IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shimmick Corp. (Nasdaq: SHIM), a leading water infrastructure company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 29, 2023.

“Shimmick has been energized by the support we received from our new investors in our IPO. Being a public company will help Shimmick continue its growth trajectory,” said Steve Richards, Chief Executive Officer of Shimmick. “Shimmick has demonstrated the ability to self-perform many complex water projects which has transformed our portfolio over the last few years to higher margin projects. With that, I am pleased to report that we delivered a strong third quarter.  Shimmick has become more profitable, as evidenced by the year-over-year expansion of our gross margin in the third quarter of 260 basis points and increases in adjusted net income to $37 million, or 70%, and adjusted EBITDA to $42 million, or 63%, from the prior year quarter.”

“We believe our focus on the right projects combined with our strategic initiatives will continue to drive growth and increased profitability in the future. I want to thank all the employees at Shimmick for their tireless effort and hard work that has resulted in our successful IPO. We are excited about the future and look forward to partnering with our new investors going forward,” concluded Mr. Richards.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $175 million for the three months ended September 29, 2023, a decrease of 5% compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a $34 million decrease in revenue from legacy jobs awarded prior to the January 2, 2021 AECOM Sale Transactions, which includes a decrease of $4 million in legacy loss job revenue, as a result of jobs winding down, partially offset by an increase in post-AECOM Sale Transactions jobs of $25 million as a result of new jobs and jobs that were just ramping up in the prior year. Gross margin dollars were $17 million, or 10% of revenue, compared to $13 million, or 7% of revenue, compared to the same period in 2022. The 260-basis point improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by management’s shift in job-bidding strategy toward higher margin, lower risk jobs, resulting in a $9 million reduction in revenue discussed above, partially offset by a decrease of $13 million in cost of revenue primarily due to timing of work performed.

Net income attributable to Shimmick was $35 million for the three months ended September 29, 2023, compared to $18 million in the same period in 2022.

Diluted earnings per common share was $1.58 for the three months ended September 29, 2023, compared to $0.82 for the same period in 2022.

Adjusted net income was $37 million for the three months ended September 29, 2023, compared to $22 million in the same period in 2022.

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $1.67 for the three months ended September 29, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $42 million for the three months ended September 29, 2023, compared to $26 million in the same period in 2022.

Backlog for the third quarter was $1.2 billion as of September 29, 2023.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

Adjusted net income represents net income attributable to Shimmick Corporation adjusted to eliminate changes in fair value of contingent consideration, IPO and transaction-related costs, stock-based compensation, and legal fees and other costs for a legacy loss job.

We have included adjusted net income in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and Board 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 can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted net income provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations.

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

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

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings attributable to Shimmick Corporation before interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate changes in fair value of contingent consideration, IPO and transaction-related costs, stock-based compensation, and legal fees and other costs for a legacy loss job.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and Board 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 attributable to Shimmick Corporation, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
