsoEnergy, a solar asset management software company. If thisconsolidations consolidationpersist continuesin andthe impactssolar industry, our customers,customers itmay willbe furtherimpacted, as we may increase our reliance on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and may negatively impact our competitive position in the solar market.
Our ability to implement our new ERP system could adversely impact our business and operations.
We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business and summarize operating results. We substantially completed the implementation of our new global ERP system during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. We are performing our post-implementation activities. The implementation of that ERP system is expected to, among other things, improve user access security and automate a number of accounting, back office and reporting processes and activities, thereby decreasing the amount of manual processes previously required. The implementation resulted in, and the post-implementation activities may result in, changes to certain of our processes and procedures. These changes have been and will continue to be subject to our evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The ERP system implementation process has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant personnel and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully complete the implementation of our ERP system without experiencing delays, increased costs and other difficulties. If we are unable to successfully design and utilize the new ERP system as planned, our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if we do not effectively utilize the ERP system as planned or the ERP system does not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be adversely affected or our ability to assess those controls adequately could be delayed.
Our expansion into new geographic markets or new product lines or services could subject us to additional business, financial, and competitive risks.
We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services. We also may from time to time engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen and expand our market position, technological capabilities, or provide synergy opportunities. For example, we intend to continue to introduce new products targeted at large commercial installations.
Our successful operation in any markets, or any acquired business, will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to develop solutions to address the requirements of the large commercial and utility-scale solar PV markets, timely certification of new products for large commercial and utility-scale solar PV installations, acceptance of power optimizers in solar PV markets in which they have not traditionally been used, and our ability to manage increased manufacturing capacity and production and to identify and integrate any acquired businesses.
Further, we expect these new solar PV markets and additional markets we have entered, or may enter into, to have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell our products. Our success will depend on our ability to properly adapt to these differences, which include differing regulatory requirements, such as tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, tariffs, export quotas, customs duties, or other trade restrictions, limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection, international, political or economic conditions, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, longer sales cycles, warranty expectations, product return policies and cost, and performance and compatibility requirements. In addition, expanding into new geographic markets will increase our exposure to existing risks, such as fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and increased expenses in complying with U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and trade standards, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”).
Failure to successfully develop and introduce these new products, successfully integrate acquired businesses, or to otherwise manage the risks and challenges associated with our potential expansion into new product and geographic markets, could adversely affect our revenues and our ability to sustain profitability.
We have discontinued our e-Mobility business andbusiness, energy storage business, and PV Tracker business, resulting in the write-off of tangible and intangible assets.
In October 2023, the Company decided to discontinue its LCV e-Mobility activity related to the supply of products to its sole customer, Stellantis. Our e-Mobility business currently does not have additional substantial projects in the pipeline, and we do not plan to engage additional customers or generate revenues from the e-Mobility business. We have therefore discontinued this business. In November 2024, the yearCompany endedannounced Decemberthat 31,it 2022,intends weto impaireddiscontinue goodwillits andEnergy intangibleStorage assetsbusiness related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our e-MobilitySella business2 andlocation in South Korea in order to focus on the yearCompany's endedcore solar business. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, we sold our last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. During December 31,2025, 2023,the Company decided to undertake actions necessary to substantially complete the liquidation process of SolarEdge Technologies Korea Co., Ltd. In April 2025, we impaireddivested tangiblefrom assetsour includingPV machinerytracker andbusiness, inventoryas write-off.part Suchof impairmentour chargeseffort haveto had a negative impactfocus on our operatingcore results and related financial statements.activities.
In the year ended December 31, 2023, we impaired tangible assets including machinery and inventory write-off related to our e-Mobility business. In the year ending December 31, 2024 we impaired goodwill and intangible assets and inventory write-off relating to our and Energy Storage Division. In the year ending December 31, 2025, we impaired our e-Mobility and Energy Storage held-for-sale assets to its fair value and did not impair any goodwill or intangible assets. Any future impairment charges could have a negative impact on our operating results and related financial statements.
The workforce reductions we have implemented as part of our Restructuring Plans may negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, may harm our reputation with current or prospective employees, may cause disruption to our business and result in the loss of institutional knowledge, and may impede the execution of our day-to-day operations and affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Under the Restructuring Plans, the Company reduced its workforce globally, throughout the last two years, through involuntary workforce reductions in order to better align the Company with current market conditions.
In November 2024, the Company announced that it intends to discontinue its Energy Storage business related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our Sella2 location in South Korea in order to focus on the Company's core solar business.
In order to operate more efficiently and cost effectively, we have, and we may from time to time, adjust employment levels, optimize our footprint and/or implement other restructuring activities. For example, in January, July, and November 2024, as well as January 2025, we announced adoption of a restructuring plan in response to challenging industry conditions, including a reduction in workforce. In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. These activities are complex and may involve or require significant changes to our operations. If we do not successfully manage these activities, expected efficiencies and benefits might be delayed or not realized. Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include: unfavorable political responses and reputational harm; unforeseen delays in the implementation of the restructuring activities; additional costs; adverse effects on employee morale; the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees or work stoppages; and difficulty managing our operations during or after facility consolidations, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions, harm our business or reputation, or have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K captioned “Business” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the sections of this Annual Report captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”. For discussion related to changes in financial condition and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 (including as compared to 2022),2024, refer to Item 7- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26,25, 2024.2025.
We are a global smart energy technology company. We develop, manufacture, and sell products that address a broad range of energy market segments through our diversified product offering, including residential, commercial and large scale photovoltaic or PV, energy storage and backup solutions, electric vehicle or EV charging capabilities, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants,plants. asBy wellleveraging asengineering products in our non-solar businesses including lithium-ion cells, batteriescapabilities and energywith storage systems, prior to October 2024, automation machines ("Automation Machines") and in prior years we also had product offerings for the e-mobility market. In October 2023, we decided to discontinue our LCV activity and the remaining e-mobility activity. Starting January 1, 2024, all e-mobility activity, which includes PV solutions are included under our solar segment. In October 2024, the Company completed the sale of Automation Machines. Additionally, in November 2024, the Company announced the closure of its Energy Storage Division, as part of itsa focus on itsinnovation, coresafety solarand activitiesreliability, Inwe thecreate fourthsmart quarterenergy 2024solutions thethat Companypower identifiedour onelives reportableand segment:drive thefuture Solar segment.progress.
