NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
Dycom Industries, Inc. (Dycom or the Company) is a leading provider of specialty
contracting services throughout the United States. These services include engineering,
construction, maintenance and installation services to telecommunications providers, underground
locating services to various utilities including telecommunications providers, and other
construction and maintenance services to electric utilities and others. Additionally, Dycom
provides services on a limited basis in Canada.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Dycom and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods reflect
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the three
months ended October 27, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire year. For a fuller understanding of the Company and its financial statements, the
Company recommends reading these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with
the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended July 28, 2007 included in the
Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10- K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on September 7, 2007.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations,
and the related disclosures have been revised for all periods presented to report discontinued
operations of one of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations,
for a further discussion of the discontinued operations
In September 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of Cable Express Holding
Company (Cable Express). In January 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of a cable
television operator. In March 2007, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Cavo Communications, Inc. (Cavo). The operating results of the businesses acquired
by the Company are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from
their respective acquisition dates.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
For the Company, key estimates include those for the recognition of revenue for costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings, allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued self-insured claims, the
fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, asset lives used in computing depreciation and
amortization, including amortization of intangible assets, and accounting for performance-based
stock awards, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. While the Company believes that such
estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
position and
results of operations taken as a whole, actual results could differ from those estimates and
such differences may be material to the financial statements.

Restricted Cash As of October 27, 2007 and July 28, 2007, the Company had approximately
$4.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in restricted cash which is held as collateral in
support of the Companys insurance obligations. Restricted cash is included in other current
assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and changes in restricted cash
are reported in cash flows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of

Income
Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. This
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities. In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a
two-step process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step involves evaluation of a tax position to
determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination,
based on the technical merits of the position. The second step involves measuring the benefit to
recognize in the financial statements for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not
recognition threshold. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In May 2007, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48.
This FSP amends FIN 48 to provide guidance that a Company may recognize a previously unrecognized
tax benefit if the tax position is effectively (as opposed to ultimately) settled through
examination, negotiation, or litigation. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 29,
2007, the first day of fiscal 2008. See Note 12 for further discussion regarding the adoption of
the Interpretation.
Comprehensive Income During the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006,
the Company did not have any material changes in its equity resulting from non-owner sources and,
accordingly, comprehensive income approximated the net income amounts presented for the respective
periods in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plan A subsidiary acquired in fiscal 2007
participates in a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that covers certain of its employees.
The subsidiary makes periodic contributions to the plan to meet the benefit obligations. During
the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006, the subsidiary contributed
approximately $1.0 million and $0.3 million to the plan, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements which defines fair value, establishes a measurement framework and expands
disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 157 applies to assets and liabilities that are required to be
recorded at fair value pursuant to other accounting standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the
Company at the beginning of fiscal 2009 and is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
7
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). This standard requires the recognition of the funded status of defined benefit pension
and other postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in the year in which they occur.
Furthermore, it requires changes in the funded status of these plans to be recognized through
accumulated other comprehensive income, as a separate component of stockholders equity, and
provides for additional annual disclosure. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). This statement, which is expected to expand
fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company at the beginning
of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159.
2. Discontinued Operations
During fiscal 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Apex Digital, LLC (Apex)
notified its primary customer of its intention to cease performing installation services in
accordance with its contractual rights. Effective December 2006, this customer, a satellite
broadcast provider, transitioned its installation service requirements to others and Apex ceased
providing these services. As a result, the Company has discontinued the operations of Apex and
presented its results separately in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
for all periods presented. The summary comparative financial results of the discontinued
operations were as follows:

3. Computation of Earnings Per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted
earnings per share computation as required by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings
per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period,
excluding unvested restricted shares and restricted share units. Diluted earnings per share
includes the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential
common shares, including unvested restricted shares and restricted share units. Performance vesting
restricted shares and restricted share units are only included in diluted earnings per share
calculations for the period if all the necessary performance conditions are satisfied. Common
stock equivalents related to stock options are excluded from diluted earnings per share
calculations if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

4. Acquisitions
In September 2006, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of Cable Express for a
purchase price of approximately $55.2 million and assumed $9.2 million in capital lease
obligations. The purchase price included transaction fees of approximately $0.5 million and $6.2
million placed in escrow. The escrowed amount is available to satisfy potential indemnification
obligations of the sellers pursuant to the acquisition agreement. Of the $6.2 million escrowed,
$3.5 million was released to the sellers during the current
fiscal quarter, $1.1 million is
subject to a claim for indemnification and the remaining $1.6 million will be
released to the sellers in September 2008, so long as the amount is not subject to any claims.
Cable Express provides specialty contracting services for leading cable multiple system operators.
These services include the installation and maintenance of customer premise equipment, including
set top boxes and cable modems. The Company borrowed $50.0 million under its revolving credit
agreement to fund this acquisition.
10
The purchase price of Cable Express has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed, including capital leases, on the basis of their respective
fair values on each acquisition date. Purchase price in excess of fair value of the net tangible
and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. With the assistance
of an independent valuation specialist, management determined the fair values of the identifiable
intangible assets based primarily on historical data, estimated discounted future cash flows, and
expected royalty rates for trademarks and tradenames.
The allocation of purchase price for Cable Express is as follows (dollars in thousands):

The
operating results of Cable Express are included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Companys condensed consolidated results
of operations as if the Cable Express acquisition had occurred on July 30, 2006, the first day of
the Companys 2007 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations of the combined companies had the acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented nor is it indicative of future results. Approximately $4.8
million of non-recurring charges incurred by Cable Express are included in the pro forma amounts
for the three months ended October 28, 2006. The non-recurring charges were incurred prior to the
acquisition and primarily related to stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related
bonuses. The unaudited pro forma results are as follows:

