Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Overview Shimmick is an industry leader in delivering turnkey infrastructure solutions that strengthen critical markets across water, energy, climate resiliency, and sustainable transportation. With a track record that spans over a century, Shimmick, headquartered in California, unites deep engineering heritage with entrepreneurial spirit to tackle today's most complex infrastructure challenges. We integrate technical excellence with collaborative project delivery methods to provide innovative, technology-driven infrastructure solutions that accelerate economic growth and empower communities nationwide. We have a long history of successfully completing complex water projects, ranging from the world’s largest wastewater recycling and purification system in California to the iconic Hoover Dam. According to Engineering News Record, in 2024, we are nationally ranked as a top ten builder of water supply (#8), dams and reservoirs (#6), and water treatment and desalination plants (#7). Our business includes construction operations from Morrison Knudsen and Washington Group International which were consolidated in 2017 by AECOM. In 2021, we were sold by AECOM and became an independent company under new private ownership ("AECOM Sale Transaction"). In November 2023, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and currently our stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SHIM". We selectively focus on the following types of infrastructure projects: Water Treatment and Resources • Water and Wastewater Treatment . We expand, rehabilitate, upgrade, build and rebuild water and wastewater treatment infrastructure including desalination plants. We implement treatment technologies including ozonation, biological activated carbon, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, chemical treatment, and oxidation. Our projects aim to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water, protect public health and reduce waterborne diseases and contribute to protecting the environment by removing pollutants and contaminants from wastewater before it is released back into ecosystems. • Water Resources . We construct, rehabilitate and upgrade dams, reservoirs, and water conveyance and storage systems. This includes flood control systems, pump stations, and coastal protection infrastructure. Select projects of ours enable reliable water supply, generate hydroelectric power, and 42 control flooding, ensuring water availability and energy security. Our work contributes to protecting communities from flood damage to safeguard lives, property and infrastructure. Other Critical Infrastructure We build, retrofit, expand, rehabilitate, operate and maintain our nation’s critical infrastructure, including mass transit, bridges and military infrastructure. We work on projects that we believe are vital for economic growth, social connectivity, and accessibility. We believe our projects enable smooth and efficient movement of people and goods, foster trade, address environmental sustainability and improve quality of life for individuals and communities. Within critical infrastructure, we are focused primarily on the following types of projects: • Climate Resilience . We build and upgrade levees, flood walls, pump stations, drainage systems, and strengthen existing infrastructure both in preparation to withstand severe weather events and in response to such events to facilitate recovery. • Transportation and Mobility . We construct mass transit systems (light passenger rail and bus rapid transit), autonomous transportation solutions (personal rapid transit, autonomous fixed guideway people movers, and implement intelligent transportation technologies. • Energy Transition . We modify facilities to accommodate electric vehicle fleets for transit agencies and municipalities, implement renewable energy components in our projects, and support data center construction. As of January 3, 2025, we had a backlog of projects of approximately $822 million, mostly located in California, with ongoing projects in six other states. We self-perform many of these projects, which we believe allows us to better control critical aspects of construction, reduce cost and schedule risks, and deliver greater value to clients. Our History, the AECOM Sale Transaction and 2024 Financing Transactions Overview Shimmick was founded in 1990 in California and operated as a regional infrastructure construction contractor throughout California for nearly 30 years. In 2017, AECOM acquired Shimmick and consolidated it with its existing construction services, which included former construction operations from Morrison Knudsen, Washington Group International, and others. In January 2021, we were sold by AECOM and began operating as an independent company under new private ownership ("AECOM Sale Transaction") under a December 2020 Purchase Agreement with SCC Group, a special purpose entity formed for the purpose of entering into and consummating the sale transaction including acquiring 100% of the stock of the Company and certain other assets related to our business and our subsidiaries to the extent owned by Seller Entities or their affiliates. After the transaction, we began a transformation to shift our strategy to meet the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure and grow our business. We are also focusing more on smaller complex projects that we can largely self-perform and which we believe will have lower risk and higher margin. On November 16, 2023, the Company completed its initial public offering of 3,575,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $7.00 per share (the “IPO”). The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO were approximately $19 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Shimmick’s common stock began trading on November 14, 2023 and is currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SHIM". AECOM Sale Transaction • Shared Tax Benefits . Pursuant to the internal reorganization of its business in early 2020, AECOM agreed to make an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-36(d)(6) that could result in certain tax benefits to us (in the form of cash or a reduction in liability for taxes). We are obligated to share with AECOM actual tax benefits realized (i.e., in cash or through an actual reduction in liability for tax). 43 • Other Items . We have agreed to indemnify the Seller Entities for any costs or expenses incurred under any outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees, advance payment guarantees and other contractual obligations arising from or relating to the assets purchased or the liabilities assumed under the Purchase Agreement, including bonds relating to the Legacy Projects. Further, the Seller Entities have provided a conditional guaranty required by any surety bonds and/or a bonding program relating to certain guaranteed obligations and payment obligations with respect to the certain other assets related to our business and our subsidiaries to the extent owned by Seller Entities or their affiliates. 2024 Financing Transactions • Credit Agreement . On May 20, 2024, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). See " Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Agreement " for further discussion. • Amendment to MidCap Credit Facility. On May 20, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to our existing Revolving Credit Facility, dated March 27, 2023, with MidCap Financial Services, LLC. See “ — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Revolving Credit Facility ” for further discussion. • Side Letter . We and AECOM entered into a side letter to the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2024 (the “Side Letter”). Pursuant to the Side Letter, the Company (i) established a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), (ii) appointed a chief transformation officer, (iii) executed the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (as described below), and (iv) agreed to certain terms relating to AECOM’s registration rights under the Share Issuance Agreement (as described below). • Settlement Agreement and Share Issuance . We entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with AECOM pursuant to which, among other things, we and our subsidiaries released AECOM from all claims available to us under the Purchase Agreement. In return, AECOM released the Company and its subsidiaries from certain claims under the Purchase Agreement, specifically certain claims related to the Golden Gate Bridge Project, the Gerald Desmond Bridge Project and Chickamauga Lock Project and claims relating to certain earn-out payments. As consideration, we also entered into a Share Issuance Agreement (the “Share Issuance Agreement”) with AECOM, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate 7,745,000 shares of common stock. For additional information regarding AECOM, see “ Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We may be required to make additional payments to AECOM pursuant to contractual arrangements” and “— If AECOM defaults on its contractual obligations under agreements in which we are a beneficiary, our business could be materially and adversely impacted. ” Ural Yal Appointed CEO of Shimmick On November 12, 2024, Shimmick announced that it appointed Ural Yal as its new CEO and member of the Board of Directors effective December 2, 2024 and succeeded Steven Richards upon his retirement. We believe Mr. Yal brings deep expertise in both the California market and national infrastructure construction along with a proven track record of operational growth to lead the Company in capitalizing on market opportunities through operational excellence, safety and client satisfaction. Key Factors Affecting Our Performance and Results of Operations We expect that our results of operations will be affected by a number of factors which we have discussed below. Weather, natural disasters and emergencies. The results of our business in a given period can be impacted by adverse weather conditions, severe weather events, natural disasters or other emergencies, which include, among other things, heavy or prolonged snowfall or rainfall, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, extreme temperatures, wildfires, post-wildfire floods and debris flows, pandemics and earthquakes. These conditions and events can negatively impact our financial results due to, among other things, the termination, deferral or delay of projects, reduced productivity and exposure to significant liabilities. 