NOTE 4:

CREDIT LOSSES

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales to customers. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is developed using historical collection experience and current and future economic and market conditions.

The estimate of the amount of trade receivable that may not be collected is based on the geographic location of the trade receivable balances, aging of the trade receivable balances, the financial condition of customers and the Company’s historical experience with customers in similar geographies. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers who have a higher probability of default.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the trade receivables balance to present the net amount expected to be collected:

	June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
	$ thousands			$ thousands
Balance, at beginning of period		13,796			24,602
Provision for expected credit losses		214			621

Amounts written off charged against the allowance and others		-			(1,814	)

Balance, at end of period		13,942			13,796
