FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that ~~we believe~~SkyWater Technology, Inc. ("SkyWater," the "Company," "we," "us" or "it") 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~~the Company's expectations regarding ~~our~~its business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “seek,” “potential,” “believe,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would” and “project” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar words or expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

~~Our forward-looking~~Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Key factors that may affect ~~our~~the Company's results include, among others, the following:

•~~our~~its goals and strategies;

•~~our~~its future business development, financial condition and results of operations;

•~~our~~its ability to continue operating ~~our~~its sole semiconductor foundry at full capacity;

•~~our~~its ability to appropriately respond to changing technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis;

•~~our~~its customer relationships and ~~our~~its ability to retain and expand ~~our~~its customer relationships;

•~~our~~its ability to accurately predict ~~our~~its future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting and adjusting ~~our~~its expenses;

•~~our~~its expectations regarding dependence on ~~our~~ largest customers;

•~~our~~its ability to diversify ~~our~~its customer base and develop relationships in new markets;

•the performance and reliability of ~~our~~its third-party suppliers and manufacturers;

•~~our~~its ability to procure tools, materials, and chemicals amid industry-wide supply chain shortages;

•~~our~~its ability to control costs, including ~~our~~its operating and capital expenses;

•the size and growth potential of the markets for ~~our~~its solutions, and ~~our~~its ability to serve and expand ~~our~~its presence in those markets;

•the level of demand in ~~our~~its customers’ end markets;

•~~our~~its ability to attract, train and retain key qualified personnel in a competitive labor market;

•adverse litigation judgments, settlements or other litigation-related costs;

•changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs;

•~~our~~its ability to raise additional capital or financing;

•~~our~~its ability to accurately forecast demand;

•changes in local, regional, national and international economic or political conditions, including those resulting from rising inflation and interest rates, a recession, or intensified international hostilities;

•the level and timing of U.S. government program funding;

•~~our~~its ability to maintain compliance with certain U.S. government contracting requirements;

•regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;

•~~our~~its ability to protect ~~our~~its intellectual property rights; and

•other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in ~~our~~the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, ~~2023.~~2023 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Moreover, ~~our~~SkyWater's 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~~SkyWater's actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in ~~our~~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~~SkyWater believes 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~~SkyWater's views only as of the date hereof. ~~We anticipate~~SkyWater anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause ~~our~~its views to change. However, ~~we undertake~~SkyWater undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to conform such statements to changes in ~~our~~its expectations or to ~~our~~its 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~~the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof.

SkyWater is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of ~~April~~July 2, 2023, and for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022, are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except share and per share information), are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all financial information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with ~~our~~SkyWater's audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of January 1, 2023 and for the year then ended. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of ~~our~~the Company's financial position as of ~~April~~July 2, 2023 ~~our~~and results of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Principles of Consolidation

~~Our~~The condensed consolidated financial statements include ~~our~~the Company's assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the Company's subsidiaries in which ~~we have~~it has a controlling financial interest, SkyWater Technology Foundry, Inc. (“SkyWater Technology Foundry”), SkyWater Federal, LLC (“SkyWater Federal”), ~~and~~ SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), and ~~the~~Oxbow Realty Partners, LLC ("Oxbow Realty"), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which ~~we are~~SkyWater is the primary ~~beneficiary.~~beneficiary and an affiliate of the Company's principal shareholder, CMI Oxbow Partners, LLC ("Oxbow"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~The condensed consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows are for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022.~~

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets and liabilities as a result of uncertainties.

For the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023, wethe Company incurred losses of ~~$4,273.~~$8,590 and $12,863, respectively. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2023, wethe Company had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$13,840.~~$16,178.

~~Our~~SkyWater's ability to execute ~~our~~its operating strategy is dependent on ~~our~~its ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through ~~our~~the Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt) and other sources of financing. ~~Our~~The current business plans indicate that wethe Company may require additional liquidity to continue ~~our operations~~to operate for the next 12 months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. ~~We have~~The Company has identified specific actions ~~we could take~~that can be taken to reduce operating costs and improve cash flow, including reductions in spending and delays in hiring certain personnel. If such actions are taken, it may require usthe Company to decrease ~~our~~its level of investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of ~~our~~its business. The Company also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC ("Oxbow Industries"), an affiliate of ~~our principal stockholder CMI~~ Oxbow, ~~Partners, LLC ("Oxbow"),~~ to provide funding in an amount up to $12,500, if necessary, to enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due through at least one year beyond the issuance of these financial statements. ~~Management believes that based~~Based upon SkyWater's operating forecasts, its cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on the Revolver, potential cost

~~on the Revolver, potential cost~~ reduction measures it could undertake, and the support letter from Oxbow Industries, as needed, management believes SkyWater will ~~provide~~have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, wethe Company could raise additional capital through the ATM Program (as defined below) and seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver, however weit 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.~~the Company. See Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity for information regarding the ATM Program.