44 Seasonality. Typically, our revenue is lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions can create challenging working environments that are more costly for our customers or cause delays on projects. Second quarter revenue is typically higher than those in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often impact productivity. Third quarter revenue is typically the highest of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and operating conditions, including weather, are normally more accommodating. Project geographic location will also dictate how seasonality affects productivity and timing. Also, the holiday season and inclement weather can sometimes cause delays during the fourth quarter, reducing revenue and increasing costs. Our Ability to Fulfill Backlog Orders . Our backlog consists of the estimated amount of services to be completed from future work on uncompleted contracts or work that has been awarded with contracts still being negotiated. It also includes revenue from change orders and renewal options. Most of our contracts are cancelable on short or no advance notice. Reductions in backlog due to cancellation by a customer, or for other reasons, could significantly reduce the revenue that we actually receive from contracts in backlog. In the event of a project cancellation, we may be reimbursed for certain costs, but we typically have no contractual right to the total revenues reflected in our backlog. Backlog amounts are determined based on target price estimates that incorporate historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and from communications with our customers. These estimates may prove inaccurate, which could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings. In addition, contracts included in our backlog may not be profitable. If our backlog fails to materialize, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Our Ability to Obtain New Projects. We selectively bid on projects that we believe offer an opportunity to meet our profitability objectives or that offer the opportunity to enter promising new markets. The potential customers conduct rigorous competitive processes for awarding many contracts. We will potentially face strong competition and pricing pressures for any additional contract awards from other government agencies, and we may be required to qualify or continue to qualify under various multiple award task order contract criteria. In addition, as is customary in the construction business, we are required to provide surety bonds to our customers to secure our performance under construction contracts. Our ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon our capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and reputation, as well as certain external factors, including the overall capacity of the surety market. Surety companies consider such factors in relationship to the amount of our backlog and their underwriting standards, which may change from time to time. Events that adversely affect the insurance and bonding markets generally may result in bonding becoming more difficult to obtain in the future, or being available only at a significantly greater cost. If are unable to obtain adequate bonding or if the cost of bonding materially increased, it would limit the amount that we can bid on new contracts, limit the competitiveness of our bids, and could have a material adverse effect on our future revenue and business prospects. Our Ability to Successfully Expand our Footprint . We review our bidding opportunities to attempt to minimize concentration of work with any one customer, in any one industry, or in tight labor markets. We believe that by carefully positioning ourselves in markets that have meaningful barriers to entry, like those with highly technical or specialized scopes of work, we can continue to be competitive. For example, we target projects with significant, highly-technical work that we can self-perform. We believe this provides us with a distinct pricing advantage, as well as better risk management. In addition, as a result of federal and state-level infrastructure initiatives, we believe that funding for technical construction projects may exceed capacity, enabling us to opportunistically target smaller specialized projects with less risk at higher margins. We may be limited in our ability to expand our footprint by barriers to entry to new markets, competition, and availability of capital and skilled labor. We primarily compete for new contracts independently, seeking to win and complete new projects directly for our customers. Our customers primarily award contracts using one of two methods: the traditional public “competitive bid” method, in which price is the major determining factor, or through a “best value” or collaborative contract proposal, where contracts are awarded based on a combination of technical qualifications, proposed project team, 45 schedule, the ability to obtain surety bonds, past performance on similar projects and price, which we believe creates a barrier to entry. Many of our contracts are awarded on a fixed-price basis, and we earn and recognize revenue using an input measure of total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred. Our Ability to Obtain Approval of Change Orders and Successfully Pursue Claims. We are subject to variation in scope and cost of projects from our original projections. In certain circumstances, we seek to collect or assert claims against customers, engineers, consultants, subcontractors or others involved in a project for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. Our experience has often been that public sector customers have been willing to negotiate equitable adjustments in the contract compensation or completion time provisions if unexpected circumstances arise. However, this process may result in disputes over whether the work performed is beyond the scope of the work included in the original project plans and specifications or, if the customer agrees that the work performed qualifies as extra work, the price that the customer is willing to pay for the extra work. Public sector customers may seek to impose contractual risk-shifting provisions more aggressively or there could be statutory and other legal prohibitions that prevent or limit contract changes or equitable adjustments. Our Ability to Control Project Costs . Our costs primarily consist of payroll, equipment, materials, and other project related expenses. With a consistent focus on profitability by our management team, we leverage information technology and utilize financial systems to improve project execution and control costs. However, if we are unable to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate a contract that is ultimately awarded to us, we may achieve a lower than anticipated profit or incur a loss on the contract. Also, our labor and training expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled personnel. We may not be able to pass these expenses on to our customers, which could adversely affect our profitability. To the extent that we are unable to buy construction equipment necessary for our needs, either due to a lack of available funding or equipment shortages in the marketplace, we may be forced to rent equipment on a short-term basis, which could increase the costs of performing our contracts. If we are unable to continue to maintain the equipment in our fleet, we may be forced to obtain third-party repair services, which could increase our costs. In addition, the market value of our equipment may unexpectedly decline at a faster rate than anticipated. Our Ability to Control Selling General and Administrative Costs . We incur significant expenses on an ongoing basis as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. Those costs include additional director and officer liability insurance expenses, stock exchange listing expenses, as well as third-party and internal resources related to accounting, auditing, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, legal and investor and public relations expenses. These costs are generally selling, general and administrative expenses. We have also implemented the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan to align our equity compensation program with public company plans and practices, which increases our stock-based compensation expense. Joint Ventures. We participate in various construction joint ventures in order to share expertise, risk and resources for certain highly complex, large, and/or unique projects. Generally, each construction joint venture is formed to accomplish a specific project and is jointly controlled by the joint venture partners. We select our joint venture partners based on our analysis of their construction and financial capabilities, expertise in the type of work to be performed and past working relationships, among other criteria. The joint venture agreements typically provide that our interests in any profits and assets, and our respective share in any losses and liabilities, that may result from the performance of the contract are limited to our stated percentage interest in the project. Under each joint venture agreement, one partner is designated as the sponsor. The sponsoring partner typically provides administrative, accounting and much of the project management support for the project and generally receives a fee from the joint venture for these services. We have been designated as the sponsoring partner in some venture projects and are a non-sponsoring partner in others. We incur transaction and integration costs prior to fully realizing the benefits of acquisition synergies. Joint ventures often require significant investments before they begin operations and we incur many of these costs prior to realizing any gain on the investment in the joint venture. If we are unable to recoup these costs, it could have a significant impact on our business. How We Assess Performance of Our Business 46 Revenue We currently derive our revenue predominantly by providing infrastructure, operations and management services around the United States. We generally recognize revenue over-time as performance obligations are satisfied and control over promised goods or services are transferred to our customers. Gross Margin Gross margin represents revenue less contract costs. Contract costs consist of all direct and indirect costs on contracts, including raw materials, labor, equipment costs, and subcontractor costs. 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 in the current period in the cost of revenue. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs for our administrative, finance and accounting, legal, information systems, human resources and certain managerial employees. Additional expenses include audit, consulting and professional fees, travel, insurance, office space rental costs, property taxes and other corporate and overhead expenses. Equity in (Loss) Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures includes our return on investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. Net Loss Net loss represents earnings after consideration of all operating expenses and other income and expenses to measure loss to allocate resources and assess financial performance.

