FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe 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 sole semiconductor foundry 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 amid industry-wide supply chain shortages;

•our ability to control costs, including our operating and capital expenses;

•the size and growth potential of the markets for our solutions, and our ability to serve and expand our presence in those markets;

•the level of demand in our customers’ end markets;

•our ability to attract, train and retain key qualified personnel in a competitive labor market;

•adverse litigation judgments, settlements or other litigation-related costs;

•changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs;

•our ability to raise additional capital or financing;

•our ability to accurately forecast demand;

•the impact of the coronavirus 2019, or COVID-19, pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our customers, suppliers and workforce;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy;

•the level and timing of US government program funding;

•our ability to maintain compliance with certain US government contracting requirements;

•regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;

•our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; and

•other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022.

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 our 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 our expectations or to our 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.

Note 1 Nature of Business

SkyWater Technology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “SkyWater”), is a U.S. investor-owned, 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. In our technology as a service model, we leverage a strong foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits, or ICs) and related micro- and nanotechnology applications. In addition to these differentiated technology development services, we support customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through our Wafer Services.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

Corporate Conversion and Initial Public Offering

Effective April 14, 2021, we converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed our name to SkyWater Technology, Inc. Previously, we operated as a Delaware limited liability company under the name CMI Acquisition, LLC. As a result of the corporate conversion, the holders of the different series of units of CMI Acquisition, LLC, became holders of common stock and options to purchase common stock of SkyWater Technology, Inc. The number of shares of common stock that holders of Class B preferred units and common units were entitled to receive in the corporate conversion was determined in accordance with a plan of conversion, which was based upon the terms of the CMI Acquisition, LLC operating agreement, and varied depending on which class of Units a holder owned. See Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity.

On April 23, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock. Shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 21, 2021 under the symbol “SKYT”.

Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2022, and for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share information), 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 complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of January 2, 2022. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of April 3, 2022, our results of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending January 1, 2023, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), and SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows are for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, each of which consisted of 13 weeks.

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we will require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. In response to this, we are in the process of implementing a plan to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which includes a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, discontinue further expansion of our business, or scale back our existing operations. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on our Revolver, and these cost reduction measures, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company 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. To the extent that our current resources and plans to reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our 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 at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the United States and the world, with the continued potential for significant impact. Our business has been adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented modifications to employee travel and employee work locations, as required in some cases by federal, state and local authorities, which has had a negative impact on employee productivity. Because we have manufacturing operations, we may be vulnerable to an outbreak of a new coronavirus or other contagious diseases. Although we have not experienced a shutdown of our manufacturing facilities, the effects of such an outbreak could include the temporary shutdown of our operations or the operations of our customers, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers as well as disruptions that may affect our suppliers. Any disruption of our ability to manufacture or distribute our products, the ability of our suppliers to deliver key components on a timely basis, or our customers’ ability to order and take delivery of our products could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results. The future broader implications of the pandemic remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and the impact of our workforce of vaccine mandates.

Net Loss Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. Our previously outstanding Class B preferred units met the criteria of a participating security as they contained the rights to an 8% “preferred return” on the deemed original equity value of each such Class B preferred unit (accrued daily since the date of issuance of each such Class B preferred unit). Under the two-class method, income or losses are allocated between the common shareholders and the Class B preferred unitholders. The two-class method includes an allocation formula that determines income or loss per unit for each class according to preferred dividends and undistributed earnings or losses for the period. Our reported net loss for the three months ended April 4, 2021 is increased by the amount allocated to the Class B preferred units to arrive at the loss allocated to common shareholders for purposes of calculating net loss per share. As a result of our April 2021 corporate conversion and IPO, the number of common shares used to compute net loss per common share for the three months ended April 4, 2021 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the conversion akin to a split-like situation.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited in thousands, except share, unit and per share and unit data)

the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Because we reported a net loss for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, 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. At April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 3,414,000 and 2,329,000, respectively, 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 loss per common share for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021:

	Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021
	(in thousands, except per share data)
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc.	$	(16,606)	$	(2,811)
Undistributed preferred return to Class B preferred unitholders	—		(359)
Net loss attributable to common shareholders	$	(16,606)	$	(3,170)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted (1)	39,862		3,060
Net loss per common share, basic and diluted	$	(0.42)	$	(1.04)

__________________

(1)The weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended April 4, 2021 reflects the retrospective adjustment for the April 14, 2021 corporate conversion of 2,105,936 common units into 3,060,343 shares of common stock.

Operating 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 in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our audited consolidated financial statements include an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 3, 2022, except with respect to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-2, Leases (“Topic 842”).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, we adopted the new standard on January 3, 2022 for our year ending January 1, 2023. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 15 – Leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard, ASU 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (“Topic 326”). This guidance replaces the current allowance for loan and lease loss accounting standard and focuses on estimation of expected losses over the life of the loans instead of relying on incurred losses. The standard is effective for certain public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, we intend to adopt the new standard on January 2, 2023 for our year ending December 31, 2023. However if we lose our emerging growth

company status prior to our intended adoption date, we may be required to adopt the new standard in the year we lose such status. We do not expect adopting Topic 326 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 Revenue

Wafer Services Contract

In March 2022, we signed a new contract with a significant wafer services customer. Under the contract, orders are non-cancellable and we have an enforceable right to complete the orders and to payment for any finished or in-process wafers plus a reasonable margin. The wafers produced for that customer are highly customized and have no alternative use to us. Control of these wafers is deemed to transfer to the customer over time during the fabrication process, using the same measure of progress toward satisfying the promise to deliver the units to the customer. Consequently, the transaction price is recognized as revenue over time based on actual costs incurred in the fabrication process to date relative to total expected costs to produce all wafers beginning in March 2022. The contract terms and pricing is applicable to all in-process and future wafers. We recorded revenue of $8,230 in the first quarter of 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process at the date the contract was signed.

Deferred Contract Costs

We recognized amortization of deferred contract costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations totaling $195 and $551 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are $26,207 and $16,303 at April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets balance at April 3, 2022 includes the impact from the new wafer services contract described above, in which we recorded revenue and contract assets of $8,230 for in-process wafers.

Contract Liabilities

The contract liabilities and other significant components of deferred revenue are as follows:

	April 3, 2022						January 2, 2022
	Contract Liabilities		Deferred Lease Revenue		Total Deferred Revenue		Contract Liabilities		Deferred Lease Revenue		Total Deferred Revenue
Current	$	18,606	$	4,667	$	23,273	$	16,141	$	4,667	$	20,808
Long-term	72,833		10,111		82,944		76,816		11,278		88,094
Total	$	91,439	$	14,778	$	106,217	$	92,957	$	15,945	$	108,902

The decrease in contract liabilities from January 2, 2022 to April 3, 2022 was primarily the result of completion of specific performance obligations for our customers. Approximately 3% of our total contract liabilities at January 2, 2022 were recognized in revenue in the first three months of 2022. Approximately 15% of our total contract liabilities at January 3, 2021 were recognized in revenue in the first three months of 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of April 3, 2022, we had approximately $89,903 of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more, which are primarily related to Advanced Technology Services contracts. We expect to recognize those remaining performance obligations as follows:

Within one year	$	17,070
From one to two years	17,992
From two to three years	10,968
After three years	43,873
Total	$	89,903

We do not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Further, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Depreciation expense was $6,031 and $6,047 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. In December 2021, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our machinery and equipment and adjusted the estimated useful life from seven years to ten years to better reflect the estimated periods during which the assets will remain in service. This change in accounting estimate was effective beginning in December of 2021 on a prospective basis for all machinery and equipment acquired after March 1, 2017, the date in which we became an independent company as part of a divestiture from Cypress. The effect of this change in estimate resulted in a $445 decrease in depreciation expense for the three months ended April 3, 2022.

