Insights

Financial Analyst

Shimmick's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges. Revenue dropped to $91 million, down from $155 million in Q2 2023, largely due to a $23 million reduction in Legacy Projects revenue. The company reported a net loss of $51 million, with Adjusted EBITDA loss at $40 million. These figures include a $30 million reduction in Legacy Projects gross margin from a settlement.

The $33 million settlement on a Legacy Loss Project is a mixed blessing. While it provides needed liquidity, it also resulted in a substantial loss. The sale-leaseback of the Tracy Equipment Yard for $20.5 million helped reduce debt but indicates a need for cash.

With a backlog of $923 million, 80% in Shimmick Projects, the company is pivoting towards water infrastructure in California. However, the transformation plan and cost-cutting measures suggest ongoing financial strain. Investors should closely monitor the progress of this strategic shift and the resolution of the remaining Legacy Loss Project.

Construction Industry Expert

Shimmick's Q2 results highlight the perils of legacy projects in the construction industry. The $33 million settlement, while avoiding prolonged litigation, resulted in a $30 million loss, underscoring the risks associated with large-scale federal projects. This scenario is not uncommon in the sector, where change orders and unforeseen complications can significantly impact profitability.

The company's pivot to focus on California's water and critical infrastructure market is strategic, given the state's projected growth in this sector. However, the success of this transformation hinges on Shimmick's ability to win higher-margin projects and effectively manage risks. The increase in regionally based estimators is a positive step, potentially leading to more accurate bids and better project execution.

The sale of non-core foundation business assets and the equipment yard sale-leaseback indicate a move towards a more capital-light model, which could improve flexibility but may impact operational capabilities. The company's ability to adapt to this new model while maintaining project quality will be important for future success.

Market Research Analyst

Shimmick's Q2 results and strategic shift reflect broader trends in the infrastructure sector. The focus on California's water infrastructure aligns with increasing demand driven by climate change and aging systems. With California's water infrastructure market projected to grow, Shimmick's specialization could position it favorably.

However, the company faces significant challenges. The gross margin for Shimmick Projects declined from 8% to 5% year-over-year, indicating pressure on profitability even in its core business. The company's guidance of 4-9% gross margin for these projects in FY2024 suggests ongoing uncertainty.

The transformation plan, including increased local estimators and overhead reduction, aims to improve bid quality and cost structure. This approach is important in a market where project complexity is increasing. However, the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen, especially given the company's current financial constraints.

Investors should watch for improvements in project win rates, gross margins and the resolution of the remaining Legacy Loss Project as indicators of the transformation plan's success.

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

• A settlement agreement on litigation on one of the two Legacy Loss Projects (a federal lock and dam project) which will result in $33 million in additional liquidity and eliminates the cost and distraction of prolonged litigation
• Reported revenue of $91 million, which includes $84 million of Shimmick Projects revenue and a $23 million reduction in Legacy Projects revenue associated with the settlement
• Reported a net loss of $51 million with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $40 million which includes a $30 million reduction in Legacy Projects gross margin associated with the settlement
• Backlog is over $923 million as of June 28, 2024, with over 80% being Shimmick Projects
• Won a new cogeneration system replacement project
• Completed sale of our Tracy Equipment Yard with net proceeds used to paydown debt
• Continued to execute on Transformation plan

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:

• Increasing the number of regionally based estimators in both southern and northern California to meet increased bid pipeline expectations, improve quality of bids and minimize risk
• Right-sizing our cost structure by reducing our overhead in non-core areas
• Redefining our operating model with a renewed focus on supporting the field to safely deliver projects on-time and on-budget for our clients across California

“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.

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 9 percent
• Legacy Projects revenue of $55 to $65 million with negative gross margin of (80%) to (90%), 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 loss and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Adjusted net loss represents Net loss attributable to Shimmick Corporation adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation, legal fees and other costs for Legacy Projects and other costs. 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:

• Adjusted net loss does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs,
• Adjusted net loss does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, and
• other companies, including companies in our industry, might calculate Adjusted net loss or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents our Net loss attributable to Shimmick Corporation before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation, legal fees and other costs for Legacy Projects and other costs. 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 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 attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
