Management Commentary

(All amounts are in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, unless otherwise stated)

“The third quarter financial results demonstrate the continued progress we are making on our strategic and operational initiatives, with improvement across all of our key financial measures, including consolidated revenues, adjusted EBITDA(A), adjusted operating EBIT(A) and free cash flow(B), excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange,” said Joseph Quarin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd.  “Organic growth of 2.2% was driven by strong consolidated pricing in our collection service lines and by higher transfer and disposal volumes, which in total turned positive this quarter.  Additionally, free cash flow(B) of $64.3 million, excluding internal infrastructure investments, and adjusted net income per share(A) of $0.36, were higher than we anticipated for the quarter.  Given this year-to-date performance, we are increasing our expectations for both of these measures compared to our prior 2014 guidance.”

“We continue to see results as we implement the key components of our strategic plan, including the conversion of our fleet to automated and compressed natural gas (“CNG”) trucks.  We look forward to a solid full-year performance which will establish a strong foundation for continued revenue growth and margin expansion in 2015.”

Mr. Quarin continued, “During the quarter we focused on strategic capital allocation and will continue to pursue initiatives such as the potential divestiture of certain assets in the U.S. northeast that will enable the Company to fully realize and redeploy the value of its assets.  We are confident that the advancement of our operating strategies, the focused management of our asset base and our commitment to generating maximum returns will enhance value for our shareholders.”

Three months ended September 30, 2014

Reported revenues increased $0.5million or 0.1% from $520.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $521.2million in the third quarter of 2014.  Expressed on a reportable basis and assuming a foreign currency exchange (“FX”) rate of parity between the Canadian and U.S. dollar (“FX parity”), revenues increased 2.0% due in large part to a 2.1% increase attributable to higher overall pricing and slightly higher volumes, 0.5%, partially offset by lower recycled commodity pricing, fuel surcharges and divestitures.

Operating income was $65.5 million in the third quarter of 2014 versus $50.8 million in the third quarter of 2013.    Net income was $40.8 million versus $20.1 million in the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Adjusted amounts

Adjusted EBITDA(A) was $139.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 versus $134.9 million posted in the same quarter a year ago.  Adjusted operating EBIT(A) was $68.3 million or 10.8% higher in the quarter compared to $61.6 million in the same period last year.  Adjusted net income(A) was $41.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $31.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share in the comparative period.

Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. – September 30, 2014 - 1

Nine months ended September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reported revenues decreased ($19.6)million or (1.3)% from $1,524.0 million in 2013 to $1,504.4million in 2014.  Expressed on a reportable basis and at FX parity, revenues increased 1.3% on a comparative basis.  The increase is due in large part to a 2.0% increase attributable to higher overall pricing partially offset by a slight decline in volumes, (0.5%).

For the nine months ended September 30, operating income was $184.9 million in 2014 versus $174.6 million in 2013.  Net income was $107.6 million versus $81.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Adjusted amounts

For the nine months ended September 30, adjusted EBITDA(A) was $384.6 million or (3.6)% lower in 2014 versus the $398.8 million posted in 2013.  Adjusted operating EBIT(A) was $190.7 million compared to the $187.0 million recorded last year.  Adjusted net income(A) was $113.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $93.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share in the same period last year.

Other highlights

· In October 2014, certain developments, including current local support for the development of the operating location necessary to execute the New York City long-term contract under the previous request for proposal, have made the likelihood of the award indeterminate at this time.  In light of these developments, we are required to test goodwill in the U.S. northeast for impairment.

Funded debt to EBITDA (as defined and calculated in accordance with our consolidated facility)

The ratio of funded debt to EBITDA is 2.83 times.