Intangible assets consist of purchased software and license costs from our acquisition of the business in 2017. Additionally, we have entered into license agreements for third-party software and licensed technology, which also comprise intangible assets. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we acquired third-party software and licensed technology of

(1)Unamortized debt issuance costs as of April 3, 2022 included $1,379 for the Revolver (as defined below) and $3,072 for the Financing (as defined below). Unamortized debt issuance costs as of January 2, 2022 included $1,471 for the Revolver and $3,153 for the Financing (by VIE).

Revolver

The outstanding balance of our amended and restated revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Revolver”) was $35,615 as of April 3, 2022 at an interest rate of 2.9%. Our remaining availability under the Revolver was $29,101 as of April 3, 2022. However, we must maintain availability under the Revolver of at least $15,000 in order to not have to comply with the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the Revolver with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on or prior to July 2, 2023. As of April 3, 2022, our unused remaining availability was $29,101 and 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.

Maturities

As of April 3, 2022, the Revolver is due in December 2025. The Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $194 over 10 years, with the balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. Future principal payments of our Revolver and consolidated VIE’s Financing, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:

Remainder of 2022	$	767
2023	1,060
2024	1,094
2025	36,749
2026	1,177

Total	$	73,208

Note 7 Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 differ from the statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, and changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The 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 rate for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was 1.2%, compared to 17.2% for the three months ended April 4, 2021. The income tax benefit rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 than our statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. Based upon this analysis, a valuation allowance of $12,918 was recorded as of April 3, 2022 to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance at January 2, 2022 was $9,819.

No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. We would accrue, if applicable, income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no interest and penalties incurred during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

Note 8 Shareholders’ Equity

Classes of Equity Units

Until our corporate conversion on April 14, 2021, we had three classes of limited liability interests, designated as Class A preferred units, Class B preferred units, and common units (collectively, the “Unit” or “Units”). The Class A preferred units were authorized specifically for issuance upon exercise of warrants, of which none were issued and outstanding. Class A preferred units and common units were non-voting classes, and Class B preferred units are a voting class.

Conversion

On April 14, 2021, we completed a corporate conversion. Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation effected in connection with the corporate conversion, our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 80,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of April 3, 2022, giving effect to the corporate conversion and our IPO, 39,904,690 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. No shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. On April 21, 2021, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “SKYT”.

Upon the corporate conversion, all Units were converted into an aggregate of 31,055,743 shares of our common stock. Each Class B preferred unit and common unit was converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing (1) the amount that would have been distributed in respect of each such Unit in accordance with CMI Acquisition, LLC’s operating agreement if all assets of CMI Acquisition, LLC had been sold for a cash amount equal to the pre-offering value of CMI Acquisition, LLC, as such value is determined by CMI Acquisition, LLC’s board of managers based on the fair value of each share of common stock (net of any underwriting discounts, fees and expenses), by (2) such per share fair value. The amounts that would have been distributed for this purpose in respect of Class B preferred units and common units were determined by reference to the terms of CMI Acquisition, LLC’s operating agreement, with different values applicable to each series of Units. Before any distributions were made on common units, distributions were made on each Class B preferred unit in an amount equal to the sum of an 8% “preferred return” on the deemed original equity value of each such Class B preferred unit (accrued daily since the date of issuance of each such Class B preferred unit) plus the amount of such original equity value. Only after those distributions were made, the common units, together with the Class B preferred units, shared in the remainder of the distribution on a pro rata basis. For purposes of the corporate conversion, pre-offering “per share fair value” was determined taking into account an assumed initial public offering price of common stock. Accordingly, the outstanding Units were converted as follows:

•holders of Class B preferred units received an aggregate of 27,995,400 shares of common stock; and

•holders of common units received an aggregate of shares 3,060,343 of common stock.

Initial Public Offering

On April 23, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriter’s exercise of their right to purchase additional shares, at an initial offering price to the public of $14.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $100,162 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $7,844 and offering costs of approximately $4,050.

Note 9 Share-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with our IPO, we adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”). The 2021 Equity Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. As of April 3, 2022, the 2021 Equity Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,150,000 shares of common stock to eligible individuals in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. The share reserve of the 2021 Equity Plan will be increased effective the first business day of each calendar year by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 150,000 shares of common stock; (ii) three percent (3%) of the shares of common stock

(unaudited in thousands, except share, unit and per share and unit data)

outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year; and (iii) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the compensation committee.

Stock Options

During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 549,000 stock options, respectively, which vest ratably on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and expire 10 years from the grant date. No stock options were granted during the three months ended April 4, 2021. Share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards was $423 and $0 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model was based on yields available on the grant dates for U.S. Treasury Strips with maturity consistent with the expected life assumption. The expected term of the option represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Simplified Method (midpoint of average vesting time and contractual term). Expected volatility is based on an average of the historical, daily volatility of a peer group of similar companies over a period consistent with the expected life assumption ending on the grant date. We assumed no dividend yield in the valuation of the options granted as we have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and currently intend to retain earnings for use in operations.

	Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2022
Expected volatility:	47.2%
Expected term (in years):	6.25
Risk-free interest rate:	1.9%

The following table summarizes our stock option activity during the three months ended April 3, 2022:

	Number of Stock Options (in thousands)	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life
Balance outstanding as of January 2, 2022	986	$	14.29
Granted	549	$	11.24

Balance vested and exercisable as of April 3, 2022	22	$	14.00	$	—	0.2 years

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $5.37. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $5,782 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.5 years.

Restricted Common Stock Units

During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 10,000 restricted common stock units to newly appointed directors which vest in full on May 31, 2022. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 263,000 restricted common stock units, which vest ratably on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The common stock relating to these restricted common stock units is issued upon vesting. The grantee has no rights as a common stockholder until the common stock related to the restricted common stock units have been issued. No restricted common stock units were granted during the three months ended April 4, 2021.

Share-based compensation expense related to restricted common stock unit awards was $2,377 and $0 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted common stock units was $7,511 and is expected to be

18

SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.

recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. The estimated fair value of restricted common stock units is based on the grant date closing price of our common stock for time-based vesting awards. No restricted stock units vested during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

The following table summarizes our restricted common stock unit activity during the three months ended April 3, 2022:

	Number of Restricted Common Stock Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with our IPO, we also adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”). A maximum of 707,000 shares of our common stock has been reserved for issuance under the 2021 ESPP. Under the 2021 ESPP, eligible employees may purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a discount not to exceed 15% of the lower of the fair market values of our common stock as of the beginning or end of each offering period, which may range from 6 to 27 months. Payroll deductions are limited to 15% of the employee’s eligible compensation and a maximum of 2,500 shares of our common stock may be purchased by an employee each offering period. The initial six-month offering period commenced on September 1, 2021 and 69,000 shares were purchased under the 2021 ESPP during the three months ended April 3, 2022. As of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, $351 and $937, respectively, was withheld on behalf of employees for future purchases under the 2021 ESPP and recorded as accrued compensation. Share-based compensation expense related to the 2021 ESPP was $207 for the three months ended April 3, 2022. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 ESPP was $381 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the six-month offering period.

