In case you or anyone needs a refreshed...

The SSPV (Society of St. Pius V) was formed in 1983 as a result of 9 priests who broke away from the SSPX (Society of St. Pius X) over liturgical differences and acceptance of the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the legitimacy of Pope John Paul II.

Formally excommunicated? No.
De facto excommunicated? Yes, since they are sedevacantists.They have no desire to be in communion with the Pope.

The choice of liturgical calendars is not an excommunicable offense.
