Malta, NY, Nov. 30, 2021 – GlobalFoundries Inc. (GF) (Nasdaq: GFS) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Key Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Record adjusted EBITDA margins of 30% which grew 84% year-over-year demonstrating continued progress to our target operating model.
  • Cash flows from operations of $1.1 billion.

“The third quarter marked the ongoing acceleration of our strategy to lead in the pervasive semiconductor market and demonstrated continued progress towards our target financial model,” said Tom Caulfield, CEO of GF. “Our revenue growth was primarily driven by higher wafer output and continued improvement in mix as our differentiated solutions become a larger portion of our total business. We expect continued revenue and profit growth in the fourth quarter. We are also excited to begin our journey as a public company. Our IPO in October was an outcome of more than a decade of dedication and commitment of our more than 15,000 employees to build an atscale global semiconductor manufacturer with strong technological differentiation.”

The guidance provided above contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbors created therein. The guidance includes our management’s beliefs and assumptions and is based on information currently available. GF has not provided a reconciliation of its Fourth Quarter fiscal quarter outlook for non-International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) gross margin, non-IFRS operating profit margin, non-IFRS EPS or Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA Margin because estimates of all of the reconciling items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts. It is difficult to reasonably provide a forwardlooking estimate between such forward-looking non-IFRS measures and the comparable forward-looking IFRS measures. Certain factors that are materially significant to GF’s ability to estimate these items are out of its control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Adjusted Financial Measures

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

We believe that in addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, these non-IFRS measures are useful in evaluating our business and the underlying trends that are affecting our performance. These 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. These non-IFRS measures are used by both our management and our board of directors, together with the comparable IFRS information, in evaluating our current performance and planning future business activities.

We believe that these non-IFRS measures, when used in conjunction with our IFRS financial information, also allow investors and users of our financial statements to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry. However, 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 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.

Malta, New York, and Dearborn, Mich., Nov. 18, 2021 – GlobalFoundries Inc.

The companies have signed a non-binding agreement that opens the door for GF to create further semiconductor supply for Ford’s current vehicle lineup and joint research and development to address the growing demand for feature-rich chips to support the automotive industry. These could include semiconductor solutions for ADAS, battery management systems, and in-vehicle networking for an automated, connected, and electrified future. GF and Ford also will explore expanded semiconductor manufacturing opportunities to support the automotive industry.  

“It’s critical that we create new ways of working with suppliers to give Ford – and America – greater independence in delivering the technologies and features our customers will most value in the future,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “This agreement is just the beginning, and a key part of our plan to vertically integrate key technologies and capabilities that will differentiate Ford far into the future.”  

“GF is committed to building innovative alliances with the world’s leading companies to enable the features in products that are pervasive throughout people’s lives,” said Tom Caulfield, GF CEO. “Our agreement with Ford is a key step forward in strengthening our cooperation and partnership with automakers to spur innovation, bring new features to market faster, and ensure long-term, supply-demand balance.” 

The announcement is consistent with both companies’ commitment to build innovative business relationships to regain supply-demand balance for chips in the auto industry as well as efforts to further accelerate technology innovation for the U.S. auto industry. The collaboration leverages both companies’ strengths to better compete, innovate and serve customers. 

This strategic collaboration does not involve cross-ownership between the two companies.
