SkyWater Technology Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results

2021 Record Revenue of $162.8 Million

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, ended January 2, 2022.

  • Record annual revenue increased 16% year-over-year to $162.8 million. Quarterly revenue decreased 3% year-over-year to $38.5 million.
  • Annual net loss to shareholders of $50.7 million, or (31)% of revenue. Quarterly net loss to shareholders of $27.0 million, or (70)% of revenue, includes a $13.4 million one-time inventory write-down.
  • Annual adjusted EBITDA of $(2.6) million, or (1.6)% of revenue. Quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $(4.9) million, or (12.6)% of revenue.

“SkyWater made great progress this year toward our vision of accelerating the path from ideation to commercialization in the semiconductor industry,” said SkyWater President and CEO Thomas Sonderman. “SkyWater continued to make important advancements on our long-term strategic platforms. Our radiation hardened technology recently achieved a critical qualification milestone and we made significant progress in power management with the introduction of our highly differentiated high-speed switching power MOSFET technology. We remain convinced that SkyWater’s unique model for timely and efficient technology realization is ideally positioned to drive increased shareholder value as our nation commits to enhancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing.”

Sonderman concluded, “Fourth quarter revenue grew 15% year-over-year, excluding the extra operating week in Q4 2020 and tool revenue. Labor market inflation and supply chain challenges persisted throughout the quarter, and we expect to continue to navigate these constraints, while investing strategically for growth. In 2022, we expect revenue growth near our long-term growth target of 25% and gross margin expansion. This is supported by our 2021 pipeline growth, new and expected program wins, and the expected movement of our radiation hardened technology to the productization phase.”

Recent Business Updates:

  • Won nine new Advanced Technology Services programs in the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Achieved a critical radiation hardened (rad-hard) technology qualification milestone.
  • Established presence in Indiana at WestGate@Crane Technology Park, adjacent to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) as part of the company’s rad-hard technology roadmap.
  • Introduced a breakthrough silicon power MOSFET device with Applied Novel Devices, Inc. (AND) enabling improved energy efficiency for power conversion applications.
  • Continued to make strong progress at the company’s heterogeneous integration fab in Florida including the fabrication of the company’s first full flow interposer within the first year after taking over operations.
  • Increased activities, a common measure of productivity, in the Minnesota facility by 12% year-over-year led by strong Advanced Technology Services execution.
  • Continued to amplify the company’s unique capabilities within all levels of government to support our nation’s commitment to invest strategically in domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Announced technology development to rapidly enable the production ramp of nanoscale sensors with NanoDx to enhance and expand accurate, rapid testing for several indications, including COVID-19, traumatic brain injury, sepsis and stroke.
  • Lauded the U.S. House of Representatives in the passage of the America COMPETES Act, which includes funding of $52 billion for the CHIPS for America Act.
  • Continued to navigate a dynamic supply chain for substrates, chemicals, and gases as well as inflationary pressures pervasive in the markets.
  • Achieved AS9100 certification, the standardized quality management system for organizations that design, develop, or provide aviation, space and defense products and services, at Minnesota facility.
  • Expanded Board of Directors with appointments of independent directors Nancy Fares, Amy Leong and Greg Graves.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management utilizes to evaluate our ongoing financial performance and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. We provide non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net loss to shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss per share. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this non-GAAP presentation provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this earnings press release should not be viewed as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because our non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, these measures are susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings press release may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

We also provide adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental non-GAAP measurements. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including fair value changes in contingent considerations, fair value changes in warrants and management fees, inventory write-down, corporate conversion and IPO related costs, Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness, SkyWater Florida start-up costs, net income attributable to non-controlling interests, and management transition expense. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.