Revenue recognized on Shimmick Projects was $356 million and $386 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The $30 million decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a $82 million decrease from lower activity on existing projects and projects winding down partially offset by an aggregate of $52 million of revenue from a new water infrastructure project and ramp up of a transportation project. Gross margin recognized on Shimmick Projects was $12 million and $38 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The $26 million decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of a $37 million decrease from increased cost of revenue, schedule extensions and a decrease in revenue from existing projects that are winding down, partially offset by an aggregate of $11 million of gross margin from a new water infrastructure project and ramp up of a transportation project. Legacy Projects As part of the AECOM Sale Transaction, we acquired the Legacy Projects and backlog that were started under prior ownership. Legacy Projects revenue was $93 million for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, a decline of $105 million as compared to the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, as the Company works to complete these projects. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by continued impacts of Legacy Projects winding down during fiscal 2024, the sale of non-core business contracts in the third quarter of 2023 as well as a non-cash adjustment to revenue on a Legacy Loss Project (as defined below) settlement recognized during the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a settlement agreement in the Company's Golden Gate Bridge Project (the “GGB Project”) during the third quarter of 2024. Gross margin was $(49) million for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 as compared to $(7) million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, primarily as a result of the Legacy Loss Project settlement during the second quarter of 2024, projects winding down and additional cost overruns on Legacy Loss Projects that have experienced 48 additional increases in the cost to complete as well as additional legal fees to pursue contract modifications and recoveries, partially offset by the GGB Project settlement. A subset of Legacy Projects ("Legacy Loss Projects") have experienced significant cost overruns due to the COVID pandemic, design issues, legal costs and other factors. In the Legacy 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 Legacy 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. Revenue recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $68 million and $99 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Gross margin recognized on these Legacy Loss Projects was $(45) million and $(14) million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The change in gross margin was primarily the result of a Legacy Loss Project settlement during the second quarter of 2024, additional increases in the cost to complete as well as additional legal fees to pursue contract modifications and recoveries, partially offset by the GGB Project settlement. Foundations Projects Projects that focus on foundation drilling are referred to as "Foundations Projects". The Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets of our non-core Foundations Projects in the second quarter of 2024 and continued to wind down work during the 2024 fiscal year. As a result, revenue recognized on Foundations Projects declined during the 2024 fiscal year. Revenue recognized on Foundations Projects was $31 million and $48 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The $17 million decline in revenue was the result of timing of multiple projects winding down following the asset sale. Gross margin recognized on Foundations Projects was $(18) million and $(9) million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The decline in gross margin was the result of cost overruns and projects winding down. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses remained approximately flat period over period. ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs were $16 million due to the strategic decision to enhance the Company’s current ERP system rather than implementing a new platform which, due to prior capitalized costs and remaining contractual obligations, resulted in a charge of $16 million recorded in the f iscal year ended January 3, 2025 . Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures was $(5) million, compared to earnings of $10 million in the prior year period, primarily due a favorable subcontractor settlement during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023 that did not reoccur during the f iscal year ended January 3, 2025 and increased costs due to schedule extensions. Gain on sale of assets Gain on sale of assets decreased by $11 million primarily due to the gain recognized on the sale of non-core business contracts for $30 million during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, partially offset by the $17 million gain recognized on the transaction for the sale-leaseback of our equipment yard in Tracy, California and $2 49 million gain recognized on the sale of the assets of our non-core Foundations Projects during the f iscal year ended January 3, 2025 . Interest expense Interest expense increased by $3 million primarily due to increased borrowings on the Credit Agreement, which was entered into on May 20, 2024 as well as interest charges on the Revolving Credit Facility which was not entered into until March 27, 2023. Other expense, net Other expense, net remained approximately flat period over period. Income tax benefit Income tax benefit of $1 million was recognized for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, primarily as the result of a decrease in other taxes payable. No taxable income was recognized for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, thus no income tax expense or benefit was recorded. Net loss Net loss increased by $122 million from $2 million to a net loss of $125 million for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross margin of $78 million of which $52 million was a result of gross margin declines in the legacy and foundations projects. In addition, the ERP pre-implementation asset impairment and associated costs of $16 million, a decrease of gain on the sale of assets of $11 million, an increase in equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures of $15 million as well as an increase in interest expense of $3 million added to the net loss increase, each as described above. Non-GAAP financial measures We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. Therefore, to supplement our consolidated financial statements, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net (loss) income 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 Legacy 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 Legacy 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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: 50 • 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. 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 Legacy 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 Legacy 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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. 51 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, our capital expenditures were approximately $10 million compared to $7 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023. Historically, we have had significant cash requirements in order to organically expand our business to undertake new projects. Our cash requirements include costs related to increased expenditures for equipment, facilities and information systems, purchase of materials and production of materials and cash to fund our organic expansion into new markets, including through joint ventures. Our working capital needs are driven by the seasonality and growth of our business, with our cash requirements greater in periods of growth. Additional cash requirements resulting from our growth include the costs of additional personnel, enhancing our information systems, our compliance with laws and rules applicable to being a public company and, in the future, our integration of any acquisitions. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents at January 3, 2025 totaled $34 million and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Agreement totaled $15 million and $51 million, respectively, resulting in total liquidity of $100 million. 52 We have historically relied upon cash available through operating activities, in addition to credit facilities and existing cash balances, to finance our working capital requirements and to support our growth. However, we regularly monitor other potential capital sources, including equity and debt financing, in an effort to meet our planned expenditures and liquidity requirements. Our future success will be highly dependent on our ability to access outside sources of capital. As is customary in our business, we are required to provide surety bonds to secure our performance under our contracts. Our ability to obtain surety bonds primarily depends upon our capitalization, working capital, past performance, management expertise and reputation and certain external factors, including the overall capacity of the surety market. Surety companies consider such factors in relationship to the amount of our backlog and their underwriting standards, which may change from time to time. We have pledged proceeds and other rights under our contracts to our bond surety company. Events that affect the insurance and bonding markets may result in bonding becoming more difficult to obtain in the future, or being available only at a significantly greater cost. We believe that our operating, investing and financing cash flows are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, and significant additional expenditures will be required to conduct our operations. There can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain planned or future levels of expenditures. In the event we make one or more acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we seek additional capital, we may do so through joint ventures, asset sales, offerings of debt or equity securities or other means. We cannot guarantee that this additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain the funds we need, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the expenditures necessary to conduct our operations. Total debt outstanding is presented on the consolidated balance sheets as follows: (In thousands) January 3, 2025 December 29, 2023 Credit Agreement $ 11,503 $ — Revolving Credit Facility — 29,914 Unamortized debt issuance costs (2,025 ) (287 ) Long-term debt, net $ 9,478 $ 29,627 Revolving Credit Facility On March 27, 2023, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with MidCap Financial Services, LLC, which originally provided a total commitment of $30 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has been subsequently amended, most recently on September 25, 2024. As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility provides for a total commitment of $15 million and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 1.0% floor, plus 5.50%. Further, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an annual collateral management fee of 0.50% and an annual unused line fee of 0.50%. The Revolving Credit Facility includes certain financial operating covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $7.5 million. We are not aware of any instances of noncompliance with the key financial covenants as of January 3, 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility was terminated on March 13, 2025 upon the execution of the ACF Credit Agreement (as defined below). During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, we repaid $30 million of the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and paid $2 million in cash interest. Credit Agreement On May 20, 2024, we, as guarantor, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers (“Borrowers”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as agent, and AECOM and Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSI”) as lenders, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on September 25, 2024, January 30, 2025 and March 12, 2025 to, among other things, permit the Company’s concurrent 53 amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and waive the specified noncompliance of the Material Project Documents covenant regarding entering into non-bonded contracts. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides borrowing capacity up to $60 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to one month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a 1.00% floor, plus 3.50%. Interest on any outstanding amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will be payable, in kind or in cash at our election, on the last day of each month and upon prepayment. Payment-in-kind interest accrued and capitalized shall not constitute loan outstanding amounts for the purposes of calculating loan availability. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, the Company paid $0.3 million in cash interest and accrued $2 million in non-cash payment-in-kind interest. The Credit Agreement matures on May 20, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement until the Maturity Date. Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and secured by a lien on substantially all of our and the Borrowers' assets. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants that limit liens, asset sales and investments, in each case subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant as tested quarterly commencing with the close of the first quarter of 2026. The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and event of default provisions customary for a transaction of this type. Subsequent to January 3, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with a non-financial covenant regarding entering into material non-bonded contracts as set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of January 3, 2025 and following the March 12, 2025 amendment, we are not aware of any instances of noncompliance with non-financial or financial covenants. As of January 3, 2025, $9 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The transactions with AECOM also included a mutual release and settlement of certain claims with AECOM and a corresponding agreement to issue 7,745,000 shares of our common shares to AECOM. 