SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that SkyWater Technology, Inc. (“SkyWater,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) believes to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, our expectations regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “seek,” “potential,” “believe,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” and “project” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar words or expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Key factors that may affect our results include, among others, the following:
our goals and strategies;
our future business development, financial condition, and results of operations;
our ability to continue operating our fabrication facilities at full capacity;
our ability to appropriately respond to changing technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis;
our customer relationships and our ability to retain and expand our customer relationships;
our ability to accurately predict our future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting and adjusting our expenses;
our expectations regarding dependence on our largest customers;
our ability to diversify our customer base and develop relationships in new markets;
the performance and reliability of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
our ability to procure tools, materials, and chemicals;
our ability to control costs, including our operating and capital expenses;

our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; and
other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Moreover, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects may be affected by new risks that could emerge from time to time. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and outcomes discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or outcomes. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views only as of the date hereof. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to conform such statements to changes in expectations or to actual results, or for any other reason, except as required by law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof.

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1 Nature of Business
SkyWater Technology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “SkyWater,” the “Company,” “it,” or “its”), is a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from its fabrication facility, or fab, in Minnesota and advanced packaging services from its Florida facility. SkyWater’s technology-as-a-service model leverages a foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property with its customers that enables disruptive concepts through its Advanced Technology Services (“ATS”) for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits (“ICs”)) and related micro and nanotechnology applications. In addition to these differentiated technology development services, SkyWater supports customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through its Wafer Services.
SkyWater is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 29, 2024, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share data), are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with SkyWater’s annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2023 and for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 29, 2024 and its consolidated results of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023.
The consolidated results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, or for any other interim period, or for any other future fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which SkyWater is the primary beneficiary and an affiliate of the Company’s principal shareholder. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Cash Requirements
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of uncertainties.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred net income attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $1,512 and a net loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $6,114, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the Company incurred net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $7,568 and $20,431, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20,684 and $18,382, respectively.

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except per share data)
SkyWater’s ability to execute its operating strategy is dependent on its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through the Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. The Company has identified specific actions it could take to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require the Company to decrease its level of investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of its business. The Company has also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”), an affiliate of the Company’s principal stockholder, to provide funding in an amount up to $12,500, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due. The support letter expires March 18, 2026. Based upon SkyWater’s operating forecasts, its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on the Revolver, and potential cost reduction measures it could undertake, management believes SkyWater will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Additionally, the Company could seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver, however it cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company’s ability to access additional funds depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond SkyWater’s control.
SkyWater has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods then ended. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations, and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the reporting periods determined using the treasury-stock method. Because the Company reported net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024 and three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 1,637 and 1,416, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For each of the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 2,258 excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Reportable Segment Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. SkyWater operates and manages its business as one reportable segment.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” later codified in Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“Topic 326”). Topic 326 replaces the preexisting U.S. GAAP guidance that only required the recognition of credit losses when losses were probable and estimable. Topic 326 now requires recognition of credit losses based on SkyWater’s expectation of losses to be incurred while the financial instrument is held. Topic 326 was effective for most public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater adopted Topic 326 on January 2, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $375 for the effects of increasing its allowance for credit losses as of January 2, 2023. All other impacts to SkyWater’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows were immaterial.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. SkyWater will reflect the amended disclosure requirements of this update in its annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024 and for the interim periods in its fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. Given that the Company reports as a single reportable segment, the impacts of adopting the provisions of this update will not be significant.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update improve existing income tax disclosures, notably with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater currently anticipates that it will adopt the amendments in this update for its fiscal year ending January 3, 2027. If the Company ceases to qualify as an emerging growth company before the end of its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, the Company will adopt this ASU at an earlier date. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental cost of obtaining a contract with a customer (i.e., deferred contract costs) when costs are considered recoverable and the duration of the contract is in excess of one year. Deferred contract costs are amortized as the related revenue is recognized. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $0 for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024 and recognized accretion of deferred contract costs of $43 for the three-month period ended October 1, 2023. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $172 and $757 for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.
Contract Assets
Contract assets represent SkyWater’s rights to payments for services it has transferred to its customers, but has not yet billed to its customers. Contract assets were $29,179 and $29,666 at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are presented net of allowances for expected credit losses of $42 and $99, respectively, and net of accrued contract liabilities arising from certain contracts expected to generate losses over the remaining period of performance. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company maintained liabilities of $175 and $0, respectively, arising from long-term production-type contracts with the U.S. Federal government expected to generate losses over the period of performance.

Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities principally consist of deferred revenue on customer contracts and deferred lease revenue representing customer prepayments on a leasing arrangement in which the Company serves as lessor. Deferred revenue on customer contracts represents payments from customers for which performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. In some instances, cash may be received, or payment may be contractually due by a customer before the related revenue is recognized. The contract liabilities and other significant components of contract liabilities at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Remaining Performance Obligations
At September 29, 2024, the Company had $117,924 of remaining performance obligations that had not been fully satisfied on contracts with original expected durations of one year or more, which were primarily related to ATS development and tools revenue contracts. The Company expects to recognize those revenues as it satisfies its performance obligations within the next 6.5 years.
The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Further, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when it transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

(1)Tool financing advance payments represent proceeds received from equipment lenders prior to the Company placing underlying manufacturing tools and other equipment into service. When the underlying tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lender the outstanding financial obligation over a period of time, and the advance payments are converted to tool financing loans and classified as long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Tool financings are often accounted for as failed sale and leasebacks.
Revolver
On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of up to $100.0 million with a scheduled maturity date of December 28, 2025 (the “Revolver”). The outstanding balance of the Revolver was $21,334 as of September 29, 2024 at an interest rate of 10.6%. Borrowing under the Revolver is limited by a borrowing base of specified advance rates applicable to billed accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory and equipment, subject to various conditions and limits as provided in the Loan Agreement. As the borrowing base of $96,914 was below the borrowing limit, the remaining availability under the Revolver was $75,580 as of September 29, 2024. As of September 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants of the Revolver.