SkyWater has based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to it. To the extent that ~~our~~the Company's current resources and plans to potentially reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy ~~our~~the Company's cash requirements, weit may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. ~~Our~~The Company's ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond ~~our~~SkyWater's control.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of ~~our~~the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Because wethe Company reported a net loss for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. At ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling ~~2,949,000~~2,483,000 and ~~3,414,000,~~2,526,000, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022:


		Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

condensed consolidated financial statements. ~~There were~~The Company made no material changes to ~~our~~its significant accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023. However, wethe Company adopted the provision of the new credit loss accounting standard as discussed below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~"Leases", later codified in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, ~~Leases~~"Leases" ("Topic 842"). Topic 842 was effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. As an emerging growth company, weSkyWater adopted Topic 842 on January 3, 2022 for ~~our~~the year ending January 1, 2023. The guidance in Topic 842 supersedes the ~~leasing~~ guidance in ASC Topic 840, ~~Leases.~~"Leases". Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize lease right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. WeThe Company adopted Topic 842, and all related amendments using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, wethe Company did not restate prior periods, nor restate prior lease disclosures. WeThe Company also elected certain practical expedients allowed by Topic 842 which, among other things, allowed usit to carry forward historical lease classification conclusions previously made under Topic 840 and to exclude from the scope of ~~our~~its application of Topic 842 lease arrangements with terms less than twelve months. The most significant impact of adopting Topic 842 was the recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of an initial right-of-use asset of $184 and an initial lease liability of $184 for ~~our~~its operating leases. ~~Our~~The Company's accounting for finance leases has remained substantially unchanged.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ~~a new credit loss accounting standard,~~ ASU No. 2016-13, ~~Financial Instruments – Current Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement~~"Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial ~~Instruments,~~Instruments", later codified in Topic 326, ~~Financial~~"Financial Instruments – Credit ~~Losses~~Losses" ("Topic 326"). Topic 326 replaces the preexisting guidance that only required the recognition of credit losses when losses were probable and estimable. Topic 326 now requires recognition of credit losses based on SkyWater's expectation of losses to be incurred while the financial instrument is held. Topic 326 was effective for most public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As an emerging growth company, weSkyWater adopted Topic 326 on January 2, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $375 for the effects of increasing ~~our~~its allowance for credit losses as of January 2, 2023. All other impacts to SkyWater's financial position, results of operations and cash flows were immaterial.

Note 4 Revenue

Wafer Services Contract

In March 2022, wethe Company signed a contract with a significant wafer services customer. ~~Under~~Per the terms of the contract, orders placed by the customer are non-cancellable and ~~we have~~SkyWater has an enforceable right to payment for any finished or in-process wafers plus a reasonable margin. The wafers produced for that customer are highly customized and have no alternative use. Control of these wafers is deemed to transfer to the customer over time during the fabrication process, using the same measure of progress toward satisfying the promise to deliver the units to the customer. The contract price is recognized as revenue over time based on actual costs incurred in the fabrication process to date relative to total expected costs to produce all wafers. The contract terms and pricing is applicable to all in-process and future wafers. WeThe Company recorded revenue of $8,230 in the three months ended April 3, 2022 to account for recognition of wafer services activities in process.

Revenue Recognition of Advanced Technology Services Contract

Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized over time as work progresses using either the input or output method based upon which method ~~we believe~~the Company believes represents the best indication of the overall progress toward satisfying each performance obligation. Over time revenue recognition using the output method relies on performance completed to date or contractual milestones if they correlate directly with the progress to satisfy ~~our~~the Company's performance obligations. Over time revenue recognition using the input method is based on costs incurred to date compared to estimated total cost required to complete each performance obligation as of the reporting date. ~~We measure~~The Company measures progress by comparing total costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs of each performance obligation, and record that proportion of the contract price allocated to that performance obligation as revenue. Costs include labor, manufacturing costs, materials and other direct costs related to the customer contract. During the third quarter of 2022 weand first quarter of 2023, the Company signed contracts with a ~~significant Advanced Technology Services customer that for which revenue is recognized based upon the input method using a cost-based measure of progress.~~