5,144,622 of the common shares were issued on May 20, 2024 and issuance of the remaining 2,600,378 shares was completed following stockholder approval on June 26, 2024. Of the total common shares issued, 1,036,949 were held in escrow which resulted in an AECOM voting interest of 19.6% as of January 3, 2025. The Company recognized a loss of $1 million in other expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations as a result of the share issuance which represented the excess of the $13 million fair market value of the common shares at the time of issuance over the $12 million carrying value of the contingent consideration liabilities settled with AECOM. ACF Credit Agreement On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Credit Agreement (“ACF Credit Agreement”) with ACF FINCO I LP, which provides a total commitment of $15 million and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus 4.50%. Further, the ACF Credit Agreement is subject to an annual unused line fee of 0.50%. The ACF Credit Agreement includes certain financial operating covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $5 million. The ACF Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of March 12, 2028 or 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Credit Agreement. Cash Flows Analysis The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods indicated: 54 Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, (In thousands) 2025 2023 Net cash used in operating activities $ (21,259 ) $ (88,100 ) Net cash provided by investing activities 15,041 22,050 Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (21,897 ) 47,875 Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (28,115 ) (18,175 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 63,910 82,085 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 35,795 $ 63,910 Operating Activities During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $21 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $88 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023. Cash flows used in operating activities were driven by a net loss, adjusted for various non-cash items and changes in accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities, accounts payable and accrued expenses balances, accrued salaries and wages and other assets and liabilities as discussed below. Operating assets and liabilities — The change in operating assets and liabilities varies due to fluctuations and timing in operating activities and operating assets and liabilities. The changes in the components of operating assets and liabilities during the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, (In thousands) 2025 2023 Accounts receivable, net $ 11,190 $ 2,251 Due from unconsolidated joint ventures - 313 Contract assets 104,139 (9,334 ) Accounts payable (35,114 ) 13,747 Contract liabilities (13,260 ) (47,940 ) Accrued expenses 9,940 (26,861 ) Accrued salaries, wages and benefits 2,039 (8,975 ) Other assets and liabilities 4,310 (645 ) Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net $ 83,244 $ (77,444 ) During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, the increase in operating assets and liabilities was $83 million, which was primarily driven by decreases in contract assets and increases in contract liabilities and accrued expenses. The Company’s operating assets and liabilities fluctuations are impacted by the mix of projects in backlog, seasonality, the timing of new awards and related payments for work performed and the contract billings to the customer as projects are completed. Operating assets and liabilities are also impacted at period end by the timing of accounts receivable collections and accounts payable payments for projects. The impact on net cash flows from operations in the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 from Legacy Loss Projects was cash proceeds of approximately $42 million in part due to settlements on claims during the year and cash used of $65 million, respectively. Investing Activities For the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $15 million, which was primarily driven by proceeds from the sale of assets of $32 million, partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $10 million and contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $6 million. For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $22 million, which primarily consisted of cash proceeds from the sale of non-core business contracts of $30 million, proceeds from sale of assets of $6 million ($4 million due to sale of an office building), and return of investment in unconsolidated joint 55 ventures of $16 million, partially offset by unconsolidated joint venture equity contributions of $23 million and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $7 million. Financing Activities For the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $22 million, which primarily consisted of net repayments to credit facilities of $20 million and $2 million of debt issuance costs incurred for the Credit Agreement and associated amendment entered into during the second and third quarters of 2024. For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $48 million, which primarily consisted of net proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings of $30 million and IPO proceeds of $25 million, partially offset by payments of IPO costs of $6 million. Letters of Credit We obtain standby letters of credit as required from time to time by our insurance carriers. The Company did not have any letters of credit outstanding as of January 3, 2025 or December 29, 2023. Contractual Obligations Contractual obligations of the Company consisted of liabilities associated with remaining lease payments through the fiscal years ending December 28, 2029 of approximately $7 million, $5 million, $4 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively, and approximately $3 million in the aggregate thereafter based on balances outstanding as of January 3, 2025. See Note 10 - Leases, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Backlog Our backlog consists of the remaining unearned revenue on awarded contracts, including our pro-rata share of work to be performed by unconsolidated joint ventures, less the joint venture partners’ pro-rata share of work to be performed by consolidated joint ventures. We include in backlog estimates of the amount of consideration to be received, including bonuses, awards, incentive fees, fixed-price awards, claims, unpriced change orders, penalties, minimum customer commitments on cost-plus arrangements, liquidated damages and certain time and material arrangements in which the estimated value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts. As construction on our contracts progresses, we increase or decrease backlog to take account of changes in estimated quantities under fixed-price contracts, as well as to reflect changed conditions, change orders and other variations from initially anticipated contract revenue and costs, including completion penalties and bonuses. Substantially all of the contracts in our backlog may be canceled or modified at the election of the customer. As of January 3, 2025, we had a backlog of projects of approximately $822 million, with over half of that amount comprised of water projects. We believe we have the ability to self-perform many of these projects, enabling us to compete for complex projects and differentiating us from many of our competitors. Self-performance also enables us to better control the critical aspects of our projects, reducing the risk of cost and schedule overruns. 56 The following tables present the Company's percentage of backlog by customer type, contract type and backlog recognized: As of January 3, 2025 Backlog by customer type: State and local agencies 71 % Federal agencies 13 % Private owners 16 % Total backlog 100 % As of January 3, 2025 Backlog by contract type: Fixed-price 85 % Cost reimbursable 15 % Total backlog 100 % As of January 3, 2025 Estimated backlog recognized: 0 to 24 months 84 % 25 to 36 months 7 % Beyond 36 months 9 % Total backlog 100 % Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In our joint ventures, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means that each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically, each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. We are unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by our joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts. Critical Accounting Estimates The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The results of our analysis form the basis for making assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the impact of such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition and Estimated Costs to Complete Projects The Company recognizes revenue from signed contracts with customers, change orders (approved and unapproved) and claims on those contracts that we conclude to be enforceable under the terms of the signed contracts. Many of 57 the Company’s contracts have one clearly identifiable performance obligation. However, some contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more of services associated with construction, operations and management. The determination of the number of performance obligations in a contract requires significant judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue recorded for a given period. Determination of the contract price is dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the consolidated balance sheet date, such as estimated costs at completion. Additionally, the Company is required to make estimates for the amount of consideration to be received, including variable compensation such as bonuses, awards, incentive fees, claims, unapproved change orders, unpriced change orders, penalties, and liquidated damages. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the contract price are based largely on the Company’s assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance, and any other information (historical and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. Management continuously monitors factors that may affect the quality of its estimates and makes adjustments accordingly. The Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the forecasted costs at completion. Due to the nature of the work left to be performed on many of the Company’s contracts, the estimation of total cost at completion (“EAC”) for fixed-price contracts is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Estimates of total cost at completion are made each period and changes in these estimates are accounted for prospectively as cumulative adjustments to revenue recognized in the current period. If estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a loss, a provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated in the cost of revenue. Change Orders Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates are recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or decrease) on a cumulative catch-up basis during the period the modification occurs and throughout the remainder of the contract. Claims Recognition Sometimes the Company seeks claims for amounts in excess of the contract price for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or other causes of additional costs incurred. Costs attributable to claims from customers are treated as costs of contract performance as incurred. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed by the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). This method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that its management believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it will make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company 58 We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will, among other things: • not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, • not be required to hold a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation pursuant to Section 14A(a) of the Exchange Act, • not be required to seek stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved pursuant to Section 14A(b) of the Exchange Act, • be exempt from any rule adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation and identification of critical audit matters, • be subject to reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and • be subject to reduced obligations with respect to financial data, including presenting only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of selected financial data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We will continue to qualify as an emerging growth company until the earliest of: • the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering, • the last day of our fiscal year in which we have annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more, • the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt, and • the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” which will occur at such time as we (1) have an aggregate worldwide market value of common equity securities held by non-affiliates of $700.0 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (2) have been required to file annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act for a period of at least 12 months and (3) have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act. We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. 59 Item 7A. Quantita tive and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Not applicable as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in the Exchange Act. Item 8. Financia l Statements and Supplementary Data. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report and consolidated financial statements listed below of this Annual Report are filed as part of this report. Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID: 34 ) Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Fiscal Years Ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity for the Fiscal Years Ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Fiscal Years Ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 60 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Shimmick Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shimmick Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows, for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Denver, Colorado March 20, 2025 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022. 61 Shimmick