In January 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of a cable television operator for
approximately $1.1 million. In March 2007, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
Cavo for a purchase price of $5.5 million and assumed $0.9 million in capital lease obligations.
Cavo provides specialty contracting services for leading cable multiple system operators. These
services include the installation and maintenance of customer premise equipment, including set top
boxes and cable modems. The purchase price allocation for Cavo is preliminary as the Company
continues to assess the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities. These acquisitions were
not material to the Companys revenue, results of operations or financial position.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As of October 27, 2007, the Company had $250.5 million of goodwill, $4.7 million of
indefinite-lived intangible assets and $63.6 million of finite-lived intangible assets, net of
accumulated amortization. As of July 28, 2007, the Company had $250.8 million of goodwill, $4.7
million of indefinite-lived intangible assets and $65.4 million of finite-lived intangible assets,
net of accumulated amortization. Goodwill of approximately $0.8 million related to the Cable
Express acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The $0.3 million decrease in
goodwill during the three months ended October 27, 2007 is a result of the adoption of FIN 48. See
Note 12 for further discussion regarding the adoption of FIN 48.
The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2007 and the results indicated that the estimated fair value of each of the Companys reporting
units exceeded their carrying value. However, two of the reporting units, one having a goodwill
balance of approximately $8.3 million and the other having a goodwill balance of approximately $5.7
million, have recently experienced lower demand from the customers they serve compared to
historical levels. As of October 27, 2007, the Company believes the goodwill is recoverable for
all of the reporting units; however, there can be no assurances that the goodwill will not be
impaired in future periods.
The Companys intangible assets, excluding goodwill, consist of the following:

In October 2005, Dycom Investments, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued
$150.0 million principal amount of 8.125% senior subordinated notes (Notes) due October 2015.
Interest is due semi-annually on April 15th and October 15th of each year. The indenture governing
the Notes contains covenants that restrict the Companys ability to make certain payments,
including the payment of dividends; redeem or repurchase capital
stock of the Company; incur additional
indebtedness and issue preferred stock: make investments: create
liens: enter into sale and
leaseback transactions; merge or consolidate with another entity:
sell assets: and enter into
transactions with affiliates. As of October 27, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants and conditions under the indenture governing the Notes.
In connection with issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into an amendment (the
Amendment) to its Credit Agreement, which expires in December 2009. After giving effect to the
Amendment, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to (i) maintain a condensed consolidated
leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.0 as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii)
maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, as measured at the end of each
fiscal quarter and (iii) maintain condensed consolidated tangible net worth, which shall be
calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter, of not less than $50.0 million plus 50% of condensed
consolidated net income (if positive) from September 8, 2005 to the date of computation plus 75% of
the equity issuances made from September 8, 2005 to the date of computation. As of October 27,
2007, the Company had $15.0 million of outstanding borrowings due December 2009 and $45.1 million of
outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. As of October 27, 2007 these
borrowings bear interest at 7.75% per annum. The outstanding letters of credit are primarily
issued to insurance companies as part of the Companys self-insurance program. At October 27,
2007, the Company had borrowing availability of $239.9 million under the Credit Agreement and was
in compliance with all financial covenants and conditions.
The Company has $5.9 million in capital lease obligations as of October 27, 2007. The capital
lease obligations were assumed in connection with the fiscal 2007 acquisitions of Cable Express and
Cavo. The capital leases include obligations for certain vehicles and computer equipment and expire
at various dates through fiscal year 2011.
12. Income Taxes
The Company adopted FIN 48 on July 29, 2007, the first day of fiscal 2008. Upon
adoption, retained earnings decreased by approximately $2.1 million. The adoption also
resulted in the reclassification of accruals for uncertain tax positions from income taxes payable
to other accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet. After recognizing these impacts upon adoption, the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits was approximately $6.6 million. If it is subsequently
determined this amount is not required, approximately $6.0 million would reduce the Companys effective tax rate and $0.6
million would reduce goodwill during the periods recognized.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, multiple state
jurisdictions, and in Canada. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax
examinations for years up through 2002. Our U.S. federal filings for the fiscal years 2003 and
2004 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service and that process is anticipated to be
completed before the end of fiscal 2008. Management believes its provision for income taxes is
adequate; however, any material assessment could adversely affect the Companys results of
operations, cash flows and liquidity. Measurement of certain aspects of the Companys tax positions
are based on interpretations of tax regulations, federal and state case law and the applicable
statutes. Based on these interpretations, management believes it is reasonably possible that
unrecognized tax benefits of up to $2.4 million and accrued
interest of up to $0.8 million will decrease in the next twelve
months primarily as a result of audit settlements and the
expiration of statutes of limitations in certain jurisdictions.
17
The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and
penalties in general and administrative expenses. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company
accrued approximately $1.2 million in interest related to its uncertain tax positions. During
fiscal 2008, we recognized approximately $0.2 million in
interest expense in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

