$30 Million in Federal Funding to Advance Innovation and Production of Next-Generation GaN Chips at GlobalFoundries Fab in Vermont

A world leader in RF semiconductor manufacturing, GF’s Vermont Fab moves closer to large-scale production of next-generation gallium nitride chips 

ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt., October 17, 2022 — U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy and GlobalFoundries (Nasdaq: GFS) (GF), a global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, today announced the award of $30 million in federal funding to advance the development and production of next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon semiconductors at GF’s facility in Essex Junction, Vermont. With their unique ability to handle significant heat and power levels, GaN semiconductors are positioned to enable game-changing performance and efficiency in applications including 5G and 6G smartphones, RF wireless infrastructure, electric vehicles, power grids, solar energy, and other technologies. 

The announcement was made at an event today at GF’s Fab attended by Sen. Leahy, GF President and CEO Dr. Thomas Caulfield, GF Vermont Fab Vice President and General Manager Ken McAvey, Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation President Frank Cioffi, GF Fab team members, and other guests. The $30 million federal funding, secured by Sen. Leahy as an appropriation in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2022, will enable GF to purchase tools and extend development and implementation of 200mm GaN wafer manufacturing. The incorporation of scaled GaN manufacturing into the Fab’s capabilities furthers the facility’s longstanding global leadership in RF semiconductor technology, and positions GF for leadership in making chips for high-power applications including electric vehicles, industrial motors, and energy applications. 

“Senator Leahy’s leadership and dedication have been instrumental to the growth and success of semiconductor manufacturing in Vermont,” said Dr. Caulfield. “On behalf of the entire GF team, I thank Senator Leahy for his steadfast support of GF throughout his many years in office. As seen with today’s announcement, he has been a champion of putting this facility on the global forefront of semiconductor manufacturing.  With this new federal funding, and the potential for further support in the 2023 federal budget, GF is well-positioned to become a global leader in GaN chip manufacturing—right here in Vermont.” 

“Chips used all around the world are made right here in Essex Junction by this dedicated workforce,” said Senator Leahy. “I am extremely proud of that, and it’s something all Vermonters and Americans can take pride in. This funding is an investment in U.S. leadership in improved technology for chips that connect everything around us and power our handheld devices—with GlobalFoundries and Vermonters leading the way.” 

This Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) was entered into by the Defense Microelectronics Activity via the Trusted Access Program Office (TAPO) of the U.S. Department of Defense. TAPO’s primary mission is to procure advanced semiconductors for the Departments most critical and sensitive weapons systems platforms. TAPO has been supporting dual use (both civilian and military applications) GaN on silicon development efforts since 2019 as GaN provides a stable semiconductor suitable in high power, high frequency devices the DoD needs to maintain technology advantage for the United States. This current development phase plans to leverage previous TAPO successes and continue maturing this dual use technology.    

“GlobalFoundries has been a critical partner to the Trusted Access Program Office, enabling semiconductor assurance (Trust) to advanced semiconductor technologies for the Department’s most advanced weapon systems platforms. This engagement is just one step the DoD is taking to ensure the U.S. has continued access to advanced microelectronics technologies such as gallium nitride,” said DMEA Director Dr. Nicholas Martin. 

This $30 million agreement is the latest federal investment to support GaN at GF’s Vermont Fab. In fiscal years 2020 and 2021, Sen. Leahy secured a total of $10 million for research and development related to advancing GaN technology at the facility, paving the way for this new award. 

GF’s facility in Essex Junction, Vermont, near Burlington, was among the first major semiconductor manufacturing sites in the United States. Today nearly 2,000 GF employees work at the site, with a manufacturing capacity of more than 600,000 wafers per year. Built on GF’s differentiated technologies, these GF-made chips are used in smartphones, automobiles, and communications infrastructure applications around the world. The Fab is a Trusted Foundry and manufactures secure chips in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, for use in some of the nation’s most sensitive aerospace and defense systems.

Explore pathways to success with the Global Journey Re-Entry Program 

by Kassidy Berger 

GF employee’s journey led to the creation of a new program to help professionals who have taken a career break return to the workforce 

Bika Carter

Bika Carter, director of External R&D under GF Labs, at GlobalFoundries (GF), knew what it was like to step back into her career after taking a seven-year career break for family reasons. When she considered re-entering a career in tech, Carter harbored feelings of self-doubt if she could get back into a fast-paced technical industry. Understanding the impact of a supportive network and the need for a ramp, Carter championed the creation of the Global Journey Re-Entry Program.  

Since then, Carter has recognized the leadership, communication, and program management skills she gained during her career break—whether it was her tutoring experience or leadership skills she learned while driving various volunteer programs. Carter credits her managers, family, and mentors for creating a network of support which made her re-entry possible. 

