ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Current report

National, state and local government bodies in many countries, including the United States, have provided incentives in the form of rebates, tax credits, feed-in tariffs and others to manufacturers, system owners, distributors and installers of PV systems and battery energy storage systems.

Current report

In August 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, certain incentives, including certain tax credits, for solar energy, that are significant to the Company and its U.S. based customers. On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted into law, introducing amendments to clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The H.R.1 accelerates the phase-out timeline for our customers' tax credits and imposes new eligibility criteria for the Company and our customers.

Current report

The Company has invested significant resources in establishing our manufacturing presence in the U.S. to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, including tax credits available to us for manufacturing in the U.S. and tax credits available to certain of our U.S. customers. The Company established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023 and further expanded such capabilities in 2024 and 2025. Moreover, we incorporate into our financial planning and agreements with our customers and suppliers certain assumptions regarding U.S. tax incentives. Material changes thereto could adversely affect our revenue, our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial condition.

Current report

Section 45X of the Code, as enacted by the IRA, offers AMPTCs that incentivize the manufacturing of eligible components within the U.S. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. H.R.1 preserved the length of the term of such AMPTCs.

Current report

Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit and production tax credit under Section 48E and 45Y of the Code, available to the Company’s customers, who are engaged in TPO models, such as residential solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027. H.R.1 also includes a 12-month window in which such customers can begin construction, giving them four years to complete their projects. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment of H.R.1 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 also amended the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects: projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025 must meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%, must meet a 50% threshold from and after January 1, 2026, and the threshold thereafter increases by 5% on an annual basis until 2029. H.R.1 eliminated the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively affect the overall demand for our products.

Current report

H.R.1 has also introduced new FEOC requirements including for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. These restrictions will require threshold percentages of non-FEOC material assistance that increase over time, for projects that begin on or after January 1, 2026. On July 7, 2025, the President issued an Executive Order titled “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources.” In response, on August 15, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department released IRS Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R. 1 related to beginning of construction requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method, it kept in place the offsite physical work test method for all size projects.

Current report

On February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R.1 related to the Prohibited Foreign Entity rules (PFE) enacted in H.R. 1..Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credit material assistance calculations and its customers 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the FEOC requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations and cash flows.

Current report

We expect that the AMPTCs will be phased out by the end of 2031. Reductions in AMPTCs, without an offsetting reduction in our manufacturing costs, would adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows, and have an adverse impact on our gross margin, which may include transitioning into a gross loss. Such reductions may cause us to consider modifying the geographical footprint of our manufacturing to reduce our costs, which would require significant resources of the Company, and could adversely affect our competitiveness, business and financial condition.

Current report

The U.S. Administration and to a lesser extent, portions of the European Union, have expressed a prioritization of fossil fuels over renewable energy. For example, in Germany there is a discussion regarding the possibility of reducing small residential customer’s feed-in tariffs. If successful, certain of these legislative actions could further slow the solar market potentially resulting in adverse effects on overall demand for our products, impacts to our revenue, operations and cash flows.

Current report

Changes in our geographic footprint or product and service offerings may subject us to additional business, operational, financial, competitive, and compliance risks.

Current report

Throughout the last years, we have divested from certain businesses and markets in order to focus on our core business. In October 2023, the Company decided to discontinue its LCV e-Mobility activity. In November 2024, the Company decided to discontinue its Energy Storage business related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our Sella2 location in South Korea in order to focus on the Company's core solar business. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, we sold our last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. In April 2025, we divested from our PV tracker business, as part of our effort to focus on our core activities. Our divestiture from any market or business has costs, could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Our divestiture from any geographic markets may involve significant operational, legal, and financial risks. Decisions to discontinue operations in a region—whether due to unfavorable regulatory changes, sustained decreases in demand, macroeconomic deterioration, or shifts in strategic priorities could result in the loss of established customer relationships, impairment of long‑lived assets, and increased costs associated with contract terminations, workforce reductions, or regulatory compliance. Additionally, withdrawal from a market may adversely affect our brand reputation, limit future growth opportunities in that region, and increase the complexity of managing our global operations, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

Changing political and geopolitical conditions could adversely impact our business, our financial results, and the global energy market.