We launched or ramped up sales of several new products in 2025. Most notably, we launched our next-generation residential product portfolio, called SolarEdge Nexis, with initial units delivered toward the end of 2025. We also expanded our commercial energy storage business with CSS-OD, a 102.4 kWh rated solution scalable up to megawatt hour size sites, suitable for outdoor or indoor installations.
At the end of 2025, we transitioned our inverter products to a Single SKU concept. This is a software-defined platform that significantly reduces the complexity of our business for residential and commercial applications globally. It allows us to manufacture and ship one SKU of an inverter to the market, which can then be programmed to the desired kilowatt rating in the field. This framework simplifies forecasting, manufacturing, inventory management, logistics, service and support, for both us and our customers. It also adds flexibility for home and business owners who can boost the inverter rating if a larger system is needed in the future.
In light of the IRA legislation in the United States, which incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of products with domestic content, as well as by incentivizing local manufacturing of our products, we manufacture the vast majority of our products in the United States. This includes inverters in Texas, optimizers and inverters in Florida, and manufacturing of batteries in Utah. As part of our effort to streamline and centralize, we have discontinued manufacturing in China, Mexico, and Hungary. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel, at our Sella 1 facility. We also continue to maintain manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam, with a third-party manufacturer.
In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries.
Following the sale of Automation Machines and the discontinuation of the Company's Energy Storage activity in 2024, we operate as one operating segment that constitutes consolidated results.
For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, one customer accounted for 12.9%18.6% of our revenues and our top three customers (all distributors) together represented 31.3%35.8% of our revenues.
Our revenues were $901.5$1,184.4 million and $2,976.5$901.5 million for the year ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 20242025 our gross lossprofit was 97.3%16.6% as compared to gross profitloss of 23.6%97.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our net loss was $1,806.4$405.4 million as compared to our net incomeloss of $34.3$1,806.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024.
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. WeAs usediscussed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2025, we re-evaluated the key operating metrics relatingthat we have historically used to shipmentsmeasure our operating performance to improve their accuracy and relevance to the Company's business. This process included our application of inverters,new powerdata, optimizerstechnologies, and/or megawattsproduct changes that may allow us to evaluateidentify ourmetrics salesthat performancewe andview to trackbe marketthe acceptancemost reflective of our products. We use metrics relating to monitoring (systems monitored) to evaluate market acceptance of our products and usage of our solution.business.
Specifically, the markets that we serve are increasingly transitioning away from discreet product purchases and toward more comprehensive systems and solutions. This trend is occurring across all of our regions and end markets. As a result of these market trends, we are adjusting our technology platform and go to market strategies to cater to this trend by offering more comprehensive solutions. These trends also result in the cost of our inverter, optimizer, and energy storage products becoming a widely varying fraction of the overall value of the solutions that we provide. In addition, the ASP calculation for these units also widely varies due to diverse end market exposure. As such, trends in costs and selling prices per megawatt and megawatt hour are less representative of our overall business performance. We believe that this trend will only continue to become more prevalent in the future. Additionally, the Company believes that revenue recognition is a more accurate measurement than products shipped, for the purpose of assessing the Company’s actual earnings rather than mere operational activity. In some cases, products shipped may not be recognized as revenue in a specific quarter due to timing of delivery, and results may differ as such in the metrics previously used in our financial statements. Accordingly, and further to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2025, management determined that the third quarter of 2025 would be the last report in which it would include i) inverters shipped, ii) optimizers shipped, and iii) MWh of batteries shipped, as metrics, before being discontinued in this annual report on Form 10-K. Management has replaced these key operating metrics with i) inverters recognized as revenue, ii) optimizers recognized as revenue, and iii) MWh of batteries recognized as revenue, which management believes more accurately reflect the Company’s actual operations. In addition, we have begun disclosing revenue derived from inverters, optimizers and batteries on a quarterly basis within our quarterly reports on Form 10Q and in this annual report on Form 10K.
In an effort to simplify the Company’s product portfolio and streamline our business, we have reduced the variety of SKUs, in a manner in which we are no longer able to track Megawatts shipped as a metric. The move to our Single SKU concept means that the Company is not able to determine the AC power rating of inverters at the time of shipment. The AC power rating can only be determined once it is installed in the field, which typically occurs at least 6 months after shipment and can be altered in accordance with an end user's needs. As a result, the Company no longer provides Megawatts shipped as key operating metrics, starting with this fourth quarter of 2025.
Limited Market Portfolio Rationalization
In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries.
We provide the “megawatts shipped” and "megawatt hours shipped" metrics, which are calculated based on inverter or battery nameplate capacity shipped respectively, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter or battery, and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total nameplate capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues may increase in a non-correlated manner to the "megawatt shipped" metric since other products such as Power Optimizers, are not accounted for in this metric.
1Excluding batteries for PV applications, based on the aggregate nameplate capacity of inverters shipped during the applicable period.
A prolonged slowdown in demand in the global market for PV products has continued to adversely impact the solar industry. Additionally, uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may further contribute to market volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. Despite a prolonged softness in demand, we have seen an increase in sales, in 2025, due to more normalized channel inventory in both the United States and in Europe. Additionally, the attachment rate of batteries within solar installations is rising globally, which we believe has led an increase in demand for our batteries.
Impact of the H.R.1 on U.S. Tax Incentives
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the IRA, which contains several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption of clean energy such as solar, wind, hydrogen and electric vehicles and therefore had positive impacts on our business and operations along with the overall US solar market. Some of the applicable provisions in the IRA that are positively impacting the market for renewable energy include the extension of 48E, the tech-neutral investment tax credit ITC, and 45Y, the tech-neutral PTC. The IRA includes incentives for residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of ITCs for qualifying energy projects of up to 30% with a potential to gain further bonus credits such as through the utilization of Domestic Content. Section 45X of the IRA offers AMPTCs, that incentivize the production of eligible components within the United States. In light of such incentives, we established manufacturing capabilities in the United States starting in 2023, and further expanded such capabilities in 2024 and 2025. On October 24, 2024, regulations concerning the application of Section 45X were published by the U.S. Treasury Department which contain detailed rules concerning eligibility, qualifying and accounting for AMPTCs. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. In 2024 and 2025, we sold a significant part of the AMPTCs that we generated from our U.S. production of eligible components.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, was enacted into law introducing amendments to the clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The IRA provides energy tax credits that are significant to SolarEdge and its U.S. based customers, and material changes thereto could adversely affect our revenue, our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial condition.
