SHIM Shimmick Corporation

Shimmick Corp. (NASDAQ: SHIM) (“Shimmick” or the “Company”), a leading water infrastructure company, today announced a settlement in its Golden Gate Bridge Project (the “GGB Project” or “project”). The litigation associated with this project was notably the Company’s last major outstanding legal claim that related to its legacy projects.

Under the terms of the settlement and through its joint venture with Danny’s Construction Co. LLC, Shimmick/Danny’s Joint Venture (“SDJV”), Shimmick will receive $97 million before the end of 2024 as reimbursement for costs incurred on the GGB Project. In addition, the outstanding scope of work will be reduced by approximately $6.0 million.

“We are pleased to resolve this claim in a constructive manner, as this settlement reflects a major step forward in our transformation plan. This resolution enables us to concentrate additional attention and financial resources on advancing our core projects, while strengthening Shimmick's liquidity position,” said Steve Richards, Chief Executive Officer of Shimmick. “Our work on this project included the installation of a suicide deterrent net system, an important outcome to benefit Californians. We take immense pride in the outstanding work our team has done on this challenging and vital project and look forward to utilizing these talented team members on other Shimmick projects in the near future.”

Shimmick is expected to reach substantial completion of its onsite portions of the project in the third quarter of 2025 with remaining work after that related to a subcontractor’s offsite equipment fabrication activities.

Golden Gate Bridge Project Settlement

The settlement between SDJV and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (the “District”) was entered into October 31, 2024.

Under the terms of the settlement, SDJV will receive total settlement proceeds of $97 million, a contract change order for reduced scope of work of $6.0 million, and a contract change order for extension of project completion. The District is required to pay SDJV before the end of 2024.

After paying subcontractor pass-through claims, Shimmick plans to use the remaining proceeds for ongoing operations, including completion of the GGB Project.

Transformation Plan Update and Certain Preliminary Financial Results

The Company continues to advance its strategic transformation toward a more capital-efficient business model with optimized operating costs. Key progress includes:

• Completion of the previously announced sale-leaseback of the Company’s equipment yard in Tracy, California, which is likely to result in an approximately $17 million gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
• A strategic decision to enhance the Company’s current enterprise resource planning (ERP) system rather than implementing a new platform which, due to prior investments and remaining contractual obligations, is expected to result in a one-time, primarily non-cash expense of approximately $16 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company expects this system upgrade to result in reduced overhead in future periods.

Additional transformation initiatives are progressing as planned. The Company plans to provide further updates in future communications.

For the fiscal third quarter of 2024, continued losses in both legacy and foundation projects are expected to largely offset the impact of the GGB Project settlement, after accounting for subcontractor, legal and other costs as well as previously accrued revenue. As a result, the Company expects the net income/loss attributable to the company for the quarter to be between breakeven and a small loss. Shimmick expects to release its full fiscal 2024 third quarter results November 12, 2024.