14. Capital Stock
On August 28, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $15
million of its common stock over an eighteen months period in open market or private transactions.
The Company repurchased 94,000 shares during the quarter ended
October 27, 2007 at an average
price per share of $29.27.
15. Stock-Based Awards
The Companys stock-based award plans comprise the following (collectively, the Plans):
|
|
|
the 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan) |
|
|
|
|
the Arguss Communications, Inc. 1991 Stock Option Plan (1991 Arguss Plan) |
|
|
|
|
the 1998 Incentive Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan) |
|
|
|
|
the 2001 Directors Stock Option Plan (2001 Directors Plan) |
|
|
|
|
the 2002 Directors Restricted Stock Plan (2002 Directors Plan) |
|
|
|
|
the 2003 Long-term Incentive Plan (2003 Plan) |
The outstanding options under the 1991 Plan, the 1991 Arguss Plan, the 1998 Plan, and the 2003
Plan are fully vested. Options granted under the 2001 Directors Plan, vest and become exercisable
ratably over a four-year period, beginning on the date of the grant. Under the 2003 Plan, time vesting restricted shares and units vest ratably over a period of four years. Under the 2003 Plan, performance vesting restricted shares and units vest over a
three year period from grant date, if certain Company performance
targets are met. The actual number of units that vest depends on the achievement of certain annual and three year Company performance goals. The Companys policy is to
issue new shares to satisfy equity awards under the Plans.
Under the terms of the current plans, stock options are granted at the closing price on the
date of the grant and are exercisable over a period of up to ten years.
18
The Company has authorized 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock for issuance to
non-employee directors pursuant to the Companys 2002 Directors Plan. Non-employee directors are
required to receive a pre-determined percentage of their annual retainer fees in restricted shares
of the Companys common stock based on the number of Dycom shares they own. Additionally, during
December 2006, there were 16,863 restricted units awarded to the non-employee directors under the
plan. These restricted units vest ratably over a three year period. Each restricted unit will be
settled in one share of the Companys common stock upon vesting. The vesting may be accelerated in
the event the non-employee director is not nominated or re-elected at a subsequent annual
shareholder meeting or upon termination of service, so long as the Board of Directors consents to
the termination of service. On November 20, 2007 the Companys shareholders approved the 2007
Directors Plan. The 2007 Directors Plan is intended to replace the Companys 2001 Directors Plan
and the 2002 Directors Plan. As under the 2001 Directors Plan and the 2002 Directors Plan, the
2007 Directors Plan would provide for equity grants to new non-employee directors upon their
initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors and for annual equity grants for
continuing non-employee directors. As of November 20, 2007, no further awards will be granted to
non-employee directors pursuant to the 2001 Directors Plan and the 2002 Directors Plan. As of November 20, 2007 there were 300,000 shares
available for issuance under the 2007 Directors Plan.
The following table lists the number of shares available and outstanding under each plan
as of October 27, 2007, including restricted performance shares and units that will be issued under
outstanding awards if certain performance goals are met:

Compensation expense for stock-based awards is based on the fair value at the measurement date
and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of
operations. The compensation expense and the related tax benefit recognized related to stock
options, restricted stock and restricted units for the three months ended October 27, 2007 and
October 28, 2006 is as follows:

The amount of compensation expense recognized during the three months ended October
27, 2007 and October 28, 2006 may not be representative of future stock-based compensation expense
as the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant is amortized over the vesting period
and the vesting of certain stock options were accelerated prior to the implementation of SFAS No.
123(R).
Under the Plans, the maximum total unrecognized compensation expense and weighted-average
period over which the expense would be recognized as of October 27, 2007 is shown below. For
performance based awards, the unrecognized compensation cost is based upon the maximum amount of
restricted stock and units that can be earned under outstanding awards. If the performance goals
are not met, no compensation expense will be recognized for these shares/units and any compensation
expense recognized previously for those shares/units will be reversed.

During the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006, the Company received
cash of $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from the exercise of stock options and
realized a tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
16. Related Party Transactions
The Company leases administrative offices from entities related to officers of certain of our
subsidiaries. The total expense under these arrangements was
$0.3 million for each of the three month periods ended October 27,
2007 and October 28, 2006. The Company paid approximately $0.2 million and $0.1
million for three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively, in
subcontracting services to entities related to officers of certain of its subsidiaries.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
Proceedings.
A number of the Companys competitors have been subject to class action lawsuits alleging
violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws. These lawsuits have
resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. The Company has been contacted by
counsel representing current and former employees alleging similar violations at certain of its
subsidiaries. These subsidiaries currently employ approximately 2,900 people. In an effort to avoid
the expense of class action litigation and to timely resolve this matter, the parties have engaged
a third party to mediate discussions. Further discussions are
expected to occur during the Companys second fiscal quarter ending
January 26, 2008. There can be no assurance that these discussions
will lead to any settlement and it is too early to evaluate the
likelihood of an outcome or estimate the range of amount of any
settlement.
Additionally, in December 2006, two former employees of Apex, a wholly-owned subsidiary that
was discontinued during the quarter ended January 27, 2007, commenced a lawsuit against the
subsidiary in Illinois State Court. The lawsuit alleges that Apex violated certain minimum wage
laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act and related state laws by failing to comply with applicable
minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. The plaintiffs seek damages and costs. They also seek
to certify, and eventually notify, a class consisting of former employees who, since December 2004,
have worked for Apex. On January 30, 2007 the case was removed to the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois. In July 2007, plaintiffs amended the complaint to include
the Company as a defendant. It is too early to evaluate the likelihood of an outcome to this
matter or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. The Company intends to vigorously
defend itself against this lawsuit.
These claims may be expensive to defend and/or settle and may adversely affect the Companys
financial condition and results of operations or cash flows, regardless of whether any of the
foregoing allegations are valid or whether the Company is ultimately determined to be liable.
From time to time, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also party to various
claims and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. It is the opinion of the Companys
management, based on information available at this time, that none of such pending normal course of
business claims or legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Companys condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Performance Bonds and Guarantees.
The Company has obligations under performance bonds related to certain of its customer
contracts. Performance bonds generally provide the Companys customer with the right to obtain
payment and/or performance from the issuer of the bond if the Company fails to perform its
obligations under contract. As of October 27, 2007, the Company
had $51.0 million of outstanding
performance bonds. As of October 27, 2007, no events have occurred in which the customers have
exercised their rights under the performance bonds.
The Company has periodically guaranteed certain obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
including obligations in connection with obtaining state contractor licenses and leasing real
property.