VIE Financing
On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, the Company’s consolidated VIE (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions and Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity), entered into a loan agreement for $39,000 (the “VIE Financing”) to finance the acquisition of the land and building of the SkyWater Minnesota facility. The VIE Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $194 over 10 years, with the remaining balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. The interest rate under the VIE Financing is fixed at 3.44%. The VIE Financing is guaranteed by Oxbow Industries, who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty. The VIE financing is not subject to financial debt default covenants.
The terms of the VIE Financing include provisions that grant the lender several protective rights when certain triggering events defined in the loan agreement occur, including events tied to the Company’s occupancy of the SkyWater Minnesota facility and SkyWater’s financial performance. The triggering events are not financial covenants and the occurrence of a triggering event does not represent a default event, nor does it result in the VIE Financing becoming callable, rather the protective rights become enforceable by the lender. As defined in the loan agreement, a triggering event occurred beginning in the three-month period ended January 1, 2023 based on the level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, as defined in the loan agreement, reported by SkyWater historically. Pursuant to its protective rights, the lender retained in a restricted account amounts paid by SkyWater to Oxbow Realty that were in excess of the scheduled debt payments paid by Oxbow Realty to the lender. The triggering event was cured during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and the funds held in the restricted account were remitted back to Oxbow Realty. No triggering events as defined in the loan agreement existed as of September 29, 2024.
Tool Financing Loans
The Company, from time to time, enters into financing arrangements with equipment lenders to finance the purchase of manufacturing tools and other equipment. These agreements are often structured as sale and leasebacks, to which the leases includes bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms that the Company intends to exercise. The Company accounts for these transactions as failed sale and leasebacks with the associated tools recorded in property and equipment, net and the proceeds received from equipment lenders recorded as financing obligations on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to placing a tool into service, advanced payments received from equipment lenders are recorded as short-term financings on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the financed tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lenders the outstanding financial obligations over a period of time. Upon execution of the financing arrangements, the financing obligation is classified as long-term debt. Advance payments of tools that have been financed by equipment lenders prior to placing the underlying tool into service totaled $0 and $3,822 as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Maturities
Future principal payments of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:
Remainder of 2024$1,232

Note 7 Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 differ from its 21% U.S. statutory corporate tax rate due to the impact of state income taxes, permanent tax differences, the tax impact of the vesting of employee equity awards, and changes in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The effective tax rate in any quarter can be affected, positively or negatively, by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution. The effective income tax rates were 3.4% and 1.4% for the three-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and (0.2)% and 0.4% for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.
Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary. As part of the evaluation, management assesses taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies the execution of which are in the Company’s control, and future expectations of income. Based upon this analysis, a valuation allowance of $27,655 and $26,111 was recorded at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Company would accrue income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no interest or penalties incurred during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023.
In August 2022, the U.S. enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (the “CHIPS Act”). The CHIPS Act provides incentives to semiconductor chip manufacturers in the U.S., including providing a 25% manufacturing investment credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing property placed in service after December 31, 2022, for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. Property investments qualify for the 25% credit if, among other requirements, the property is integral to the operation of an advanced manufacturing facility, defined as having a primary purpose of manufacturing semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Note 8 Shareholders’ Equity
On September 2, 2022, SkyWater entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC with respect to an at the market offering program (the “ATM Program”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell up to $100,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company did not sell shares under the ATM Program. During the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the Company sold 779,697 and 2,081,167 shares under the ATM Program, respectively. From the date of the ATM program through September 29, 2024, the Company has cumulatively sold 2,516,586 shares at an average sale price of $9.96 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25,070 before deducting sales commissions and fees of approximately $1,212. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down the Revolver and fund its operations.

Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Asserted Claims
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and subject to other asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the resolution of these ordinary-course matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is resolved in a manner that is favorable to the Company, such litigation can have a negative impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from its business, and other factors. There were no material litigation-related or other asserted claim contingencies recognized at either September 29, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Capital Expenditures
The Company has various contracts outstanding with third parties, primarily related to the purchase of tools. The Company had $7,505 and $7,910 of contractual commitments outstanding as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that it expects to pay in the next twelve months using cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Center for NeoVation
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a technology and economic development agreement (the “TED Agreement”), and a lease agreement (the “CfN Lease”) with the government of Osceola County, Florida (“Osceola”) and ICAMR, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation (also known as “BRIDG”), to lease and operate the Center for NeoVation (the “CfN”), a semiconductor research and development and manufacturing facility in Florida. Under the CfN Lease, the Company agrees to bring the plant to full production capacity within five years, and then to operate the plant at full capacity for an additional 15 years. At the end of the lease, SkyWater will take ownership of the facility. The Company is responsible for taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, operation of the assets, and making capital investments in the facility to bring the facility to its full production capacity. Investments and costs required to bring the facility to its full capacity will be substantial. The Company may terminate the TED Agreement and CfN Lease with 18 months’ notice. In the event the Company terminates the agreements, the Company must continue to operate the CfN until either a replacement operator for the CfN is identified, or the 18-month termination notice period expires. The Company may be required to make a payment of up to $15,000 to Osceola upon termination.

As part of entering into the TED Agreement, the Company agreed to operate the advanced wastewater treatment facility (“AWT Facility”), a separate building located on the same leased premise as the CfN and subject to the CfN Lease. The AWT Facility was financed in substantial part by funds provided by the Tohopekaliga Water Authority (“TWA”) to house the acid waste neutralization and pH adjustment treatment system and the reverse osmosis water treatment system. In connection with entering into the CfN Lease, the Company agreed that development of the CfN requires the payment of water, wastewater and reuse water capacity charges imposed by TWA monthly over the remaining period of six years. The Company also agreed that TWA shall be entitled to recover the capital contribution of TWA for construction of the AWT Facility through a capital reimbursement surcharge monthly over the remaining period of six years. As of September 29, 2024, the Company expects future payments on these commitments of approximately $3,700.
Build Back Better Grant
In third quarter 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration granted funds to Osceola and BRIDG for continued development of Central Florida’s Semiconductor Cluster for Broad-Based Prosperity through the Build Back Better Regional Challenge, a portion of which is committed to the expansion of the CfN and purchase, installation, and qualification of tools in the CfN. In February 2023, SkyWater committed to a 20% matching share contribution of the project costs to Osceola totaling $9,100. SkyWater’s commitment to fund this matching contribution is limited to $1,000 in any single calendar quarter. As of September 29, 2024, SkyWater has not been obligated to pay any portion of the matching contribution to which it has committed.