The fair value of the 2021 ESPP is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model was based on yields available on the grant dates for U.S. Treasury Strips with maturity consistent with the expected life assumption. Expected volatility is based on an average of the historical, daily volatility of a peer group of similar companies over a period consistent with the expected life assumption ending on the grant date. We assumed no dividend yield in the valuation of the options granted as we have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and currently intend to retain earnings for use in operations.

	Three Months Ended April 3, 2022
Expected volatility:	47.2%
Expected term (in years):	0.50
Risk-free interest rate:	0.60%
Weighted average grant-date fair value per share	$3.20

Note 10 Fair Value Measurements

The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value, we use a fair value hierarchy categorized into three levels based on inputs used. Generally, the three levels are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 inputs are used in the valuation of our contingent consideration obligation. The change in level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows:

We expect to pay our contingent consideration liability in the second quarter of 2022 at the amount currently recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other financial working capital items approximate fair values at April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022 due to the short maturity of these items. The carrying values of our borrowings under our Revolver and Financing approximate their fair values due to the frequency of the floating interest rate resets on these borrowings. The fair value of the Revolver and Financing were determined based on inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Our non-financial assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. As of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the resolution of these ordinary-course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is resolved in a manner that is favorable to our interests, such litigation can have a negative impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from our business and other factors.

Capital Expenditures

We have various contracts outstanding with third parties which primarily relate to the completion of a building expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility. We have approximately $10 million of contractual commitments outstanding as of April 3, 2022 that we expect to be paid in 2022, through cash on hand and operating cash flows.

Note 12 Major Customers and Concentration Risk

The following customers accounted for 10% or more of revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021:

The loss of a major customer could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Note 13 Related Party Transactions

Professional Services

Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow”), our principal stockholder, provided management and financial consulting services to us. We incurred management fees to Oxbow of $0 and $160 of during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively, which have been expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

A member of our board of directors provided legal and professional services to us. We incurred fees of $0 and $116 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively, which have been expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

Sale-Leaseback Transaction

On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to an entity (“Oxbow Realty”) controlled by our principal stockholder. We subsequently entered into an agreement to lease the land and building from Oxbow Realty for initial 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. 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 agreement. Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of April 3, 2022 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from our condensed consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities):

Note 14 Variable Interest Entities

Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions. This included facilitating the purchase of our land and building with proceeds from a bank loan and managing the leaseback of the land and building to us. We determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under Topic 810, Consolidation, because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. We concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as we have the power to direct operation and maintenance decisions during the lease term, which would most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance. As the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Oxbow Realty, eliminate any transactions between us and Oxbow Realty, and record a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in Oxbow Realty not owned by us because the owners of our common stock do not legally have rights or obligations to those profits or losses. 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 us as of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to consolidation, and thus a portion of these assets and liabilities are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 15 Leases

On January 3, 2022, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and all related amendments using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, comparative prior periods, including disclosures, were not restated. We elected the transition package of practical expedients which, among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification. We chose not to elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and there was no adjustment to our retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on our operating results on an ongoing basis.

The most significant impact of the new leases standard was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. On January 3, 2022, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $184 and a lease liability of $184.

We lease certain property and equipment, such as our headquarters in Minnesota, our office location in Florida and certain production equipment under finance leases. We also lease our manufacturing location in Florida and warehouse space in Minnesota under operating leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. On April 1, 2022, we commenced a finance lease for a new nitrogen generator. The lease has a term of 15 years for total fixed payments of approximately $14,000.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Some of our leases include options to extend the term, which is only included in the lease liability and right-of-use assets calculation when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. As of April 3, 2022, the operating lease liability and operating right-of-use assets did not include any lease extension options.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to account for these as a single lease component only for equipment leases. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended April 3, 2022
Operating lease cost	$	13
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of assets	347
Interest on lease liabilities	88
Variable lease cost	—
Total net lease cost	$	448

Short-term lease cost amounted to $70 for the three months ended April 3, 2022.

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases are as follows:

$21,000, and is being recognized over the estimated lease term of 4.5 years. The total amount was prepaid by the customer and recorded as deferred revenue. See Note 4 – Revenue for additional information on revenue recognition and deferred revenue of the operating lease. The carrying value of the facility space utilized by the lessee was approximately $27,000, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,939 and $1,558 as of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively, and is included in property and equipment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We refer to the three-month periods ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 as the first quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2021, respectively. Each of these three-month periods includes 13 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 CMI Acquisition, LLC and its subsidiaries collectively before the corporate conversion discussed below and to SkyWater Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively after the corporate conversion.

Corporate Conversion and Initial Public Offering

On April 14, 2021, in connection with the IPO of our common stock, CMI Acquisition, LLC filed a certificate of conversion, whereby CMI Acquisition, LLC effected a corporate conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to SkyWater Technology, Inc., which we refer to as the corporate conversion. As part of the corporate conversion, holders of Class B preferred units and common units of CMI Acquisition, LLC received shares of our common stock for each unit held immediately prior to the corporate conversion using an approximate one-to-1.56 conversion ratio for Class B preferred units and one-to-1.45 conversion ratio for common units.

On April 23, 2021, we completed our IPO and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriter’s exercise of their right to purchase additional shares, at an initial offering price to the public of $14.00 per share. Shares of our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 21, 2021 under the symbol “SKYT”.

We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $100.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs of approximately $11.9 million. We estimate that we utilized approximately $45 million of our IPO proceeds to pay down our revolving credit agreement, approximately $28 million of our IPO proceeds to fund capital expenditures, and approximately $27 million of our IPO proceeds to fund our operating activities.

Overview

We are a U.S. investor-owned, 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. In our technology as a service model, we leverage a strong foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property (“IP”) with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits, or 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, our status as a publicly-traded, U.S.- based, U.S. investor-owned pure-play technology foundry with DMEA Category 1A accreditation from the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, is expected to position us well to provide distinct, competitive advantages to our customers. These advantages include the benefits of enhanced IP security and easy access to a U.S. domestic supply chain. In September 2019, we entered into a contract with the DoD to receive up to $170 million to expand and upgrade our manufacturing capabilities, specifically to build next-generation rad-hard wafer solutions for the aerospace and defense sector which will have significant benefits for other commercial markets. Our fab expansion supporting this project began operations in October 2020. In January 2021, we entered into an agreement with Osceola County, Florida to take over operation of the Center for NeoVation facility in Kissimmee, Florida to accelerate pure-play advanced packaging services for differentiated technologies.

We primarily focus on serving diversified, high-growth end users in numerous vertical markets, including (1) advanced computation, (2) aerospace and defense, or A&D, (3) automotive and transportation, (4) bio-health, (5) consumer and (6) industrial/internet of things, or IoT. By housing both development and manufacturing in a single operation, we rapidly and

26

Table of Contents

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 Advanced Technology Services, we specialize in co-creating with our customers advanced solutions that directly serve our end markets, such as superconducting ICs for quantum computing, integrated photonics, carbon nanotube technologies, or CNTs, microelectromechanical systems, or 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 complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, or 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 fab was owned and operated by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (“Cypress”) as a captive manufacturing facility for 20 years. We have leveraged the Cypress system, manufacturing technology and process development capabilities to advance our product offerings. We became an independent company in March 2017 when we were acquired by Oxbow Industries, LLC, or Oxbow, as part of a divestiture from Cypress. Our multi-year Foundry Service Agreement with Cypress, which ended in June 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 April 2020 by Infineon Technologies AG (“Infineon”).

Factors and Trends Affecting our Business and Results of Operations

The following trends and uncertainties either affected our financial performance during the first three months of 2022 and 2021 or are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future.

■Macroeconomic and competitive conditions, including cyclicality and consolidation, affecting the semiconductor industry.

