"Our transformation is clearly gaining momentum, supported by strong execution and solid operating performance," said Ural Yal, Chief Executive Officer of Shimmick. "We surpassed $1 billion in monthly bidding volume for the first time ever this quarter, delivered consistent win rates, and grew our Shimmick Projects revenue and gross margin in the third quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Our book-to-burn ratio improved to 1.7x, resulting in backlog growth for the first time in over eight quarters, providing strong visibility into 2026.

"We are seeing particularly strong traction in California and Texas markets, where our capabilities align well with growing water and electrical infrastructure demand," Yal continued. "In addition, bid volumes in our electrical business, Axia, continue to increase, especially across water, manufacturing and data center markets, positioning us well for future success. With new bids and pending awards, we expect to see strong growth in our electrical backlog in the next two quarters. The progress we are seeing across our business reflects the strength of our strategy we implemented at the beginning of 2025, disciplined execution, and momentum building for sustained growth. With strong overall bidding activity, consistent execution and positive market conditions, we continue to be optimistic about 2026."

<sup>(1) Shimmick Projects are those projects started after prior ownership that have focused on water, climate resilience, energy transition, and sustainable transportation.

(2) Projects that started under prior ownership or focus on foundation drilling are referred to as "Non-Core Projects" (formerly referred to as "Legacy and Foundations Projects"). The Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of foundation drilling Non-Core Projects in the second quarter of 2024 and continued to wind down remaining work during the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year and nine months ended October 3, 2025. As a result, revenue from foundation drilling Non-Core Projects will continue to decline during the remainder of the 2025 fiscal year.</sup>

Shimmick Projects

Projects started after the AECOM Sale Transaction ("Shimmick Projects") have focused on critical infrastructure aligned with our strategy, including water, climate resilience, energy transition and sustainable transportation. Revenue recognized on Shimmick Projects was $107 million and $101 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The $6 million increase in revenue was primarily the result of $25 million of revenue from new projects ramping up, partially offset by a $19 million decrease from lower activity on existing projects and projects winding down.

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $10 million and $6 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The $4 million increase in the gross margin was primarily the result of $8 million of increases of gross margin from new higher margin projects ramping up, partially offset by $4 million of decreases in gross margin from lower activity on existing projects and projects winding down.

Non-Core Projects

As part of the AECOM Sale Transaction, we acquired projects and backlog that were started under prior ownership (formerly referred to as "Legacy and Foundations Projects"). Separately, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of our foundation drilling Non-Core Projects in the second quarter of 2024 and continued to wind down the remaining work which is largely completed.

Non-Core Projects revenue was $35 million and $65 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The $30 million decrease was primarily the result of the favorable one-time GGB Project settlement, which included a $31 million increase to revenue during the three months ended September 27, 2024 and which did not reoccur during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Gross margin recognized on Non-Core Projects was $1 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 as compared to $6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The $5 million decrease was primarily the result of the favorable GGB Project settlement, which contributed $11 million to gross margin during the three months ended September 27, 2024, partially offset by $3 million of costs during the three months ended September 27, 2024 which did not reoccur during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

A subset of Non-Core Projects ("Non-Core Loss Projects") have experienced significant cost overruns due to the COVID pandemic, design issues, legal costs and other factors. In the Non-Core 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 Non-Core 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 that could lower gross margin. Revenue recognized on these Non-Core Loss Projects was $31 million and $49 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. Gross margin recognized on these Non-Core Loss Projects was $1 million and $10 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The change in gross margin was primarily the result of the GGB Project settlement discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024 primarily as the result of increased legal costs during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased by $1 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025 primarily as the result of increased costs due to schedule extensions experienced during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Gain on sale of assets, net

Gain on sale of assets, net decreased by $17 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025 primarily due to the gain recognized on the transaction for the sale-leaseback of our equipment yard in Tracy, California during the three months ended September 27, 2024 that did not reoccur during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $1 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025 primarily due to reduced average long term debt balances outstanding during the three months ended October 3, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Other (income) expense, net

Other (income) expense, net increased by $1 million during the three months ended October 3, 2025 primarily as the result of expenses recognized associated with the change in fair value of contingent consideration and other costs incurred during the three months ended September 27, 2024 which did not reoccur during the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Income tax expense

Due to an expected tax loss for the fiscal year ending 2025 and a realized tax loss for the fiscal year ended 2024, no income tax expense was recorded for either the three months ended October 3, 2025 or the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Net loss

Net loss increased by $3 million to a net loss of $4 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025, primarily due to a $17 million decrease in gain on sale of assets, net, a decrease in gross margin of $1 million, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1 million and a decrease in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $1 million, partially offset by a decrease in ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs of $16 million, an increase in other (income) expense, net of $1 million and a decrease in interest expense of $1 million, all as described above.

Diluted loss per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $(0.12) for the three months ended October 3, 2025, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(0.05) for the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Adjusted net income was less than $1 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025, compared to adjusted net income of $24 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Adjusted diluted (loss) income per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $(0.01) for the three months ended October 3, 2025, compared to $0.72 for the three months ended September 27, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025, compared to $30 million for the three months ended September 27, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of the gain recognized on the transaction for the sale-leaseback of our equipment yard in Tracy, California, which contributed $17 million to net loss, and the favorable one-time GGB Project settlement, which contributed $11 million to gross margin, both of which occurred during third quarter 2024 and did not reoccur in third quarter 2025.

"Shimmick's third quarter performance reflects our continued progress in executing our transition strategy and winning the right way. Notably, this marks the first quarter since early 2023 where our book-to-burn ratio exceeded 1.0x, fueled by $190 million in new project awards. We also delivered positive adjusted EBITDA of $4 million, for the first time in four quarters, demonstrating meaningful operational momentum. As we close out 2025 and look ahead to 2026, our third quarter performance reinforces our confidence in our trajectory. We are pleased to reaffirm our full year 2025 guidance and now anticipate full year revenue in the higher end of the provided range and adjusted EBITDA in the lower end of the provided range," said Todd Yoder, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. 

Outlook and Guidance

We are reaffirming our full year 2025 fiscal year guidance and expect:

• Shimmick Projects revenue in the range of $405 million and $415 million, with overall gross margin between 9% and 12%
• Non-Core Projects revenue in the range of $80 million and $90 million, with overall gross margin between (15%) and (5%)
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA between $5 million and $15 million

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Income 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 Non-Core 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 Non-Core 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:

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

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.

(3) Consists of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims relating to Non-Core Projects. (4) Consists of transaction-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration remaining after the impact of transactions with our prior owner.

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 Non-Core 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 Non-Core 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:

• 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.