VIE Financing

On September 30, 2020, Oxbow Realty, our consolidated VIE (see Note 12 – Related Party Transactions and Note 13 – Variable Interest Entity), entered into a loan agreement for $39,000 (the ~~“Financing”~~“VIE Financing”) to finance ~~its~~the acquisition of the building and land associated with ~~our~~SkyWater's primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota. 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 ~~our principal stockholder,~~ Oxbow, who is also the sole equity holder of Oxbow Realty.

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 Bloomington, Minnesota facility and SkyWater’s financial performance. 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 trigger event exists and the lender’s protective rights are currently enforceable. Pursuant to its protective rights, the lender has retained in a restricted account amounts paid by SkyWater to Oxbow Realty pursuant to the Company’s related party lease agreement that are in excess of the scheduled debt payments paid by Oxbow Realty to the lender. The funds held in the restricted accounts become remittable back to Oxbow Realty once the trigger event is cured. As of July 2, 2023, Oxbow Realty maintained a $4,542 receivable for the cumulative amount of excess payments held by the lender in the restricted account.

Tool Financing Loan

~~In the~~Between fourth quarter of 2022 weand first quarter 2023, SkyWater entered into an ~~agreement~~arrangement to sell a manufacturing tool to an equipment financing lender for $3,100 in the fourth quarter of 2022, and an additional $496 in the first quarter of 2023.

Note 7 Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rates for each of the three and six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022 differ from ~~the~~its 21% statutory tax rates due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences, the tax impact of the vesting of restricted stock units and changes in ~~our~~the 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 rate for the three months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022 was ~~0.0%~~(0.4)% and ~~1.2%~~(0.5)%, ~~respectively. The~~respectively, and the effective income tax rate ~~applied to our pre-tax loss was lower than our statutory tax rate of 21%~~ for ~~both~~ the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022 ~~primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.~~was (0.2)% and 0.5% respectively.

Management regularly evaluates the future realization of deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance, if considered necessary, based on such evaluation. As part of the evaluation, management has evaluated taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, feasible tax planning strategies, and future expectations of income. Based upon this analysis, a valuation allowance of $20,734 and $19,855 was recorded as of ~~April 3, 2022~~July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively, to reduce ~~our~~the net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Note 10 Fair Value Measurements

~~The FASB~~ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure" (Topic 820), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ~~To determine fair value, we use a~~The Company uses the fair value hierarchy ~~categorized~~defined in Topic 820 to categorize assets and liabilities subject to fair value reporting into three levels, as follows, based on the inputs ~~used. Generally,~~used to derive the ~~three levels are as follows:~~fair value of these balances.

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 inputs were used in the valuation of ~~our~~the Company's contingent consideration obligation. The change in level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of ~~our~~the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and ~~our~~the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, included in ~~our~~its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect ~~our~~the Company's current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect ~~our~~the Company's future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those discussed or implied in ~~our~~the Company's forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” herein and elsewhere in ~~our~~its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~We refer~~SkyWater refers to the three-month periods ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022 as the ~~first~~second quarter of 2023 and ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, respectively. Each of these three-month periods includes 13 weeks. The six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 are referred to as the first six months of 2023 and the first six months of 2022, respectively. Each of these six-month periods includes 26 weeks. All percentage amounts and ratios presented in this management’s discussion and analysis were calculated using the underlying data in thousands. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes identified for the current period results represent comparisons to results for the prior corresponding period.

For purposes of this section, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “SkyWater” refer to SkyWater Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries collectively.

Overview

We are a U.S.-based, independent, pure-play technology foundry that offers advanced semiconductor development and manufacturing services from our fabrication facility, or fab, in Minnesota and advanced packaging services from our Florida facility. ~~In our~~Our technology-as-a-service model ~~we leverage~~leverages a strong foundation of proprietary technology to co-develop process technology intellectual property, or IP, with our customers that enables disruptive concepts through our Advanced Technology Services for diverse microelectronics (integrated circuits, or ICs) and related micro- and nanotechnology applications. In addition to differentiated technology development services, we support customers with volume production of ICs for high-growth markets through our Wafer Services.