■The global economic climate, including the impact on the economy from geopolitical issues and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our business has been adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented modifications to employee travel and employee work locations, as required, in some cases by federal, state and local authorities, which has had a negative impact on our employee productivity. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, one customer reduced its research and development expenditures with us, and a second customer experienced facility shutdowns which resulted in delays in project milestones, in each case negatively affecting our revenues. Because we have a manufacturing facility, we may be vulnerable to an outbreak of a new coronavirus or other contagious diseases. The effects of such an outbreak could include the temporary shutdown of our facilities, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers, as well as disruptions that may affect our suppliers. Any disruption of our ability to manufacture or distribute our products or of the ability of our suppliers to delivery key components on a timely basis could have material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results. See “Risk Factors—The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

■The impact of vaccine mandates on our workforce. In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration issued emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines and the government began extensive efforts to administer them. We have taken various steps to encourage and facilitate vaccination access for our employees, in accordance with federal guidance. We have provided flexibility for employees to get vaccinated, and strongly encouraged our workforce to take care of themselves and their colleagues. In September 2021, the White House issued an executive order and guidance from the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force broadly requiring many U.S.-based federal contractors to be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021 (or to have an approved accommodation). In early November 2021, the federal government extended that deadline to January 18, 2022. On December 7, 2021, a federal district judge issued an order, temporarily suspending the government from enforcing the federal contractor mandate. That order is on appeal. State and local governments are also taking actions related to the pandemic, imposing additional and varying requirements on industry. We have taken, and are continuing to take, steps to encourage our employees to be fully vaccinated (or to have an approved accommodation) to protect our workplace and to position us to comply with the executive order, guidance, and related contract terms, if and as necessary, as we continue to evaluate the evolving situation and our customers’ requirements. Evolving government requirements, including regarding a vaccine mandate, along with the broader impacts of the continuing pandemic, could significantly impact our workforce and performance, as well as those of our suppliers, and result in costs that we may not be able to recover fully. We continue to take robust actions to protect the health, safety and well-being of our employees, and to serve our customers with continued performance. See “Risk Factors—Vaccination or testing mandates could have a material adverse impact on our

27

Table of Contents

business and results of operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of risks associated with the potential adverse effects on our business.

■The Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors, or CHIPS, for America Act, in 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 U.S. Senate passed broad competitiveness legislation on June 8, 2021, through the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, which includes $52 billion in federal investments for the domestic semiconductor research, design and manufacturing provisions in the CHIPS Act. The U.S. House of Representatives passed competitiveness legislation on February 4, 2022, through the America COMPETES Act, which also includes $52 billion in CHIPS Act investments. Both legislative chambers must reach agreement on, and pass, the joint competitiveness legislation before it can be signed into law by the President.

■Our overall level of indebtedness from our revolving credit agreement for up to $65 million, which we refer to as the Revolver, and a $39 million financing from the sale of the land and building representing our headquarters in Minnesota, which we refer to as the Financing, the corresponding interest rates charged to us by our lenders and our ability to access borrowings under the Revolver.

■Identification and pursuit of specific product and geographic market opportunities that we find attractive both within and outside the United States. We will continue to more effectively address these opportunities through research and development and allocation of additional revenue and marketing resources.

■Material and other cost inflation. We strive for productivity improvements, and we implement increases in selling prices to help mitigate inflation. We expect the current economic environment will result in continuing price volatility and inflation for many of our raw materials. In addition, the labor market for skilled manufacturing remains tight and our labor costs have increased as a result.

■Supply chain disruptions impacting our business. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, supply chain disruption for substrates, chemicals and spare parts in addition to customer supply chain constraints that have negatively impacted our revenue.

Financial Performance Metrics

Our senior management team regularly reviews certain key financial performance metrics within our business, including:

■revenue and gross profit; and

■earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, or adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, that excludes 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 $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, we signed a new contract with a significant wafer services customer. The new contract included increased pricing terms and changed other terms, whereby revenue is recognized over time beginning in March 2022. As a result, we recorded revenue of $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process at the date the contract was signed.

The following table shows revenue by services type for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021:

	First Quarter Ended				Dollar Change		Percentage Change
	April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021
	(in thousands)
Wafer Services	$	21,546	$	10,019	$	11,527	115	%

Total	$	48,121	$	48,101	$	20	0	%

The Wafer Services revenue increase for the first quarter of 2022 reflects the $8.2 million impact from recognition of in process wafers in March 2022 and continued demand in the IoT and automotive industries.

29

Table of Contents

The Advanced Technology Services revenue decrease during the first three months of 2022 was due to a decrease in the amount of revenue recognized related to services to qualify customer funded tool technologies. Tool revenue was $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2022 compared to $15.4 million during the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was partially offset by continued momentum in U.S. government activities, in partnership with SkyWater, to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base.

Gross profit (loss)

Gross profit (loss) decreased $10.1 million, or 110%, to $(0.9) million for the first quarter of 2022, from $9.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was due to increased cost of revenue. The cost of revenue increase was driven by more activities, labor inflation, supply chain constraints, and investments in our strategic platforms. Our labor costs increased as we continued to hire at our Minnesota and Florida facilities to support increased activities. In addition to headcount increases, we are seeing wage inflation, similar to others in the semiconductor industry. The labor market for skilled manufacturing remains tight and we have increased our average starting wage in our fabs to attract the best talent in the market. We also experienced higher prices for freight, substrates, equipment, spare parts, chemicals, and gases as we added additional sources at a higher cost to compliment the output from our primary suppliers and navigate supply chain challenges. The gross loss for the first quarter of 2022 includes increased equity-based compensation of $1.1 million.

Research and development

Research and development costs increased to $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase of $0.4 million, or 18%, was attributable to increased personnel expense of $0.2 million from our continued investment in internal personnel and external engineering support; and increased equity-based compensation expense of $0.2 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase of $3.1 million, or 36%, was attributable to increased equity-based compensation expense of $1.8 million; increased insurance expense of $1.2 million; and increased personnel expense of $0.5 million due to the increase in headcount due to public company requirements and build out of strategic sales and business leadership during the first quarter of 2022. The increase was partially offset by decreased commission expenses of $0.6 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in interest expense was a result of lower debt balances, partially offset by higher interest rates on our Revolver during the first three months of 2022 compared to the interest rates charged during the comparable prior year period.

Income tax expense (benefit)

Income tax benefit decreased to $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, from a benefit of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 1.2%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 17.2% for the first quarter of 2021. The effective income tax rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower for the first quarters of 2022 and 2021 than our statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests increased to $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, from $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests reflects the net income of the variable interest entity, or VIE, that we consolidate, representing the economic interest in the profits and losses of Oxbow Realty that the owners of our shareholders’ equity do not legally have rights or obligations to.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $10.5 million, or 186%, to $(4.8) million for the first quarter of 2022 from $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the first quarter of 2022 primarily reflects decreased gross profit due to increased labor and infrastructure costs as we continue to scale our business to meet the demands of our customers and the requirements of being a public company. For a discussion of adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the section below entitled “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to continue to access capital through our Revolver and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we will require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. In response to this, we are in the process of implementing a plan to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which includes a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, discontinue further expansion of our business, or scale back our existing operations. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on our Revolver, and these cost reduction measures, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company 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. To the extent that our current resources and plans to reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

We had $6.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, not including cash held by a variable interest entity that we consolidate, and availability under our Revolver of $29.1 million as of April 3, 2022. However, we must maintain availability under the Revolver of at least $15 million in order to not have to comply with the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the Revolver with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on or prior to July 2, 2023.

