Insights

Financial Analyst

Dycom delivered record Q2 results with 14.5% revenue growth and 35.4% EPS growth, demonstrating strong operational efficiency and market expansion.

Dycom's Q2 FY2026 results showcase exceptional financial performance with multiple records across key metrics. Contract revenues reached $1.378 billion, up 14.5% year-over-year, while GAAP diluted EPS surged 35.4% to $3.33. Net income jumped 42.5% to $97.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA grew 29.8% to $205.5 million, representing 14.9% of contract revenues.

What's particularly impressive is the margin expansion story. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved from 13.2% to 14.9% year-over-year, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and operating leverage. This 170 basis point improvement demonstrates management's ability to translate revenue growth into even stronger profit growth.

The company's growth strategy is clearly working on multiple fronts. Organic revenue increased 3.4% when excluding acquisitions, while acquired businesses contributed $139.8 million in quarterly revenue. This dual-track approach has positioned Dycom to capitalize on the accelerating demand for digital infrastructure.

Looking ahead, management has maintained its full-year revenue outlook of $5.290-$5.425 billion, representing 12.5-15.4% growth. For Q3, they're projecting revenues of $1.38-$1.43 billion with Adjusted EBITDA of $198-213 million. The $8 billion backlog provides strong visibility into future performance.

The company also returned capital to shareholders, repurchasing 200,000 shares for $30.2 million during the first half of the fiscal year, demonstrating confidence in their long-term prospects while maintaining financial flexibility.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company’s quarterly results releases, slide presentations, conference calls, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for the period reported with the Company’s performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used as follows:

• Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding certain non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. Management believes Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s revenue performance with prior periods.

• Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates.

• Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income - GAAP net income before certain non-recurring items and the related tax impact. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods.

• Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share - Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share:

• Loss on debt extinguishment - Loss on debt extinguishment includes the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the amendment of the Company’s credit agreement during the quarter ended July 27, 2024. Management believes excluding the loss on debt extinguishment from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures assists investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and provides management with a consistent measure for assessing the current and historical financial results.

• Stock-based compensation modification - In connection with the Company’s CEO succession plan and transition completed in November 2024, the Company incurred stock-based compensation modification expense. The Company excludes the impact of the modification because the Company believes it is not indicative of its underlying results or ongoing operations.

• Tax impact of pre-tax adjustments - The tax impact of pre-tax adjustments reflects the Company’s estimated tax impact of specific adjustments and the effective tax rate used for financial planning for the applicable period.

Notes

¹ Includes stock-based compensation expense of $8.1 million and $9.5 million for the quarters ended July 26, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively, and $17.2 million and $17.3 million for the six months ended July 26, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively.

² During the quarter ended July 27, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $1.0 million in connection with the amendment of its credit agreement.

³ Provision for income taxes includes tax benefits resulting from the vesting and exercise of share-based awards of approximately $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended July 26, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively, and approximately $2.8 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended July 26, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively.

⁴ Amounts represent contract revenues from acquired businesses that were not owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods.