Note 11 Related Party Transactions
In August 2022, SkyWater entered into an agreement with Oxbow Industries to provide funding in an amount up to $12,500, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due. In March 2024, the agreement was amended to extend the term through March 18, 2026. No amounts have been provided to the Company under this agreement.
Sale-Leaseback Transaction
On September 29, 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to sell the land and building of its Minnesota facility to Oxbow Realty. In the fourth quarter of 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to lease the land and building back from Oxbow Realty for initial lease payments of $394 per month over 20 years. The monthly payments are subject to a 2% increase each year during the term of the lease. In the most recent month, the rental payment to Oxbow Realty was $426. The Company is also required to make certain customary payments constituting “additional rent,” including certain monthly reserve, insurance, and tax payments, in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of September 29, 2024 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity):

Note 12 Variable Interest Entity
Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions on behalf of Oxbow Industries. This included facilitating the purchase of the land and building of SkyWater’s Minnesota facility with proceeds from a bank loan (see Note 6 – Debt) and managing the leaseback of the land and building to SkyWater (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions). Management determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”), because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. Furthermore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as it has the power over those activities that most significantly affect Oxbow Realty’s economic performance, mainly activities focused on the operation and maintenance of the Minnesota facility. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Oxbow Realty pursuant to Topic 810, eliminating any transactions between the Company and Oxbow Realty, and recording a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Oxbow Realty attributable to parties other than the Company’s common stock shareholders. In addition, the assets of Oxbow Realty can only be used to settle its liabilities, and the creditors of Oxbow Realty do not have recourse to the general credit of SkyWater.
The following table shows the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Oxbow Realty that are consolidated by the Company as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to the elimination of intercompany balances.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those discussed or implied in the Company’s forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” herein and elsewhere in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
SkyWater refers to the three-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 as the third quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively. Each of these three-month periods includes 13 weeks. The nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 are referred to as the first nine months of 2024 and the first nine months of 2023, respectively. Each of these nine-month periods includes 39 weeks. All percentage amounts and ratios presented in this management’s discussion and analysis were calculated using the underlying data in thousands. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes identified for the current period results represent comparisons to results for the prior corresponding period.
For purposes of this section, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “SkyWater” refer to SkyWater Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.
Overview
We are a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from our fabrication facility, or fab, in Minnesota and advanced packaging services from our Florida facility. Our Technology-as-a-Service model leverages a foundation of proprietary technology, engineering know-how capabilities, and microelectronics manufacturing capacity to co-develop process technology intellectual property (“IP”) with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services (“ATS”) for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits (“ICs”)) and related micro- and nanotechnology applications. In addition to differentiated technology development services, we support customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through our Wafer Services.
The combination of semiconductor development and manufacturing services we provide our customers is not available to them from a conventional fab. In addition, we believe our status as a publicly-traded, U.S.-based, U.S. headquartered pure-play technology foundry with Defense Microelectronics Activity Category 1A Trusted Accreditation from the U.S. Department of Defense positions us well to provide distinct, competitive advantages to our customers. These advantages include the benefits of enhanced IP security and secure access to a U.S. domestic supply chain.
We primarily focus on serving diversified, high-growth end users in numerous vertical markets, including (1) advanced compute, (2) aerospace and defense, (3) automotive, (4) bio-health, and (5) industrial. By housing both development and manufacturing in a single operation, we rapidly and efficiently transition newly-developed processes to high-yielding volume production, eliminating the time it would otherwise take to transfer production to a third-party fab. Through our ATS model, we specialize in co-creating advanced solutions with our customers that directly serve our end markets, such as infrared imaging, superconducting ICs for quantum computing and sensing, Rad-hard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (“CMOS”), integrated photonics, microelectromechanical systems (“MEMS”), technologies for biomedical and imaging applications, and advanced packaging. Our Wafer Services include the manufacture of silicon-based analog and mixed-signal ICs for our end markets. Our focus on the differentiated analog and CMOS markets supports long product life-cycles and requirements that value performance over cost-efficiencies, and leverages our portfolio IP.
Before we began independent operations, our Minnesota fab was owned and operated by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress”) as a captive manufacturing facility for 26 years. We have leveraged Cypress systems, manufacturing technology, and process development capabilities to advance our product offerings. We became an independent company in 2017 when we were acquired by an affiliate of Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”) as part of a divestiture from Cypress. Our multi-year foundry services agreement with Cypress, which ended in 2020, created a runway for us to operate the foundry at a high utilization rate while continuing to expand and diversify the customer base transferred by Cypress. Cypress was acquired in 2020 by Infineon Technologies AG.

Factors and Trends Affecting our Business and Results of Operations
The following trends and uncertainties either affected our financial performance during the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 or are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future.
Macroeconomic and competitive conditions, including cyclicality and consolidation, as well as government funding in semiconductor technology and manufacturing, create unique challenges and opportunities for the semiconductor industry and SkyWater.
In August 2022, the U.S. enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (the “CHIPS Act”) pursuant to which the United States has committed to a renewed focus on providing incentives and funding for onshore companies to develop and advance the latest semiconductor technologies, supporting onshore manufacturing capabilities, and on strengthening key onshore supply chains. The CHIPS Act authorizes the U.S. Department of Commerce to enable execution of awards under the CHIPS Act and provides $52.7 billion for American semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development, including $39 billion in financial assistance to build, expand, or modernize domestic facilities and equipment for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, or research and development. In December 2023, we submitted an application to the CHIPS Program Office of the U.S. Department of Commerce for funding through the CHIPS and Science Act for modernization and equipment upgrades to enhance production at our Minnesota facility.
Additionally, the CHIPS Act provides incentives to semiconductor chip manufacturers in the U.S., including providing a 25% manufacturing investment credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing property placed in service after December 31, 2022, for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. Property investments qualify for the 25% credit if, among other requirements, the property is integral to the operation of an advanced manufacturing facility, defined as having a primary purpose of manufacturing semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment. In October 2024, we received a registration number from the Internal Revenue Service that enabled us to claim $1,624 of refundable manufacturing investment credits on our federal tax return for the 2023 tax year.
We project customer-funded capital investment to be a significant driver of the success of our business model, as we expect customers to invest in our capabilities and enable us to develop technology platforms that will drive our future growth.
Our overall level of indebtedness from our revolving credit agreement, which we refer to as the Revolver (as defined below and in Note 6 – Debt of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing), financing arising from the sale and leaseback of the land and building of our Minnesota facility, which we refer to as the VIE Financing, financing arrangements with equipment lenders to finance the purchase of manufacturing tools and other equipment, which we refer to as the tool financing loans, and the corresponding interest rates charged to us by our lenders, are key components of maintaining capital funding that allow us to continue to grow our business.
Financial Performance Metrics
Our senior management team regularly reviews certain key financial performance metrics within our business, including:
Revenue, gross profit, and gross margin; and
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue, which are financial measures not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For information regarding our non-GAAP financial measure, see the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below.

