SkyWater Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024 ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Highlights for Q2 2024:

Revenue increased 34% year-over-year to a record $93.3 million.
Gross margin decreased to 18.3% on a GAAP basis, compared to 23.9% in Q2 2023, and decreased to 18.9% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 25.3% in Q2 2023.
Net loss to shareholders of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share on a GAAP basis, and net income to shareholders of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share on a non-GAAP basis, compared to net loss to shareholders of $8.6 million, or $0.19 per share on a GAAP basis, and net loss to shareholders of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share on a non-GAAP basis in Q2 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 million, or 8.7% of revenue, compared to $10.3 million, or 14.7% of revenue in Q2 2023.

"We are pleased to report continued strong results for our unique and differentiated Advanced Technology Services business, which – coupled with record levels of customer-funded CapEx – drove another record revenue quarter and positive non-GAAP EPS," commented Thomas Sonderman, SkyWater Chief Executive Officer. "With continued progress in efficiency gains, our second quarter results are indicative of the new revenue baseline required to support future profitability and positive cash flow from operations as we move into next year and beyond. With our revenue outlook for the underlying business remaining relatively consistent as we have progressed through 2024, our customers' commitments to fund the technical capabilities and capacity that will support future growth have continued to expand further. We believe these unprecedented levels of customer co-investment make SkyWater a uniquely CapEx-light semiconductor manufacturing partner, with an expanding gross margin profile and significant earnings growth potential in the years to come."

Recent Business Highlights:

Advanced Technology Service (ATS) development revenue exceeded expectations to reach a new record in Q2, reflecting strong operational execution and improved cycle times in response to accelerated demand on multiple aerospace and defense programs.
Record revenue results, along with significant progress achieved in our ongoing cost-control efforts, enabled positive non-GAAP EPS along with strong operating cash flow generation in Q2.
In next-generation medical applications, through our recent ATS collaboration with Quantum-Si, we are now transitioning their baseline technology to Wafer Services, a key milestone as they progress commercialization efforts for their state-of-the-art proteome sequencing technology.
The recent installation of Multibeam's high-productivity, direct-write patterning system is a key development supporting strong customer demand for our Technology as a Service ("TaaS") business model. The first-of-its-kind Multicolumn E-Beam Lithography (MEBL) system enables advanced lithography capability from early-concept prototyping through the production ramp.
The recent delivery of the first fan-out wafer-level packaging tool to SkyWater Florida is a significant milestone as we accelerate the tooling and facilitation of our operations in preparation for an expected 2025 ramp of our advanced packaging service offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide supplemental, non-GAAP financial information that our management regularly evaluates to provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our results reported using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We provide non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, non-GAAP net loss to shareholders, and non-GAAP net loss to shareholders per share. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to make informed operating decisions, complete strategic planning, prepare annual budgets, and evaluate Company and management performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful performance measures to our investors because they provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and 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 these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, other companies, including our peers, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. 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 earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental non-GAAP measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, business transformation costs, management transition expense, and CHIPS Act specialist fees. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to make informed operating decisions, complete strategic planning, prepare annual budgets, and evaluate Company and management performance. We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure to our investors because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to other companies, including our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. We exclude the items listed above from net income or loss in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because the amounts of these items can vary substantially within our industry depending on the accounting methods and policies used, book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income determined in accordance with 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 cost bases 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 financial measures should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, unless otherwise expressly indicated.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measures, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to our non-GAAP financial measures.
