           -----------         -----------
           12.1                Press release of Dycom Industries, Inc. issued
                               on February 23, 2004.

           12.2                Transscript of Dycom Industries, Inc. conference
                               call to review the company's results and address
                               its outlook, which took place on February 24,
                               2004.

Item 12.   Results of Operations and Financial Condition

           On February 23, 2004, Dycom Industries, Inc. ("Dycom")issued a press
release with respect to its conference call to be held on February 24, 2004. The
press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 12.1 and is incorporated in its
entirety by reference herein.

           On February 24, 2004, Dycom held a tele-conference call to review its
results and to address its outlook.

           In calculating days sales outstanding ("DSO"), Dycom has excluded
amounts related to UtiliQuest Holdings Corp. ("UtiliQuest") and First South
Utility Construction, Inc. ("First South"). Dycom believes that the presentation
of DSO for the quarter ended January 24, 2004, excluding the revenues and
receivables attributable to UtiliQuest and First South, provides more useful
information to investors. The consolidated receivable balance at January 24,
2004, includes receivables of UtiliQuest and First South, some of which were
generated from operations that took place prior to their respective
acquisitions. However, Dycom's consolidated revenues for the quarter include
UtiliQuest and First South only from the date of their respective acquisitions.
Therefore, Dycom believes that calculations of DSO for the quarter excluding the
receivables and revenues attributable to UtiliQuest and First South provides a
better indication of performance for the quarter ended January 24, 2004.

           In addition to presenting net income and earnings per share, Dycom
has presented net income and earnings per share excluding the adjustment for
gain on sale of long term accounts receivable. Dycom believes that the
information presented, excluding this one time gain, is beneficial to investors
because it depicts the results of recurring operations excluding the effects of
the sale of accounts receivable that is not a regular part of Dycom's business.
