Shimmick Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results – Provides Update on Transformation Plan

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shimmick Corp. (NASDAQ: SHIM), a leading water infrastructure company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights

Legacy Project Settlement and Sale of Tracy Equipment Yard

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement involving change orders and additional compensation sought for a federal lock and dam project. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the United States Army Corps of Engineers agreed to pay the Company $33 million, which is expected to be collected in fiscal year 2024. By entering into the settlement, the Company avoided the legal fees and distraction associated with several years of expected litigation.

The settlement amount is recorded in contract assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the settlement and previously estimated contract revenue, the Company recognized a net loss of $30 million on the project, which includes a $23 million reduction to revenue and a $7 million adjustment to the forward loss reserve, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024.

The Company continues to pursue the litigation on the second of the two large Legacy Loss Projects with a trial scheduled for later this year.

On August 9, 2024, we completed the previously disclosed transaction for the sale-leaseback of our equipment yard in Tracy, California. The agreement consummated the sale of the equipment yard for $20.5 million and allows us to continue using the property pursuant to a separately executed seven-year lease. We received net proceeds of $17 million after adjustments for prepaid rent through February 2026 and related closing costs. The equipment yard had a net book value of approximately $3 million and the remaining $17 million of net proceeds received from the transaction were used to repay borrowings under the MidCap Revolving Credit Facility.

Transformation Plan Update

Given Shimmick’s track-record of winning and delivering complex water and other critical infrastructure projects in California, a market which has experienced consistent annual growth with forecasted increases in both the size and complexity of these target projects over the next decade, the Company has announced today the following initiatives as part of our transformation plan to increase our focus on the California water and critical infrastructure market:

“With our transformation plan progress, the previously announced sale of the assets of the foundation business, the sale-leaseback of the equipment yard, and the Legacy Loss Project claim settlement, we have made 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 continue to make progress on bidding activity and are winning new projects. The recently awarded Delta Diablo contract for the Cogeneration System Replacement Project highlights our strategy to focus on winning higher-margin projects in the water space. These activities will position us to meet our long-term goals of driving gross margin expansion in the future.”

(1) Shimmick Projects are those projects started after the AECOM Sale Transactions that have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure.
(2) The Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of non-core foundation projects in the second quarter of 2024 and is winding down any remaining work during the year. As the revenue will decline during the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year, the Company is reporting revenue and gross margin related to the projects separately for the periods presented (“Foundations Projects”).
(3) Legacy Projects are those projects assumed as part of the AECOM Sale Transactions, that were started under AECOM ownership. Included in the results is a net loss of $30 million, which includes a $23 million reduction to revenue and a $7 million adjustment to the forward loss reserve as a result of the settlement

Shimmick Projects   

Projects started after the AECOM Sale Transactions (“Shimmick Projects”) have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure.  Revenue recognized on Shimmick Projects was $84 million and $104 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The $20 million decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $29 million decrease from lower activity on existing jobs and jobs winding down partially offset by a $10 million increase in revenue driven by a new water infrastructure job.  

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $5 million and $9 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decline in the gross margin was primarily the result of a $7 million decrease driven by increased cost, schedule extensions and jobs winding down and completing partially offset by a $2 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 Foundation 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 $8 million and $9 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The $1 million decline in revenue was the result of timing of jobs winding down.

Gross margin recognized on Foundations Projects was $(2) million and $(7) million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase in the gross margin was the result of cost overruns incurred on two jobs during the three months ended June 30, 2023 which were substantially completed during the 2023 fiscal year.

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 $(2) million, a decline of $44 million as the Company works to complete these projects. As part of a settlement of a claim on a large Legacy Loss Project, we made a non-cash adjustment to revenue of $23 million to reflect the settlement amount. See Recent Developments for additional details. Gross margin was $(34) million, a decrease of $32 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the $30 million impact of the settlement, projects winding down and additional cost overruns on a subset of these projects (“Legacy Loss Projects”) that 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 $(7) million and $27 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, as a result of the settlement discussed above. Gross margin recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $(32) million and $(1) million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, as a result of the settlement of the claim discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

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

Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was $(2) million, compared to earnings of $8 million in the prior year period, primarily due to a favorable subcontractor settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that did not reoccur during the three months ended June 28, 2024. Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $(2) million in the three months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily driven by increased costs due to schedule extensions.

Gain on sale of assets

Gain on sale of assets increased by $4 million primarily due to the gain recognized on the sale of the assets of our non-core Foundations Projects during the second quarter of 2024.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $1 million primarily due to interest charges on the Credit Facility which was not entered into until May 20, 2024.

Other expense (income), net

Other expense (income), net increased by $3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024 primarily due to a $1 million loss recognized on the settlement of certain claims with AECOM as well as other expenses recognized associated with the change in fair value of contingent consideration and other costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

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 June 30, 2023.

Net loss

Net loss increased by $41 million to a net loss of $51 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024, primarily due to the settlement of the claim on a large Legacy Loss Project, equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures of $9 million, as well as an increase in other expense of $4 million, partially offset by increases in the gain on the sale of assets of $4 million all as described above.

Diluted loss per common share was $(1.83) for the three months ended June 28, 2024, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(0.47) for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted net loss was $45 million for the three months ended June 28, 2024, compared to an adjusted net loss of $7 million for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted diluted loss per common share was $(1.60) for the three months ended June 28, 2024, compared to $(0.31) for the same period in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $(40) million for the three months ended June 28, 2024, compared to $(2) million for the same period in 2023.

Backlog was $923 million as of June 28, 2024.

We have also made an adjustment for transformation costs we have and expect to incur 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 loss 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 can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted net loss provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations.

Our use of Adjusted net loss 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 alongside Net loss attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
