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.

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, 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.
stock. Shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 21, 2021 under the symbol “SKYT”. The shares were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 20, 2021.
We expect to use the proceeds from the IPO for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include financing our growth and funding 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 our output.

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 salesrevenue 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 availability and effectivenessimpact of vaccines.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 and six months ended JulyApril 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. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, we did not apply the two-class method since only Class B preferred units were outstanding and were thus the lowest level of equity subordination. 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 and six months ended JulyApril 4, 2021 werewas retrospectively adjusted to reflect the conversion akin to a split-like situation.

(unaudited in thousands, except share, unit and per share and unit data)
Our historical balance sheets reflect the number of common units outstanding prior to the corporate conversion and no adjustment was made.
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 year determined using the treasury-stock method. Because we reported a net loss for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of units 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 July 4, 2021, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 3,966,000 excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. There were 0 restricted stock units and stock options outstanding at June 28, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASUAccounting 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 intend to adoptadopted the new standard on January 3, 2022 for our year ending January 1, 2023.

We do not expect adoptingof Topic 842 willdid not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.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

Under the contract, orders are non-cancellable and activity-based rates, which 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 accounting forhighly 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 as we perform. In addition, we agreed to provide BRIDG access to the cleanroomsbased on actual costs incurred in the facilities that are subjectfabrication 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.

The decrease in contract liabilities from January 2, 2022 to April 3, 2021 to July 4, 20212022 was primarily the result of completion of specific performance obligations for our customers. Approximately 20%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 sixthree months of 2021.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, we had approximately $85,019$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$15,19617,070 
From one to two years12,69517,992 
From two to three years12,69510,968 
After three years44,43343,873 
Total$85,01989,903 
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 31, 2020,2021, 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 a note receivable with a key employeelicense agreements for $222. The note may be repaid any time prior to its maturity datethird-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 March 31, 2022 and bears interest at 6%.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 was 40.5% and 36.0%1.2%, compared to (20.9)% and 0.4%17.2% for the three and six months ended June 28, 2020.April 4, 2021. The income tax benefit rate applied to our pre-tax loss was higherlower for the three and six months ended JulyApril 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 than our statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the gain on the PPP Loan forgiveness, which is exempt from federal income taxation. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, the effective income tax rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower than our statutory tax rate of 21% due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, partially offset by excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation expense.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 $1,401$12,918 was recorded as of July 4, 2021April 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 3, 20212, 2022 was $1,609.$9,819.

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”). There were 2,000,000The Class A preferred units were authorized specifically for issuance upon exercise of warrants, of which NaNnone were issued and outstanding at January 3, 2021. There were 18,000,000 Class B preferred units authorized, of which 18,000,000 were issued and outstanding at January 3, 2021. There were 5,000,000 common units authorized, of which 3,057,344 were issued as of January 3, 2021 and 2,107,452 were outstanding as of January 3, 2021.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 July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, giving effect to the corporate conversion and our IPO, 39,059,74339,904,690 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. NaNNo shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. As discussed in Note 1 – Nature of Business, onOn 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.

Stock Options
OnDuring the three months ended April 21, 2021,3, 2022, we granted 342,783549,000 stock options, which vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date and expire 15 months from the grant date; and granted 744,374 stock optionsrespectively, 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 $439$423 and $0 for the three months ended JulyApril 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, and June 28, 2020, respectively, and $444 and $488 for the six months ended July 4, 2021 and June 28, 2020, 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 SECSecurities 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.

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 700,000707,000 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 July 4,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 initial2021 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 had not commenced.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.

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:

The change in fair value is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value ofpay our contingent consideration liability in the second quarter of 2022 at July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021 was determined using forecasted receipts of projected future revenues of Advanced Technology Services. The royalty is paid out quarterly through 2021. The forecasted future cash flows were discounted reflecting the risk in estimating future revenues. We expect total future cash payments to be between $3,900 and $4,000.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 July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and January 3, 20212, 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 July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and January 3, 2021,2, 2022, we did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies
Foundry Services Agreement
Under a Foundry Services Agreement (“FSA”) which expired in June 2020, we were required to provide semiconductor wafers to our main customer over a 40-month period, beginning March 1, 2017, at contractual rates. As part of the FSA, the customer guaranteed certain levels of purchase orders for wafers. Sales of Wafer Services to this customer were $10,932 and $23,477 for the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, respectively.
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.