18. Segment Information
The Company operates in one reportable segment as a specialty contractor, providing
engineering, construction, maintenance and installation services to telecommunications providers,
underground locating services to various utilities including telecommunications providers, and
other construction and maintenance services to electric utilities and others. These services are
provided by the Companys various subsidiaries throughout the United States and, on a limited
basis, in Canada. All of the Companys subsidiaries have been aggregated into one reporting segment
due to their similar economic characteristics, products and production methods, and distribution
methods. The following table presents information regarding revenues by type of customer:

One of the Companys subsidiaries earned revenues from contracts in Canada of
approximately $1.6 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended October 27, 2007 and
October 28, 2006, respectively. Additionally, the Company had no material long-lived assets in the
Canadian operations at October 27, 2007 and July 28, 2007.
19. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Statements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company completed an offering of $150.0 million
of 8.125% senior subordinated notes (see Note 11). The Notes were issued by Dycom Investments,
Inc. (Issuer), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following consolidating financial
statements present, in separate columns, financial information for (i) Dycom Industries, Inc.
(Parent) on a parent only basis, (ii) the Issuer, (iii) the guarantor subsidiaries for the Notes
on a combined basis, (iv) other non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (v) the
eliminations and reclassifications necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a
condensed consolidated basis, and (vi) the Company on a condensed consolidated basis. The
consolidating financial statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the
investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Companys share of
subsidiaries cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other
equity changes.
Each guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiary is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Issuer and the Parent. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several
basis by each guarantor subsidiary and Parent. There are no contractual restrictions limiting
transfers of cash from guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries to Issuer or Parent, within the
meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.

2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Dycom Industries, Inc. (Dycom) and its subsidiaries
on a condensed consolidated basis (referred to as the Company, we, us, or our) have made
forward-looking statements. The words believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend,
forecast, may, project and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements may include, but are not limited to, the anticipated outcome of contingent events,
including litigation, projections of revenues, income or loss, capital expenditures, plans for
future operations, growth and acquisitions, financial needs or plans and the availability of
financing, and plans relating to our services including backlog, as well as assumptions relating to
the foregoing. These forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations,
estimates and projections. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results in the future to differ materially from the results
projected or implied in any forward-looking statements contained in this report. The factors that
could affect future results and could cause these results to differ materially from those expressed
in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described under Item 1A,
Risk Factors included in the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10- K, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 7, 2007 and other risks outlined in our
periodic filings with the SEC. Except as required by law, we may not update forward-looking
statements even though our situation may change in the future. With respect to forward-looking
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward looking statements contained in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Overview
We are a leading provider of specialty contracting services. These services are provided
throughout the United States and include engineering, construction, maintenance and installation
services to telecommunications providers, underground locating services to various utilities
including telecommunications providers, and other construction and maintenance services to electric
utilities and others. Additionally, we provide services on a limited basis in Canada. For the three
months ended October 27, 2007, specialty contracting services related to the telecommunications
industry, underground utility locating, and electric and other construction and maintenance
services to electric utilities and others contributed approximately
74.5%, 17.7%, and 7.8%,
respectively, to our total revenues from continuing operations.
We conduct operations through our subsidiaries. Our revenues may fluctuate as a result of
changes in the capital expenditure and maintenance budgets of our customers, and changes in the
general level of construction activity. The capital expenditures and maintenance budgets of our
telecommunications customers may be impacted by consumer demands on telecommunication providers,
the introduction of new communication technologies, the physical maintenance needs of their
infrastructure, the actions of the Federal Communications Commission, and general economic
conditions.
30
A significant portion of our services are covered by multi-year master service agreements and
other arrangements with customers that have historically extended over multiple year periods. We
are currently a party to approximately 200 of these arrangements. Master service agreements
generally are for contract periods of one or more years and contain customer specified service
requirements, such as discrete unit pricing for individual tasks. To the extent that such contracts
specify exclusivity, there are often a number of exceptions, including the ability by the customer
to issue work orders to others valued above a specified dollar limit, the self-performance of the
work by the customers in house workforce, and the ability to use others when jointly placing
facilities with another utility. In most cases, a customer may terminate these agreements for
convenience with written notice.
The remainder of our services is provided pursuant to contracts for specific projects.
Long-term contracts relate to specific projects with terms in excess of one year from the contract
date. Short-term contracts for specific projects are generally three to four months in duration. A
portion of our contracts include retainage provisions under which 5% to 10% of the contract
invoicing is withheld by the customer subject to project completion.
We recognize revenues under the percentage of completion method of accounting using the units
of delivery or cost-to-cost measures. A significant majority of our contracts are based on units of
delivery and revenue is recognized as each unit is completed. Revenues from contracts using the
cost-to-cost measures of completion are recognized based on the ratio of contract costs incurred to
date to total estimated contract costs. Revenues from services provided under time and materials
based contracts are recognized when the services are performed.
The following table summarizes our revenues from long-term contracts, including multi-year
master service agreements, as a percentage of total revenue from continuing operations:

During
the three months ended October 27, 2007, revenue from other long-term contracts grew at a greater rate than revenue from multi-year master
service agreements. Accordingly, revenue from multi-year master service agreements contributed a
smaller percentage of revenue from total long-term contracts during the three months ended October
27, 2007 as compared to the three months ended October 28, 2006.

