West Palm Beach, Florida, May 27, 2026 - Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced today its results for the first quarter ended May 2, 2026.
“Dycom delivered an outstanding start to the year that exceeded the high end of our expectations with strong revenue growth and margin expansion as well as record backlog,” said Dan Peyovich, Dycom’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Demand for fiber infrastructure and data center builds is more robust today than it has ever been. We are strategically expanding our capabilities to meet this need both organically and through acquisitions. Power Solutions outperformed in its first full quarter as a part of the Building Systems segment and the acquisition of National Technology Integrators will further enhance our ability to provide comprehensive, end-to-end digital infrastructure solutions for our customers.”
“We are in an excellent position to drive continued growth and realize the opportunities we see ahead in this period of unprecedented and intensifying demand, while remaining highly disciplined in our project selection. As a result, we are raising our full year outlook. I want to thank all our teammates for their dedication to safety and execution certainty, which underpins our multi-year growth trajectory and our ability to continue delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

Segment Results
In Communications, total contract revenues of $1.569 billion exceeded expectations and increased 24.7% organically compared to the prior year quarter. Growth during the period was driven by expansion into additional geographies and fiber-to-the-home builds that ramped ahead of expectations; all aided by a favorable seasonal backdrop. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.3% increased 31 bps over the prior year quarter reflecting operating leverage and continued investment to scale the Company’s footprint and increase headcount, further strengthening Dycom’s position to execute on multi-year build programs.
In Building Systems, total contract revenues of $395.4 million and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.7% driven by revenue growth and performance which ramped ahead of initial expectations.
Acquisition
Effective May 22, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire National Technology Integrators, a tenured and fast-growing low-voltage engineering and construction firm based in Maryland, for total consideration of $275 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments and is expected to close before the end of the second fiscal quarter.
National Technology Integrators specializes in inside-plant structured cabling, including within data centers, as well as advanced audio-visual and security systems, with operations spanning Washington D.C, Maryland, Virginia, Texas and the Midwest. At closing, the acquired business will be included in the Building Systems segment and is anticipated to have an initial annual revenue run-rate of approximately $175 million. Historically, the business achieved Adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid-to-high teens, which is expected to continue.
This acquisition enhances Dycom’s capabilities in the fast-growing digital infrastructure industry. The acquired company’s services are in high-demand and highly complementary to Dycom’s work in both segments, which will drive operational efficiencies and support greater combined project wins. The partnership also creates a significantly more complete fiber infrastructure offering, enabling Dycom to support customers from the initial connection at the server racks all the way through the networks connecting data centers, facilities, businesses and homes across America.
Outlook
The following outlook information for fiscal 2027 and the second quarter ended August 1, 2026 exclude any results from the pending acquisition of National Technology Integrators as impacts are dependent on the timing of completion.
Fiscal 2027 Annual Outlook
Based on its strong first quarter results and expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company is increasing its full year fiscal 2027 outlook and now expects the following:
| Fiscal Year |

|---|

| Contract revenues by segment: | |
| Communications | $6.03 billion to $6.20 billion |
| Building Systems | $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion |
The Company continues to anticipate Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion for the year. In Communications, the Company continues to expect modest Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement compared to fiscal 2026 as operating leverage offsets continued investment to support growth.

DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)
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. 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 amortization of intangible assets as well as certain non-recurring items and the related tax impacts. 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. 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 excludes 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.

Notes
Results for the quarter ended May 2, 2026 include income tax benefits resulting from the vesting and exercise of share-based awards of $12.5 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.08 per share, for the quarter ended April 26, 2025.
The Company excludes amortization of intangible assets from its Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income beginning with the results reported for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Amortization of intangible assets are impacted by the Company’s acquisition activities and therefore can vary from period to period. The exclusion of the amortization expense from the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial results. Prior periods have been adjusted for comparability with the current presentation as follows: Amortization expense of $12.0 million and the related tax impact has been excluded from the original reported Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the quarter ended April 26, 2025.
Includes stock-based compensation expense of $10.6 million and $9.1 million for the quarters ended May 2, 2026 and April 26, 2025, respectively
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 GAAP and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information provided in accordance with GAAP. Participants in the Company’s industry also 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.
Amounts represent contract revenues from acquired businesses that were not owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods.
