(“SkyWater,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) believes 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.

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:

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 the 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 expectations or to 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,” “it,” or “its”), is a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from its fabrication facilities, or fabs, in Minnesota and Texas and advanced packaging services from its facility in Florida. SkyWater’s technology-as-a-service model leverages a foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property with its customers that enables disruptive concepts through its Advanced Technology Services (“ATS”) for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits (“ICs”)) and related micro and nanotechnology applications. In addition to these differentiated technology development services, SkyWater supports customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through its Wafer Services.
SkyWater is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Spansion LLC (Spansion”), an affiliate of Infineon Technologies AG (“Infinion”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Spansion Fab 25, LLC (“Fab 25”), a limited liability company that received, pursuant to a pre-closing restructuring, substantially all of the property, plant and equipment and employees and certain other assets and liabilities related to Infineon’s 200 mm fab in Austin, Texas (the “Transaction”). On June 30, 2025 the Company executed an amendment to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and completed the Transaction. The Company financed the purchase price for the Transaction through debt financing. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of Fab 25 from the date of acquisition forward. See Note 4 - Acquisitions for further discussion.
Reportable Segment Information
Reportable segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. As a result of the acquisition of Fab 25, the Company now operates as two distinct reportable segments, which are Legacy SkyWater and SkyWater Texas. See Note 13 - Reportable Segment and Geographic Information for segment and geography-specific disclosures.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 28, 2025, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, 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 annual consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with SkyWater’s annual consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of December 29, 2024 and for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, including normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 28, 2025 and its consolidated results of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
The consolidated results of operations for the three- and nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025, or for any other interim period, or for any other future fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), Fab 25 and Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which SkyWater is the primary beneficiary and an affiliate of the Company’s principal shareholder. The
SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of Fab 25 from the date of acquisition forward. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Cash Requirements
The accompanying interim 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- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025, the Company incurred net income attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $144,013 and $126,690, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, the Company incurred net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $1,512 and $(6,114), respectively. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30,895 and $18,844, respectively.
SkyWater’s ability to execute its operating strategy is dependent on its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through the Revolver (as defined in Note 7 – Debt), and other sources of financing. The current business plans indicate that the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to continue its operations and maintain compliance with financial covenants for the next twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. As a result of amendments made on June 30, 2025, the Revolver matures on June 30, 2030 and provides for a maximum revolving facility amount of $350,000. Based upon SkyWater’s operational forecasts, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and available borrowings on the Revolver, management believes SkyWater will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim 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 as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods then ended. 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 Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the reporting periods determined using the treasury-stock method. Because the Company reported a net loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024, 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. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 495,493 and 281,846 included in the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. For the three-month period ended September 29, 2024 there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 117,000 included in the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025, there were anti-dilutive restricted stock units and stock options totaling 577,799 and 1,036,159, respectively, excluded from the computation of dilutive weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 1,637,000 and 1,416,000, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Immaterial Revisions of Prior Period Financial Information
During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, the Company identified an error in the previously issued interim financial statements of the Company for the period ended September 29, 2024 related to the overstatement of certain assets of Oxbow Realty as well as contributions received by that entity. The Company has determined that the error was immaterial to all impacted periods and has corrected the impacted periods as an immaterial correction of an error. As a result, the Company revised the interim financial information for the applicable period in this interim filing. As a result of this immaterial correction of an error, the Company has revised and reduced the contributions from noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders equity and reduced the purchases of property and equipment and contributions from noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow by $6,633 in this interim filing for the three and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024.
In 2025, the Company identified errors related to the overbilling of ATS development revenues that cumulatively totaled $1,970 for fiscal years preceding January 1, 2024. As a result, the Company corrected the consolidated balance sheet and statement of shareholders’ equity as of January 1, 2024 to increase the accumulated deficit and decrease accounts receivable by $1,970. The correction also increased the accumulated deficit and decreased accounts receivable by the same amount as of December 29, 2024. The Company has evaluated the materiality of these errors and concluded it was not material to the consolidated financial statements in any of the previous fiscal years.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in this update improve existing income tax disclosures, notably with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures.

The amendments in this update introduce a more principles-based framework to the capitalization of software intended for internal use focused on management’s authorization and commitment to fund a development project and the probability of whether the project will be completed and used to for its intended function. The amendment in ASU 2025-06 will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended January 2, 2029. SkyWater is currently evaluating whether it will adopt the practical expedient introduced by ASU 2025-06.
Significant Accounting Policies
The annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 include discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not make any significant changes to its accounting policies and estimates during the three- and nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 except for the accounting policy set forth below.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), recognizing identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The total purchase consideration transferred, including cash paid, equity issued, contingent payments and other forms of consideration is also measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. When the total consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired, the excess is recorded as goodwill. When the total consideration transferred is less than the fair value of net assets acquired, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.
The estimation of fair values in a business combination involves significant judgment. The Company uses a variety of valuation techniques many of which are complex, including discounted cash flow techniques, market comparisons, and cost approaches. These valuations depend on valuation inputs, including many assumptions such as discount rates, projected earnings, useful lives, and other economic factors that management must estimate.
If complete information is not available at the time of acquisition, provisional estimates are used and may be adjusted during a measurement period of up to one year, based on information that existed as of the acquisition date. If new information becomes available during the measurement period, provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively. However, once the measurement period ends, any subsequent changes to fair value estimates are recognized in current-period earnings.

