FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Results

  • Revenues in the first quarter were $664.9 million compared to $684.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to divestitures of $17.7 million, which was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates of $2.8 million and an acquisition of $0.9 million. Organic revenues in RWCS grew $9.0 million, while Secure Information Destruction (“SID”) organic revenues were lower by $14.4 million. The decline in SID was mainly due to lower commodity-indexed revenues of $19.8 million, which was partially offset by higher SID service revenues of $5.4 million, excluding the impact of fuel and environmental surcharges.
  • Income from operations in the first quarter was $38.9 million compared to $40.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The $1.1 million decrease was mainly due to lower SID commodity-indexed revenues and the corresponding margin flow through impact of $11.9 million, higher adjusting items of $6.9 million, and higher bad debt expense of $3.8 million, primarily due to a lower first quarter of 2023 bad debt expense level as a result of improved North America SID collections. These decreases were mostly offset by cost savings and margin flow through of $14.8 million and lower incentive and stock-based compensation of $5.5 million.
  • Net income in the first quarter was $13.1 million, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, compared to $11.2 million, or $0.12 in the first quarter of 2023. The $1.9 million increase was primarily attributable to lower interest expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by lower income from operations, as explained above.
  • Cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was an outflow of $54.5 million, compared to an inflow of $49.5 million in the same period of 2023. The year-over-year decrease of $104.0 million was mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable, net of deferred revenues of $63.1 million due to expected billing and collection delays from the prior U.S. RWCS ERP launch in September 2023; higher annual incentive plan payments of $17.1 million; and other net working capital changes of $23.8 million.
  • Cash paid for capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $43.1 million, compared to $36.4 million in the same period of 2023.

Non-GAAP Results1,2

  • For the first quarter of 2024, organic revenues1 decreased 0.8%, which excludes the impacts of divestitures, an acquisition, and foreign exchange rates. RWCS organic revenues1 increased 2.1% while SID organic revenues1 decreased 6.3%. The decline in SID was mainly due to lower commodity-indexed revenues of 8.6%, which was partially offset by higher SID service revenues of 2.3%, excluding the impact of fuel and environmental surcharges.
  • Adjusted income from operations1 was $90.5 million compared to $84.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. As a percentage of revenues, the 120 basis point increase was mainly due to cost savings and margin flow through of 230 basis points, lower incentive and stock-based compensation of 80 basis points, and the impact of divesting lower margin businesses of 40 basis points. This increase was partially offset by lower SID commodity-indexed revenues and the corresponding margin flow through impact of 180 basis points and higher bad debt expense of 60 basis points, as explained above.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was $0.57, compared to $0.49 in the first quarter of 2023. Excluding the impacts of divesting lower margin businesses of $0.01, the remaining $0.07 increase was mainly due to cost savings and margin flow through of $0.11; lower taxes, interest, and other of $0.04; and lower incentive and stock-based compensation of $0.04. This increase was partially offset by lower SID commodity indexed revenues and the corresponding margin flow through impact of $0.09 and higher bad debt expense of $0.03, as explained above.
  • Free cash flow2 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was an outflow of $97.6 million compared to an inflow of $13.1 million in the same period of 2023. The $110.7 million decrease was primarily due to lower cash flow from operations of $104.0 million, as explained above, and increased cash paid for capital expenditures of $6.7 million.

(1)Components of Change (%) in summation may not crossfoot to the total Change (%) due to rounding.
(2)Organic growth is change in Revenues which includes SOP pricing and volume and excludes impacts of divestitures, an acquisition, and foreign exchange rates.
(3)The comparisons at constant currency rates (foreign exchange) reflect comparative local currency balances at prior period’s foreign exchange rates. Stericycle calculated these percentages by taking current period reported Revenues less the respective prior period reported Revenues, divided by the prior period reported Revenues, all at the respective prior period’s foreign exchange rates. This measure provides information on the change in Revenues assuming that foreign currency exchange rates have not changed between the prior and the current period. Management believes this measure aids in the understanding of changes in Revenues without the impact of foreign currency.

Additionally, 2023 includes a value-added tax reclaim credit of $6.0 million.
  6. Non-Cash Related Adjustments: In 2024 and 2023, non-cash related adjustments include $28.7 million and $33.1 million, respectively, consisting of intangible amortization, portfolio optimization, and asset impairment items.
  1. The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release are reconciled to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the schedules attached to this release. Management believes the Non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of Stericycle’s performance because they provide additional information about Stericycle’s operations and exclude certain adjusting items, allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release may not be calculated in the same manner as certain other Non-GAAP financial measures and are used solely to evaluate management’s performance for incentive compensation purposes. All Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to or calculated in the same manner as Non-GAAP financial measures published by other companies.
  2. Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is Income from operations excluding certain adjusting items, depreciation and intangible amortization.
  3. Under the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders column, adjustments are shown net of tax in aggregate of $11.6 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, based on applying the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the adjustment occurred or, by adjusting the tax effect to consider the impact of applying an annual effective tax rate on an interim basis. For purposes of reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share with respect to taxes period-over-period, the company utilizes a “rate approach” to highlight the impact of the adjusted tax rate. It is computed by multiplying the prior period adjusted rate by the current period adjusted income before taxes to determine the expected tax expense. Such expected tax expense is then compared to actual tax expense. Expected tax in excess of actual tax variance is favorable; actual tax in excess of expected tax variance is unfavorable. The variance divided by diluted shares outstanding at the end of the period yields the impact on earnings per share. Management believes the use of this measure best aids in explaining the impact of a changing tax rate.