Current report

Changes in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell, or distribute our products, as well as changing geopolitical conditions, may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business, operations, and financial results. Results of elections, referendums, the implementation of trade restrictions, sanctions or other political processes and pressures in certain markets in which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed have created and could continue to create uncertainty regarding how existing governmental policies, laws and regulations may change, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, import and export controls and the general movement of goods, materials, services, capital, data and people between countries. The potential implications of such uncertainty, which include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations, variability, and unpredictability in trade relations such as U.S. trade relations, new or increased tariffs, trade barriers and market contraction, could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Current report

In the year ended December 31, 2023, we impaired tangible assets including machinery and inventory write-off related to our e-Mobility business. In the year ending December 31, 2024 we impaired goodwill and intangible assets and inventory write-off relating to our and Energy Storage Division. In the year ending December 31, 2025, we impaired our e-Mobility and Energy Storage held-for-sale assets to its fair value and did not impair any goodwill or intangible assets. Any future impairment charges could have a negative impact on our operating results and related financial statements.

Current report

Our products and services involve the storage, handling, and transmission of proprietary and other sensitive information. Malicious software such as viruses, software bugs, theft, misuse, defects, vulnerabilities in our products and services, as well as cyber attacks, phishing schemes, and other types of security breaches expose us to a risk of loss or improper use and disclosure of such information, which could result in litigation and other potential liabilities, including regulatory fines and penalties, as well as reputational harm. We have added new features involving AI to our offerings and internal systems, and features that rely on AI that may be susceptible to unanticipated security threats as our and the market’s understanding of AI-centric security risks and protection methods continue to develop.

Current report

Emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation, or otherwise materially harm of our business.

Current report

Our development and use of AI technology in our products and operations remains in the early phases. While we aim to develop and use AI responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and the technologies that we develop or use may ultimately be flawed. Moreover, AI technology is subject to rapidly evolving regulations, which could impose significant costs and obligations on us. This includes actual and pending orders and laws by the U.S. federal government, the European Union and other jurisdictions in which we operate. Emerging regulations may also pertain to the ethical use of AI, as well as clarifying intellectual property considerations. Our use of AI could give rise to legal or regulatory action or increased scrutiny or liability, and may damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business.

Current report

Our evolving AI-related efforts may give rise to risks related to harmful content, inaccuracies, discrimination, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, violation of rights of publicity, defamation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and other issues. As a result of these and other challenges associated with innovative technologies, our implementation of AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability (including under new and proposed legislation and regulations), new applications of existing data protection, privacy, intellectual property, and other laws, and brand or reputational harm. Some uses of AI will present ethical issues and may have broad effects on society. In order to implement AI responsibly and minimize unintended harmful effects, we have already devoted and will continue to invest significant resources to develop, test, and maintain our products and services, but we may not be able to identify or resolve all AI-related issues, deficiencies, and/or failures before they arise. Unintended consequences, uses, or customization of our AI tools and systems may negatively affect human rights, privacy, employment, or other social concerns, which may result in claims, lawsuits, brand or reputational harm, and increased regulatory scrutiny, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Current report

Furthermore, AI technology and services are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and require significant investment, including technical infrastructure, development and operational costs, to meet the changing needs and expectations of our existing users and attract new users. Our ability to correctly deploy certain AI technologies is critical for our products and services and for our business strategy may depend on the availability and pricing of third-party equipment and other technical infrastructure operations costs, including network capacity, energy, and equipment costs. Additionally, other companies may develop AI products and technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies or more cost-effective to develop and/or deploy. Other companies may also have (or in the future may obtain) patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, or sell our own AI products and services.

