CEO Thomas Sonderman emphasized the company's operational efficiency and customer-funded CapEx as key drivers for future growth.

Positive

• Revenue increased 34% year-over-year to $93.3 million.
• GAAP net loss improved to $1.9 million from $8.6 million Y/Y.
• Non-GAAP net income of $0.8 million compared to a loss of $2.0 million Y/Y.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 million, indicating strong cash flow generation.
• Tools revenue surged to $25.9 million from $0.9 million Y/Y.

Negative

• Gross margin decreased to 18.3% on a GAAP basis and 18.9% on a non-GAAP basis.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 8.7% from 14.7% Y/Y.
• Wafer Services revenue dropped by 66% Y/Y to $5.8 million.

Financial Analyst

SkyWater Technology's Q2 2024 results show strong revenue growth but mixed profitability metrics. The $93.3 million revenue marks a 34% year-over-year increase, driven by Advanced Technology Services (ATS) and tools revenue. However, gross margins declined both on a GAAP (18.3% vs 23.9%) and non-GAAP basis (18.9% vs 25.3%).

The company achieved non-GAAP profitability with $0.8 million net income ($0.02 per share), a significant improvement from the $2.0 million loss in Q2 2023. However, Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $8.1 million (8.7% of revenue) from $10.3 million (14.7%) last year, indicating pressure on operational efficiency.

The shift towards a CapEx-light model through customer co-investments is promising for future profitability, but investors should monitor how this translates into margin expansion and sustained earnings growth.

Tech Industry Analyst

SkyWater's Q2 results highlight its strategic pivot towards Advanced Technology Services (ATS) and a unique "Technology as a Service" (TaaS) model. The 18% year-over-year growth in ATS revenue to $61.7 million underscores the company's success in attracting high-value development projects, particularly in aerospace and defense.

The installation of Multibeam's direct-write patterning system is a significant technological advancement, enabling SkyWater to offer cutting-edge lithography capabilities from prototyping to production. This aligns well with the TaaS model and could be a key differentiator in attracting and retaining customers in advanced semiconductor development.

The progress in next-generation medical applications, exemplified by the Quantum-Si collaboration transitioning to Wafer Services, demonstrates SkyWater's ability to support customers from development to commercialization. This full-cycle support could lead to more stable, long-term revenue streams.

Market Research Analyst

SkyWater's Q2 performance reflects broader trends in the semiconductor industry, particularly the increased focus on onshore, advanced manufacturing capabilities. The company's success in securing customer-funded CapEx aligns with the industry's push for more resilient supply chains and domestic production of critical technologies.

The significant growth in tools revenue ($25.9 million vs $0.9 million in Q2 2023) indicates strong customer commitment to SkyWater's manufacturing capabilities. This trend, coupled with the expected 2025 ramp of advanced packaging services in Florida, positions SkyWater well in the high-growth areas of heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging.

However, the sharp decline in Wafer Services revenue (66% year-over-year) warrants attention. While this may be part of the strategic shift towards ATS and tools, it's important to monitor whether this segment stabilizes or continues to decline, as it could impact overall revenue diversification.

• 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.

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.