Business and Organization Shimmick Corporation (“Shimmick”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”) was founded in 1990 in California and operated as a regional infrastructure construction contractor throughout California for nearly 30 years. In 2017, AECOM acquired Shimmick and consolidated it with its existing construction services, which included former legacy construction operations from Morrison Knudsen, Washington Group International, and others. In January 2021, we consummated the AECOM Sale Transaction and began operating as an independent company under new private ownership (the "AECOM Sale Transaction"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shimmick Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. On November 16, 2023, Shimmick completed its initial public offering of 3,575,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $ 7.00 per share (the "IPO"). The net proceeds to Shimmick from the IPO were approximately $ 19 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of $ 6 million. Shimmick’s common stock began trading on November 14, 2023 and is currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SHIM". Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. A statement of comprehensive income is not presented as the Company’s results of operations do not contain any items classified as comprehensive income. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, subsequent events were evaluated through the time the financial statements were issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to all stockholders and other financial statement users, or filed with the SEC. Change in Presentation Certain prior period balances in the consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows and accompanying notes have been combined or rounded to conform to current period presentation. These changes had no impact on net loss, cash flows, assets and liabilities, or (deficit) equity previously reported. Stock Split On October 23, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a stock split of the Company’s Common Stock. Further, the Board authorized 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with a par value of $ 0.01 par value per share and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $ 0.01 per share. Upon the effectiveness of the filing of the amendment, each share of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Old Common Stock”), issued and outstanding automatically, without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of such Old Common Stock, was reclassified as and became 2.7386 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. There were no fractional shares issued with respect to the reclassification of shares of Old Common Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Company has retro-actively applied the stock split made effective on October 23, 2023, to share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements. 66 Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal years consist of 52 or 53 weeks, ending on the Friday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2024 commenced on December 30, 2023 and ended on January 3, 2025. Fiscal year 2023 commenced on December 31, 2022 and ended on December 29, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates and significant estimates affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements are: • project revenues, costs and profits at completion of the Company’s contracts with customers, including recognition of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts; • claims against customers and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, vendors and others; • provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances and tax uncertainties; • recoverability of equity method investments; • accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation accruals; Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue predominantly by providing construction and operations and management services to government and commercial clients throughout the United States. The Company’s construction, operations and management services are usually provided in association with capital projects, which are predominantly fixed-price contracts that are billed based on project milestones. Contracts with clients may contain advance billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of work or services provided to date, and contract retentions. For further discussion regarding the Company’s revenue from contracts with clients by type of contract, see Note 3 - Revenue, Receivables and Contract Assets and Liabilities. Step 1: Contract Identification The Company does not recognize revenue unless an identified contract with a customer is established. A contract with a customer exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. The Company also evaluates whether a contract should be combined with other contracts and accounted for as a single contract. This evaluation requires judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue and profit recorded for a given period. Step 2: Identify Performance Obligations Next, each performance obligation in the contract is identified. A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services to the customer. Revenue is recognized separately for each performance obligation in the contract. Many of the Company’s contracts have one clearly identifiable performance obligation. However, many contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more of services associated with construction, operations and management. For these contracts, the Company does not consider the integrated services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in each contract. The determination of the number of performance obligations in a contract requires significant judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue recorded for a given period. Step 3: Determine Contract Price 67 After determining the performance obligations in the contract, the Company determines the contract price. The contract price is the amount of consideration expected to be received from the customer for completing the performance obligation(s). In a fixed-price contract, the contract price is a single lump-sum amount. In reimbursable and time and materials-based contracts, the contract price is determined by the agreed upon rates or reimbursements for time and materials expended in completing the performance obligation(s) in the contract. In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts and collaborates with partners providing services and incurs other direct costs. The Company controls the services provided by subcontractors and accounts for such cost at the gross amount as the Company is considered the principal. Determination of the contract price is dependent upon a number of factors, including the accuracy of a variety of estimates made at the consolidated balance sheet date, such as estimated costs at completion. Additionally, the Company is required to make estimates for the amount of consideration to be received, including bonuses, awards, incentive fees, claims, unapproved change orders, unpriced change orders, penalties, and liquidated damages. Variable consideration is included in the estimate of the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur when the contingency is resolved. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration through predominantly applying the most likely amount method. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include such amounts in the contract price are based largely on the Company’s assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance, and any other information (historical and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company. Management continuously monitors factors that may affect the quality of its estimates, and material changes in estimates are disclosed accordingly. Step 4: Assign Contract Price to Performance Obligations After determining the contract price, the Company assigns such price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. If a contract has multiple performance obligations, the Company assigns the contract price to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices of the distinct services that comprise each performance obligation. Step 5: Recognize Revenue as Performance Obligations are Satisfied The Company records revenue for contracts with customers as the contracts’ performance obligations are satisfied. Under fixed-unit price contracts, the Company performs a number of units of work at an agreed price per unit with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units delivered. Revenue is recognized for fixed-price contracts using the input method measured on a cost-to-cost basis. This method is reasonable in measuring performance towards completion because it measures the value of all goods and services transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue on performance obligations associated with cost reimbursable contracts based on actual direct costs incurred and the applicable fixed rate or portion of the fixed fee earned as of the consolidated balance sheet date. Under time-and-materials price contracts, the Company negotiates hourly billing rates and charges its customers based on the actual time that it expends on a project. In addition, customers reimburse the Company for materials and other direct incidental expenditures incurred in connection with its performance under the contract. The Company applies a practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount in which it has the right to invoice if its right to consideration is equal to the value of performance completed to date. Costs incurred may include direct labor, direct materials, subcontractor costs and indirect costs, such as salaries and benefits, supplies and tools, equipment costs and insurance costs. Indirect costs are charged to projects based upon direct costs and overhead allocation rates per dollar of direct costs incurred or direct labor hours worked. The Company has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the forecasted costs at completion. Due to the nature of the work left to be performed on many of the Company’s contracts, the estimation of total cost at completion for fixed-price contracts is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Estimates of total cost at completion are made each period and changes in these estimates are accounted for prospectively as cumulative adjustments to revenue recognized in the current period. If estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a loss, a provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated. 68 Change Orders Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates are recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase or decrease) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Claims Sometimes the Company seeks claims for amounts in excess of the contract price for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or other causes of additional costs incurred. Costs attributable to claims from customers are treated as costs of contract performance as incurred. Government Contracts The Company’s federal government and certain state and local agency contracts are subject to, among other regulations, regulations issued under the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”). These regulations can limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts and subjects the Company to ongoing multiple audits by government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). In addition, most of the Company’s federal and state and local contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of the client. Audits by the DCAA and other agencies consist of reviews of the Company’s overhead rates, operating systems and cost proposals to ensure that the Company accounted for such costs in accordance with the Cost Accounting Standards of the FAR (“CAS”). If the DCAA determines the Company has not accounted for such costs consistent with CAS, the DCAA may disallow these costs. There can be no assurance that audits by the DCAA or other governmental agencies will not result in material cost disallowances in the future. There are no ongoing audits or material adjustments related to noncompliance required. The Company is in compliance with all federal and state regulations and is not aware of any material adjustments as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. Commitments and Contingencies For asserted claims and assessments, liabilities are recorded when an unfavorable outcome of a matter is concluded to be probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. With respect to unasserted claims or assessments, management must first determine that the probability that an assertion will be made is likely. Then, a determination as to the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to reasonably estimate the potential loss is made. Legal matters are reviewed on a continuous basis to determine if there has been a change in management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the estimate of a potential loss. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities The Company’s joint ventures, the combination of two or more partners, are generally formed for the execution of a specific contract. Management of the joint venture is typically controlled by a joint venture management committee, comprised of representatives from the joint venture partners. The joint venture management committee normally provides management oversight and controls decisions which could have a significant impact on the joint venture. Some of the Company’s joint ventures have no employees and minimal operating expenses. For these joint ventures, the Company’s employees perform work for the joint venture, which is then billed to a third-party client by the joint venture. For consolidated joint ventures of this type, the Company records the entire amount of the services performed and the costs associated with these services, including the services provided by the other joint venture partners, in the Company’s results of operations. For certain of these joint ventures where a fee is added by an unconsolidated joint venture to client billings, these fees are eliminated to the extent the fee represents billings from the Company to the joint venture. 