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. These services are provided throughout the United States and include
engineering, construction, maintenance and installation services to telecommunications providers,
underground facility 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 financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include all of the financial information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only 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 24, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended July
25, 2009 included in the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on September
3, 2009.
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. The results of Apex were not material in fiscal 2009 or 2010.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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: recognition of revenue
for costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, the fair value of goodwill and intangible
assets, income taxes, accrued insurance claims, asset lives used in computing depreciation and
amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts, compensation expense for performance-based stock
awards, and accruals for contingencies, including legal matters. At the time they are made, 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. However, actual results
could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.
6
Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing
these financial statements with the SEC on November 25, 2009, and there were no subsequent events
that would require disclosure, except for the legal matter disclosed in Note 15, Commitments and
Contingencies Legal Proceedings.
Restricted Cash As of October 24, 2009 and July 25, 2009, the Company had approximately
$4.9 million 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 used in
investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Comprehensive Income During the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008,
the Company did not have any material changes in its equity resulting from non-owner sources,
including foreign currency translation adjustments. Accordingly, comprehensive income approximated
the net income amounts presented for the respective periods operations.
Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plan A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
participates in a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that covers certain of its employees.
This subsidiary makes periodic contributions to the plan to meet its benefit obligations. During
each of the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008, the subsidiary contributed
approximately $1.2 million to the plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 825
requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. The Companys
financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts
receivable, income taxes receivable and payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair value due to the
short maturity of these items, except for the Companys 8.125% senior subordinated notes due
October 2015. The Company determined that the fair value of the 8.125% senior subordinated notes
at October 24, 2009 was $124.0 million based on quoted market prices compared to a carrying value
of $135.35 million.
Segment
Information The Company operates in one reportable segment as a specialty contractor, providing
engineering, construction, maintenance and installation services to telecommunications providers,
underground facility locating services to various utilities including telecommunications providers,
and other construction and maintenance services to electric utilities
and others. 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 Companys services are provided by its various subsidiaries throughout the United States and, on a limited basis, in Canada. One of the Companys subsidiaries earned revenues from
contracts in Canada of approximately $1.6 million and $1.1 million
during the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008,
respectively. The Company had no material long-lived assets in the
Canadian operations at October 24, 2009 and July 25, 2009.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2009, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 166,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, ASC Topic
860. SFAS No. 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more
stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale,
clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferors
interest in transferred financial assets. This statement is effective for the Company in fiscal
2011. The adoption of SFAS No. 166 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys
condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), ASC Topic 810. SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to require an analysis to determine
whether a variable interest gives a company a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity. This statement requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest
7
entity. This statement is effective for the Company in fiscal 2011. The adoption of SFAS No.
167 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial
statements.
2. Computation of Earnings Per Common Share
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (EITF
03-6-1), ASC Topic 260. ASC Topic 260 addresses whether unvested share-based payment awards with
rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents should be considered as participating
securities for the purposes of applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share.
The FASB staff concluded that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive
non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be
included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The Company adopted this
standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and the adoption did not change the Companys earnings
per share calculation for any prior period presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted
earnings per common share computation as required by ASC Topic 260. Basic earnings per common
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 common share
includes the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential
common shares, including unvested time vesting and certain performance vesting restricted shares
and restricted share units. Performance vesting restricted shares and restricted share units are
only included in diluted earnings per common share calculations for the period if all the necessary
performance conditions are satisfied and their impact is not anti-dilutive. Common stock
equivalents related to stock options are excluded from diluted earnings per common share
calculations if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

