SkyWater Technology Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

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

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 8, 2024 — SkyWater Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2024 ended March 31, 2024.

Financial Highlights for Q1 2024:

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

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

Recent Business Highlights:

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