Description
We are a leading provider of water and other critical infrastructure solutions nationwide. Through our predecessor entities, we have a long history of working on 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 2022 we were nationally ranked as a top ten builder of dams and reservoirs (#1), water supply (#3), water treatment and desalination plants (#8) and mass transit (#9). We are led by industry veterans, many with over 20 years of experience, and work closely with our customers to deliver complete solutions, including long-term operations and maintenance. The United Nations has stated that climate change is primarily a water crisis as water becomes more scarce, unpredictable, polluted, or a combination of all three. Climate change, along with other emerging issues like drinking water contamination, requires significant and complex solutions like those we provide. According to a 2023 S&P Global Construction Spending report, the total nominal market opportunity for water infrastructure is forecasted to be in excess of $60 billion per year. In addition to organic growth opportunities, the existing water industry is highly fragmented by geography and capability, and we believe there is significant opportunity to both further expand our core infrastructure services and provide new service through acquisitions. We selectively focus on the following types of infrastructure projects: • Water Treatment: We expand, rehabilitate, upgrade, build and rebuild water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, including desalination plants. We implement complex cleantech treatment technologies including ozonation, biological activated carbon, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, chemical treatment, and oxidation. We also conduct facility commissioning. Our projects and solutions aim to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water, protect public health, and reduce waterborne diseases. Our work contributes to protecting the environment by removing pollutants and contaminants from wastewater before it is released back into ecosystems. Additionally, water treatment infrastructure supports sustainable water management, which conserves this precious resource for future generations. • Water Resources: We build, expand, and improve water storage and conveyance, dams, levees, flood control systems, pump stations, and coastal protection. We also upgrade and expand dams, levees and locks along our nation’s waterways to enable continued emissions-reducing movement of goods. Select projects of ours enable reliable water supply, generate hydroelectric power, and 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. We were founded in 1990 in California. In 2017, AECOM acquired Shimmick and consolidated us with its existing construction services, which included former legacy construction operations from Morrison Knudsen, Washington Group International, and others. In January 2021, we began operating as an independent company under new private ownership. While our legacy companies have a long history operating in the United States, we have a limited operating history as an independent company. Following our separation from AECOM, we began a transformation to shift our strategy to meet the nation’s growing need for water and other critical infrastructure. We believe our competitive strengths, which are discussed below, position us to execute this strategy and capitalize on market opportunities. However, our limited operating history as an independent company and historical dependence on AECOM subject us to a number of risks, such as an inability to obtain necessary bonding and the need to incur additional operating expenses to create or supplement the corporate infrastructure necessary to operate as an independent company. We are also involved in ongoing disputes with AECOM, which could adversely impact our business. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, we generated revenue of $319.3 million and $293.6 million, respectively, and net (loss) income attributable to Shimmick Corporation of $(19.6) million and $3.7 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $(2.9) million and $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. Adjusted net (loss) income was $(12.0) million and $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we generated revenue of $664.2 million and $572.7 million, respectively, and net income attributable to Shimmick Corporation of $3.8 million and $45.4 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.0 million and $(193.6) million for the years ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Adjusted net income (loss) was $29.5 million and ($184.3) million for the years ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had a backlog of projects in excess of $1 billion, 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. --- Shimmick Corporation, the issuer of the common stock in this offering, was incorporated on October 18, 2019 as a Delaware corporation. On September 12, 2023, we effected a name change from “SCCI National Holdings, Inc.” to “Shimmick Corporation”. Our business is conducted through Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. and our other operating subsidiaries. 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 us and consolidated us 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 Transactions and began operating as an independent company under new private ownership. Our principal executive offices are located at 530 Technology Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618, and our telephone number is (510) 777-5000. Our principal website address is www.shimmick.com.
