Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this Amendment) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2018 (the Original Filing) by Ormat Technologies, Inc. (the Company). Restatement As further discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, on May 16, 2018, we concluded that we should restate our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 to correct for (i) errors in our income tax provision primarily related to the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits in the U.S. prior to their expiration and the resulting impact on the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and (ii) the inappropriate netting of certain deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities across different tax jurisdictions which was not permissible under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, we also concluded that we would revise our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 to correct for errors in our income tax provision primarily related to the translation of deferred tax liabilities in a foreign subsidiary. In connection with these restatements and revisions, the Company also recorded adjustments to correct other immaterial tax errors. This decision to restate and revise our previously issued financial statements was approved by, and with the continuing oversight of, the Company's Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee. These error corrections also resulted in the restatement, for 2017, and revision, for 2016, of the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which restatements and revisions have been effected through the Company's filing of amended Form 10-Q’s. The revision of the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 will be effected in connection with the Company's filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The impact of the restatement and revision of these unaudited periods, along with the restatement of the financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and the revision of the financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, has been reflected within the unaudited quarterly financial information footnote in the accompanying 2017 audit financial statements. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management, under the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 using criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO and, based on this evaluation, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. For a description of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and actions taken, and to be taken, to address the material weaknesses, see Part II, Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" of this 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Amendment Accordingly, the purpose of this Amendment is to (i) restate the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, (ii) revise the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, all contained in Part II, Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"; and (iii) revise the Selected Financial Data in Part II, Item 6. This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A also includes (a) in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, revised disclosures relating to the restatement, (b) in Part II, Item 8, restated unaudited quarterly financial data for each of the quarters ended June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2017 and revised unaudited quarterly financial data for each quarter in the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, (c) in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," to reflect the correction of the errors described above and (d) an additional paragraph in Part II, Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" including "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" of the Original Filing to reflect the conclusions by the Company’s management that the identified deficiency in the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting related to its accounting for income taxes resulted in the errors described above. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update any of the other disclosures contained therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment discussed above. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment. Items Amended in this Filing For reasons discussed above, we are filing this Amendment in order to amend the following items in our Original Report to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments discussed above and make corresponding revisions to our financial data cited elsewhere in this Amendment: Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amended Report includes new certifications required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of filing of this Amended Report. |  |