For finite-lived intangible assets, amortization expense for the three months ended October
24, 2009 and October 25, 2008 was $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Amortization of the
Companys customer relationships is recognized on an accelerated basis related to the expected
economic benefit of the intangible asset, while amortization of other finite-lived intangibles is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.
The Companys goodwill resides in multiple reporting units. The profitability of individual
reporting units may periodically suffer from downturns in customer demand and other factors
resulting from the cyclical nature of the Companys business, the high level of competition
existing within the Companys industry, the concentration of the Companys revenues within a
limited number of customers, and the level of overall economic
activity. Individual reporting units
may be relatively more impacted by these factors than the Company as
a whole. During
times of economic slowdown, the Companys customers may reduce their capital expenditures and defer
or cancel pending projects. As a result, demand for the services of one or more of the Companys
reporting units could decline resulting in an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets.
During fiscal 2009, the Companys market capitalization was significantly impacted by the
extreme volatility in the U.S. equity and credit markets and was below the book value of
shareholders equity as of the end of the Companys second quarter. As a result, the Company
evaluated whether the decrease in its market capitalization reflected factors that would more
likely than not reduce the fair value of the Companys reporting units below their carrying value.
Based on a combination of factors, including the economic environment, the sustained period of
decline in the Companys market capitalization, and the implied valuation and discount rate
assumptions in the Companys industry, the Company concluded there were sufficient indicators to
perform an interim impairment test of the reporting units and related intangible assets as of
January 24, 2009, and, as a result, recognized a preliminary goodwill impairment charge of $94.4
million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Companys interim impairment analysis was
finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and no further charges were incurred. The Company
performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and there was no
impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. However, the estimated fair value of
the Prince Telecom (Prince) reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by a margin of less than
25%. There were also smaller margins of fair value over carrying value for the Broadband
Installations Services, Ervin Cable Construction (Ervin), and UtiliQuest reporting units, as
their carrying values were written down to their estimated fair values during fiscal 2009. As a
result, the goodwill balances of these reporting units may have an increased likelihood of
impairment in future periods if adverse events were to occur or circumstances were to change and
the long-term outlook for their cash flows were adversely impacted. Broadband Installation
Services, Ervin, Prince, and UtiliQuest have remaining goodwill balances of $19.7 million, $7.4
million, $39.7 million, and $35.6 million, respectively, as of October 24, 2009.
Except
for the goodwill impairment charges described above, none of the Companys reporting units with
remaining goodwill balances incurred significant losses in fiscal 2009 or 2010. The estimates and
assumptions used in assessing the fair value of the Companys reporting units and the valuation of
the underlying assets and liabilities are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. Changes
in the Companys judgments and estimates could result in a significantly different estimate of the
fair value of the reporting units and could result in impairments of goodwill or intangible assets
at additional reporting units. A change in the estimated discount rate used would have impacted the
amount of the goodwill impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2009. Additionally, continued
adverse conditions in the economy and future volatility in the equity and credit markets could
further impact the valuation of the Companys
12
reporting units. The Company can provide no assurances that, if such conditions continue, they
will not trigger additional impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets in future periods.
As of October 24, 2009, the Company believes the carrying value of its goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible asset is recoverable; however, there can be no assurances that they
will not be impaired in future periods. Certain of the Companys reporting units also have other
intangible assets including tradenames and customer relationship intangibles. As of October 24,
2009, management believes that the carrying amounts of the intangible assets are recoverable.
However, if adverse events were to occur or circumstances were to change indicating that the
carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable, the assets would be reviewed for
impairment and the assets may become impaired.
7. Accrued Insurance Claims
The Company retains the risk of loss, up to certain limits, for claims relating to automobile
liability, general liability (including locate damages), workers compensation, employee group health.
With regard to losses occurring in fiscal 2010, the Company has retained the risk of loss up to
$1.0 million on a per occurrence basis for automobile liability, general liability and workers
compensation. These retention amounts are applicable to all of the states in which the Company
operates, except with respect to workers compensation insurance in three states in which the
Company participates in a state sponsored insurance fund. Aggregate stop loss coverage for
automobile liability, general liability and workers compensation claims is $43.8 million for
fiscal 2010. For losses under the Companys employee health plan occurring during fiscal 2010, it
has retained the risk of loss, on an annual basis, of $250,000 per participant.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company entered into a new three-year $195.0
million revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit
Agreement was subsequently amended to add an additional bank to the syndicate of banks and increase
the maximum borrowing available under the Credit Agreement from $195.0 million to $210.0 million.
The Credit Agreement has an expiration date of September 12, 2011 and includes a sublimit of $100.0
million for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Agreement
provides for two one-year extensions and, after giving affect to the amendment, also provides the
ability to borrow an incremental $85.0 million (the Incremental Revolving Facility).
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Companys option, at either (a)
the administrative agents base rate, described in the Credit Agreement as the higher of the
administrative agents prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (b) LIBOR (a publicly
published rate) plus, in either instance, a spread determined by the Companys condensed
consolidated leverage ratio. Since the Credit Agreement has been in place, the spread above the administrative agents base
rate ranged from 0.75% to 1.00% and the spread above LIBOR ranged from 1.75% to 2.00%. The Credit
Agreement requires the payment of fees for outstanding
14
letters of credit and unutilized commitments, in each case based on the Companys consolidated
leverage ratio. Since inception of the Credit Agreement, fees for outstanding letters of credit
ranged from 1.875% to 2.125% per annum and fees for unutilized commitments ranged from 0.625% to
0.75% per annum. The payments under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries and
secured by a pledge of (i) 100% of the equity of the Companys material domestic subsidiaries, and
(ii) 100% of the non-voting equity and 65% of the voting equity of first tier material foreign
subsidiaries, if any, in each case excluding certain unrestricted subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including
limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and
acquisitions, disposition of assets, sale-leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates.
It also contains defined financial covenants which require the Company to (i) maintain a leverage
ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, 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 total tangible net worth, as measured at
the end of each fiscal quarter, of not less than $50.0 million plus (A) 50% of condensed
consolidated net income (if positive) from September 12, 2008 to the date of computation plus (B)
75% of equity issuances made from September 12, 2008 to the date of computation.
As of October 24, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $47.9 million of
outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding letters of credit
are issued as part of the Companys insurance program. At October 24, 2009, the Company had
additional borrowing availability of $162.1 million as determined by the most restrictive covenants
of the Credit Agreement and was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.
In October 2005, Dycom Investments, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.125% senior subordinated notes due October
2015 (Notes). Interest on the Notes is due on April 15th and October 15th of each year. The
Company purchased $14.65 million principal amount of the Notes during fiscal 2009 for $11.3
million. The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that restrict the Companys ability
to, among other things:
|
|
make certain payments, including the payment of dividends; |
|
|
|
redeem or repurchase capital stock; |
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock; |
|
|
|
make investments or create liens; |
|
|
|
enter into sale and leaseback transactions; |
|
|
|
merge or consolidate with another entity; |
|
|
|
sell certain assets; and |
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates. |
The Company had $0.6 million in capital lease obligations as of October 24, 2009 which were
assumed in connection with the fiscal 2007 acquisition of Broadband Installation Services.