Foreign Currency

(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

We have elected to report our financial results in U.S. dollars.  However, we earn a significant portion of our revenues and income in Canada.  Based on our 2014 guidance outlook, if the U.S. dollar strengthens by one cent our reported revenues will decline by approximately $8,200.  EBITDA(A) is similarly impacted by approximately $2,500, assuming a strengthening U.S. dollar.  The impact on net income and free cash flow(B) for a similar change in FX rate, results in an approximately $1,100 and $900decline, respectively.  Should the U.S. dollar weaken by one cent, our reported revenues, EBITDA(A), net income and free cash flow(B) will improve by amounts similar to those outlined above as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar.

Quarterly dividend declared

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 Canadian per share to shareholders of record on December 31, 2014.  The dividend will be paid on January 15, 2015.  The Company has designated these dividends as eligible dividends for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Definitions

(A)All references to “Adjusted EBITDA” in this document are to revenues less operating expense and SG&A, excluding certain SG&A expenses, on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income or loss.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes some or all of the following: certain SG&A expenses, restructuring expenses, goodwill impairment, amortization, net gain or loss on sale of capital and landfill assets, interest on long-term debt, net foreign exchange gain or loss, net gain or loss on financial instruments, loss on extinguishment of debt, re-measurement gain on previously held equity investment, other expenses, income taxes and income or loss from equity accounted investee.  Adjusted EBITDA is a term used by us that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.  Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our operating profitability, and by definition, excludes certain items as detailed above.  These items are viewed by us as either non-cash (in the case of goodwill impairment, amortization, net gain or loss on financial instruments, net foreign exchange gain or loss, re-measurement gain on previously held equity investment, deferred income taxes and net income or loss from equity accounted investee) or non-operating (in the case of certain SG&A expenses, restructuring expenses, net gain or loss on sale of capital and landfill assets, interest on long-term debt, loss on extinguishment of debt, other expenses, and current income taxes).  Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial and operating metric for us, our Board of Directors, and our lenders, as it represents a starting point in the determination of free cash flow(B).  The underlying reasons for the exclusion of each item are as follows:

Certain SG&A expenses – SG&A expense includes certain non-operating or non-recurring expenses.  Non-operating expenses include transaction costs or recoveries related to acquisitions, fair value adjustments attributable to stock options and restricted share expense.  Non-recurring expenses include certain equity based compensation, payments made to certain senior management on their departure and other non-recurring expenses from time-to-time.   These expenses are not considered an expense indicative of continuing operations.  Certain SG&A costs represent a different class of expense than those included in adjusted EBITDA.

Restructuring expenses – restructuring expenses includes costs to integrate certain operating locations with our own, exiting certain property and building and office leases, employee severance and employee relocation costs all of which were incurred in connection with our acquisition of WSI.  These expenses are not considered an expense indicative of continuing operations.  Accordingly, restructuring expenses represent a different class of expense than those included in adjusted EBITDA.

Goodwill impairment – as a non-cash item goodwill impairment has no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

Amortization – as a non-cash item amortization has no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

Net gain or loss on sale of capital and landfill assets – proceeds from the sale of capital assets are either reinvested in additional or replacement capital assets or used to repay revolving credit facility borrowings.

Interest on long-term debt – interest on long-term debt reflects our debt/equity mix, interest rates and borrowing position from time to time.  Accordingly, interest on long-term debt reflects our treasury/financing activities and represents a different class of expense than those included in adjusted EBITDA.

Net foreign exchange gain or loss – as non-cash items, foreign exchange gains or losses have no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

Net gain or loss on financial instruments – as non-cash items, gains or losses on financial instruments have no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

Loss on extinguishment of debt – loss on extinguishment of debt is a function of our debt financing.  Accordingly, it reflects our treasury/financing activities and represents a different class of expense than those included in adjusted EBITDA.

Re-measurement gain on previously held equity investment – as a non-cash item, a re-measurement gain on previously held equity investment has no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

Other expenses – other expenses typically represent amounts paid to certain management of acquired companies who are retained by us post acquisition and amounts paid to certain executives in respect of acquisitions successfully completed.  These expenses are not considered an expense indicative of continuing operations.  Accordingly, other expenses represent a different class of expense than those included in adjusted EBITDA.

Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. – September 30, 2014 - 14

Income taxes – income taxes are a function of tax laws and rates and are affected by matters which are separate from our daily operations.

Net income or loss from equity accounted investee – as a non-cash item, net income or loss from our equity accounted investee has no impact on the determination of free cash flow(B) and is not indicative of our operating profitability.

All references to “Adjusted EBITA” in this document represent Adjusted EBITDA after deducting amortization of capital and landfill assets.  All references to “Adjusted operating income or adjusted operating EBIT” in this document represent Adjusted EBITDA after adjusting for net gain or loss on the sale of capital and landfill assets and all amortization expense, including amortization expense recognized on the impairment of intangible assets.  All references to “Adjusted net income” are to adjusted operating income after adjusting, as applicable, net gain or loss on financial instruments, re-measurement gain on previously held equity investment, loss on extinguishment of debt, other expenses and net income tax expense or recovery.

Adjusted EBITA, Adjusted operating income or adjusted operating EBIT and Adjusted net income should not be construed as measures of income or of cash flows.  Collectively, these terms do not have standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.  Each of these measures are important for investors and are used by management in the management of its business.  Adjusted operating income or adjusted operating EBIT removes the impact of a company’s capital structure and its tax rates when comparing the results of companies within or across industry sectors.  Management uses Adjusted operating EBIT as a measure of how its operations are performing and to focus attention on amortization and depreciation expense to drive higher returns on invested capital.  In addition, Adjusted operating EBIT is used by management as a means to measure the performance of its operating locations and is a significant metric in the determination of compensation for certain employees.  Adjusted EBITA accomplishes a similar comparative result as Adjusted operating EBIT, but further removes amortization attributable to intangible assets.  Intangible assets are measured at fair value when we complete an acquisition and amortized over their estimated useful lives.  We view capital and landfill asset amortization as a proxy for the amount of capital reinvestment required to continue operating our business steady state.  We believe that the replacement of intangible assets is not required to continue our operations as the costs associated with continuing operations are already captured in operating or selling, general and administration expenses.  Accordingly, we view Adjusted EBITA as a measure that eliminates the impact of a company’s acquisitive nature and permits a higher degree of comparability across companies within our industry or across different sectors from an operating performance perspective.  Finally, Adjusted net income is a measure of our overall earnings and profits and is further used to calculate our net income per share.  Adjusted net income reflects what we believe is our “operating” net income which excludes certain non-operating income or expenses.  Adjusted net income is an important measure of a company’s ability to generate profit and earnings for its shareholders which is used to compare company performance both amongst and between industry sectors.

 (B)We have adopted a measure called “free cash flow” to supplement net income or loss as a measure of our operating performance.  Free cash flow is a term which does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, is prepared before dividends declared and shares repurchased, and may not be comparable to similar measures prepared by other companies.  The purpose of presenting this non-GAAP measure is to provide disclosure similar to the disclosure provided by other U.S. publicly listed companies in our industry and to provide investors and analysts with an additional measure of our value and liquidity.  We use this non-GAAP measure to assess our performance relative to other U.S. publicly listed companies and to assess the availability of funds for growth investment, debt repayment, share repurchases or dividend increases.  All references to “free cash flow” in this document have the meaning set out in this note.

Guidance Outlook

Included in our press release for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, issued February 13, 2014, was our guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, including our 2014 outlook assumptions and factors.  On July 25, 2014, we refined our guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, which was included in our second quarter press release.  On October 30, 2014, we updated our guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, which was included in our third quarter press release.  All press releases are available at www.sec.gov and www.sedar.com.  Details of the changes to our assumptions and their impact on our 2014 guidance outlook are provided below.