Note 4 - Acquisitions
2025 Acquisition
On June 30, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company executed an amendment to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Spansion and completed its acquisition of Fab 25, a newly formed limited liability company that received, pursuant to a pre-closing restructuring, substantially all of the property, plant and equipment, employees, and certain other assets and liabilities related to Infineon’s 200 mm fab in Austin, Texas. The purchase price for the Transaction was $206,466. The Transaction was financed through proceeds received from the execution of an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”) and the other lenders party thereto on June 30, 2025.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a multi-year supply agreement with certain of Infineon’s subsidiaries under a take-or-pay arrangement for the first four-year period following the closing of the Transaction (the “Supply Agreement”). The Supply Agreement included an off-market component estimated at a fair value of $120,000 which was included in the purchase price for the Transaction. In addition, as part of the Transaction, the Company entered into a multi-year lease agreement to lease a portion of the acquired office space at the Austin, Texas facility back to Infineon for the first four-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The lease agreement provides for lease payments of $1,200 annually through June 2029, after which time the agreement can be extended with lease payments adjusted based on fair market value escalators.
The acquisition of Fab 25 significantly expands SkyWater’s footprint domestically and will enable the Company to grow its services across a broader base of industrial, automotive, and defense customers in the future.
The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the Closing Date. The excess of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the estimated fair value of the total purchase consideration exchanged was recognized as a bargain purchase gain pursuant to Topic 805 in the amount of $110,790. The bargain purchase gain was the result of Infineon’s strategic decision to divest Fab 25 in exchange for the favorable wafer production pricing included in the Supply Agreement and its ability to maintain security of supply for semiconductors used in its products from a trusted partner.
The fair value of property and equipment was estimated using a combination of the cost and market approaches, considering replacement cost new, comparable market transactions, and adjustments for physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence. Valuations were performed using primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The estimates are based on management-provided information, site inspections, and published valuation indices, and assume the assets are free from liens or restrictions. Most assets were valued under an in-exchange premise, rather than an in-use premise, given the significant bargain purchase gain recognized on the Transaction. The fair value of off-market component for multi-year supply agreement was measured using an income-based approach. Significant assumptions in the valuation included projected capacity utilization levels, benchmark pricing for comparable semiconductor foundry arrangements and a discount rate reflective of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The fair values rely on Level 3 inputs within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation, including the consideration exchanged and the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| Cash consideration paid at closing, net of cash consideration refunded based on settlement of net working capital provisions in the purchase agreement | | $ | 86,466 | |
| Estimated fair value of off-market component of multi-year supply agreement | | 120,000 | |
| Total purchase consideration exchanged | | 206,466 | |
| Assets acquired | | |
| Contract assets, net of allowance for credit losses | | 24,809 | |
| Inventory | | 6,681 | |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | | 234 | |
| Property and equipment, including assets subject to finance leases | | 361,424 | |
| Other assets | | 10,732 | |
| Total assets acquired | | 403,880 | |
| Liabilities assumed | | |
| Accounts payables | | 23,507 | |
| Accrued expenses | | 7,641 | |
| Deferred income tax liability, net | | 37,860 | |
| Other long-term liabilities | | 17,616 | |
| Total liabilities assumed | | 86,624 | |
| Net assets acquired | | 317,256 | |
| Bargain purchase gain | | $ | 110,790 | |
The above purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustment. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the Company’s current estimates and are subject to change as additional information existing as of the Closing Date becomes available and is evaluated. Specifically, the Company is continuing to assess the values assigned to certain working capital accounts, property and equipment, and the off-market component of the Supply Agreement included in the purchase consideration exchanged. Additionally, the Company’s recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from differences between the assigned fair values and the tax bases of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is also preliminary. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation may occur as these analyses are finalized. Such adjustments, if any, could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including the amount of the bargain purchase gain recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025. The Company expects to complete its purchase accounting and related tax assessments within the one-year measurement period allowed under Topic 805.
Pro Forma Results
Fab 25 has been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the Closing Date. Fab 25 contributed revenue of $86,614 and net income of $118,696, inclusive of the bargain purchase gain realized as a result of the transaction of $110,790 to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025. The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information for three-month period ended September 29, 2024, nine-month period ended September 29, 2024, and nine-month period ended June 29, 2025, as if the Transaction had been completed on January 1, 2024. As the Fab 25 results have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date, the pro forma results for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 include the Fab 25 standalone financial results for the six-month fiscal period ended June 29, 2025. The amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and are based upon currently available information. The pro forma results include certain nonrecurring adjustments that were directly related to the business combination, including business transaction costs.
The unaudited pro-forma information for all periods presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from acquisition:

Deferred Contract Costs
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental cost of obtaining a contract with a customer (i.e., deferred contract costs) when costs are considered recoverable and the duration of the contract is in excess of one year. Deferred contract costs are amortized as the related revenue is recognized. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $0 for each of the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024. The Company recognized amortization of deferred contract costs totaling $0 and $172 for the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. There were no deferred contract costs capitalized as of September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
Contract Assets
Contract assets represent SkyWater’s rights to payments for services it has transferred to its customers, but has not yet billed to its customers. Contract assets were $51,326 and $20,890 at September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and are presented net of allowances for expected credit losses of $18 and $42, respectively.
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities principally consist of deferred revenue which represents payments from customers for which performance obligations have not yet been satisfied and deferred lease revenue which represents prepayments on a leasing arrangement in which the Company serves as lessor. In some instances, cash may be received, or payment may be contractually due by a customer before the related revenue is recognized. The contract liabilities and other significant components of contract liabilities at September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 are as follows:

(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
(1)The Company recorded a $120,000 contract liability in purchase accounting for the acquisition of Fab 25 to recognize the fair value of the off-market component of the Supply Agreement. Related revenue for this contract liability is recognized as the Company fulfills its wafer production obligations over the four-year term of the Supply Agreement. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025, this includes $8,571 of revenue recognized from the off-market component of Supply Agreement recorded as part of purchase accounting.
Remaining Performance Obligations
At September 28, 2025, the Company had $127,599 of remaining performance obligations that had not been fully satisfied on contracts with original expected durations of one year or more, which were primarily related to ATS development and tools revenue contracts. The Company expects to recognize those revenues as it satisfies its performance obligations, which is not expected to exceed 4 years.
The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Further, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between when it transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
SkyWater as the Lessor
In March 2020, SkyWater executed a contract with a customer that includes an operating lease for the right to use a specified portion of the Company’s Minnesota facility to produce wafers using the customer’s equipment. The contractual amount that relates to revenue from an operating lease was $21,000, and is being recognized over the estimated lease term of 4.5 years. The total amount was prepaid by the customer and recorded as deferred revenue.
In June 2025, as part of the Transaction, the Company entered into a multi-year lease agreement to lease a portion of the acquired office space at the Austin, Texas facility back to Infineon for the first four-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The Company recognized lease revenue of $395 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 related to this lease.

| Total long-term debt, excluding current portion | $ | 34,262 | | | $ | 34,704 | |
(1)Tool financing advance payments represent proceeds received from equipment lenders prior to the Company placing the tools into service. When the tools are placed into service, financing agreements are executed to repay the equipment lenders the financed acquisition cost of the tools, and any advance payments received from the equipment lenders are converted to tool financing loans and classified as long-term debt in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Tool financings are often accounted for as failed sale and leasebacks.
Revolver
On December 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Siena, which was initially modified on November 19, 2024 upon execution of an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. On June 30, 2025, this lending arrangement was further modified in advance of the acquisition of Fab 25 when the Company entered into the Amended Loan Agreement with Siena as agent and the other lenders party thereto, which replaced the prior Loan and Security Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of up to $350,000 with a scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2030 (the “Revolver”). The outstanding balance of the Revolver was $155,040 as of September 28, 2025 at an interest rate of 8.6%. Due to a lockbox clause in the Amended Loan Agreement, the outstanding loan balance is required to be serviced with working capital, and the debt is classified as current on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company may be required to prepay the unpaid principal balance of the loans following specified prepayment events in the amount of 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company or any borrower with respect to such prepayment event. Borrowing under the Revolver 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 and limits as provided in the Amended Loan Agreement. The remaining availability under the Revolver was $64,960 as of September 28, 2025. As of September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants of the Amended Loan Agreement.
VIE Financing
On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, the Company’s consolidated VIE entered into a loan agreement for $39,000 (the “VIE Financing”) to finance the acquisition of the building and land of the SkyWater Minnesota facility (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions and Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity). The VIE Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $194 over 10 years, with the remaining balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. The interest rate under the VIE Financing is fixed at 3.44%. The VIE Financing is guaranteed by Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”), who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty. The VIE financing is not subject to financial debt default covenants.
The terms of the VIE Financing include provisions that grant the lender several protective rights when certain triggering events defined in the loan agreement occur, including events tied to SkyWater’s occupancy of the SkyWater Minnesota facility and SkyWater’s financial performance. The occurrence of a triggering event does not represent a default event as per the loan agreement, nor does it result in the VIE Financing becoming callable, rather the protective rights become enforceable by the lender. As defined in the loan agreement, a triggering event occurred beginning in the three-month period ended January 1,
SKYWATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited in thousands, except share and per share data)
2023 based on the level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, as defined in the loan agreement, reported by SkyWater historically. Pursuant to its protective rights, the lender retained in a restricted account amounts paid by SkyWater to Oxbow Realty that were in excess of the scheduled debt payments paid by Oxbow Realty to the lender. The triggering event was cured during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and the funds held in the restricted account were remitted back to Oxbow Realty. No triggering events as defined in the loan agreement existed as of September 28, 2025.
The VIE Financing is secured by a security interest in the land and building which was the subject of the sale-leaseback transaction (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions). The Company and Oxbow Realty, the Company’s VIE, incurred third-party transaction costs of $3,487 and $65, respectively, which have been capitalized as debt issuance costs, presented as a reduction of the outstanding loan balance, and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the remaining maturity of the VIE Financing.
Maturities
Future principal payments of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:

| Remainder of 2025 | $ | 1,651 | |

Note 8 - Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 differ from its 21% U.S. statutory corporate tax rate due to the impacts of state income taxes, the bargain purchase gain recognized on the acquisition of Fab 25, permanent tax differences, vesting of restricted stock units, and changes in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The effective 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 rates for the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 were (28.4)% and 3.4%, respectively, and (31.9)% and (0.2)% for the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.
The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (“OBBB”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. OBBB contains significant tax law changes with various effective dates affecting business taxpayers. Among the tax law changes were changes increasing the Section 48D refundable tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing facilities from 25% to 35% for property placed in service after 2025. Additionally, there were provisions that would impact the Company related to the timing of certain tax deductions including depreciation expense, R&D expenditures, and interest expense. The Company implemented the tax law changes effective with the enactment of OBBB on July 4, 2025; there were no material impacts in the current fiscal quarter upon implementation of OBBB.
On June 30, 2025, the Company acquired Fab 25 that was accounted for as a business combination and preliminarily recognized net deferred tax liabilities of $37,860 in purchase accounting. The Company evaluated the valuation allowance position for 2025 and considered the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, the change in facts and circumstances related to the financial earnings, change to cumulative three-year income, utilization of existing attributes, and forecasted financial income in the following fiscal years to determine the appropriate valuation allowance. The results of the evaluation was a release of valuation allowance and corresponding tax benefit of $27,486 in the quarter.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Asserted Claims
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and subject to other asserted claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the results of litigation and asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the resolution of these ordinary-course matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Even if any particular litigation is resolved in a manner that is favorable to the Company’s interests, such litigation can have a negative impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources from its business, and other factors. There were no material litigation-related or other asserted claim contingencies recognized at either September 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024.
Capital Expenditures
The Company has various contracts outstanding with third parties which primarily relate to semiconductor tool purchases and installation. The Company has $24,465 and $24,979 of contractual commitments outstanding as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, that it expects to be paid in the next twelve months using cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Center for NeoVation
On January 25, 2021 the Company 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 doing business as BRIDG (“BRIDG”), to lease and operate the Center for NeoVation (the “CfN”), a semiconductor research and development and manufacturing facility in Kissimmee, Florida. Under the CfN Lease, the Company agrees to bring the plant to full production capacity within five years, and then to operate the plant at full capacity for an additional 15 years. At the end of the lease, SkyWater will take ownership of the facility. The Company is responsible for taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, operation of the assets, and making capital investments in the facility to bring the facility to its full production capacity. Investments and costs required to bring the facility to its full capacity will be substantial. The Company may terminate the TED Agreement and CfN Lease with 18 months’ notice. In the event the Company terminates the agreements, it is required to continue to operate the CfN until the earlier of either a replacement operator is found, or the 18-month notice period expires, and it may be required to make a payment of up to $15,000 to Osceola upon termination.
As part of entering into the TED Agreement, the Company agreed to operate the advanced wastewater treatment facility (“AWT Facility”), a separate building located on the same leased premise as the CfN and subject to the CfN Lease. The AWT Facility was financed in substantial part by funds provided by the Tohopekaliga Water Authority (“TWA”) to house the acid waste neutralization, pH adjustment, and reverse osmosis water treatment systems. In connection with entering into the CfN Lease, the Company agreed that development of the CfN requires the payment of water, wastewater, and reuse water capacity charges imposed by TWA monthly over the remaining period of six years. The Company also agreed that TWA shall be entitled to recover the capital contribution of TWA for construction of the AWT Facility through a capital reimbursement surcharge monthly over the remaining period of six years. As of September 28, 2025, the Company expects future payments on these commitments of approximately $3,600 which the Company expects will be paid in full by the first quarter of 2028.
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 and purchase, installation, and qualification of equipment in the CfN. In February 2023, SkyWater committed to a 20% matching share contribution 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. As of September 28, 2025, SkyWater is currently obligated to pay $1,000 in the subsequent quarter based upon development activity that has occurred and made payments of $2,000 during the third quarter of 2025.

Note 11 - Related Party Transactions
In August 2022, SkyWater entered into a support letter with Oxbow Industries 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 2024, the agreement was amended to extend the term through March 18, 2026. No amounts have been provided to the Company under this agreement.
In August 2023, SkyWater entered into a consulting agreement with Oxbow Industries pursuant to which an employee of Oxbow Industries provides certain consulting services to the Company, including services where the Oxbow Industries employee negotiated and brokered the acquisition of Fab 25. In October 2025 this consulting agreement was terminated. For the three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, expense (benefit) associated with this agreement totaled $(127) and $490, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, expense associated with this agreement totaled $289 and $757, respectively.
Sale-Leaseback Transaction
On September 29, 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to sell the land and building of its Bloomington, Minnesota facility to Oxbow Realty. In the fourth quarter of 2020, SkyWater entered into an agreement to lease the land and building from Oxbow Realty for initial payments of $394 per month over 20 years. The monthly payments are subject to a 2% increase each year during the term of the lease. Since September 29, 2024, the monthly rental payment to Oxbow Realty has been $426. The Company is also required to make certain customary payments constituting “additional rent,” which relate to monthly leasing and replacement reserves, insurance, and tax payments in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. Future minimum lease commitments to Oxbow Realty as of September 28, 2025 were as follows (such amounts are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements due to the consolidation of Oxbow Realty, see Note 12 – Variable Interest Entity).

Note 12 - Variable Interest Entity
Oxbow Realty was established for the purpose of holding real estate and facilitating real estate transactions on behalf of Oxbow Industries. This included facilitating the purchase of the land and building of SkyWater’s Minnesota facility with proceeds from a bank loan (see Note 7 – Debt) and managing the leaseback of the land and building to SkyWater (see Note 11 – Related Party Transactions). Management determined that Oxbow Realty meets the definition of a VIE under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidations” (“Topic 810”), because it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities. Furthermore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Oxbow Realty as it has the power over those activities that most significantly affect Oxbow Realty’s economic performance, mainly activities focused on the operation and maintenance of the Minnesota facility. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Oxbow Realty pursuant to Topic 810, eliminating any transactions between the Company and Oxbow Realty, and recording a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Oxbow Realty attributable to parties other than the Company’s common stock shareholders. 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 the Company as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024. The assets and liabilities are presented prior to the elimination of intercompany balances.