10. Income Taxes
In previous years, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges on an investment for
financial statement purposes and recorded a deferred tax asset reflecting the tax benefits of those
impairment charges. During the three months ended October 24, 2009, the investment became impaired
for tax purposes and the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the associated tax
benefit will not be realized prior to its eventual expiration. Accordingly, the Company
recognized a non-cash income tax charge of $1.1 million for a
valuation allowance on the
associated deferred tax asset.
As of October 24, 2009, the Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $3.0 million, which
would reduce the Companys effective tax rate during future periods if it is subsequently
determined that those liabilities are not required. The Company recognizes interest related to
unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.
During each of the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008, the Company
recognized less than $0.1 million of interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations related to unrecognized tax benefits.

12. Capital Stock
On each of August 28, 2007 and May 20, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $15.0 million of its common stock in open market or private transactions (for
an aggregate authorization of $30.0 million). The Board of Directors further increased its
authorization to repurchase shares of its common stock by $15.0 million, increasing the aggregate
authorization from $30.0 million to $45.0 million on August 26, 2008. The stock repurchases are
authorized to be made through February 2010. As of October 24, 2009, approximately $16.9 million of
the aggregate authorized amount remains available for the repurchase of common stock.

13. Stock-Based Awards
Stock-based awards are granted by the Company under its 2003 Long-term Incentive Plan (2003
Plan) and the 2007 Non-Employee Directors Equity Plan (2007 Directors Plan), (collectively, the
Plans). The Company also has several other plans under which no further awards will be granted,
including expired plans. The Companys policy is to issue new shares to satisfy equity awards
under the Plans. Under the terms of the 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. The Plans also provide
for the grants of time based restricted share units (RSUs), that currently vest ratably over a
four year period from the date of grant. Additionally, the 2003 Plan provides for the grants of
performance based restricted share units (Performance RSUs).
Outstanding Performance RSUs vest over a three year period from the
grant date if certain Company performance goals are achieved.
The following table summarizes the stock-based awards activity during the three months ended
October 24, 2009:

The Performance RSUs in the above table represent the maximum number of awards which may vest under
the outstanding grants assuming that all performance criteria are met. Approximately 237,000 Performance RSUs
outstanding as of October 24, 2009 will be cancelled during the second quarter of fiscal 2010
related to fiscal 2009 performance criteria not being 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 statements of
operations. The compensation expense and the related tax benefit recognized related to stock
options, restricted share and restricted share units for the three months ended October 24, 2009
and October 25, 2008 is as follows:

The Company evaluates compensation expense quarterly and only recognizes expense for
performance based awards if management determines it is probable that the performance criteria for
the awards will be met. The total amount of expense ultimately recognized is based on the number
of awards that actually vest. Accordingly, the amount recognized during current and prior periods
may not be representative of future stock-based compensation expense.
Under the Plans, the maximum total unrecognized compensation expense and weighted-average
period over which the expense would be recognized subsequent to October 24, 2009 is as follows:

For Performance RSUs, the unrecognized compensation cost above is based upon the maximum amount of
restricted units that can be earned under outstanding awards and excludes unrecognized compensation
for awards that will cancel in December 2009 due to the fiscal 2009 performance criteria not being
met. If performance goals are not met related to future performance periods, no compensation
expense will be recognized for these units and compensation expense previously recognized will be
reversed.
14. Related Party Transactions
The Company leases administrative offices from entities related to officers of the Companys
subsidiaries. The total expense under these arrangements was $0.3 million for each of the three
month periods ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008, respectively.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings.
In May 2009, the Company and one of its subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit in
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs, all former
employees of the subsidiary, allege various wage and hour claims, including that employees were not
paid for all hours worked and were subject to improper wage
deductions. Plaintiffs seek to certify as a
class current and former employees of the subsidiary who worked in the State of Washington. In
November 2009, the plaintiffs attorneys, the Company and the subsidiary entered into a memorandum
of understanding pursuant to which the parties agreed to the terms of a
18
proposed settlement with respect to the lawsuit. The proposed settlement provides for the
resolution of all claims against the Company and the subsidiary in exchange for an aggregate
payment of not more than $2.2 million. This proposed settlement is subject to a number of
contingencies, including preparation of a Stipulation of Settlement and Release, preliminary Court
approval, certification of a settlement class and final Court approval after providing
members of the plaintiffs class with notice of the settlement terms. The Company has estimated
the liability of this proposed settlement at $2.0 million and recorded a pre-tax charge for this
amount during the quarter ended October 24, 2009. The actual amount of the proposed settlement to
be paid will depend on the number of class members that participate in the settlement, and could
differ from the estimated amount.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also party to various other
claims and legal proceedings. Additionally, as part of the Companys insurance program, the Company
retains 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 on the Companys financial statements is generally limited to the amount of the Companys
insurance deductible or insurance retention. It is the opinion of the Companys management, based
on information available at this time, that none of such other pending claims or proceedings will
have a material effect on its 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
contractual obligations. As of October 24, 2009, the Company had $38.5 million of outstanding
performance bonds and 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 subsidiaries,
including obligations in connection with obtaining state contractor licenses and leasing real
property.

