SkyWater Technology Reports First Quarter 2022 Results
Results Demonstrate Increasing Revenue Momentum and Gross Margin Improvement
BLOOMINGTON, Minn., – MAY 3, 2022 SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2022, ended April 3, 2022.
Total revenue of $48.1 million, up 25% sequentially and flat year-over-year.
Net loss to shareholders of $14.5 million, or (30)% of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA of $(4.8) million, or (10.0)% of revenue.

“The first quarter of 2022 was an important period of progress toward our long-term objectives for above-industry revenue growth, as well as margin expansion and profitability,” said Thomas Sonderman, SkyWater president and chief executive officer. “We executed a revised contract with our largest historical customer that improves our revenue visibility and momentum towards increased profitability, and which recognizes the value SkyWater brings to the semiconductor industry. We achieved sequential revenue growth across multiple programs, including in our strategic growth initiatives in bio-health, high-performance power, extreme-environment microelectronics, and heterogeneous integration applications in the growing market for advanced semiconductor packaging technologies. While labor and supply chain challenges persist, we believe our strategic growth markets are relatively insulated from short-term signs of softness in PCs and smartphones, providing increased confidence in our revenue growth and profitability objectives. In 2022, our first-quarter results provide improved visibility toward our long-term annual growth target of 25%, which continues to be supported by our sales pipeline growth, new and expected program wins, and the progress of multiple platforms towards productization and anticipated revenue ramps into year-end 2022 and 2023.”
Recent Business Updates:
Sequential revenue growth achieved in multiple bio-health, DOD, and high-performance power management customer programs
Executed more favorable terms with our largest historical customer, including increased pricing and improved visibility, with revenue now recognized over time as wafers are fabricated
Continued progress toward pilot production and anticipated second half 2022 revenue ramp with key customer Rockley Photonics, as they are engaged with multiple wearable and medical device customers to expand their biomarker sensing platform
Radiation-hardened progress toward the upcoming completion of the development phase and launch of qualification and productization phases, in preparation for anticipated revenue ramp by year-end 2022
In heterogeneous integration, initiated process for Deca’s M-seriesTM test vehicle builds, which will leverage Deca’s disruptive Adaptive Patterning® technology for fan-out wafer-level packaging applications
Continued progress toward securing long-term agreements across all market verticals, as we create an increasingly robust sales pipeline
As a result of improved pricing and increased revenue volume, ongoing gross margin momentum improved
Continued momentum in U.S. government activities, in partnership with SkyWater, to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base
Increased confidence in 2022 revenue expectations approaching long-term annual growth objective of 25%

Q1 2022 Results:
Revenue: Revenue of $48.1 million was flat year-over-year. Advanced Technology Services revenue of $26.6 million decreased 30% year-over-year due to less non-recurring tool revenue. Advanced Technology Services revenue contains $1.0 million of tool revenue in first quarter 2022 and $15.4 million in first quarter 2021. Wafer Services revenue of $21.5 million increased 115% compared to the first quarter of 2021 driven by the GAAP accounting treatment of the recently revised large customer contract, which resulted in immediate revenue recognition of $8.2 million of work-in-process wafer inventory within the quarter.
Gross Profit (Loss): GAAP gross loss was $0.9 million, or (2.0)% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $9.2 million, or 19.1% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2021. GAAP gross loss for the first quarter of 2022 includes $1.5 million of equity-based compensation and Florida start-up costs. Cost of revenues in first quarter of 2022 also contained $2.8 million for heterogeneous integration and $1.5 million in depreciation for the radiation hardened facility. Non-GAAP gross profit was $0.5 million, or 1.1% of revenue excluding tool sales, compared to gross profit of $3.8 million, or 11.5% of revenue excluding tool sales, in the first quarter of 2021.
Net Loss: GAAP net loss to shareholders was $14.5 million, or $(0.36) per share, compared to a net loss to shareholders of $2.8 million, or $(1.04) per share, in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net loss to shareholders was $10.9 million, or $(0.27) per share, compared to a net loss to shareholders of $2.2 million, or $(0.85) per share, in the first quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $(4.8) million, or (10.0)% of revenue, compared to $5.6 million or 11.7% of revenue in the first quarter of 2021.
Balance Sheet: Cash and cash equivalents were $6.4 million at quarter end, compared to $12.9 million as of January 2, 2022.
A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below in the section titled, “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management utilizes to evaluate our ongoing financial performance and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. We provide non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net loss to shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss per share. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this non-GAAP presentation provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this earnings press release should not be viewed as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because our non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, these measures are susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings press release may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
We also provide adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental non-GAAP measurements. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including fair value changes in contingent considerations, management fees, inventory write-down, corporate conversion and IPO related costs, Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness, SkyWater Florida start-up costs, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, and management transition expense. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income or loss in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, unless otherwise expressly indicated.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measures, calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to our non-GAAP financial measures.

(1)Tool revenue and cost of tool revenue represent the revenue and external costs related to the services we provide to qualify customer funded tool technologies as our customers invest in our capabilities to expand our technology platforms.
(2)Represents the full write-down for inventory to cost of revenue for inventory in which we were contracted to manufacture for a specific customer. The customer's financing for its COVID-19-related business fell through and the customer was unable to meet its contractual payment obligations.
(3)Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
(4)Represents start-up costs associated with our 200 mm heterogeneous integration facility in Kissimmee, Florida, which includes legal fees, recruiting expenses, retention awards and facility start-up expenses. These expenses are not indicative of our ongoing costs and will be discontinued following the start-up of SkyWater Florida.
(5)Represents expenses directly associated with the corporate conversion and IPO, such as professional, consulting, legal and accounting services. This also includes bonus awards granted to employees upon the completion of the IPO. These expenses are not indicative of our ongoing costs and were discontinued following the completion of our initial public offering.
(6)Represents non-cash valuation adjustment of contingent consideration to fair market value during the period.
(7)Represents a related party transaction with Oxbow Industries, our principal stockholder. As these fees are not part of the core business, did not continue after our IPO and are excluded from management’s assessment of the business, we believe it is useful to investors to view our results excluding these fees.
(8)Represents net income attributable to our VIE, which was formed for the purpose of purchasing our land, building with the proceeds of a bank loan. Since depreciation and interest expense are excluded from net loss in our adjusted EBITDA financial measure, we also exclude the net income attributable to the VIE.
