NOTE
1
 — GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Ormat Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do
not
contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of
March 31, 2018,
the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the
three
-month periods ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017
and the consolidated cash flows for the
three
-month periods ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017.
 
The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the
three
-month period ended
March 31, 2018
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 
31,
2018.
 
These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 
10
-K/A for the year ended
December 
31,
2017.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of
December 
31,
2017
was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 
31,
2017,
but does
not
include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
 
Dollar amounts, except per share data, in the notes to these financial statements are rounded to the closest
$1,000.
 
Revision of previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements
 
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form
10
-K/A as of and for the year ended
December 31 2017,
filed on
June 19, 2018,
the Company restated its previously issued
2017
financial statements due to the subsequent identification of material tax errors.
 
The Company also identified other tax errors in the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017,
including a prior period tax error for an unrecognized tax benefit related to intercompany interest. The Company assessed the materiality of these errors in accordance with the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic
1.Materiality,
codified in ASC Topic
250,
 Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASC
250”
), and concluded that such previously issued financial statements were
not
materially misstated. However, in connection with the fiscal
2017
restatement, the Company determined that it would revise such previously issued financial statements to correct for these errors. As a result, the revised financial statements for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
reflect a
$0.1
million increase in the income tax provision, with a corresponding decrease in net income and comprehensive income, and a
$1.7
million decrease to total equity as of
January 1, 2017
to correct for immaterial tax errors originating prior to
2017.
 
The effects of the revision on the line items within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
are as follows:

Migdal Senior Unsecured Loan
 
On
March 22, 2018
the Company entered into a definitive loan agreement (the "Migdal Loan Agreement") with Migdal Insurance Company Ltd., Migdal Makefet Pension and Provident Funds Ltd. and Yozma Pension Fund of Self Employed Ltd., all entities within the Migdal Group, a leading insurance company and institutional investor in Israel. The Migdal Loan Agreement provides for a loan by the lenders to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of
$100
million (the “Migdal Loan”). The Migdal Loan will be repaid in
15
semi-annual payments of
$4.2
million each, commencing on
September 15, 2021,
with a final payment of
$37
million on
March 15, 2029.
The Migdal Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of
4.8%
per annum, payable semi-annually, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described below.
 
The Migdal Loan is subject to early redemption by the Company prior to maturity from time to time (but
not
more frequently than once per quarter) and at any time in whole or in part, at a redemption price set forth in the Migdal Loan Agreement. If the rating of the Company is downgraded to "ilA-", by Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings Maalot Ltd. (“Maalot”), the interest rate applicable to the Migdal Loan will be increased by
0.50%.
If the rating of the Company is further downgraded to a lower level, the interest rate applicable to the Migdal Loan will be increased by
0.25%
for each additional downgrade. In
no
event will the cumulative increase in the interest rate applicable to the Migdal Loan exceed
1%
regardless of the cumulative rating downgrade. A subsequent upgrade or reinstatement of a rating by Maalot will reduce the interest rate applicable to the Migdal Loan by
0.25%
for each upgrade (but in
no
event will the interest rate applicable the Migdal Loan fall below the base interest rate of
4.8%
). Additionally, if the ratio between short-term and long-term debt to financial institutions and bondholders, deducting cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA is equal to or higher than
4.5,
the interest rate on all amounts then outstanding under the Migdal Loan shall be increased by
0.5%
per annum over the interest rate then-applicable to the Migdal Loan.
 
The Migdal Loan constitutes senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, and effectively junior to any existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the security therefore.
 
The Migdal Loan Agreement includes various affirmative and negative covenants, including a covenant that the Company maintain (i) a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio below
6,
(ii) a minimum equity amount (as shown on its consolidated financial statements, excluding noncontrolling interests) of
not
less than
$650
million, and (iii) an equity attributable to Company's stockholders to total assets ratio of
not
less than
25%.
In addition, the Migdal Loan Agreement restricts the Company from making dividend payments if its equity falls below
$800
million and otherwise restricts dividend payments in any
one
year to
not
more than
50%
of the net income of the Company of such year as shown on the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements as long as any of the Company's bonds issued in Israel prior to
March 27, 2018
remain outstanding. The Migdal Loan Agreement includes other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
 
Other comprehensive income
 
For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017,
the Company classified
$5,000
and
$2,000,
respectively, related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which
$9,000
and
$3,000,
respectively, were recorded to reduce interest expense and
$4,000
and
$1,000,
respectively, were recorded against the income tax provision, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The accumulated net loss included in Other comprehensive income as of
March 31, 2018,
is
$0.6
million.
 
Write-offs of unsuccessful exploration activities
 
Write-offs of unsuccessful exploration activities for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
were
$0.1
million. There were
no
write-offs of unsuccessful exploration activities for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017.

Concentration of credit risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.
 
The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions located in the United States and in foreign countries. At
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017,
the Company had deposits totaling
$20.3
million and
$21.2
million, respectively, in
eight
U.S. financial institutions that were federally insured up to
$250,000
per account. At
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017,
the Company’s deposits in foreign countries amounted to approximately
$47.3
million and
$32.8
million, respectively.
 
At
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017,
accounts receivable related to operations in foreign countries amounted to approximately
$73.3
million and
$78.1
million, respectively. At
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017,
accounts receivable from the Company’s primary customers amounted to approximately
59%
and
57%
of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively.
 
Sierra Pacific Power Company and Nevada Power Company (subsidiaries of NV Energy, Inc.) accounted for
17.4%
and
18.8%
of the Company’s total revenues for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively.
 
Southern California Public Power Authority (“SCPPA”) accounted for
16.3%
and
9.0%
of the Company’s total revenues for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively.
 
Kenya Power and Lighting Co. Ltd. accounted for
15.1%
and
14.3%
of the Company’s total revenues for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively.
 
The Company has historically been able to collect on substantially all of its receivable balances, and believes it will continue to be able to collect all amounts due. Accordingly,
no
provision for doubtful accounts has been made.
