Acquisitions

Fiscal 2014 - During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company acquired a telecommunications specialty construction contractor in Canada for $0.7 million. The acquisition was not material to the Company.

Fiscal 2013 - On December 3, 2012, Dycom acquired substantially all of the telecommunications infrastructure services subsidiaries (the "Acquired Subsidiaries") of Quanta Services, Inc. for the sum of $275.0 million in cash, 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. 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 Investments, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $90.0 million of 7.125% senior subordinated notes due 2021 and used the net proceeds to repay approximately $90.0 million of the credit facility borrowings. See Note 10, Debt, for further information regarding the Company's debt financing.

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.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company acquired Sage Telecommunications Corp of Colorado, LLC ("Sage") and certain assets of a tower construction and maintenance company for a combined total of $11.3 million, net of cash acquired. Sage provides telecommunications construction and project management services primarily for cable operators in the Western United States. These acquisitions were not material to the Company.

The purchase prices of these businesses acquired have been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values on the respective dates of acquisition. Purchase price in excess of fair value of the separately identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been allocated to goodwill. Purchase price allocations are based on information regarding the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the dates of acquisition. Management determined the fair values used in the purchase price allocations for intangible assets based on historical data, estimated discounted future cash flows, contract backlog amounts, if applicable, and expected royalty rates for trademarks and trade names as well as certain other assumptions. 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. For the Acquired Subsidiaries, the fair values used in the purchase price allocation for intangible assets were determined by management with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist. The allocation of the purchase price of the Acquired Subsidiaries was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Purchase price allocations of businesses acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the third quarter of fiscal 2014 are preliminary and as such are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 when the valuations for intangible assets and other amounts are finalized. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition dates but was unknown by the Company, may become known to the Company during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed twelve months from the acquisition date. Adjustments in the purchase price allocations may require an adjustment of the amounts allocated to goodwill.

Goodwill of $87.9 million and amortizing intangible assets of $90.6 million related to the Acquired Subsidiaries 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.

The results of operations of businesses acquired are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from their dates of acquisition. For the three and nine months ended April 26, 2014 the Acquired Subsidiaries earned revenues of $99.1 million and $355.6 million, respectively, and recognized intangible amortization expense of $2.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively. Inclusive of charges allocated for management costs, the Acquired Subsidiaries had net income of less than $0.1 million and approximately $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended April 26, 2014, respectively. For the three months ended April 27, 2013 and the year-to-date fiscal 2013 period subsequent to acquisition, the Acquired Subsidiaries earned revenues of $122.9 million and $198.8 million, respectively, and recognized intangible amortization expense of $5.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The fiscal 2013 net income, inclusive of charges allocated for management costs, was immaterial.

Pro forma contract revenues, income before taxes, and net income were $1.358 billion, $60.5 million, and $36.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended April 27, 2013, resulting in basic and diluted pro forma earnings per share of $1.10 and $1.08, respectively. This unaudited pro forma information presents the Company's consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of the Acquired Subsidiaries had occurred on July 31, 2011, the first day of the Company's 2012 fiscal year and includes certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired, interest expense related to the Company's debt financing of the transaction, and the income tax impact of these adjustments. Pro forma earnings during the nine months ended April 27, 2013 have been adjusted to reflect 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. Pro forma results also reflect 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.
