H o m e s w it h F ib e r P a ss in g s (a ) (i n M il li o n s) Key Driver: Fiber to the Home Deployments 9 Increasing consumer demand for bandwidth continues to drive fiber deployments • Private capital estimated to fund fiber deployments that ultimately address 75% to 80% of homes in the U.S.; certain urban and suburban markets likely to have two or more service providers • Federal and state government programs providing capital for the construction of communications networks in unserved and underserved areas across the country estimated to address the ~30 million rural homes previously not in reach (a) Total addressable fiber passings are based on an estimate of 140 million total U.S. households (FBA 2023) 140 110 70 Addressable Homes – Urban & Suburban Addressable Homes – Rural We're also going to talk about our acceleration on Fios. We think that's a great opportunity for us to do that this moment. We will, as we have closed the Frontier acquisition, have more than 30 million passings, fiber passing, and we'll also see a clear path of somewhat of 35 million to 40 million passings after Frontier and what we're doing ourselves. “ ” - Hans Vestberg, CEO Verizon – October 2024
Key Driver: Fiber to the Home Deployments (continued) 10 Massive fiber investment presents significant opportunities for sustained growth Analyst research indicates the number of homes passed with fiber will exceed 10 million in 2025 and remain at this rate for several years Fiber capex continues to increase as rural subsidized opportunities grow from both state and federally funded programs As we've stated before, the better-than-expected returns we're seeing on our fiber investment, potentially expand our opportunity to go beyond our initial build target by roughly 10 million to 15 million additional locations. We look forward to providing you with a more detailed update on our plans for expanding the reach of AT&T Fiber during our Analyst and Investor Day on December 3. “ ” - Pascal Desroches, CFO AT&T – October 2024 Telco Passings as a % of U.S. Households We Estimate Fiber Capex Reaches $30B+/Year by 2027 ($MMs) Source: Wells Fargo Equity Research, “DY: Outlook Remains Constructive as Fiber Sentiment Improves; Raising PT”, 25 February 2024 © Wells Fargo 2024 Source: UBS Global Research and Evidence Lab Broadband Roundup August 12, 2024.

Key Driver: Increased Fiber Capacity for Artificial Intelligence (AI) 11 AI data centers driving demand for broad new national deployments of high-capacity, low latency intercity networks and metro fiber rings • Hyperscalers may serve as a new source of capital to our industry for the dramatic expansion of intercity fiber networks, the first significant expansion of that portion of the nation's network in approximately 25 years • Industry discussions also suggest that the importance of low latency to AI as it moves from training to inference will create an opportunity around moving data centers closer to the edge of the network; the trend to the edge may well increase metro fiber ring deployments and enhancements • Recent announcements from Lumen, Microsoft and Corning regarding multi-billion dollar strategic partnerships and fiber supply agreements evidence the demand for connectivity fueled by AI
Key Driver: Wireless Deployments 12 Wireless construction activity in support of newly available spectrum bands and fixed wireless access continues this year • Wireless networks are deploying additional spectrum bands and equipment to more broadly and efficiently provision higher broadband services for both fixed and mobile access • Emerging wireless technologies driving significant wireline deployments • Wireline deployments are the foundational element of what is expected to be a decades long deployment of fully converged wireless/wireline networks that will enable high bandwidth, low latency 5G applications …in some of our big markets where we have fiber, our wireless market share is 500 basis points or 5% better than if we don't have fiber. So, we can cross-sell mobility to our Frontier base when we close it, to our new cohorts of fiber that are coming in, but also customers who have access to fiber, but don't have fiber today, we'll be able to cross-sell them. So, two revenue upside opportunity for us as we build out our converged offering. - Sowmyanarayan Sampath, CEO of Consumer Group Verizon – October 2024 ” “

Questions and Answers
26 This slide was used on November 20, 2024 in connection with the Company’s conference call for its fiscal 2025 third quarter results. This information is provided for your reference only and should not be interpreted as a reiteration of these projections by the Company at any time after the date originally provided. Reference is made to slide 2 titled “Important Information” with respect to these slides. The information and statements contained in this slide that are forward-looking are based on information that was available at the time the slide was initially prepared and/or management’s good faith belief at that time with respect to future events. Except as required by law, the Company may not update forward-looking statements even though its situation may change in the future. For a full copy of the conference call materials, including the conference call transcript, see the Company’s Form 8-Ks filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2024.
Notes 27 1. The Company’s backlog represents an estimate of services to be performed pursuant to master service agreements and other contractual 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 procurement 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 believes 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 relationships. 2. Organic growth (decline) % from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration services and certain non-recurring items. When applicable, storm restoration revenues from acquired businesses are presented as revenues from storm restoration services in the calculation of organic growth (decline) %. 3. The impacts of a change order and the closeout of several projects increased contract revenues by $26.5 million for Q3 2024. After the impacts of certain other costs, these items contributed $23.6 million to Adjusted EBITDA for the Q3 2024 and fiscal year 2024. As a result, reported Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of contract revenues was increased by 1.8% and 0.5% for Q3 2024 and fiscal year 2024, respectively. On an after-tax basis, these items contributed approximately $17.5 million to reported net income, or $0.59 per common share diluted for Q3 2024 and fiscal year 2024. The impacts of these items are excluded from Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA %, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share in this presentation. Additionally, the impacts of these items are excluded from the Q3 2025 Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Growth % for the purpose of comparing to Q3 2024. 4. In fiscal 2022, the Company excluded certain tax impacts from the vesting and exercise of share-based awards when calculating Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income. For comparability to other companies in the industry, the Company no longer excludes these tax impacts from its Non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. 5. As of both Q2 2025 and Q3 2025, the Company had $47.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. 6. 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. 7. 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 over the period for which the related services are provided to the customers.