H.R.1 accelerates the phase-out timeline for certain credits, eliminates the 25D credit, and imposes new eligibility criteria. H.R.1 does not shorten the term of such 45X Credits. Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit and production tax credit under Sections 48E and 45Y of the Code, used by customers of SolarEdge who are engaged in TPO models, such as residential solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027. However, H.R.1 also includes a 12-month period in which such customers can begin construction giving them four years to complete their projects. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment of H.R.1 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 eliminates the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively affect the overall demand for our products.
H.R.1 also amends the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects. Projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025 must meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%. Since January 1, 2026, such threshold was increased to 50% and shall thereafter be further increased by 5% on an annual basis, until 2029. In addition, H.R.1 introduced new FEOC requirements for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. These restrictions require threshold percentages of non FEOC components that increase over time, beginning January 1, 2026. Currently, SolarEdge is manufacturing components aimed help our customers meet their non-FEOC percentage requirements. However, if Treasury were to release new rules or guidance that impact our ability to provide components with non-FEOC percentages towards their total requirement, our customers’ eligibility to qualify for certain tax credits could be impaired, which may adversely affect our revenue, gross margins, business operations and competitive position. In addition, as of January 1, 2026, in order to receive the 45X Credit, manufacturers must also reach a required percentage of non-FEOC content in their manufactured components. If the Company is unable to reach that required percentage, it could have adverse impacts on our manufacturing costs, results of operations, cash flows, gross margin, and profits.
On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R.1 related to beginning of construction requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method (still allowing projects equal to or less than 1.5 MW to continue using it), but kept in place the physical work test method for all projects.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R. 1 related to the Prohibited Foreign Entity rules (PFE) enacted in H.R.1. Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credits material assistance calculations and its customers' 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the FEOC requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations and cash flows.
To the extent that tax benefits or credits may be impacted through new regulation, issued guidance, interpretation, or by new laws passed by Congress, our business could be disadvantaged or advantaged. Reductions in AMPTCs, without an offsetting reduction in our manufacturing costs, would adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows, and have an adverse impact on our gross margin, which may include transitioning into a gross loss. We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers.
Trade Tariff Uncertainties
The current trade situation is creating uncertainty about what impact new or existing tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory actions may have on us, the solar industry, our partners, and our customers. We have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we manufacture the vast bulk of our products. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel, at our Sella 1 facility. Certain critical subcomponents for our products are still sourced from outside the United States. If not resolved, the escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions or other retaliatory measures on our products or components or subcomponents originating from countries outside of the United States, could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components or subcomponents, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell our products at prices customers are willing to pay. In addition, retaliatory measures from other countries on products originating from the United States for export could adversely impact our ability to sell our products at competitive prices in such countries. Certain of the subcomponents used in our products are being imported to the United States from China, which may be subject to significantly increased tariffs. In light of the aforementioned, we continue to adjust our supply chains and are exploring alternative suppliers outside of China, however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in identifying suitable alternatives, or that such alternatives, if identified, will not result in increased costs or reduced operational efficiency.
If the price of solar power systems increases, as well as the cost of manufacturing our products in the United States, the use of solar power systems could become less economically feasible and could further reduce our gross margins or reduce the demand of solar power systems manufactured and sold, which in turn may decrease demand for our products. Additionally, existing or future tariffs may negatively affect key partners, suppliers and manufacturers. Such outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue, results of operations or cash flows, and continuing uncertainty could cause sales volatility, price fluctuations or supply shortages or cause our customers to advance or delay their purchase of our products. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business operations, results of operations and cash flows.
We have seen a slowdown in demand for our products in our Solar segment from our direct customers since the second part of the third quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024. This was a result of slowed market demand in the third quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024 as distributors began to take actions to reduce inventory levels. In particular, beginning in the second part of the third quarter of 2023, we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. We attribute these cancellations and pushouts to high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates both in the United States and to a greater extent in Europe. This trend continued in the subsequent quarters, throughout 2024. Additionally, the Company anticipates that this trend will continue in the first quarter of 2025, as our inventory destocking process continues.
Due to the war that began on October 7, 2023, some of our employees in Israel were called to active reserve duty and additional employees may be called in the future, if needed.

While our offices and facilities are open worldwide, including in Israel, and, to date, we have not had material disruptions to our ability to manufacture and deliver products and services to customers. A reemergence of conflicts in Israel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the ongoing and evolving nature of the conflict in Israel, and the extent of these events, the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown.
The majority of our key employees and officers are residents of Israel. If any of our facilities in Israel were to be damaged, destroyed or otherwise rendered unable to operate, whether due to war, acts of hostility, earthquakes, fire, floods, storms,otherstorms, other natural disasters, employee malfeasance, terrorist acts, power outages or otherwise, or if performance of our research and development is disrupted for any other reason, such an event could delay commercialization of our products, and if we choose to manufacture all or any part of them internally, jeopardize our ability to manufacture our products as promptly as our prospective customers will likely expect, or possibly at all. If we experience delays in achieving our development objectives within a timeframe that meets our prospective customers’ expectations, our business, prospects, financial results and reputation could be harmed.