Revenue
Revenue was $93.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $71.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $22.2 million, or 31%. Revenue was $266.8 million for the first nine months of 2024 compared to $207.5 million for the first nine months of 2023, an increase of $59.3 million, or 29%. The increases in revenue were driven by increases in ATS development revenue and tools revenue, partially offset by a decrease in wafer services revenue.
The following table shows revenue by service type for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 and 2023:
Third Quarter EndedFirst Nine Months Ended

Total$93,817 $71,624 $266,782 $207,529 
ATS development revenue increased $2.5 million, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024. Continued momentum in U.S. government programs to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base drove an increase in revenue of $6.1 million. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $1.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million in the consumer, cloud computing, and bio-health end-markets, respectively due to cyclicality of the stages of our customers’ development programs.
ATS development revenue increased $25.5 million, or 17%, from the first nine months of 2023 to the first nine months of 2024. Continued momentum in U.S. government programs to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base drove an increase in revenue of $37.0 million. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $5.5 million, $4.8 million, and $1.6 million in the consumer, cloud computing, and bio-health end-markets, respectively, due to cyclicality of the stages of our customers’ development programs.
Tools revenue increased $27.5 million from the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024, and increased $60.3 million from the first nine months of 2023 to the first nine months of 2024, driven by increased investment by our customers to acquire tools that advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs.
The decreases in Wafer Services revenue of $7.8 million, or 54%, from the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024 and $26.6 million, or 54%, from the first nine months of 2023 to the first nine months of 2024 were primarily driven by decreased activity within the automotive end-markets as a result of higher inventory levels and softening demand in our automotive customers’ end markets.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased $16.1 million to $73.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $57.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $27.6 million increase in the cost of tools revenue arising from increased tools revenue as we procure tools on behalf of our customers to advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs and a $3.7 million increase in costs related to facility expansion and other services provided to our customers as their programs grow. Partially offsetting these increases are; the benefit from the reversal of a $5.6 million program loss accrual initially recognized in the first quarter of 2024 arising from a contract modification with our customer that reduced the estimated costs of completing their program and reestablished the program to profitability; a $0.8 million decrease in labor costs primarily due to lower variable compensation expense; a $2.9 million decrease in depreciation expense as depreciation of stepped up fair values on the assets acquired from Cypress in 2017 were fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2024; a $2.5 million decrease in our fab operating costs; a $0.7 million decrease in royalty expense due to more favorable royalty rates following a contract re-negotiation; and a $0.5 million decrease in bad debt expense due to improved collections.

For the first nine months of 2024, cost of revenue increased $56.2 million to $216.5 million from $160.2 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a $60.0 million increase in the cost of tools revenue arising from increased tools revenue as we procure tools on behalf of our customers to advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs and an additional cost of $15.6 million related to facility expansion and other services provided to our customers as their programs grow. Partially offsetting these increases were: a $2.7 million decrease in labor costs primarily due to lower variable compensation expense; an $8.3 million decrease in depreciation expense as depreciation of stepped up fair values on the assets acquired from Cypress in 2017 were fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2024; a $2.5 million decrease in
31

our fab operating costs; a $1.7 million decrease in royalty expense due to more favorable royalty rates following a contract re-negotiation; and a $3.9 million decrease in bad debt expense due to improved collections.
Research and development expense
Research and development expense increased $1.2 million to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, research and development expense increased $3.5 million to $10.8 million from $7.3 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increases were primarily attributable to increased RH90 and S90 platform development efforts.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $4.0 million to $12.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, from $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease in external management and operations consulting services as a result of completing the service engagements in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a $1.2 million reduction in bad debt expense due to improved collections on aged invoices.
For the first nine months of 2024, selling, general and administrative expense decreased $13.2 million to $35.6 million from $48.8 million for the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in external management and operations consulting services as a result of completing the service engagements in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a $3.2 million reduction in bad debt expense due to improved collections on aged invoices.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $0.5 million to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to decreased amounts outstanding under the Revolver in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023.
For the first nine months of 2024, interest expense decreased $1 million to $6.9 million from $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to decreased amounts outstanding under the Revolver in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023.
Income tax (benefit) expense
Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.1 million benefit for the third quarter of 2023. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 3.4%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 1.4% for the third quarter of 2023. Income tax benefit was $0.0 million for the first nine months of 2024 which remained flat with the first nine months of 2023. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was (0.2)%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 0.4% for the first nine months of 2023. Our effective tax rates for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 and for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to application of a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets based on our assessment of our ability to utilize those deferred tax assets in future periods.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, and decreased to $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2024 from $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2023. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests reflects the net income of Oxbow Realty, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), the variable interest entity (“VIE”), that we consolidate and represents the economic interest in the profits and losses of the VIE that our common stock shareholders do not legally have rights or obligations to. The respective increase and decreases in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests during the third quarter of 2024 and the first nine months of 2024 primarily relates to timing differences in the recognition of interest income from the intercompany lease arrangement with Oxbow Realty and when rent increases were effective as described in Note 11 - Related Party Transactions of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing) and other sources of financing. We have identified specific actions that we could take to reduce operating costs and improve cash flows, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require us to decrease our level of planned investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of our business. We have also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, an affiliate of our principal stockholder, to provide funding in an amount up to $12.5 million, if necessary, to enable us to meet our obligations as they become due. The support letter expires March 18, 2026. Based upon our operational forecasts, our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our available borrowings on the Revolver, and potential cost reduction measures we could take, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the date the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Additionally, we could seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver. However, we cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed, or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. Our ability to access additional funds depend on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us.
We had $20.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, not including cash held by a VIE that we consolidate, and availability under our Revolver of $75.6 million at September 29, 2024. We are subject to certain liquidity and EBITDA covenants under our Loan Agreement, as outlined in the section below entitled “Indebtedness.”
ATM Program
For the first nine months of 2024, SkyWater did not sell shares under the ATM Program (as defined in Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing). From the date of the ATM Program through the third quarter of 2024, the Company has cumulatively sold 2.5 million shares under the ATM Program at an average sale price of $9.96 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25.1 million before deducting sales commissions and fees of approximately $1.2 million. SkyWater used the net proceeds to pay down the Revolver and fund its operations.
Capital Expenditures
For the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, we spent approximately $15.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, on capital expenditures, including purchases of property, equipment and software. The majority of these capital expenditures relate to improvements at our Minnesota facility and the development of our advanced packaging capabilities at our Center for NeoVation in Florida, as well as $6.7 million of capital expenditures undertaken by Oxbow Realty, our consolidated VIE. We anticipate our cash on hand and the availability under the Revolver will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2024.
We have approximately $7.5 million of contractual commitments relating to various anticipated capital expenditures outstanding at September 29, 2024 that we expect to pay during the remainder of 2024 through cash on hand and operating cash flows.

