TORONTO, ONTARIO, July 25, 2017

- Waste Connections, Inc. (TSX/NYSE: WCN) (“Waste Connections” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2017. Revenue in the second quarter totaled $1.176 billion, up from $727.6 million in the year ago period. Revenue from the Progressive Waste acquisition completed on June 1, 2016, was $511.4 million and $174.0 million in the current year and prior year periods, respectively. Operating income, which included $7.4 million in charges primarily related to share-based compensation costs associated with share-based awards assumed in the Progressive Waste acquisition, was $206.9 million. This compares to operating income of $63.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, which included $73.2 million of items primarily related to the Progressive Waste acquisition completed in that period.

Net income attributable to Waste Connections in the second quarter was $123.7 million, or $0.47 per share on a diluted basis of 264.1 million shares. In the year ago period, the Company reported net income attributable to Waste Connections of $27.5 million, or $0.13 per share on a diluted basis of 210.9 million shares. Shares and per share numbers reflect a three-for-two share split completed in June 2017.

Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections* in the second quarter was $145.5 million, or $0.55 per share, versus $93.2 million, or $0.44 per share, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* in the second quarter was $373.6 million, as compared to adjusted EBITDA* of $233.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections, adjusted net income attributable to Waste Connections per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, all non-GAAP measures, primarily exclude the impact of acquisition-related items, as reflected in the detailed reconciliation in the attached tables.

“Continued strength in solid waste volumes, recycled commodity prices and E&P waste activity enabled us to once again exceed our outlook for the quarter. Given our strong results in the first half of the year and expected continuing momentum from these trends, we believe we are on track to report approximately $1.45 billion of adjusted EBITDA in 2017, exceeding our initial outlook provided in February,” said Ronald J. Mittelstaedt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “More importantly, full year adjusted free cash flow, now estimated at approximately $750 million, or almost 52% of adjusted EBITDA, is also pacing ahead of initial expectations.”

Mr. Mittelstaedt added, “We are pleased to report that our divestiture program is nearing completion, with the expected benefits greater than initially anticipated. Moreover, we are encouraged by our progress on potential acquisitions, for which we could fully utilize existing cash and projected excess cash flow over the next few quarters. In addition to funding potentially above average acquisition activity, our strong financial profile also positions us for another double-digit percentage increase in our quarterly dividend in October.”

* A non-GAAP measure; see accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliation Schedule.
