Industry Impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic Intermediate to Longer Term Impacts Prior investments by major industry participants to construct or upgrade wireline networks have enabled astounding increases in peak demands on telecommunication networks; programs are likely to accelerate Our customers’ continued commitments to wireline and wireless network investments evident in their recent commentary Social distancing measures tangibly highlighted the costs of physical proximity and connections throughout the economy High capacity/low latency networks are key to enabling safe virtual connections throughout society increasing the value of our customers’ networks and further creating additional possible new drivers for network investment Social equity will demand that access to distance learning, tele-medicine and other newly essential applications be unencumbered by rural geography or socio-economic status Near Term Impacts Macro-economic uncertainty over the balance of this year may influence some customer plans Customers are focused on the possible direct impacts on their businesses including increased consumer and enterprise demands, SMB dislocations, a potential decline in new housing formation, overall consumer customer credit deterioration, and reduced churn and new subscriber additions Some disruptions may be expected to the overall municipal environment as authorities re-engineer application and inspection processes and weigh needed jobsite access against increased social/economic openness On balance, we expect the COVID-19 pandemic will reinforce and eventually accelerate pre-pandemic industry trends 5

Outlook Closely monitoring impact of COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business We have taken proactive measures to maintain business continuity, manage costs and preserve the solid financial position of our company Encouraged by Q1 2021 performance after the onset of the pandemic Seeing stable overall demand for our services as we look ahead to Q2 2021 and anticipate Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA % which is broadly consistent with the Q2 2021 outlook provided in February 2020 Given the difficulty to project our revenue and results of operations during this period of greater economic uncertainty, the Company is not providing detailed financial guidance for Q2 2021 or subsequent quarters at this time Ultimate impact of the pandemic on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition is likely to be determined by factors which are uncertain, unpredictable and outside of our control 11

Notes 1) Organic growth (decline) % adjusted for revenues from acquired businesses and storm restoration services, when applicable. 2) 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, GAAP results. Participants in the Company’s industry often 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. 3) As of April 25, 2020 and January 25, 2020, the Company had $52.2 million and $52.3 million, respectively, of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility matures in October 2023. 4) As of both April 25, 2020 and January 25, 2020, Liquidity represents the sum of the Company’s availability on its revolving facility, including the incremental amount of eligible cash and equivalents above $50 million as permitted by the Company’s Senior Credit Facility and other available cash and equivalents. 5) 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. 6) Net debt as of Q3 2020 consisted of $485.0 million 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 2021, $450.0 million Term Loan Facilities and $103.0 million Revolving Facility, offset by $11.8 million in cash and equivalents. 13
