    Answer

    Dimple Gosai's questions to Solaredge Technologies Inc (SEDG) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Dimple Gosai of Bank of America asked about the likelihood of further inventory write-downs and requested a breakdown of the Q3 write-down between inventory impacted by the U.S. shift to domestic content versus unsold inventory in Europe.

    Answer

    Interim CEO Ronen Faier stated that the company does not expect further significant inventory write-downs in the solar division. He explained the write-downs were driven by several factors, primarily inventory obsolescence due to slowing European demand and the discontinuation of certain product lines. He noted that while the accelerated shift to domestic content in the U.S. was a factor, most of the write-down was related to obsolescence rather than selling below cost.

    Dimple Gosai's questions to Generac Holdings Inc (GNRC) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Dimple Gosai of Bank of America questioned the drivers behind the raised EBITDA margin guidance of 18-19%, asking how much is due to structural improvements versus temporary tailwinds and how sustainable these margins are into 2026.

    Answer

    CFO York Ragen attributed the confidence to strong gross margin performance over the last four quarters and the ability to offset tariff impacts with pricing. He noted the guidance increase is partly a function of holding margin dollars on slightly lower sales. CEO Aaron Jagdfeld added that longer-term margin expansion is achievable by reducing the drag from energy tech products and gaining significant operating leverage from the rapidly growing C&I business, particularly the data center opportunity.

    Dimple Gosai's questions to Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Dimple Gosai inquired about the sustainability of higher average selling prices (ASPs) that are helping to offset increased domestic manufacturing costs and product mix impacts.

    Answer

    Chief Products Officer Raghu Belur explained that while U.S. manufacturing does increase costs, which is reflected in pricing, it generates substantial value for customers. The domestic content enables TPO providers and asset owners to claim an additional 10% ITC adder, a value of $0.40 to $0.50 per watt, which far outweighs the modest price increase required to cover the higher production costs.
