NOTE 1:-

GENERAL

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries design, develop, and sell an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual photovoltaic ("PV") module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. The Company's products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers designed to maximize energy throughput from each and every module through constant tracking of Maximum Power Point individually per module, (ii) inverters which invert direct current (DC) from the PV module to alternating current (AC) and (iii) a related cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters of a solar PV system to enable customers and system owners as applicable, to monitor and manage the solar PV systems. (iv) storage solution that is used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for homeowners by utilizing a battery that is sold separately by third-party manufacturers, to store and supply power as needed (the "StorEdge solution"). The StorEdge solution is designed to provide smart energy functions such as maximizing self-consumption, Time-of-Use programming for desired hours of the day, and home energy backup solutions. In addition, the Company offers several communication and smart energy management solutions.

The Company and its subsidiaries sell their products worldwide directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement and construction firms ("EPCs"), as well as through large distributors and electrical equipment wholesalers to smaller solar installers.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). The new standard applies only to inventory for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in, first-out and the retail inventory method, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 is required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We adopted ASU 2015-11 during the first quarter of 2017, which did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." ASU 2017-09 was issued to provide clarity and reduce both 1) diversity in practice and 2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on identifying performance obligations. The guidance permits two methods of modification: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method. We are in the process of finalizing our analysis of the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, related disclosures, and our internal controls over financial reporting.

NOTE 1:-

GENERAL (Cont.)

The significant accounting policies applied in the Company's audited 2016 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-KT for transition period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-KT") are applied consistently in these financial statements.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, "Interim Financial Statements" and the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosure it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

In management's opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company's interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2016 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-KT for transition period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017. There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the transition period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 included in the 2016 Form 10-KT.

The Company depends on two contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers. Currently, the Company has entered into an agreement with a third manufacturer and is in the process of transitioning manufacturing from one manufacturer to another. During this transition period the Company mainly relies on one contract manufacturer. Reliance on these vendors makes the Company vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs.

These vendors collectively account for 43.3% and 61.0% of the Company's total trade payables as of September 30, 2017 (unaudited) and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company has the right to offset its payables to one of its contract manufacturers against vendor non-trade receivables. As of September 30, 2017 (unaudited), a total of $3,393 of these receivables met the criteria for net recognition and were offset against the corresponding accounts payable balances for this contract manufacturer in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative financial instruments:

To protect against the increase in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from salary and lease payments of its Israeli facilities denominated in the Israeli currency, the New Israeli Shekel ("NIS"), during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of the anticipated payroll and lease payments denominated in NIS for a period of one to six months with hedging contracts. Accordingly, when the dollar strengthens against the foreign currencies, the decline in present value of future foreign currency expenses is offset by losses in the fair value of the hedging contracts. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by gains in the fair value of the hedging contracts. These hedging contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC 815 and are all effective hedges.

As of September 30, 2017 (unaudited), the Company entered into forward contracts and put and call options to sell U.S. dollars for Euros in the amount of 1.5 million Euro and 4.5 million Euro, respectively. These hedging contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingency features. See Note 4 for information on the fair value of these hedging contracts.

The fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:

	Balance as of September 30,			Balance as of December 31,
	2017			2016
	(unaudited)

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies ASC 820 ("Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures"), with respect to fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

A three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1-

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2-

Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3-

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Stock Incentive plans:

The Company's 2007 Global Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") was adopted by the board of directors on August 30, 2007. On March 31, 2015, once the Company completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO"), the 2007 Plan has been terminated and no further awards will be granted thereunder. All outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms and 379,358 available options for future grant were transferred to the Company's 2015 Global Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan") and are reserved for future issuances under the 2015 plan.

The 2015 Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of options, RSUs and other share-based awards to directors, employees, officers and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2017 (unaudited), a total of 5,890,087 (unaudited) shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan (the "Share Reserve").