A significant portion of our revenue comes from several large customers. The following table
reflects the percentage of total revenue from customers contributing at least 2.5% of our total
revenue from continuing operations in either the three months ended October 27, 2007 or October 28,

For comparison purposes, BellSouth and AT&T revenues have been combined for periods prior to
their December 2006 merger. |
Cost of earned revenues includes all direct costs of providing services under our contracts,
including costs for construction personnel, subcontractors, operation of capital equipment
(excluding depreciation), and insurance. For a majority of our contracts, our customers provide all
necessary materials and we provide the personnel, tools, and equipment necessary to perform
installation and maintenance services. Materials supplied by our customers, for which the customer
retains the financial and performance risk, are not included in our revenue or costs of sales. We
retain the risk of loss, up to certain limits, for claims related to automobile liability, general
liability, workers compensation, employee group health, and locate damages. Locate damage claims
result from property and other damages arising in connection with our utility locating services. A
change in claims experience or actuarial assumptions related to these risks could materially affect
our results of operations.
General and administrative costs include all of our costs at the corporate level, as well as
costs of our subsidiaries management personnel and administrative overhead. These costs primarily
consist of employee compensation and related expenses, including stock-based compensation,
professional fees, provision or recoveries of bad debt expense, and other costs that are not
directly related to the provision of services under customer contracts. Our senior management,
including senior managers of our subsidiaries, performs substantially all sales and marketing
functions as part of their management responsibilities and, accordingly, we have not incurred
material sales and marketing expenses.
A number of the Companys competitors have been subject to class action lawsuits alleging
violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws. These lawsuits have
resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. We have been contacted by counsel
representing current and former employees alleging similar violations at certain of our
subsidiaries. These subsidiaries currently employ approximately 2,900 persons. In an effort to
avoid the expense of class action litigation and to timely resolve this matter, the parties have
engaged a third party to mediate discussions. Further discussions are
expected to occur during our second fiscal quarter ending
January 26, 2008. There can be no assurance that these discussions
will lead to any settlement and it is too early to evaluate the
likelihood of an outcome or estimate the range of amount of any
settlement.
In addition, in December 2006, two former employees of Apex Digital, LLC (Apex), a
wholly-owned subsidiary that was discontinued during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, commenced a
lawsuit against the subsidiary in Illinois State Court. The lawsuit alleges that Apex violated
certain minimum wage laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act and related state laws by failing to
comply with applicable minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. The plaintiffs seek damages and
costs. They also seek to certify, and eventually notify, a class consisting of former employees
who, since December 2004, have worked for Apex. On January 30, 2007 the case was removed to the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. In July 2007, plaintiffs
amended the complaint to include Dycom as a defendant. It is too early to evaluate the likelihood
of an outcome to this matter or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. We intend
to vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit.
32
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also party to various claims and legal
proceedings in the normal course of business. We retain the risk of loss, up to certain limits, for
claims related to automobile liability, general liability, workers compensation, employee group
health, and locate damages. For these claims, the effect of our financial statements is generally
limited to the amount of our insurance deductible or self-insurance retention. It is the opinion of
our management, based on information available at this time, that none of such pending normal
course of business claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Acquisitions
As part of our growth strategy, we may acquire companies that expand, complement, or diversify
our business. We regularly review opportunities and periodically engage in discussions regarding
possible acquisitions. Our ability to sustain our growth and maintain our competitive position may
be affected by our ability to identify acquisition opportunities and successfully integrate any
businesses acquired.
In September 2006, we acquired the outstanding common stock of Cable Express for a purchase
price of approximately $55.2 million, including transaction fees, and assumed $9.2 million in
capital lease obligations. Cable Express provides specialty contracting services for leading cable
multiple system operators. These services include the installation and maintenance of customer
premise equipment, including set top boxes and cable modems.
In January 2007, we acquired certain assets of a cable television operator for approximately
$1.1 million. In March 2007, we acquired the outstanding common stock of Cavo Communications, Inc.
(Cavo) for a purchase price of $5.5 million and assumed $0.9 million in capital lease
obligations. Cavo provides specialty contracting services for leading cable multiple system
operators. These services include the installation and maintenance of customer premise equipment,
including set top boxes and cable modems.
Discontinued Operations
During fiscal 2007, Apex Digital, LLC (Apex), a wholly-owned subsidiary, notified its
primary customer of its intention to cease performing installation services in accordance with its
contractual rights. Effective December 2006, this customer, a satellite broadcast provider,
transitioned its installation service requirements to others and Apex ceased providing these
services. As a result, we have discontinued the operations of Apex and presented its results
separately in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented. We do not expect the cessation of these installation services to have any material
effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
33
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on
our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these
estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition for costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings, allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued self-insured claims,
valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, asset lives used in computing depreciation and
amortization, including amortization of intangible assets, and accounting for income taxes,
contingencies and litigation. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise
of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially
from these estimates. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended July 28, 2007 for further information regarding our critical
accounting policies and estimates.

Revenues increased $59.1 million, or 21.9%, during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as
compared to three months ended October 28, 2006. Of this
increase, $53.7 million was a result of an
increase in specialty contracting services provided to telecommunications companies, $2.9 million
was due to an increase in underground utility locating services
revenues, and $2.5 million was due
to increased revenues from construction and maintenance services provided to electric utilities and
other customers. During the three months ended October 27, 2007, telecommunications customer
revenue included $29.6 million provided from services performed by companies we acquired during
fiscal 2007. The following table presents revenue by type of customer excluding the amounts
attributed to companies acquired during fiscal 2007:

* Information not meaningful
Excluding revenue from businesses acquired during fiscal 2007, revenues from specialty
construction services provided to telecommunications companies were
$216.0 million during the three
months ended October 27, 2007, compared to $181.1 million during the three months ended October 28,
2006, an increase of 19.3%. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $13.0 million
of additional revenue from a significant customer engaged in a fiber deployment project,
approximately $10.3 million from additional work for a significant telephone customer maintaining
and upgrading its network, and a net increase of $6.0 million for installation, maintenance and
construction services provided to several cable multiple system operators. The remaining
increase is a result of additional work performed for new and existing customers.
Total revenues from underground utility line locating during the three months ended October
27, 2007 were $58.3 million compared to $55.4 million during the three months ended October 28,
2006, an increase of 5.3%. The increase is a primarily a result of additional work for a
significant telephone customer related to a contract that began
subsequent to October 28, 2006.
35
Our total revenues from electric utilities and other construction and maintenance services
increased $2.5 million, or 10.8%, during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as compared to the
three months ended October 28, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to additional work
performed for several new and existing gas customers.
Costs of Earned Revenues. Costs of earned revenues increased $43.5 million to $261.3 million
during the three months ended October 27, 2007 from $217.8 million during the three months ended
October 28, 2006. The primary components of this increase were direct labor and subcontractor costs
taken together, other direct costs, and direct materials, which increased $34.9 million, $7.8
million, and $0.8 million, respectively. These increases were primarily due to higher levels of
operations during the three months ended October 27, 2007, including the operation of Cable Express
since its acquisition in September 2006. Costs of earned revenues as a percentage of contract revenues decreased 1.2% during the three months ended October 27, 2007, as compared to the same
period last year. Decreases in other direct costs contributed 0.9% to the total decrease primarily
from reduced insurance costs on self-insured claims during the three months ended October 27, 2007,
and from reduced vehicle and fuel-related expenses as compared to the three months ended October
28, 2006. We also experienced a decrease of 0.7% in direct materials due to a decrease in those
projects for which we provide materials to the customer during the three months ended October 27,
2007 as compared to the three months ended October 28, 2006. Partially offsetting these decreases,
was an increase of 0.4% in labor and labor-related costs primarily as a result of higher
subcontracted labor costs and field office personnel costs as a percentage of contract revenues
during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as compared to the three months ended October 28,
2006.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $3.9
million to $25.6 million during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as compared to $21.7
million for the three months ended October 28, 2006. The increase in total general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended October 27, 2007 compared to the prior year
period was primarily attributable to increased payroll and related expenses as a result of the
growth of our operations, the incremental costs of Cable Express (which was acquired in September
2006) and an increase in stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the restricted stock unit
awards granted subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The total amount of stock-based
compensation expense during the three months ended October 27, 2007 was $2.1 million as compared to
$1.7 million for the three months ended October 28, 2006.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of contract revenues were 7.8% and 8.0%
for the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28,
2006, respectively. While our contract
revenue have grown since October 28, 2006 both organically and with the additional revenue from
acquired companies, general and administrative expenses grew at a lower rate based on the fixed
nature of certain of these expenses. As a result, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of contract revenues declined
for the three months ended October 27, 2007 compared to the three
months ended October 28, 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased to $16.0 million
during the three months ended October 27, 2007 from $12.5 million during the three months ended
October 28, 2006 and increased as a percentage of contract revenues to 4.9% during the three months
ended October 27, 2007 compared to 4.6% during the three months ended October 28, 2006. The dollar
amount of the increase for the current three month period is primarily a result of increased capital expenditures during fiscal 2007 and the first
quarter of fiscal 2008, and the addition of fixed assets and intangible assets relating to the
acquisition of Cable Express in September 2006.
36
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $0.2 million during the three months ended
October 27, 2007 as compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended October 28, 2006. The
decrease is primarily a result of lower cash balances during the
period as compared to the prior year period due to
the acquisition of Cable Express (which was acquired in September 2006).
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.6 million during the three months ended October 27,
2007 as compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended October 28, 2006. The decrease was
due to lower outstanding borrowings on our Credit Agreement, notes payable and capital leases,
partially offset by an additional $0.2 million in interest expense during the three months ended
October 27, 2007 as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.
Other Income, Net. Other income increased to $1.6 million during the three months ended
October 27, 2007 as compared to $0.5 million during the three months ended October 28, 2006. The
increase was primarily the result of an increase in the number of assets sold during the three
months ended October 27, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Income Taxes. The following table presents our income tax expense and effective income tax
rate for continuing operations during the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006

Variations in our tax rate are primarily attributable to the impact of non-deductible and
non-taxable items for tax purposes in relation to our pre-tax income during the three months ended
October 27, 2007 as compared to the three months ended October 28, 2006. As of October 27, 2007,
we had total unrecognized tax benefits of approximately
$6.7 million. If it is subsequently determined those liabilities
are not required, approximately $6.1
million would reduce our effective tax rate and $0.6 million would reduce goodwill during the
periods recognized.
Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations was $15.3 million
during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as compared to $9.5 million during the three months
ended October 28, 2006.

The
operations of Apex were discontinued in December 2006 and there
was no contract revenues earned during the three months ended
October 27, 2007. The loss from discontinued operations for the
three months ended October 27, 2007 was primarily the result of professional and legal expenses associated with a lawsuit that was commenced against Apex during
the second quarter of fiscal 2007 (see Note 17 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Net
Income. Net income was $14.9 million during the three months ended October 27, 2007 as
compared to $9.6 million during the three months ended October 28, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital requirements. We use capital primarily to purchase equipment and maintain sufficient
levels of working capital in order to support our contractual commitments to customers. Our
working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations and generally increase with higher
levels of revenues. Furthermore, working capital needs are influenced by the timing of the
collection of accounts receivable from our customers for work performed. We believe that none of
our major customers are experiencing significant financial difficulty as of October 27, 2007. Our
sources of cash have historically been operating activities, debt, equity offerings, bank
borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of idle and surplus equipment and real property. We
periodically borrow from and repay our revolving credit facility based on our cash requirements.
Additionally, to the extent we make acquisitions that involve consideration other than our stock,
or to the extent we repurchase common stock, our capital requirements may increase.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.2 million at October 27, 2007 compared to $18.9 million
at July 28, 2007.