2009 and October 25, 2008, respectively.
AT&T, Inc. (AT&T), Comcast Cable Corporation (Comcast) , and Verizon Communications, Inc.
(Verizon) represent a significant portion of the Companys customer base. For the three month
periods ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008, revenues from AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon
represented the following percentages of total revenue from continuing operations:

The Company believes that none of its significant customers were experiencing financial
difficulties that would impact the collectability of the Companys trade accounts receivable and
costs in excess of billings as of October 24, 2009. The outstanding balances for trade accounts
receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of October 24, 2009, from
AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon, totaled approximately $25.8 million or 15.1%, $20.6 million or 12.0%,
and $40.0 million or 23.4%, respectively, of the outstanding balances. The outstanding balances
for these amounts as of July 25, 2009 from AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon totaled approximately $28.5
million or 15.6%, $21.6 million or 11.8%, and $48.0 million or 26.2%, respectively, of the
outstanding balances.
17. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Statements
As of October 24, 2009, the principal amount outstanding of the Companys Notes was $135.35
million. The Notes were issued in fiscal 2006 by Dycom Investments, Inc. (Issuer), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The following condensed 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 consolidated basis, and (vi) the
Company on a consolidated basis. The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in
accordance with the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded
at cost and adjusted for the
20
Companys share of subsidiaries cumulative results of operations, capital contributions,
distributions and other equity changes. Intercompany charges (income) between the Parent and
subsidiaries are recognized in the condensed consolidating financial statements during the period
incurred and the settlement of intercompany balances is reflected in the condensed consolidating
statement of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying transactions.
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.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended July 25, 2009. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 25,
2009 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 3, 2009 and is
available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov and on our
website, which is www.dycomind.com.
Cautionary
Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Information
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Dycom Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(referred to as the Company, we, us, or our) have made forward-looking statements. The
words believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, forecast, may, should,
could, project and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may
include, but are not limited to:
|
|
|
anticipated outcomes of contingent events, including litigation; |
|
|
|
|
projections of revenues, income or loss, or capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
plans for future operations, growth and acquisitions, dispositions, or financial
needs; |
|
|
|
|
availability of financing; |
|
|
|
|
plans relating to our services, including our contract backlog; |
|
|
|
|
current economic conditions and trends in the industries we serve; and |
|
|
|
|
assumptions relating to any of foregoing. |
These forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations, estimates and
projections and 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 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on September 3, 2009 and other risks
outlined in our periodic filings with the SEC. Except as required by law, we may not update
forward-looking statements, although our circumstances 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 facility 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 24, 2009, the percentage of our revenue by customer type from
telecommunications, underground facility locating, and electric utilities and other customers, was
approximately 79.1%, 18.1%, and 2.8%, respectively.
28
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, as well as 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.
A significant portion of our services are performed under master service agreements and other
arrangements with customers that extend for periods of one or more years. We are currently a party
to approximately 200 of these agreements. Master service agreements generally contain customer
specified service requirements, such as discrete pricing for individual tasks. To the extent that
such contracts specify exclusivity, there are often a number of exceptions, including the ability
of the customer to issue work orders valued above a specified dollar amount to other service
providers, perform work with the customers own employees, and use other service providers 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 are 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 of three to four months in duration.
A portion of our contracts include retainage provisions under which 5% to 10% of the contract
invoicing may be withheld by the customer pending 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 as the services are performed.
The following table summarizes our revenues from multi-year master service agreements and
other long-term contracts, as a percentage of contract revenues from continuing operations:

The percentage of revenue from long-term contracts varies between periods depending on the
volume of work performed under the Companys contracts. During the three months ended October 24,
2009, revenue from total long-term contracts increased compared to the prior period as more work
was performed for contracts with original terms greater than one year. Revenue during the three
months ended October 25, 2008 included revenue for services performed under short-term contracts
related to the hurricanes that impacted the Southern United States during September 2008.
29
A significant portion of our revenue comes from several large customers. The following table
reflects the percentage of total revenue from those customers who contributed at least 2.5% of our
total revenue from continuing operations in the three month periods
ended October 24, 2009 or October 25, 2008:

For comparison purposes, CenturyTel, Inc. and Embarq Corporation revenues have been combined for
periods prior to their July 2009 merger. |
Cost of earned revenues includes all direct costs of providing services under our contracts,
including costs for direct labor provided by employees, services by subcontractors, operation of
capital equipment (excluding depreciation and amortization), and insurance claims and other related
costs. 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
underground facility locating services. A change in claims experience or actuarial assumptions
related to these risks could materially affect our results of operations. For a majority of the
contract services we perform, 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 financial and performance risk,
are not included in our revenue or costs of sales. In addition, cost of earned revenues for the
three months ended October 24, 2009 includes a $2.0 million charge related to the proposed
settlement of a legal matter, see Legal Proceedings below.
General and administrative costs include all of our corporate costs, 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, legal and
professional fees, information technology and development costs, provision for or recoveries of bad
debt expense, and other costs that are not directly related to our services under customer
contracts. Our senior management, including the senior managers of our subsidiaries, perform
substantially all of our sales and marketing functions as part of their management responsibilities
and, accordingly, we have not incurred material sales and marketing expenses.
We are subject to concentrations of credit risk relating primarily to our cash and
equivalents, trade accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Cash
and equivalents primarily include balances on deposit in banks. We maintain substantially all of
our cash and equivalents at financial institutions we believe to be of high credit quality.
Furthermore, a substantial portion of the balances held as cash in operating accounts with these
financial institutions is within the current insurance levels of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. To date we have not experienced any loss or lack of access to cash in our operating
accounts;
30
however, we can provide no assurances that access to our cash and equivalents will not be
impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, to our customers.
These customers primarily consist of telephone companies, cable television multiple system
operators and electric utilities. With respect to a portion of the services provided to these
customers, we have certain statutory lien rights which may in certain circumstances enhance our
collection efforts. Adverse changes in overall business and economic factors may impact our
customers and increase potential credit risks. These risks may be heightened as a result of the
current economic climate and market volatility. In the past, some of our customers have experienced
significant financial difficulties and likewise, some may experience financial difficulties in the
future. These difficulties expose us to increased risks related to the collectability of amounts
due for services performed. We believe that none of our significant customers were experiencing
financial difficulties that would impact the collectability of our trade accounts receivable and
costs in excess of billings as of October 24, 2009.
Growth in economic activity slowed substantially beginning in fiscal 2009. The duration of the
current economic weakness and the impact that it will have on our customers remain uncertain. The
economic slowdown, when combined with developments in the financial and credit markets, has created
a challenging business environment for us and our customers. We are closely monitoring the effects
that changes in economic and market conditions may have on our customers and our business,
including rising fuel costs, and we continue to manage the areas of the business that we can
control. These areas include, but are not limited to, deploying appropriate workforce levels and
supervisory employees, practicing sound safety procedures, managing fuel consumption levels and
maintaining the investment in our fleet of vehicles and equipment to support current and future
business opportunities.
Legal Proceedings
In May 2009, the Company and one of our subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit in
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs, former employees of
the subsidiary, allege various wage and hour claims, including that employees were not paid for all
hours worked and were subject to improper wage deductions. Plaintiffs seek to certify as a class current
and former employees of the subsidiary who worked in the State of Washington. In November 2009, the
plaintiffs attorneys, the Company and the subsidiary entered into a memorandum of understanding
pursuant to which the parties agreed to the terms of a proposed settlement with respect to the
lawsuit. The proposed settlement provides for the resolution of all claims against us and the
subsidiary in exchange for an aggregate payment of not more than $2.2 million. This proposed
settlement is subject to a number of contingencies, including preparation of a Stipulation of
Settlement and Release, preliminary Court approval, certification of a settlement class and final
Court approval after providing members of the plaintiffs class with notice of the settlement
terms. The Company has estimated the liability of this proposed settlement at $2.0 million and
recorded a pre-tax charge for this amount during the quarter ended October 24, 2009. The actual
amount of the proposed settlement to be paid will depend on the number of class members that
participate in the settlement, and could differ from the estimated amount.

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other claims and
legal proceedings. Additionally, as part of our insurance program, 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 on our
financial statements is generally limited to the amount needed to satisfy our insurance deductibles
or retentions. It is the opinion of management, based on information available at this time, that
none of such other pending 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, acquire, and successfully integrate companies.
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
condensed consolidated 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
recognition of revenue for costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, the fair value of
goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, accrued insurance claims, asset lives used in
determining depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based
compensation expense for performance awards, and the outcome of contingencies, including legal
matters. These estimates and assumptions require the use of judgment as to the likelihood of
various future outcomes 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 25, 2009 for further information regarding our critical
accounting policies and estimates.

