FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, our expectations regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “seek,” “potential,” “believe,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would” and “project” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar words or expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Key factors that may affect our results include, among others, the following:
•
our goals and strategies;
•
our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;
•
our ability to continue operating our sole semiconductor foundry at full capacity;
•
our ability to appropriately respond to changing technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis;
•
our customer relationships and our ability to retain and expand our customer relationships;
•
our ability to accurately predict our future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting and adjusting our expenses;
•
our expectations regarding dependence on our largest customers;
•
our ability to diversify our customer base and develop relationships in new markets;
•
the performance and reliability of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers;
•
our ability to procure tools, materials, and chemicals amid industry-wide supply chain shortages;
•
our ability to control costs, including our operating and capital expenses;
•
the size and growth potential of the markets for our solutions, and our ability to serve and expand our presence in those markets;
•
the level of demand in our customers’ end markets;
•
our ability to attract, train and retain key qualified personnel in a competitive labor market;
•
adverse litigation judgments, settlements or other litigation-related costs;
•
changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs;
•
our ability to raise additional capital or financing;
•
our ability to accurately forecast demand;
•
changes in local, regional, national and international economic or political conditions, including those resulting from rising inflation and interest rates, a recession, or intensified international hostilities;
•
the level and timing of U.S. government program funding;
•
our ability to maintain compliance with certain U.S. government contracting requirements;
•
regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;
•
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; and
•
other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023.
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. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or outcomes. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views only as of the date hereof. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to conform such statements to changes in our expectations or to our actual results, or for any other reason, except as required by law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1
Nature of Business
SkyWater Technology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, "SkyWater", the "Company", “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from its fabrication facility, or fab, in Minnesota and advanced packaging services from its Florida facility. In its 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.
SkyWater is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.
Note 2
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 2, 2023, and for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share information), are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of January 1, 2023 and for the year then ended. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of April 2, 2023, our results of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022.
The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.
Principles of Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), and SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and the variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows are for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022.
Liquidity and Cash Requirements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of uncertainties.
For the three months ended April 2, 2023, we incurred losses of $
4,273
. As of April 2, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $
13,840
.
Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to maintain liquidity and 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 may require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next 12 months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. We have identified specific actions we could take to reduce operating costs and improve cash flow, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring certain personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require us to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of our business. The Company also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC ("Oxbow Industries"), an affiliate of our principal stockholder CMI Oxbow Partners, LLC ("Oxbow"), to provide funding in an amount up to $
12,500
, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due through at least one year beyond the issuance of these financial statements. Management believes that based upon SkyWater's operating forecasts, cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
on the Revolver, potential cost reduction measures, and the support letter from Oxbow Industries, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, we could raise additional capital through the ATM Program (as defined below) and seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver, however we cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. See Note 8 –
Shareholders’ Equity
for information regarding the ATM Program.
SkyWater 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.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common 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 common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Because we reported a net loss for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares 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 April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling
2,949,000
and
3,414,000
, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023 include an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the
10
Table of Contents
SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 2, 2023. However, we adopted the provision of the new credit loss accounting standard as discussed below.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), later codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"). Topic 842 was effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, we adopted Topic 842 on January 3, 2022 for our year ending January 1, 2023. The guidance in Topic 842 supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize lease right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. We adopted Topic 842, and all related amendments using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, we did not restate prior periods, nor restate prior lease disclosures. We also elected certain practical expedients allowed by Topic 842 which, among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification conclusions previously made under Topic 840 and to exclude from the scope of our application of Topic 842 lease arrangements with terms less than twelve months. The most significant impact of adopting Topic 842 was the recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of an initial right-of-use asset of $
184
and an initial lease liability of $
184
for our operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new credit loss accounting standard, ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Current Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, later codified in Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("Topic 326"). Topic 326 replaces the preexisting guidance that only required the recognition of credit losses when losses were probable and estimable. Topic 326 now requires recognition of credit losses based on SkyWater's expectation of losses to be incurred while the financial instrument is held. Topic 326 was effective for most public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, we adopted Topic 326 on January 2, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $
375
for the effects of increasing our allowance for credit losses as of January 2, 2023. All other impacts to SkyWater's financial position, results of operations and cash flows were immaterial.
Note 4
Revenue
Wafer Services Contract
In March 2022, we signed a contract with a significant wafer services customer. Under the contract, orders are non-cancellable and we have an enforceable right 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. 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. The contract 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. The contract terms and pricing is applicable to all in-process and future wafers. We recorded revenue of $
8,230
in the three months ended April 3, 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process.
Revenue Recognition of Advanced Technology Services Contract
Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time as work progresses using either the input or output method based upon which method we believe represents the best indication of the overall progress toward satisfying each performance obligation. Over time revenue recognition using the output method relies on performance completed to date or contractual milestones if they correlate directly with the progress to satisfy our performance obligations. Over time revenue recognition using the input method is based on costs incurred to date compared to estimated total cost required to complete each performance obligation as of the reporting date. We measure progress by comparing total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs of each performance obligation, and record that proportion of the contract price allocated to that performance obligation as revenue. Costs include labor, manufacturing costs, materials and other direct costs related to the customer contract. During the third quarter of 2022, we signed contracts with a significant Advanced Technology Services customer that for which revenue is recognized based upon the input method using a cost-based measure of progress.

