Current report

Following the sale of Automation Machines and the discontinuation of the Energy Storage activity in 2024, the Company now operates as one operating segment, the Solar segment, that constitutes consolidated results.

Current report

The current trade situation is creating uncertainty about what the impacts new or existing tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory actions may have on us, the solar industry, our partners, and our customers. In the last two and a half years, we have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States. However, 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 originating from countries outside of the United States, or from the United States, could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell our products at prices customers are willing to pay. Certain of the components 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 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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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 in the future. This potential loss of financial support could adversely impact our business, and potentially the overall financial performance of the Company.

Current report

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 benefits from AMPTCs of $82,946 and $80,516, respectively, were recorded as a tax prepayment within prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Current report

Cost of revenues decreased by $28.6 million, or 12.4%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to:

Current report

General and administrative expenses have decreased by $0.7 million, or 2.2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a net reversal of doubtful debt in the amount of $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to an expense of $3.0 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, mainly related to collection of doubtful debt.

Current report

Other income, net increased by $0.1 million, or 100.0%, in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to gain from the repurchase of convertible notes, in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Current report

Income taxes were $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to tax benefits in the amount of $23.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a valuation allowance of the deferred tax assets on our current losses, withholding taxes paid on certain intra-group interest payments and additional tax payable as a result of a settlement with the Israeli Tax Authority for tax years 2016-2018.

Current report

Net loss from equity method investments slightly decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Current report

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, we started to sell AMPTCs. We plan to pursue additional tax credit transfer agreements in the future.

Current report

In March 2025 the Company repurchased $5,250 principal amount of its Notes 2025. The Company recorded a net gain of $146 thousands under other income, from this repurchase.
Removed paragraphs (57)

Previous report

The Company identified two reportable segments: the Solar segment and Energy Storage segment. The Solar segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of its DC optimized inverter solutions designed to maximize power generation at the PV module level and batteries for PV applications. The Solar segment solution consists mainly of the Company’s power optimizers, inverters, batteries and cloud‑based monitoring platform. The Energy Storage segment includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of high-energy, high-power, lithium-ion cells and BESS solutions for the C&I and Utility markets. The Energy Storage segment provides purpose-built components and solutions, hardware and software, as well as pre and post sales engineering support to design, build, and manage battery and system solutions according to the customer’s use cases and mission profiles. The “All other” category includes the design, development, manufacturing and sales of e-Mobility products (in prior periods) and automated machines.

Previous report

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $730.7 million and $2,660.5 million, respectively. Gross loss was 101.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to our gross margin of 28.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,493.5 million compared to our net income in the amount of $196.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

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. In 2022, rising global interest in becoming less dependent on gas and oil led to higher demand for our products. The conflict adversely affected the prices of raw materials arriving from Eastern Asia and resulted in an increase in gas and oil prices. Furthermore, various shipment routes were adversely impacted by the conflict resulting in increased shipment lead times and shipping costs for our products. While the impact of this conflict continued to decrease in 2024, a change or escalation of this ongoing conflict could increase the impacts from the circumstances described above and may lead to an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Previous report

We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers and the domestic content tax credit bonus that provides incentives for project owners.

Previous report

Revenues decreased by $464.4 million, or 64.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $416.5 million related to a decrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) a decrease of $22.1 million in revenues generated in 2023 from e-mobility components, related to the discontinuation of the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity; and (iii) a decrease of $14.6 million related to less ancillary solar products sold. 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.

Previous report

Revenues decreased by $1,929.8 million, or 72.5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $1,640.5 million related to a decrease in the number of inverters and power optimizers sold; (ii) a decrease of $167.7 million related to the lower number of batteries for PV applications sold, primarily in Europe; (iii) a decrease of $65.9 million in revenues generated from e-mobility components, related to the discontinuation of the Company’s LCV e-Mobility activity; and (iv) a decrease of $60.0 million related to less ancillary solar products sold. The overall decrease in revenues was due to the 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.

Previous report

Revenues from outside of the U.S. comprised 60.2% of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 75.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

The number of power optimizers recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 10.4 million units, or 68.0%, from approximately 15.3 million units, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to approximately 4.9 million units in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The number of inverters recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 742.0 thousand units, or 79.6%, from approximately 932.4 thousand units in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately 190.4 thousand units in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The megawatts hour of batteries for PV applications recognized as revenues decreased by approximately 215.2 megawatts hour, or 33.4% from approximately 643.6 megawatts hour in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to approximately 428.4 megawatts hour in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as a result of lower demand.

Previous report

Our blended ASP per watt for solar products shipped excluding batteries for PV applications increased by $0.005, or 2.9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in blended ASP per watt is mainly attributed to a 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 price reduction as well as an increase in the sale of commercial products that are characterized by lower ASP per watt, out of our total solar product mix.

