But we have not changed our target of 1 million or so enablements by year-end. ” Strong Tailwinds For Fiber Deployments 8 FTTH Passings Outlook • Increasing consumer demand for bandwidth continues to drive fiber deployments • Fiber passings with telcos are poised to materially accelerate, with an estimated > 40 million premises to be connected to fiber through 2025; doubling current passings • By 2025, its estimated that almost 60% of US homes and businesses will have a direct fiber connection, vs. approximately 32% at the end of 2020 Increasing clarity around US telco fiber build plans “Fiber, in my point of view, is a defensible right of way and a strategic advantage, and that's why I'm pushing and moving down that direction. And it helps all of our businesses...I think we're going to be in a bit of a foot race right now. I actually think this sets up reasonably well because I think we're moving from a time of largely 0 cost of capital to real cost of capital and real returns. I want to make as much progress as quickly as I can. ” - John Stankey, CEO AT&T, May 2022 Source: Wells Fargo Equity Research Estimates - Jeffrey Storey, CEO Lumen, August 2022

22 This slide was used on August 24, 2022 in connection with the Company’s conference call for its fiscal 2023 second quarter results. This information is provided for your reference only and should not be interpreted as a reiteration of these projections by the Company at any time after the date originally provided. Reference is made to slide 2 titled “Important Information” with respect to these slides. The information and statements contained in this slide that are forward-looking are based on information that was available at the time the slide was initially prepared and/or management’s good faith belief at that time with respect to future events. Except as required by law, the Company may not update forward-looking statements even though its situation may change in the future. For a full copy of the conference call materials, including the conference call transcript, see the Company’s Form 8-Ks filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2022.

Notes 1. 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. Amounts provided for the Four Quarters Ended January 2018 represent the aggregate of Q3 2017, Q4 2017, Q1 2018, and Q2 2018 for comparative purposes to other twelve month periods presented. 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. Organic growth (decline) % adjusted for revenues from storm restoration services and for the additional week of operations during the fourth quarter as a result of the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal year, when applicable. 4. In fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022, the Company excluded certain tax impacts from the vesting and exercise of share-based awards when calculating Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For comparability to other companies in the industry, the Company no longer excludes these tax impacts from its Non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. As there are no Non-GAAP adjustments for Q1 2023 or Q2 2023, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the quarters ended April 30, 2022 and July 30, 2022 equals GAAP net income (loss). 5. As of Q1 2023 and Q2 2023, the Company had $47.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. 6. Liquidity represents the sum of availability from the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, considering net funded debt balances, and available cash and equivalents. For calculation of availability under the Senior Credit Facility, applicable cash and equivalents are netted against the funded debt amount. 7. 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, 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. 23
