(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 $96 million and $113 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025, respectively. The $17 million decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $22 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 $32 million of decreases in revenue from lower activity on existing projects and projects winding down. These decreases were partially offset by $37 million of increases in revenue from new higher margin projects ramping up.

Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $11 million and $15 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025, respectively. The $4 million decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of $12 million of decreases in gross margin from lower activity on existing projects and projects winding down, partially offset by $8 million of increases in gross margin from new higher margin 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 $11 million and $16 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025, respectively. The $5 million decrease was primarily the result of the Company working to wind down these Non-Core projects as well as the termination of one Non-Core project in Tennessee.

Gross margin recognized on Non-Core Projects was $2 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 as compared to $(7) million for the three months ended July 4, 2025. The $9 million increase was primarily the result of certain time and design-related schedule extensions identified during the three months ended July 4, 2025 which did not reoccur during the three months ended July 3, 2026 as well as a favorable settlement and closeout of other Non-Core projects in the current year.

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 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 $10 million and $13 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025, respectively. Gross margin recognized on these Non-Core Loss Projects was $1 million and $(3) million for the three months ended July 3, 2026 and July 4, 2025, respectively. The change in gross margin was primarily the result of cost increases for time and design-related schedule extensions identified during the three months ended July 4, 2025 which did not reoccur during the three months ended July 3, 2026.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1 million during the three months ended July 3, 2026 primarily as a result of increases in legal costs.

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures increased by $1 million during the three months ended July 3, 2026 primarily as the result of an increase in activity on a dam project in the current year as well cost increases incurred on a transit project during the three months ended July 4, 2025 which did not reoccur during the three months ended July 3, 2026.

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 July 3, 2026 primarily due to increased average long-term debt balances outstanding during the three months ended July 3, 2026 as compared to the three months ended July 4, 2025.

Other expense (income), net

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

Income tax expense

Due to an expected tax loss for the fiscal year ending 2026 and a realized tax loss for the fiscal year ended 2025, no income tax expense was recorded for either the three months ended July 3, 2026 or the three months ended July 4, 2025.

Net loss

Net loss decreased by $4 million to a net loss of $5 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026, primarily due to an increase in gross margin of $4 million and an increase in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures of $1 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1 million and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1 million, all as described above.

Diluted loss per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $(0.12) for the three months ended July 3, 2026, compared to diluted loss per common share of $(0.25) for the three months ended July 4, 2025.

Adjusted net loss was $(0.5) million for the three months ended July 3, 2026, compared to adjusted net loss of $(5) million for the three months ended July 4, 2025.

Adjusted diluted loss per common share attributable to Shimmick Corporation was $(0.01) for the three months ended July 3, 2026, compared to $(0.14) for the three months ended July 4, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4 million for the three months ended July 3, 2026, compared to $(0.2) million for the three months ended July 4, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of the increase in gross margin of $4 million as described above.

"We are pleased with the strong momentum of our newer, higher-margin Shimmick Project awards, which contributed to a 9% sequential increase in Shimmick Project revenue during the quarter and reinforce our confidence in the earnings trajectory of the business. As we gain greater visibility into certain Non-Core work removed from backlog last quarter, we are updating our full-year 2026 revenue guidance to approximately $525 million to $575 million, representing approximately 12% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Importantly, this Non-Core work was not expected to contribute gross margin and therefore has no impact on our profitability expectations. We are reaffirming our full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $15 million to $30 million, which at the midpoint represents approximately 350% improvement over the prior year," said Todd Yoder, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Outlook and Guidance

As of August 10, 2026, for the full 2026 fiscal year:

We reaffirm our guidance of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA between $15 million and $30 million, representing year-over-year growth of 350% at the midpoint
We now expect consolidated revenue⁽¹⁾ in the range of $525 million and $575 million, representing year-over-year growth of 12% 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 Loss and Adjusted Diluted Loss 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 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 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 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 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 loss attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