Note 13 - Reportable Segment and Geographic Information
Prior to the completion of the Fab 25 acquisition, the Company operated as a single reportable segment which reflected how the Company managed its business and the nature of its services. Following the Fab 25 acquisition, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and now operates as two distinct reportable segments, Legacy SkyWater and the SkyWater Texas. This determination aligns with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) currently assesses segment operating performance and allocates resources. Prior to the acquisition, the CODM utilized net earnings as the primary measure of segment profit or loss. Subsequent to the completion of the Fab 25 acquisition, net earnings

Overview
We are a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from our fabrication facilities, or fab, in Minnesota and Texas, and advanced packaging services from our Florida facility. Our recently acquired Texas fab expands our wafer manufacturing capacity and is primarily dedicated to serving the automotive industry through high-reliability, volume wafer production.
Our Technology-as-a-Service model leverages a foundation of proprietary technology, engineering know-how capabilities, and microelectronics manufacturing capacity to co-develop process technology intellectual property (“IP”) with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services (“ATS”) for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits (“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, we believe our status as a publicly-traded, U.S.-based, U.S. headquartered pure-play technology foundry with Defense Microelectronics Activity Category 1A Trusted Accreditation from the U.S. Department of Defense positions us well to provide distinct, competitive advantages to our customers. These advantages include the benefits of enhanced IP security and secure 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 compute, (2) aerospace and defense, (3) automotive, (4) bio-health, and (5) industrial. 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 ATS model, we specialize in co-creating advanced solutions with our customers that directly serve our end markets, such as infrared imaging, superconducting ICs for quantum computing and sensing, Rad-hard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (“CMOS”), integrated photonics, microelectromechanical systems (“MEMS”), technologies for biomedical and imaging applications, and advanced packaging. Our Wafer Services business includes the manufacture of silicon-based analog and mixed-signal ICs across our Minnesota and Texas fabs. Our focus on the differentiated analog and CMOS markets supports long product life-cycles and requirements that value performance over cost-efficiencies, and leverages our portfolio IP.
Our operations are comprised of two reportable segments:
•Legacy SkyWater: A pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from its fabrication facility in Bloomington, Minnesota and advanced packaging services from its Kissimmee Florida facility. Legacy SkyWater provides ATS and Wafer Services product offerings.
•SkyWater Texas: A high-volume manufacturer that offers manufacturing services from its fabrication facility in Austin, Texas. SkyWater Texas provides Wafer Services product offerings focused on 200 mm semiconductor fabrication, copper processing, high-voltage technology services and 65 nm node infrastructure support.
Factors and Trends Affecting our Business and Results of Operations
The following trends and uncertainties either affected our financial performance during the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 or are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future.
•Macroeconomic and competitive conditions, including cyclicality and consolidation, as well as government funding in semiconductor technology and manufacturing, create unique challenges and opportunities for the semiconductor industry and SkyWater.
•Changes in trade policies, including the imposition of or increase in tariffs and changes to existing trade agreements, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
•In August 2022, the U.S. enacted the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 (the “CHIPS Act”) pursuant to 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 CHIPS Act authorizes the U.S. Department of Commerce to enable execution of awards under the CHIPS Act 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. In December 2023, we submitted an application to the CHIPS Program Office of the U.S. Department of Commerce for funding through the CHIPS Act for modernization and equipment upgrades to enhance production at our Minnesota facility. In December 2024, we signed a preliminary memorandum of terms that provides for up to $16 million pursuant to the CHIPS Act, which is in addition to $19 million in incentives from the State of Minnesota. While we previously expected federal funding under the CHIPS Act to be received in 2026 and state incentives to be received in the fourth quarter of 2025, we can no longer predict when such funding will be received as a result of the U.S. government shutdown.
•We project customer-funded capital investment to be a significant driver of the success of our business model, as we expect customers to invest in our capabilities and enable us to develop technology platforms that will drive our future growth.
•Our overall level of indebtedness from our revolving credit agreement, which we refer to as the Revolver (as defined below and in Note 7 – Debt), financing arising from the sale and leaseback of the land and building of our Minnesota facility, which we refer to as the VIE Financing, financing arrangements with lenders to finance the purchase of manufacturing tools and other equipment, which we refer to as the Tool Financing Loans, and the corresponding interest rates charged to us by our lenders, are key components of maintaining capital funding that allow us to continue to grow our business.
Acquisition
On June 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Spansion Fab 25, LLC (“Fab 25”) a newly formed limited liability company that received, pursuant to a pre-closing restructuring, substantially all of the property, plant and equipment, employees and certain other assets and liabilities related to Infineon Technologies AG’s (“Infineon”) 200 mm fab in Austin, Texas (the “Transaction”), pursuant to the amended Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, with Spansion LLC (“Spansion”), an affiliate of Infineon. The Transaction is expected to enhance SkyWater’s capabilities in foundational semiconductor manufacturing and strengthen its strategic position within North America’s semiconductor ecosystem.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a multi-year supply agreement with certain of Infineon’s subsidiaries under a take-or-pay arrangement for the first four-year period following the closing of the Transaction (the “Supply Agreement”). The Supply Agreement included an off-market component estimated at a fair value of $120.0 million which was included in the purchase price for the Transaction.
The total purchase consideration exchanged on the Transaction was $206.5 million, consisting of the $120.0 million fair value of the off-market component of the Supply Agreement and net cash payments of $86.5 million. Net cash paid consisted of the base purchase price of $73.0 million paid at closing, plus $19.9 million paid at closing for estimated working capital, offset by a return of cash of $6.4 million from Spansion during third quarter 2025 based on the final working capital. The Transaction was financed through proceeds received from the execution of an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”) and the other lenders party thereto on June 30, 2025.
Financial Performance Metrics
Our senior management team regularly reviews certain key financial performance metrics within our business, including:
•Revenue and gross profit;