Previous report

Cost of revenues increased by $380.7 million, or 65.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in inventory write-down accruals of $642.4 million related to the slowdown in our products demand, and excess inventory in our channels, the repeated price reductions and the introduction of a new generation of our products, which was partially offset by:

As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was $1,205.3 million and $61.2 million, respectively.

Previous report

In October 2023, we decided to discontinue our LCV e-Mobility activity and the remaining e-Mobility activity is included under the solar segment starting January 1, 2024. Following the discontinuation of its e-Mobility LCV activity, the Company operates in three different operating segments: Solar, Energy Storage and Automation Machines. We have identified two operating segments as reportable – the Solar and the Energy Storage segments. The other operating segments are insignificant individually, and therefore, their results are presented together under “All other.”

Previous report

We do not allocate our operating segments revenue recognized due to advance payments received for performance obligations that extend for a period greater than one year (“financing component”), related to accounting standard codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("ASC 606").

Reworded paragraphs (30)

Previous wording

We develop, manufacture and sell products in a solar segment that addresses 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, as well as products in our non-solar businesses including lithium-ion cells, batteries and energy storage systems, which are part of our Energy Storage Segment as well as 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 light commercial vehicle ("LCV") e-Mobility activity. The remaining e-mobility activity, which includes PV applications, has been included under the solar segment starting January 1, 2024.

Current wording

We develop, manufacture and sell products in a solar segment that addresses a broad range of energy market segments through our diversified product offering, including residential, commercial and large scale photovoltaic or PV, home energy management, grid services and virtual power plants. In prior years, we also had product offerings for the e-mobility market, automation machines (“Automation Machines”) and energy storage. In October 2023, we decided to discontinue our light commercial vehicle (“LCV”), e-Mobility activity. 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 its focus on its core activities.

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. 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 began manufacturing inverters in Texas and reached full capacity there during the third quarter of 2024. We are also currently expanding additional manufacturing capabilities in G, for optimizers and inverters. With the manufacturing capabilities of these new sites and due to a decrease in demand for our products, we have reduced capacity in all of our manufacturing sites outside of the U.S. As of September 30, 2024, we shipped approximately 130.0 million power optimizers, 5.7 million inverters and 303.3 thousand batteries for PV applications. Over 4.1 million installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud-based monitoring platform. As of September 30, 2024, we shipped approximately 55.3 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 2.1 GWh of our batteries for PV applications.

Current wording

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 manufacture single phase inverters in Texas and optimizers in Florida. We are also currently increasing our manufacturing of three-phase inverters in Florida and batteries in Utah. With the ramp-up of new sites and as part of an effort to centralize and improve operational activity, we have discontinued manufacturing in China, Mexico, and Hungary. We continue to maintain manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam with a third-party manufacturer. As of March 31, 2025, we shipped approximately 134.3 million power optimizers, 5.9 million inverters and 346.9 thousand batteries for PV applications. Over 4.3 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, 2025, we shipped approximately 57.4 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems and approximately 2.4 GWh of our batteries for PV applications.

Previous wording

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $260.9 million and $725.3 million, respectively,. Gross loss was 269.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to our gross margin of 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $1,205.3 million and $61.2 million, respectively.

Current wording

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $219.5 million and $204.4 million, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 8.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to gross loss as a percentage of revenue of 12.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net loss was $98.5 million and $157.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

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 push outs to high inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates both in the United States and Europe. This trend continued in the subsequent quarters. Additionally, the Company anticipates a continued lower level of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2024 when compared to the same quarter last year, as the inventory destocking process continues.

Current wording

We have seen a slowdown in demand for our products from our direct customers since the second part of the third quarter of 2023, throughout 2024 and into 2025. This was a result of slowed market demand beginning in the third quarter of 2023 and persisting throughout 2024 and into 2025, 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, mostly 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. The slowdown continued in the subsequent quarters of 2023, throughout 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

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. In the three months ended September 30, approximately 10% of our employees in Israel have been called to active reserve duty for varying periods. 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 condition in Israel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the ongoing and evolving nature, and the extent of these events, the adverse effect on our business operations is still unknown.

Current wording

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. In the three months ended March 31, 2025 approximately 5% of our employees in Israel have been called to active reserve duty for varying periods. 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. Although the situation is somewhat stabilized due to ceasefires between Israel and Hezbollah, an escalation of the current 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.

Previous wording

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, hurricanes, storms, tornadoes, 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.

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 ("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.

We use metrics relating to shipments of inverters, power optimizers and megawatts to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products.

Previous wording

We provide the “megawatts shipped” and “megawatts hour 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.
