(1) Shimmick Projects are those projects started after prior ownership that have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure.
(2) Legacy Projects are those projects started under prior ownership.
(3) Projects that focus on foundation drilling are referred to as “Foundations Projects”. The Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of non-core foundation projects in the second quarter of 2024 and continued to wind down work during the 2024 fiscal year. As a result, revenue recognized on Foundations Projects declined during the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year
 

Shimmick Projects

Shimmick Projects have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. Revenue recognized on Shimmick Projects was $80 million and $85 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The $5 million decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $17 million decrease from lower activity on existing jobs related to weather and client-driven delays partially offset by $12 million of revenue from a new water infrastructure job.

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $2 million and $9 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of a $15 million increase in cost of revenue, schedule extensions and a decrease in revenue from existing projects that are winding down, partially offset by an aggregate of $8 million of gross margin from a new water infrastructure project and ramp up of a transportation project.

Legacy Projects

As part of the AECOM Sale Transactions, we acquired the Legacy Projects and backlog. Legacy Projects revenue was $18 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025, a decline of $28 million as compared to the three months ended December 29, 2023. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by continued impacts of Legacy Projects winding down during fiscal 2024.

Gross margin was $(12) million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 as compared to $(8) million for the three months ended December 29, 2023, primarily as a result of projects winding down and additional cost overruns on Legacy Loss Projects (as defined below) that have experienced additional increases in the cost to complete as well as additional legal fees to pursue contract modifications and recoveries.

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 $11 million and $27 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Gross margin recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $(11) million and $1 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The change in gross margin was primarily the result of additional increases in the cost to complete as well as additional legal fees to pursue contract modifications and recoveries.

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 continued to wind down work during the 2024 fiscal year. As a result, revenue recognized on Foundations Projects declined during the 2024 fiscal year. Revenue recognized on Foundations Projects was $5 million and $7 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in revenue was the result of timing of jobs winding down following the asset sale.

Gross margin recognized on Foundations Projects was $(10) million and $(2) million for the three months ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in gross margin was the result of increases in cost to complete.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were consistent with prior year quarter.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures was $(4) million, compared to earnings of $1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by increased costs during the three months ended January 3, 2025 due to schedule extensions experienced on two projects which are scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Gain on sale of assets

Gain on sale of assets were consistent with the prior year quarter.

Interest expense

Interest expense remained flat compared to the prior year quarter.

Income tax benefit

Income tax benefit of $1 million was recognized for the three months ended January 3, 2025, primarily as the result of a decrease in income taxes payable. No taxable income was recognized for the three months ended December 29, 2023, thus no income tax expense was recorded.

Net loss

Net loss increased by $21 million to a net loss of $38 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross margin of $20 million stemming primarily from gross margin declines in the Foundations Projects and Legacy Loss Projects. A decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $5 million also contributed to the change, partially offset by an increase in other income, net of $3 million and increase in income tax benefit of $1 million, all as described above.

Diluted loss per common share was $(1.13) for the three months ended January 3, 2025, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(0.74) for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted net loss was $31 million for the three months ended January 3, 2025, compared to an adjusted net loss of $14 million for the same period in 2023 due to the higher net loss in the quarter. 

Adjusted diluted loss per common share was $(0.91) for the three months ended January 3, 2025, compared to $(0.59) for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(27) million for the three months ended January 3, 2025, compared to $(9) million for the same period in 2023.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Adjusted net (loss) income represents Net loss 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 in connection with settling outstanding claims, exiting the Legacy Projects and transforming the Company to shift our strategy to meet the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure and grow our business.

We have included Adjusted net (loss) 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 (loss) income can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted net (loss) income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations. 

Our use of Adjusted net (loss) 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: 

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

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents our Net loss attributable to Shimmick Corporation before interest expense, income tax benefit 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 in connection with settling outstanding claims, exiting the Legacy Projects and transforming the Company to shift our strategy to meet the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure and grow our 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:

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