| Total | $ | 150,741 | | | $ | 93,817 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Advanced Technology Services (“ATS”) development revenue decreased $2.2 million, in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by an $8.1 million reduction in revenue in our aerospace and defense markets, driven by recent U.S. government policy shifts and changes in defense spending priorities.
These changes, coupled with delayed contract awards, have reduced program funding and slowed customer program development. These declines were partially offset by a $5.1 million year-over-year growth in the Company’s advanced compute technology market segment, which remains a key strategic growth driver. Additional contributors included a $0.2 million decrease in revenue for our medical end market, offset by a $0.7 million increase in our consumer and industrial end markets.
Tools revenue decreased $27.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 driven by completion of several investment efforts by our customers to acquire tools that advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs.
SkyWater Texas wafer services revenue increased $86.6 million as a result of the Fab 25 acquisition. Of this amount, $8.6 million represents non-cash purchase accounting adjustments associated with the market supply agreement.
Legacy SkyWater wafer services revenue decreased by $0.5 million, primarily due to a $1.4 million decline in demand from a key automotive customer facing oversupply challenges in its consumer channel. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in revenue from an aerospace and defense customer transition from ATS to Wafer Services and a $0.3 million increase from a consumer customer.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased $40.9 million, or 56%, in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $69.3 million higher cost of sales resulting from the inclusion of Fab 25 operations following the acquisition. This increase was partially offset by a $26.7 million decrease in cost of tool revenue based on delivery of several tools to our customers to advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs.
Legacy SkyWater direct expenses increased by $0.8 million overall. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded an $8.0 million loss reserve and thereby accelerated the recognition of charges on a significant customer’s program as we estimated the program would incur future losses due to anticipated cost increases to complete and deliver the program technical requirements. By the end of the second quarter of 2024, $1.9 million of this loss reserve was released as estimated costs were actually incurred, leaving a $6.1 million remaining reserve. In the third quarter of 2024, we amended the customer contract, reducing the scope of the program and thereby reducing our estimated costs to complete the program. As a result of amending the contract, the program was projected to return to profitability and we released the remaining $6.1 million loss reserve into income. Additionally, cost of sales associated with a select group of aerospace and defense customers declined by $4.2 million as current funding limits were reached and development and program spend slowed. Other drivers include decreased customer activities resulted in $0.5 million more of engineer labor and direct costs being directed towards internal R&D efforts quarter-over-quarter, as well as a $0.4 million decline in masks, reticles, and pellicles spend as less customers are in early stages of development compared to last year.
Legacy SkyWater labor costs decreased by $2.7 million, driven by a $2.9 million decrease in bonus expense as a result of a third-quarter 2025 reversal of bonus accruals with performance results falling below bonus plan targets. Payroll expenses increased by $1.1 million primarily due to greater reliance on temporary employees and contractors to support the acquisition and integration of Fab 25.
Research and development expense
Research and development expense increased $0.9 million or 27%, in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $0.5 million of incremental increases in engineering direct spend focused on internal R&D platform development activities. Additionally, labor increased $0.2 million to support these efforts.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $11.9 million or 98%, in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $6.0 million of additional costs related to the Fab 25 acquisition. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2025 we incurred $3.1 million in one-time transition and integration expenses
associated with Fab 25, $1.4 million of expenses associated with the transition service agreement (“TSA”) with Infineon, and $1.3 million of acquisition-related expenses needed to support the ongoing operations of Fab-25.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $3.3 million or 168%, in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by significantly higher amounts outstanding on our revolving lending facility, as well as $0.2 million of incremental interest specific to Fab 25 operations.
Bargain Purchase Gain
In conjunction with the Fab 25 acquisition, we recognized a $110.8 million bargain purchase gain, representing the excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets over the purchase consideration.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased by $31.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company concluded that the effects of the acquisition of Fab 25 would result in the realization of nearly all its deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company released a significant portion of the valuation allowance recorded against those assets and recognized $27.5 million of discrete tax benefit.
Net Income Attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc.
Net income attributable to SkyWater Technology increased $142.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was the result of the net impacts of the changes described above related to the components of our results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased $14.8 million, or 135%, in the third quarter of 2025 when compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was a result of continued expansion within the advanced compute end market and the addition of Fab 25, partially offset by headwinds in the ATS business resulting from U.S. government policy impacts on defense spending and related funding. For a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA as well as reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the section below entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

| Total | $ | 271,100 | | | $ | 266,782 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
ATS development revenue decreased by $19.9 million million largely due to a $28.6 million reduction in revenue in our aerospace and defense end market, driven by recent U.S. government policy shifts and changes in defense spending priorities. These changes, coupled with delayed contract awards, have reduced program funding and slowed customer program development. These declines were partially offset by $9.8 million of revenue growth in our advanced compute technology end market. Additional contributors included a $1.5 million decrease of revenue in our medical end market, offset by a $0.5 million increase in revenues for our consumer and industrial end markets.
Tools revenue decreased $59.1 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024 driven by completion of several investment efforts by our customers to acquire tools that advance our capabilities for their ATS development programs.
SkyWater Texas wafer services revenue increased $86.6 million from the Fab 25 acquisition, which expanded our manufacturing capacity. Of this amount, $8.6 million represents non-cash purchase accounting adjustments associated with the market supply agreement.
Legacy SkyWater wafer services revenue decreased by $3.3 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a $7.1 million reduction in sales to our key automotive customer, reflecting lower demand caused by oversupply in the customer product channels. Additionally, a $1.1 million decrease in revenue was the result of reduced production volume for medical customer. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in revenue from an aerospace and defense customer that transitioned from ATS to Wafer Services and a $0.7 million increase from a consumer customer.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue decreased $6.7 million or 3.1%, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $57.9 million reduction in customer-funded tool costs as our customers completed a significant round of investment in tools. These decreases were partially offset by $69.3 million higher cost of sales resulting from the inclusion of Fab 25 operations following the acquisition.
Legacy SkyWater direct expenses declined by $16.3 million overall, primarily driven by $16.9 million lower cost of sales associated with a select group of aerospace and defense customers as current funding limits were reached and development and program spend slowed. Additionally, masks, and reticle spend decreased by $1.7 million as programs matured and early-stage spend on these items decreased. Warranty charges declined by $4.3 million, reflecting the non-recurrence of significant prior year production issues that affected yields for a major automotive customer. These decreases were offset by an increase in capital-adjacent expenses of $6.5 million that was driven by increased repairs, maintenance, and tooling costs to support ongoing production activity and equipment reliability initiatives.
Legacy SkyWater labor costs decreased by $1.0 million driven by a $2.0 million decrease in bonus expense as a result of a third-quarter 2025 reversal of bonus accruals with performance results falling below bonus plan targets. Payroll expenses increased by $1.0 million primarily due to greater reliance on temporary employees and contractors to support the acquisition and integration of Fab 25.
Legacy SkyWater depreciation decreased by $0.8 million, driven by the net effect of routine asset additions and retirements, as well as certain assets becoming fully depreciated during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $17.4 million or 49%, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the $6.0 million contribution from the Fab 25 acquisition. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2025, we incurred $7.1 million in non-recurring transaction and integration expenses and $1.4 million of transaction service agreement expenses to support the ongoing operations of Fab 25.
Other Legacy SkyWater selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million, driven by a $1.2 million increase in the federal portion of the business due to the largely fixed nature of personnel, compliance, and infrastructure costs required to support ongoing government programs, $1.0 million in insurance expense due to higher coverage requirements and premiums associated with the significant increase in full-time employees resulting from the Fab 25 acquisition, $0.6 million temporary labor due to greater reliance for the acquisition, and $0.2 million of other fixed costs in various categories.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $1.9 million or 28%, in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The Increase was primarily driven by significantly higher amounts outstanding on our revolving lending facility, as well as $0.2 million interest from Fab 25.
Bargain Purchase Gain
In conjunction with the Fab 25 acquisition, we recognized a $110.8 million bargain purchase gain, representing the excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets over the purchase consideration.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased by $30.7 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company concluded that the effects of the acquisition of Fab 25 would result in the realization of nearly all its deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company released a significant portion of the valuation allowance recorded against those assets and recognized $27.5 million of discrete tax benefit.
Net Loss Attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc.
Net income attributable to SkyWater Technology increased $132.8 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. The increase was the result of the changes described above related to the components of our results of operations.