The combination of semiconductor development and manufacturing services we provide our customers is not available to them from a conventional fab. In addition, our status as a publicly-traded, U.S.-based pure-play technology foundry with Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) Category 1A Trusted Accreditation from the U.S. Department of Defense, or DoD, positions us well to provide distinct, competitive advantages to our customers. These advantages include the benefits of enhanced IP security and easy access to a U.S. domestic supply chain.

We primarily focus on serving diversified, high-growth, end users in numerous vertical markets, including (1) advanced computation, (2) aerospace and defense, or A&D, (3) automotive and transportation, (4) bio-health, (5) consumer and (6) industrial/internet of things, or IoT. By housing both development and manufacturing in a single operation, we rapidly and efficiently transition newly-developed processes to high-yielding volume production, eliminating the time it would otherwise take to transfer production to a third-party fab. Through our Advanced Technology Services, we specialize in co-creating with our customers advanced solutions that directly serve our end markets, such as superconducting ICs for quantum computing, integrated photonics, carbon nanotube technologies, or CNTs, microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, technologies for biomedical and imaging applications, and advanced packaging. Our Wafer Services include the manufacture of silicon-based analog and mixed-signal ICs for our end markets. Our focus on the differentiated analog and complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS markets supports long product life-cycles and requirements that value performance over cost-efficiencies, and leverages our portfolio IP.

Before we began independent operations, our fab was owned and operated by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, or Cypress, as a captive manufacturing facility for 26 years. We have leveraged the Cypress system, manufacturing technology and process development capabilities to advance our product offerings. We became an independent company in March 2017 when we were acquired by Oxbow Industries, LLC, or Oxbow, as part of a divestiture from Cypress. Our multi-year foundry services agreement with Cypress, which ended in June 2020, created a runway for us to operate the foundry at a high utilization rate while continuing to expand and diversify the customer base transferred by Cypress. Cypress was acquired in April 2020 by Infineon Technologies AG, or Infineon.

Factors and Trends Affecting our Business and Results of Operations

The following trends and uncertainties either affected our financial performance during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 and 2022 or are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future.

2224

Table of Contents

•Macroeconomic and competitive conditions, including cyclicality and consolidation, as well as the global availability of significant incentives in semiconductor technology and manufacturing affecting the semiconductor industry.

•On August 9, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors, or CHIPS, and Science Act, in which the United States has committed to a renewed focus on providing incentives and funding for onshore companies to develop and advance the latest semiconductor technologies, supporting onshore manufacturing capabilities, and on strengthening key onshore supply chains. The act authorizes the U.S. Department of Commerce to enable execution of CHIPS awards and provides $52.7 billion for American semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development, including $39 billion in financial assistance to build, expand, or modernize domestic facilities and equipment for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, or research and development.

•Our overall level of indebtedness from our revolving credit agreement for up to $100 million, which we refer to as the Revolver (as defined below and in Note 6 – Debt), and a $37 million financing from the sale of the land and building representing our headquarters in Minnesota, which we refer to as the VIE Financing, the corresponding interest rates charged to us by our lenders and our ability to access borrowings under the Revolver.

•Identification and pursuit of specific product and geographic market opportunities that we find attractive both within and outside the United States. We will continue to more effectively address these opportunities through research and development and allocation of additional revenue and marketing resources.

•Material and other cost inflation. We strive for productivity improvements, and we implement increases in selling prices to help mitigate inflation. We expect the current economic environment will result in continuing price volatility and inflation for many of our raw materials. In addition, the labor market for skilled manufacturing remains tight and our labor costs have increased as a result.

•Supply chain disruptions impacting our business. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, supply chain disruption for substrates, chemicals and spare parts in addition to customer supply chain constraints that have negatively impacted our revenue.

Financial Performance Metrics

Our senior management team regularly reviews certain key financial performance metrics within our business, including:

•~~revenue~~Revenue and gross profit; and

•~~earnings~~Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, or adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial measure not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, that excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results, as well as items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry.

Revenue

Revenue was ~~$66.1~~$69.8 million for second quarter 2023 compared to $47.4 million for second quarter of 2022, Revenue was $135.9 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2023 compared to ~~$48.1~~$95.5 million for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2022. The ~~$18.0 million or 37% increase was primarily~~increases in revenue were driven by ~~the growth~~an increase in Advanced Technology Services revenues.

