Insights

Infrastructure Services Financial Analyst

Dycom posts record revenue, profit, adjusted EBITDA and backlog; management raised the revenue midpoint for fiscal 2026.

Dycom delivered record contract revenues of $1.452 billion in Q3 and reported GAAP diluted EPS of $3.63, net income of $106.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $219.4 million (15.1% of contract revenues). Year-to-date contract revenues rose to $4.088 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $575.3 million (14.1%). These figures show broad, measurable improvement across top line, margin, and cash flow metrics reported for the quarter and nine months.

The company cites organic revenue growth and acquisitions as drivers; acquired-business revenues totaled $110.9 million for the quarter and $377.6 million year-to-date, while organic quarterly growth was 7.2. Backlog stands at $8.2 billion as of October 25, 2025. The firm increased the midpoint of its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to a range of $5.350 billion to $5.425 billion, and provided Q4 guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and per-share ranges that incorporate a 53rd week.

Key dependencies and risks tied to these facts include the sustainability of organic revenue growth versus acquisition-driven lifts, the realization of backlog into billed work (especially with an extra fiscal week in Q4 2026), and the company's new non-GAAP adjustment excluding intangible amortization beginning in the quarter ending January 31, 2026. Watch the fourth-quarter reported revenue and the conversion rate of backlog into revenue over the next quarter and the full fiscal year; the company provided explicit Q4 ranges for contract revenues and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA that can be checked against reported results.

Third Quarter Highlights
(All metrics compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2025)

• Record Contract Revenues of $1.452 billion, up 14.1%

• Record Net Income of $106.4 million, up 34.4% compared to Q3 2025 Non-GAAP Net Income
• Record Adjusted EBITDA of $219.4 million, up 28.5% and representing 15.1% of contract revenues
• Strong Operating Cash Flows of $220.0 million

DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. Beginning in the fiscal fourth quarter ending January 31, 2026, the Company expects to exclude the impact of intangible amortization expense in its calculation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income.

• 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.

• Acquisition integration costs - The Company incurred costs of approximately $4.2 million in connection with the integration of a business acquired during the quarter ended October 26, 2024. The exclusion of the acquisition integration costs from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial results.

• 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.
