Not-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide supplemental non-GAAP financial information that our management utilizes to evaluate our ongoing financial functioning and provide additional insight to investors as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results. Nosotros provide non-GAAP gross turn a profit, non-GAAP gross margin, not-GAAP net loss to shareholders, and not-GAAP net loss per share. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this non-GAAP presentation provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our business and to exclude certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. The not-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this earnings printing release should not be viewed equally an culling to, or more meaningful than, the reported results prepared in accord with GAAP. In addition, considering our non-GAAP measures are not determined in accordance with U.Southward. GAAP, these measures are susceptible to differing calculations, and non all comparable or peer companies may summate their not-GAAP measures in the same manner. Equally a outcome, the non-GAAP fiscal measures presented in this earnings press release may not be straight comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Nosotros also provide adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental non-GAAP measurements. We define adapted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other items that we do not view every bit indicative of our ongoing performance, including fair value changes in contingent considerations, fair value changes in warrants and management fees, inventory write-down, corporate conversion and IPO related costs, Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness, SkyWater Florida offset-up costs, cyberspace income attributable to non-controlling interests, and management transition expense. We believe adapted EBITDA is a useful operation mensurate because information technology allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital construction.
