Dycom Industries (NYSE: DY) buys Power Solutions, expands credit to $1.54B term loan

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dycom Industries, Inc. completed its acquisition of Power Solutions, LLC on December 23, 2025. At closing, Dycom paid approximately $1.6 billion in cash and issued 1,011,069 shares of common stock to the seller, with the share amount based on $292.5 million, or 15% of the base purchase price, divided by a 10‑day volume‑weighted average price before signing. The cash portion remains subject to post‑closing adjustments, which will be settled only in cash.

To fund the deal and refinance existing debt, Dycom entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This agreement adds a $600.0 million 364‑day senior secured bridge facility, extends the maturity of its term loan A and revolving credit facilities to December 23, 2030, increases the revolver commitments to $800.0 million, and expands the term loan A facility to $1,540 million. The facilities carry SOFR‑ or base‑rate‑based interest margins and include financial covenants requiring a consolidated net leverage ratio not greater than 4.50:1.00 initially and 4.00:1.00 thereafter, and an interest coverage ratio above 2.50:1.00.

Insights

M&A and corporate strategy analyst

Dycom closes a large cash-and-stock acquisition of Power Solutions.

Dycom Industries has finalized the purchase of Power Solutions, LLC, paying approximately $1.6 billion in cash and issuing 1,011,069 common shares valued at $292.5 million. The structure blends cash with equity, which can spread consideration between immediate cash outlay and ownership in the combined business. Post‑closing price adjustments will be handled only in cash, so equity dilution is fixed at closing.

The acquisition’s strategic and financial impact will depend on how Power Solutions’ operations and revenue base integrate with Dycom’s existing business. The report indicates expectations of potential benefits, synergies and growth opportunities, but also highlights general acquisition‑related risks such as realizing anticipated synergies and managing integration costs. Future financial statements and pro forma information, which are expected to be filed within 71 days of this report’s required filing date, will provide more detail on the combined company’s performance.

Corporate finance and credit analyst

Dycom significantly amends its credit facilities to fund the deal.

Dycom entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that adds a $600.0 million 364‑day senior secured bridge facility and increases the term loan A facility to $1,540 million and the revolving credit facility to $800.0 million. As of effectiveness, the term loan A and bridge facility were fully drawn to refinance prior borrowings and pay the cash portion of the Power Solutions acquisition, while the revolver had no outstanding borrowings and includes a $225.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $50.0 million swingline sublimit.

The agreement extends maturities to December 23, 2030 and sets interest at term SOFR or base rate plus margins that step up for the bridge facility over time and vary with consolidated net leverage for the term loan A and revolver. Dycom must maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio not greater than 4.50:1.00 until after the second anniversary of closing, then 4.00:1.00, and an interest coverage ratio above 2.50:1.00. These covenants and pricing grids tie borrowing costs and flexibility to future leverage and earnings, so the combined company’s ability to meet these tests will be an important factor for its capital structure over the life of the facilities.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 23, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Dycom Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition contemplated by that certain Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of November 18, 2025, by and among the Company, Power Solutions, LLC (“Power Solutions”) and Project Eastern Shore, LLC (“Seller”), and acquired all of the outstanding ownership of Power Solutions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

At the closing of the acquisition, following certain adjustments made in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid an amount of approximately $1.6 billion in cash and issued 1,011,069 shares of common stock, par value $0.33 1/3 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) to Seller. The number of shares of Common Stock constituting the stock portion of the consideration paid on the Closing Date and issued to Seller was determined by dividing $292,500,000 (15% of the base price) by the 10-day volume weighted average price of Common Stock prior to the signing of the Purchase Agreement. The cash portion of the consideration is subject to further post-closing adjustments based on the final determination of cash, debt, net working capital, and unpaid transaction expenses as of the closing as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The post-closing purchase price adjustment will only be settled in cash and not Common Stock.

The description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders named therein and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender and L/C issuer, amended and restated that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2024 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and, the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) establishes a $600.0 million 364 day senior secured bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”), (ii) extends the scheduled maturity date of the existing senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from January 15, 2029 to December 23, 2030, (iii) increases the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $650.0 million to $800.0 million, (iv) increases the Term Loan A Facility from $440.0 million to $1,540 million and (v) adjusts certain other terms and basket capacities as described therein. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a $225.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Company the ability to enter into one or more incremental facilities, either by increasing the revolving commitments or term commitments thereunder and/or in the form of additional classes of term loans, in each case in an amount not to exceed the sum of (i) the greater of (A) $927.0 million and (B) 100% of consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently ended four fiscal quarter period, plus (B) additional amounts such that, after giving effect to such incremental facilities on a pro forma basis (assuming that the amount of the incremental commitments is fully drawn and funded), the consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (other than swingline loans) will bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) term SOFR plus an applicable margin, or (b) the Administrative Agent’s base rate plus an applicable margin. The Administrative Agent’s base rate is described in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, and (iii) term SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.00%.

In the case of the Bridge Facility, the applicable margin as of the Closing Date for (x) term SOFR loans will be 1.75% and (y) base rate loans will be 0.75%, in each case, subject to a 0.25% increase on each 90-day anniversary of the Closing Date. In the case of the Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable margin is based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will pay a fee for unused revolver balances based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. Until the delivery of a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending August 1, 2026, (x) the applicable margin for term SOFR loans will be 1.75%, (y) the applicable margin for base rate loans will be 0.75% and (z) the commitment fee for unused revolver balances will be 0.35%. Swingline loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Administrative Agent’s base rate plus an applicable margin based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’s financial covenants, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, require (i) the Company to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of not greater than (A) until the last day of the first fiscal quarter ending after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 4.50:1.00, and (B) thereafter, 4.00:1:00 (the “Leverage Based Covenant”) and (ii) the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio above 2.50:1.00. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for certain increases to the Leverage Based Covenant on the terms and conditions specified therein in connection with permitted acquisitions.

As of the effective time of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility and Bridge Facility were fully drawn to refinance the amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of Power Solutions. All outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement were transferred to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
