Strong Financial Performance:
- reported revenue of $1.259 billion for Q1, a 10.2% increase over Q1 2025, with adjusted EBITDA at $150.4 million, up 14.9% over Q1 2025.
- The growth was driven by increased fiber-to-the-home deployments, wireless activity, and higher maintenance and operations services.
Record Backlog and Diversification:
- Dycom's record backlog reached $8.1 billion, including $4.7 billion of next 12-month backlog.

Wireless Activity and Acquisition Impact:
- Dycom's wireless equipment replacement work, both organic and from the acquisition last year, exceeded expectations, contributing significantly to Q1 performance.

Service and Maintenance Business Growth:
- Dycom's service and maintenance business has grown significantly, providing consistency and stability in revenue streams.