The following table shows revenue by service type for the ~~first~~second quarter and the six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and ~~April~~July 3, 2022:

The decrease in Wafer Services revenue of ~~$3.8~~$0.8 million, or ~~(17)~~(4)%, from ~~the first~~second quarter of 2022 compared to ~~the first~~second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by decreased activity for a consumer industry customer. For the six months ended July 2, 2023, Wafer Services revenue decreased by $4.5 million, or (12)%, primarily driven by $8.2 million of incremental one-time revenue ~~event of $8.2 million related~~related to a new contract signed with a ~~significant~~ customer in~~the~~ first quarter of 2022, ~~partially~~partially offset by ~~$4.6~~$3.8 million of increases due to continued strengthening in ~~our~~the automotive and medical industry end markets.

Advanced Technology Services revenues increased $23.2 million, or 78%, from second quarter 2022 to second quarter 2023, and increased $44.9 million, or 80%, for the six months ended July 2, 2023 from the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase in both periods was primarily due to continued momentum in U.S. government programs to bolster the domestic

Table of Contents

The increase in Advanced Technology Services revenues of $21.7 million, or 82%, from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023 was due to continued momentum in U.S. government activities, in partnership with SkyWater, to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain and strengthen the defense industrial base, as well as ~~a $2.3 million~~an increase in activity in the cloud and computing end market.

~~Gross profit (loss)~~Cost of revenue

~~Gross profit (loss)~~Cost of revenue increased ~~$17.4~~$7.8 million to ~~$16.5~~$53.1 million for ~~the first~~second quarter of 2023, from ~~$(0.9)~~$45.3 million for ~~the first~~second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily ~~due~~driven by increases in labor costs of $5.7 million and outside services costs of $1.4 million.

For the six months ended July 2, 2023, cost of revenue increased to ~~strong growth~~$102.8 million from $94.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase of ~~Advanced Technology~~$8.4 million was primarily attributable to increases in labor costs of $10.3 million and outside services costs of $3.8 million, royalty expense of $0.8 million, and raw material costs of $0.3 million. In first quarter 2022, a change in contract terms with a significant Wafer Services customer resulted in an additional $10.9 million in cost of revenue ~~and increased fab efficiency.~~recognized during the six months ended July 3, 2022, partially offset by a $4.1 million adjustment to the net realizable value of wafer inventory, which lowered cost of goods sold in the six months ended July 3, 2022 relative to the six months ended July 2, 2023.

Research and development

Research and development costs remained flat for second quarter 2023 from second quarter 2022.

For the six months ended July 2, 2023, research and development costs increased to ~~$2.7~~$5.1 million from $4.6 million for the ~~first quarter of 2023, from $2.3 million for the first quarter of~~six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase ~~of $0.4 million, or 17%,~~ was primarily attributable to an increase in ~~personnel expense, due to our continued investment in internal personnel and external engineering support.~~

~~Selling, general and administrative expenses~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, from $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $3.2 million, or 27%, was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $2.2 million, a $0.8 million increase in personnel expenselabor costs as a result of our continued investment in internal personnel.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $17.8 million for second quarter 2023, from $10.8 million for second quarter 2022. The increase of $7.0 million was primarily attributable to increases of $3.8 million in external fees, primarily consisting of management and operations consulting services, $1.5 million in labor costs as a result of the Company's continued investment in internal personnel, and $1.4 million in bad debt expense.

For the six months ended July 2, 2023, selling, general and administrative expense increased to $32.7 million from $22.5 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase of $10.2 million was primarily attributable to increases of $3.8 million in external fees, primarily consisting of management and operations consulting services, $2.4 million in labor costs as a ~~$1.0~~result of the Company's continued investment in internal personnel, and $3.5 million ~~increase~~ in ~~our discretionary expenses, including commission expense, recruiting expense, lobbying expense, and IT~~bad debt expense. ~~These increases were offset by a decrease in equity based compensation of $0.7 million.~~

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to ~~$2.5~~$3.0 million for ~~the first~~second quarter of 2023 from $1.0 million for ~~the first~~second quarter of 2022. The increase of ~~$1.4~~$1.9 million was primarily the result of increased amounts outstanding under the Revolver and a higher interest rate in ~~the first~~second quarter of 2023 compared to second quarter 2022.

For the ~~first quarter~~six months ended July 2, 2023, interest expense increased to $5.4 million from $2.1 million for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The increase of $3.4 million was primarily the result of increased amounts outstanding under the Revolver and a higher interest rate on the Revolver in 2023 compared to 2022.