Current report

On October 9, 2025, Israel, Hamas, the United States and other countries in the region agreed to a framework for a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. It is unknown whether this ceasefire will endure, or if other conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, or in the broader region will reemerge or escalate in the future.

Current report

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 year ended December 31, 2025 approximately 279 or 13% of our employees in Israel have been called to active reserve duty for varying periods, impacting the availability of our workforce.

Current report

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, storms, 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.

We are actively monitoring the situation and evaluating potential impacts on our financial condition and operational strategy.

Current report

We are subject to stringent and changing data privacy and security laws, rules, regulations and other obligations. These areas could damage our reputation, deter current and potential customers, affect our product design, or result in legal or regulatory proceedings and liability.

Current report

We process sensitive, confidential or personal data or information in the ordinary course of our business that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations, industry standards, external and internal policies, contracts and other obligations that govern the collection, processing, storing, transfer, and sharing of such data by us and on our behalf. Concerns about our practices or the ultimate use of our products and services with regard to the collection, use, retention, security or disclosure of personal information or other privacy-related matters, including for use in AI technologies, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and adversely affect our operating results. The theft, loss or misuse of personal data in our possession or by one of our partners could result in damage to our reputation, regulatory proceedings, disruption of our business activities or increased security or remediation costs and costs related to defending legal claims.

Current report

In the United States, federal, state, and local authorities have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including for data breach notification, personal data privacy and consumer protection. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to provide our products and services. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, or CPRA, or collectively the CCPA, gives California residents the right to access, delete and opt-out of certain sharing of their personal information, and to receive detailed information about how it is used and shared. The CCPA provides for substantial fines for intentional violation and the law created a private right of action for certain data breaches. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels. Additionally, several states and localities have enacted measures related to the use of AI in products and services. If we become subject to additional data privacy laws, the risk of enforcement action against us could increase.

Current report

Worldwide regulatory authorities are also considering and have enacted various laws concerning data protection. The European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, and the United Kingdom similarly adopted the U.K. GDPR, governing the strict handling of personal data of persons within the European Economic Area, or EEA, and the United Kingdom, respectively, including its use and protection and the ability of persons whose data is stored to access, correct, and delete such data about themselves. Additionally, Europe’s Network and Information Security Directive, or NIS2, regulates resilience and incident response capabilities of entities operating in a number of sectors, including the digital infrastructure sector. Non-compliance with NIS2 may lead to administrative fines. If we are found not to comply, we could be subject to monetary fines, penalties, reputational damage, damage to our financial condition, and operating results.

Current report

Statutory fines under U.S. or worldwide regulations may be imposed on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Statutory fines under U.S. or worldwide regulations may be imposed on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations.Obligations related to data privacy and security (and consumers’ data privacy expectations) are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating uncertainty. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources, which may necessitate changes to our services, information technologies, systems, and practices, and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf.

Risk Factors

Previous report

As mentioned, the new U.S. Presidential administration entered office on January 20, 2025, and to the extent that tax benefits or credits available under the IRA may be changed through acts of congress by new regulation or new law, our business could be adversely disadvantaged. We continue to monitor the benefits available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers.

Previous report

Disruption in our global supply chain and rising prices of oil and raw materials as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

Previous report

Our expansion into new geographic markets or new product lines or services could subject us to additional business, financial, and competitive risks.

Previous report

Our entry into adjacent markets through acquisitions is highly competitive and it is difficult to evaluate our future in these new markets. Our business could be materially adversely affected as a result of the risks associated with acquisitions and investments including our ability to effectively integrate such acquisitions.

