Conclusion Firm and strengthening end market opportunities Fiber deployments enabling new wireless technologies are underway in many regions of the country Wireless construction activity in support of expanded coverage and capacity has begun to accelerate through the deployment of enhanced macro cells and new small cells Telephone companies are deploying FTTH to enable 1 gigabit high speed connections Cable operators are deploying fiber to small and medium businesses and enterprises. Fiber deep deployments and new build opportunities are underway. Dramatically increased speeds to consumers are being provisioned and consumer data usage is growing Customers are consolidating supply chains creating opportunities for market share growth and increasing the long-term value of Dycom’s maintenance and operations business Dycom is increasingly providing integrated planning, engineering and design, procurement and construction and maintenance services for wired and converged wireless/wireline networks Encouraged that Dycom’s major customers are committed to multi-year capital spending initiatives 12

Notes 1) Organic growth (decline) % adjusted for revenues from acquired businesses and storm restoration services, when applicable. 2) Due to the change in the Company’s fiscal year end, the Company’s fiscal 2018 six month transition period consisted of Q1 2018 and Q2 2018. 3) Top 5 customers included Verizon, AT&T, CenturyLink, Comcast and Windstream for Q2 2020, compared to Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink and Charter for Q2 2019. 4) Our 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 twelve-month period, when available. When estimating backlog for newly initiated master service agreements and other long and short-term contracts, we also consider the anticipated scope of the contract and information received from the customer during the procurement process. A significant majority of our 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; however, it is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. 5) The Company had $52.3 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility at both July 27, 2019 and April 27, 2019. 6) Availability provided by the Company’s Senior Credit Facility includes incremental amounts of eligible cash and equivalents above $50 million. As of both July 27, 2019 and April 27, 2019, there were no incremental amounts included as Cash and equivalents were less than $50 million. 7) As of both July 27, 2019 and April 27, 2019, Total Liquidity represents the sum of the Availability on Revolving Facility and cash and equivalents. 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 (formerly referred to as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings) 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
