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 prior
        year 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 hedge in
        effect to offset the economic dilution of additional shares that would
        be issued in connection with the conversion of 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 debt discount on Notes - 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.
    --  Recovery of previously reserved accounts receivable and contract assets
        - During the six months ended July 27, 2019, the Company recognized
        $10.3 million of pre-tax income from the recovery of previously reserved
        accounts receivable and contract assets in the first quarter based on
        collections from a customer. The Company excludes the impact of this
        recovery from its Non-GAAP financial measures because the Company
        believes it is not indicative of its underlying results.
    --  Q1-20 charge for warranty costs - During the six months ended July 27,
        2019, the Company recorded an $8.2 million pre-tax charge for estimated
        warranty costs for work performed for a customer in prior periods. The
        Company excludes the impact of this charge from its Non-GAAP financial
        measures because the Company believes it is not indicative of its
        underlying results in the current period.
    --  Tax impact of the vesting and exercise of share-based awards - The
        Company excludes certain tax impacts resulting from the 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 previous tax year filing - During the quarter and six
        months ended July 27, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax expense
        of $1.1 million on a previous tax year filing. The Company has excluded
        this impact because the Company believes it is not indicative of the
        Company's underlying results or ongoing operations.
    --  Tax impact of pre-tax adjustments - The tax impact of pre-tax
        adjustments reflects the Company's effective tax rate used for financial
        planning for the applicable period.