Impact of Ukraine’s Conflict on the Energy Landscape
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which started in early 2022, and the sanctions and other measures imposed in response to this conflict, have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While we do not have any meaningful business in Russia or Ukraine and we do not have physical assets in these countries, this conflict has, and is likely to continue to have, a multidimensional impact on the global economy, the energy landscape in general and the global supply chain. While the impact of this conflict continued to decreased in 2024, an escalation of this ongoing conflict could lead to an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Inflation Reduction Act
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which includes several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption of clean energy, battery and energy storage, electrical vehicles, and other solar products and is expected to impact our business and operations. As part of such incentives, the IRA, among other things, extends the investment tax credit and production tax credit through 2034 and is therefore expected to increase the demand for solar products. The IRA also further incentivizes residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of a tax credit for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%. Section 45X of the IRA offers advanced manufacturing production tax credits ("AMPTC") that incentivize the production of eligible components within the U.S. To that end, we established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023. These provisions of the law are new and regulations and guidance concerning their implementation are gradually being published by the U.S. Treasury Department. On October 24, 2024, final regulations concerning the application of IRC §45X were published. The regulations contain detailed rules concerning the eligibility, qualifying and accounting for AMPTCs. Of particular relevance to the Company are the rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems, that are included in the definition of Microinverters. In 2024 we sold a significant part of the AMPTCs we generated from our U.S. production of eligible components.
In January 2025, the new U.S. administration issued executive orders aimed at pausing grants and other government funding that have not already been dispersed to under the IRA, creating uncertainty regarding the ability to secure government awards and grants. This potential loss of financial support could adversely impact our business, and potentially the overall financial performance of the Company.
We generate revenues from the sale of DC optimized inverter systems for solar PV installations, which include power optimizers, inverters, storage and backup solutions, EV chargers, smart energy devices, our cloud-based monitoring platform, extended warranty for our products and grid services. Our customer base mainly includes distributors, large solar installers, wholesalers, and EPCs. In addition, we also generated revenues from the sale of lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage solutions and automation machines.
Our revenues from the sale of solar-relatedour products are affected by changes in the volume and average selling prices of our DC optimized inverter systems. The volume and average selling price of our systems is driven by the supply and demand for our products, changes in the product mix between our residential and commercial products, the customer mix between large and small customers, the geographical mix of our sales, sales incentives, end user government incentives, seasonality, and competitive product offerings. Revenues from the sale of lithium-ion cells, batteries, energy storage system or ESS products, are affected by the type of product sold (cell, battery or system) and the type of battery that is sold.
Our revenue growth is dependent on our ability to expand our market share in each of the geographies in which we compete, expand and retain our global footprint to newin evolving markets, manage our production capabilities to meet demand, continue to develop and introduce new and innovative products that address the changing technology and performance requirements of our customers and expand of the new businesses we acquired.customers.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, 60.6% of our revenues were generated from the United States, 26.8% of our revenues were generated from Europe, and 12.5% of our revenues were generated from our other international markets ("International Markets"). In the year ended December 31, 2024, 42.1% of our revenues were generated from the United States, 35.8% of our revenues were generated from Europe, and 22.1% of our revenues were generated from International Markets.
In the year ended December 31, 2024, 42.1% of our revenues were generated from the United States, 35.8% of our revenues were generated from Europe, and 22.1% of our revenues were generated from the rest of the world ("ROW"). In the year ended December 31, 2023, 64.0% of our revenues were generated from Europe, 25.5% of our revenues were generated from the United States and 10.5% of our revenues were generated from ROW.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of product costs, including purchases from our contract manufacturers and other suppliers, as well as costs related to shipping, customer support, product warranty, personnel, depreciation of testing and manufacturing equipment, amortization of intangible assets and other fixed costs, provision for losses related to slow moving and dead inventory, hosting services for our cloud based monitoring platform, variable utility costs, operational costs related to the manufacturing factories, other logistics services, and contract termination costs, partially offset by AMPTCs we are entitled to under IRA. When evaluating potential manufacturing locations, the Company considers the full cost structure associated with the cost of revenues and the related decision‑making process reflects a holistic review of operational, logistical, financial, and strategic parameters, including market conditions, cost structures, tariffs, and the evolving policy landscape. Our product costs are affected by technological innovations, such as advances in semiconductor integration and new product introductions, economies of scale resulting in lower component costs, improvements in production processes and automation, the volume of products subject to import tariffs (for example, for imports from China to the U.S.) and the volume of products for which manufacturing credits are available (for example, for products made in the U.S.). Some of these costs, primarily personnel, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of testing and manufacturing equipment, are not directly affected by sales volume.
In November 2024, the Company announced its decision to cease all activities in its Energy Storage Division. As such, SolarEdge is currently in the process of closing down its operations in South Korea, including at Sella 2.
Cost of revenues also includes our operations, productionproduction, and support departments’ costs. TheOur operations and production departments are responsible for production management such as planning, procurement, supply chain, production methodologies and machinery planning, logistics managementmanagement, and manufacturing support to our contract manufacturers, as well as the quality assurance of our products. Our support department provides customer and technical support at various levels through our call centers around the world as well as second and third-level support services, which are provided by support personnel located in our headquarters. Our employees headcount in our operations, production and support departments has reducedincreased to 1,935 as of December 31, 2025 from 1,804 as of December 31, 2024 from 2,857 as of December 31, 2023.2024.
In October of 2023, the Company made an announcement regarding its restructuring plans to adjust its manufacturing capacity and increase operating efficiency, including, terminatingincluding the manufacturingdiscontinuation process in Mexico, reducing manufacturing capacity in China, and discontinuingof the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity,activity. and onOn January 21, 2024, the Company announced adoption of additional measures in response to challenging industry conditions, including reducing its headcount by approximately 900 over the first half of 2024 through involuntary workforce reduction plans, followed by an additional involuntary workforce reduction in July 2024 resulting in the layoff of approximately 400 employeesemployees. (together,On November 27, 2024, the “RestructuringCompany Plans”).announced the closure of its Energy Storage Division. Under the closure, the Company expected to reduce its headcount by approximately 500 employees, primarily employees working in manufacturing positions in South Korea. These decisions were made in order to better align the Company with current market conditions.conditions (together, the “Restructuring Plans”).
In January 2025, the Company announced the adoption of a restructuring plan, in response to challenging industry conditions, which included an additional reduction in workforce. In April 2025, we divested from our PV tracker business, as part of our effort to focus on our core activities. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, the Company sold its last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. In 2025, we also began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries (together, the “Restructuring Plans”).
On November 27, 2024, the Company announced the closure of its Energy Storage Division. Under the closure, the Company expects to reduce its headcount by approximately 500 employees, primarily employees working in manufacturing positions in South Korea. In connection with this closure and associated headcount reduction, almost all of the employee population will be dismissed over the first half of 2025.