69 The Company assesses its joint ventures at inception to determine if they meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company considers a partnership or joint venture a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics: • the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; • characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity); or • the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. The Company analyzes its joint ventures and classifies them as either: • a VIE that must be consolidated because the Company is the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company holds the majority voting interest with no significant participative rights available to the other partners; or • a VIE that does not require consolidation and is treated as an equity method investment because the Company is not the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company does not hold the majority voting interest. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents include highly liquid investments which have an initial maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, include $ 2 million and $ 1 million, respectively, held by consolidated joint ventures that may not be distributed or used for certain other payments prescribed in the joint venture agreement without consent of the joint venture partners. These balances are presented as restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company records its accounts receivable net of an allowance for credit losses. This allowance for credit losses is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the contracts involved and the client’s ability and willingness to pay. Allowances for credit losses have been determined through specific identification of amounts considered to be uncollectible and potential write-offs, plus a non-specific allowance for other amounts for which some potential loss has been determined to be probable as of the consolidated balance sheet date based on current and past experience. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives range as follows: • Buildings — 10 to 45 years; • Machinery, equipment, and vehicles — 3 to 12 years; • Office furniture and equipment — 3 to 10 years; 70 • Leasehold improvements — the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the underlying lease agreement. Property, plant and equipment to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of an asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. For assets to be held and used, impairment losses are recognized based upon the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. For property, plant and equipment assets to be disposed, impairment losses are recognized at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Other than the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system impairment discussed in Note 5 - Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets, there was no impairment to property, plant and equipment for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023. Intangible Assets The estimated useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The estimated useful lives for trademarks and customer contracts are seven years and six years, respectively. Intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their contractual term or estimated useful life. The Company considers events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that may indicate impairment. There was no impairment to intangible assets for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023. Insurance Reserves The Company maintains insurance for certain insurable business risks. Insurance coverage contains various retention and deductible amounts for which the Company accrues a liability based upon reported claims and an actuarially determined estimated liability for certain claims incurred but not reported. It is generally the Company’s policy not to accrue for any potential legal expense to be incurred in defending the Company’s position. Leases The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology equipment in the normal course of business. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. An arrangement is determined to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date, plus any lease payments made prior to commencement, and less any lease incentives received. Operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized based on the undiscounted future lease payments over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense related to short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Determinations with respect to lease term (including any renewals and terminations), incremental borrowing rate used to discount lease payments, variable lease expense and future lease payments require the use of judgment based on the facts and circumstances related to each lease. The Company considers various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need, to determine the likelihood that a renewal option will be exercised. Right-of-use assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with the Company’s policy for impairment of long-lived assets. Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests represent the equity investments of the minority owners in the Company’s joint ventures and other subsidiary entities that are consolidated in its financial statements. Fair Value Accounting 71 The Company categorizes its financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level (least observable) input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Other than the contingent consideration, there were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 3, 2025 or December 29, 2023. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that its management believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it will make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. The Company records uncertain tax positions using a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Reportable Segment Information The Company is organized and operates as one operating and reportable segment: infrastructure solutions. All of the Company's revenue comes from customers in the United States. This determination is based on the management approach which designates internal information regularly available to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of determination of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The accounting policies of the one reportable segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM uses net income, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations, to measure segment profit or loss, assess performance, and make strategic capital resources allocations. The measure of segment assets is reported on our consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM are the expenses as noted on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-Based Compensation 72 All stock-based payments (to the extent that they are compensatory) are recognized as an expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values on the grant date. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is no greater than four years. See Note 8 - Stock Compensation, for discussion of stock-based compensation and incentive plans. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires the Company to expand the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures to include additional information about significant segment expenses, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and other items, and also requires the annual disclosures on an interim basis. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 3, 2025 with no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which requires disaggregation of certain components included in the Company’s effective tax rate and income taxes paid disclosures.

Revenue, Receivables and Contract Assets and Liabilities The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by contract types: Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, (In thousands) 2025 2023 Fixed-price $ 442,243 $ 567,224 Cost reimbursable 36,070 57,063 Equipment and labor 1,923 8,519 Total revenue $ 480,236 $ 632,806 Projects started after prior ownership ("Shimmick Projects") have focused on water infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. Projects that started under prior ownership are referred to as "Legacy Projects". Projects that focus on foundation drilling are referred to as "Foundations Projects". The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by Shimmick Projects, Foundations Projects and Legacy Projects: 73 Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, (In thousands) 2025 2023 Shimmick Projects $ 355,683 $ 386,491 Legacy Projects 93,226 198,509 Foundations Projects 31,327 47,806 Total revenue $ 480,236 $ 632,806 Remaining performance obligations The Company had $ 767 million of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of January 3, 2025. Our remaining performance obligations have a weighted average life of 1.9 years as of January 3, 2025. Contract Balances The following table provides information about contract assets (also referred to as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and retainage receivable) and contract liabilities (also referred to as billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings and forward loss reserve), which include assets and liabilities that are dependent upon future activity: January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 Change (In thousands) Contract assets, current and non-current: Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $ 46,603 $ 125,943 $ ( 79,340 ) Retainage receivable 23,517 48,316 ( 24,799 ) Total contract assets 70,120 174,259 ( 104,139 ) Contract liabilities, current and non-current: Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings ( 50,490 ) ( 48,841 ) ( 1,649 ) Forward loss reserve ( 52,147 ) ( 70,159 ) 18,012 Total contract liabilities ( 102,637 ) ( 119,000 ) 16,363 Net $ ( 32,517 ) $ 55,259 $ ( 87,776 ) Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payment, which usually differs from the timing of revenue recognition. As a result, the Company carries contract assets and liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. These contract assets and liabilities are calculated on a contract-by-contract basis and reported on a net basis at the end of each period and are classified as current or non-current. Many of the contracts under which the Company performs work also contain retainage provisions. Retainage refers to that portion of our billings held for payment by the customer pending satisfactory completion of the project. Unless reserved, the Company assumes that all amounts retained by customers under such provisions are fully collectible. These assets and liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets within “Contract assets, current,” “Contract assets, non-current,” “Contract liabilities, current" and “Contract liabilities, non-current." A certain portion of our retainage receivable contract asset balance is non-current, and therefore is not presented on a net basis against the associated contract liabilities that are current. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts consists of revenue recognized in excess of billings. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. The Company recognized revenue of $ 45 million during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 that was included in contract liabilities as of December 29, 2023. 74 The Company’s timing of revenue recognition may not be consistent with its rights to bill and collect cash from its clients. Those rights are generally dependent upon advance billing terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of work or when services are performed. The Company’s accounts receivable represents amounts billed to clients that have yet to be collected and represent an unconditional right to cash from its clients as presented below. January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Total accounts receivable, gross $ 43,942 $ 55,202 Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 954 ) ( 1,024 ) Accounts receivable, net $ 42,988 $ 54,178 Substantially all contract assets as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 are expected to be collected within the Company’s estimated operating cycle, except for retainage and claims pertaining to certain contracts. The Company’s operating cycle may extend beyond one year. The Company is in the process of negotiating or awaiting approval of unapproved change orders and claims with its customers. The Company is proceeding with its contractual rights to recoup additional costs incurred from its customers based on completing work associated with change orders, including change orders with pending change order pricing, or claims related to significant changes in scope which resulted in substantial delays and additional costs in completing the work. The Company may take legal action if it and the customer cannot reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Information about significant customers Significant Customers as a Percentage of Accounts Receivable, Net As of January 3, 2025 Customer one 40.6 % Customer two 20.2 % As of December 29, 2023 Customer one 32.5 % Customer two 21.7 % Significant Customers as a Percentage of Revenue Fiscal Year Ended January 3, 2025 Customer one 17.1 % Customer two 15.4 % Customer three 10.2 % Customer four 10.1 % Fiscal Year Ended December 29, 2023 Customer one 16.7 % Customer two 14.5 % Customer three 12.9 % Revisions in Estimates Changes in contract estimates resulted in net decreases in gross margin of $ 63 million for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, primarily due to settlements of claims on two large projects and increased forecasted costs to complete on loss projects. 75 Changes in contract estimates resulted in net decreases in gross margin of $ 10 million for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2023, primarily due to increased forecasted costs to complete and an agreed upon contract settlement lower than previously estimated, partially offset by increases in gross margin on an outstanding claim. Note 4. Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities A summary of financial information of the consolidated joint ventures is as follows: January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Current assets $ 11,063 $ 34,071 Non-current assets - 8,971 Total assets 11,063 43,042 Current liabilities 63,512 59,602 Non-current liabilities 2,433 2,013 Total liabilities $ 65,945 $ 61,615 Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Revenue $ 49,454 $ 23,599 The assets of the Company’s consolidated joint ventures are restricted for use only by the particular joint venture and are not available for the general operations of the Company.

