Shimmick Corp

Note 1. Business and Organization

Shimmick Corporation ("Shimmick", the “Company”) was founded in 1990 in California and operated as a regional infrastructure construction contractor throughout California for nearly 30 years. In 2017, AECOM acquired Shimmick and consolidated it with its existing construction services, which included former legacy construction operations from Morrison Knudsen, Washington Group International, and others. In January 2021, we consummated the AECOM Sale Transactions and began operating as an independent company under new private ownership (the "AECOM Sale Transactions").

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shimmick Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Shimmick”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”), unless otherwise indicated. On September 12, 2023, the Company changed its name from SCCI National Holdings, Inc. to Shimmick Corporation.

On November 16, 2023, Shimmick completed its initial public offering of 3,575,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $7.00 per share (the "IPO"). The net proceeds to Shimmick from the IPO were approximately $19 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2 million and other offering expenses of $4 million. Shimmick’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on November 14, 2023.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. A statement of comprehensive income is not presented as the Company’s results of operations do not contain any items classified as comprehensive income. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023 ("Form 10-K"). Because of the seasonal nature of some of the Company's operations, the results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Change in Presentation

Certain prior period balances in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows and accompanying notes have been combined or rounded to conform to current period presentation. These changes had no impact on net loss, cash flows, assets and liabilities, or equity previously reported.

Stock Split

On October 23, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a stock split of the Company’s Common Stock. Further, the Board authorized 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $0.01 par value per share and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.01 per share. Upon the effectiveness of the filing of the amendment, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Old Common Stock”), issued and outstanding automatically, without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of such Old Common Stock, was reclassified as and became 2.7386 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. There were no fractional shares issued with respect to the reclassification of shares of Old Common Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Company has retro-actively applied the stock split made effective on October 23, 2023, to share and per share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, any information related to or dependent upon the share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 8 - Stock-Based Compensation and Note 9 - Earnings Per Share have been updated to reflect the effect of the stock split.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in “Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 to enhance disclosures of significant expense and segment profitability categories and amounts for reportable business segments. The amendment is effective in interim periods in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to improve disclosures and presentation requirements to the transparency of the income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendment is effective in interim periods in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue, Receivables and Contract Assets and Liabilities

Thefollowing table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by contract types:

Projects started after the AECOM Sale Transactions ("Shimmick Projects") have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. Projects that focus on foundation drilling are referred to as "Foundations Projects". Projects that started prior to consummation of the AECOM Sale Transactions are referred to as "Legacy Projects".

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by Shimmick Projects, Foundations Projects and Legacy Projects:

Remaining performance obligations

The Company had $1.0 billion of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of March 29, 2024. Our remaining performance obligations have a weighted average life of 2.1 years as of March 29, 2024.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets (also referred to as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and retainage receivable) and contract liabilities (also referred to as billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings and forward loss reserve), which include assets and liabilities that are dependent upon future activity:

Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payment, which usually differs from the timing of revenue recognition. As a result, the Company carries contract assets and liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These contract assets and liabilities are calculated on a contract-by-contract basis and reported on a net basis at the end of each period and are classified as current or non-current. Many of the contracts under which the Company performs work also contain retainage provisions. Retainage refers to that portion of our billings held for payment by the customer pending satisfactory completion of the project. Unless reserved, the Company assumes that all amounts retained by customers under such provisions are fully collectible. These assets and liabilities are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within “Contract assets, current,” “Contract assets, non-current,” “Contract liabilities, current" and “Contract liabilities, non-current." Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts consists of revenue recognized in excess of billings. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. The Company recognized revenueof $18.9 million during the three months ended March 29, 2024 that was included in contract liabilities as of December 29, 2023.

The Company’s timing of revenue recognition may not be consistent with its rights to bill and collect cash from its clients. Those rights are generally dependent upon advance billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of work or when services are performed. The Company’s accounts receivable represents amounts billed to clients that have yet to be collected and represent an unconditional right to cash from its clients as presented below.

Substantially all contract assets as of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023 are expected to be collected within the Company’s estimated operating cycle, except for retainage and claims pertaining to certain contracts. The Company’s operating cycle may extend beyond one year.

The Company is in the process of negotiating or awaiting approval of unapproved change orders and claims with its customers. The Company is proceeding with its contractual rights to recoup additional costs incurred from its customers based on completing work associated with change orders, including change orders with pending change order pricing, or claims related to significant changes in scope which resulted in substantial delays and additional costs in completing the work. The Company may take legal action if it and the customer cannot reach a mutually acceptable resolution.

Information about significant customers

Revisions in Estimates

Changes in contract estimates resulted in net decreases in gross margin of $18 million for the three months ended March 29, 2024, primarily due to increased forecasted cost to complete loss jobs.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 27, 2023, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with MidCap Financial Services, LLC, which originally provided a total commitment of $30 million. The Revolving Credit Facility was subsequently amended on June 30, 2023, September 22, 2023 and May 20, 2024. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility provides for a total commitment of $33 million and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 5.50%. Further, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an annual collateral management fee of 0.50% and an annual unused line fee of 0.50%. The Revolving Credit Facility includes certain financial operating covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $5 million. As of March 29, 2024, we were not in compliance with the leverage covenant set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility prior to the May 20, 2024 amendment. As a result of the May 20, 2024 amendments, the leverage covenant was replaced with the aforementioned minimum liquidity requirement. As amended, we are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2024.