Working Capital
Historically, we have depended on cash on hand, funds available under our Revolver and proceeds of equity security offerings to fund our operations. In the future, we may need to depend on additional debt and equity financings to fund our growth strategy, working capital needs, and capital expenditures. We believe that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide cash, as required, to support our strategy, ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations, and working capital for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain future debt or equity financings on commercially reasonable terms sufficient to meet our cash requirements.
At September 29, 2024, the outstanding balance of our Revolver was $21.3 million, and our remaining availability under the Revolver was $75.6 million. As of September 29, 2024, we were in compliance with applicable financial covenants of the Revolver and expect to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months.
The following table sets forth general information derived from our interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $20.7 million and $18.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. A discussion of the change in cash and cash equivalents can be found below.
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operations is driven by changes in the working capital needs associated with the various goods and services we provide, and expenses related to the infrastructure in place to support revenue generation. Working capital is primarily affected by changes in accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and contract liabilities, all of which are partially correlated to, and impacted by, changes in the timing and volume of activities performed in our facilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.7 million during the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $41.4 million from the $21.7 million of cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2023. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2024 was driven by: a $28.7 million increase in the change in accounts receivable and contract assets during the period due to improved cash collection efforts as a result of a higher quality customer mix and timing on invoicing for unbilled work; a $15.0 million increase in the change in contract liabilities during the period due to the timing of receipt of customer payments and completion of performance obligations, notably with respect to tools; a $13.7 million improvement in operating results during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023; and a $4.2 million increase in the change in inventories during the period as our spare parts inventory was greater utilized and consumed. This increase was partially offset by: a $10.6 million decrease in the change in accrued expenses and accounts payable during the period due to the timing of the payment of amounts owed to our vendors and large accruals for consulting services and accrued compensation in the prior year; a $8.4 million decrease in depreciation expense during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023 as depreciation of stepped up fair values on the assets acquired from Cypress in 2017 were fully depreciated in the first quarter of 2024; and a $3.9 million decrease in bad debt expense during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023 as collections improved.
Investing Activities
Our investments in capital expenditures are intended to enable revenue growth in new and expanding markets, help us meet product demand, and increase our manufacturing efficiencies and capacity. Net cash used in investing activities was $15.8 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to $4.5 million during the first nine months of 2023 as we continue to invest in our development and manufacturing capabilities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $11.3 million for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to increases of $10.0 million and $1.3 million in purchase of property and equipment and purchases of software and technology licenses, respectively. Increases in purchases of property and equipment were driven by investments made by Oxbow Realty, our consolidated VIE, of $6.7 million during the first nine months of 2024 compared to no such investments during the first nine months of 2023. Customers continue to invest heavily in our development and production capabilities, which reduces the amount of future capital investment required to achieve our growth plans.
34

Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities decreased $15.1 million during the first nine months of 2024 to $1.6 million of net cash used in financing activities from $13.5 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in cash flows from financing activities during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 was primarily driven by: a $20.4 million decrease in proceeds from our ATM program as we have not issued common stock under the ATM program in 2024; $6.1 million fewer tool financing proceeds received in the first nine months of 2024 due to fewer tools being financed; and a $1.4 million increase in principal payments on long-term debt. These decreases are offset by: a $11.2 million decrease in net repayments on our Revolver; and $1.4 million increase in net contributions from noncontrolling interest to fund capital expenditures made by Oxbow Realty.
35

Indebtedness
Sale Leaseback Transaction
In 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building of our Minnesota facility to Oxbow Realty, an affiliate of our principal stockholder, for $39.0 million, less applicable transaction costs of $1.5 million and transaction services fees paid to Oxbow Realty of $2.0 million, and paid a guarantee fee to our principal stockholder of $2.0 million. We subsequently entered into an agreement to leaseback the land and building from Oxbow Realty for initial payments of $0.4 million per month over 20 years. The monthly payments are subject to a 2% increase each year during the term of the lease. We are also required to make certain customary payments constituting “additional rent,” including certain monthly reserve, insurance, and tax payments, in accordance with the terms of the lease. Due to our continuing involvement in the property, we are accounting for the transactions as a failed sale and leaseback. Under failed sale and leaseback accounting, we are deemed the owner of the land and building with the proceeds received recorded as a financial obligation. As Oxbow Realty is a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary (as described in Note 12 - Variable Interest Entity of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing), we consolidate the balances and results of Oxbow Realty in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the impacts of this transaction are eliminated in consolidation.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $100.0 million with a scheduled maturity date of December 28, 2025 (the “Revolver”). The Company incurred $4.3 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Revolver. Borrowing under the Loan Agreement is limited by a borrowing base of specified advance rates applicable to billed accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory and equipment, subject to various conditions and limits as provided in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for borrowing base sublimits applicable to each of contract assets and equipment. Under certain circumstances, Siena may from time to time establish and revise reserves against the borrowing base and/or the maximum revolving facility amount. As of September 29, 2024, the borrowing base of $96.9 million was below the $100.0 million borrowing limit and, our outstanding borrowings of $21.3 million resulted in remaining availability under the Revolver of $75.6 million
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate that depends upon the type of borrowing, whether a term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) loan or base rate loan, plus the applicable margin. The term SOFR loan rate is a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a tenor of one month on the applicable day, subject to a minimum of 2.5% per annum. The base rate is the greatest of the prime rate, the Federal funds rate plus 0.5% and 7.0% per annum. The applicable margin is an applicable percentage based on the fix charged coverage ratio that ranges from 5.25% to 6.25% per annum for term SOFR loans and ranges from 4.25% to 5.25% per annum for base rate loans.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other covenants and conditions. Subject to certain cure rights, the Loan Agreement requires $10.0 million in minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, prohibits unfunded capital expenditures in excess of $15.0 million calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, and requires a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a trailing twelve month basis, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 if our liquidity is less than $15.0 million. In addition, the Loan Agreement places certain restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), to create liens or other encumbrances (other than liens relating to permitted indebtedness), to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to our stockholders. As of September 29, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants of the Loan Agreement and expect to continue to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months.
Due to a lockbox clause in the Loan Agreement, the outstanding loan balance is required to be serviced with working capital, and the debt is classified as short-term on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
36

