Monitor this Company

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Aug. 26 /-/ -- Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced its results today for the fourth quarter ended July 26, 2008. The Company reported income from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 26, 2008 on a non-GAAP basis of $9.1 million, or $0.23 per common share diluted. This excludes a non-cash impairment charge of $9.7 million resulting from the Company's annual goodwill impairment test and a reduction of interest and income tax expense of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the reversal of certain income tax related liabilities. The combined effect of these items was to decrease income from continuing operations by $4.5 million, net of tax, or $0.11 per common share diluted, for the quarter ended July 26, 2008. On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 26, 2008 was $4.6 million, or $0.12 per common share diluted, versus income from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 28, 2007 of $14.5 million, or $0.35 per common share diluted. See the attached tables which present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Total contract revenues for the quarter ended July 26, 2008 were $322.1 million compared to total contract revenues of $317.3 million for the quarter ended July 28, 2007, an increase of 1.5%. Stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended July 26, 2008 and quarter ended July 28, 2007 was $0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.

    For the year ended July 26, 2008, income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis was $31.4 million, or $0.77 per common share diluted. This excludes the non-cash goodwill impairment charge and reductions in interest and income tax expense, an accrual related to the previously announced wage and hour class action settlement and the reversal of a pre-acquisition payroll related accrual for the year ended July 26, 2008. On a combined basis, these items decreased income from continuing operations $7.0 million, net of tax, or $0.17 per common share diluted, for the year ended July 26, 2008. For the year ended July 28, 2007, income from continuing operations on a non-GAAP basis was $40.7 million, or $1.00 per common share diluted, excluding a gain on sale of real estate of $1.5 million net of tax, or $0.04 per common share diluted. On a GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for the year ended July 26, 2008 was $24.4 million, or $0.60 per common share diluted, compared to income from continuing operations of $42.2 million, or $1.04 per common share diluted, for the year ended July 28, 2007. See the attached tables which present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Total contract revenues from continuing operations for the year ended July 26, 2008 were $1.230 billion compared to total contract revenues from continuing operations of $1.138 billion for the year ended July 28, 2007, an increase of 8.1%. Stock-based compensation expense for the year ended July 26, 2008 and the year ended July 28, 2007 was $5.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, on a pre-tax basis.

    Net income, including the results of discontinued operations, for the quarter ended July 26, 2008 was $3.1 million, or $0.08 per common share diluted, compared to $14.3 million, or $0.35 per common share diluted for the quarter ended July 28, 2007. Net income, including the results of discontinued operations, for the year ended July 26, 2008 was $21.7 million, or $0.53 per common share diluted, compared to $41.9 million, or $1.03 per common share diluted, for the year ended July 28, 2007.
