      (a) The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
       606) ("ASU 2014-09") effective January 28, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019. The adoption of ASU 2014-09
       resulted in balance sheet classification changes for amounts that have not been invoiced to customers but for
       which the Company has satisfied the performance obligation and has an unconditional right to receive payment.
       Prior to adoption, amounts not invoiced to customers were included in the Company's contract asset,
       historically referred to as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings, regardless of rights to

       from contract assets to accounts receivable, net. Upon reclassification, accounts receivable, net and
       contract assets were $630.4 million and $57.8 million, respectively, as of January 28, 2018.

              (a) The tax effects of future vestings and exercises of share-based awards are excluded from both GAAP Diluted Earnings (Loss) per common share and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share in the outlook table above.


               (b) GAAP Loss per common share at the low end of the outlook range for the quarter ending January 26, 2019 is calculated using 31.3 million shares, which excludes common stock equivalents related to share-based awards as their effect would be anti-
                dilutive.


               (c) The Company expects to recognize approximately $4.9 million and $19.1 million in pre-tax interest expense during the quarter ending January 26, 2019 and fiscal 2019, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount associated
                with the Notes. The addback for fiscal 2019 also includes approximately $0.01 per share for the Non-GAAP impact of the dilutive share effect of the Notes.


               (d) Actual GAAP diluted shares will include any dilutive effect of the Notes based on the average share price during the respective period. The Company has a note hedge in effect to offset the economic dilution of additional shares from the Notes up
                to an average quarterly price of $130.43 per share. Accordingly, for Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share calculations, the Company expects to present results per share that exclude the dilutive effect of the Notes, if any, based on
                the expected effect of the note hedge.

DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO COMPARABLE GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company's quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company's performance for the period reported with the Company's performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company's reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used in this release as follows:

    --  Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses
        that are included for the entire period in both the current and
        comparable prior periods, excluding contract revenues from storm
        restoration services. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue growth is
        calculated as the percentage change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract
        Revenues over those of the comparable prior year periods. Management
        believes organic growth is a helpful measure for comparing the Company's
        revenue performance with prior periods.


    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income before interest, taxes,
        depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based
        compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management
        believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the
        Company's operating performance with prior periods as well as with the
        performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax
        rates.


    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income - GAAP net income before the non-cash
        amortization of the debt discount and the related tax impact, certain
        tax impacts resulting from vesting and exercise of share-based awards,
        and certain non-recurring items.
    --  Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share and Non-GAAP
        Adjusted Diluted Shares - Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by
        Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Shares outstanding. The Company has a note
        hedge in effect to offset the economic dilution of additional shares
        from the Notes up to an average quarterly share price of $130.43. The
        measure of Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted shares used in computing Non-GAAP
        Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share excludes dilution from the
        Notes. Management believes that the calculation of Non-GAAP Adjusted
        Diluted shares to reflect the note hedge will be useful to investors
        because it provides insight into the offsetting economic effect of the
        hedge against potential conversion of the Notes.

Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share:

    --  Non-cash amortization of the debt discount - The Company's Notes were
        allocated between debt and equity components. The difference between the
        principal amount and the carrying amount of the liability component of
        the Notes represents a debt discount. The debt discount is being
        amortized over the term of the Notes but does not result in periodic
        cash interest payments. The Company has excluded the non-cash
        amortization of the debt discount from its Non-GAAP financial measures
        because it believes it is useful to analyze the component of interest
        expense for the Notes that will be paid in cash. The exclusion of the
        non-cash amortization from the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures
        provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial
        results.


    --  Tax impact of excess tax benefits or deficiencies - The Company excludes
        certain tax impacts resulting from vesting and exercise of share-based
        awards as these amounts may vary significantly from period to period.
        Excluding these amounts from the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures
        provides management with a more consistent measure for assessing
        financial results.
    --  Tax impact of adjusted results - The tax impact of adjusted results
        reflects the Company's effective tax rate used for financial planning
        for the applicable period.