Income tax expense (benefit)

Income tax expense decreased to $0$0.0 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2023 from ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022. The effective income tax rate for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2023 was ~~0.0%~~(0.4)%, compared to an effective income tax rate of ~~1.2%~~(0.5)% for the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022.

Income tax expense was $0.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023 compared to a $0.1 million benefit for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2023 was (0.2)%, compared to an effective income tax rate of 0.5% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The income tax rate applied to our pre-tax losses for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Net income attributable to ~~non-controlling~~noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to ~~non-controlling~~noncontrolling interests ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$0.2~~$1.2 million to ~~$0.7~~$2.1 million for second quarter 2023 from $0.8 million for second quarter 2022, and increased by $1.1 million to $2.8 million for the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended July 2, 2023 from ~~$0.9~~$1.7 million for the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended July 3, 2022.

profits and losses of ~~Oxbow Realty~~the VIE that the owners of our shareholders’ equity do not legally have rights or obligations to. The increase in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily relates to increased interest income from the failed sale leaseback transaction with SkyWater.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased ~~$12.9~~$8.1 million to ~~$8.1~~$6.5 million for second quarter 2023 from $(1.6) million for second quarter 2022. For the six months ended July 2, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA increased $21.0 million to $14.6 million from $(6.4) million for the ~~first quarter of 2023 from $(4.8) million for the first quarter of~~six months ended July 3, 2022. The ~~increase primarily~~increases in both periods reflects increased revenues at higher margins as a result of the overall growth in our Advanced Technology Services, , partially offset by increased labor and infrastructure costs as we continue to scale our business to meet the demands of our customers.

For a discussion of adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the section below entitled “—Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our ability to execute our operating strategy is dependent on our ability to maintain liquidity and continue to access capital through our Revolver (as defined in Note 6 – Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and other sources of financing. Our current business plans indicate that we may require additional liquidity to continue our operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. We have identified specific actions we could

~~Table of Contents~~

take to reduce operating costs to improve cash flow, which include a reduction in spending and a delayed increase in certain personnel, and may require us to decrease our level of planned investment in new products and technologies, or discontinue further expansion of our business. We also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC ("~~Oxbow"~~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 through at least one year beyond the issuance of these financial statements. Based upon ~~its~~our operational forecasts, ~~management believes~~our cash and cash equivalents on hand, our available borrowings on our Revolver, potential cost reduction measures we could take, and the support letter from ~~an affiliate of our principal stockholder,~~Oxbow Industries, as needed, we believe we will ~~provide~~have sufficient liquidity to fund SkyWater's operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, we could raise additional capital through the ATM Program (as defined in Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity) and seek additional equity or debt financing, including a refinancing and/or expansion of the Revolver. However, we cannot provide any assurance that additional funds will be available when needed, ~~from any source,~~ or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.

~~SkyWater has~~We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to ~~it.~~us. To the extent that our current resources and plans to reduce expenses are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

We had ~~$13.8~~$16.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, not including cash held by a ~~variable interest entity~~VIE that we consolidate, and availability under our Revolver of ~~$19.7~~$34.6 million as of ~~April~~July 2, 2023. We are subject to certain liquidity and EBITDA covenants under our Loan Agreement, as outlined in the Indebtedness section of Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis below.

ATM Program

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023, SkyWater sold ~~245,289~~1.3 million shares under the ATM Program at an average sale price of ~~$11.33~~$10.34 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of ~~$2.8~~$13.5 million before deducting sales commissions and fees of ~~$0.1~~$0.4 million. SkyWater used the net proceeds ~~of $2.7 million~~ to fund its operations. See Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity for information regarding the ATM Program.

Capital Expenditures

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~April~~July 2, 2023, we spent approximately ~~$4.9~~$5.6 million on capital expenditures, including purchases of property, equipment and software. The majority of these capital expenditures relate to our foundry expansion in Minnesota ~~as discussed below,~~ and the development of our advanced packaging capabilities at the Center for NeoVation in Florida. We anticipate our cash on hand and the availability under our Revolver will provide the funds needed to meet our customer demand and anticipated capital expenditures in the remainder of fiscal 2023.

Table of Contents

We have approximately ~~$4.4~~$8.6 million of contractual commitments relating to various anticipated capital expenditures outstanding as of ~~April~~July 2, 2023 that we expect to be paid in the remainder of 2023, through either cash on hand or availability under our ~~Revolver.~~Revolver or other financing arrangements.

