Note 10. Derivative Instruments
The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"), requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, an entity must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Gains and losses on derivatives instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk), are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into statement of income in the same accounting period in which the designated forecasted transaction or hedged item affects earnings.
The Company entered into option and forward contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated New Israeli Shekel ("NIS") payroll and benefit payments. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and accordingly are measured at fair value. These transactions are effective and, as a result, gain or loss on the derivative instruments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified as Cost of revenues and Operating expenses, at the time that the hedged income/expense is recorded.
| Net Notional amount · Fair value (Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31 | December 31, | |||
| 2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Option contracts to hedge payroll | ||||
| expenses NIS | $32,158 | $31,833 | $1,159 | $173 |

| expenses (income) NIS | — | 5,598 | — | (229) |
| $32,158 | $37,431 | $1,159 | $(56) | |
The Company currently hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period ofone year. As of December 31, 2023, the Company expects to reclassify all of its unrealized gains and losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next nine months. The fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is summarized below:
| Fair value of derivative instruments | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | |||

Note 15. Fair value measurements
Warrant liability
Upon the closing of the transaction,20,000,000 Public Warrants and 9,666,667 private warrants, that were both issued by TWC prior to the transaction, were outstanding to purchase the Company’s Ordinary Shares. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone Company Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The warrants are exercisable at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the transaction and expire five years after the Closing Date or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after they become exercisable, provided that the last sale price of the Company Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18 per share, subject to adjustments, for any 20 trading-days within a 30 trading-day period ending three business days prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The private warrants have similar terms as the Public Warrants, except that the private warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option and the private warrants will not be redeemed by the Company as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, but once they are transferred, they have the same rights as the Public Warrants.
The Company has classified the warrants assumed during the Merger (both public and private) as a liability pursuant to ASC 815-40 since the warrants do not meet the equity classification conditions. Accordingly, the Company measured the warrants at their fair value. The warrants liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of comprehensive loss.
During the year ended December 31, 2022,500 public warrants were exercised in a total amount of $5.
| Public Warrants (Level 1) | Private Placement Warrants (Level 3) | Total Warrant liability | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance, December 31, 2021 | $35,200 | $21,278 | $56,478 |
| Change in fair value | (22,240) | (14,223) | (36,463) |
| Balance, December 31, 2022 | $12,960 | $7,055 | $20,015 |
| Change in fair value | 18,439 | 15,663 | 34,102 |
| Balance, December 31, 2023 | $31,399 | $22,718 | $54,117 |
The estimated fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black-Scholes valuation model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expiration, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common share based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expiration of the warrants. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates will remain at 0%.

Restricted sponsor shares liability and Price adjustment shares liability
7,500,000 Ordinary Shares issued to TWC Tech Holdings II, LLC, out of a total of 13,500,000 shares, are Restricted Sponsor Shares and will vest in 3 tranches of 3,000,000,3,000,000 and 1,500,000, upon achievement of the triggering events (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)); if at any time during the Price Adjustment Period the price of Ordinary Shares will be greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00 and $30.00, respectively, over anytwenty trading days within anythirty trading day period. In the event of a post-Closing change of control transaction involving the Company, any Restricted Sponsor Shares not previously vested will vest and will be entitled to participate in the change of control transaction. The probability of such event was considered by the Company. Upon the expiration of the Price Adjustment Period (a period ofseven years), any unvested Cellebrite Shares that have not vested as of such time will be forfeited. The Company security holders shall be entitled to vote their unvested Restricted Sponsor Shares and receive dividends and other distribution, and to have all other economic rights, in each case, with respect to such Restricted Sponsor Shares while they remain unvested.
Holders of the Ordinary Shares and vested RSUs, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are eligible to receive up to 15,000,000 Ordinary Shares that will vest in 3 tranches of 5,000,000 upon achievement of the triggering events (if at any time during the Price Adjustment Period the price of Ordinary Shares will be greater than or equal to $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively, over any 20 trading-days within any 30 trading-day period.) or upon a Change of Control (as defined in Merger Agreement) before thefive (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date.
The restricted Sponsor shares liability and Price adjustment shares are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
The Company has determined that the price adjustment shares, and the restricted sponsor shares are freestanding financing instruments since those rights are legally detachable and separately exercisable. The Company has determined that the price adjustment rights, and the restricted sponsor shares are not indexed to Company’s stock since if a change of control occurs, all the shares underlying the price adjustment shares and the restricted sponsor shares will be issued regardless of the company’s stock price. Therefore, the Company accounted for the price adjustment shares and for the restricted sponsor shares as a liability measured at fair value through earnings.

