DYCOM ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2009 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, February 24, 2009 — Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced today its results for the second quarter ended January 24, 2009. The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 24, 2009 of ($78.3) million, or ($1.99) per common share, versus a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 26, 2008 of ($3.1) million, or ($0.08) per common share. Total contract revenues from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 24, 2009 were $245.5 million compared to $284.8 million for the quarter ended January 26, 2008, a decrease of 13.8%.
For the quarter ended January 24, 2009, loss from continuing operations included a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.3 million related to the buyback of $4.65 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior subordinated notes due 2015 and a preliminary goodwill impairment charge of $96.8 million. This pre-tax impairment charge is the result of 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 impairment testing includes a reassessment of a number of valuation assumptions, including customer spending in the current economic environment. The Company expects to complete its impairment analysis in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. For the quarter ended January 26, 2008, loss from continuing operations included a pre-tax $7.6 million charge related to the settlement of a wage and hour class action. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the aforementioned items, loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended January 24, 2009 was ($1.7) million, or ($0.04) per common share, versus income from continuing operations of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended January 26, 2008. See the attached tables which present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
For the six months ended January 24, 2009, loss from continuing operations was ($67.8) million, or ($1.72) per common share, versus income from continuing operations for the six months ended January 26, 2008 of $12.1 million, or $0.30 per common share diluted. Total contract revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended January 24, 2009 were $579.5 million compared to $614.4 million for the six months ended January 26, 2008, a decrease of 5.7%.
For the six months ended January 24, 2009, loss from continuing operations included the pre-tax gain of approximately $1.3 million and the pre-tax goodwill impairment charge referred to above in addition to a write-off of $0.6 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the replacement of the Company’s credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. For the six months ended January 26, 2008, income from continuing operations included the $7.6 million pre-tax charge related to the settlement of the wage and hour class action referred to above. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the aforementioned items, income from continuing operations for the six months ended January 24, 2009 was $9.2 million, or $0.23 per common share diluted, versus income from continuing operations of $16.7 million, or $0.41 per common share diluted, for the six months ended January 26, 2008. See the attached tables which present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
