“Third quarter results show our strategy working. We returned to positive net income for the first time since the third quarter of 2023, and Shimmick Projects revenue grew 28% year over year as newer, higher-margin work replaced legacy projects,” said Ural Yal, Chief Executive Officer. “We are winning the projects we want, in the markets we want, at the risk profile we want. With strong demand in water and electrical infrastructure and a backlog that is increasingly diversified across markets, funding sources and customers, we expect to continue growing revenue and earnings from here.”

Financial Results

A summary of our results is included in the table below:

The following table sets forth selected revenue and gross margin data for the three months ended October 2, 2026 compared to the three months ended October 3, 2025:

(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”).

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 $136 million and $107 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. The $29 million increase in revenue was primarily the result of $69 million of increases in revenue from recently awarded projects ramping up. These increases were partially offset by a $14 million decrease in revenue as the result of the completion of a lower margin operation and maintenance project during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and $26 million of decreases in revenue from lower activity on projects winding down and completing.

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $18 million and $10 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. The $8 million increase in gross margin was primarily the result of recently awarded projects ramping up.

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”).

Non-Core Projects revenue was $(423) thousand and $35 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. The $36 million decrease was primarily the result of the termination of one Non-Core Project in Tennessee during the second quarter of 2026 and the Company working to wind down these Non-Core Projects.

Gross margin recognized on Non-Core Projects was $(1) million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 as compared to $1 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025. The $2 million decrease was primarily the result of favorable cost savings recognized during the three months ended October 3, 2025 which did not reoccur during the three months ended October 2, 2026.

A subset of Non-Core Projects (“Non-Core Loss Projects”) has 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 immediately 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 absent external factors 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 $(2) million and $31 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. Gross margin recognized on these Non-Core Loss Projects was $(1) million and $1 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of the Company working to wind down these Non-Core Projects.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

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

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $1 million during the three months ended October 2, 2026 primarily as the result of an increase in activity on a dam project in the current year as compared to the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Gain on sale of assets, net

Gain on sale of assets, net remained approximately flat period over period.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $1 million during the three months ended October 2, 2026 primarily due to the accelerated recognition of remaining unamortized debt issuance expenses resulting from the early repayment of the Ansley Loan Agreement in connection with a refinancing at a lower interest rate during the three months ended October 2, 2026.

Other expense (income), net

Other expense (income), net remained approximately flat period over period.

Income tax expense

Due to an expected loss for the fiscal year ending 2026 and a realized loss for the fiscal year ended 2025, no income tax expense was recorded for either the three months ended October 2, 2026 or the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Net income (loss)

Net income (loss) increased by $5 million to net income of $1 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026, primarily due to an increase in gross margin of $6 million and an increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $1 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1 million, all as described above.

Diluted income per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $0.02 for the three months ended October 2, 2026, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(0.12) for the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Adjusted net income was $4 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026, compared to adjusted net loss of $(236) thousand for the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $0.08 for the three months ended October 2, 2026, compared to $(0.01) for the three months ended October 3, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $9 million for the three months ended October 2, 2026, compared to $4 million for the three months ended October 3, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of the increase in gross margin of $6 million as described above.

“We continued to build financial momentum this quarter, delivering $9 million of adjusted EBITDA, positive net income and increasing liquidity by $20 million sequentially to $53 million,” said Todd Yoder, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “With approximately $16 million of adjusted EBITDA year-to-date, we have exceeded the low end of our original $15 million to $30 million full-year range and are narrowing our adjusted EBITDA guidance to $20 million to $25 million. As Shimmick Projects now represent approximately 98% of backlog and Non-Core activity continues to wind down, we are seeing greater stability in gross margins as the earnings and cash-generation potential of the core business begins to emerge.”

Outlook and Guidance

As of November 12, 2026, for the full 2026 fiscal year:

• We reaffirm our guidance of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA between $20 million and $25 million, representing year-over-year growth of 350% at the midpoint
• We now expect consolidated revenue⁽¹⁾ in the range of $500 million and $525 million, representing year-over-year growth of 4% at the midpoint

^{(1) Includes revenue as well as Shimmick’s proportionate share of work put-in-place from equity method joint ventures.}

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Adjusted net income (loss) represents Net income (loss) attributable to Shimmick Corporation adjusted to eliminate stock-based compensation, legal fees and other costs for Non-Core Projects and transaction-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration remaining after the impact of transactions with our prior owner. 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 income (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 income (loss) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted net income (loss) provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations. 

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

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted net income (loss) alongside Net income (loss) attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Table A

(1) Consists of transformation-related costs we have incurred including advisory costs in connection with settling outstanding claims in connection with exiting certain Non-Core Projects as part of the Company’s growth strategy to address and capitalize on the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure.
(2) Consists of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims relating to Non-Core Projects.
(3) 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 income (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 Non-Core Projects and transaction-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration remaining after the impact of transactions with our prior owner. 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 income (loss) attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Table B

(1) Consists of transformation-related costs we have incurred including advisory costs in connection with settling outstanding claims in connection with exiting certain Non-Core Projects as part of the Company’s growth strategy to address and capitalize on the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure. 
(2) Consists of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with claims relating to Non-Core Projects.
(3) Consists of transaction-related costs and changes in fair value of contingent consideration remaining after the impact of transactions with our prior owner.