Initial Public Offering

On April 23, 2021, we completed our IPO and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriter’s exercise of their right to purchase additional shares, at an initial offering price to the public of $14.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $100.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs of approximately $11.9 million. We estimate that we utilized approximately $45 million of our IPO proceeds to pay down our revolving credit agreement, approximately $28 million of our IPO proceeds to fund capital expenditures, and approximately $27 million of our IPO proceeds to fund our operating activities.

Capital Expenditures

On July 26, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved $56 million in strategic capital investments for expanding manufacturing capacity and technology capabilities at our Minnesota facility. The majority of this investment is targeted to expand capacity and capabilities at our Minnesota fab which is expected to increase overall output by at least 40% and to enable accelerated revenue growth. The remainder is focused on expediting our entry into the gallium nitride, or GaN, market, a promising technology for electric vehicles, 5G and consumer electronics, among others due to its properties that enable higher charging efficiencies, smaller ship size, and lighter weight for many applications. We believe SkyWater can fill the need for a US-based 200 mm foundry to offer technology services for GaN-based solutions expanding the serviceable market for our technology-as-a-serviceSM model. The strategic capital investment is a multi-year strategy and we invested approximately $15.8 million during 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

For the first three months of 2022, we spent approximately $4.8 million on capital expenditures, including purchases of property, equipment and software. The majority of these capital expenditures relate to our foundry expansion in Minnesota, as discussed below, and the development of our advanced packaging capabilities at the Center for NeoVation in Florida. We anticipate our cash on hand and the availability under our Revolver will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures in 2022.

We have various contracts outstanding with third parties in connection with the completion of a building expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility. We have approximately $10 million of contractual commitments outstanding as of April 3, 2022 that we expect to be paid in 2022, through cash on hand and availability under our Revolver. On April 1, 2022, we commenced a finance lease for a nitrogen generator. The lease has a term of 15 years for total fixed payments of approximately $14 million.

Contingent Consideration

We anticipate paying $0.8 million to settle the remaining obligation related to our contingent consideration royalty liability in the first half of 2022. We anticipate our cash on hand and availability under our Revolver will provide the funds necessary to settle the contingent consideration royalty liability.

Working Capital

Historically, we have depended on cash on hand, funds available under our Revolver, funds from the sale of our land and building in Minnesota, cash flows from operations, and in the future may depend on additional debt and equity financings, similar to our IPO, to finance our expansion 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 12 months. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain future debt or equity financings adequate for our cash requirements on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

As of April 3, 2022, we had available aggregate undrawn borrowing capacity of approximately $29.1 million under our Revolver. However, we must maintain availability under the Revolver of at least $15 million in order to not have to comply with the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the Revolver with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on or prior to July 2, 2023. For the periods presented, our use of cash was primarily driven by our investing activities, and specifically by our investments in capital expenditures.

The following table sets forth general information derived from our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the first three months of 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021
	(in thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(10,792)	$	(8,424)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(4,814)	$	(5,397)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	9,124	$	10,601

First Quarter of 2022 Compared to First Quarter of 2021

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, we had $6.4 million and $12.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, including cash of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, held by a variable interest entity that we consolidate.

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, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue, all of which tend to be related and are affected by changes in the timing and volume of work performed and our increased expenditures as a public company. Net cash used in operating activities was $10.8 million during the first three months of 2022, a decrease of $2.4 million from $8.4 million of cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2022 was driven primarily by an increase in our costs as described in Gross profit (loss) above. Our operating cash flow was additionally impacted from the change in our working capital accounts. Deferred revenue decreased during the first three months of 2022 as we recognized revenue from customers who funded our building expansion during 2020.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures are a significant use of our capital resources. These investments 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 $4.8 million during the first three months of 2022, a decrease of $0.6 million from $5.4 million during the first three months of 2021. The decrease in cash used during the first three months of 2022 reflects decreased capital spending on property and equipment as we fully complete our foundry expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.1 million during the first three months of 2022, a decrease of $1.5 million from net cash provided by financing activities of $10.6 million during the first three months of 2021. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2022 was driven by a decrease in net proceeds of our revolver, which amounted to $9.4 million during the first three months of 2022 compared to $13.0 million during the first three

months of 2021. The decrease was additionally driven by a decrease in distributions to our VIE and partially offset from proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan.

Indebtedness

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to Oxbow Realty, LLC, or Oxbow Realty, an entity controlled by our principal stockholder for $39 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 lease 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 leaseback (a financing transaction). Under failed sale leaseback accounting, we are deemed the owner of the property with the proceeds received recorded as a financial obligation.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 28, 2020, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo, our Revolver, of up to $65 million that replaced our previous line of credit and term loan. Under the agreement, the facility is available on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and owned equipment. The Revolver is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. The Revolver can be repaid and borrowed again at any time without penalty or premium until the maturity date of December 28, 2025. The Revolver is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $10 million.

Under the Revolver, we can elect the base rate (greatest of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, LIBOR for a one-month period plus 1%, or the institution’s prime rate) or LIBOR for a period of one, two, three or six months as selected by us, plus a margin depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. We will also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% to 0.375% of the average commitment not utilized, depending on the amount not utilized. Interest payments are due monthly.

On November 3, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Revolver, effective as of October 1, 2021, to eliminate the requirement for us to comply with the leverage ratio financial covenant contained therein with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on or prior to July 2, 2023, so long as the remaining availability under the Revolver has equaled or exceeded $15 million. Certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, become applicable only if unused remaining availability falls below $15 million. As of April 3, 2022, our unused remaining availability was $29.1 million and 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 fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 on a rolling twelve-month basis. The fixed charge coverage ratio included in our credit agreement is defined as (A) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), less unfinanced capital expenditures, divided by (B) fixed charges, which are generally defined as cash interest and income taxes, scheduled principal payments on loans and contingent consideration arrangements, and restricted payments such as dividends. EBITDA, as defined, includes adjustments for such items as unusual gains or losses, equity-based compensation and management fees, as well as other adjustments. The leverage ratio financial covenant requires us to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.0 to 1.0 on a rolling twelve-month basis measured quarterly. The leverage ratio included in our credit agreement is defined as our funded indebtedness as of the measurement date divided by our EBITDA for the twelve-month period as of the measurement date.

The Revolver contains covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, investments, acquisitions, disposition of assets, and transactions with affiliates. Dividends, redemptions and other payments on equity (restricted payments) are limited to (1) restricted payments to the loan parties, and (2) declaring and making dividend payments or other distributions payable solely in capital stock. Customary events of default (with customary grace periods, notice and cure periods and thresholds) include payment default, breach of representation in any material respect, breach of certain covenants, default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy, ERISA violations, material judgments, change in control and termination or invalidity of guaranty or security documents.

Contractual Obligations

There were 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 January 2, 2022.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In connection with preparing our 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 to be relevant at the time we prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our 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 and inventory, share-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 material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022, except as set forth below.

Revenue Recognition of New Wafer Services Contract

Revenue is recognized either over time as work progresses using an output measure or at a point-in-time, depending upon contract-specific terms and the pattern of transfer of control of the product or service to the customer. Due to the nature of our contracts, there can be judgment involved in determining the performance obligations that are included in the related contract. We analyze each contract to conclude what enforceable rights and obligations exist between us and our customers. In doing so, we determine our unit of account by identifying the promises within the contract that are both (1) considered to be distinct and (2) distinct within the context of each contract.