Revenue included related to services provided to unconsolidated joint venture related parties is as follows: Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Revenue $ 2,625 $ 3,415 Amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets related to services provided to unconsolidated joint ventures for the years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 are as follows: January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Accounts receivable, net $ 2,098 $ 2,092 Note 5. Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets The following tables summarize the components of property, plant and equipment as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023: January 3, 2025 December 29, 2023 (In thousands) Building and land $ 171 $ 4,002 Machinery, equipment, and vehicles 51,227 70,250 Office furniture and equipment 6,876 9,324 Property, plant and equipment, gross 58,274 83,576 Accumulated depreciation ( 39,142 ) ( 37,203 ) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 19,132 $ 46,373 Fiscal Year Ended January 3, December 29, 2025 2023 (In thousands) Depreciation expense $ 12,276 $ 14,338 Depreciation is recorded within cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses and is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements and capitalized leases, the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or its estimated useful life. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, Shimmick completed the sale-leaseback of the Company's equipment yard in Tracy, California. The agreement consummated the sale of the equipment yard for $ 20.5 million and allows us to continue using the property pursuant to a separately executed seven-year lease. The Company received net proceeds of $ 17 million, after adjustments for prepaid rent through February 2026 and related closing costs, which were used to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $ 17 million in gain on sale of assets within the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, Shimmick made the strategic decision to enhance the Company’s current ERP system rather than implementing a new platform which, due to prior capitalized pre-implementation 77 costs and remaining contractual obligations of $ 5 million included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, resulted in a charge of $ 16 million recorded in the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025. The following tables present the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets, including the weighted- average useful lives for each major intangible asset category and in total: January 3, 2025 Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life Intangible Assets, Gross Accumulated Amortization Intangible Assets, Net (In thousands) Trademark 3 $ 10,600 $ ( 6,057 ) $ 4,543 Customer contracts 2 6,373 ( 4,249 ) 2,124 Total $ 16,973 $ ( 10,306 ) $ 6,667 December 29, 2023 Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life Intangible Assets, Gross Accumulated Amortization Intangible Assets, Net (In thousands) Trademark 4 $ 10,600 $ ( 4,543 ) $ 6,057 Customer contracts 3 6,527 ( 3,340 ) 3,187 Total $ 17,127 $ ( 7,883 ) $ 9,244 Amortization of intangibles was $ 3 million for each of the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s estimated aggregate remaining amortization is as follows: Amortization Expense (In thousands) 2025 $ 2,577 2026 2,577 2027 1,513 Total $ 6,667 Note 6. Debt Total debt outstanding is presented on the consolidated balance sheets as follows: (In thousands) January 3, 2025 December 29, 2023 Credit Agreement $ 11,503 $ — Revolving Credit Facility — 29,914 Unamortized debt issuance costs ( 2,025 ) ( 287 ) Long-term debt, net $ 9,478 $ 29,627 78 Revolving Credit Facility On March 27, 2023, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with MidCap Financial Services, LLC, which originally provided a total commitment of $ 30 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has been subsequently amended, most recently on September 25, 2024 . As amended, the Revolving Credit Facility provides for a total commitment of $ 15 million and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 1.0 % floor, plus 5.50 %. Further, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an annual collateral management fee of 0.50 % and an annual unused line fee of 0.50 %. The Revolving Credit Facility includes certain financial operating covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $ 7.5 million. We are not aware of any instances of noncompliance with the key financial covenants as of January 3, 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility was terminated on March 13, 2025 upon execution of the ACF Credit Agreement (as defined below). During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, we repaid $ 30 million of the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and paid $ 2 million in cash interest. Credit Agreement On May 20, 2024, we, as guarantor, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries as borrowers (“Borrowers”), Alter Domus (US) LLC, as agent, and AECOM and Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company (“BHSI”) as lenders, entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on September 25, 2024, January 30, 2025 and March 12, 2025 to, among other things, permit the Company’s concurrent amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility and waive the specified noncompliance of the Material Project Documents covenant regarding entering into non-bonded contracts. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides borrowing capacity up to $ 60 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to one month Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a 1.00 % floor, plus 3.50 %. Interest on any outstanding amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement will be payable, in kind or in cash at our election, on the last day of each month and upon prepayment. Payment-in-kind interest accrued and capitalized shall not constitute loan outstanding amounts for the purposes of calculating loan availability. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, the Company paid $ 0.3 million in cash interest and accrued $ 2 million in non-cash payment-in-kind interest. The Credit Agreement matures on May 20, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement until the Maturity Date. Obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and secured by a lien on substantially all of our and the Borrowers' assets. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants that limit liens, asset sales and investments, in each case subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant as tested quarterly commencing with the close of the first quarter of 2026 . The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and event of default provisions customary for a transaction of this type. Subsequent to January 3, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with a non-financial covenant regarding entering into material non-bonded contracts as set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of January 3, 2025 and following the March 12, 2025 amendment, we are not aware of any instances of noncompliance with non-financial or financial covenants. As of January 3, 2025, $ 9 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The transactions with AECOM also included a mutual release and settlement of certain claims with AECOM and a corresponding agreement to issue 7,745,000 shares of our common shares to AECOM. 5,144,622 of the common shares were issued on May 20, 2024 and issuance of the remaining 2,600,378 shares was completed following stockholder approval on June 26, 2024. Of the total common shares issued, 1,036,949 were held in escrow which resulted in an AECOM voting interest of 19.6 % as of January 3, 2025. The Company recognized a loss of $ 1 million in other expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations as a result of the share issuance which 79 represented the excess of the $ 13 million fair market value of the common shares at the time of issuance over the $ 12 million carrying value of the contingent consideration liabilities settled with AECOM. ACF Credit Agreement On March 12, 2025, we entered into a Credit Agreement (“ACF Credit Agreement”) with ACF FINCO I LP, which provides a total commitment of $ 15 million and bears interest at an annual rate of adjusted term SOFR, subject to a 2.0 % floor, plus 4.50 %. Further, the ACF Credit Agreement is subject to an annual unused line fee of 0.50 %. The ACF Credit Agreement includes certain financial operating covenants, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $ 5 million. The ACF Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of March 12, 2028 or 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Credit Agreement. Note 7.

