Exhibit 99.2 [Dycom Industries, Inc. logo] [letterhead] N E W S R E L E A S E FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Steven E. Nielsen, President and CEO - --------------------- Richard L. Dunn, Senior Vice President and CFO (561) 627-7171 Palm Beach Gardens, Florida June 2, 2003 DYCOM ANNOUNCES FISCAL 2003 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS AND PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR THE NEXT TWO FISCAL QUARTERS Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, June 2, 2003--Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE Symbol: "DY") announced its results today for the third quarter ended April 26, 2003. The Company reported net income for the quarter ended April 26, 2003 of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per common share diluted, on total contract revenues of $139.7 million versus contract revenues of $169.8 million for the quarter ended April 27, 2002. This represents a year over year decrease of 17.7% in total contract revenues. On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, Dycom's reported net income for the quarter ended April 27, 2002 was $7.7 million, or $0.17 per common share. Earnings per common share for the period ending April 27, 2002, excluding a nonrecurring gain of $0.02 per common share due to the settlement of a federal employment tax issue relating to prior years, was $0.15 per common share. For the nine months ended April 26, 2003 net income was $5.8 million, or $0.12 per common share. On a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, Dycom's reported net loss for the nine months ended April 27, 2002 was $66.2 million, or $1.50 per common share. Net income for the nine-month period ending April 27, 2002, excluding a nonrecurring gain of $0.02 per common share due to the settlement of a federal employment tax issue relating to prior years and the $1.97 per common share charge for the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No.142 relating to the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets, was $19.8 million, or $0.45 per common share. In evaluating the operating performance of its business for the three and nine month periods ended April 27, 2002, Dycom's management excluded certain gains and charges that are required by GAAP. The Company believes that presentation of net income and earnings per share excluding these items is beneficial to investors due to their unusual nature. Please see attached table for reconciliation of these financial measures to GAAP. Dycom also announced its outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company currently expects revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 to range from $150.0 million to $165.0 million and earnings per share to range from $0.15 to $0.20. For the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company currently expects revenue to range from $150.0 million to $165.0 million and earnings per share to range from $0.16 to $0.21.

SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and instead requires that goodwill be tested for impairment. Because we adopted these statements effective with the beginning of fiscal 2002, we do not have goodwill amortization in either year. NYSE: "DY" DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC.
