Collection and Disposal Income from Operations Grows 3.4%
HOUSTON — July 26, 2012 — Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) today announced financial results for its quarter ended June 30, 2012. Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $3.46 billion compared with $3.35 billion for the same 2011 period. Net income (a) for the quarter was $208 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $237 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011. Results in the second quarter of 2012 included approximately $32 million of after-tax costs related to a number of items not indicative of the results of operations. Excluding these items, net income would have been $240 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.(b) The $32 million of after-tax costs consisted of the following:
• Charges totaling $26 million primarily related to asset impairments and restructuring charges; and
• Approximately $6 million charge related to the partial withdrawal from a Teamsters’ multiemployer pension plan.
David P. Steiner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Waste Management, commented, “We had a very solid second quarter as we grew both our revenue and adjusted net income. Our core solid waste operations continue to perform well, and margins in our core businesses improved by 60 basis points.
“The improvement in our core collection and disposal business partially offset $0.07 per diluted share of headwinds, primarily related to commodities. Our original guidance contemplated only $0.04 of headwinds from those items in the second quarter. Earnings from our recycling and waste-to-energy operations were each $0.03 per diluted share lower in the second quarter compared to the same quarter last year. We also had a negative $0.01 per diluted share effect due to an under-recovery of our fuel surcharge.”
KEY HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2012
• Revenue increased by 3.3%, or $112 million.
• Internal revenue growth from yield for collection and disposal operations was 0.6%. Adjusting for contract changes related to the Company’s South Florida waste-to-energy plants, internal revenue growth from yield for collection and disposal operations was 1.0%. Core price increases, which consist of price increases and fees (other than our fuel surcharge), net of rollbacks, were 2.8%.
• Internal revenue growth from volume was 0.6%.
• Average recycling commodity prices were approximately 20% lower in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the prior year period. Recycling operations had a negative $0.03 effect on the current year quarter diluted earnings per share compared to the same quarter last year.
• Electricity prices, which affect the Company’s waste-to-energy plants, were 10% lower in the quarter compared with the prior year period. Waste-to-energy operations had a negative $0.03 effect on the current year quarter diluted earnings per share compared to the same quarter last year. |
| • | Operating expenses increased by $120 million. The majority of the increase relates to subcontractor costs associated with the Company’s Oakleaf operations and increased labor costs. |
| • | SG&A expenses decreased by $8 million compared with the second quarter of 2011. As a percent of revenue, SG&A expenses improved 60 basis points to 10.8%. |
| • | Net cash provided by operating activities was $669 million; capital expenditures were $351 million; and free cash flow was $332 million.(b) |
| • | The Company returned $165 million to shareholders in the form of dividends. |
| • | The effective tax rate was 34.3%. |
Steiner concluded, “I am pleased that our core solid waste business has grown and margins have continued to improve through the first half of the year. This has helped us grow adjusted diluted earnings per share year-over-year despite the $0.03 of higher than anticipated headwinds.
“At the beginning of the year we anticipated that our recycling and waste-to-energy headwinds would abate and become tailwinds in the second half of the year as commodity prices improved. Unfortunately, we now expect commodity prices to continue to weaken slightly in the second half of the year. We had three cents of unexpected headwinds this quarter and we now expect an additional $0.07 of headwinds in the second half of the year. So we have become more cautious on our full-year guidance, which we now see as between $2.15 to $2.20 per diluted share, based upon $0.07 of headwinds from recycling and waste-to-energy in the second half of the year. If commodity prices have a different effect on second half earnings than our predicted $0.07 per share, we would adjust for the difference, negative or positive, to better reflect how we performed versus our current expectations.
“Free cash flow was strong during the quarter, and we have begun the process of selling selected non-core assets. With continued strong cash flow and the consummation of sales of selected assets, we still expect to generate between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion of free cash flow for the year.” (b)
| (a) | For purposes of this press release, all references to “Net income” refer to the financial statement line item “Net income attributable to Waste Management, Inc.” |
| (b) | This earnings release contains a discussion of non-GAAP measures, as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company reports its financial results in compliance with GAAP, but believes that also discussing non-GAAP measures provides investors with (i) additional, meaningful comparisons of current results to prior periods’ results by excluding items that the Company does not believe reflect its fundamental business performance and are not representative or indicative of our results of operations and (ii) financial measures the Company uses in the management of its business. Accordingly, net income and earnings per diluted share have been presented in certain instances excluding special items noted in this press release. |
The Company’s projected full year 2012 earnings of $2.15 to $2.20 per diluted share are not GAAP net earnings per diluted share and are anticipated to be adjusted to exclude the effects of events or circumstances in 2012 that are not representative or indicative of the Company’s results of operations. Projected GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full year would require inclusion of the projected impact of future excluded items, including items that are not currently determinable, but may be significant, such as asset impairments and one-time items, charges, gains or losses from divestitures or litigation, or other items. Due to the uncertainty of the likelihood, amount and timing of any such items, the Company does not have information available to provide a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted projected full year earnings per diluted share to a GAAP earnings per diluted share projection. |
| The Company also discusses free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP measure, and provides a projection of free cash flow, because it believes that it is indicative of our ability to pay our quarterly dividends, repurchase common stock, fund acquisitions and other investments and, in the absence of refinancings, to repay our debt obligations. Free cash flow is not intended to replace “Net cash provided by operating activities,” which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure. However, the Company believes free cash flow gives investors useful insight into how the Company views its liquidity. Nonetheless, the use of free cash flow as a liquidity measure has material limitations because it excludes certain expenditures that are required or that the Company has committed to, such as declared dividend payments and debt service requirements. The Company defines free cash flow as: |
| • | Net cash provided by operating activities |
• Less, capital expenditures
• Plus, proceeds from divestitures of businesses (net of cash divested), and other sales of assets.
The Company’s definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and therefore is not subject to comparison. The quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP measures used herein to the most comparable GAAP measures is included in the accompanying schedules. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, and investors are urged to take into account GAAP measures as well as non-GAAP measures in evaluating the Company.
The Company will host a conference call at 10:00 AM (Eastern) today to discuss the second quarter 2012 results. Information contained within this press release will be referenced and should be considered in conjunction with the call.

| (b) | The quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 reflects an increase in amortization expense of approximately $6.2 million of which $9.4 million is driven by an increase in landfill volumes due to seasonality, partially offset by a $3.2 million decline primarily due to one-time favorable final capping adjustments recognized in Q2 2012. |
| (c) | The quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011 reflects a decline in amortization expense of approximately $10.3 million due to variances in rate of which $4.8 million relates to unfavorable final capping adjustments in Q2 2011 and favorable final capping adjustments of $2.3 million in Q2 2012. Volumes remained consistent year-over-year. |