Deferred Contract Costs
We recognized amortization of deferred contract costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations totaling $

for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, respectively.
Contract Assets
Contract assets were $

The decrease in contract liabilities from January 1, 2023 to April 2, 2023 was primarily the result of completion of specific performance obligations for our customers. Of our total contract liabilities at January 1, 2023,
6
% were recognized in revenue during the three months ended April 2, 2023. Of our total contract liabilities at January 2, 2022,
3
% were recognized in revenue in the three months ended April 3, 2022.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of April 2, 2023, we had approximately $
139,152
of remaining performance obligations that had not been fully satisfied on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more, which were primarily related to Advanced Technology Services contracts. We expect to recognize those revenues as we satisfy our performance obligations, which do not exceed
6.5
years.
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 financing 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.

as of April 2, 2023 at an interest rate of
11.1
% due in December 2025. Our remaining availability under the Revolver was $

VIE Financing
On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, an affiliate of Oxbow and the VIE which we consolidate (see Note 12 –
Related Party Transactions
, and Note 13 –
Variable Interest Entity
) entered into a loan agreement with Citi Real Estate Fund

(unaudited in thousands, except share, unit and per share and unit data)
("Citi") for $
39,000
(the “Financing”) to finance its acquisition of the building and land associated with our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $
194
over
10
years, with the balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. The interest rate under the Financing is fixed at
3.44
%. The Financing is guaranteed by our principal stockholder, Oxbow, who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty.
Tool Financing Loan
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell a manufacturing tool to an equipment financing lender for $
3,100
in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an additional $
496
in the first quarter of 2023. We entered into agreements to lease the tool from the lender for combined monthly payments of $
101
over
42 months
. The agreements provide for a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term which we intend to exercise. The transactions represent a failed sale leaseback with the manufacturing tool retained on our balance sheet and the proceeds received recorded as a financial obligation.

Note 7
Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 differ from the statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, the tax impact of the vesting of restricted stock units and changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 was
0.0
% and
1.2
%, respectively. The income tax rate applied to our pre-tax loss was lower than our statutory tax rate of
21
% for both the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
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 $
19,855
was recorded as of April 3, 2022 and January 1, 2023 to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions. We would accrue, if applicable, income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were
no
interest and penalties incurred during the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022.
In August 2022, the U.S. enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (the "CHIPS" Act). The CHIPS Act provides incentives to semiconductor chip manufacturers in the United States, including providing a 25% manufacturing investment credit for investments in semiconductor manufacturing property placed in service after December 31, 2022, for which construction begins before January 1, 2027. Property investments qualify for the 25% credit if, among other requirements, the property is integral to the operation of an advanced manufacturing facility, defined as having a primary purpose of manufacturing semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Currently, we are evaluating the impact of the CHIPS Act on our business.

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 were 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:

Non-financial assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, are initially recorded at acquisition cost when acquired, or at fair value if acquired via a business combination. Non-financial assets are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized.
Note 11
Commitments and Contingencies
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.
Capital Expenditures
We have various contracts outstanding with third parties which primarily relate to the completion of a building expansion project to increase manufacturing capacity at our Minnesota facility. We have approximately $
4.4
million of contractual commitments outstanding as of April 2, 2023 that we expect to be paid in the remainder of 2023, through cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Center for NeoVation
On January 25, 2021, we entered into a technology and economic development agreement (the “TED Agreement”), and a lease agreement (the “CfN Lease”) with the government of Osceola County, Florida (“Osceola”) and ICAMR, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation (“BRIDG”), to lease and operate the Center for NeoVation (the “CfN”), a semiconductor research and development and manufacturing facility that serves as our primary operating location in Kissimmee, Florida. Under the CfN Lease, we agree to bring the plant to full production capacity within
5
years, and then to operate the plant at full capacity for an additional
15
years. At the end of the lease, we will take ownership of the facility. We are responsible for taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, operation of the assets, and making capital investments in the facility to bring it to full production capacity. Investments and costs required to bring the facility to full capacity will be substantial. We may terminate the TED Agreement and CfN Lease with
18
months' notice. In the event we terminate the agreements, we are required to continue to operate the CfN until we find a replacement operator or the
18
months expire, and may be required to make a payment of up to $
15,000
to Osceola.
Build Back Better Grant
In the third quarter of 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration granted funds to Osceola and BRIDG for continued development of Central Florida’s Semiconductor Cluster for Broad-Based Prosperity through the Build Back Better Regional Challenge, a portion of which is committed to the expansion of the CfN clean room and purchase and installation of tools and machinery in the CfN. In February 2023, SkyWater committed to contributing a
20
% “matching share” of the project costs to Osceola totaling approximately $
9,100
. SkyWater's commitment to fund this matching contribution is limited to $
1,000
in any single calendar quarter
.
Note 12
Related Party Transactions
In August 2022, we entered into an agreement with Oxbow Industries, an affiliate of our principal stockholder, Oxbow, to provide funding in an amount up to $
12,500
, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due. In March 2023, the agreement was amended to extend the term through March 2025. No amounts have been provided to the Company under this agreement.
Sale-Leaseback Transaction
On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to an entity, Oxbow Realty, controlled by our principal stockholder. We subsequently entered into an agreement to lease the land and building back from Oxbow Realty for initial payments of $
394
per month over

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 agreement.
Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of April 2, 2023 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from our condensed consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 13 –

Variable Interest Entity
Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions. This included facilitating the purchase of the land and building of our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota with proceeds from a bank loan from Citi (see Note 6 –
Debt
) and managing the leaseback of the land and building to us (see Note 12 –
Related Party Transactions
). We determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under FASB Topic 810, Consolidation, because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. Furthermore, we are the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as we have the power to direct operating and maintenance decisions of our Bloomington, Minnesota facility 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 April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to consolidation, and thus a portion of these assets and liabilities are eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” herein and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We refer to the three-month periods ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022 as the first quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2022, respectively. Each of these three-month periods includes 13 weeks. All percentage amounts and ratios presented in this management’s discussion and analysis were calculated using the underlying data in thousands. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes identified for the current period results represent comparisons to results for the prior corresponding period.
For purposes of this section, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “SkyWater” refer to SkyWater Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.
Overview
We are a U.S.-based, 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, or 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 pure-play technology foundry with Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) Category 1A Trusted Accreditation from the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, positions 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.
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 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 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, or Cypress, as a captive manufacturing facility for 26 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 services 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, or Infineon.
Factors and Trends Affecting our Business and Results of Operations
The following trends and uncertainties either affected our financial performance during the first three months of 2023 and 2022 or are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future.
22
Table of Contents
•
Macroeconomic and competitive conditions, including cyclicality and consolidation, as well as the global availability of significant incentives in semiconductor technology and manufacturing affecting the semiconductor industry.
•
On August 9, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors, or CHIPS, and Science Act, in which the United States has committed to a renewed focus on providing incentives and funding for onshore companies to develop and advance the latest semiconductor technologies, supporting onshore manufacturing capabilities, and on strengthening key onshore supply chains. The act authorizes the U.S. Department of Commerce to enable execution of CHIPS awards and provides $52.7 billion for American semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development, including $39 billion in financial assistance to build, expand, or modernize domestic facilities and equipment for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, or research and development.
•
Our overall level of indebtedness from our revolving credit agreement for up to $100 million, which we refer to as the Revolver (as defined below and in Note 6 –
Debt
), and a $37 million financing from the sale of the land and building representing our headquarters in Minnesota, which we refer to as the Financing, the corresponding interest rates charged to us by our lenders and our ability to access borrowings under the Revolver.
•
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 revenue 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:
•
revenue and gross profit; and
•
earnings 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. For information regarding our non-GAAP financial measure, see the section entitled “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below.