Previous report

Our non-solar businesses in adjacent markets, such as energy storage, are highly competitive markets in which we will need to compete. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including unpredictable and volatile revenues and increased expenses, with respect to the ability or failure to integrate such acquisitions. For example, in October 2023, we decided to discontinue our light commercial vehicle e-Mobility ("LCV") activity related to the supply of products to the sole customer and do not plan to be active in the e-Mobility business in the future. Also in November 2024, we decided to discontinue our Energy Storage activity in South Korea. The viability and demand for our products and services may be affected by many factors beyond our control, including:

Previous report

As part of our growth strategy, we made a number of acquisitions, and may, in the future continue to make acquisitions and investments in the future. Discontinuing businesses may also create liabilities and expenses that may adversely affect our business. We evaluate the tactical or strategic opportunities available related to complementary businesses, products or technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in making additional acquisitions. Even if we are successful in making additional acquisitions, integrating an acquired company’s business into ours or investing in new technologies may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and large expenditures and absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business, both of which may result in the loss of key customers or personnel and expose us to unanticipated liabilities. Further, we may not be able to retain the key employees that may be necessary to operate the businesses we acquire and we may not be able to attract, in a timely manner, new skilled employees and management to replace them.

Previous report

We may not be able to consummate acquisitions or investments that we have identified as crucial to the implementation of our strategy for other commercial or economic reasons. Further, we may not be able to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, including those of competition authorities and foreign investment authorities, in countries where we seek to consummate acquisitions or make investments. For those and other reasons, we may ultimately fail to consummate an acquisition, even if we announce the intended acquisition.

Previous report

Throughout the year ended December 31, 2023 and until the middle of the year ending December 31, 2024, we experienced an increase in the cost of revenues sold due to an increase in shipping rates that resulted from a reduction in ocean freight capacity and the reduction in the availability of air freight that increased the demand for ocean freight. Shipping rates have significantly decreased in the second half of 2024. Due to a decrease in the sale of our products, the mentioned costs have had marginal effects on our business.

Previous report

In addition, several jurisdictions have adopted renewable portfolio standards, mandating that a certain portion of electricity delivered by utilities to customers come from a set of eligible renewable energy resources, such as solar, by a certain compliance date. Under some programs, a utility can receive a “credit” for renewable energy produced by a third party by either purchasing the electricity directly from the producer or paying a fee to obtain the right to renewable energy generated but used or sold by the generator. A renewable energy credit allows the utility to add this electricity to its renewable portfolio requirement without actually expending the capital for generating facilities. However, there can be no assurances that such policies will continue. Reduction or elimination of renewable portfolio standards or successful efforts to meet current standards could harm or halt the growth of the solar PV industry and our business.

Previous report

In 2023, we began to move manufacturing to the U.S in order to benefit further from the clean energy tax credits provided under the IRA. Recent executive orders issued by the newly elected administration may lead to uncertainty regarding future projects and manufacturing costs of U.S.-made products. We are actively monitoring the situation and evaluating potential impacts on our financial condition and operational strategy.

Previous report

Our share repurchase program may be subject to certain risks.

Previous report

Although the board of directors has authorized the share repurchase program, any determination to execute the share repurchase program will be subject to, among other things, the Company’s financial position and results of operations, available cash and cash flow, capital requirements and other factors, as well as the board of director’s continuing determination that the repurchase program is in the best interests of its stockholders and is in compliance with all laws and agreements applicable to the repurchase program. Our share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any common stock. If we fail to meet any expectations related to share repurchases, this could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence and the market price of our common stock could decline. Additionally, price volatility of our common stock over a given period may cause the average price at which we repurchase our common stock to exceed the stock’s market price at a given point in time. Our share repurchase program expired on December 31, 2024.

Previous report

We may further increase or decrease the amount of repurchases of our common stock in the future. Any reduction or discontinuance of repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our current share repurchase program could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Moreover, in the event repurchases of our common stock are reduced or discontinued, our failure or inability to resume repurchasing common stock at historical levels could result in a lower market valuation of our common stock.
Reworded paragraphs (63)

Previous wording

We achieved a net loss of $1,806.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and net profit of $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2021, we experienced an increase in revenues and profitability when compared to the same period in 2020. In 2022 our revenues grew when compared to the same period in 2021 while our net profit decreased due to reasons detailed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis Section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Conversely, in the third quarter of 2023, we experienced a slowdown in the demand for our products and during 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 continued to experience a slowdown in demand for our products throughout the year ending December 31, 2024. As a result, revenues in 2024 were significantly lower than the Company expected.

