Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 11. 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, and believes that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In May 2025, a labor management committee affiliated with the Pipefitters Union filed a lawsuit against Shimmick and 20 other defendants, including sureties, alleging violations of the California False Claims Act and related claims. The lawsuit involves 27 projects across 23 public agencies in California, none of which are parties to the case. The Pipefitters Union alleges $4.7 billion in damages, which is based on the cumulative contract values for each project, plus treble damages under the California False Claims Act. The Union alleges Shimmick improperly assigned work to the Laborers Union instead of the Pipefitters Union and violated apprenticeship rules by failing to meet the required apprentice-to-journeyperson work ratio. Shimmick denies all claims, and asserts exceptions and disclosures occurred such that the claims have no merit. Shimmick also disputes the legal theory underlying the case and views the use of the False Claims Act as a misapplication of the statute. The process of discovery and evaluation is in its early stages and it is too early to assess if any loss is probable. The Company has recorded contingent consideration as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025 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 October 3, 2025 or January 3, 2025.