Gross profit (loss) may vary from quarter to quarter and is primarily affected by our average selling prices, product costs, manufacturing ramp-up costs, restructuring costs, product mix, customer mix, geographical mix, location of manufacturing, shipping method, warranty costs, generation and recognition of AMPTCs, ability to benefit from certain tax credits, inventory write-offs, exchange ratesrates, and seasonality.
Operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, goodwill impairment and other operating expenses, net. Personnel-related costs are a significant component of the operating expenses and include salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, commissions, severance and stock-based compensation. Our employees headcount in our research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative departments, has reduced to 1,641 as of December 31, 2025 from 2,157 as of December 31, 2024 fromas 2,776 aspart of December 31, 2023. Under the 2024 and 2025our Restructuring Plans described above, our headcount will be further reduced over the first half of 2025.Plans.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses such as salaries, severance, sales commissions, benefits, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation. These expenses also include travel, fees of independent consultants, trade shows, marketing, costs associated with the operation of our sales offices and other indirect costs. We currently have a sales presence in many countries worldwide. In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. We may either continue to reduce our presence in certain regions or expand our sales presence to additional regions or reduce, our presenceglobally, in certainthe regions, globally.future.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, severance, employee benefitsbenefits, and stock-based compensation related to our executives, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal organizations, travel expenses, facilities costs, fees for professional services, and registration fees related to being a publicly-traded company. Professional services consist of audit and legal costs, remuneration to board members, insurance, information technologytechnology, and other costs. General and administrative expenses also include expenses related to certain legal claims and provision for expected credit losses in the event of uncollectible account receivables balances.
Other operating expenses, net, consist primarily of impairment and abandonment of long-lived assets, impairment of assets held for sale, loss from business disposition, as well as goodwill impairment assigned to our reporting units and tested for impairment at least on an annual basis and certain other nonrecurring items.
Interest expense consists of interest related to bank loans, advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year, related to Accounting Standard Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606), interest related to Accounting Standard Codification 842, “Leases” (ASC 842), amortization of premium related to our investment in available for sale marketable securities, the amortization of debt issuance cost associated with our Notes due 2025 and 2029 as well as the contractual interest expenses from our Notes due 2029.
In the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a net income tax expense of $13.4 million, which consists of a $14.2 million current income tax expense and $0.8 million of deferred tax income. In the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a net income tax expense of $96.1 million, which consists of a $16.9 million current income tax expense and a $79.2 million deferred tax income. Our effective tax rate for 2025 was negative 3.5%, compared to negative 5.63% for 2024.
In the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a net income tax expense of $96.2 million, which consists of a $79.2 million of deferred tax expense and $16.9 million current income tax expense. In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a net income tax expense of $46.4 million, which consists of a $89.5 million current income tax expense and a $43.1 million deferred tax income. Our tax rate for 2024 is a negative 6% compared with 57% in 2023. The change in effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, is mainly due our transition to a significant loss position in 2024 and the valuation allowance recorded against the tax benefit of such loss, as well as the valuation allowance booked against deferred tax assets of the company and its subsidiaries from previous years.
The new U.S. administration has identified potential changes to U.S. tax policy, which could include lowering the corporate tax rate, modifying other corporate tax adjustments, or eliminating other deductions, tax credits, or other tax preferences. We continue to monitor how any changes could affect our business.
As of January 2019, our Israeli Subsidiary elected to implement the 2011 and 2017 Amendments starting as of tax year 2019 and as a result, under the PTE regime with respect to our business activities in Israel. Our PTE income was subject to a 12% tax rate in Israel in the years 2019-2021, and in 2022-2023 to a 6% tax rate as we surpassed 10 billion New Israeli Shekel revenues threshold. In 2024,2024 and 2025 the Company incurred losses for tax purposes.
Loss from equity method investments consists of our proportionate share of the net income or loss of equity method investments.
Revenues decreasedincreased by $2,075.1$283.0 million, or 69.7%,31.4%, in the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023,2024, primarily due to (i) aan decreaseincrease of $1,713.9$261.1 million related to aan decreaseincrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) aan decreaseincrease of $187.8$94.9 million related to the number of batteries for PV applications sold, mainly in Europe and the U.S; (iii) a decrease of $81.8$33.5 million in revenues due to the discontinuation of our Energy Storage Business; and (iv) a decrease of $30.4 million in the amount of ancillary solar products sold; and (iv) a decrease of $66.0 million in revenues generated from e-mobility components, related to the discontinuation of the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity. The overall decrease in revenues was due to a decline in demand that began in the second part of the third quarter of 2023. This decline was the result of high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates, leading to substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog, from our distributors.sold.

In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks set forth below and the risk factors
as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31,
2025. 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K/A”) and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Q1 2026 Form 10-Q”). Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the
2025 Form 10-K/A.A and Q1 2026 Form 10-Q.
We depend on the ongoing availability of certain raw materials and components to assemble our products. Since 2025, the United States has imposed significant new tariffs on a broad range of imported products and components and may adopt additional tariffs, trade restrictions or other measures in the future. Although certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were invalidated by the Supreme Court of the United States (the “U.S. Supreme Court”) in February 2026 and subsequently rescinded, other trade measures remain in effect or have been implemented as replacements.
In addition, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, the U.S. Administration imposed a temporary import surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 122”). The surcharge was initially set at 10% ad valorem on substantially all imports, with a statutory ceiling of 15%, subject to carve-outs for certain goods (e.g., electronics and critical minerals) and products qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The surcharge took effect on February 24, 2026, for a maximum period of 150 days. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that the Section 122 proclamation was invalid. This ruling has been appealed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a temporary stay of the ruling pending resolution of the appeal. The evolving legal status and expiration of the Section 122 tariffs create additional uncertainty regarding our tariff exposure and any potential recovery of Section 122 duties paid during the quarter. If the Section 122 proclamation is ultimately held invalid and refund mechanisms are established, we may be eligible to recover some or all the Section 122 that we have paid. However, the outcome of the appeal and the availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds remain uncertain and are subject to further judicial and administrative proceedings.
