11 Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Com pany’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 as follows: • Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues – contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding con tract revenues from certain non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non -GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA – EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted for gain on sale of fixed assets, stock -based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s opera ting performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates.

13 Notes 1. One customer, AT&T, exceeded 10% of total revenues for Q1 2026. Customers exceeding 5% of total revenues for Q1 2026 were Brightspeed , Charter, Comcast, Frontier, Lumen, Verizon and an unnamed customer. 2. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues are contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from certain non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non -GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. 3. The Company’s backlog represents an estimate of services to be performed pursuant to master service agreements and other cont ractual agreements over the terms of those contracts. These estimates are based on contract terms and evaluations regarding the timing of the services to be provided. In the case of master service agreements, backlog is estimated based on the work performed in the preceding 12-month period, when available. When estimating backlog for newly initiated master service agreements and other long and short-term contracts, the Company also considers the anticipated scope of the contract and information received from the customer during the procur ement process. A significant majority of the Company’s backlog comprises services under master service agreements and other long- term contracts. Backlog is not a measure defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information provided in accordance with GAAP. Participants in the Company’s industry also disclose a calculation of their backlog; however, the Company’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Dycom utilizes the calculation of backlog to assist in measuring aggregate awards under existing contractual relationships with its customers. The Company beli eves its backlog disclosures will assist investors in better understanding this estimate of the services to be performed pursuant to awards by its customers under existing contractual re lationships. 4. As of both Q1 2026 and Q4 2025, the Company had $47.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credi t Facility. 5. Liquidity represents the sum of availability from the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, considering net funded debt balances, and available cash and equivalents. For calculation of availability under the Senior Credit Facility, applicable cash and equivalents are netted against the funded debt amount. 6. DSO is calculated as the summation of current and non-current accounts receivable (including unbilled receivables), net of allowance for doubtful accounts, plus current contract assets, less contract liabilities, divided by average revenue per day during the respective quarter. Long -term contract assets are excluded from the calculation of DSO, as these amounts represent payments made to customers pursuant to long-term agreements and are recognized as a reduction of contract revenues ove r the period for which the related services are provided to the customers.
