Previous wording

In the third quarter of 2020, we began commercial shipments from our manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, “Sella 1”. The proximity of Sella 1 to our R&D team and labs enables us to accelerate new product development cycles, as well as define equipment and manufacturing processes of newly developed products which can then be adopted by our contract manufacturers worldwide. In May 2022, we opened “Sella 2”,our own manufacturing facility for Li-Ion cells, in Korea. Sella 2 currently has a 2GWh capacity. Sella 2 began producing and shipping cells at the end of 2022 and is expected to gradually increase manufacturing capacity during 2024. In light of the Inflation Reduction Act 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 product with domestic content, as well as by incentivizing local manufacturing of our products, we have begun manufacturing inverters in Texas and are currently establishing additional manufacturing capabilities in Florida for optimizers and inverters. With the ramp up of these new sites and due to a decrease in demand for our products, we have reduced capacity in our manufacturing site in China and discontinued manufacturing of our products in Mexico. As of March 31, 2024, we shipped approximately 126.2 million power optimizers,5.6 million inverters and 259.6 thousand residential batteries. Over 3.8 million installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud-based monitoring platform. As of March 31, 2024, we shipped approximately 53.6 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 1.8 GWh of our batteries for PV applications.

Previous wording

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. This was a result of slowed market demand in the third quarter of 2023 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 thechannels and slower than expected installation rates both in the United States and Europe. This trend continued in the following quarters. Additionally, the Company anticipates a continued lower level of revenues in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter last year, as the inventory destocking process continues.

Due to the war that began on October 7, 2023, approximately 10% of our employees in Israel were called to active reserve duty and additional employees may be called in the future, if needed. About 75% of these employees have returned to work, though recruitments for additional reserve duties may and have reoccurred. While our offices and facilities are open worldwide, including in Israel, and, to date, we have not had disruptions to our ability to manufacture and deliver products and services to customers, a prolonged war or an escalation of the current conditions in Israel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the recency of these events, and their ongoing and evolving nature, the extent of the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown.

Previous wording

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 that incentivize the production of eligible components within the U.S. To that end, we established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023 and announced additional capacity expected during 2024. These provisions of the law are new and regulations and guidance concerning their implementation are gradually being published by the U.S. Treasury Department. We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers. To the extent that tax benefits or credits may be available to competing technology and not to our technology, our business could be adversely disadvantaged.

Previous wording

Our blended Average Selling Price (“ASP”) per watt for solar products excluding batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing the solar revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of batteries for PV applications, by the nameplate capacity of inverters shipped. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products decreased by $0.049, or 22%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to price reduction across our product offerings, a relatively lower number of power optimizers and other solar products shipped compared to the number of inverters shipped, leading to an overall reduction in our ASP per watt as well as due to an increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized by lower ASP per watt, out of our total solar product mix. This decrease in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by an increase in the sale of products with enhanced capabilities, such as the SolarEdge energy hub inverter, that are characterized with higher ASP per watt.

Current wording

Our blended ASP per watt for solar products excluding batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing the sales of solar products, excluding the sales of batteries for PV applications, by the name plate capacity of inverters shipped. Our blended ASP per watt for solar products shipped excluding batteries for PV applications increased by $0.026, or 13.8%, in the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to a significantly higher number of power optimizers and other solar products shipped compared to the number of inverters shipped. This increase in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by an additional price reduction we initiated in the second quarter and an increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized by lower ASP per watt, out of our total solar product mix.

Previous wording

Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing batteries for PV applications revenues, by the nameplate capacity of batteries for PV applications shipped. Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications decreased by$0.092, or 19.4%, in thethree months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to thethree months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt/hour is mainly attributed toprice reduction of our batteries for PV applications. This decrease in ASP per watt/hour was partially offset by an increase in the sale of our one-phase battery that is sold at a higher ASP per watt/hour.

Current wording

Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications is calculated by dividing batteries for PV applications sales, by the nameplate capacity of batteries for PV applications shipped. Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications decreased by $0.108, or 22.7%, in the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt/hour is mainly attributed to a price reduction of our batteries for PV applications. This decrease in ASP per watt/hour was partially offset by an increase in the sale of our one-phase battery that is sold at a higher ASP per watt/hour.

Revenues decreased by $1,465.4 million, or 75.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $1,224.0 million related to a decrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) a decrease of $165.4 million related to the lower number of batteries for PV applications sold, primarily in Europe; (iii) a decrease of $45.4 million related to less ancillary solar products sold; and (iv) a decrease of $43.7 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 the decline in demand that began in the third quarter of 2023. This decline was the result of high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates beginning in the third quarter of 2023, leading to substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog, from our distributors.

Our blended ASP per watt for solar products shipped excluding batteries for PV applications decreased by $0.011, or 5.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to price reduction as well as an increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized by lower ASP per watt. This decrease in blended ASP per watt was partially offset by a relatively higher number of power optimizers shipped compared to the number of inverters shipped.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Our blended ASP per watt/hour for batteries for PV applications decreased by $0.101, or 21.1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in blended ASP per watt/hour is mainly attributed to price reduction of our batteries for PV applications. This decrease in ASP per watt/hour was partially offset by an increase in the sale of our one-phase battery that is sold at a higher ASP per watt/hour.