These changes, coupled with delayed contract awards, have reduced program funding and slowed production on their programs. These declines were partially offset by $9.8 million growth in the segment’s advanced compute technology end market. Additional contributors included a $1.5 million revenue decrease in the segment’s medical revenue end market, offset by a $0.5 million increase in revenues for its consumer and industrial end market.
Legacy SkyWater Wafer Services revenue declined by $3.3 million primarily driven by a $7.1 million reduction in sales for the segment’s key automotive customer, reflecting lower demand caused by oversupply issues in the customer’s product channels. Additionally, a $1.1 million decrease resulted from reduced volume in the segment’s medical end markets. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in revenue from an aerospace and defense customer who transitioned from ATS to Wafer Services and a $0.7 million increase from a consumer customer.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased for the third quarter ended September 28, 2025, as compared to the third quarter ended September 29, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 29.6% for the third quarter ended September 28, 2025, compared to 21.6% for the third quarter ended September 29, 2024, driven primarily by the decreases in revenues, as well as a $26.7 million reduction in costs of tools based on the timing of completed tool projects. Other significant drivers were a $6.1 million release of a contract loss reserve in the prior year as the program returned to expected profitability upon executing a contract modification that reduced program scope, offset by a $4.2 million decline in a select group of aerospace and defense customer cost of goods sold as direct spend on the programs slowed with the certainties tied to government funding. Additional changes include decreased customer activities resulted in $0.5 million more of engineer labor and direct costs being directed towards internal R&D efforts quarter-over-quarter, as well as a $0.4 million decline in masks, reticles, and pellicles spend as less customers are in early stages of development compared to last year, as well as a $1.1 million increase in payroll expenses arising from the close and integration of the Fab 25 acquisition, offset by $2.9 million reduction in bonus expense due to the reversal of bonus accruals as expected performance was lower than prior targeted.
Gross profit decreased for the first nine months ended September 28, 2025, as compared to the first nine months ended September 29, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues increased to 23.9% for the first nine months ended September 28, 2025, compared to 18.9% for the first nine months ended September 29, 2024, driven primarily by decreases in revenues, as well as a $61.1 million reduction in customer-funded tool costs based on the timing of completing various customer tool projects and a $16.9 million reduction in cost of sales associated with a select group of aerospace and defense customers as direct spend and program development slowed with the uncertainties tied to government funding of these customers’ programs. Additional decreases include decreased warranty maintenance $4.3 million as there was not a significant quality event in 2025, decreased spend on masks and reticles of $1.7 million as programs were more mature and program spending shifted to other development activities, and decreased bonus expense of $2.0 million. Offsetting these decreases include an increase in capital-adjacent expenses of $6.5 million that was driven by increased repairs, maintenance, and tooling costs to support ongoing production activity and equipment reliability initiatives, as well as a $1.4 million increase in payroll due to increased reliance on contractors and consultants tied to the close and integration of the Fab 25 acquisition.
Net income
Net income increased to $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net income increased $14.3 million, or 484% from a $3.0 million net loss for first nine months of 2024 to $11.4 million for the first nine months of 2025. The increase was the result of the $29.0 million tax gain recognized in quarter-to-date September 2025, as well as the net impacts of the changes described above related to the components of our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
For the three-months ended September 28, 2025, and fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, the Company incurred net income attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $144.0 million and net losses of $6.8 million, respectively. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $30.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively.
SkyWater’s ability to execute its operating strategy is dependent on its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through the Revolver (as defined in Note 7 – Debt), and other sources of financing. The current business plans indicate that the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to continue its operations and maintain compliance with financial covenants for the next twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. As a result of amendments made on June 30, 2025, the Revolver matures on June 30, 2030 and provides for a maximum revolving facility amount of $350.0 million.
We had $30.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, not including cash held by a VIE that we consolidate, and availability under our Revolver of $65.0 million at September 28, 2025. We are subject to certain liquidity and EBITDA covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement, as outlined in the section below entitled “Indebtedness.”
Open Market Sale Agreement
On September 2, 2022, SkyWater entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC with respect to an at the market offering program (the “ATM Program”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell up to $100.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. During the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, the Company did not sell shares under the ATM Program. From the date of the ATM Program through September 28, 2025, the Company has cumulatively sold 2,516,586 shares at an average sale price of $9.96 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $25.1 million before deducting sales commissions and fees of approximately $1,212. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down the Revolver and fund its operations.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company was authorized to sell an additional $74.9 million in shares under the ATM Program.
Capital Expenditures
For the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, we spent approximately $20.5 million and $11.7 million, respectively, on capital expenditures, including purchases of property, equipment and software. The majority of these capital expenditures relate to improvements at our Minnesota facility and the development of our advanced packaging capabilities at our Center for NeoVation in Florida. We anticipate our cash on hand and the availability under the Revolver will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
We have approximately $24.5 million of contractual commitments relating to various anticipated capital expenditures outstanding at September 28, 2025 that we expect to pay during the remainder of 2025 through cash on hand and operating cash flows.
Working Capital
Historically, we have depended on cash on hand, funds available under our Revolver and, in the future, we may need to depend on additional debt and equity financings to fund our growth 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.
At September 28, 2025, the outstanding balance of our Revolver was $155.0 million, and our remaining availability under the Revolver was $65.0 million.
The following table sets forth general information derived from our interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| First Nine Months Ended |
| September 28, 2025 | | September 29, 2024 |
| | | |
| (in thousands) |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 7,107 | | | $ | 19,739 | |
| Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (106,959) | | | $ | (9,159) | |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $ | 111,903 | | | $ | (8,278) | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, we had $30.9 million and $18.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. A discussion of the change in cash and cash equivalents can be found below.
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, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and contract liabilities, all of which are partially correlated to and impacted by changes in the timing and volume of activities performed in our facilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.1 million during the first nine months of 2025, a decrease of $12.6 million from $19.7 million of cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2024.The decrease in cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2025 was driven primarily by contract liabilities changes and cash outflows specific to Fab 25 operations. Other decreases to operating cash flows were driven primarily by increases in accounts receivable and Company prepaid balances.
Investing Activities
Our investments in capital expenditures 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 $107.0 million during the first nine months of 2025 compared to $9.2 million during the first nine months of 2024 as we continue to invest in our development and manufacturing capabilities and due to the acquisition of Fab 25. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2025 reflects the increased capital spending on property and equipment compared to the same period in 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $111.9 million during the first nine months of 2025 from net cash used in financing activities of $8.3 million during the first nine months of 2024. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2025 was primarily driven by the increase in net draws on our Revolver.
Indebtedness
Sale Leaseback Transaction
In 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building of our Minnesota facility to Oxbow Realty, an affiliate of 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 leaseback 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. Under failed sale leaseback accounting, we are deemed the owner of the land and building with the proceeds received recorded as a financial obligation.
In June 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell and leaseback a furnace over a 36 month period. Monthly lease payments total $0.1 million under the agreement. The Company received $4.6 million of cash as part of the sale agreement and accounted for the transaction as a failed sale leaseback. As a result, the Company is deemed the owner of the asset and a financial obligation has been recorded. Monthly lease payments will reduce the financial obligation balance, with a portion of the payments being applied to interest expense over the course of the lease.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Siena, which was amended on November 19, 2024 to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2028 and increase the total borrowing capacity to $130.0 million (the “Revolver”). On June 30, 2025, we entered into the Amended Loan Agreement with Siena and the other lenders party thereto, which replaced the prior Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, to further amend the credit facility and increase the borrowing base in connection with the Transaction. The Amended Loan Agreement significantly increased our borrowing capacity from $130.0 million to $350 million, increased the borrowing base under the Revolver, and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2030. The Amended Loan Agreement enhanced availability under the borrowing base, increased the allowable unfunded capital expenditures from $15.0 million to $44.0 million for 2025, and increased our minimum liquidity requirement from $15 million to $30 million. We expect these changes to improve our liquidity profile and support continued investment in strategic capital growth initiatives.
