What's Driving SKYT's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

42/42 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from SkyWater Technology, Inc's 10-Q filed 2026-05-08 — Q1 FY2026 (quarter ended March 29, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Revenue surged 162% YoY to $160.7M in Q1 2026, driven by $86.3M from newly acquired Fab 25 Texas facility, though net loss widened to $12.3M due to integration costs and defense spending headwinds.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $160.7M+162% YoY

Wafer Services$95.8M+1173% YoY

ATS Development$54.9M+5% YoY

Advanced compute up $19.9M; aerospace/defense declined $27.2M due to government policy shifts and two programs entering stop-work/termination.

Tools$9.9M+702% YoY

Ramp at Florida facility drove $8.7M increase in tool installations and qualification activity.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of revenue$128.5M+173% YoY

Fab 25 operations contributed $67.2M; Legacy SkyWater $4.7M tool installation costs at Florida facility; offset by $1.4M CHIPS Act Section 48D tax credit benefits.

Selling, general, and administrative$32.4M+116% YoY

$6.5M from Fab 25 acquisition; $6.9M Legacy SkyWater consulting fees; $2.5M legal/consulting for IonQ transaction; $1.0M Fab 25 integration costs.

Research and development$5.0M+54% YoY

$0.6M incremental from Fab 25; $0.7M engineering labor reallocated to internal R&D from lower customer activity.

Margins: Gross margin compressed to 20.0% from 23.3% YoY, primarily due to tool margin degradation at Legacy SkyWater ($0.7M core loss plus $4.7M installation costs) and integration of Fab 25. Operating loss widened to $(5.3)M from $(4.0)M YoY despite 162% revenue growth, reflecting acquisition-related costs and defense spending headwinds.

AI Insight: SKYT Financial Trends

Q3 2025 revenue surge to $151M and a $144M net income spike distort the trend — underlying operations remain loss-making with rising debt.

Revenue jumped from $59M in Q2 2025 to $171M in Q4 2025, but Q1 2026 pulled back to $161M, suggesting the ramp is plateauing.

Operating income turned negative again in Q1 2026 at -$5M, continuing losses seen in Q1 and Q2 2025 despite higher revenue.

Total debt nearly tripled from $65M in Q1 2025 to $215M in Q1 2026, while equity grew from $53M to $180M — leverage has risen sharply.

Operating cash flow remains highly volatile: +$56M in Q1 2025, -$47M in Q3 2025, -$36M in Q4 2025, recovering to +$28M in Q1 2026.

The $144M Q3 2025 net income appears one-time; operating income that quarter was only $8M — sustainability of earnings is unproven.

Debt surged to $229M in Q4 2025 from $65M in Q1 2025; monitor whether free cash flow can service this elevated obligation.

Operating cash flow turned positive at $28M in Q1 2026 after two consecutive deeply negative quarters — watch for sustained improvement.
