Notes 1) During the quarter ended July 27, 2019, the Company entered into a contract modification that increased revenue produced by a large customer program. As a result, the Company recognized $11.8 million of contract revenues for services performed in prior periods, $0.8 million of related performance-based compensation expense, and $1.0 million of stock-based compensation. On an after-tax basis, these items contributed approximately $7.2 million to net income, or $0.23 per common share diluted, for the quarter and six months ended July 27, 2019. These amounts are excluded from the calculation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share for the quarter and six months ended July 27, 2019. 2) Organic growth (decline) % adjusted for revenues from acquired businesses and storm restoration services, when applicable. 3) 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. 4) As of both July 25, 2020 and April 25, 2020, the Company had $52.2 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility matures in October 2023. 5) As of both July 25, 2020 and April 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. 6) 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. 7) Notional 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. Notional net debt as of Q4 2020 consisted of $460.0 million 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 2021 and $444.4 million Term Loan Facilities, offset by $54.6 million in cash and equivalents. Notional net debt is a Non-GAAP financial measure. 12