Revenues decreased $74.9 million, or 22.4%, during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as
compared to the three months ended October 25, 2008. The decrease was the result of a $58.3
million decrease in specialty contracting services provided to telecommunications customers, a
$12.0 million decrease in revenues from construction and maintenance services provided to electric
utilities and other customers, and a $4.6 million decrease in underground facility locating
services revenue.
Specialty construction services provided to telecommunications companies were $204.9 million
during the three months ended October 24, 2009, compared to $263.2 million during the three months
ended October 25, 2008, a decrease of 22.1%. During the three months ended October 25, 2008, we
performed restoration services totaling $13.9 million related to the hurricanes that impacted the
Southern United States. There were no services for storm work during fiscal 2010. We also
experienced other decreases from
33
significant customers as a result of their reductions in spending, including a $27.5 million decrease for a
customer engaged in a multi-year fiber deployment project, a $6.6 million decrease for installation, maintenance and construction services provided to three cable multiple
system operators, and a $5.3 million decline in work performed for two significant telephone customers. Other customers had net decreases of $7.3 million during the
three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to the three months ended October 25, 2008. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $2.3 million increase in services to a
significant telephone customer that merged with another telephone customer in July 2009.
Total revenues from underground facility locating during the three months ended October 24,
2009 were $46.9 million compared to $51.5 million during the three months ended October 25, 2008, a
decrease of 8.9%. The decrease resulted from general declines in customer demand levels from its
customers. Additionally, the three months ended October 25, 2008 included $0.8 million of
restoration work related to the hurricanes that impacted the Southern United States.
Our total revenues from electric utilities and other construction and maintenance services
decreased $12.0 million, or 62.2%, during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to
the three months ended October 25, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline
in construction work performed for gas customers, including a gas pipeline project for a customer
that was completed during fiscal 2009. Additionally, the three months ended October 25, 2008
included $0.4 million of restoration work related to the hurricanes that impacted the Southern
United States.
Costs of Earned Revenues. Costs of earned revenues
decreased $58.7 million to $210.0 million for the three months ended October 24, 2009 compared to $268.6 million for the three months ended October 25,
2008. Included in costs of earned revenues for the three months ended October 24, 2009 is a $2.0 million charge recorded in connection with the proposed settlement of a
legal matter described under Legal Proceedings above. The primary components of the remaining $60.7 million net decrease in cost of earned revenues were direct
labor and subcontractor costs taken together, other direct costs, and direct materials which decreased $45.9 million, $11.3 million, and $3.5 million, respectively.
The decrease in costs of earned revenues was primarily due to lower levels of operations during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to the period ended
October 25, 2008. Costs of earned revenues as a percentage of contract revenues increased 0.6% for the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to the same
period last year due in part to the $2.0 million charge related to the proposed legal settlement referred to above, or 0.8% of contract revenues. Excluding the
$2.0 million legal settlement charge referred to above, costs of earned revenues as a percentage of contract revenues decreased 0.2% for the three months ended
October 24, 2009 as compared to the three months ended October 25, 2008. Fuel costs decreased 0.9% as a percentage of contract revenues as compared to the same
period last year primarily due to declines in the price of gasoline and diesel fuel. Labor and subcontractor costs decreased 0.1% as compared to the same period last year due to
reduced labor and subcontractor costs in relation to current operating levels. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in other direct costs of 0.8% as a percentage of
contract revenues, primarily from increased development costs related
to prior insurance claims and from lower absorption of support
and field office costs in relation to reduced operating levels
during the current year period.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $4.0
million to $23.5 million during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to $27.5
million for the three months ended October 25, 2008. This
decrease resulted from a reduction in incentive pay expense due to
lower operating levels and reduced legal and professional fees and
34
other expenses as compared to the three months ended October 25, 2008. Additionally,
stock-based compensation expense decreased to $1.0 million during the three months ended October
24, 2009 from $1.5 million during the three months ended October 25, 2008. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of contract revenues increased to 9.1% compared to 8.2% for
the same period in the prior year, reflecting lower absorption of a
portion of our expenses, such as certain office and support costs and certain payroll costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $15.2 million
during the three months ended October 24, 2009 from $16.6 million during the three months ended
October 25, 2008 and increased as a percentage of contract revenues to 5.9% compared to 5.0% from
the same period in the prior year. The decrease in amount was primarily a result of certain assets
becoming fully depreciated or sold during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010.
Amortization expense also decreased during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to
the three months ended October 25, 2008. This reduction related
to customer
relationship intangible assets of certain prior acquisitions that
became fully
amortized.
Interest Income and Expense.
Interest expense was $3.5 million during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to $4.1 million during the
three months ended October 25, 2008. The decrease in the current period reflects reduced interest
expense on our senior subordinated notes as a result of the buyback of $14.65 million principal
amount of the notes during fiscal 2009 and reduced
balances for letters of credit and borrowings under our
Credit Agreement.
Other Income, Net. Other income increased to $1.1 million during the three months ended
October 24, 2009 from $0.4 million during the three months ended October 25, 2008.
During the three months ended October 25, 2008 other income, net
included a charge of $0.6 million
for the write-off of deferred financing costs in connection with the
replacement of our previous credit agreement.
Income Taxes. In previous years, we incurred a non-cash impairment on an investment for
financial statement purposes and recorded a deferred tax asset reflecting the tax benefits of those
impairment charges. During the three months ended October 24, 2009, the investment became impaired
for tax purposes and we determined that it is more likely than not that the associated tax benefit
will not be realized prior to its eventual expiration. Accordingly, the Company recognized
a non-cash income tax charge of $1.1 million for a valuation
allowance on the associated deferred tax
asset. The following table presents our income tax expense and effective income tax rate for
continuing operations during the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2008:

Other variations in our tax rate are attributable to the impact of non-deductable and
non-taxable items in relation to our pre-tax income during the period. As of October 24, 2009, we
had total unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3.0 million, which would reduce the Companys
effective tax rate during the periods recognized if it is subsequently determined that those
liabilities are not required.
Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations was $3.5 million during
the three months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to $10.6 million during the three months ended
October 25, 2008.
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, we discontinued the operations of
Apex. Apex did not have material operations in fiscal 2009 or 2010.
Net Income. Net income was $3.5 million during the three months ended October 24, 2009 as
compared to net income of $10.5 million during the three months ended October 25, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital requirements. Historically, our sources of cash have been operating activities,
long-term debt, equity offerings, bank borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of idle and surplus
equipment and real property. Our working capital needs vary based upon our level of operations and
generally increase with higher levels of revenues. They are also impacted by the time it takes us
to collect our accounts receivable for work performed for our customers. Cash and cash equivalents
totaled $120.5 million at October 24, 2009 compared to $104.7 million at July 25, 2009. Cash
increased for the three months ended October 24, 2009 as a result of cash collected from operations
offset by capital expenditures. Working capital (total current assets less total current
liabilities) increased by $13.7 million to $230.9 million at October 24, 2009 compared to
$217.2 million at July 25, 2009.
Capital resources are primarily used to purchase equipment and maintain sufficient levels of
working capital in order to support our contractual commitments to customers. We periodically
borrow from and repay our Credit Agreement based on our cash requirements. Additionally, to the
extent we make acquisitions that involve consideration other than our stock, buyback our common
stock or repurchase or call our senior subordinated notes, our capital requirements may increase.
In the normal course of business, we may hedge our anticipated fuel purchases with the use of
financial instruments. For the quarter ended October 24, 2009, we were not party to any such
financial instruments. We believe that none of our major customers are experiencing significant
financial difficulty as of October 24, 2009 that will materially affect our cash flows or
liquidity.

