Contract revenues of $1.136 billion; 4.6% organic growth year over year
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $166.8 million, or 14.7% of contract revenues
Net Income of $83.7 million, or $2.82 per common share diluted

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida,  November 21, 2023 - Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced today its results for the third quarter ended October 28, 2023. Contract revenues were $1.136 billion for the quarter ended October 28, 2023, compared to $1.042 billion in the year ago quarter. Contract revenues increased 4.6% on an organic basis after excluding $45.2 million of contract revenues from an acquired business that was not owned during the year ago quarter.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $166.8 million, or 14.7% of contract revenues, for the quarter ended October 28, 2023, compared to $114.6 million, or 11.0% of contract revenues, in the year ago quarter. Net income was $83.7 million, or $2.82 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended October 28, 2023, compared to $54.0 million, or $1.80 per common share diluted, in the year ago quarter.

The impacts of a change order and the closeout of several projects increased contract revenues by $26.5 million for the quarter ended October 28, 2023. After the impacts of certain other costs, these items contributed $23.6 million to both gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA. As a result, reported gross margin was increased by 1.6% and reported Adjusted EBITDA was increased by 1.8%, both as a percentage of contract revenues. On an after-tax basis, these items contributed approximately $17.5 million to reported net income, or $0.59 per common share diluted.

Year-to-Date Highlights

Contract revenues were $3.223 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $2.891 billion for the comparable year ago period. Contract revenues increased 9.9% on an organic basis after excluding $45.2 million of contract revenues from an acquired business that was not owned during the comparable year ago period.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $411.1 million, or 12.8% of contract revenues, for the nine months ended October 28, 2023, compared to $283.0 million, or 9.8% of contract revenues, in the comparable year ago period.

Outlook

The Company expects organic contract revenues for the quarter ending January 27, 2024 to be in line with contract revenues for the quarter ended January 28, 2023. In addition, the Company expects approximately $50 million of acquired contract revenues for the quarter ending January 27, 2024.

DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company’s quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for the period reported with the Company’s performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used as follows:

Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entire period in both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration services. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. Management believes Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s revenue performance with prior periods.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates.

Industry Update The effort to deploy high-capacity fiber networks continues to meaningfully broaden the set of opportunities for our industry • Major industry participants are constructing or upgrading significant wireline networks across broad sections of the country • High-capacity fiber networks are increasingly viewed as the most cost-effective technology, enabling multiple revenue streams from a single investment • Fiber network deployment opportunities are increasing in rural America; federal and state support programs for the construction of communications networks in unserved and underserved areas across the country are unprecedented and meaningfully increase the rural market that we expect will ultimately be addressed Macroeconomic conditions, including those impacting the cost of capital, may influence the execution of some industry plans We expect demand may fluctuate less amongst customers as increases in the cost of capital slow. For several customers, the pace of deployments is increasing into next year, including for those whose capital expenditures were more heavily weighted toward the first half of calendar 2023. For these customers, we are pleased that some activity may already be increasing. We are encouraged by recent longer-term industry financings that have expanded the pool of capital available to fund future industry growth Our scale and financial strength position us well to take advantage of these opportunities to deliver valuable services to our customers, including integrated planning, engineering and design, procurement and construction and maintenance services 5

Notes 1. Organic growth (decline) % from businesses that are included for the entire period in both the current and comparable prior period, adjusted for contract revenues from storm restoration services, and for the additional week of operations during the fourth quarter as a result of the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal year, when applicable. 2. Q3 2024 percentage of contract revenues for customers #6 through #10 included in All Other Customers are presented in the following table: 3. On October 3, 2022, Brightspeed acquired Lumen’s ILEC (incumbent local exchange carrier) business in 20 states (the “20-State ILEC Business”). The Company continues to serve both Lumen and Brightspeed in connection with various work, including the 20-State ILEC Business. For comparison purposes, Lumen’s Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue and Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue Growth percentage excludes the estimated contract revenues related to the 20-State ILEC Business for the quarter ended October 29, 2022. Refer to Company’s Q3 2024 Non-GAAP Reconciliations report for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures. 4. Top 5 customers included Lumen, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and Customer #5 for Q3 2024, compared to AT&T, Lumen, Comcast, Verizon, and Frontier for Q3 2023. 5. The Company’s backlog represents an estimate of services to be performed pursuant to master service agreements and other contractual agreements over the terms of those contracts. These estimates are based on contract terms and evaluations regarding the timing of the services to be provided. In the case of master service agreements, backlog is estimated based on the work performed in the preceding 12-month period, when available. When estimating backlog for newly initiated master service agreements and other long and short-term contracts, the Company also considers the anticipated scope of the contract and information received from the customer during the procurement process. A significant majority of the Company’s backlog comprises services under master service agreements and other long-term contracts. Backlog is not a measure defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information provided in accordance with GAAP. Participants in the Company’s industry also disclose a calculation of their backlog; however, the Company’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Dycom utilizes the calculation of backlog to assist in measuring aggregate awards under existing contractual relationships with its customers. The Company believes its backlog disclosures will assist investors in better understanding this estimate of the services to be performed pursuant to awards by its customers under existing contractual relationships. 6. As of both Q2 2024 and Q3 2024, the Company had $47.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. 7. Liquidity represents the sum of availability from the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, considering net funded debt balances, and available cash and equivalents. For calculation of availability under the Senior Credit Facility, applicable cash and equivalents are netted against the funded debt amount. 8. DSO is calculated as the summation of current and non-current accounts receivable (including unbilled receivables), net of allowance for doubtful accounts, plus current contract assets, less contract liabilities, divided by average revenue per day during the respective quarter. Long-term contract assets are excluded from the calculation of DSO, as these amounts represent payments made to customers pursuant to long-term agreements and are recognized as a reduction of contract revenues over the period for which the related services are provided to the customers. 13 Charter Brightspeed Ubiquity Frontier Windstream 5.5% 5.3% 3.6% 3.0% 1.9%

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company’s quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for the period reported with the Company’s performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used as follows:

Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entire period in both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration services, adjusted for the additional week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, as a result of the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal year. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. Management believes Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s revenue performance with prior periods. For comparison purposes, Lumen’s Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue and Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue Growth percentage excludes the estimated contract revenues for the quarter ended October 29, 2022 related to the ILEC (incumbent local exchange carrier) business in 20 states it sold to Brightspeed on October 3, 2022.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates.

Notional Net Debt - Notional net debt is a Non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by subtracting cash and equivalents from the aggregate face amount of outstanding debt. Management believes notional net debt is a helpful measure to assess the Company’s liquidity.
