About Market Risks.
We are exposed to a variety
of financial risks, including market risk (including foreign exchange risk and price risk), credit and interest risks and liquidity risk.
Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects
on our financial performance.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Due to our international operations,
currency exchange rates impact our financial performance. In 2024, approximately 86% of our revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars,
9% of our revenues were denominated in Euros and 5% of our revenues were denominated in Great Britain Pounds. Conversely, in 2024, approximately
16% of our purchases of raw materials and components of our systems and ink and other consumables were denominated in either NIS or in
NIS prices that are linked to U.S. dollars. Similarly, a majority of our operating costs, which were largely comprised of labor costs,
were denominated in NIS, due to our operations in Israel. Accordingly, our results of operations may be materially affected by fluctuations
in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the NIS and the Euro.

The following table presents
information about the changes in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against the NIS and the Euro:
Change in Average Exchange Rate
Period U.S. Dollar against the NIS (%) U.S. Dollar against the Euro (%)
2022 4.0 12.5
2023 9.7 (2.7 )
2024 0.4 0.02
The figures above represent
the change in the average exchange rate in the given year compared with the average exchange rate in the immediately preceding year. Negative
figures represent depreciation of the U.S. dollar compared with the NIS or Euro (as applicable) and positive figures represent appreciation
of the U.S. dollar compared with the NIS or Euro (as applicable). We estimate that a 10% increase or 10% decrease in the value of the
NIS against the U.S. dollar would have decreased or increased our net income by approximately $(15.2 million) or $12.5 million in 2022,
$(8.5 million) or $7.0 million in 2023, and $(5.9 million) or $4.8 million in 2024, respectively. We estimate that a 10% increase or 10%
decrease in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar would have decreased or increased our net income by approximately $1.3 million
or $(0.7 million) in 2022, $0.9 million or $(1.2 million) in 2023 and $ 0.1million or $( 0.2million) in 2024, respectively. These estimates
of the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on our historic results of operations may be different from the impact of fluctuations
in exchange rates on our future results of operations since the mix of currencies comprising our revenues and expenses may change.
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 at the date of the transaction or the average exchange
rate dollar during the reporting period to the United States.
To protect against an increase
in the dollar-denominated value of expenses paid in NIS during the year, we have instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program,
which seeks to hedge a portion of the economic exposure associated with our anticipated NIS-denominated expenses using derivative instruments.
We intend to manage risks by using instruments such as foreign currency forward and swap contracts and other methods.
During 2022, 2023 and 2024,
we entered into forward and option contracts to hedge against the risk of overall changes in future cash flow from payments of payroll
and related expenses denominated in NIS.
We expect that the substantial
majority of our revenues will continue to be denominated in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future and that a significant portion of
our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS. We will continue to monitor exposure to currency fluctuations. However, we cannot
provide any assurances that our hedging activities will be successful in protecting us in full from adverse impacts from currency exchange
rate fluctuations. In addition, since we only plan to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure, our results of operations may
be adversely affected due to the impact of currency fluctuations on the unhedged aspects of our operations.
Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk and Interest Rate Risk
Our investment strategy is
to achieve a return that will allow us to preserve capital and maintain liquidity requirements. We invest primarily in debt securities,
specifically corporate debt securities. By policy, we limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As of December 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2024, we did not have any material (realized) losses on our marketable debt securities. As of December 31, 2024, unrealized
losses on our marketable debt securities were partially due to temporary interest rate fluctuations as a result of higher market interest
rates compared with interest rates at the time of purchase. We account for both fixed and variable rate securities at fair value with
changes on gains and losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income until the securities are sold.
Other Market Risks
We do not believe that we have any material exposure
to inflationary or other market risks.