GF’s Global Journey program aims to create a network for re-launchers coming back into the workforce after a voluntary break.  This provides individuals with an extra layer of support when coming back into the workplace. The development of this program has also brought together GF team members who happen to be re-launchers as well. As part of GF’s wider Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals, the Global Journey Re-Entry program aims to empower candidates to bring their unique talents and experiences to contribute to the dynamic working environment that drives GF success. Through impactful roles, program participants will refresh and gain skills to transition to a full-time position. 

GF is part of the STEM Reentry Task Force, the groundbreaking career reentry initiative co-led by the Society of Women Engineers and iRelaunch. GF joined the STEM Reentry Task Force in 2020, and it has been instrumental in the development of the Global Journey program. 

In a November 2012 article in the Harvard Business Review, Carol Fishman Cohen defined a returnship as “a short-term paid position designed for a professional who’d been out of the workforce for several years—basically, an internship for an experienced worker whose time off might scare recruiters away.” 

In 2007, Cohen co-founded iRelaunch, an organization which works with employers to build and expand their career re-entry programs. iRelaunch and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) founded the STEM Reentry Task Force in 2015 to grow the number of employers offering return to work programs with a technical focus.  

iRelaunch defines re-launchers as “mid-to-senior level professionals who have taken a career break of two years or more and want to return to work.” 

There are a multitude of reasons for one to take a career break. Others may leave the workforce to pursue entrepreneurial interests, military service, elder care or alternate career paths. 

Karen Nummy, a distinguished member of GF’s Technical Staff Process Integration team, said she returned to work after six years away from the semiconductor industry. While grateful for the opportunity, she was also concerned about the rapid pace of technology advancement and that she would feel passed by. 

“But what I found was my basic technical knowledge and problem-solving skills were still very valuable,” Nummy said. “The largest learning curve were all the new systems and reconnecting to the larger team. The time away from work made me realize how much I enjoy being part of a team solving technical problems. I think I returned to work with renewed energy and excitement.” 

Another GF colleague, Steven Soss, DMTS in TEQ, said he returned to the semiconductor industry after taking a five-year break to explore entrepreneurship. When it was time to return to the workforce, he felt concerned that he had missed an entire generation of semiconductor technology development. He also received feedback from hiring managers at other companies that the “two-year hole” on his resume, during which he was working as an entrepreneur, was an area of concern and even a sign of “unemployability.” 

“I firmly believe that my time away from the semiconductor industry made me a better employee,” Soss said. “I am excited to see the diverse range of candidates that the Global Journey program will bring into GF.” 

The program’s pilot phase recently closed, and GF is proud to celebrate the achievements of all its participants, including re-launcher Lou Ann Martin. Martin joined GF’s Design Enablement team and was the very first ‘graduate’ of the Global Journey program. 

“What a tremendous opportunity it is to be part of the GlobalFoundries technical community. Leaving the technical field at IBM for more than 10 years to raise four children, I never imagined there would be a place for me again in a STEM career,” said Martin. “Even in preparation for applying, I found helpful feedback and encouragement from the Global Journey Re-Entry team. Their support was amazing in helping me navigate the first few months back in the office. I could not speak more highly of the program and its purpose, truly life changing for me.”

Adjusted Financial Measures (Non-IFRS)

In addition to the financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, this press release includes the following adjusted non-IFRS metrics: adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for share-based compensation expense. We define adjusted operating profit as profit from operations adjusted for share-based compensation expense. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for share-based compensation expense. We define adjusted diluted EPS as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the dilutive shares. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding the impact of finance expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, transaction gains and associated expenses, restructuring charges and litigation settlements.

We believe that in addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, these adjusted non-IFRS measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring our financial performance and highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. These adjusted non-IFRS financial measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance that excludes certain gains, losses and non-cash charges that occur relatively infrequently and/or that we consider to be unrelated to our core operations. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures, please refer to “Unaudited Reconciliation of IFRS to Adjusted Non-IFRS” table above.

Adjusted non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Our presentation of adjusted non-IFRS measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently, which may limit their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. These forward-looking statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial outlook, future guidance, product development, business strategy and plans, and market trends, opportunities and positioning. These statements are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates, forecasts, projections and limited information available at the time they are made. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “intend,” “shall,” “outlook,” “on track,” and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are subject to a broad variety of risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown. Any inaccuracy in our assumptions and estimates could affect the realization of the expectations or forecasts in these forward-looking statements. For example, our business could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and actions taken in response to such events; the market for our products may develop more slowly than expected or than it has in the past; our operating results may fluctuate more than expected; there may be significant fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows related to our revenue recognition or otherwise; a network or data security incident that allows unauthorized access to our network or data or our customers’ data could damage our reputation; we could experience interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology, including a service outage; and global economic conditions could deteriorate. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing market, and new risks may emerge from time to time. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These statements are based on our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and projections in light of information currently available to us, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we, nor any other person, assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. Recipients are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made and should not be construed as statements of fact. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any information or any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, subsequent events, or any other circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties, please refer to the risk factors and cautionary statements in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F, current reports on Form 6-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