Project Financing Agreement

On March 26, 2024, we entered into a Project Financing Agreement (the "Project Financing Agreement") with Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, National Liability & Fire Insurance Company and National Indemnity Company (collectively "Berkshire") which provides an advance of up to $25 million in exchange for security interest in the assigned and secured collateral specified in the Project Financing Agreement. If drawn, the advance will be used to satisfy bond and bonded contract obligations and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 4.50%. All funds provided by Berkshire under the Project Financing Agreement as well as all accrued interest are due and payable in full on March 28, 2028.

In connection with our entry into the Credit Agreement (as defined below), we terminated the Project Financing Agreement. As a result, all obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Project Financing Agreement were released and all security interests and liens granted by the Company and such subsidiaries to secure such obligations were terminated.

Credit Facility

On May 20, 2024, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers (“Borrowers”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as agent, and AECOM and BHSI as lenders, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides borrowing capacity up to $60 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to one month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a 1.00% floor, plus 3.50%. Interest on any outstanding amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will be payable, in kind or in cash at the election of the Company, on the last day of each month and upon prepayment.

The Credit Agreement replaced the Project Financing Agreement. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement matures on May 20, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement until the Maturity Date.

Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the Borrowers.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants that limit liens, asset sales and investments, in each case subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant that will be tested starting for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and event of default provisions customary for a transaction of this type.

Note 7. Income Taxes

We compute the year-to-date income tax provision by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust for discrete tax items in the period in which they occur.

The effective tax rate was 0% for the three months ended March 29, 2024, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

For the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the deferred tax provision resulting from the current year loss is completely offset by the change in valuation allowance, resulting in zero tax expense.

The Company generally anticipates azero effective tax rate due to a full valuation allowance. However, the Company may recognize a current tax expense in a specific period if its taxable income, net of available deferred tax assets in that period, exceeds the allowable utilization of tax attributes such as NOL carryforwards. The allowable limitation typically restricts the use of NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences arising from differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP and their respective tax bases, and for net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, weighing all positive and negative evidence, and are required to establish or maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if we determine that it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As of each reporting date, we consider new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact our view with regard to the future realization of deferred tax assets. We will maintain our positions with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets, including those with respect to which we continue maintaining valuation allowances, until there is sufficient new evidence to support a change in expectations. Such a change in expectations could arise due to many factors, including those impacting our forecasts of future earnings, as well as changes in the tax laws under which we operate and tax planning. It is not reasonably possible to forecast any such changes at the present time, but it is possible that, should they arise, our view of their effect on the future realization of deferred tax assets may impact materially our condensed consolidated financial statements.

After weighing all the evidence, giving more weight to the evidence that was objectively verifiable, a valuation allowance of $133 million and $124 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively, has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if the objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

On April 12, 2021, the Company’s Board approved the Company’s 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Stock Plan”). The 2021 Stock Plan reserves 5,477,200 of the Company’s shares for issuance of incentive instruments, including Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”), Non-statutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. ISOs granted under the Plan have a term of 10 years and vest over four years of service.

On November 13, 2023, the Company’s Board approved the Shimmick Corporation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan”).3,729,149 is the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (equal to ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately following the completion of the Company’s IPO on November 16, 2023 plus (ii) the reserved and authorized shares for awards under the Company’s 2021 Stock Plan that were not granted as of November 13, 2023). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan will automatically increase annually on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the 2024 fiscal year in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year unless the plan administration determines that a lesser amount should instead be issued. The shares reserved under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan are for issuance of incentive instruments, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and other share-based awards.

Total compensation expense related to stock-based grants was $1 million for each of the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based grants to employees of Shimmick outstanding as of March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $5 million and $4 million, respectively, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.1 years and 2.0 years, respectively.

For the three months ended March 29, 2024, stock option activity was as follows:

The following table summarizes the activities for unvested Shimmick restricted stock units for the three months ended March 29, 2024:

Note 9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of employee and director stock options and restricted stock units. Stock options are considered dilutive whenever the exercise price is less than the average market price of the stock during the period and antidilutive whenever the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the common stock during the period. All 3.7 million and 4.4 million employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, as they are antidilutive to the EPS calculation.

The computation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Note 10. Leases

Lease expenses recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations are comprised as follows:

Additional condensed consolidated balance sheets information related to leases is as follows:

Weighted average remaining lease term information related to leases is as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows:

Total remaining lease payments under both the Company’s operating and finance leases are as follows:

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

In the Company’s joint venture arrangements, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means as each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically, each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. In addition, the Company may be required to guarantee performance directly to the customer. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by the other joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to other claims, lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of its business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, and employment matters. The Company recognizes a liability for contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. To date, no such matters are material to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In certain contracts, there are provisions that require the Company to pay liquidated damages if the Company is responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which customers may make claims against the Company for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management has recognized relevant probable liquidated damages as of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, and believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has recorded contingent consideration as of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023 at its estimated fair value. The Company is unable to reasonably determine an estimated range of amounts of the payments that could be made due to the uncertainty of future events.

Guarantees

The Company obtains bonding on construction contracts through third-party bonding companies. As is customary in the construction industry, the Company indemnifies the third-party bonding companies for any losses incurred by it in connection with bonds that are issued. The Company has granted the third-party bonding companies a security interest in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract rights for that obligation.

The Company typically indemnifies contract owners for claims arising during the construction process and carries insurance coverage for such claims.

Letters of Credit

In the ordinary course of business and under certain contracts, the Company is required to post standby letters of credit for its insurance carriers. The Company did not have any letters of credit outstanding as of March 29, 2024 or December 29, 2023.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Sale of Assets of Foundations Projects Business

On May 10, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its non-core Foundations Projects business for total consideration of $17.5 million, consisting of $15 million in cash and a $2.5 million promissory note. The net proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under the existing Revolving Credit Facility.