Most recently, with the expiration of Section 122 tariffs, in July 2026, the U.S. Administration imposed additional tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”) on imports from numerous trading partners, with rates generally ranging from 10% to 12.5%, subject to specified exemptions and exceptions. These tariffs are in addition to existing duties and may apply alongside other trade measures, including Section 301 tariffs applicable to imports from China, tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, antidumping and countervailing duties, and any future tariffs or trade restrictions that may be adopted. As with the Section 122 surcharge discussed above, these Section 301 tariffs may also be subject to legal challenge, and we cannot predict the outcome of any such challenge or its effect on our tariff exposure.
In addition, on July 28, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) updated its “Covered List,” maintained under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act, to include power inverters produced in foreign countries, effective immediately and prospectively for new product authorizations. Under this action, new inverter models that do not qualify as “domestic end products” (as defined under the Buy American Act, 48 C.F.R. § 25.101(a)) are generally prohibited from receiving the FCC equipment authorizations required to import, market, or sell such products in the United States. The FCC’s order applies to new inverter models and certain equipment modifications requiring FCC equipment authorization in the future and generally does not impact products that were authorized by the FCC prior to this order. We believe that SolarEdge inverter products continue to be eligible for sale and installation under the new order. We continuously evaluate the impact of this and other trade restrictions on our business. Inability to comply with such trade restrictions would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Since 2025. the United
States has imposed significant new tariffs on nearly all products and components imported into the United States and could propose additional
tariffs or increases to those already in place.
On February 20, 2026,
the Supreme Court of the United States (the "U.S. Supreme Court") issued a decision invalidating certain tariffs imposed under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The U.S. Supreme Court did not address refunds or remedies but instead remanded the matter to
the Court of International Trade to address remedies. In response, the President issued an executive order rescinding the IEEPA tariffs
and directing agencies to take measures to cease collection of the tariffs. However, a presidential proclamation was issued imposing a
tariff surcharge of at least 10% under the balance of payments provision in Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 on all imports with certain
exceptions. The tariffs under this statute went into effect on February 24, 2026, and will remain in effect for 150 days. The ultimate
impact of these newly enacted and potential future tariffs or other restrictions on international trade will depend on various factors,
including the ultimate level of tariffs, the duration such tariffs remain in place, and how other countries respond to U.S. tariffs. Due
to broad uncertainty regarding the timing, content and extent of any regulatory changes in the United States or abroad, we cannot predict
the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the elimination
of IEEPA tariffs does not eliminate our tariff exposure, as tariffs imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, existing tariffs
under other statutory authorities, and potential new or expanded tariffs may continue to increase our cost of revenue and contribute to
supply chain challenges, cost volatility, and broader economic uncertainty.
We have relocated our
contract manufacturing to the United States, where we manufacture the vast bulk of our products. We continue to manufacture a minor portion
of our products in Israel, at our Sella 1 facility. Certain components and subcomponents necessary for our products are currently required
to be imported from outside the U.S. It is unknown whether and to what extent these tariffs will remain in place or if other new laws
or regulations will be adopted. In addition, retaliatory tariffs may be imposed on products exported from the United States to other countries
in which we sell our products. Due to broad uncertainty regarding the breadth, timing and extent of any regulatory changes related to
trade, in the United States or abroad, we cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have to our business, financial
condition, ability to compete, and the results of operations.
We have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we now manufacture the substantial majority of our products. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel, at our Sella 1 facility. However, certain components and subcomponents necessary for our products continue to be sourced from suppliers outside the United States, and imports of such items may be subject to existing or future tariffs or other trade restrictions. It is unknown whether and to what extent these tariffs will remain in place or if other new laws or regulations will be adopted. In addition, retaliatory measures may be imposed by foreign governments on products exported from the United States to markets in which we sell our products.
The scope, duration and impact of current and future tariffs and trade measures remain uncertain and may increase our cost of revenue, disrupt supply chains, create cost volatility, reduce demand for our products, adversely affect our customers, suppliers, contract manufacturers and other business partners, or impair our ability to compete effectively. Continuing uncertainty regarding trade policy may also cause customers to accelerate, delay or cancel purchases, resulting in sales volatility and fluctuations in operating results.
In particular, if tariffs increase the cost of components imported into the United States, increase the cost of manufacturing our products, or increase the cost of solar power systems generally, solar power systems may become less economically attractive, which could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our gross margins. It is difficult to predict what additional trade-related actions may be taken by the United States or other governments, including further tariff increases, new trade restrictions, or retaliatory measures. Any such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In particular, it is
unknown what effect any such new tariffs or retaliatory actions will have on the solar industry and our customers. The resulting environment
of escalating trade tension, retaliatory trade tension, or other trade actions, restrictive measures, additional trade restrictions, or
barriers, if implemented on a broader range of products or components from outside the United States, or with respect to products shipped
from the United States, could harm our ability to obtain necessary product components or to sell our products at prices customers are
willing to pay, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and cash flows.
Furthermore,
if the price of solar power systems in the United States increases, as well as the cost of manufacturing our products in the United States,
the use of solar power systems could become less economically feasible and could reduce our gross margins or reduce the demand of solar
power systems manufactured and sold, which in turn may decrease demand for our products. Additionally, existing or future tariffs could
negatively affect key partners, suppliers and manufacturers. Such outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenue,
results of operations or cash flows, and continuing uncertainty could cause sales volatility, price fluctuations or supply shortages or
cause our customers to advance or delay their purchase of our products. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions
the U.S. and other governments may take, which may include additional or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, and we may be unable
to quickly and effectively react to such actions. As additional new tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing
trade agreements are renegotiated or if affected countries take retaliatory trade actions, such changes could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In
addition, from November 2023 until October 2025, the Houthis, a rebel Shi’a group in Yemen, attacked international shipping lanes
in the Red Sea, forcing commercial vessels to redirect freight traffic away from the Bab al‑Mandab Strait and the Suez Canal and
take longer and costlier routes. If these attacks resume, continue, or intensify, shipping costs and energy prices may increase, which
could have an adverse impact on our business as well as on the global economy.