The components of deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows: January 3, 2025 December 29, 2023 (In thousands) Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization $ ( 640 ) $ ( 10,598 ) Right-of-use asset ( 6,640 ) ( 6,654 ) Total deferred tax liabilities $ ( 7,280 ) $ ( 17,252 ) Deferred tax assets: Intangible assets $ 30,317 $ 34,457 Contract loss reserve 7,854 11,143 Investment in partnerships 22,770 16,453 Lease liability 6,181 6,586 Stock compensation 3,083 1,428 Accrued expenses and reserves 7,814 5,895 Section 382 limitation 45,587 39,622 Net operating loss carryforwards 51,777 24,629 Other deferred tax assets 2,173 715 Total deferred tax assets $ 177,556 $ 140,928 Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance $ 170,276 $ 123,676 Less: Valuation allowance ( 170,276 ) ( 123,676 ) Net deferred tax assets $ — $ — As of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, gross deferred tax assets were $ 178 million and $ 141 million, respectively. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $ 170 million and $ 124 million as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. The Company has performed an assessment of positive and negative evidence, including the nature, frequency, and severity of cumulative financial reporting losses in recent years, the future reversal of existing temporary differences, predictability of future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences of the character necessary to realize the asset, relevant carryforward periods, taxable income in carry-back years if carry- back is permitted under tax law, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset that would otherwise expire. The $ 46 million increase in the valuation allowance is attributed to the full valuation allowance being recorded on all increases in deferred tax assets in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax matters as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At January 3, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $ 189 million and $ 188 million, respectively. The U.S. federal NOL carryforward does not expire and can be carried forward indefinitely, but can only offset up to 80% of taxable income in future years. The state NOL carryforwards have both indefinite and limited carryforward periods, depending on state jurisdictions, and expire beginning in 2036 through 2043 . At January 3, 2025, the Company had a full valuation allowance related to the tax-effected amount of these net operating losses. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded at January 3, 2025. The Company files income tax returns in numerous tax jurisdictions, including the U.S. and multiple U.S. states. The statute of limitations generally ranges from three to five years for major jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Prior to the acquisition, Shimmick filed as a subsidiary of their parent company, AECOM. In connection with the separation, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement. Under the tax matters agreement, AECOM is generally responsible for all taxes associated with consolidated federal and state filings imposed on AECOM and 81 its subsidiaries (including Shimmick) with respect to taxable periods ended on or prior to January 1, 2021. Also, pursuant to this agreement, AECOM is generally responsible for all taxes associated with separately filed state and local tax filings imposed on Shimmick and its subsidiaries with respect to taxable periods ended on or prior to January 1, 2021. Under these circumstances, Shimmick is only liable for tax periods filed on a standalone basis following the acquisition date. Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation On April 12, 2021, the Company’s Board approved the Company’s 2021 Stock Plan (the “2021 Stock Plan”). The 2021 Stock Plan reserves 5,477,200 of the Company’s shares for issuance of incentive instruments, including Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”), Non-statutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. ISOs granted under the Plan have a term of 10 years and vest over four years of service. On November 13, 2023, the Company’s Board approved the Shimmick Corporation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available is 3,729,149 under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (equal to ten percent (10%) of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately following the completion of the Company’s IPO on November 16, 2023 plus (ii) the reserved and authorized shares for awards under the Company’s 2021 Stock Plan that were not granted as of November 13, 2023). The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan automatically increases annually on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning with the 2024 fiscal year in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year unless the plan administration determines that a lesser amount should instead be issued. The shares reserved under the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan are for issuance of incentive instruments, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and other share-based awards. Total compensation expense related to stock-based grants was $ 6 million and $ 2 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based grants to employees of Shimmick outstanding as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 was $ 6 million and $ 3 million, respectively, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ weighted average remaining vesting period of 0.9 years and 1.3 years, respectively. For the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, stock option activity was as follows: Stock Options Number of shares Weighted average exercise price per share Weighted average grant date fair value Weighted average years of remaining contractual term Outstanding as of December 29, 2023 4,137,183 $ 1.26 $ — 7.6 Exercised ( 416,057 ) 1.26 0.66 — Forfeited & expired ( 383,976 ) 1.26 0.66 — Outstanding as of January 3, 2025 3,337,150 1.26 0.66 6.3 Exercisable as of January 3, 2025 2,983,056 $ 1.26 $ 0.66 6.3 The following table summarizes the activities for unvested Shimmick restricted stock units for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025: 82 Restricted Stock Units Number of shares Weighted average grant date fair value Unvested as of December 29, 2023 576,714 $ 6.49 Awarded 2,497,630 2.51 Forfeited ( 61,656 ) 6.32 Outstanding as of January 3, 2025 3,012,688 2.88 Ended vested as of January 3, 2025 395,578 5.25 Ended unvested as of January 3, 2025 2,617,110 $ 2.88 Note 9. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of employee and director stock options. Stock options are considered dilutive whenever the exercise price is less than the average market price of the stock during the period and antidilutive whenever the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the common stock during the period.

Employee Retirement Plans Defined Contribution Profit Sharing Plan The Company sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering substantially all non-union persons employed by the Company, whereby employees may contribute a percentage of compensation, limited to maximum allowed amounts under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company made matching contributions of $ 2 million for each of the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023. Multiemployer Pension Plans The Company participates in construction-industry multiemployer pension plans. Generally, the plans provide defined benefits to substantially all employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, a contributor to a multiemployer plan is liable, upon termination or withdrawal from a plan, for its proportionate share of a plan’s unfunded vested liability. The Company’s aggregate contributions to these multiemployer plans were $ 11 million and $ 15 million for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, respectively. 85 Our participation in significant plans for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three digit plan number. The zone status is based on the latest information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 % funded, plans in the yellow zone are generally less than 80 % funded, and plans in the green zone are generally at least 80 % funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented. The “Surcharge Imposed” column includes plans in a red zone status that require a payment of a surcharge in excess of regular contributions.

Under Federal pension law, if a multiemployer pension plan is determined to be in critical or endangered status, the plan must provide notice of this status to participants, beneficiaries, the bargaining parties, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and the Department of Labor. The Company has also observed that these plans have not submitted any Critical or Endangered Status Notices to the Department of Labor for calendar years that the Company has not received notification. The Critical or Endangered Status Notices can be accessed at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/about-ebsa/our-activities/public-disclosure/critical-status-notices The Company is not aware of any significant future obligations or funding requirements related to these plans other than the ongoing contributions that are paid as hours are worked by plan participants. Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies In the Company’s joint venture arrangements, the liability of each partner is usually joint and several. This means as each joint venture partner may become liable for the entire risk of performance guarantees provided by each partner to the customer. Typically, each joint venture partner indemnifies the other partners for any liabilities incurred in excess of the liabilities the other party is obligated to bear under the respective joint venture agreement. In addition, the Company may be required to guarantee performance directly to the customer. The Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under outstanding performance guarantees related to joint venture projects due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the nature and extent of any contractual defaults by the other joint venture partners, resource availability, potential performance delays caused by the defaults, the location of the projects, and the terms of the related contracts. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to other claims, lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of its business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, and employment matters. The Company recognizes a liability for contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. To date, no such matters are material to the consolidated statements of operations. 86 In certain contracts, there are provisions that require the Company to pay liquidated damages if the Company is responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which customers may make claims against the Company for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management has recognized relevant probable liquidated damages as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023, and believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has recorded contingent consideration as of January 3, 2025 and December 29, 2023 at its estimated fair value. The Company is unable to reasonably determine an estimated range of amounts of the payments that could be made due to the uncertainty of future events. Guarantees The Company obtains bonding on construction contracts through third-party bonding companies. As is customary in the construction industry, the Company indemnifies the third-party bonding companies for any losses incurred by it in connection with bonds that are issued. The Company has granted the third-party bonding companies a security interest in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract rights for that obligation. The Company typically indemnifies contract owners for claims arising during the construction process and carries insurance coverage for such claims. Letters of Credit In the ordinary course of business and under certain contracts, the Company is required to post standby letters of credit for its insurance carriers. The Company did not have any letters of credit outstanding as of January 3, 2025 or December 29, 2023. 87 Item 9.