In March 2022, we signed a new contract with a significant wafer services customer. Under the contract, orders are non-cancellable and we have an enforceable right to complete the orders and to payment for any finished or in-process wafers plus a reasonable margin. The wafers produced for that customer are highly customized and have no alternative use to us. Control of these wafers is deemed to transfer to the customer over time during the fabrication process, using the same measure of progress toward satisfying the promise to deliver the units to the customer. Consequently, the transaction price is recognized as revenue over time based on actual costs incurred in the fabrication process to date relative to total expected costs to produce all wafers beginning in March 2022. The contract terms and pricing is applicable to all in-process and future wafer. We recorded revenue of $8,230 in the first quarter of 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process at the date the contract was signed. Additionally, this change in the timing of revenue recognition reduced our work-in-process inventory and increased our unbilled receivables (contract assets) and cost of revenue. Under the previous contract with the significant customer, we were recognizing revenue at a point-in-time under a bill and hold arrangement as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of our recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted, see “Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To supplement our condensed consolidated financials presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, an additional non-GAAP financial measure is provided and reconciled in the following table.

We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management utilizes to evaluate our ongoing financial performance and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. We use adjusted EBITDA to provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The use of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable U.S. GAAP measure. In addition, because our non-GAAP measure is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it is susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measure presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including fair value changes in contingent consideration, management fees, inventory write-down, corporate conversion and IPO related costs, Paycheck Protection Program Loan forgiveness, SkyWater Florida start-up costs, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, and management transition expense.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, unless otherwise expressly indicated.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As these fees are not part of the core business, did not continue after our IPO and are excluded from management’s assessment of the business, we believe it is useful to investors to view our results excluding these fees.

(5)Represents net income attributable to our VIE, which was formed for the purpose of purchasing our land and building with the proceeds of a bank loan. Since depreciation and interest expense are excluded from net loss in our adjusted EBITDA financial measure, we also exclude the net income attributable to the VIE.

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 and accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in 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. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. Our consideration of the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon current market conditions and other factors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial 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 April 3, 2022.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial

Table of Contents

Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 3, 2022 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 has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As of April 3, 2022, we have material weaknesses in components of the COSO framework, including the control environment and risk assessment due to our limited accounting and finance resources, which resulted in inappropriate preparation, review and maintenance of documentation and information that is critical to the design and consistent execution and monitoring of internal controls. We did not sufficiently design, implement, and maintain control activities related to the recording of revenue to sufficiently assess the obligations for proper accounting, review of the completion of performance obligations and recognition of revenue. These material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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 Plan

To address our material weaknesses, we are in the process of hiring additional qualified accounting and finance personnel. In addition, we have developed a 2022 Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Remediation Plan which includes the various timing for implementation and documentation of policies, procedures and controls across all of our various processes.

While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. Until these weaknesses are remediated, we plan to continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Business

Nature of Business

SkyWater Technology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “SkyWater”), is a U.S. investor-owned, 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. In our technology as a service model, we leverage a strong foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits, or ICs) and related micro- and nanotechnology applications. In addition to these differentiated technology development services, we support customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through our Wafer Services.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

Corporate Conversion and Initial Public Offering

Effective April 14, 2021, we converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed our name to SkyWater Technology, Inc. Previously, we operated as a Delaware limited liability company under the name CMI Acquisition, LLC. As a result of the corporate conversion, the holders of the different series of units of CMI Acquisition, LLC, became holders of common stock and options to purchase common stock of SkyWater Technology, Inc. The number of shares of common stock that holders of Class B preferred units and common units were entitled to receive in the corporate conversion was determined in accordance with a plan of conversion, which was based upon the terms of the CMI Acquisition, LLC operating agreement, and varied depending on which class of Units a holder owned. See Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity.

On April 23, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock. Shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 21, 2021 under the symbol “SKYT”.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2022, and for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share information), 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 complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of January 2, 2022. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of April 3, 2022, our results of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending January 1, 2023, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), and SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows are for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, each of which consisted of 13 weeks.

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we will require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. In response to this, we are in the process of implementing a plan to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which includes a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, discontinue further expansion of our business, or scale back our existing operations. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on our Revolver, and these cost reduction measures, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company 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. To the extent that our current resources and plans to reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our 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 at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the United States and the world, with the continued potential for significant impact. Our business has been adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented modifications to employee travel and employee work locations, as required in some cases by federal, state and local authorities, which has had a negative impact on employee productivity. Because we have manufacturing operations, we may be vulnerable to an outbreak of a new coronavirus or other contagious diseases. Although we have not experienced a shutdown of our manufacturing facilities, the effects of such an outbreak could include the temporary shutdown of our operations or the operations of our customers, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers as well as disruptions that may affect our suppliers. Any disruption of our ability to manufacture or distribute our products, the ability of our suppliers to deliver key components on a timely basis, or our customers’ ability to order and take delivery of our products could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results. The future broader implications of the pandemic remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and the impact of our workforce of vaccine mandates.

Net Loss Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. Our previously outstanding Class B preferred units met the criteria of a participating security as they contained the rights to an 8% “preferred return” on the deemed original equity value of each such Class B preferred unit (accrued daily since the date of issuance of each such Class B preferred unit). Under the two-class method, income or losses are allocated between the common shareholders and the Class B preferred unitholders. The two-class method includes an allocation formula that determines income or loss per unit for each class according to preferred dividends and undistributed earnings or losses for the period. Our reported net loss for the three months ended April 4, 2021 is increased by the amount allocated to the Class B preferred units to arrive at the loss allocated to common shareholders for purposes of calculating net loss per share. As a result of our April 2021 corporate conversion and IPO, the number of common shares used to compute net loss per common share for the three months ended April 4, 2021 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the conversion akin to a split-like situation.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing

the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Because we reported a net loss for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, 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. At April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 3,414,000 and 2,329,000, respectively, 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 loss per common share for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our audited consolidated financial statements include an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 3, 2022, except with respect to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-2, Leases (“Topic 842”).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, we adopted the new standard on January 3, 2022 for our year ending January 1, 2023. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 15 – Leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard, ASU 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (“Topic 326”). This guidance replaces the current allowance for loan and lease loss accounting standard and focuses on estimation of expected losses over the life of the loans instead of relying on incurred losses. The standard is effective for certain public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, we intend to adopt the new standard on January 2, 2023 for our year ending December 31, 2023. However if we lose our emerging growth

company status prior to our intended adoption date, we may be required to adopt the new standard in the year we lose such status. We do not expect adopting Topic 326 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Wafer Services Contract

In March 2022, we signed a new contract with a significant wafer services customer. Under the contract, orders are non-cancellable and we have an enforceable right to complete the orders and to payment for any finished or in-process wafers plus a reasonable margin. The wafers produced for that customer are highly customized and have no alternative use to us. Control of these wafers is deemed to transfer to the customer over time during the fabrication process, using the same measure of progress toward satisfying the promise to deliver the units to the customer. Consequently, the transaction price is recognized as revenue over time based on actual costs incurred in the fabrication process to date relative to total expected costs to produce all wafers beginning in March 2022. The contract terms and pricing is applicable to all in-process and future wafers. We recorded revenue of $8,230 in the first quarter of 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process at the date the contract was signed.

Deferred Contract Costs

We recognized amortization of deferred contract costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations totaling $195 and $551 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are $26,207 and $16,303 at April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets balance at April 3, 2022 includes the impact from the new wafer services contract described above, in which we recorded revenue and contract assets of $8,230 for in-process wafers.

