Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2025, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2026, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, bank deposits, marketable securities, foreign exchange contracts and trade receivables. The Company invests its surplus cash in cash deposits and marketable securities in financial institutions and has established guidelines relating to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity of the investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in high grade certificates of deposits with major U.S., European and Israeli banks. Generally, cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits may be redeemed on demand and therefore minimal credit risk exists with respect to them. Nonetheless, deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions, to the extent such deposits are even insured in such foreign jurisdictions. Generally, these cash equivalents may be redeemed upon demand, and therefore management believes that they bear a lower risk. The short-term bank deposits are held in financial institutions that management believes are institutions with high credit standing and, accordingly, minimal credit risk from geographic or credit concentration. Furthermore, the Company holds an investment portfolio consisting principally of corporate bonds. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized loss positions, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will hold these securities until maturity or a recovery of the cost basis. No material credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities were recorded during the periods presented. The Company’s trade receivables are geographically diverse, mainly in the Asia Pacific region, and also in the United States and Europe. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company makes estimates of expected credit losses based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the trade receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. As of March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses amounted to $288. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). This amendment introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. The Company has elected the practical expedient provided by ASU 2025-05. Under this expedient, the Company assumes that economic conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of all current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted by the Company In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain expense captions presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as well as disclosure about selling expense. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. It could be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout ASC 350-40. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date; or follow a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The update provides recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for government grants, including guidance for grants related to an asset and grants related to income. The amendments introduced two permitted approaches for asset-related grants: a deferred income approach or a cost accumulation approach. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2029, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU was updated to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures within ASC No. 270 and to clarify when the guidance applies. This ASU is not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either through a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Government Grants and Tax Credits [Policy Text Block] | Government grants and tax credits On March 31, 2026, the Israeli Knesset enacted Chapter 10, "Law for the Encouragement and Incentivization of Research and Development, 2026" (the “R&D Law”). The R&D Law introduces a refundable tax credit regime for qualifying research and development expenditures incurred in Israel, effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2026. Subject to certain conditions, eligible companies may apply the credit against Israeli income taxes or Israeli qualified domestic minimum top-up tax, or alternatively receive a government grant to the extent the credit is not utilized. Government grants and refundable tax credits, such as those provided under the recently enacted Israeli legislation, are recognized as a reduction to the related expense when there is reasonable assurance that the Company complies with required conditions and the incentive will be received. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded $203 of Israeli tax credits as a reduction of research and development expenses.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