In
the second quarter of 2025, Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran engaged in a 12‑day war, which subsequently stabilized due to
a brokered ceasefire. More recently, during Marchthe andfirst Aprilhalf of 2026, Israel was again engaged in direct military conflictconflicts with Iran and in
significant hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Although hostilities have since moderated, it is unknown whether any ceasefires or
periods of relative calm will endure, or whether conflicts involving Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, or other parts of the region may reemerge
or escalate in the future.
Because our headquarters
and a substantial portion of our workforce are based in Israel, these conflicts have impacted, and may continue to impact, the availability
of our workforce. Some of our employees, executive officers, and directors residing in Israel are obligated to perform reserve duty in
the Israeli military and are subject to being called to active duty under emergency circumstances. In the year ended December 31, 2025,
approximately 279 employees, or 13% of our workforce in Israel, and in the firstsecond quarter of 2026, approximately 162179 employees, or 6.8%,
7%, were called to active reserve duty for varying periods, which adversely affected workforce availability. Additional employees may be called
to reserve duty in the future.
While our offices and
facilities worldwide, including in Israel, remain open and, to date, we have not experienced material disruptions to our ability to manufacture
and deliver products and services to customers, any reemergence or escalation of conflicts in Israel or the surrounding region could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations Additionally,
in 2023, the Israeli government announced plans to significantly reduce the Israeli Supreme Court's judicial oversight, including reducing
its ability to strike down legislation that it deems unreasonable, and plans to increase political influence over the selection of judges.
Although the Israeli Supreme Court partially struck down these plans, the current government has vowed to make other changes to law that

Additionally, in 2023, the Israeli government announced plans to significantly reduce the Israeli Supreme Court's judicial oversight, including reducing its ability to strike down legislation that it deems unreasonable, and plans to increase political influence over the selection of judges. Although the Israeli Supreme Court partially struck down these plans, the current government has vowed to make other changes to law that limit the powers of the Supreme Court. If such government plans are eventually enacted, they may cause operational challenges for us since we are headquartered in Israel and many of our employees are located in Israel.
We
rely on distributors and large installers to assist in selling our products, and the failure of these customers to perform as expected
could reduce our future revenues.
Our
customers’ decisions to purchase our products are influenced by several factors outside of our control. The agreements we have with
some of our largest customers do not have long-term purchase commitments and are generally cancellable by either party after a relatively
short notice period. The loss of, or events affecting, one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
In
addition, we do not have exclusive arrangements with our third-party distributors and large installers, many of which also market and
sell products from our competitors. These distributors and large installers may terminate their relationships with us at any time and
with little or no notice. Further, these distributors and large installers may fail to devote resources necessary to sell our products
at the prices, in the volumes, and within the timeframes that we expect, or may focus their marketing and sales efforts on products of
our competitors. Termination of agreements with current distributors or large installers, failure by these distributors or large installers
to perform as expected, or failure by us to cultivate new distributor or large installer relationships, could hinder our ability to expand
our operations and could negatively impact our revenue and results of operations.
In recent years, with
a downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs
of financial distress. For example, in November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in the Southern District of Texas, and, in April 2026, Freedom Forever LLC, another customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy in Delaware. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial
distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. Certain receivables related to previously
identified customer defaults, have been written off in 2025, and others, such as receivables from Freedom Forever, have not been recognized,
and therefore, are not expected to materially affect our current financial results. However, an additional doubtful debt was recognized
by the Company in the first quarter of 2026, and there can be no assurance that additional customer failures or payment defaults will
not occur. If additional customers, installers and distributors become insolvent or financially distressed, or if some of their
customers fail to pay our distributors for products sold by such distributors, we may need to write off additional amounts, which may
cause a material adverse effect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

A
prolonged softness in demand in the global market for PV products has continued to adversely impact the solar industry. Additionally,
uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade restrictions and policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may contribute to growing market
volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. Despite a prolonged softness
in demand, in the first half of 2026, we have seen an increase in salessales, duemainly toof moreour normalizedC&I channel inventory.products. Additionally, in the attachmentsecond ratequarter of batteries

We expect the softness in demand for PV products to continue in the third quarter and there can be no assurance that our sales will continue to increase or will not decrease.
In
August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the IRA, which contains several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption
of clean energy such as solar, wind, hydrogen and electric vehicles and therefore had positive impacts on our business and operations
along with the overall U.S. solar market. Some of the applicable provisions in the IRA that are positively impactingimpact the market for renewable
energy include the extension ofSection 48E, the tech-neutral investment tax credit ITC,("ITC"), and 45Y, the tech-neutralproduction PTC.tax credit ("PTC"). The IRA includes incentives
for residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of ITCs for qualifying energy projects of up to 30%
with a potential to gain further bonus credits such as through the utilization of Domestic Content. Section 45X of the IRA offers advanced
manufacturing production credits (“AMPTCs”), that incentivize the production of eligible components within the United States.
In light of such incentives, we established manufacturing capabilities in the United States starting in 2023 and further expanded such
capabilities in 20242024, 2025 and 2025.2026. On October 24, 2024, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and the U.S. Department
of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) issued a Notice of Proposed Rule followed by a Final Rule that became effective on December
27, 2024, concerning the application of Section 45X which contain details concerning eligibility, qualifying and accounting for AMPTCs
for components produced and sold after December 31, 2022. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate
as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized
Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. In 2024 and 2025, and continuing into 2026, we sold a significant part of the AMPTCs that we generated
from our U.S. production of eligible components.
H.R.1
accelerates the phase-out timeline for certain credits, eliminates the 25D individual homeowner credit, and imposes new eligibility criteria.
Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit ("ITC") and production tax credit ("PTC") under Sections
48E and 45Y of the Code, used by customers of SolarEdge who are engaged in third-party ownership (“TPO”) models, such as residential
solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027.
However, H.R.1 also includesincluded a 12-month period in which such customers canwho beginbegan construction givingwere themgiven four years to complete their
projects through the end of 2030. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment (July 4, 2026) of H.R.1 must be placed in service
by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 eliminated the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the
end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively
affect the overall demand for our products.
On August 15, 2025, the Treasury and the IRS released Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R.1 related to the beginning of construction requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method (still allowing projects equal to or less than 1.5 MW to continue using it), it kept in place the physical work test method for all projects.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R.1 related to the PFE rules enacted in H.R.1. Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credits material assistance calculations and its customers' 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the PFE requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers' eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations, cash flows, gross margins and profits.
