Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (except per share information) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The 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”), and SkyWater Florida, Inc. (“SkyWater Florida”), as well as 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 stockholder. The Company reports noncontrolling interests for amounts that are attributable to ownership interests other than the Company’s common shareholders. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows are for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar year. The fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023 each contained 52 weeks.

Liquidity and Cash Requirements

For the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, the Company incurred net losses attributable to SkyWater Technology, Inc. of $6,793, $30,756, and $39,593, respectively. As of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $18,844 and $18,382, 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 6 – 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 November 19, 2024, the Revolver matures on December 31, 2028 and provides for a maximum revolving facility amount of $130,000. The Company has also obtained a support letter from Oxbow Industries, LLC (“Oxbow Industries”), an affiliate of the Company’s principal stockholder, 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 March 18, 2026. Based upon SkyWater’s operational forecasts, cash and cash equivalents on hand, available borrowings on the Revolver, and the support letter from Oxbow Industries, as needed, 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 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the fiscal years 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 Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net 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 loss per common share is computed by dividing the net 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 fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, 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 December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, there were restricted stock units and stock options totaling 1,269,134, 2,294,000 and 2,209,000, 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 fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023:


	Fiscal Year Ended