The Share Reserve will automatically increase on January 1st of each year during the term of the 2015 Plan commencing on January 1st of the year following the year in which the 2015 Plan becomes effective in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of capital stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year; provided, however, that our board of directors may provide that there will not be a January 1st increase in the Share Reserve in a given year or that the increase will be less than five percent (5%) of the shares of capital stock outstanding on the preceding December 31st.

The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued on the exercise of incentive stock options is ten million (10,000,000).

As of September 30, 2017 (unaudited), an aggregate of 2,583,240 shares of common stock are still available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.

On May 28, 2017, the Israeli government legislated new regulations regarding the "Preferred Technological Enterprise" regime, under which a company that complies with certain criteria is entitled to lower corporate tax rates. The Company expects that its operations in Israel will comply with the criteria of the Preferred Technological Enterprise regime. Therefore, the Company will utilize the tax benefits under this regime after the end of the utilization of the current zero corporate tax rate benefit period under its Approved and Beneficiary Enterprise status. Under the new legislation, the Company's taxable income will be subject to a corporate tax rate of 12%.

Overview

We have invented an intelligent inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic (“PV”) system. Our direct current (“DC”) optimized inverter system is designed to maximize power generation at the individual PV module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. Supporting increased PV proliferation, our system consists of power optimizers, inverters, communication and smart energy management solutions, and a cloud-based monitoring platform. Our solutions address a broad range of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility-scale solar installations. We believe that these benefits, along with our comprehensive and advanced safety features, are highly valued by our customers.

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $166.6 million and $128.5 million, respectively. Gross margin was 34.9% and 32.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net income was $28.0 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $417.7 million and $378.4 million, respectively. Gross margin was 34.4% and 32.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net income was $64.7 million and $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of September 30, 2017, we have shipped approximately 20.6 million power optimizers and 856,000 inverters. Approximately 492,000 installations, many of which may include multiple inverters, are currently connected to, and monitored through, our cloud‑based monitoring platform. As of September 30, 2017, we have shipped approximately 5.9 GW of our DC optimized inverter systems. Our products are sold in approximately 47 countries, and are installed in solar PV systems in more than 120 countries.

Key Operating Metrics

In managing our business and assessing financial performance, we supplement the information provided by the financial statements with other operating metrics. These operating metrics are utilized by our management to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and formulate projections. We use metrics relating to shipments (inverters shipped, power optimizers shipped and megawatts shipped) to evaluate our sales performance and to track market acceptance of our products. We use metrics relating to monitoring (systems monitored) to evaluate market acceptance of our products and usage of our solution.

We provide the “megawatts shipped” metric, which is calculated based on nameplate capacity shipped, to show adoption of our system on a nameplate capacity basis. Nameplate capacity shipped is the maximum rated power output capacity of an inverter and corresponds to our financial results in that higher total capacities shipped are generally associated with higher total revenues. However, revenues increase with each additional unit, not necessarily each additional MW of capacity, sold. Accordingly, we also provide the “inverters shipped” and “power optimizers shipped” operating metrics.