Current wording

We incurred a net loss of $405.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net loss of $1,806.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, we experienced a slowdown in the demand for our products and during 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 continued to experience a slowdown in demand for our products throughout the year ending December 31, 2024. Despite a prolonged softness in demand, in the year ending December 31, 2025, we have seen an increase in sales due to more normalized channel inventory in both the United States and in Europe.

Previous wording

In the future, our revenues may not grow at the pace we anticipate, or may decline for a number of reasons, many of which are outside our control, including a decline in demand for our products, increased competition, a decrease in the growth of the solar industry, and business and industry trends including component shortages and supply chain disruptions due to ocean freight capacity, shipping times and port congestions as well as other macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, inflation concerns, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we fail to maintain sufficient revenue to support our operations, we may not be able to sustain profitability.

Current wording

In the future, our revenues may not grow at the pace we anticipate, or may decline for a number of reasons, many of which are outside our control, including a decline in demand for our products, a decrease in the growth of the solar industry, disadvantageous changes to tax law, tax treaties, regulations, and guidance and interpretations related thereto, and business and industry trends including component shortages, increased competition, and supply chain disruptions due to ocean freight capacity, shipping times and port congestions as well as other macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, inflation concerns, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we fail to maintain sufficient revenue to support our operations, we may not be able to reach or sustain profitability.

Previous wording

In addition, we expect to incur additional costs and expenses related to the continued development and expansion of our business, including in connection with recent or future acquisitions as well as ongoing marketing and developing our products, development of our own manufacturing facilities, expanding into new product markets and geographies, maintaining and enhancing our research and development operations and hiring additional personnel. We do not know whether our revenues will grow rapidly enough to absorb these costs, or the extent of these expenses or their impact on the results of our operations.

In August 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, certain incentives, including certain tax credits, intended to promote clean energy. The Company has invested resources in establishing a manufacturing presence in the U.S. to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, including benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of U.S. manufactured products and incentives for manufacturers of such products domestically. Moreover, we incorporated into our financial planning and agreements with our customers and suppliers certain assumptions regarding the future level of U.S. tax incentives. Any unfavorable regulatory treatment, or guidance, expiration of or changes to the benefits being made available, which we relied upon in structuring certain projects and investments, or any adverse impacts on our ability to ramp up production in the U.S. in a timely manner to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, could adversely impact our business and financial condition.

Current wording

Unfavorable regulatory treatment, guidance, interpretation, expiration of or changes to the benefits made available, which we relied upon in structuring certain projects and investments, or any adverse impacts on our ability to increase production in the U.S. in a timely manner to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA and H.R.1., could adversely impact our business and financial condition.

Our revenues are primarily derived from products utilized in solar PV installations. Thus, our future success depends on continued demand for solar energy solutions and the ability of vendors to meet this demand. The solar industry is an evolving industry that has experienced substantial changes in recent years, and we cannot be certain that consumers, businesses, or utilities will adopt solar PV systems as an alternative energy source at levels sufficient to grow our business. If demand for solar energy solutions fails to continue to develop sufficiently, demand for our products and services will decrease, resulting in an adverse impact on our ability to increase our revenue and grow our business.

Additionally, there is fluctuating demand for solar energy solutions and we manufacture our products according to our estimate of future customer demand. We have experienced, and may in the future continue to experience, excess or shortages of product inventory as a result. This process requires us to make multiple forecasts and assumptions relating to the demand of our distributors, their end customers and general market conditions. Because we sell most of our products to distributors, who in turn sell to their end customers, we have limited visibility as to end-customer demand. We depend significantly on our distributors to provide us visibility into their end-customer demand, and we use these forecasts to make our own forecasts and planning decisions. If the information from our distributors turns out to be incorrect or incomplete, then our own forecasts may also be inaccurate. Furthermore, we do not have long-term purchase commitments with most of our distributors or end customers, and our sales are generally made by purchase orders that may be canceled, changed or deferred without notice to us or penalty. As a result, it is difficult to forecast future customer demand to plan our operations.