Cash from operating activities. During the three months ended October 24, 2009, net cash
provided by operating activities was $24.6 million. Non-cash items during the three months ended
October 24, 2009 were primarily depreciation and amortization, gain on disposal of assets,
stock-based compensation, and deferred income taxes. Changes in working capital (excluding cash)
and changes in other long term assets and liabilities contributed $4.3 million of operating cash
flow during the three months ended October 24, 2009. The primary working capital sources during
the three months ended October 24, 2009 were decreases in accounts receivable and net costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings of $3.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively. During
the quarter, the timing of our billing and the collection activity improved compared to the
prior year. Based on average daily revenue during the applicable quarter, days sales outstanding
calculated for accounts receivable, net was 39.7 days as of October 24, 2009 compared to 42.5 days
as of October 25, 2008. Days sales outstanding calculated for costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings, net of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, were 20.1 days as of
October 24, 2009 compared to 26.1 days as of October 25, 2008. During the current period, cash
flows also were increased for changes in net income taxes receivable
of $6.8 million as a result of the
receipt of income tax refunds.
Working capital changes that used operating cash flow during the three months ended October
24, 2009 were decreases in other accrued liabilities and accrued insurance claims of $10.3 million.
These decreases were primarily attributable to payments of approximately $5.5 million for the
semi-annual interest due on our 8.125% senior subordinated notes (Notes), and amounts paid for
annual incentive compensation during October 2009. Offsetting these decreases was a $2.0 million
increase in other accrued liabilities related to the proposed
settlement of the legal matter described in Legal
Proceedings above and a $1.0 million increase in accrued insurance claims related to increased
claim activity for prior year periods. Other working capital changes that used operating
cash flow during the three months ended October 24, 2009 were net increases in other current and
other non-current assets of $5.2 million, primarily the result of increased prepaid insurance and
other prepaid costs that coincide with the beginning of our fiscal year. Additionally, accounts
payable decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended October 24, 2009 due to the timing of
receipt and payment of invoices.
For the three months ended October 25, 2008, changes in working capital and changes in other
long term assets and liabilities used $27.3 million of operating cash flow. Working capital
changes that used operating cash flow during the three months ended October 25, 2008 included
increases in accounts receivable and net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
of $9.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, due to current period billing and collection
activity and the payment patterns of our customers, including billings related to hurricane
restoration work performed during October 2008. Other working capital changes that used
operating cash flow during the three months ended October 25, 2008 were decreases in other
liabilities of $16.6 million primarily attributable to payments of approximately $8.6 million
paid in connection with the fiscal 2008 settlement of a legal matter, $6.1 million for the
semi-annual interest due on our Notes, and payments for annual incentive compensation during
October 2008. Additionally, we had net increases in other current and other non-current assets
of $5.6 million primarily as a result of increased prepaid insurance and other prepaid costs.
Components of the working capital changes that contributed to operating cash flow during the
three months ended October 25, 2008 were increases in accounts payable of $2.6 million due to the
timing of the receipt and payment of invoices and a decrease in income taxes receivable of
$3.7 million due to the timing of required payments.
Cash used in investing activities. For the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25,
2008, net cash used in investing activities was $8.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures of $9.9 million and $9.3 million during the three months ended October 24,
2009 and October 25, 2008, respectively, were offset in part by $1.6 million and $1.3 million,
respectively, in proceeds from the sale of assets. Capital expenditures increased during the three
months ended October 24, 2009 as compared to the prior period due to the replacement cycle
of our assets. Restricted cash, primarily related to funding provisions of our insurance claims
program, increased $0.2 million during the three months ended October 25, 2008.
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities. For the three months ended October 24, 2009
and October 25, 2008, net cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million as compared to $27.8
million of cash provided by financing activities during the three
37
months ended October 25, 2008. During the three months ended October 24, 2009 and October 25,
2008 we paid $0.5 million and $0.7 million for principal amounts owed on our capital leases,
respectively. During the three months ended October 25, 2008 we borrowed $30.0 million under our
Credit Agreement and paid $1.5 million in debt issuance costs
related to the Credit Agreement.
Compliance with Notes and Credit Agreement
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that restrict our ability to, among other
things:
|
|
make certain payments, including the payment of dividends; |
|
|
|
redeem or repurchase our capital stock; |
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock; |
|
|
|
make investments or create liens; |
|
|
|
enter into sale and leaseback transactions; |
|
|
|
merge or consolidate with another entity; |
|
|
|
sell certain assets; and |
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates. |
As of October 24, 2009, the principal amount outstanding under the Notes was $135.35 million
and we were in compliance with the indenture governing the
Notes.
The Companys $210.0 million revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), which expires in
September 2011, contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with
respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, distributions, mergers and acquisitions, disposition
of assets, sale-leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates. It also contains defined
financial covenants which require us to (i) maintain a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to
1.00, 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
consolidated total tangible net worth, as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, of not less
than $50.0 million plus (A) 50% of consolidated net income (if positive) from September 12, 2008 to
the date of computation plus (B) 75% of equity issuances made from September 12, 2008 to the date
of computation. The Credit Agreement has a sublimit of $100.0 million for the issuance of letters
of credit. As of October 24, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings and $47.9 million of
outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding letters of credit
are issued as part of our insurance program. At October 24, 2009, we had additional borrowing
availability of up to $162.1 million, as determined by the most restrictive covenants of the Credit
Agreement, and were in compliance with all of the financial covenants.
Contractual Obligations. The following tables set forth our outstanding contractual

