What drove it
- Communications demand was supported by fiber-to-the-home programs, long-haul and middle-mile fiber infrastructure builds, and maintenance and operations services.
- Building Systems benefited from strong operational execution, increased operating leverage, and favorable changes in cost estimates on projects and scope of services.
- The Company completed the acquisition of National Technology Integrators during the second quarter of fiscal 2027. The acquired business contributed approximately $22.9 million of revenue during the quarter.

- Communications backlog was $10,983 million and Building Systems backlog was $1,259 million at August 1, 2026.
Concerns
- Communications non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 134 bps year over year to 13.6%.
- The Communications margin decline reflected higher investments to scale operations, operating leverage impacts from wireless projects deferred into next year, and higher fuel prices year over year.
- The full-year Communications outlook reflects the deferral of approximately $150 million of wireless program revenues into fiscal 2028.
- Interest expense, net was $38.0 million in the quarter, compared with $15.6 million in the prior-year quarter.
- Cash and equivalents declined to $340,080 thousand at August 1, 2026 from $709,165 thousand at January 31, 2026.
What to watch
- Execution against third-quarter contract revenue guidance of $1.90 billion to $1.98 billion and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $281 million to $302 million.
- Whether Communications can manage the stated slight full-year non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin decline amid scaling investments, higher fuel prices, and deferred wireless revenue.
- Building Systems revenue delivery against the $1.58 billion to $1.65 billion full-year outlook and its expected high-teens to low-twenties adjusted EBITDA margin for the remainder of fiscal 2027.
- Integration and revenue contribution from National Technology Integrators and the Building Systems opportunity set.
- Conversion of the $12,242 million total backlog, including $6,472 million expected in the next 12 months.

Analysis
Dycom reported record second-quarter contract revenues of $2.006 billion, up 45.6% from $1.378 billion, while non-GAAP organic contract revenue growth was 16.7%. GAAP net income increased 18.6% to $115.6 million and diluted EPS increased 14.4% to $3.81. On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted Net Income rose 51.1% to $160.7 million, Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 45.3% to $5.29, and Adjusted EBITDA rose 53.5% to $315.5 million.
The revenue mix changed materially with Building Systems contributing $397.5 million of quarterly contract revenues and $97.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Its 24.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin was supported by operational execution, operating leverage, and favorable cost-estimate and scope changes. Communications generated $1.608 billion of revenue and $218.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Communications organic growth came from fiber-to-the-home, long-haul and middle-mile construction, and maintenance and operations work.
The principal margin pressure was in Communications, where Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 134 bps year over year to 13.6%. Management attributed the reduction to investments to scale operations, the effect on operating leverage from wireless work deferred into next year, and higher year-over-year fuel prices. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin nevertheless increased 81 bps to 15.7%, reflecting the Building Systems contribution and margin profile.
The acquisition of National Technology Integrators closed in the quarter and contributed approximately $22.9 million of revenue. Total backlog reached $12.242 billion, up 53.2% year over year, with $6.472 billion expected in the next 12 months. Communications backlog was $10.983 billion and Building Systems backlog was $1.259 billion, providing disclosed visibility across both operating segments.
Management raised its fiscal 2027 outlook to contract revenues of $7.48 billion to $7.66 billion, including $5.90 billion to $6.01 billion in Communications and $1.58 billion to $1.65 billion in Building Systems. The guide incorporates approximately $150 million of Communications wireless-program revenue deferred into fiscal 2028, while management stated that overall program scope is unchanged. The Company expects consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to increase for the year, despite a slight expected Communications margin decline, and guided third-quarter Adjusted EBITDA to $281 million to $302 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS, excluding amortization expense, to $4.33 to $4.79.