Changes to assumptions and impact on 2014 guidance outlook

(All amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Revenues

Our full year revenue guidance range is unchanged, but we expect revenues to come in at the high end of our range due in large part to stronger than expected volume growth.  Our plan for 2014 contemplated a certain mix of revenues, and while we expect to achieve our revenue targets for 2014 we expected to have a higher contribution from higher margin commercial collection and disposal services rather than lower margin transfer station operations.  In addition, our 2014 plans didn’t contemplate the competitive disposal environment in our U.S. northeast operations, which resulted in lower landfill volumes as we maintained disciplined disposal pricing.

Adjusted EBITDA(A)

Our adjusted EBITDA(A) guidance range is also unchanged, but EBITDA(A) is expected to come in at the low end our range.  As noted in the revenue discussion above, revenue mix was a significant contributor to this outlook update, where lower margin revenues contributed more than we anticipated relative to higher margin commercial and landfill revenues.  Additionally, delays in the timing of vehicle receipts, relative to our original plan, were also a contributing factor to higher vehicle operating and repair and maintenance costs.  We also underperformed on our insurance and claims expectations for 2014.

Progressive Waste Solutions Ltd. – September 30, 2014 - 15

Amortization expense

Our updated outlook for amortization expense is lower than our original expectation of 14.2% of revenues.  Approximately 100 basis points of the approximately 300 basis point decline is due to our revenue expectation at the high end of the range.  The balance of change is due in large part to revenue mix, where transfer station revenues contributed more than we expected to consolidated revenues and landfills contributed less.  Higher landfill revenues are generally tied to higher volumes and as such attract an amortization charge for both the consumption of airspace and the recognition of additional asset retirement obligations.  Accordingly, we expect amortization expense to be approximately $4,000 lower than our original plan, which expressed net of our updated effective tax rate and on a per share basis, results in an approximately three cent per share improvement.

Effective tax rate

Our updated outlook calls for a lower effective tax rate.  Our original estimate of between 30 and 32% has been updated to between 23.5 and 24.5%.  The lower effective tax rate is a reflection of where we currently expect to generate income before tax in 2014 versus our original 2014 plan, the amount of taxable income we expect to generate in light of our updated revenue growth plans, lower withholding taxes, and lower tax base true-ups.  Accordingly, we expect lower income tax expense to represent an improvement of approximately eight cents to adjusted net income(A) per diluted share.

Cash taxes (expressed on an adjusted basis)

Our updated outlook anticipates lower overall cash taxes than originally forecast.  Slightly lower state taxes, due in part to our performance, and to lower state taxes than originally planned for, coupled with lower withholding tax expectations, are the primary reasons for the lower cash tax outlook.  The impact to adjusted net income(A) per diluted share resulting from lower cash tax expectations is captured above in the update to our effective tax rate discussion.

Adjusted net income per share(A)

Our update to adjusted net income per share(A) also includes an update in our expectations for gains and losses recognized on the sale of capital and landfill assets.  Gains realized on the Calgary buffer land sale, the sale of a transfer station in our U.S. northeast segment and gains recognized on other asset dispositions throughout the year, are higher than originally expected.  The improvement to adjusted net income(A) per diluted share is approximately eleven cents.

Free cash flow(B) and items impacting free cash flow(B)

We expect free cash flow(B) to be higher than originally predicted for 2014 due in large part to higher than anticipated proceeds recognized on asset sales.  Slightly lower than expected EBITDA(A), addressed above,  was offset by lower than expected capital and landfill expenditures, addressed below.  Lower expected cash taxes, addressed above, also contributed to higher than originally anticipated free cash flow(B).

Capital and landfill expenditures, excluding internal infrastructure investment

We anticipate that capital and landfill expenditures will be lower than originally expected for 2014.  The lower spending expectation reflects lower than predicted replacement expenditures, which we expect will come in at slightly over 8% of revenues in 2014 compared to the 10% originally forecast in our 2014 plan.  Partially offsetting the decline in replacement capital spending is higher than planned growth spending.  Growth spending for organic volume growth, most notably in our U.S. south segment, outpaced our expectations for 2014.

Other assumptions and factors

All other assumptions and factors remain unchanged and are consistent with those outlined in our February 13, 2014 press releases.