Tool Financing Loans
We, from time to time, enter into financing arrangements with equipment lenders to purchase manufacturing tools and other equipment. These agreements are often structured as sale and leasebacks, to which the leases includes bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms that we intend to exercise. We account for these transactions as failed sale and leasebacks with the associated tools recorded in property and equipment, net and the proceeds received from equipment lenders recorded as financing obligations on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to placing a tool into service, advanced payments received from equipment lenders are recorded as short-term financings on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the financed tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lenders the outstanding financial obligations over a period of time. Upon execution of the financing arrangements, the financing obligation is classified as long-term debt. Advance payments received from equipment lenders were zero and $3.8 million as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Material Cash Requirements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation, and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.
The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis.
We are also a “smaller reporting company.” If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In connection with preparing our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes are relevant at the time we prepared our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, equity-based compensation, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To supplement our interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the table below.
We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management regularly evaluates to provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. Our management uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA to make informed operating decisions, complete strategic planning, prepare annual budgets, and evaluate Company and management performance. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure to our investors because it provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The use of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable U.S. GAAP measure. In addition, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, other companies, including our peers, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measure presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, business transformation costs, management transition expense, the cost of severance, separation and other termination benefits, and the cost of CHIPS Act specialist fees.
We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure to our investors because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to other companies, including our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. 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 on the accounting methods and policies used, book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Currently, our market risks relate to potential changes in the fair value of our debt due to fluctuations in applicable market interest rates. In the future, our market risk exposure generally will be limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and contract assets. Cash balances are maintained at financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured limits. We monitor the financial condition of the financial institutions in which our accounts are maintained and have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of our customers with respect to trade receivables and contract assets. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. Our consideration of the need for an allowance for credit losses is based upon current market conditions and other factors.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 29, 2024, the outstanding balance of our Revolver, which bears interest at a variable rate, was $21.3 million. At September 29, 2024, the rate in effect was 10.6%. Based on the outstanding balance of our Revolver at September 29, 2024, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would increase interest expense by $0.2 million annually.
40

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer) as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, respectively, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of September 29, 2024. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 29, 2024 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, has concluded that our interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in conformity with GAAP.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
As disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Controls Activity component of the COSO Framework and our revenue accounting process, which were not remediated as of September 29, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Remediation Plans
As disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, actions were undertaken in fiscal year 2023 to implement new controls and enhance existing controls to remediate the material weaknesses in the Control Activities component of the COSO Framework and our revenue accounting process. These actions were completed on a timeframe that did not demonstrate sustained execution of those controls throughout fiscal year 2023. Remediation of the Control Activities component of the COSO Framework and our revenue accounting process material weaknesses will require further validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of time in fiscal year 2024. To remediate these material weaknesses, management plans to sustain the execution of the process-level and information technology controls implemented or enhanced in fiscal year 2023 throughout fiscal year 2024. We will not be able to conclude whether the actions we are taking will remediate these material weaknesses until we have completed our remediation plans and perform testing to validate the effectiveness of these controls.
As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses in the Control Activities components of the COSO Framework and our revenue accounting process, we may determine that additional measures or time are required to address the control deficiencies or that we need to modify or otherwise adjust the remediation actions described above. The material weaknesses in the Control Activities component of the COSO Framework and our revenue accounting process cannot be considered remediated until the controls we implemented or enhanced in fiscal year 2023 have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 29, 2024, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share data), are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with SkyWater’s annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of December 31, 2023 and for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 29, 2024 and its consolidated results of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023.
The consolidated results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, or for any other interim period, or for any other future fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which SkyWater is the primary beneficiary and an affiliate of the Company’s principal shareholder. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of uncertainties.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred net income attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $1,512 and a net loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $6,114, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the Company incurred net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $7,568 and $20,431, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20,684 and $18,382, respectively.
SkyWater’s ability to execute its operating strategy is dependent on its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through the Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. The Company has identified specific actions it could take to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require the Company to decrease its level of investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of its business. The Company has also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”), an affiliate of the Company’s principal stockholder, to provide funding in an amount up to $12,500, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due. The support letter expires March 18, 2026. Based upon SkyWater’s operating forecasts, its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on the Revolver, and potential cost reduction measures it could undertake, management believes SkyWater will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Additionally, the Company could seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver, however it cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company’s ability to access additional funds depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond SkyWater’s control.
SkyWater has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods then ended. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations, and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the reporting periods determined using the treasury-stock method. Because the Company reported net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024 and three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 1,637 and 1,416, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For each of the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 2,258 excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” later codified in Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“Topic 326”). Topic 326 replaces the preexisting U.S. GAAP guidance that only required the recognition of credit losses when losses were probable and estimable. Topic 326 now requires recognition of credit losses based on SkyWater’s expectation of losses to be incurred while the financial instrument is held. Topic 326 was effective for most public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater adopted Topic 326 on January 2, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $375 for the effects of increasing its allowance for credit losses as of January 2, 2023. All other impacts to SkyWater’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows were immaterial.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. SkyWater will reflect the amended disclosure requirements of this update in its annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024 and for the interim periods in its fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. Given that the Company reports as a single reportable segment, the impacts of adopting the provisions of this update will not be significant.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update improve existing income tax disclosures, notably with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater currently anticipates that it will adopt the amendments in this update for its fiscal year ending January 3, 2027. If the Company ceases to qualify as an emerging growth company before the end of its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, the Company will adopt this ASU at an earlier date. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 include discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of
the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not make any significant changes to its accounting policies and estimates during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024.