Working Capital

Historically, we have depended on cash on hand, funds available under our Revolver and, more recently, net proceeds from sales of our common stock pursuant to the ATM Program, and, in the future, we may need to depend on additional debt and equity financings to fund our expansion strategy, working capital needs and capital expenditures. We believe that these sources of funds will be adequate to provide cash, as required, to support our strategy, ongoing operations, capital expenditures, lease obligations and working capital for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain future debt or equity financings on commercially reasonable terms sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

As of ~~April~~July 2, 2023, the outstanding balance of our Revolver was ~~$56.1~~$57.8 million, and our remaining availability under the Revolver was ~~$19.7~~$34.6 million. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2023, we were in compliance with applicable financial covenants of the Revolver and expect to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months.

The following table sets forth general information derived from our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 and 2022:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At ~~April~~July 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, we had ~~$13.8~~$16.2 million and $30.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The VIE we consolidate did not maintain any cash and cash equivalents at either ~~April~~July 2, 2023 or ~~April~~July 3, 2022.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations is driven by changes in the working capital needs associated with the various goods and services we provide, and expenses related to the infrastructure in place to support revenue generation. Working capital is primarily affected by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue, all of which tend to be related to and are affected by, changes in the timing and volume of activities performed. Net cash used in operating activities was ~~$11.1~~$18.0 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$0.3~~$4.1 million from ~~$10.8~~$13.9 million of cash used in operating activities during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022. The ~~decrease~~increase in cash used in operating activities during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 was driven primarily by ~~an increase~~increases in our accounts receivable, net ~~and decreases in our accounts payable~~ and deferred revenue during the period.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures comprise a significant use of our capital resources. These investments are intended to enable revenue growth in new and expanding markets, help us meet product demand and increase our manufacturing efficiencies and capacity.

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$3.1~~$3.2 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023, a decrease of ~~$1.8~~$2.6 million from ~~$4.8~~$5.9 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022. The decrease in cash used in investing activities during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 reflects decreased capital spending on property and equipment compared to the same period in 2022.

Financing Activities

Net cash ~~used in~~provided by financing activities was ~~$2.0~~$7.4 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023, a decrease of ~~$11.2~~$10.4 million from net cash provided by financing activities of ~~$9.1~~$17.8 million during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 was primarily driven by the net pay downs of our Revolver, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of our common stock under our ATM Program and employee stock purchase program.

Indebtedness

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On September 29, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the land and building representing our primary operating location in Bloomington, Minnesota to Oxbow Realty, LLC or ("Oxbow ~~Realty,~~Realty"), an entity controlled by our principal stockholder, CMI Oxbow Partners, LLC, for $39.0 million, less applicable transaction costs of $1.5 million and transaction services fees paid to Oxbow Realty of $2.0 million and paid a guarantee fee to our principal stockholder of $2.0 million. We subsequently entered into an agreement to ~~lease~~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.~~lease agreement. Due to our continuing involvement in the property, we are accounting for the transactions as a failed sale leaseback (a financing transaction). Under failed sale leaseback accounting, we are deemed the owner of the property with the proceeds received recorded as a financial obligation.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 28, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Siena Lending Group LLC ("Siena"). The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $100 million with scheduled maturity date of December 28, 2025 (the "Revolver"). The Company incurred $4.3 million of debt issuance costs, which will be

~~Table of Contents~~

amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Revolver. As of ~~April~~July 2, 2023, we had borrowings of ~~$56.1~~$57.8 million under the Revolver.

Borrowing under the Loan Agreement is limited by a borrowing base of specified advance rates applicable to billed accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, subject to various conditions, limits and any availability block as provided in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for borrowing base sublimits applicable to each of unbilled accounts receivable and equipment. Under certain circumstances, Siena may from time to time establish and revise reserves against the borrowing base and/or the maximum revolving facility amount.

Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate that depends upon the type of borrowing, whether a term secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) loan or base rate loan, plus the applicable margin. The term SOFR loan rate is a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a tenor of one month on the applicable day, subject to a minimum of 2.5% per annum. The base rate is the greatest of the prime rate, the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and 7.0% per annum. The applicable margin is an applicable percentage based on the fix charged coverage ratio that ranges from 5.25% to 6.25% per annum for term SOFR loans and ranges from 4.25% to 5.25% per annum for base rate loans.

