STERICYCLE, INC. REPORTS RESULTS

FOR FIRST QUARTER 2012


Lake Forest, Illinois, April 25, 2012—Stericycle, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRCL), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2012.


Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $460.1 million, up 15.6% from $398.1 million from the first quarter last year.  Acquisitions contributed approximately $41.0 million to the current period growth in revenues compared with last year in the period.  The impact on revenues from foreign exchange in the quarter was $3.3 million unfavorable.  Gross profit was $205.3 million, up 12.5% from $182.4 million in the first quarter last year.  Gross profit as a percent of revenue was 44.6% compared with 45.8% in the first quarter of 2011.  


Net income attributable to Stericycle for the first quarter of 2012 was $64.9 million or $0.75 per diluted share compared with $55.7 million or $0.64 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2011.  Net income attributable to Stericycle for the first quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2011 includes acquisition expenses, adjustments of contingent consideration to fair value, and other items.  Excluding the effects of these items, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.78 for the quarter (see table below).  Our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 12.9% from our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.69 in the first quarter of 2011.

* 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 $99.6 million and $65.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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.
