Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 17, 2009, Dycom Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and announcing that the Company expects to discontinue providing detailed guidance of revenue and earnings expectations when it announces its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. As described in the press release, the Company will host a conference call for investors to discuss its financial results for the three months ended January 24, 2009 on February 17, 2009.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 2.02 by reference.

Item 2.06 Material Impairments
On February 17, 2009, the Company issued a press release reporting its preliminary results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. In the release the Company stated that it expected to incur a non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the quarter. This charge results from an interim test for impairment prompted by a sustained reduction in the Company’s market capitalization compared to the book value of shareholders’ equity. The interim testing included a reassessment of a number of valuation assumptions, including customer spending in the current economic environment. The Company is in the process of completing its impairment analysis and the charge is expected to be between $85 and $105 million on a pre-tax basis. This range is based on management’s best estimates at this time and the actual charge will be determined upon completion of its impairment analysis. This charge will not affect the Company's operating cash flow.