As of September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $149.4 million. This amount does not include $153.8 million invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $1.4 million of restricted cash (primarily held to secure bank guarantees securing certain office lease obligations). We believe that cash provided by operating activities as well as our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $90.9 million, derived mainly from a net income of $64.7 million, $15.4 million of non-cash expenses, an increase of $16.0 million in trade payables and other accounts payable, $13.2 million in warranty obligations, $9.7 million of deferred revenues, $4.5 million in accruals for employees and a decrease of $5.0 million in inventories. The cash from operating activities was offset by an increase of $20.2 million in trade receivables, net and $17.4 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in operating activities was $57.7 million derived mainly from a net income of $53.7 million, $14.8 million of non-cash expenses, a decrease of $19.2 million in inventories, $8.2 million in prepaid expenses and other receivables, and an increase of $15.5 million in warranty obligations and $5.1 million in deferred revenues. The cash from operating activities was offset by an increase of $38.1 million in trade receivables and a deacrese of $19.7 million in trade payables and other accounts payable and $1.0 million in accruals for employees.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $49.7 million, of which $82.5 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities, $13.2 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, automated assembly lines, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements and $0.5 million was related to an increase in restricted cash and a short and long-term lease deposit. This was offset by $46.5 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $75.3 million, of which $85.6 million was invested in available-for-sale marketable securities and $13.9 million related to capital investments in laboratory equipment, end of line testing equipment, manufacturing tools and leasehold improvements. This was offset by $21.7 million from the maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities and a decrease of $2.5 million in restricted cash.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million, all attributed to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million, of which $1.8 million was related to cash received from the exercise of employee and non-employee stock options, offset by $0.2 million attributed to issuance costs related to our initial public offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, customer concentrations and interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Approximately 40.3% and 26.1% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were earned in non‑U.S. Dollar denominated currencies, principally the Euro. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, primarily the U.S. Dollar and New Israeli Shekel, and to a lesser extent the Euro. Our New Israeli Shekel‑denominated expenses consist primarily of personnel and overhead costs. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. Dollar would increase or decrease our net income by $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For purposes of our consolidated financial statements, local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. Dollar on the balance sheet date and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate as of the date of the transaction or at the average exchange rate to the U.S. Dollar during the reporting period.

To date, we have used derivative financial instruments, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, to manage exposure to foreign currency risks by hedging a portion of our account receivable balances denominated in Euros expected to be paid within three months. Our foreign currency forward contracts are expected to mitigate exchange rate changes related to the hedged assets. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $149.5 million and available-for-sale marketable securities with an estimated fair value of $153.8 million on September 30, 2017, which securities were held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Since most of our cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. Dollar‑denominated money market funds, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents do not have any material exposure to changes in exchange rates.

Concentrations of Major Customers

Our trade accounts receivables potentially expose us to a concentration of credit risk with our major customers. As of September 30, 2017, two major customers accounted for approximately 31.2% of our consolidated trade receivables balance. We currently do not foresee a credit risk associated with these receivables.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2017. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Based on an evaluation by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, such officers concluded that there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, we may from time to time be named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints (including as a result of initiating such legal claims, action or complaints on behalf of the Company). It is impossible to predict with certainty whether any resulting liability from any such legal claims, actions or complaints would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the year ended December 31, 2016 other than the supplemental risk factors set forth below:

We rely on a limited number of contract manufacturers and, for a period of time, will rely on one contract manufacturer for some manufacturing.

We depend on two contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers; we have recently entered into an agreement with a new contract manufacturer and are in the process of ramping up manufacturing with this new manufacturer. During this ramp up period we will be relying on one contract manufacturer. Any change in our relationship with our contract manufacturers or changes to contractual terms of our agreements with the contract manufacturers could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in the U.S. trade environment, including the imposition of import tariffs, could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 31, 2017, the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) announced its intended recommendations with respect to regulation of the U.S. solar industry, including the imposition of import tariffs of up to 35% on solar cells and modules imported into the U.S. from certain countries. Once a formal recommendation has been delivered to President Trump, he will have up to 60 days to determine what action to take with respect to such recommendations. He may adopt the recommendations or do nothing at all. In addition, certain solar companies have filed a petititon with the ITC under Section 201 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, which petititon seeks various remedies including the imposition of import tariffs on solar cells and modules that are substantially higher than the tariffs recommended by the ITC, as well as certain restrictions on the import of solar cells and modules. Significant uncertainty currently exists with respect to these matters, including uncertainty about the nature and timing of any changes and what countries may be affected. An adverse determination by the ITC or the imposition of remedies with respect to the Section 201 action could result in a wide range of impacts to the U.S. solar industry and the global manufacturing market. Tariffs or similar taxes or duties, or other remedies that may be imposed, could materially increase the price of solar systems in the U.S. or harm the industry generally, thereby making the use of solar less economically feasible and decreasing demand for our products. These outcomes could adversely affect the amount or timing of our revenues, 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.
