PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR THE NEXT FISCAL QUARTER
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, February 25, 2014 - Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced today its results for the second quarter ended January 25, 2014.
The Company reported:

• | Contract revenues of $390.5 million for the quarter ended January 25, 2014, compared to $369.3 million for the quarter ended January 26, 2013. Contract revenues for the quarter ended January 25, 2014 grew 0.9% on an organic basis after excluding revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 2013 from the three month periods ended January 25, 2014 and January 26, 2013 and $16.7 million of revenues for storm restoration services in the three months ended January 26, 2013. Revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 2013 were $111.5 million and $75.9 million for the three months ended January 25, 2014 and January 26, 2013, respectively.

• | Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) of $28.2 million for the three months ended January 25, 2014, compared to $37.2 million for the three months ended January 26, 2013.

• | Net loss of $3.1 million, or $0.09 loss per common share, for the quarter ended January 25, 2014, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended January 26, 2013. On a Non-GAAP basis, net income for the quarter ended January 26, 2013 was $5.2 million, or $0.15 per common share diluted. The Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended January 26, 2013 excludes $5.8 million in pre-tax acquisition related costs and a pre-tax write-off of $0.3 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the replacement of the Company’s credit facility in December 2012.

Worse than expected weather during the latter part of the second fiscal quarter of 2014 sharply impacted the Company’s results. Major snowfalls and extremely cold temperatures reduced the number of available workdays and negatively impacted productivity and margins.
The Company also reported:

• | Contract revenues of $903.2 million for the six months ended January 25, 2014, compared to $692.6 million for the six months ended January 26, 2013. Contract revenues for the six months ended January 25, 2014 grew 5.8% on an organic basis after excluding revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 2013 from the six month periods ended January 25, 2014 and January 26, 2013 and $16.7 million of revenues for storm restoration services in the six months ended January 26, 2013. Revenues from businesses acquired during fiscal 2013 were $268.6 million and $75.9 million for the six months ended January 25, 2014 and January 26, 2013, respectively.

• | Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) of $91.4 million for the six months ended January 25, 2014, compared to $77.6 million for the six months ended January 26, 2013.

• | Net income of $15.6 million, or $0.45 per common share diluted, for the six months ended January 25, 2014, compared to $13.3 million, or $0.40 per common share diluted, for the six months ended January 26, 2013. On a Non-GAAP basis, net income for the six months ended January 26, 2013 was $17.5 million, or $0.52 per common share diluted. The Non-GAAP net income for the six months ended January 26, 2013 excludes $6.5 million in pre-tax acquisition related costs and a pre-tax write-off of $0.3 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the replacement of the Company’s credit facility in December 2012.

The Company also announced its outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company currently expects revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 to range from $415.0 million to $435.0 million and diluted earnings per share to range from $0.19 to $0.26.
The Company has defined Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, acquisition related costs, write-off of deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. See the accompanying tables which present a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial information.