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 July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and January 3, 2021.2, 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:

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
29

Table of Contents
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

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 mixed-signal 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 sixthree 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 salesrevenue 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 ProspectusAnnual 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 April 18, 2020,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 received proceeds of $6.5 million pursuantcontinue to evaluate the evolving situation and our customers’ requirements. Evolving government requirements, including regarding a loan undervaccine mandate, along with the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, under the termsbroader impacts of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,continuing pandemic, could significantly impact our workforce and Economic Security Act. PPP loan recipients can applyperformance, 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.

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 salesrevenue 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:
Net salesrevenue and gross profit; and
Earningsearnings 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.

Interest expense
Interest expense decreased to $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, from $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. Interest expense decreased to $2.0$1.0 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2021,2022, from $2.8$1.1 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2020.2021. The decreasesdecrease in interest expense werewas a result of lower debt balances, partially offset by higher interest rates on our Revolver and the Financing during the first sixthree months of 20212022 compared to the interest rates charged on our previous line of credit and term loan during the comparable prior year periods.period.
Income tax benefitexpense (benefit)
The incomeIncome tax benefit increaseddecreased to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, from an expense of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2020. The income tax benefit increased to $4.7$0.2 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2021,2022, from a benefit of $28,000$0.4 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2020.2021. The effective income tax rate for the secondfirst quarter and first six months of 20212022 was a benefit of 40.5% and 36.0%1.2%, compared to a benefit (expense)an effective income tax rate of (20.9)% and 0.4%17.2% for the secondfirst quarter and first six months of 2020.2021. The effective income tax benefit rate applied to our pre-tax loss was higherlower for the second quarterfirst quarters of 2022 and first six months of 2021 than our statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the gain on the PPP Loan forgiveness, which is exempt from federal income taxation. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, the effective income tax rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower than our statutory tax rate of 21% due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, partially offset by excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation expense.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. We began consolidating Oxbow Realty in the fourth quarter of 2020 and therefore have no similar presentation for the first and second quarters of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.3$10.5 million, or (133)%186%, to $(0.8) million for the second quarter of 2021 from $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.0 million, or 38%, to $4.8$(4.8) million for the first six monthsquarter of 20212022 from $7.8$5.6 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2020.2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA during the secondfirst quarter and first six months of 20212022 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, offset by a shift in mix to more profitable Advanced Technology Services sales.company.

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 operations, payment of amounts due underbusiness, or scale back our contingent consideration liability, lease obligations and the normal operation of our business. Our ability to meet these working capital needs and grow our business will depend on many factors, including our future working capital needs, the evolution of our operating cash flows and our ability to secure additional sources of financing.

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, (GaN)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 Servicetechnology-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 sixthree months of 2021,2022, we spent approximately $13.3$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 above,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 and future cash flows from operations will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures in 2021.2022.
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 $15$10 million of contractual commitments outstanding as of July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 that we expect to be paid in 2021,2022, through cash on hand and operating cash flows.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
ForWe anticipate paying $0.8 million to settle the first six months of 2021, we made cash payments of $6.1 millionremaining obligation related to our contingent consideration royalty liability. We estimate that we will pay between $3.9 million and $4.0 million on contingent consideration related to this liability in the future.first half of 2022. We anticipate our cash on hand and cash flows from operationsavailability under our Revolver will provide the funds necessary to settle the contingent consideration royalty liability.

Working Capital
Historically, we have depended on cash flows from operations, cash on hand, funds available under our previous line of credit and term loan,Revolver, funds from the sale of our land and building in Minnesota, fundscash flows from our Revolver,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 July 4, 2021,April 3, 2022, we had available aggregate undrawn borrowing capacity of approximately $28.9$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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At July 4, 2021April 3, 2022 and January 3, 2021,2, 2022, we had $64.6$6.4 million and $7.4$12.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, including cash of $0.5$0.2 million and $0.9$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 $30.8$10.8 million during the first sixthree months of 2021,2022, a decrease of $133.8$2.4 million from $103.0$8.4 million of cash provided byused in operating activities during the first sixthree months of 2020.2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the first sixthree months of 20212022 was driven primarily by aan 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, specifically deferred revenue and accounts receivable.accounts. Deferred revenue decreased during the first sixthree months of 20212022 as we recognized revenue from customers who funded our building expansion during 2020. Accounts receivable increased during the first six months of 2021 due to the timing of cash collected from customers.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures are a significant use of our capital resources. These investments are intended to enable salesrevenue growth in new and expanding markets, help us meet product demand and increase our manufacturing efficiencies and capacity. During 2020, we had various contracts outstanding with third parties in connection with the construction of a building expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota fab, a portion of which continues into 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities was $13.3$4.8 million during the first sixthree months of 2021,2022, a decrease of $23.5$0.6 million from $36.8$5.4 million during the first sixthree months of 2020.2021. The decrease in cash used during the first sixthree months of 20212022 reflects decreased capital spending on property and equipment as we fully complete our foundry expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility, offset by $0.4 million of capital spending on software.facility.