Revenue
Revenue was $66.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $48.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. The $18.0 million or 37% increase was primarily driven by the growth in Advanced Technology Services revenues.
The following table shows revenue by service type for the first quarter ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022:

The decrease in Wafer Services revenue of $3.8 million, or (17)%, from the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by a
one-time revenue event of $8.2 million related to
a new contract signed with a significant customer in
the first quarter of 2022
, partially offset by $4.6 million of increases due to continued strengthening in our automotive and medical industry end markets.
24
Table of Contents
The increase in Advanced Technology Services revenues of $21.7 million, or 82%, from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023 was due to continued momentum in U.S. government activities, in partnership with SkyWater, to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base, as well as a $2.3 million increase in activity in the cloud and computing end market.
Gross profit (loss)
Gross profit (loss) increased $17.4 million to $16.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $(0.9) million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to strong growth of Advanced Technology Services revenue and increased fab efficiency.
Research and development
Research and development costs increased to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $0.4 million, or 17%, was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expense, due to our continued investment in internal personnel and external engineering support.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $3.2 million, or 27%, was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $2.2 million, a $0.8 million increase in personnel expense as a result of our continued investment in internal personnel, and a $1.0 million increase in our discretionary expenses, including commission expense, recruiting expense, lobbying expense, and IT expense. These increases were offset by a decrease in equity based compensation of $0.7 million.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily the result of increased amounts outstanding under the Revolver and a higher interest rate in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense decreased to $0 for the first quarter of 2023 from $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 0.0%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 1.2% for the first quarter of 2022.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased by $0.2 million to $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.9 million to $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 from $(4.8) million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase primarily reflects increased revenues at higher margins as a result of the overall growth in our Advanced Technology Services , partially offset by increased labor and infrastructure costs as we continue to scale our business to meet the demands of our customers.
For a discussion of adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the section below entitled “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 –
Debt
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we may require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. We have identified specific actions we could
25
Table of Contents
take to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which include a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in certain personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of planned investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of our business. We also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC ("Oxbow"), an affiliate of our principal stockholder, to provide funding in an amount up to $12.5 million, if necessary, to enable us to meet our obligations as they become due through at least one year beyond the issuance of these financial statements. Based upon its operational forecasts, management believes cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on our Revolver, potential cost reduction measures, and the support letter from an affiliate of our principal stockholder, as needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund SkyWater's operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, we could raise additional capital through the ATM Program (as defined in Note 8 –
Shareholders’ Equity
) and seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver. However, we cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source, or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
SkyWater 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.
We had $13.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, not including cash held by a variable interest entity that we consolidate, and availability under our Revolver of $19.7 million as of April 2, 2023. We are subject to certain liquidity and EBITDA covenants under our Loan Agreement, as outlined in the Indebtedness section of Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis below.
ATM Program
For the three months ended April 2, 2023, SkyWater sold 245,289 shares under the ATM Program at an average sale price of $11.33 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.8 million before deducting sales commissions and fees of $0.1 million. SkyWater used the net proceeds of $2.7 million to fund its operations. See Note 8 –
Shareholders’ Equity
for information regarding the ATM Program.
Capital Expenditures
For the three months ended April 2, 2023, we spent approximately $4.9 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 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 will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures in fiscal 2023.
We have approximately $4.4 million of contractual commitments relating to various anticipated capital expenditures outstanding as of April 2, 2023 that we expect to be paid in the remainder of 2023, through either cash on hand or availability under our Revolver.
Working Capital
Historically, we have depended on cash on hand, funds available under our Revolver and, more recently, net proceeds from sales of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Program, and, in the future, we may need to depend on additional debt and equity financings to fund 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 twelve months. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain future debt or equity financings on commercially reasonable terms sufficient to meet our cash requirements.
As of April 2, 2023, the outstanding balance of our Revolver was $56.1 million, and our remaining availability under the Revolver was $19.7 million. As of April 2, 2023, 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 following table sets forth general information derived from our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the first three months of 2023 and 2022:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, we had $13.8 million and $30.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The VIE we consolidate did not maintain any cash and cash equivalents at either April 2, 2023 or April 3, 2022.
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 to and are affected by, changes in the timing and volume of activities performed. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.1 million during the first three months of 2023, a decrease of $0.3 million from $10.8 million of cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2022. The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2023 was driven primarily by an increase in our accounts receivable, net, and decreases in our accounts payable and deferred revenue during the period.
Investing Activities
Capital expenditures comprise a significant use of our capital resources. These investments are intended to enable revenue growth in new and expanding markets, help us meet product demand and increase our manufacturing efficiencies and capacity.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.1 million during the first three months of 2023, a decrease of $1.8 million from $4.8 million during the first three months of 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2023 reflects decreased capital spending on property and equipment compared to the same period in 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million during the first three months of 2023, a decrease of $11.2 million from net cash provided by financing activities of $9.1 million during the first three months of 2022. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2023 was primarily driven by the net pay downs of our Revolver, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of our common stock under our ATM Program and employee stock purchase program.
Indebtedness
Sale Leaseback Transaction
On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to Oxbow Realty, LLC, or Oxbow Realty, an entity controlled by our principal stockholder for $39.0 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 stockholder 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, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC ("Siena"). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $100 million with scheduled maturity date of December 28, 2025 (the "Revolver"). The Company incurred $4.3 million of debt issuance costs, which will be
27
Table of Contents
amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Revolver. As of April 2, 2023, we had borrowings of $56.1 million under the Revolver.
Borrowing under the Loan Agreement is limited by a borrowing base of specified advance rates applicable to billed accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, subject to various conditions, limits and any availability block as provided in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for borrowing base sublimits applicable to each of unbilled accounts receivable and equipment. Under certain circumstances, Siena may from time to time establish and revise reserves against the borrowing base and/or the maximum revolving facility amount.
Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate that depends upon the type of borrowing, whether a term secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) loan or base rate loan, plus the applicable margin. The term SOFR loan rate is a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a tenor of one month on the applicable day, subject to a minimum of 2.5% per annum. The base rate is the greatest of the prime rate, the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and 7.0% per annum. The applicable margin is an applicable percentage based on the fix charged coverage ratio that ranges from 5.25% to 6.25% per annum for term SOFR loans and ranges from 4.25% to 5.25% per annum for base rate loans.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other covenants and conditions. Subject to certain cure rights, the Loan Agreement requires $10 million in minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, prohibits unfunded capital expenditures in excess of $15 million calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, and requires a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a trailing 12 month basis, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 if our liquidity is less than $15 million. In addition, the Loan Agreement places certain restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), to create liens or other encumbrances (other than liens relating to permitted indebtedness), to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to our stockholders. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Loan Agreement as of April 2, 2023.
Due to a lockbox clause in the Loan Agreement, the outstanding loan balance is required to be serviced with working capital, and the debt is classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Contractual Obligations
There were no significant changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Material Cash Requirements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
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 required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.
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
In connection with preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes are relevant at the time we prepared 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.
28
Table of Contents
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, share-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, except as set forth below.
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 financial statements 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 SkyWater Florida start-up costs and net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
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 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.