The Company has incurred $4.2 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, which is being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Revolver. At September 28, 2025, we had borrowings of $155.0 million and availability of $65 million under the Revolver.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company may be required to prepay the unpaid principal balance of the loans following specified prepayment events in the amount of 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company or any borrower with respect to such prepayment event. Borrowing under the Amended 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 and limits as provided in the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended 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 Amended 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 fixed charge coverage ratio that ranges from 4.00% to 5.00% per annum for term SOFR loans and ranges from 3.00% to 4.00% per annum for base rate loans.
The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other covenants and conditions. Subject to certain cure rights and financial conditions, the Amended Loan Agreement requires $10 million in minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) calculated as of the last day of each calendar month for the preceding twelve calendar months, prohibits unfunded capital expenditures in excess of the amounts set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement calculated as of the last day of each calendar year commencing December 31, 2025, requires a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a trailing twelve month basis, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 if our liquidity is less than (i) $30 million prior to the consummation of a sale and leaseback transaction on certain owned real property in Austin, Texas or (ii) $80 million following the consummation of such sale and leaseback transaction, and requires the Borrowers maintain liquidity of at least $70 million at all times following such sale and leaseback transaction. In addition, the Amended 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. As of September 28, 2025, we were in compliance with applicable covenants of the Amended Loan Agreement and expect to continue to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months.
Due to a lockbox clause in the Amended Loan Agreement, the outstanding loan balance is required to be serviced with working capital, and the debt is classified as short-term on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
VIE Financing
On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, the Company’s consolidated VIE, entered into a loan agreement for $39.0 million (the “VIE Financing”) to finance the acquisition of the building and land of the SkyWater Minnesota facility. The VIE Financing is repayable in equal monthly installments of $0.2 million over 10 years, with the balance payable at the maturity date of October 6, 2030. The interest rate under the VIE Financing is fixed at 3.44%. The VIE Financing is guaranteed by Oxbow Industries, who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty. The VIE Financing is not subject to financial covenants.
The terms of the VIE Financing include provisions that grant the lender several protective rights when certain triggering events defined in the loan agreement occur, including events tied to SkyWater’s occupancy of the SkyWater Minnesota facility and SkyWater’s financial performance. The triggering events are not financial covenants and the occurrence of these triggering events do not represent events of default, nor do they result in the VIE Financing becoming callable, rather the protective rights become enforceable by the lender. Based on the level of SkyWater’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring or rent costs relative to gross rents paid from SkyWater to Oxbow Realty, as defined in the loan agreement, a triggering event existed and the lender’s protective rights were enforceable during the first half of fiscal year 2024. Pursuant to its protective rights, the lender had retained in a restricted account amounts paid by SkyWater to Oxbow Realty pursuant to the Company’s related party lease agreement that were in excess of the scheduled debt payments paid by Oxbow Realty to the lender. The triggering event was cured during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and the funds held in the restricted account were remitted back to Oxbow Realty. No triggering events as defined in the loan agreement existed as of September 28, 2025.
The VIE Financing is secured by a security interest in the land and building which was the subject of the sale-leaseback transaction described above. The Company’s VIE incurred third-party transaction costs of $0.1 million, which are recognized as debt issuance costs and are amortizing as additional interest expense over the life of the VIE Financing. The Company incurred additional third-party transaction costs of $3.5 million, which are recognized as debt issuance costs and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the VIE Financing.
Tool Financing Loans
We, from time to time, enter into financing arrangements with lenders to finance the purchase of manufacturing tools and other equipment. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, we did not enter into any new arrangements to sell manufacturing tools and other equipment to financing lenders. In fiscal year 2024, these arrangements totaled $8.5 million. These agreements include bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms, which we intend to exercise. These transactions represent failed sale leasebacks with the associated equipment recorded in property and equipment, net and the proceeds received, net of scheduled repayments of the financings, recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Material Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily relate to the following, for which information on both a short-term and long-term basis is provided in the indicated notes to the consolidated financial statements:
•Debt - Refer to Note 7.
•Capital expenditure commitments - Refer to Note 10.
•Capital lease commitments - Refer to .
•Sale leaseback obligation - Refer to Note 11.
•Income Taxes - Refer to Note 8.
•Other commitments and contingencies - Refer to Note 10.
Recent Accounting Developments
For information on new accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
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.
We are also a “smaller reporting company.” If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In connection with preparing our interim 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our interim 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, valuation of inventory, equity-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 changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024, expect for the critical accounting policy set forth below.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), recognizing identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The total purchase consideration transferred, including cash paid, equity issued, contingent payments and other forms of consideration is also measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. When the total consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired, the excess is recorded as goodwill. When the total consideration transferred is less than the fair value of net assets acquired, a bargain purchase gain is recorded.
The estimation of fair values in a business combination involves significant judgment. We use a variety of valuation techniques many of which are complex, including discounted cash flow techniques, market comparisons, and cost approaches. These valuations depend on valuation inputs, including many assumptions such as discount rates, projected earnings, useful lives, and other economic factors that management must estimate.
If complete information is not available at the time of acquisition, provisional estimates are used and may be adjusted during a measurement period of up to one year, based on information that existed as of the acquisition date. If new information becomes available during the measurement period, provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively. However, once the measurement period ends, any subsequent changes to fair value estimates are recognized in current-period earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To supplement our interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, an additional non-GAAP financial measure is provided and reconciled in the table below.
We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management regularly evaluates to provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to make informed operating decisions, complete strategic planning, prepare annual budgets, and evaluate the Company’s and our management’s performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure to our investors because it provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and excludes 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 this non-GAAP financial measure is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, other companies, including our peers, may calculate their non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, equity-based compensation expense, management transition expense, transaction costs and bargain purchase gain.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure to our investors because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to other companies, including our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. We exclude the items listed above from net income or loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending on the accounting methods and policies used, book values of assets, capital structures, and the methods by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income determined in accordance with 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 loss attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(5)Represents the preliminary bargain purchase gain recognized on the acquisition of Fab 25 on June 30, 2025. The total consideration paid by the Company to acquire Fab 25 was less than the fair value of the next assets acquired and necessitate the recognition of the bargain purchase gain pursuant to GAAP. The amount of the bargain purchase gain is impacted by the fair values assigned to the net assets acquired in purchase accounting. Values in this regard, as well as related tax impacts, are preliminary in nature as of the date of this release and are subject to finalization in the next several quarters as allowed by GAAP. Changes in values are to be expected and could be significant as this work is finalized. Any adjustments recognized to finalize purchase accounting will impact the amount of the bargain purchase gain arising from the acquisition and will be reflected on a prospective basis in future quarters.
