SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in “Item 1. Business,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology developments, new products and services, financing and investment plans, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, effects of acquisitions, growth opportunities, and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.

Forward-looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking and other statements regarding our sustainability efforts and aspirations are not an indication that these statements are necessarily material to investors or requiring disclosure in our filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve and assumptions that are subject to change in the future, including future rule-making. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this filing. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include those discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including:

•future demand for renewable energy including solar energy solutions;
•our ability to forecast demand for our products accurately and to match production to such demand as well as our customers' ability to forecast demand based on inventory levels;
•macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, as well as inflation concerns, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns;
•the retail price of electricity derived from the utility grid or alternative energy sources;
•interest rates and supply of capital in the global financial markets in general and in the solar market specifically;
•competition, including introductions of power optimizer, inverter and solar photovoltaic (“PV”) system monitoring products by our competitors;

•our dependence upon a small number of outside contract manufacturers and limited or single source suppliers;
•capacity constraints, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs of our contract manufacturers and availability of components;
•disruption in our global supply chain and rising prices of oil and raw materials as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine;
•performance of distributors and large installers in selling our products;
•consolidation in the solar industry among our customers and distributors;
•our ability to manage effectively the growth of our organization and expansion into new markets;
•Our ability to recognize expected benefits from restructuring plans
•any unauthorized access to, disclosure, or theft of personal information or unauthorized access to our network or other similar cyber incidents;
•our ability to integrate acquired businesses;
•disruption to our business operations due to the evolving state of war in Israel and political conditions related to the Israeli government's plans to significantly reduce the Israeli Supreme Court's judicial oversight;
•our dependence on ocean transportation to timely deliver our products in a cost-effective manner;
•fluctuations in global currency exchange rates;
•the impact of evolving legal and regulatory requirements related to emerging environmental, social and governance requirements;
•existing and future responses to and effects of pandemics, epidemics or other health crises;
•changes to net metering policies or the reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies and economic incentives for on-grid solar energy applications;
•federal, state, and local regulations governing the electric utility industry with respect to solar energy;
•changes in tax laws, tax treaties, and regulations or the interpretation of them, including the Inflation Reduction Act;
•changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs;
•our ability to maintain our brand and to protect and defend our intellectual property;

•our ability to service our debt; and
•the other factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of our forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