Note 18. Taxes on income
A. Israeli taxation
- Corporate tax rates in Israel:
The tax rates relevant to corporations in Israel in the years 2023, 2022 and 2021 is 23%. However, the effective tax rate reported by a company that derives income from a Preferred Enterprise or Preferred Technological Enterprise (as discussed below) is lower.
- Tax benefits under the Law for Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (“the Investment Law”) Approved/Beneficiary Enterprise
Pursuant to the Investment Law, the Company was awarded “Approved Enterprise” and “Beneficiary Enterprise” status under the government alternative benefits path beginning in 2003 until 2018 (included). During this period the Company was entitled to beneficial tax rates of 0% –10%. The Company decided to terminate its “Approved” and ”Beneficiary Enterprise” status early and enjoy beneficial tax rates under the “preferred technological enterprise” status effective beginning 2019.
In the event of distribution of dividends from income taxable at 0% tax rate (the “Trapped Earnings”) as part of the Approved Enterprise or Beneficiary Enterprise statuses, the amount distributed will be subject to corporate tax at the rate ordinarily applicable to the Approved or Beneficiary Enterprise’s.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company distributed approximately $71,000 attributable to all of the Company’s Trapped Earnings and recorded a related income tax expense of approximately $7,000.
During October 2022, a final ruling was signed by the Company and the ITA, according to which, the Company paid approximately $4,900.
- Tax benefits under the Law for Encouragement of Preferred Enterprise and Preferred Technology Enterprise
On May 16, 2017 the Knesset Finance Committee approved Encouragement of Capital Investment Regulations (Preferred Technological Income and Capital Gain of Technological Enterprise) — 2017 (hereinafter: “the Regulations”), which provides rules for applying the “Preferred Technological Enterprise” tax benefit track including the formula that provides the mechanism for allocating the technological income eligible for the benefits
Commencing in 2019 the Company elected the Preferred Technology Enterprise status to apply under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments (the “Investment Law”). The approval is currently in affect for the tax years 2019 to 2023. The Company expects to continue to meet the conditions to be entitled to the “Preferred Technological Enterprise” status beyond 2023.
Income subject to the Preferred Technology Enterprise status is taxed at reduced tax rate of 12% and income from manufacturing activity in Area A is taxed at reduced tax rate of 7.5%.
- Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxation), 1969:

- Tax Benefits for Research and Development:
Israeli tax law (section 20A to the Israeli Tax Ordinance (New Version), 1961) allows a tax deduction for research and development expenses, including capital expenses, in the year in which they are paid. Such expenses must relate to scientific research in industry, agriculture, transportation or energy, and must be approved by the relevant Israeli government ministry, determined by the field of research. Expenses incurred in scientific research that are not approved by the relevant government ministry are amortized over a three-year period starting from the tax year in which they are paid.
- Foreign Exchange Regulations:
Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Company calculates its Israeli tax liability in U.S. dollars according to the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Principles Regarding the Management of Books of Account of Foreign Invested Companies and Certain Partnerships and the Determination of Their Taxable Income), 1986. The tax liability, as calculated in U.S. dollars is translated into NIS according to the exchange rate as of December 31 of each year.
B. Income taxes on non-Israeli subsidiaries:
The Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the US, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Brazil, UK, France, Canada, Japan and India are taxed according to tax laws in the countries of their residence. The Company’s effective tax rate depends on the geographical mix of where its profits are earned. In the year 2023, the Company’s U.S. subsidiary is subject to combined federal and state income taxes of 24% and the subsidiaries in Germany and Singapore are subject to corporation tax at a rate of approximately 33% and 17% respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $45,431 undistributed earnings of its subsidiaries.
These undistributed earnings were designated as indefinitely reinvested.
In the event of a distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends, a sale of the subsidiaries, or certain other transactions, we may be liable for income taxes, subject to an adjustment, if any, for foreign tax credits and foreign withholding taxes payable to certain foreign tax authorities.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year | $3,073 | $3,238 |
| Decreases in tax positions for prior years | (436) | (452) |
| Increases in tax positions for current year | 892 | 287 |
| Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year | $3,529 | $3,073 |
Interest expense recognized related to uncertain tax positions amounted to $173 , $129 and $92 in 2023 , 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total accrued interest as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $470 and $297, respectively, and were included in accrued expenses.
The Company currently does not expect unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months, except in the case of settlements with tax authorities, the likelihood and timing of which is difficult to estimate.
The Company’s income tax assessments in Israel through the year 2017 are considered final.
The Company is subject to income tax in other jurisdictions outside of Israel, of which the major jurisdiction is the U.S. The Company’s operation in the US is subject to potential examination for tax years 2020 and afterwards.
Timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain and therefore, as of December 31, 2023, the Company cannot estimate the change in unrecognized tax benefits resulting from these audit within the next 12 months.