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other covenants and conditions. Subject to certain cure rights, the Loan Agreement requires $10 million in minimum EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, prohibits unfunded capital expenditures in excess of $15 million calculated as of the last day of each calendar month commencing April 30, 2023 for the preceding twelve calendar months, and requires a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured on a trailing 12 month basis, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 if our liquidity is less than $15 million. In addition, the Loan Agreement places certain restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness), to create liens or other encumbrances (other than liens relating to permitted indebtedness), to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to our stockholders. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Loan Agreement as of ~~April~~July 2, 2023.

Due to a lockbox clause in the Loan Agreement, the outstanding loan balance is required to be serviced with working capital, and the debt is classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Contractual Obligations

There were no significant changes outside the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Material Cash Requirements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.

JOBS Act

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("JOBS ~~Act.~~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

Table of Contents

statements, exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new, or revised, accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new, or revised, accounting standards as other public companies that comply with such new, or revised, accounting standards on a non-delayed basis.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In connection with preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes are relevant at the time we prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

~~Table of Contents~~

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, share-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, except as set forth below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of our recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted, see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, an additional non-GAAP financial measure is provided and reconciled in the following table.

We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management utilizes to evaluate our ongoing financial performance and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. We use adjusted EBITDA to provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The use of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the comparable U.S. GAAP measure. In addition, because our non-GAAP measure is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, it is susceptible to differing calculations, and not all comparable or peer companies may calculate their non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the non-GAAP financial measure presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance, including SkyWater Florida start-up costs, management transition expense, and net income attributable to ~~non-controlling~~noncontrolling interests.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets

Table of Contents

were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, unless otherwise expressly indicated.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Currently, our market risks relate to potential changes in the fair value of our debt due to fluctuations in applicable market interest rates. In the future, our market risk exposure generally will be limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured limits. We monitor the financial condition of the financial institutions in which our accounts are maintained and have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of our customers with respect to trade receivables. Generally, no collateral is required as a condition of sale. Our consideration of the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon current market conditions and other factors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Table of Contents

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of ~~April 3, 2022.~~July 2, 2023.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange ~~Commissions’s~~Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~April 3, 2022~~July 2, 2023 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and

~~Table of Contents~~

included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As of ~~April 3, 2022,~~July 2, 2023, we have material weaknesses in the Control Environment, Risk Assessment and Control Activities components of the COSO framework. As an emerging growth company, we have limited accounting and finance resources. We continue to implement policies, procedures, and internal controls to improve our control environment and risk assessment and we have hired certain employees that have had a limited period of time in their roles. The material weakness in Control Activities has resulted in deficiencies in the design and implementation of controls, that individually, or in the aggregate, were considered a material weakness in certain processes, including financial reporting and administration of accounting information technology primarily related to our inventory and time recording systems that impact revenue recording, as well as the operation of our controls in the expenditures process. These material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures in the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plan

To address our material weaknesses, we have developed a remediation plan focused on the hiring and training of accounting and finance resources with the appropriate background and experiences, including the hiring of a corporate controller or other senior accounting position, and the design and implementation of controls in the financial reporting, administration of accounting information technology, and expenditures processes.

Prior to the filing of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we hired a corporate controller and started remediating certain deficiencies in our administration of accounting information technology process.

While we believe that these efforts will improve our internal control over financial reporting, the design and implementation of our remediation plan is ongoing and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over a sustained period. The actions we are taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as ~~audit committee~~Audit Committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation plan and evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Until these weaknesses are remediated, we will continue to perform additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

~~Other than our remediation efforts discussed above, there~~There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factor

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, except for the risk ~~factors~~factor set forth below.

Recent events affecting the financial services industry could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ~~recent~~ closures in early-2023 of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corporation, as well as acquisitions of Credit Suisse and First Republic Bank at regulators’ behest, have created bank-specific and broader financial institution

~~Table of Contents~~

liquidity risks and concerns. While we did not have deposits at any of these institutions, uncertainty remains over potential impacts of such bank closures and acquisitions on the financial markets and broader global economy, and our business, our customers and suppliers, and/or our industry as a whole may be adversely impacted in ways that we cannot predict at this time.

If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, our ability to access our existing cash and cash equivalents may be threatened. In addition, if our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds, such parties' ability to pay or perform their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Moreover, continued volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets could affect our ability to obtain future financing on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.