$93,817 $71,624 $266,782 $207,529 
Two customers each accounted for 10% or more of revenue, and in aggregate accounted for 69% and 63% of revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, respectively, and in aggregate accounted for 65% and 58% of revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, respectively. The loss of a major customer could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
Deferred Contract Costs
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental cost of obtaining a contract with a customer (i.e., deferred contract costs) when costs are considered recoverable and the duration of the contract is in excess of one year. Deferred contract costs are amortized as the related revenue is recognized. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $0 for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024 and recognized accretion of deferred contract costs of $43 for the three-month period ended October 1, 2023. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $172 and $757 for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.
Contract Assets
Contract assets represent SkyWater’s rights to payments for services it has transferred to its customers, but has not yet billed to its customers. Contract assets were $29,179 and $29,666 at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are presented net of allowances for expected credit losses of $42 and $99, respectively, and net of accrued contract liabilities arising from certain contracts expected to generate losses over the remaining period of performance. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company maintained liabilities of $175 and $0, respectively, arising from long-term production-type contracts with the U.S. Federal government expected to generate losses over the period of performance.
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities principally consist of deferred revenue on customer contracts and deferred lease revenue representing customer prepayments on a leasing arrangement in which the Company serves as lessor. Deferred revenue on customer contracts represents payments from customers for which performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. In some instances, cash may be received, or payment may be contractually due by a customer before the related revenue is recognized. The contract liabilities and other significant components of contract liabilities at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

(1)Contract deferred revenue includes $50,980 and $59,323 at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to material rights provided to a significant customer in exchange for funding additional manufacturing capacity. Of these amounts, $11,123 and $11,123 were classified as current in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations
At September 29, 2024, the Company had $117,924 of remaining performance obligations that had not been fully satisfied on contracts with original expected durations of one year or more, which were primarily related to ATS development and tools revenue contracts. The Company expects to recognize those revenues as it satisfies its performance obligations within the next 6.5 years.
The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Further, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when it transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

(1)Tool financing advance payments represent proceeds received from equipment lenders prior to the Company placing underlying manufacturing tools and other equipment into service. When the underlying tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lender the outstanding financial obligation over a period of time, and the advance payments are converted to tool financing loans and classified as long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Tool financings are often accounted for as failed sale and leasebacks.

On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of up to $100.0 million with a scheduled maturity date of December 28, 2025 (the “Revolver”). The outstanding balance of the Revolver was $21,334 as of September 29, 2024 at an interest rate of 10.6%. Borrowing under the Revolver is limited by a borrowing base of specified advance rates applicable to billed accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory and equipment, subject to various conditions and limits as provided in the Loan Agreement. As the borrowing base of $96,914 was below the borrowing limit, the remaining availability under the Revolver was $75,580 as of September 29, 2024. As of September 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants of the Revolver.
VIE Financing
On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, the Company’s consolidated VIE (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions and Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity), entered into a loan agreement for $39,000 (the “VIE Financing”) to finance the acquisition of the land and building of the SkyWater Minnesota facility. The VIE Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $194 over 10 years, with the remaining balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. The interest rate under the VIE Financing is fixed at 3.44%. The VIE Financing is guaranteed by Oxbow Industries, who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty. The VIE financing is not subject to financial debt default covenants.
The terms of the VIE Financing include provisions that grant the lender several protective rights when certain triggering events defined in the loan agreement occur, including events tied to the Company’s occupancy of the SkyWater Minnesota facility and SkyWater’s financial performance. The triggering events are not financial covenants and the occurrence of a triggering event does not represent a default event, nor does it result in the VIE Financing becoming callable, rather the protective rights become enforceable by the lender. As defined in the loan agreement, a triggering event occurred beginning in the three-month period ended January 1, 2023 based on the level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, as defined in the loan agreement, reported by SkyWater historically. Pursuant to its protective rights, the lender retained in a restricted account amounts paid by SkyWater to Oxbow Realty that were in excess of the scheduled debt payments paid by Oxbow Realty to the lender. The triggering event was cured during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and the funds held in the restricted account were remitted back to Oxbow Realty. No triggering events as defined in the loan agreement existed as of September 29, 2024.
Tool Financing Loans
The Company, from time to time, enters into financing arrangements with equipment lenders to finance the purchase of manufacturing tools and other equipment. These agreements are often structured as sale and leasebacks, to which the leases includes bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms that the Company intends to exercise. The Company accounts for these transactions as failed sale and leasebacks with the associated tools recorded in property and equipment, net and the proceeds received from equipment lenders recorded as financing obligations on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prior to placing a tool into service, advanced payments received from equipment lenders are recorded as short-term financings on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the financed tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lenders the outstanding financial obligations over a period of time. Upon execution of the financing arrangements, the financing obligation is classified as long-term debt. Advance payments of tools that have been financed by equipment lenders prior to placing the underlying tool into service totaled $0 and $3,822 as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 differ from its 21% U.S. statutory corporate tax rate due to the impact of state income taxes, permanent tax differences, the tax impact of the vesting of employee equity awards, and changes in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The effective tax rate in any quarter can be affected, positively or negatively, by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution. The effective income tax rates were 3.4% and 1.4% for the three-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and (0.2)% and 0.4% for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023, respectively.
Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary. As part of the evaluation, management assesses taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies the execution of which are in the Company’s control, and future expectations of income. Based upon this analysis, a valuation allowance of $27,655 and $26,111 was recorded at September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Company would accrue income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no interest or penalties incurred during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023.
In August 2022, the U.S. enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (the “CHIPS Act”). The CHIPS Act provides incentives to semiconductor chip manufacturers in the U.S., including providing a 25% manufacturing investment credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing property placed in service after December 31, 2022, for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. Property investments qualify for the 25% credit if, among other requirements, the property is integral to the operation of an advanced manufacturing facility, defined as having a primary purpose of manufacturing semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

On September 2, 2022, SkyWater entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC with respect to an at the market offering program (the “ATM Program”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell up to $100,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company did not sell shares under the ATM Program. During the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the Company sold 779,697 and 2,081,167 shares under the ATM Program, respectively. From the date of the ATM program through September 29, 2024, the Company has cumulatively sold 2,516,586 shares at an average sale price of $9.96 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25,070 before deducting sales commissions and fees of approximately $1,212. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down the Revolver and fund its operations.
As of September 29, 2024, the Company had availability under the agreement to sell an additional $74,930 in shares under the ATM Program.

