What matters this quarter

Shimmick reported FY2025 revenue of $493 million with Shimmick Projects revenue up 12% year-over-year to $397 million, and guided to stronger backlog and margin growth in 2026 as non-core legacy projects are largely wound down.

Grounding quotes
  • “We finished 2025 strong and in line with our expectations in what was largely a transformational year for Shimmick.”
  • “Our overall 24-month pipeline remains robust, supporting $600 million to $1 billion of bidding volumes per month.”
  • “These are non-core loss projects with a 0 margin. But when you look at our total gross margin over the year, quarter-over-quarter, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%.”
  • “So we're very optimistic about 2026 and beyond for our company, and these new awards that we've announced and booked are a good indication of that as we shift towards more of the work that we won in a risk-balanced and effective way.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Shimmick Projects FY2025 revenue up 12% year-over-year to $397 million, representing 75% of total revenue
  • Shimmick Projects FY2025 gross margin expanded by 400 basis points to 10% (up 232% year-over-year)
  • Q4 2025 Shimmick Projects gross margin up 462% year-over-year, with all Q4 gross margin ($10 million) driven by Shimmick Projects
  • Backlog of $793 million with $139 million in Q4 new awards and a 1.4x book-to-burn ratio; Shimmick Projects represent over 89% of total backlog
  • $128 million in new awards added to backlog through February 2026, with $234 million in additional pending awards in water and electrical markets
  • First progressive design-build award (~ $55 million, Southern California) expected, and an estimated $200 million CM/GC bus infrastructure project for the 2028 LA Olympics approaching construction

Risks & pressure points

  • Full-year adjusted EBITDA fell sharply to $5 million from $61 million in the prior year
  • Full-year gross margin was only 7% and full-year net loss was $26 million
  • Q4 2025 total revenue declined to $100 million from $104 million year-over-year
  • Q4 2025 SG&A was approximately $11 million, with management indicating this is a reasonable run-rate assumption for 2026, potentially pressuring margins as revenue grows
  • Non-core legacy projects (~11% of backlog) still impact consolidated gross margin, and management flagged potential cost-overrun risk on remaining non-core wrap-ups

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“Our backlog has grown meaningfully and remains well above a 1:1 book-to-burn ratio, which is an important indicator of the underlying strength in our demand and our ability to win. We expect our book-to-burn ratio in the first quarter of 2026 to remain well above 1 as well, reinforcing the trajectory we've been on.” Ural Yal, CEO
“Additionally, we've been awarded contracts worth $128 million that have been added to our backlog so far in 2026. And lastly, after the year concluded, we've been selected as a preferred bidder on projects totaling $234 million, with projects that are predominantly in our core sectors of water and electrical construction and are mostly located in California and Texas.” Ural Yal, CEO