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, accounts receivable, and contract assets. 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 and contract assets. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. Our consideration of the need for an allowance for credit losses is based upon current market conditions and other factors.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 28, 2025, the outstanding balance of our Revolver was $155.0 million, which bears interest at a variable rate. At September 28, 2025, the rate in effect was 8.6% . Based on the outstanding balance of our Revolver at September 28, 2025, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would increase interest expense by $1.6 million annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer) as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our 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 September 28, 2025. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 28, 2025 due to the material weakness 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, notwithstanding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, has concluded that our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in conformity with GAAP.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
As disclosed in Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024, we identified a material weakness in our revenue accounting process related to the ineffective design and operation of revenue-related internal controls. An inappropriate level of privileged access to the Company’s manufacturing application and its databases used in the revenue accounting process exists. Information technology general controls are not sufficient in design as the Company does not maintain controls over the provisioning of privileged user access or the monitoring of that access. As data is obtained from these databases to process revenue transactions, IT-dependent manual revenue controls that rely on data from the manufacturing application and its databases are also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted by the access deficiencies.
As of September 28, 2025, we continue to have a material weakness in our revenue accounting process related to the design and operation of revenue-related internal controls, including the information and communications aspects of these controls across the organization, which resulted in immaterial misstatements to revenue and revisions in our historical financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 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 Plans
Remediation of the material weakness in the revenue accounting process will require the Company to design and implement system improvements to either remove the privileged access to the manufacturing application and its databases or develop and implement controls from which changes processed via the privileged access are monitored and evaluated, as well as enhancements to our IT-dependent manual controls, including the consideration of risk assessment and information and communication aspects of these controls across the organization.
As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weakness in the revenue accounting process, we may determine that additional measures or time are required to address the issues fully, or that we need to modify or otherwise adjust the remediation actions described above. We will also continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness in the revenue accounting process cannot be considered remediated until our remediation plans have been completed and the effectiveness of the remedial actions have been validated.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On June 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Fab 25 and are currently integrating it into our operations and internal control processes. As part of this integration, we are evaluating Fab 25’s control environment and implementing new and redesigned existing internal controls as needed. In accordance with U.S Securities and Exchange Commission guidance, the assessment of Fab 25’s internal controls may be excluded from our overall evaluation of internal control effectiveness for up to one year following the acquisition; therefore, our assessment remains ongoing.
Other the integration of Fab 25 into our internal control processes, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three- and nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 that have materially affected, or are 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 Factors
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2024. 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 December 29, 2024, except for the risk factors set forth below.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction and any benefit may take longer to realize than we expect.
On June 30, 2025, we completed our acquisition of substantially all of the property, plant and equipment and employees and certain other assets and liabilities related to Infineon Technologies AG’s 200 mm fab (“Fab 25”) in Austin, Texas (the “Transaction”). The success of the Transaction will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of Fab 25’s operations with our existing operations, and there are uncertainties inherent in such an integration. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating Fab 25’s operations. Delays or unexpected difficulties in the integration process could adversely affect our business, financial results and financial condition. Even if we are able to integrate Fab 25’s operations successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of revenue synergies, cost savings and operational efficiencies that we expect or the achievement of these benefits within a reasonable period of time or at all.
Increased leverage may harm our financial condition and results of operations.
As of September 28, 2025 we had $183.8 million of total debt on a consolidated basis. We funded the net cash purchase price for the Transaction of approximately $86.5 million with net borrowings under our Loan Agreement (as defined below), which materially increased our indebtedness. This increase and any future increases in our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation:
•we have additional cash requirements to support the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness;
•increases in our outstanding indebtedness and leverage may increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure;
•our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate and other purposes may be reduced;
•our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry may be reduced; and
•our flexibility to make acquisitions and develop technology may be limited.
Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements, we may be required, among other things:
•to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets;
•to refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness;
•to sell selected assets or businesses; or
•to reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures.
Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be available at all or on economically favorable terms.
We may need to raise additional capital or financing to continue to execute and expand our business.
We may need to raise additional capital to expand or if positive cash flow is not achieved and maintained. As of September 28, 2025, our available cash balance, not including cash held by a variable interest entity that we consolidate, was $30.9 million. We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects, strategic partnerships and alliances, licensing or sale and leasing arrangements, and debt or equity financings, including sales of our common stock under our at-the-market offering program. If we raise additional equity or securities convertible or exchangeable for our equity, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock could decline. Newly-issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other convertible securities that could have additional dilutive effects. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could involve certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. If we raise additional funds through joint venture projects, strategic partnerships and alliances, licensing or sale and leasing arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or other assets, or grant licenses on terms unfavorable to us. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses, and other costs. We also may be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the weakness of capital markets, and the fact that we have not been profitable, which could impact the availability and cost of future financings.
In addition, our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $350.0 million with scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2030, and other sources of financing. 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 and limits as provided in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for borrowing base sublimits applicable to each of unbilled accounts receivable and equipment. We have also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, 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. Pursuant to the support letter, such funding would be in the form of a loan or equity investment. However, if such funding is required and Oxbow Industries does not provide additional funding to us, our liquidity, business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely impacted. The support letter expires March 18, 2026.
We believe our expected results of operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand and available borrowings from our Loan Agreement will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, we may need to seek additional financing and 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. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may have to reduce our operations accordingly, which could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our cash flows and limit our flexibility to raise additional capital.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness and may need to incur additional debt to support our growth. As of September 28, 2025, our indebtedness totaled $183.8 million, consisting of $155.0 million under our Loan Agreement currently with an interest rate of 8.6%, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, $8.5 million of tool financing, which is inclusive of a $4.6 million obligation from a sale leaseback transaction entered into in the second quarter of 2025, and a $33.8 million financing from the sale of the land and building representing our corporate headquarters in Minnesota (the “Financing”). Recent significant increases in interest rates have increased our borrowing costs and continued increases in interest rates will further increase the cost of servicing our outstanding indebtedness, refinancing our outstanding indebtedness, and increase the cost of any new indebtedness.
Under the terms of the Financing, we entered into an agreement to lease the land and building for our corporate headquarters from Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC (“Oxbow Realty”), an affiliate of our principal stockholder, for initial payments of $0.4 million per month over 20 years terminating on September 29, 2040. 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.
Our substantial amount of debt could have important consequences, and could:
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents to make interest, rent, and principal payments, reducing the availability of our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations to fund future capital expenditures, working capital, execution of our strategy and other general corporate requirements;
•increase our cost of borrowing and limit our ability to access additional debt to fund future growth;
•increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and adverse changes in governmental regulations;
•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, which may place us at a disadvantage compared with our competitors; and
•limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity, which would also limit our ability to further expand our business.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
