War in Gaza

In October 2023, the Israeli government declared a state of war in response to an attack on civilians at its southern border. Subsequently, additional attacks were launched towards northern Israel. The new security situation has led to several challenges, including some disruptions in supply chains, a shortage of personnel due to mobilization for reserve duty, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the Israeli shekel.

Regional tensions involving Houthis attacks on commercial ships have recently intensified, affecting shipping operation at the Red Sea. This could lead to delays in shipments as well as increased shipping costs.

The Company has taken measures to ensure the safety of its employees and business partners, as well as the communities in which it operates, in order to minimize any potential impact on its business, including avoidance of disruption to production in its facilities in Israel.

The security situation in recent months has not had a material impact on the Company's business results. As of today, the majority of the Company’s employees in Israel who had been called up for reserve duty have now returned to full-time work.

However, since the developments related to the war situation, as well as its duration, are unpredictable, the Company has no ability to estimate the extent of the war’s potential impact on its future business and results. The Company continuously monitors the developments and will take all necessary actions to minimize any negative consequences to its operations and assets.