Trade and Tariff Uncertainties
The current trade environment continues to create uncertainty regarding the impact of tariffs, trade restrictions and retaliatory measures on our business, the solar industry, our suppliers, and our customers.
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (the “U.S. Supreme Court”) invalidated certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Following the decision and subsequent actions by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), we became eligible to claim refunds of previously paid IEEPA-related duties. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received and recognized refunds and associated interest of $13.6 million from CBP related to tariffs paid during fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026, of which $13.3 million was recognized as a reduction to cost of revenues and $0.3 million was recognized as interest income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Our remaining claims are subject to CBP review and processing, and we cannot provide assurance regarding the amount or timing of any additional refunds.
In addition, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, the U.S. Administration imposed a temporary import surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 122”). The surcharge was initially set at 10% ad valorem on substantially all imports, with a statutory ceiling of 15%, subject to carve-outs for certain goods (e.g., electronics and critical minerals) and products qualifying under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The surcharge took effect on February 24, 2026, for a maximum period of 150 days. On May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that the Section 122 proclamation was invalid. This ruling has been appealed, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a temporary stay of the ruling pending resolution of the appeal. The evolving legal status and expiration of the Section 122 tariffs create additional uncertainty regarding our tariff exposure and any potential recovery of Section 122 duties paid. If the Section 122 proclamation is ultimately held invalid and refund mechanisms are established, we may be eligible to recover some or all of the Section 122 duties we paid. However, the outcome of the appeal and the availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds remain uncertain and are subject to further judicial and administrative proceedings.
Although the IEEPA tariffs were invalidated, our tariff exposure has not been eliminated. During July 2026, the United States imposed additional tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”) on imports from numerous trading partners, generally ranging from 10% to 12.5% and subject to specified exceptions and exemptions. These tariffs are in addition to existing tariff measures, including certain Section 301 tariffs applicable to imports from China. Other trade-related duties may also affect the products, components and raw materials used in our business.
On July 28, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) updated its “Covered List,” maintained under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act, to include power inverters produced in foreign countries, effective immediately and prospectively for new product authorizations. Under this action, new inverter models that do not qualify as “domestic end products” (as defined under the Buy American Act, 48 C.F.R. § 25.101(a)) are generally prohibited from receiving the FCC equipment authorizations required to import, market, or sell such products in the United States. The FCC’s order applies to new inverter models and certain equipment modifications requiring FCC equipment authorization in the future and generally does not impact products that were authorized by the FCC prior to this order. We believe that SolarEdge inverter products continue to be eligible for sale and installation under the new order.
On
August 15, 2025, the Treasury and the IRS released Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R.1 related to beginning of construction
requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method (still
allowing projects equal to or less than 1.5 MW to continue using it), but kept in place the physical work test method for all projects.
On
February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R. 1 related
to the PFE rules enacted in H.R.1. Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing
safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions
related to the Company’s 45X Credits material assistance calculations and its customers' 48E material assistance calculation among
other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed
Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the PFE requirements or
to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers
eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations, cash flows, gross margins and
profits.
We have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we now manufacture the substantial majority of our products. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel at our Sella 1 facility. Certain components and subcomponents used in our products continue to be sourced from suppliers outside the United States, including from China. Consequently, our cost structure may be affected by existing or future tariffs and other trade measures, including trade restriction orders. In addition, retaliatory measures imposed by other countries on products exported from the United States could adversely affect our international sales. In response to the evolving trade environment, we continue to evaluate and adjust our supply chain and sourcing strategies, including efforts to diversify suppliers and reduce tariff exposure where economically and operationally feasible. However, there can be no assurance that such efforts will fully mitigate the impact of current or future tariffs, trade restrictions or other trade-related measures, and any resulting increases in costs, supply chain disruptions or reductions in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Trade
Tariff Uncertainties
The
current trade situation is creating uncertainty about what impact new or existing tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory actions may
have on us, the solar industry, our partners, and our customers.
On
February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States (the "U.S. Supreme Court") issued a decision invalidating certain tariffs imposed
under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Following this ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an
order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to establish a process for the submission and review of refund
claims related to affected IEEPA tariffs. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched an online portal through which companies may submit IEEPA tariff
refund requests. Such claims are subject CBP review and validation, and the approval, timing, and amount of any refunds remain subject
to CBP determination. As a result of this ruling, we may be eligible to receive tariff refunds. However, the realization of any such refunds
remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that any amounts will ultimately be received. In addition, following the U.S. Supreme
Court’s decision, the Administration announced the imposition of new global tariffs of up to 15% under Section 122 of the Trade
Act of 1974.
We
have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we manufacture the vast bulk of our products. We continue to manufacture
a minor portion of our products in Israel at our Sella 1 facility. Certain critical subcomponents for our products are still sourced from
outside the United States. If not resolved, the escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions
or other retaliatory measures on our products or components or subcomponents originating from countries outside of the United States,
could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components or subcomponents, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell
our products at prices customers are willing to pay. In addition, retaliatory measures from other countries on products originating from
the United States for export could adversely impact our ability to sell our products at competitive prices in such countries. Certain
of the subcomponents used in our products are being imported to the United States from China, which may be subject to significantly increased
tariffs. In light of the aforementioned, we continue to adjust our supply chains and are exploring alternative suppliers outside of China,
however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in identifying suitable alternatives, or that such alternatives, if identified,
will not result in increased costs or reduced operational efficiency.
Due
to the war in Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, followed by additional military conflicts with Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon during
2024, 2025 and the first quarterhalf of 2026, some of our employees in Israel were called to active reserve duty and additional employees
may be called in the future, if needed. In the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, approximately 6.8%7% of our employees in Israel were called
to active reserve duty for varying periods. Despite the ceasefire framework agreed between Israel, Hamas, the United States and other
countries in the region and the moderation of the hostilities involving Israel, Iran, Yemen and Lebanon, it is unknown whether any ceasefires
or periods of relative calm will endure, or if other conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, or in the broader region will reemerge or
escalate in the future.