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 24, 2009 includes a long term liability
of approximately $31.1 million for Accrued Insurance Claims. This liability has been excluded from
the above table as the timing of any cash payments is uncertain. See Note 7 of the notes to our
condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our accrued
insurance claims liability.
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions at October 24, 2009
was $3.0 million and is included in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
This entire 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have obligations under performance bonds related to
certain of our customer contracts. Performance bonds generally provide a customer with the right
to obtain payment and/or performance from the issuer of the bond if we fail to perform our
obligations under a contract. As of October 24, 2009, we had $38.5 million of outstanding
performance bonds and no events have occurred in which customers have exercised their rights
under the performance bonds.
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. These obligations include interest payments required on our Notes and
borrowings, working capital requirements, and the normal replacement of equipment at our current
level of operations 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, or to the extent we repurchase common stock or our
senior subordinates notes, our capital requirements may increase.
Although the distress in the financial markets has not significantly impacted our financial
position or our cash flow as of and
39
for the three months October 24, 2009, management continues to monitor the financial markets
and assess general economic conditions. If further changes in financial markets or other areas of
the economy adversely impact our ability to access capital markets, we would expect to rely on a
combination of available cash and existing committed credit facilities to provide short-term
funding. We believe that our cash investment policies are conservative and we expect that the
current volatility in the capital markets will not have a material impact on our cash investments.
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
master service agreements and other long-term requirements contracts. 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. Our estimates
of a customers requirements during a particular future period may not prove to be accurate,
particularly in light of the current economic conditions and the uncertainty that imposes on
changes in our customers requirements for our services.
Our backlog totaled $818.9 million and $935.4 billion at October 24, 2009 and July 25, 2009,
respectively. We expect to complete 63.1% of the October 24, 2009 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. Also, 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 decrease around
calendar year end holidays as their customers generally require less activity during this period.
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 and the timing of budget
approvals; |
|
|
|
|
the commencement or termination of master service agreements and other long-term
agreements with customers; |
|
|
|
|
costs incurred to support growth internally or through acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations 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 obligations; |
|
|
|
|
changes in mix of customers, contracts, and business activities; |
40
|
|
|
fluctuations in insurance expense due to changes in claims experience and
actuarial assumptions; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in stock-based compensation expense as a result of performance
criteria in performance-based share awards, as well as the timing and vesting period
of all stock-based awards; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in performance cash awards as a result of operating results; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations interest expense due to levels of debt and related borrowing costs; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in other income as a result of the timing and levels of capital
assets sold during the period, and |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in income tax expense due to levels of taxable earnings. |
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 are exposed to market risks related to interest rates on our cash and equivalents and our
debt obligations. We monitor the effects of market changes on interest rates and manage interest
rate risks by investing in short-term cash equivalents 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 earnings of approximately $1.2 million based on
the amount of cash and equivalents held as of October 24, 2009.
Our
revolving credit facility permits borrowings at a variable rate of interest; however, we had no
outstanding borrowings as of October 24, 2009. Outstanding long-term debt at October 24, 2009
included $135.35 million of our senior subordinated Notes due in 2015 (the
Notes), 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
the related interest expense. The fair value of the outstanding Notes totaled approximately $124.0
million as of October 24, 2009, 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 would result in an increase or
decrease in the fair value of the Notes of approximately $3.2 million, calculated on a discounted
cash flow basis.
We had $0.6 million of capital leases outstanding at October 24, 2009 with varying rates of
interest due through fiscal 2011 under separate lease agreements. A hypothetical 100 basis point
change in interest rates in effect at October 24, 2009 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 24, 2009, the market risk for foreign currency exchange rates was not
significant as our operations in Canada have not been material.
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
41
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
In May 2009, the Company and one of our subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit in
the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiffs, former employees of
the subsidiary, allege various wage and hour claims, including that employees were not paid for all
hours worked and were subject to improper wage deductions. Plaintiffs seek to certify as a class current
and former employees of the subsidiary who worked in the State of Washington. In November 2009, the
plaintiffs attorneys, the Company and the subsidiary entered into a memorandum of understanding
pursuant to which the parties agreed to the terms of a proposed settlement with respect to the
lawsuit. The proposed settlement provides for the resolution of all
claims against the Company and the
subsidiary in exchange for an aggregate payment of not more than $2.2 million. This proposed
settlement is subject to a number of contingencies, including preparation of a Stipulation of
Settlement and Release, preliminary Court approval, certification of a settlement class and final
Court approval after providing members of the plaintiffs class with notice of the settlement
terms. The Company has estimated the liability of this proposed settlement at $2.0 million and
recorded a pre-tax charge for this amount during the quarter ended October 24, 2009. The actual
amount of the proposed settlement to be paid will depend on the number of class members that
participate in the settlement, and could differ from the estimated amount.
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various other claims and
legal proceedings. Additionally, as part of our insurance program, 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 on our
financial statements is generally limited to the amount needed to satisfy our insurance deductibles
or retentions. It is the opinion of management, based on information available at this time, that
none of such other pending claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our fiscal 2009 Form
10-K under the heading Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