The cancellation or deferral of product orders, or overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. For example, in the second part of 2023, the solar industry began to experience a downturn, particularly in Europe, and we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. This was a result of operational challenges in the later part of 2022, followed by record level shipments in the first half of 2023, slowing market demand in the third quarter of 2023, and which continued through the year ending December 31, 2024, as distributors began to experience financial challenges. We may have to make significant provisions for inventory write-downs based on events that are currently not known, and such provisions or any adjustments to such provisions could be material. We may also become involved in disputes with our suppliers who may claim that we failed to fulfill forecast or minimum purchase requirements.

In November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, following a major liquidity crisis, leading to cancellations of orders. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. Additionally, uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may further contribute to market volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance.

Previous wording

Many end-users depend on financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to develop, build, or purchase a solar PV system. An increase in interest rates or a reduction in the supply of project debt financing or tax equity investments, could reduce the number of solar projects that receive financing or otherwise make it difficult for our customers or the end-users to secure the financing necessary to develop, build, purchase, or install a solar PV system on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our products which could limit our growth or reduce our net sales. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of end-users install solar PV systems as an investment, funding the initial capital expenditure through financing. An increase in interest rates could lower such end-user’s return on investment on a solar PV system, increase equity return requirements or make alternative investments more attractive relative to solar PV systems, and, in each case, could cause such end-users to seek alternative investments. During 2022 and 2023, record levels of inflation have resulted in significant volatility and disruptions in the global economy. In response to rising inflation, central banks in the markets in which we operate, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have tightened their monetary policies and raised interest rates. Such measures have adversely impacted the demand for our products which may continue if there is a period of sustained heightened inflation.

Previous wording

The market for solar PV solutions is highly competitive. We principally compete with traditional inverter manufacturers as well as microinverter manufacturers. Currently, our DC optimized inverter system competes with products from traditional inverter manufacturers, microinverter manufacturers, as well as emerging technology companies offering alternative MLPE products. Over the past few years, several new entrants to the inverter and MLPE market, including low-cost Asian manufacturers, have announced plans to ship or have already shipped products in markets in which we sell our products, including, with respect to sales in the U.S., Australia and in Europe. We expect competition to intensify as new and existing competitors enter the market. In addition, there are several new entrants that are proposing storage batteries as well as solutions to the rapid shutdown functionality which has become a regulatory requirement for PV rooftop solar systems in the U.S. If these new technologies are successful in offering a price competitive and technological attractive solution to the residential solar PV market, this could make it more difficult for us to maintain market share.

Current wording

The market for PV solutions is highly competitive and increasing competition may adversely affect our market share, revenues, gross margins, and profitability. We principally compete with traditional inverter manufacturers, microinverter manufacturers, and emerging MLPE technology providers. Our DC optimized inverter system competes with products from these traditional competitors as well as new entrants offering alternative MLPE technologies. Over the last years, several new entrants to the inverter and MLPE market, including low-cost Asian manufacturers, have entered, announced, or expanded into markets in which we sell our products, including, with respect to sales in the U.S., Australia, and in Europe. We expect competition to intensify as new and existing competitors enter the market. Increasing competition is being driven by evolving safety standards, the emergence of higher‑power PV modules, rising demand for storage solutions, and the entry of additional MLPE, inverter, battery, and software‑based energy‑management providers across our key markets, across both our residential and C&I markets.. If these technologies are successful in offering a price competitive and technological attractive solution to the PV market, this could make it more difficult for us to maintain market share.

