STERICYCLE, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR THIRD QUARTER 2011


Lake Forest, Illinois, October 26, 2011—Stericycle, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRCL), today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2011.


Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $420.9 million, up 16.0% from $363.0 million from the same quarter last year.  Acquisitions less than 12 months old contributed approximately $43.9 million to the growth in revenues.  The impact on revenues from foreign exchange in the quarter was $4.1 million favorable.  Gross profit was $190.1 million, up 13.1% from $168.1 million in the third quarter last year.  Gross profit as a percent of revenue was 45.2% compared with 46.3% in the third quarter of 2010.


Net income attributable to Stericycle for the third quarter of 2011 was $59.2 million or $0.68 per diluted share compared with $56.7 million or $0.65 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010.  Net income attributable to Stericycle for the third quarter of 2011 includes acquisition expenses, restructuring costs, and other items.  Excluding the effects of these items, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.71 for the quarter (see table below).  Our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 9.6% from our non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.65 in the third quarter of 2010.  


FIRST NINE MONTHS’ RESULTS

For the nine months ending September 30, 2011, revenues were $1.229 billion, up 17.6% from $1.046 billion in the same period last year.

* In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), reported earnings per share include the after-tax impact of the items identified in this table. For internal purposes, including the determination of management compensation, the Company excludes these items from results when evaluating operating performance. This table and the Company’s internal use of non-GAAP earnings per share are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP earnings per share is a better measure of performance than GAAP earnings per share.


Cash flow from operations was $215.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Safe Harbor Statement: Statements in this press release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control (for example, general economic conditions). Our actual results could differ significantly from the results described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include changes in governmental regulation of medical waste collection and treatment and increases in transportation and other operating costs, as well as the other factors described in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, past financial performance should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future results or trends. We make no commitment to disclose any subsequent revisions to forward-looking statements.
