NOTE 1:-GENERAL

a.SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries design, develop, and sell an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual photovoltaic (“PV”) module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers designed to maximize energy throughput from each and every module of a solar PV system through constant tracking of Maximum Power Point individually per module, (ii) inverters which invert direct current (DC) from the PV module to alternating current (AC), (iii) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters of a solar PV system to enable customers and system owners as applicable, to monitor and manage the applicable solar PV system and (iv) a storage solution that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners by utilizing a battery that is sold separately by third party manufacturers, to store and supply power as needed.

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

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

b.Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

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

c.Recently issued and adopted pronouncements:

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

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

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

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

d.Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging (see Note 6), the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (see Note 7) and ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" (see Note 8).

e.Concentrations of supply risks:

The Company depends on two contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers. Reliance on these vendors makes the Company vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs. These two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 47.4% and 42.3% of the Company’s trade payables as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 1:-GENERAL (Cont.)

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

f.Use of estimates:

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

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