Acquisitions

On December 3, 2012, Dycom acquired substantially all of the telecommunications infrastructure services subsidiaries (the "Acquired Subsidiaries") of Quanta Services, Inc. for $275.0 million in cash plus an adjustment of approximately $40.4 million for working capital received in excess of a target amount and approximately $3.7 million for other specified items. As of April 27, 2013, the Company had paid the full purchase price of $319.0 million, net of cash acquired, with the final payment of $4.2 million made during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The acquisition was funded through a combination of borrowings under a new $400 million credit facility and cash on hand. On December 12, 2012, Dycom's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dycom Investments, Inc., issued $90.0 million of 7.125% senior subordinated notes due 2021 and used the net proceeds to repay credit facility borrowings. See Note 10, Debt, for further information regarding the Company's debt financing.

The Company recognized approximately $6.5 million of acquisition costs during the nine months ended April 27, 2013, which are included within general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $1.4 million and $2.3 million in integration costs during the three and nine months ended April 27, 2013, which are also included within general and administrative expenses.

The Acquired Subsidiaries provide specialty contracting services, including engineering, construction, maintenance and installation services to telecommunications providers, and other construction and maintenance services to electric and gas utilities and others. Principal business facilities are located in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington. On a combined basis, the businesses operate in 49 states serving over 300 individual customers. The Company believes that the acquisition strengthens its customer base, geographic scope and technical services offerings. In addition, it reinforces the Company's rural engineering and construction capabilities, wireless construction resources, and broadband construction competencies. The Company expects the acquisition to enhance the efficiency of the Company's operating scale.

Based on the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated by the Company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective fair values on the acquisition date. Purchase price in excess of fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is based on information regarding the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition and is preliminary. Management has determined the fair values used in the purchase price allocation for intangible assets with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist based on historical data, estimated discounted future cash flows, contract backlog amounts and expected royalty rates for trademarks and trade names among other information. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires a number of judgments and is subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date but at that time was unknown to the Company, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Adjustments in the purchase price allocation may require a recasting of the amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets. The allocation of the purchase price is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 when the valuations for intangible assets, property and equipment and other amounts are finalized.

The purchase price of the Acquired Subsidiaries is allocated on a preliminary basis as follows and reflects the elimination of intercompany balances (dollars in millions):

Goodwill of $85.9 million and amortizing intangible assets of $91.1 million related to the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further information on amortization and estimated useful lives of intangible assets acquired. During the three months ended April 27, 2013, the Company made certain purchase accounting adjustments which decreased goodwill approximately $2.3 million. The decrease was primarily related to the fair values assigned to property and equipment and other assets, including vehicles leases, of $2.5 million. The remaining $0.2 million net change was based on information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, including the final working capital adjustment.

The results of operations of the Acquired Subsidiaries have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition. For the three months ended April 27, 2013 and the year to date period since acquisition, the Acquired Subsidiaries earned revenues of $122.9 million and $198.8 million, respectively, incurred intangible amortization expense of $5.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, and their net income since the date of acquisition was immaterial.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on July 31, 2011, the first day of the Company's 2012 fiscal year. The pro forma results include certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, interest and debt amortization expense related to the Company's debt financing of the transaction, elimination of expenses charged by the Seller to the businesses which will not continue after the acquisition date, and the income tax impact of these adjustments. Pro forma earnings for the nine months ended April 28, 2012 were adjusted to include $6.5 million of acquisition related costs as the pro forma information presents the condensed consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on July 31, 2011. Accordingly, the pro forma earnings for the nine months ended April 27, 2013 were adjusted to exclude these acquisition related costs. Additionally, pro forma earnings in the three and nine months ended April 27, 2013 and April 28, 2012 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of amortization and depreciation as if the acquisition had occurred on July 31, 2011. This includes the impact of amortization expense, including customer relationships and contract backlog which is being recognized on an accelerated basis related to the expected economic benefit, and depreciation expense which is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the related property and equipment. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations of the combined companies had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented nor is it indicative of future results.