Cash from operating activities. During the three months ended October 27, 2007, net cash
provided by operating activities was $17.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was
comprised primarily of net income, adjusted for non-cash items. Non-cash items during the three
months ended October 27, 2007 primarily included depreciation, amortization, stock-based
compensation, deferred income taxes, and gain on disposal of assets. Changes in working capital and
changes in other long term assets and
liabilities used $11.9 million of operating cash flow during the three months ended October
27, 2007. Components of the working capital changes that used operating cash flow during the three
months ended October 27, 2007 were: an increase in accounts receivable and net costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings of $10.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, due to current
period operating levels combined with the billing and collection activity and the payment patterns
of our customers; and net increases in other current and other non-current assets of $5.4 million
primarily as a result of increased prepaid insurance and other prepaid costs. Additionally, we had
decreases in other liabilities of $8.0 million primarily attributable to semi-annual interest
payments on our Notes made during the current quarter and the payment of annual employee bonus
costs. Components of the working capital changes that contributed to
38
operating cash flow during
the three months ended October 27, 2007 were an increase in accounts payable of $1.6 million due to
the timing of receipt and payment of invoices, and an increase in
income taxes payable of $11.7
million due to the timing of required payments. Based on first quarter revenues, days sales
outstanding for accounts receivable, net was 43.4 days as of
October 27, 2007 compared to 49.2 days
at October 28, 2006. Based on first quarter revenues, days sales outstanding for costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings, net of billings in excess of costs and estimated
earnings, was 26.5 days as of October 27, 2007 compared to
28.8 days at October 28, 2006. The
decrease in combined days sales outstanding for accounts receivable and costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings is due to overall improved billing and collection activities.
Cash used in investing activities. For three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28,
2006, net cash used in investing activities was $19.7 million and $67.6 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures were $21.2 million and $12.4 million during the three months ended October 27,
2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively, offset in part by $1.8 million and $0.8 million,
respectively, in proceeds from the sale of idle assets. Restricted
cash, related to funding
provisions of our self-insured claims program, increased
$0.4 million and $0.8 million during the
three months ended October 27, 2007 and October 28, 2006, respectively. During the three months
ended October 28, 2006, we paid $55.2 million in connection with the acquisition of Cable Express.
Cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.4
million for the three months ended October 27, 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$34.9 million for the three months ended October 28, 2006. We had $5.0 million in net borrowings
under our Credit Agreement and made principal payments of approximately $0.9 million on capital
leases during the three months ended October 27, 2007. Proceeds from long-term debt were $50.0
million during the three months ended October 28, 2006 which consisted of borrowings on our Credit
Agreement in connection with the acquisition of Cable Express in September 2006. During the three
months ended October 28, 2006, we repaid $20.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and
made principal payments of $1.7 million on capital leases and other notes payable. We had changes
in checks drawn in excess of bank balances of $6.3 million as of October 28, 2006 as a result of
disbursements issued prior to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
During
the three months ended October 27, 2007, we repurchased 94,000
shares of our common
stock for $2.8 million in open market transactions. Additionally, we withheld shares of restricted stock units
totaling 4,300 units in order to meet payroll tax withholding obligations on restricted stock units
that vested to certain of our officers. We remitted approximately $0.1 million during the three
months ended October 27, 2007 to the Internal Revenue Service to satisfy the required tax
withholdings arising out of the vesting of
the restricted stock units during the period. We received proceeds of $1.1 million and $0.3
million from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended October 27, 2007 and October
28, 2006, respectively. We received excess tax benefits of $0.1 million from the exercise of stock
options and vesting of restricted stock units for the three months ended October 27, 2007. There
was minimal excess tax benefit received from the exercise of stock options for the three months
ended October 28, 2006.
39
Compliance with Senior Notes and Credit Agreement
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that restrict our ability to make certain
payments, including the payment of dividends, redeem or repurchase our capital stock, incur
additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, make investments, create liens, enter into sale
and leaseback transactions, merge or consolidate with another entity, sell assets, and enter into
transactions with affiliates. As of October 27, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants and
conditions under the Notes.
In connection with issuance of the Notes, we entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to
our Credit Agreement, which expires in December 2009. After giving effect to the Amendment, the
Credit Agreement requires us to (i) maintain a condensed consolidated leverage ratio of not greater
than 3.00 to 1.0 as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) maintain an interest coverage
ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter and (iii)
maintain condensed consolidated tangible net worth, which shall be calculated at the end of each
fiscal quarter, of not less than $50.0 million plus 50% of condensed consolidated net income (if
positive) from September 8, 2005 to the date of computation plus 75% of the equity issuances made
from September 8, 2005 to the date of computation. As of October 27, 2007, we had $15.0 million of
outstanding borrowings due December 2009 and $45.1 million of outstanding letters of credit issued
under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding letters of credit are primarily issued to insurance
companies as part of our self-insurance program. At October 27, we had borrowing availability of
$239.9 million under the Credit Agreement and were in compliance with all financial covenants and
conditions under the Credit Agreement.
The Notes and Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries.