Contract Liabilities

The contract liabilities and other significant components of deferred revenue are as follows:

	April 3, 2022						January 2, 2022
	Contract Liabilities		Deferred Lease Revenue		Total Deferred Revenue		Contract Liabilities		Deferred Lease Revenue		Total Deferred Revenue
Current	$	18,606	$	4,667	$	23,273	$	16,141	$	4,667	$	20,808
Long-term	72,833		10,111		82,944		76,816		11,278		88,094
Total	$	91,439	$	14,778	$	106,217	$	92,957	$	15,945	$	108,902

The decrease in contract liabilities from January 2, 2022 to April 3, 2022 was primarily the result of completion of specific performance obligations for our customers. Approximately 3% of our total contract liabilities at January 2, 2022 were recognized in revenue in the first three months of 2022. Approximately 15% of our total contract liabilities at January 3, 2021 were recognized in revenue in the first three months of 2021.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of April 3, 2022, we had approximately $89,903 of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more, which are primarily related to Advanced Technology Services contracts. We expect to recognize those remaining performance obligations as follows:

Within one year	$	17,070
From one to two years	17,992
From two to three years	10,968
After three years	43,873
Total	$	89,903

We do not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Further, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Depreciation expense was $6,031 and $6,047 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. In December 2021, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our machinery and equipment and adjusted the estimated useful life from seven years to ten years to better reflect the estimated periods during which the assets will remain in service. This change in accounting estimate was effective beginning in December of 2021 on a prospective basis for all machinery and equipment acquired after March 1, 2017, the date in which we became an independent company as part of a divestiture from Cypress. The effect of this change in estimate resulted in a $445 decrease in depreciation expense for the three months ended April 3, 2022.

Intangible assets consist of purchased software and license costs from our acquisition of the business in 2017. Additionally, we have entered into license agreements for third-party software and licensed technology, which also comprise intangible assets. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we acquired third-party software and licensed technology of

$2,028, which will be amortized over a weighted average estimated life of 8.8 years. Intangible assets are summarized as follows:

	April 3, 2022		January 2, 2022
Intangible assets, net:
Software and licensed technology	$	8,653	$	6,625

Revolver

The outstanding balance of our amended and restated revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Revolver”) was $35,615 as of April 3, 2022 at an interest rate of 2.9%. Our remaining availability under the Revolver was $29,101 as of April 3, 2022. However, we must maintain availability under the Revolver of at least $15,000 in order to not have to comply with the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the Revolver with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on or prior to July 2, 2023. As of April 3, 2022, our unused remaining availability was $29,101 and 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.

Maturities

As of April 3, 2022, the Revolver is due in December 2025. The Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $194 over 10 years, with the balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 differ from the statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, and changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The 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 rate for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was 1.2%, compared to 17.2% for the three months ended April 4, 2021. The income tax benefit rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 than our statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. Based upon this analysis, a valuation allowance of $12,918 was recorded as of April 3, 2022 to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance at January 2, 2022 was $9,819.

No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. We would accrue, if applicable, income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no interest and penalties incurred during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

Shareholders’ Equity

Classes of Equity Units

Until our corporate conversion on April 14, 2021, we had three classes of limited liability interests, designated as Class A preferred units, Class B preferred units, and common units (collectively, the “Unit” or “Units”). The Class A preferred units were authorized specifically for issuance upon exercise of warrants, of which none were issued and outstanding. Class A preferred units and common units were non-voting classes, and Class B preferred units are a voting class.

Conversion

On April 14, 2021, we completed a corporate conversion. Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation effected in connection with the corporate conversion, our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 80,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of April 3, 2022, giving effect to the corporate conversion and our IPO, 39,904,690 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. No shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. On April 21, 2021, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “SKYT”.

Upon the corporate conversion, all Units were converted into an aggregate of 31,055,743 shares of our common stock. Each Class B preferred unit and common unit was converted into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing (1) the amount that would have been distributed in respect of each such Unit in accordance with CMI Acquisition, LLC’s operating agreement if all assets of CMI Acquisition, LLC had been sold for a cash amount equal to the pre-offering value of CMI Acquisition, LLC, as such value is determined by CMI Acquisition, LLC’s board of managers based on the fair value of each share of common stock (net of any underwriting discounts, fees and expenses), by (2) such per share fair value. The amounts that would have been distributed for this purpose in respect of Class B preferred units and common units were determined by reference to the terms of CMI Acquisition, LLC’s operating agreement, with different values applicable to each series of Units. Before any distributions were made on common units, distributions were made on each Class B preferred unit in an amount equal to the sum of an 8% “preferred return” on the deemed original equity value of each such Class B preferred unit (accrued daily since the date of issuance of each such Class B preferred unit) plus the amount of such original equity value. Only after those distributions were made, the common units, together with the Class B preferred units, shared in the remainder of the distribution on a pro rata basis. For purposes of the corporate conversion, pre-offering “per share fair value” was determined taking into account an assumed initial public offering price of common stock. Accordingly, the outstanding Units were converted as follows:

•holders of Class B preferred units received an aggregate of 27,995,400 shares of common stock; and

•holders of common units received an aggregate of shares 3,060,343 of common stock.

Initial Public Offering

On April 23, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued 8,004,000 shares of common stock, including the underwriter’s exercise of their right to purchase additional shares, at an initial offering price to the public of $14.00 per share. We received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $100,162 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $7,844 and offering costs of approximately $4,050.

Share-Based Compensation

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In connection with our IPO, we adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”). The 2021 Equity Plan became effective upon the consummation of the IPO. As of April 3, 2022, the 2021 Equity Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,150,000 shares of common stock to eligible individuals in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. The share reserve of the 2021 Equity Plan will be increased effective the first business day of each calendar year by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 150,000 shares of common stock; (ii) three percent (3%) of the shares of common stock

outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year; and (iii) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by the compensation committee.

Stock Options

During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 549,000 stock options, respectively, which vest ratably on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and expire 10 years from the grant date. No stock options were granted during the three months ended April 4, 2021. Share-based compensation expense related to stock option awards was $423 and $0 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model was based on yields available on the grant dates for U.S. Treasury Strips with maturity consistent with the expected life assumption. The expected term of the option represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Simplified Method (midpoint of average vesting time and contractual term). Expected volatility is based on an average of the historical, daily volatility of a peer group of similar companies over a period consistent with the expected life assumption ending on the grant date. We assumed no dividend yield in the valuation of the options granted as we have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and currently intend to retain earnings for use in operations.

	Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2022
Expected volatility:	47.2%
Expected term (in years):	6.25
Risk-free interest rate:	1.9%

The following table summarizes our stock option activity during the three months ended April 3, 2022:

Balance vested and exercisable as of April 3, 2022	22	$	14.00	$	—	0.2 years

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $5.37. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $5,782 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.5 years.

Restricted Common Stock Units

During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 10,000 restricted common stock units to newly appointed directors which vest in full on May 31, 2022. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we granted 263,000 restricted common stock units, which vest ratably on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The common stock relating to these restricted common stock units is issued upon vesting. The grantee has no rights as a common stockholder until the common stock related to the restricted common stock units have been issued. No restricted common stock units were granted during the three months ended April 4, 2021.

Share-based compensation expense related to restricted common stock unit awards was $2,377 and $0 for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted common stock units was $7,511 and is expected to be

recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. The estimated fair value of restricted common stock units is based on the grant date closing price of our common stock for time-based vesting awards. No restricted stock units vested during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021.

