The principal market risks to which we are exposed as a result of our operations are
foreign exchange rate risks and interest rate risks.
Foreign exchange rate risk
Although we report our consolidated financial statements in dollars, in, 2023, 2024
and 2025, a portion of our revenues and direct expenses was derived in other currencies. For fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, we derived
approximately 25.3%, 23.1% and 22.4% of our revenues in dollars and other currencies, 48.2%, 52.1% and 54.6% in NIS, 26.5%, 24.8% and
22.9% in Brazilian Reals. In fiscal years, 2023 ,2024 and 2025, 27.0%, 25.1% and 23.5 % of our expenses were incurred in dollars and other
currencies, 51.2%, 55% and 56.5% in NIS and, 21.8%, 19.9% and 20.0% in Brazilian Reals.
Exchange differences upon conversion from our functional currency to dollars (presentation
currency) are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) under stockholders’ equity. In
the year 2023 a profit of $ 0.8 million, in the year 2024 a loss of $ 12.3 million and in year a profit of $18.3 million 2025.

The fluctuation of the other currencies in which we incur our expenses or generate revenues
against the dollar has had the effect of increasing or decreasing (as applicable) reported revenues, cost of revenues and operating expenses
in such foreign currencies when converted into dollars from period to period. The following table illustrates the effect of the changes
in exchange rates on our revenues, gross profit and operating income for the periods indicated (Year ended December 31, all in $ Thousands):
2023 2024 2025
Actual At 2022 exchange rates (1) Actual At 2023 exchange rates (1) Actual At 2024 exchange rates
Revenues 319,978 329,420 336,257 344,146 359,023 350,084
Gross profit 153,161 158,291 160,620 163,895 178,577 173,866
Operating income 65,955 67,422 71,169 73,518 77,028 75,567
(1) Based on average exchange
rates during the period. Those columns are Non GAAP information.
Our policy remains to reduce exposure
to exchange rate fluctuations by entering into foreign currency forward transactions that mainly qualify as hedging transactions under
ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” the results of which are reflected
in our income statements as revenues or cost of revenues. Currently, the item most likely to be affected by the foreign currency risk
is our inventory purchase price. Therefore, from time to time, we enter into such forward contracts, generally of 3 to 20 months’
duration in order to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk on the inventory purchase price. The result of these transactions, which
are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, could cause our cost of revenues, gross profit and operating income to fluctuate.
Interest rate risk
We invest our cash balances in each country in local currency in bank deposits and therefore,
we are exposed to interest rate fluctuation in those currencies, but we do not believe such risks to be material. We do not use derivative
financial instruments to limit exposure to interest rate risk.
