SkyWater Technology Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

Record Revenues for both Q4 and Fiscal Year

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 13, 2023SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, ended January 1, 2023.

Highlights for Q4 2022:

Highlights for Fiscal 2022:

“We are pleased to enter 2023 with growing momentum,” said Thomas Sonderman, SkyWater president and chief executive officer. “2022 was a year in which we achieved a number of our key strategic objectives, including strong revenue growth exceeding our long-term target of 25%, the significant expansion and improved visibility of our pipeline of ATS programs and partnerships and improved operational execution. As these materialized in 2022, we were able to demonstrate the significant operating leverage of our model, generating strong gross margin flow-through and positive adjusted EBITDA.”

Sonderman continued, “As we look ahead, we have a new expected baseline for quarterly revenues of approximately $60 million from which to grow. This is a significant achievement compared to this time last year, a testament to the team’s improved execution driving increased factory efficiency and productivity, along with better pricing in our Wafer Services business. This new baseline, as we enter a challenging macroeconomic environment in 2023, provides the foundation for yet another strong growth year in which we believe we can again achieve revenue growth approaching our long-term target of 25% annually. We believe the growth we expect to achieve in 2023 is largely de-coupled from areas of macroeconomic weakness, as we expect to expand our revenue base above the $60 million level with established, funded and relatively secure ATS programs.”

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, fair value changes in warrants and 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)

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 was not obtained and the customer was unable to meet its contractual payment obligations.

(2)

Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense.

(3)

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.

(4)

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.

(5)

Represents expense for the departure of our former Chief Administrative Officer, which includes primarily severance benefits.

(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 stockholders. 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.

(9)

Includes losses related to the extinguishment of our revolving credit agreement.

(10)

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.

(11)

The Company entered into a revolving credit agreement on December 28, 2022. Our revolving credit arrangement is considered short-term as it requires that the loan be serviced with working capital.