The following table summarizes our restricted common stock unit activity during the three months ended April 3, 2022:

	Number of Restricted Common Stock Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In connection with our IPO, we also adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”). A maximum of 707,000 shares of our common stock has been reserved for issuance under the 2021 ESPP. Under the 2021 ESPP, eligible employees may purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a discount not to exceed 15% of the lower of the fair market values of our common stock as of the beginning or end of each offering period, which may range from 6 to 27 months. Payroll deductions are limited to 15% of the employee’s eligible compensation and a maximum of 2,500 shares of our common stock may be purchased by an employee each offering period. The initial six-month offering period commenced on September 1, 2021 and 69,000 shares were purchased under the 2021 ESPP during the three months ended April 3, 2022. As of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, $351 and $937, respectively, was withheld on behalf of employees for future purchases under the 2021 ESPP and recorded as accrued compensation. Share-based compensation expense related to the 2021 ESPP was $207 for the three months ended April 3, 2022. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur. As of April 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2021 ESPP was $381 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the six-month offering period.

The fair value of the 2021 ESPP is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model was based on yields available on the grant dates for U.S. Treasury Strips with maturity consistent with the expected life assumption. Expected volatility is based on an average of the historical, daily volatility of a peer group of similar companies over a period consistent with the expected life assumption ending on the grant date. We assumed no dividend yield in the valuation of the options granted as we have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and currently intend to retain earnings for use in operations.

	Three Months Ended April 3, 2022
Expected volatility:	47.2%
Expected term (in years):	0.50

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value, we use a fair value hierarchy categorized into three levels based on inputs used. Generally, the three levels are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 inputs are used in the valuation of our contingent consideration obligation. The change in level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	April 3, 2022		April 4, 2021
Beginning balance	$	816	$	10,900
Payments	—		(3,356)
Change in fair value	—		56
Ending balance	$	816	$	7,600

We expect to pay our contingent consideration liability in the second quarter of 2022 at the amount currently recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other financial working capital items approximate fair values at April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022 due to the short maturity of these items. The carrying values of our borrowings under our Revolver and Financing approximate their fair values due to the frequency of the floating interest rate resets on these borrowings. The fair value of the Revolver and Financing were determined based on inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Our non-financial assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. As of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the resolution of these ordinary-course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is resolved in a manner that is favorable to our interests, such litigation can have a negative impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from our business and other factors.

Capital ExpendituresWe have various contracts outstanding with third parties which primarily relate to the completion of a building expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility. We have approximately $10 million of contractual commitments outstanding as of April 3, 2022 that we expect to be paid in 2022, through cash on hand and operating cash flows.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction

On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to an entity (“Oxbow Realty”) controlled by our principal stockholder. We subsequently entered into an agreement to lease the land and building from Oxbow Realty for initial 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. 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 agreement. Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of April 3, 2022 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from our condensed consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities):

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions. This included facilitating the purchase of our land and building with proceeds from a bank loan and managing the leaseback of the land and building to us. We determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under Topic 810, Consolidation, because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. We concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as we have the power to direct operation and maintenance decisions during the lease term, which would most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance. As the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Oxbow Realty, eliminate any transactions between us and Oxbow Realty, and record a non-controlling interest for the economic interest in Oxbow Realty not owned by us because the owners of our common stock do not legally have rights or obligations to those profits or losses. 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 us as of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to consolidation, and thus a portion of these assets and liabilities are eliminated in consolidation.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

On January 3, 2022, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and all related amendments using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, comparative prior periods, including disclosures, were not restated. We elected the transition package of practical expedients which, among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification. We chose not to elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and there was no adjustment to our retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on our operating results on an ongoing basis.

The most significant impact of the new leases standard was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. On January 3, 2022, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $184 and a lease liability of $184.

We lease certain property and equipment, such as our headquarters in Minnesota, our office location in Florida and certain production equipment under finance leases. We also lease our manufacturing location in Florida and warehouse space in Minnesota under operating leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. On April 1, 2022, we commenced a finance lease for a new nitrogen generator. The lease has a term of 15 years for total fixed payments of approximately $14,000.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Some of our leases include options to extend the term, which is only included in the lease liability and right-of-use assets calculation when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. As of April 3, 2022, the operating lease liability and operating right-of-use assets did not include any lease extension options.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to account for these as a single lease component only for equipment leases. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended April 3, 2022
Operating lease cost	$	13
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of assets	347
Interest on lease liabilities	88
Variable lease cost	—

SkyWater as the Lessor

In March 2020, we executed a contract with a customer that includes the right to use of a portion of our existing facility to produce wafers using the customer’s equipment. The contractual amount that relates to revenue from an operating lease was

$21,000, and is being recognized over the estimated lease term of 4.5 years. The total amount was prepaid by the customer and recorded as deferred revenue. See Note 4 – Revenue for additional information on revenue recognition and deferred revenue of the operating lease. The carrying value of the facility space utilized by the lessee was approximately $27,000, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,939 and $1,558 as of April 3, 2022 and January 2, 2022, respectively, and is included in property and equipment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), and SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows are for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, each of which consisted of 13 weeks.

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we will require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. In response to this, we are in the process of implementing a plan to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which includes a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, discontinue further expansion of our business, or scale back our existing operations. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on our Revolver, and these cost reduction measures, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company 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. To the extent that our current resources and plans to reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our 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 at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

COVID-19

COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout the United States and the world, with the continued potential for significant impact. Our business has been adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented modifications to employee travel and employee work locations, as required in some cases by federal, state and local authorities, which has had a negative impact on employee productivity. Because we have manufacturing operations, we may be vulnerable to an outbreak of a new coronavirus or other contagious diseases. Although we have not experienced a shutdown of our manufacturing facilities, the effects of such an outbreak could include the temporary shutdown of our operations or the operations of our customers, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers as well as disruptions that may affect our suppliers. Any disruption of our ability to manufacture or distribute our products, the ability of our suppliers to deliver key components on a timely basis, or our customers’ ability to order and take delivery of our products could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results. The future broader implications of the pandemic remain uncertain and will depend on certain future developments, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and the impact of our workforce of vaccine mandates.

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. Our previously outstanding Class B preferred units met the criteria of a participating security as they contained the rights to an 8% “preferred return” on the deemed original equity value of each such Class B preferred unit (accrued daily since the date of issuance of each such Class B preferred unit). Under the two-class method, income or losses are allocated between the common shareholders and the Class B preferred unitholders. The two-class method includes an allocation formula that determines income or loss per unit for each class according to preferred dividends and undistributed earnings or losses for the period. Our reported net loss for the three months ended April 4, 2021 is increased by the amount allocated to the Class B preferred units to arrive at the loss allocated to common shareholders for purposes of calculating net loss per share. As a result of our April 2021 corporate conversion and IPO, the number of common shares used to compute net loss per common share for the three months ended April 4, 2021 was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the conversion akin to a split-like situation.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing

the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Because we reported a net loss for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, 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. At April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 3,414,000 and 2,329,000, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Operating Segment Information

Operating 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 in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842. The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, we adopted the new standard on January 3, 2022 for our year ending January 1, 2023. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 15 – Leases.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard, ASU 2016-13, Current Expected Credit Losses (“Topic 326”). This guidance replaces the current allowance for loan and lease loss accounting standard and focuses on estimation of expected losses over the life of the loans instead of relying on incurred losses. The standard is effective for certain public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, we intend to adopt the new standard on January 2, 2023 for our year ending December 31, 2023. However if we lose our emerging growth

company status prior to our intended adoption date, we may be required to adopt the new standard in the year we lose such status. We do not expect adopting Topic 326 will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