Previous wording

Several of our existing and potential competitors have the financial resources or have received certain subsidies in order to offer competitive products at aggressive or below-market pricing levels, which could cause us to lose sales or market share or require us to lower prices for our products in order to compete effectively. Specifically, competition from Chinese state owned or financed companies pose a threat. If we have to reduce our prices by more than we anticipated, or if we are unable to offset any future reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volume, reducing our costs and expenses or introducing new products, our revenues and gross profit would suffer.

Our future success partly depends on continued demand for solar PV systems in the end-markets we serve, including the residential and commercial sectors in the U.S. and Europe. The solar industry has historically been cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns which have affected and may in the future affect demand for our products. The solar industry has undergone challenging business conditions in past years, including downward pricing pressure for PV modules, mainly as a result of overproduction, and reductions in applicable governmental subsidies, contributing to demand decreases. For example, since the second part of 2023 and throughout 2024, the solar industry experienced a downturn, which continues, particularly in Europe, which led to a large amount of requests to cancel or push out orders and the buildup of significant backlog for our products. This slowdown in the market in Europe continues in 2025 and it is not clear when demand for PV systems in Europe will increase and return to the levels that it was at in 2021 and 2022. Additionally, there is no assurance that the solar industry will not suffer additional significant downturns in the future, which will adversely affect demand for our solar products and our results of operations.

Furthermore, defective components may give rise to warranty, indemnity, or product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. In most cases, we offer a minimum 12-year limited warranty for our inverters, extendable to twenty-five years for an additional cost, a 25-year limited warranty for our power optimizers and a 10-year limited warranty for our residential energy bank battery. Our limited warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship of our products under normal use and service conditions; therefore, we bear the risk of warranty claims long after we have sold products and recognized revenue. While we do have accrued reserves for warranty claims, our estimated warranty costs for previously sold products may change to the extent future products are not compatible with earlier generation products under warranty. Our warranty accruals are based on our assumptions and we do not have a long history of making such assumptions. As a result, these assumptions could prove to be materially different from the actual performance of our systems, causing us to incur substantial unanticipated expenses to repair or replace defective products in the future or to compensate customers for defective products. Our failure to accurately predict future claims could result in unexpected volatility in, and have a material adverse effect on, our financial condition. In particular, our commercial CSS-OD batteries are still relatively new on the market and we do not have the experience in servicing these products yet.

We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services. We also may from time to time engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen and expand our market position, technological capabilities, or provide synergy opportunities. For example, we intend to continue to introduce new products targeted at large commercial installations.

Current wording

In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. As such, we are focusing on markets where we believe we will recognize the most opportunity. We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to leave geographic markets if they are not profitable or expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services. We may sell subsidiaries, business, or disengage with product lines in order to further our focus on our core business and as a cost-reduction effort.

While we manufacture a small portion of our products in Israel, we heavily rely upon our contract manufacturers to manufacture most of our products. We mainly rely on two contract manufacturers. Any change in our relationship or contractual terms with our contract manufacturers, or changes in our contract manufacturers’ ability to comply with their contractual obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our reliance on a small number of contract manufacturers makes us vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. Even though we have commenced manufacturing in our facilities in Israel, the expected production volumes will not be sufficient to relieve our significant dependence on our contract manufacturers. In addition, we remain heavily dependent on suppliers of the components needed for our manufacturing.

Moreover, we rely on suppliers in China for certain key components, and rising tensions between China and other countries could damage our relationships with these suppliers. Because there are few suppliers of raw materials used to manufacture our products, it may be difficult to timely identify and/or qualify alternate suppliers on commercially reasonable terms; therefore, our ability to satisfy customer demand may be adversely affected. Transitioning to a new supplier or redesigning a product to accommodate a new component manufacturer would result in additional costs and delays that could harm our business or financial performance.