Since depreciation and interest expense are excluded from net loss in our adjusted EBITDA financial measure, we also exclude the net income attributable to the VIE.
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 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 Securities and Exchange Commissions’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 April 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
30
Table of Contents
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 Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As of April 3, 2022, we have material weaknesses in the Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Control Activities components of the COSO framework. As an emerging growth company, we have limited accounting and finance resources. We continue to implement policies, procedures, and internal controls to improve our control environment and risk assessment and we have hired certain employees that have had a limited period of time in their roles. The material weakness in Control Activities has resulted in deficiencies in the design and implementation of controls, that individually, or in the aggregate, were considered a material weakness in certain processes, including financial reporting and administration of accounting information technology primarily related to our inventory and time recording systems that impact revenue recording, as well as the operation of our controls in the expenditures process. These material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures in the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 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 developed a remediation plan focused on the hiring and training of accounting and finance resources with the appropriate background and experiences, including the hiring of a corporate controller or other senior accounting position, and the design and implementation of controls in the financial reporting, administration of accounting information technology, and expenditures processes.
Prior to the filing of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we hired a corporate controller and started remediating certain deficiencies in our administration of accounting information technology process.
While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation plan is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period. The actions 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 plan and evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Until these weaknesses are remediated, we will continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than our remediation efforts discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factor
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, except for the risk factors set forth below.
Recent events affecting the financial services industry could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The recent closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corporation, as well as acquisitions of Credit Suisse and First Republic Bank at regulators’ behest, have created bank-specific and broader financial institution
31
Table of Contents
liquidity risks and concerns. While we did not have deposits at any of these institutions, uncertainty remains over potential impacts of such bank closures and acquisitions on the financial markets and broader global economy, and our business, our customers and suppliers, and/or our industry as a whole may be adversely impacted in ways that we cannot predict at this time.
If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, our ability to access our existing cash and cash equivalents may be threatened. In addition, if our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds, such parties' ability to pay or perform their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Moreover, continued volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets could affect our ability to obtain future financing on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
