Additional transformation initiatives are progressing as planned. The Company plans to provide further updates in future communications.

“We believe the GGB Project settlement is a major step forward in our progress to a more capital light focused business focused on capturing the growth opportunity in the California water and critical infrastructure market,” said Steve Richards, Chief Executive Officer of Shimmick.

"We don’t expect the election to have a material impact as infrastructure typically has bipartisan support and the recently passed $10 billion water-focused California Proposition 4 should provide additional market support," Mr. Richards continued.

Financial Results

A summary of our results is included in the table below:

The following table presents revenue and gross margin data for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023:

Projects started after the AECOM Sale Transactions ("Shimmick Projects") have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. Revenue recognized on Shimmick Projects was $101 million and $110 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The $9 million decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $28 million decrease from lower activity on existing jobs and jobs winding down partially offset by $19 million of revenue from a new water infrastructure job.

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $6 million and $15 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in the gross margin was primarily the result of a $12 million decrease in gross margin on existing jobs that are winding down and completing partially offset by a $3 million increase in margin from a new water infrastructure job.

Foundations Projects

The Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of our non-core Foundations Projects in the second quarter of 2024 and will be winding down any remaining work during the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year. As a result, revenue from Foundations Projects will decline during the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year. Revenue recognized on Foundations Projects was $11 million and $12 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in revenue was the result of timing of jobs winding down.

Gross margin recognized on Foundations Projects was $(2) million and $(1) million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in gross margin was the result of cost overruns and jobs winding down.

Legacy Projects

As part of the AECOM Sale Transactions, we assumed the Legacy Projects and backlog that were started under AECOM. Legacy Projects revenue was flat at $54 million for each of the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023. Included in the quarter is a $31 million adjustment to revenue to reflect the GGB Project settlement amount. Without the adjustment, Legacy Project revenue would have declined by $31 million reflecting the continued wind down of the Legacy Projects.

Gross margin was $8 million and $3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily as a result of the GGB Project settlement which was partially offset by continued impacts of Legacy Projects winding down, as well as additional legal fees to pursue contract modifications and recoveries and additional cost overruns on other Legacy Loss Projects (as defined below).

A subset of Legacy Projects ("Legacy Loss Projects") have experienced significant cost overruns due to the COVID pandemic, design issues, legal costs and other factors. In the Legacy Loss Projects, we have recognized the estimated costs to complete and the loss expected from these projects. If the estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a further loss, the entire amount of the additional loss expected over the life of the project is recognized as a period cost in the cost of revenue. As these Legacy Loss Projects continue to wind down to completion, no further gross margin will be recognized and in some cases, there may be additional costs associated with these projects. Revenue recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $49 million and $27 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily as a result of the GGB Project settlement discussed above, partially offset by continued impacts of other Legacy Loss Projects winding down. Gross margin recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $10 million and $(1) million for the three months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively, the increase of which is primarily as a result of the GGB Project settlement.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained approximately flat period over period.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was $1 million, compared to earnings of $3 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by increased costs due to schedule extensions experienced during the nine months ended September 27, 2024.

Gain on sale of assets

Gain on sale of assets decreased by $13 million primarily due to the gain recognized on the sale of non-core business contracts for $30 million during the three months ended September 29, 2023 that did not reoccur during the nine months ended September 27, 2024, partially offset by the $17 million gain recognized on the transaction for the sale-leaseback of our equipment yard in Tracy, California during the three months ended September 27, 2024.

ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs

ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs increased by $16 million due to the strategic decision to enhance the Company’s current ERP system rather than implementing a new platform which, due to prior capitalized costs and remaining contractual obligations, resulted in a one-time charge of $16 million recorded in the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $2 million primarily due to interest charges on the Credit Facility which was not entered into until May 20, 2024.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net remained approximately flat period over period.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was flat period over period. Due to an expected tax loss for fiscal year ending 2024, no taxable income or tax expense is anticipated for 2024, and no taxable income was recorded for the prior year three months ended September 29, 2023.

Net (loss) income

Net (loss) income decreased by $36 million to a net loss of $2 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024, primarily due to an increase in ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs of $16 million, a decrease in gain on the sale of assets of $13 million, decrease in gross margin of $5 million, increase of interest expense of $2 million and decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $2 million all as described above.

Diluted loss per common share was $(0.05) for the three months ended September 27, 2024, compared to diluted income per common share of $1.58 for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted net income was $24 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024, compared to an adjusted net income of $37 million for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted diluted income per common share was $0.72 for the three months ended September 27, 2024, compared to $1.67 for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $30 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024, compared to $42 million for the same period in 2023.

Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance

For the full 2024 fiscal year, we now expect:

• After excluding Foundations Projects revenue of $64 million for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2023, Shimmick Projects revenue to remain generally flat with gross margin between 4 to 7 percent

• Legacy Projects revenue of $90 to $95 million with negative gross margin of (40%) to (50%), due to the Legacy Loss Project settlement, additional costs recorded for a Legacy Loss Project related to pending change orders and other cost overruns

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Adjusted net income represents Net (loss) income attributable to Shimmick Corporation adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation, ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs, legal fees and other costs for Legacy Projects and other costs. We have also made an adjustment for transformation costs we have incurred including advisory costs as we settle outstanding claims, exit the Legacy Projects and transform the Company into a water-focused business.

We have included Adjusted net income in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the income and expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted net income can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations.

Our use of Adjusted net income as an analytical tool has limitations, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted net income does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs,

• Adjusted net income does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, and

• other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted net income or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted net income alongside Net (loss) income attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Table A

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents our Net (loss) income attributable to Shimmick Corporation before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation, ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs, legal fees and other costs for Legacy Projects and other costs. We have also made an adjustment for transformation costs we have incurred including advisory costs as we settle outstanding claims, exit the Legacy Projects and transform the Company into a water-focused business.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the income and expenses eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool has limitations, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized might have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements,

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs,

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation,

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest or tax payments that would reduce the cash available to us, and

• other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside Net (loss) income attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
