Insights

SkyWater Technology's first quarter 2024 results show a mixed financial performance. The company's revenue growth of 20% year-over-year is a positive indicator of expanding market demand, particularly in the advanced technology services (ATS) development sector, which saw a 28% increase. However, the decline in gross margin from 24.9% to 16.3% raises concerns over profitability and potential pricing pressure or increased production costs. With gross profit down 21% year-over-year, this margin compression is a key area to watch in future quarters. A net loss increase of 34% to $5.7 million also merits attention, as it may indicate operational challenges.

The adjusted EBITDA figure of $4.9 million, representing a 39% decrease year-over-year and constituting just 6.2% of revenue, suggests that the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization have weakened. This could point to internal inefficiencies or external cost pressures that could impact future profitability. Although the revenue increase is encouraging, the reduction in net income and margin pressures could be a cause for concern for investors looking at the company's financial sustainability.

The company's strategic partnerships, such as the one with Lumotive for optical beam steering chips, demonstrate SkyWater's ability to transition projects from development to production, potentially opening new avenues for revenue. The firm's anticipation of customer-funded capital investments exceeding $100 million and a three-year pipeline forecast to be around $200 million reflects strong customer commitment and could position SkyWater favorably within advanced technology sectors.

Despite a substantial decrease in Wafer Services revenue by 44%, SkyWater's long-term growth strategy appears to be paying off in the ATS segment. Investors, however, should evaluate how sustainable this growth is and whether it can offset challenges in other revenue streams. The overall revenue diversification and the record year for customer-funded capex can be viewed as part of a strategic move to reduce reliance on legacy products, which could benefit the company in adapting to evolving industry demands.

Seventh Straight Quarter of Record Revenue and 20% Growth Year-Over-Year

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SkyWater Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2024 ended March 31, 2024.

Financial Highlights for Q1 2024:

  • Revenue increased 20% year-over-year to a record $79.6 million.
  • Gross margin decreased to 16.3% on a GAAP basis, compared to 24.9% in Q1 2023, and decreased to 16.9% on a non-GAAP basis, compared to 25.7% in Q1 2023.
  • Net loss to shareholders of $5.7 million, or $0.12 per share on a GAAP basis, and net loss to shareholders of $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share on a non-GAAP basis, compared to net loss to shareholders of $4.3 million, or $0.10 per share on a GAAP basis, and net loss to shareholders of $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share on a non-GAAP basis in Q1 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million, or 6.2% of revenue, compared to $8.1 million, or 12.3% of revenue in Q1 2023.

“We entered 2024 with strong momentum and revenue growth exceeding our earlier expectations for our differentiated Advanced Technology Services business, with ATS development revenue increasing 7% sequentially from our prior record set in Q4 2023,” commented Thomas Sonderman, SkyWater chief executive officer. “While Q1 tool revenue came in lower than forecast due to delays in equipment deliveries, we remain at the forefront of an expected unprecedented year in customer-funded capital investments to enhance SkyWater’s technical capabilities in support of future growth in ATS and Wafer Services. We continue to anticipate another year of revenue growth for SkyWater in 2024, demonstrating that our unique business model offers a compelling value proposition for the development of new technology platforms and products.”

Recent Business Highlights:

  • Record Q1 Advanced Technology Service (ATS) development revenue exceeded expectations due to continued strong progress in multiple ATS programs within both the aerospace and defense and commercial end markets.
  • Our recent collaboration with Lumotive to start production of the world's first commercially-available optical beam steering chip marks another program transition from ATS development to Wafer Services, enabling mass production of dynamic optical metasurfaces for use in automated driving, robotics, and industrial manufacturing systems.
  • Customer-funded capex funding and awards since 2020 now exceed $100 million, with a pipeline over the next three-year timeframe anticipated to be in the range of $200 million, which we believe enables SkyWater to continue to achieve strong growth and high operating leverage with minimal requirements for substantial self-funded capital investments.
  • Revenue profile for fiscal 2024 continues to indicate a growth year for SkyWater, expected to be driven by increased ATS development revenue, a record year for customer-funded capex, and a decreasing contribution from legacy products.

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 gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, 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, and restructuring costs. 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.

Represents severance and other costs related to the reorganization of our resources.

(3)

Represents expenses related to long-term transformation activities focused on improvement in automation and operational efficiency and includes project-based management consulting fees and the write-off of abandoned software assets.

(4)

Represents net income attributable to our VIE, which was formed for the purpose of purchasing the land and building of our primary operating facility in Bloomington, Minnesota. Since interest expense is added back to net loss to shareholders in our adjusted EBITDA financial measure, we also add back the net income attributable to the VIE as its net income is derived from interest the VIE charges SkyWater.