In the second half of 2023 and throughout 2024, with the downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress. For example, in January 2024, ADT announced that it was exiting the residential solar business completely after having bought Sunpro Solar in 2021. ADT was not a customer of SolarEdge, but the trend could continue and SolarEdge customers could also decide to exit the solar business. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. If these installers and distributors become insolvent or if some of their customers fail to pay our distributors for products sold by such distributors, we may need to write off some of their debt to us and we may suffer harm to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current wording

In the second half of 2023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2025, with a downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress. For example, in November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas.. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. If these installers and distributors become insolvent or if some of their customers fail to pay our distributors for products sold by such distributors, we may need to write off some of their debt to us and we may suffer harm to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous wording

There has been an increase in consolidation activities among distributors, large installers, and other strategic partners in the solar industry. For example, in October 2020, Sunrun, a leading provider of residential solar, battery storage and energy services, acquired Vivint Solar. In addition, in December 2021, Stem Inc., a storage software and services company acquired AlsoEnergy, a solar asset management software company. If this consolidation continues and impacts our customers, it will further increase our reliance on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and may negatively impact our competitive position in the solar market.

Current wording

There have been consolidation activities among distributors, large installers, and other strategic partners in the solar industry. For example in SunPower Inc. a solar technology, services and installation company acquired Sunder Energy, a leading residential solar sales company, in September 2025. In November 2025, Sun Power Inc also acquired Ambia Solar, a residential solar installation company. Additionally, in September 2025, Solaris Assets, LLC, and certain of its affiliates acquired substantially all the assets and business operations of Sunnova Energy International Inc., a residential solar and battery storage services company. If consolidations persist in the solar industry, our customers may be impacted, as we may increase our reliance on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and may negatively impact our competitive position in the solar market.

Complications with the design or implementation of our new ERP system could adversely impact our business and operations.

Current wording

Our ability to implement our new ERP system could adversely impact our business and operations.

Previous wording

We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business and summarize operating results. We are in the process of a multi-year implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. This ERP system will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The ERP system implementation process has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant personnel and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully implement the ERP system without experiencing delays, increased costs and other difficulties. If we are unable to successfully design and implement the new ERP system as planned, our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if we do not effectively implement the ERP system as planned or the ERP system does not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be adversely affected or our ability to assess those controls adequately could be delayed.

Current wording

We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business and summarize operating results. We substantially completed the implementation of our new global ERP system during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. We are performing our post-implementation activities. The implementation of that ERP system is expected to, among other things, improve user access security and automate a number of accounting, back office and reporting processes and activities, thereby decreasing the amount of manual processes previously required. The implementation resulted in, and the post-implementation activities may result in, changes to certain of our processes and procedures. These changes have been and will continue to be subject to our evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The ERP system implementation process has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant personnel and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully complete the implementation of our ERP system without experiencing delays, increased costs and other difficulties. If we are unable to successfully design and utilize the new ERP system as planned, our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if we do not effectively utilize the ERP system as planned or the ERP system does not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be adversely affected or our ability to assess those controls adequately could be delayed.

Our e-Mobility business currently does not have additional substantial projects in the pipeline, and we do not plan to engage additional customers or generate revenues from the e-Mobility business. We have therefore discontinued this business. In the year ended December 31, 2022, we impaired goodwill and intangible assets related to our e-Mobility business and in the year ended December 31, 2023, we impaired tangible assets including machinery and inventory write-off. Such impairment charges have had a negative impact on our operating results and related financial statements.

Previous wording

In order to operate more efficiently and cost effectively, we have, and we may from time to time, adjust employment levels, optimize our footprint and/or implement other restructuring activities. For example, in January, July, and November 2024, as well as January 2025, we announced adoption of a restructuring plan in response to challenging industry conditions, including a reduction in workforce. These activities are complex and may involve or require significant changes to our operations. If we do not successfully manage these activities, expected efficiencies and benefits might be delayed or not realized. Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include: unfavorable political responses and reputational harm; unforeseen delays in the implementation of the restructuring activities; additional costs; adverse effects on employee morale; the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees or work stoppages; and difficulty managing our operations during or after facility consolidations, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions, harm our business or reputation, or have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