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Asserted Claims
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and subject to other asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the resolution of these ordinary-course matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is resolved in a manner that is favorable to the Company, such litigation can have a negative impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from its business, and other factors. There were no material litigation-related or other asserted claim contingencies recognized at either September 29, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Capital Expenditures
The Company has various contracts outstanding with third parties, primarily related to the purchase of tools. The Company had $7,505 and $7,910 of contractual commitments outstanding as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that it expects to pay in the next twelve months using cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Center for NeoVation
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a technology and economic development agreement (the “TED Agreement”), and a lease agreement (the “CfN Lease”) with the government of Osceola County, Florida (“Osceola”) and ICAMR, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation (also known as “BRIDG”), to lease and operate the Center for NeoVation (the “CfN”), a semiconductor research and development and manufacturing facility in Florida. Under the CfN Lease, the Company agrees to bring the plant to full production capacity within five years, and then to operate the plant at full capacity for an additional 15 years. At the end of the lease, SkyWater will take ownership of the facility. The Company is responsible for taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, operation of the assets, and making capital investments in the facility to bring the facility to its full production capacity. Investments and costs required to bring the facility to its full capacity will be substantial. The Company may terminate the TED Agreement and CfN Lease with 18 months’ notice. In the event the Company terminates the agreements, the Company must continue to operate the CfN until either a replacement operator for the CfN is identified, or the 18-month termination notice period expires. The Company may be required to make a payment of up to $15,000 to Osceola upon termination.

As part of entering into the TED Agreement, the Company agreed to operate the advanced wastewater treatment facility (“AWT Facility”), a separate building located on the same leased premise as the CfN and subject to the CfN Lease. The AWT Facility was financed in substantial part by funds provided by the Tohopekaliga Water Authority (“TWA”) to house the acid waste neutralization and pH adjustment treatment system and the reverse osmosis water treatment system. In connection with entering into the CfN Lease, the Company agreed that development of the CfN requires the payment of water, wastewater and reuse water capacity charges imposed by TWA monthly over the remaining period of six years. The Company also agreed that TWA shall be entitled to recover the capital contribution of TWA for construction of the AWT Facility through a capital reimbursement surcharge monthly over the remaining period of six years. As of September 29, 2024, the Company expects future payments on these commitments of approximately $3,700.
Build Back Better Grant
In third quarter 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration granted funds to Osceola and BRIDG for continued development of Central Florida’s Semiconductor Cluster for Broad-Based Prosperity through the Build Back Better Regional Challenge, a portion of which is committed to the expansion of the CfN and purchase, installation, and qualification of tools in the CfN. In February 2023, SkyWater committed to a 20% matching share contribution of the project costs to Osceola totaling $9,100. SkyWater’s commitment to fund this matching contribution is limited to $1,000 in any single calendar quarter. As of September 29, 2024, SkyWater has not been obligated to pay any portion of the matching contribution to which it has committed.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction
On September 29, 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to sell the land and building of its Minnesota facility to Oxbow Realty. In the fourth quarter of 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to lease the land and building back from Oxbow Realty for initial lease payments of $394 per month over 20 years. The monthly payments are subject to a 2% increase each year during the term of the lease. In the most recent month, the rental payment to Oxbow Realty was $426. The Company is also required to make certain customary payments constituting “additional rent,” including certain monthly reserve, insurance, and tax payments, in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of September 29, 2024 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity):

Variable Interest Entity Variable Interest Entity
Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions on behalf of Oxbow Industries. This included facilitating the purchase of the land and building of SkyWater’s Minnesota facility with proceeds from a bank loan (see Note 6 – Debt) and managing the leaseback of the land and building to SkyWater (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions). Management determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”), because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. Furthermore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as it has the power over those activities that most significantly affect Oxbow Realty’s economic performance, mainly activities focused on the operation and maintenance of the Minnesota facility. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Oxbow Realty pursuant to Topic 810, eliminating any transactions between the Company and Oxbow Realty, and recording a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Oxbow Realty attributable to parties other than the Company’s common stock shareholders. In addition, the assets of Oxbow Realty can only be used to settle its liabilities, and the creditors of Oxbow Realty do not have recourse to the general credit of SkyWater.
The following table shows the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of Oxbow Realty that are consolidated by the Company as of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to the elimination of intercompany balances.

Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which SkyWater is the primary beneficiary and an affiliate of the Company’s principal shareholder. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Cash Requirements
Liquidity and Cash Requirements
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of uncertainties.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred net income attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $1,512 and a net loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $6,114, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the Company incurred net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $7,568 and $20,431, respectively. As of September 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20,684 and $18,382, respectively.
SkyWater’s ability to execute its operating strategy is dependent on its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through the Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. The Company has identified specific actions it could take to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require the Company to decrease its level of investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of its business. The Company has also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”), an affiliate of the Company’s principal stockholder, to provide funding in an amount up to $12,500, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due. The support letter expires March 18, 2026. Based upon SkyWater’s operating forecasts, its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on the Revolver, and potential cost reduction measures it could undertake, management believes SkyWater will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Additionally, the Company could seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver, however it cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Company’s ability to access additional funds depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond SkyWater’s control.
SkyWater has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods then ended. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations, and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the reporting periods determined using the treasury-stock method. Because the Company reported net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024 and three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 1,637 and 1,416, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For each of the three- and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2023, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 2,258 excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Reportable Segment Information
Reportable Segment Information
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. SkyWater operates and manages its business as one reportable segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” later codified in Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“Topic 326”). Topic 326 replaces the preexisting U.S. GAAP guidance that only required the recognition of credit losses when losses were probable and estimable. Topic 326 now requires recognition of credit losses based on SkyWater’s expectation of losses to be incurred while the financial instrument is held. Topic 326 was effective for most public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater adopted Topic 326 on January 2, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $375 for the effects of increasing its allowance for credit losses as of January 2, 2023. All other impacts to SkyWater’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows were immaterial.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. SkyWater will reflect the amended disclosure requirements of this update in its annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024 and for the interim periods in its fiscal year ending December 28, 2025. Given that the Company reports as a single reportable segment, the impacts of adopting the provisions of this update will not be significant.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update improve existing income tax disclosures, notably with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. As an emerging growth company, SkyWater currently anticipates that it will adopt the amendments in this update for its fiscal year ending January 3, 2027. If the Company ceases to qualify as an emerging growth company before the end of its fiscal year ending December 29, 2024, the Company will adopt this ASU at an earlier date. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