Table of Contents
$39 $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 ownerstockholder 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 “prime rate.”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.
TheOn November 3, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Revolver, includes aeffective as of October 1, 2021, to eliminate the requirement for us to comply with the leverage ratio financial covenant thatcontained 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 revolving credit agreement is defined as (A) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA,(“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 Revolver also includes aleverage ratio financial covenant that requires us to maintain a leverage ratio of no greater than 3.53.0 to 1.0 on a rolling twelve-month basis measured quarterly. On January 2, 2022, the ratio decreases to 3.0 to 1.0 through the remainder of the agreement. The leverage ratio included in our revolving 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.

In connection withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the Revolver, we repaid all outstanding amounts owed under our previous term loan totaling $28.2 million of principal, accrued interest and prepayment penalties. Amounts owed under our previous line of credit totaling $2.8 million of principal and accrued interest were rolled over into the Revolver and our previous line of credit was discontinued. On December 28, 2020, we also repurchased the warrants held by the lender of our term loan for $14 million from our cash and cash equivalents.fiscal year ended January 2, 2022.
As of July 4, 2021, we were not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and the leverage ratio related to the Revolver. On August 1, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Revolver that, effective as of August 1, 2021, amended the Revolver to eliminate the requirement for us to comply with those financial covenants as of July 4, 2021. Under the Revolver, as amended, we were in full compliance with the Revolver covenant requirements as of July 4, 2021.
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

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

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires uswe are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and assumptionsapply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.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 assumptionsfactors that we believe areto be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Revenue Recognition of Significant Accounting PoliciesNew 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 condensed consolidated financial statementscustomer. 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 Prospectus.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, equity-based compensation, fair value changes in warrants and management fees, inventory write-down, corporate conversion and IPO related costs, PPPPaycheck 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
39

Table of Contents
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.

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 July 4, 2021.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

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 July 4, 2021April 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 the section titled “Risk Factors”Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our Prospectus,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 July 4, 2021,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 capture and measure progress to completeassess the obligations for proper accounting, review of the completion of performance obligations and recognize revenue as partrecognition of the monthly close process to support the accounting for certain contracts.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 have hired and are in the process of hiring additional qualified accounting and finance personnel inpersonnel. In addition, to formalizingwe have developed a 2022 Sarbanes-Oxley 404 Remediation Plan which includes the various timing for implementation and documentation of policies, procedures and controls and further evolvingacross all of our accounting processes related the recognition of revenue.

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
As part of our remediation plan discussed above, we hired three additional resources and continued formalizing documentation of policies, procedures and controls and evaluating the implementation of new and existing controls during the quarter ended July 4, 2021. Such remediation actions were changesThere was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended July 4, 2021our most recently completed fiscal quarter that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management continues to implement the comprehensive remediation program to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated and that our controls operate effectively.

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering of Common Stock
On April 23, 2021, we completed our IPO in which we issued 8,004,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, which included 1,044,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) at the IPO price, less the underwriting discount and commissions. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254580), as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 20, 2021, and the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255385) filed on April 20, 2021 pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act. Jefferies LLC and Cowen and Company, LLC acted as the representatives of the several underwriters in our IPO.
Following the sale of the shares in connection with the April 23, 2021 closing of the IPO, the offering was terminated. We received aggregate net proceeds of $100.2 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $7.8 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $4.1 million. None of such payments have been made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates. Since the closing of the IPO, we estimate that we have utilized approximately $15 million of our IPO proceeds to pay down our Revolver and approximately $7 million of our IPO proceeds to fund capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the proceeds from the IPO for acquisitions or strategic investments in businesses or technologies, including $56 million in strategic capital investments for expanding manufacturing capacity and technology capabilities at our Minnesota facility which is
