Nature of Business 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 facility, or fab, in Minnesota and advanced packaging services from its Florida facility. SkyWater’s technology-as-a-service model leverages a strong 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, or “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.
Emerging Growth Company Status
SkyWater is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new, or revised, accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. SkyWater has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new, or revised, accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (1) is no longer an emerging growth company; or (2) has affirmatively and irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new, or revised, accounting standards as of public company effective dates.
SkyWater will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year (A) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of its initial public offering; (B) in which the Company's total annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion; or (C) when the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th; or (2) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.