The Company adopted FIN 48 on July 29, 2007, the first day of the 2008 fiscal year. The
liability for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions
at October 27, 2007 was $6.7
million. Approximately $6.3 million of this amount has been excluded from the contractual obligations table because we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of the resolutions of the underlying tax positions with the relevant tax authorities. The remaining $0.4 million is estimated to be paid in less than one year and is included in the Purchase and Other Contractual Obligations amount above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have obligations under performance bonds related to
certain of our customer contracts. Performance bonds generally provide our customer with the right
to obtain payment and/or performance from the issuer of the bond if we fail to perform our
obligations under contract. As of October 27, 2007, we had $51.0 million of outstanding
performance bonds. As of October 27, 2007, no events have occurred in which the customers have
exercised their rights under the performance bonds.
40
Sufficiency of Capital Resources. We believe that our capital resources, including existing
cash balances and amounts available under our Credit Agreement, are sufficient to meet our
financial obligations, including required interest payments on our Notes and borrowings and to
support our normal replacement of equipment at our current level of business for at least the next
twelve months. Our future operating results and cash flows may be affected by a number of factors
including our success in bidding on future contracts and our ability to manage costs effectively.
To the extent we seek to grow by acquisitions that involve consideration other than our stock, our
capital requirements may increase.
Backlog. Our backlog consists of the uncompleted portion of services to be performed under
job-specific contracts and the estimated value of future services that we expect to provide under
long-term requirements contracts, including master service agreements. Many of our contracts are
multi-year agreements, and we include in our backlog the amount of services projected to be
performed over the terms of the contracts based on our historical experience with customers and,
more generally our experience in procurements of this type. In many instances, our customers are
not contractually committed to procure specific volumes of services under a contract. For certain
multi-year projects relating to
fiber deployments for one of our significant customers, we have included in the October 27,
2007 backlog only the amounts relating to anticipated work through the remainder of calendar year 2007.
These fiber deployment projects, when initially installed, are not required for the day-to-day
provision of services by that customer. Consequently, the fiber deployment projects of this
customer generally have been subject to more uncertainty, as compared to those of our other
customers, with regards to activity levels. Our estimates of a customers requirements during a
particular future period may not be accurate at any point in time.
Our backlog at October 27, 2007 and July 28, 2007 was $1.189 billion and $1.388 billion,
respectively. We expect to complete approximately 58% of our current backlog during the next twelve
months.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations
Our revenues are affected by seasonality as a significant portion of the work we perform is
outdoors. Consequently, our operations are impacted by extended periods of inclement weather.
Generally, inclement weather is more likely to occur during the winter season which falls during
our second and third fiscal quarters. In addition, a disproportionate percentage of total paid
holidays fall within our second quarter, which decreases the number of available workdays.
Additionally, our customer premise equipment installation activities for cable providers
historically decreases around calendar year end holidays as their customers generally require less
activity during this period.
41
In addition, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience quarterly variations in
revenues and net income as a result of other factors, including:
|
|
|
the timing and volume of customers construction and maintenance projects, |
|
|
|
|
seasonal budgetary spending patterns of customers, |
|
|
|
|
the commencement or termination of master service agreements and other long-term
agreements with customers, |
|
|
|
|
costs incurred to support growth internally or through acquisitions, |
|
|
|
|
fluctuation in results of operations caused by acquisitions, |
|
|
|
|
fluctuation in the employer portion of payroll taxes as a result of reaching the
limitation on social security withholdings and unemployment requirements, |
|
|
|
|
changes in mix of customers, contracts, and business activities, |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in stock-based compensation expense as a result of the timing and
vesting period of stock-based awards granted |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in other income as a result of the timing and levels of capital assets
sold during the period, and |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in insurance expense due to changes in claims experience and actuarial
assumptions. |
Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not necessarily indicative of results
that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal period.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have market risk exposure related to interest rates on our cash and equivalents and our
debt obligations. The effects of market changes on interest rates are monitored and we manage the
interest rate risk by investing in short-term investments with market rates of interest and by
maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in
interest rates would result in a change to annual interest income of less than $0.2 million based
on the amount of cash and equivalents held as of October 27, 2007.
As of October 27, 2007, outstanding long-term debt included our $150.0 million Notes due in
2015, which bear a fixed rate of interest of 8.125%. Due to the fixed rate of interest on the
Notes, changes in interest rates would not have an impact on our interest expense. The fair value
of the Notes totaled approximately $151.7 million as of October 27, 2007 based on quoted market
prices. There exists market risk sensitivity on the fair value of the fixed rate Notes with respect
to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 50 basis point change in the market interest rates in
effect at October 27, 2007 would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the Notes
of approximately $4.4 million, calculated on a discounted cash flow basis.
As of October 27, 2007, borrowings of $15.0 million were outstanding under our Credit
Agreement at an interest rate of 7.75%. Our Credit Agreement generally permits borrowings at
a variable rate of interest. Assuming a hypothetical 100 basis point change in the rate at October
27, 2007, our annual interest cost on Credit Agreement borrowings would change by less than $0.2
million. In addition, we have $5.9 million of capital leases with varying rates of interest due
through fiscal 2011. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates in effect at October
27, 2007 on these capital leases would not have a material impact on the fair value of the leases
or on our annual interest cost.
We also have market risk for foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in
Canada. As of October 27, 2007, the market risk for foreign currency exchange rates was not
significant as our operations in Canada have not been material.
42
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of
the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer each concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
A number of the Companys competitors have been subject to class action lawsuits alleging
violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws. These lawsuits have
resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. We have been contacted by counsel
representing current and former employees alleging similar violations at certain of our
subsidiaries. These subsidiaries currently employ approximately 2,900 persons. In an effort to
avoid the expense of class action litigation and to timely resolve this matter, the parties have
engaged a third party to mediate discussions. Further discussions are expected to occur during the Companys second fiscal quarter ending January 26, 2008. There can be no assurance that these discussions will lead to any settlement and it is too early to evaluate the likelihood of an outcome or estimate the range of amount of any settlement.
In addition, in December 2006, two former employees of Apex Digital, LLC (Apex), a
wholly-owned subsidiary that was discontinued during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, commenced a
lawsuit against the subsidiary in Illinois State Court. The lawsuit alleges that Apex violated
certain minimum wage laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act and related state laws by failing to
comply with applicable minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. The plaintiffs seek damages and
costs. They also seek to certify, and eventually notify, a class consisting of former employees
who, since December 2004, have worked for Apex. On January 30, 2007 the case was removed to the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. In July 2007, plaintiffs
amended the complaint to include Dycom as a defendant. It is too early to evaluate the likelihood
of an outcome to this matter or estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any. We intend
to vigorously defend ourselves against this lawsuit.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also party to various claims and legal
proceedings in the normal course of business. We retain the risk of loss, up to certain limits, for
claims related to automobile liability, general liability, workers compensation, employee group
health, and locate damages. For these claims, the effect of our financial statements is generally
limited to the amount of our insurance deductible or self-insurance retention. It is the opinion of
our management, based on information available at this time, that none of such pending normal
course of business claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
