WASTE CONNECTIONS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS AND RAISES FULL YEAR OUTLOOK


 

TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2022 /CNW/ -- Waste Connections, Inc. (TSX/NYSE: WCN) ("Waste Connections" or the "Company") today announced its results for the second quarter of 2022 and updated its outlook for 2022. 

"Accelerating solid waste pricing and E&P waste activity drove a top-to-bottom beat in the period.  Solid waste pricing growth of 8.8% enabled us to overcome increased inflationary pressures during the period and deliver adjusted EBITDA(b) margin in line with our outlook for Q2 and flat on a year over year basis excluding the margin dilutive impact from acquisitions completed since the year ago period," said Worthing F. Jackman, President and Chief Executive Officer. 

"Our outperformance in the first half of 2022, expected further sequential increases in solid waste pricing growth, continuing strength in E&P waste activity, and acquisitions closed year to date, position us to update our outlook for the full year to revenue of approximately $7.125 billion, adjusted EBITDA(b) of approximately $2.190 billion and adjusted free cash flow(b) of approximately $1.160 billion, exceeding our initial outlook as provided in February and another reflection of our culture of accountability in a challenging operating environment."

Mr. Jackman added, "As anticipated, acquisition activity is pacing well above average.  We have closed approximately $245 million in annualized revenues, with another approximately $225 million in total annualized revenue under definitive agreements expected to close during the third quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, and our pipeline remains quite robust.  As such, we believe we are well-positioned for double digit revenue growth in 2023 along with margin expansion from continuing solid waste pricing strength and rollover contribution from acquisitions already signed or closed year to date; additional acquisitions expected to close later this year and early next year would provide further growth." 

Q2 2022 Results

Revenue in the second quarter totaled $1.816 billion, up from $1.534 billion in the year ago period.  Operating income was $329.6 million, which included $6.8 million primarily in impairments and other operating items.  This compares to operating income of $266.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, which included $12.5 million primarily related to fair value accounting changes to equity awards.  Net income in the second quarter was $224.1 million, or $0.87 per share on a diluted basis of 257.7 million shares.  In the year ago period, the Company reported net income of $177.0 million, or $0.68 per share on a diluted basis of 261.4 million shares. 

Adjusted net income(b) in the second quarter was $257.1 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, versus $210.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the prior year period.  Adjusted EBITDA(b) in the second quarter was $566.8 million, as compared to $484.9 million in the prior year period.  Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP measures, primarily exclude impairments and acquisition-related items, as reflected in the detailed reconciliations in the attached tables.

Six Months Year to Date Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue was $3.463 billion, up from $2.930 billion in the year ago period.  Operating income, which included $13.4 million primarily attributable to transaction-related expenses, was $603.4 million, as compared to operating income of $505.2 million in 2021, which included $14.0 million primarily related to fair value changes in equity awards.   

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $404.4 million, or $1.57 per share on a diluted basis of 258.1 million shares.  In the year ago period, the Company reported net income of $337.4 million, or $1.29 per share on a diluted basis of 262.3 million shares. 

Adjusted net income(b) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $470.6 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, compared to $396.3 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the year ago period. Adjusted EBITDA(b) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.069  billion, as compared to $918.1 million in the prior year period. 

Updated 2022 Outlook

Waste Connections also updated its outlook for 2022, which assumes no change in the current economic environment or underlying economic trends.  The Company's outlook excludes any impact from additional acquisitions that may close during the year, and expensing of transaction-related items.  The outlook provided below is forward looking, and actual results may differ materially depending on risks and uncertainties detailed at the end of this release and in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. Certain components of the outlook for 2022 are subject to quarterly fluctuations.  See reconciliations in the attached tables.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Waste Connections views its Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") efforts as integral to its business, with initiatives consistent with its objective of long-term value creation.  In 2020, the Company introduced long-term, aspirational ESG targets and committed over $500 million for investments to meet or exceed such sustainability targets. These investments primarily focus on reducing emissions, increasing resource recovery of both recyclable commodities and clean energy fuels, reducing reliance on off-site disposal for landfill leachate, further improving safety through reduced incidents and enhancing employee engagement through improved voluntary turnover and Servant Leadership scores.  The Company's 2021 Sustainability Report provides progress updates on its targets and investments towards their achievement.  For more information, visit the Waste Connections website at wasteconnections.com/sustainability.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA:


























Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a
performance and valuation measure in the solid waste industry.  Management uses adjusted EBITDA as one of the principal measures
to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of Waste Connections' operations.  Waste Connections defines adjusted
EBITDA as net income attributable to Waste Connections, plus or minus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests,
plus income tax provision, plus interest expense, less interest income, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus closure and
post-closure accretion expense, plus or minus any loss or gain on impairments and other operating items, plus other expense, less
other income.  Waste Connections further adjusts this calculation to exclude the effects of other items management believes impact
the ability to assess the operating performance of its business.  This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction
with, GAAP financial measures.  Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently.

Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a
valuation and liquidity measure in the solid waste industry.  Management uses adjusted free cash flow as one of the principal
measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of Waste Connections' operations.  Waste Connections defines
adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, plus or minus change in book overdraft, plus proceeds from
disposal of assets, less capital expenditures for property and equipment and distributions to noncontrolling interests.  Waste
Connections further adjusts this calculation to exclude the effects of items management believes impact the ability to assess the
operating performance of its business.  This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP liquidity
or financial measures.  Other companies may calculate adjusted free cash flow differently.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income attributable to Waste Connections and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share attributable
to Waste Connections:















Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections and adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Waste Connections,
both non-GAAP financial measures, are provided supplementally because they are widely used by investors as a valuation measure
in the solid waste industry.  Management uses adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections and adjusted net income per
diluted share attributable to Waste Connections as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial
performance of Waste Connections' operations.  Waste Connections provides adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections
to exclude the effects of items management believes impact the comparability of operating results between periods.  Adjusted net
income attributable to Waste Connections has limitations due to the fact that it excludes items that have an impact on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.  Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections and adjusted net income per
diluted share attributable to Waste Connections are not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial
measures.  Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently.
