Dycom replaces a short‑term bridge loan with a longer‑term $800M Term Loan B facility.

Dycom Industries, Inc. entered into a First Amendment to its existing credit agreement that establishes an $800.0 million senior secured Term Loan B Facility. Proceeds refinanced a $600.0 million 364‑day senior secured bridge loan, covered related fees and expenses, and increased cash on the balance sheet.

The Term Loan B bears interest at either term SOFR plus a 1.75% margin or the Administrative Agent’s base rate plus a 0.75% margin, with a 0.0% SOFR floor. The base rate is defined as the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, or one‑month term SOFR plus 1.00%, which anchors pricing to market reference rates.

Scheduled amortization of 0.25% begins on September 15, 2026 and continues quarterly on the 15th of March, June, September and December. Subsequent disclosures on overall debt levels, interest expense and liquidity in future company filings may provide additional context on how this facility affects leverage and cash flows.
