IMPAIRMENT CHARGE AND PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR THE NEXT FISCAL QUARTER
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, May 23, 2006—Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE Symbol: “DY”) announced its results today for the third quarter ended April 29, 2006. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended April 29, 2006 of $6.5 million, or $0.16 per common share diluted, versus net income for the quarter ended April 30, 2005 of $13.7 million, or $0.28 per common share diluted. Included in the net loss for the quarter ended April 29, 2006 was a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $14.8 million (or $0.37 per common share diluted) related to the Company’s Can Am Communications subsidiary. Can Am was underperforming compared to expectations, increasing the uncertainty about its future cash flows. As a result, management recently implemented operational changes at Can Am which, together with Can Am’s underperformance, required the Company to perform an interim impairment test in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” resulting in the impairment charge. Excluding this item, non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended April 29, 2006 was $8.3 million, or $0.21 per common share diluted. Total contract revenues for the quarter ended April 29, 2006 were $258.7 million compared to total contract revenues of $247.7 million for the quarter ended April 30, 2005, an increase of 4.5%. Stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended April 29, 2006 and quarter ended April 30, 2005 was $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.
For the nine months ended April 29, 2006 net income was $8.1 million, or $0.19 per common share diluted. For the nine months ended April 30, 2005 net income was $36.7 million, or $0.75 per common share diluted. Included in the net income for the nine months ended April 29, 2006 was a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $14.8 million (or $0.35 per common share diluted) related to the Company’s Can Am Communications subsidiary. Excluding this item, non-GAAP net income for the nine months ended April 29, 2006 was $22.9 million, or $0.54 per common share diluted. Total contract revenues for the nine months ended April 29, 2006 were $763.7 million compared to total contract revenues of $735.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2005, an increase of 3.9%.
