We are exposed to market risk from changes in exchange rates, interest rates and inflation. All of these market risks arise in the ordinary course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. The following analysis provides additional information regarding these risks.
Foreign Currency and Exchange Risk
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our sales are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars, British Pounds and Euros. A significant portion of our operating costs are in Israel, consisting principally of salaries and related personnel expenses, and facility expenses, which are denominated in NIS. This foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. dollar against the NIS and other currencies. Furthermore, we anticipate that a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in NIS. We hedge against currency risk through the use of forward currency contracts and cylinder contracts. See “Risk factors—Risks relating to our business and industry— Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks and costs, including the ability to engage with customers in new geographies, exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, that can adversely affect our business, financial condition, revenue, results of operations or cash flows.” A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would have had an impact on our net loss of $9.8 million and $11.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits of $74.4 million and $78.8 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, bank deposits, and money market funds. Our cash, cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Additionally, certain of these cash investments are maintained at balances beyond Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, coverage limits or are not insured by the FDIC. Accordingly, there may be a risk that we will not recover the full principal of our cash investments. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs and the fiduciary control of cash. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our historical consolidated financial statements.
We had no outstanding borrowings under the SVB LSA as of December 31, 2025. The SVB LSA carried a variable interest equal to the greater of (i) a floating per annum rate equal to 0.25% above the prime rate set forth in the SVB LSA or (ii) a fixed per annum rate equal to 3.50%. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Inflation
While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we do not believe inflation has had a material effect on our historical results of operations and financial condition. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset higher costs through price increases or other corrective measures, and our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted in the United States on August 16, 2022 and includes a number of provisions that may impact us in the future. We have assessed these impacts for this Annual Report, and do not expect the new law to have a material impact on our financial statements.
