THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS

“We saw strong performance across our Secure Information Destruction, hospital regulated waste, and retail and healthcare hazardous waste services in the quarter. The small quantity healthcare and Communication and Related Services results were consistent with our expectations,” said Charles A. Alutto, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Also in the quarter, Manufacturing and Industrial came in lower than anticipated, we experienced cost pressure in Latin America, and we were impacted by several hurricanes.” 

Revenues were $882.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of 0.8% from $890.1 million in the third quarter of last year. Acquisitions contributed $6.8 million to revenues. Divestitures reduced revenues by $9.9 million. On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased 0.9% compared to the third quarter of last year. Organic revenues decreased 0.6%, or increased 0.2% when adjusted for Manufacturing and Industrial Services. See Tables 1-A and 1-C.

Gross profit was $368.0 million, a decrease of 2.1% from $376.0 million in the third quarter of last year. Adjusted gross profit was $368.0 million, a decrease of 2.6% from $377.7 million in the third quarter of last year. Gross profit and Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenues were both 41.7% compared to 42.2% and 42.4%, respectively, in the third quarter of last year. See Table 2.

EPS decreased 43.1% to $0.41 from $0.72 in the third quarter of last year. Adjusted EPS decreased 11.3% to $1.10 from $1.24 in the third quarter of last year. See Tables 3 and 4.

“During the third quarter, we initiated a comprehensive multi-year Business Transformation initiative to improve our long-term operational and financial performance. This Transformation will optimize the organization and modernize our systems and processes,” Alutto said. “The Business Transformation will include the implementation of an enterprise resource planning technology platform, a restructuring of the organization, and multiple other improvement initiatives to reduce costs.”

NINE-MONTH HIGHLIGHTS COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR:

 

Revenues of $2.69 billion, an increase of 1.4%, or an increase of 2.6% when excluding Manufacturing and Industrial

 

Gross profit of $1.12 billion, a decrease of 0.2%

 

Loss per share of $0.70, a decrease of 136.3%, due primarily to the impact of the previously announced class action settlement (“Settlement”) of $295.0 million, and Adjusted EPS of $3.33, a decrease of 5.7%

NINE-MONTH RESULTS

Revenues were $2.69 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 1.4% from $2.66 billion in the same period last year. Acquisitions contributed $25.4 million to revenues. Divestitures reduced revenues by $11.4 million. On a constant

See Table 2.

PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION

The Company reports its financial results in compliance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and provides certain supplemental Non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to operate the Company’s business. These Non-GAAP measures provide investors and analysts the ability to compare the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that, in management’s view, do not reflect the Company’s underlying operating performance. These Non-GAAP measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining their performance-based compensation.

Adjusted EPS, Adjusted net income attributable to Stericycle common shareholders, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenues, Adjusted revenues, and Revenues on a constant currency basis are described in the Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Measures section of this document.

We present our change in revenues separately to show the impact of foreign currency, acquisitions, and divestitures because we believe that exclusion of these items better represents the Company’s underlying business trends, including organic revenue changes. We also present revenues excluding Manufacturing and Industrial Services (“M&I”) which allow for visibility to a revenue stream that has shown greater volatility than our other service lines.

For the purpose of evaluating operating performance, we present our financials to exclude the impact of certain acquisition-related items from our adjusted earnings. These adjustments include acquisition and integration expenses, intangible amortization expense, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration. This allows for comparison of period over period results without the impact of acquisition-related items. Further, we exclude the impact of certain other items from our adjusted earnings to allow for period over period comparison of results without the impact of items that may not occur each year and, if so, are due to different factors. For the periods presented, these adjustments include litigation and professional services expenses, restructuring, plant conversion and other related expenses, and contract exit expenses, and asset impairment charges and loss on disposal of assets held for sale.

For the purpose of calculating the ultimate EPS impact of our mandatory convertible preferred stock, we show the impact by excluding the mandatory convertible preferred stock dividend and using the “if-converted” method of share dilution. This provides the reader insight to how our diluted share count will be affected after these preferred shares are converted to common shares.

These Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial results, but should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and other information presented herein. The Non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of each Non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying tables.

Safe Harbor Statement: This press release may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control (for example, general economic and market 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 the collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of regulated waste or the proper handling and protection of personal and confidential information, the ability to obtain final court approval of the Settlement, the ultimate terms and conditions of the Settlement, the number of members of the Settlement class that may elect to opt out of the Settlement, the impact of the Settlement in future periods on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, increases in transportation and other operating costs, the level of governmental enforcement of regulations governing regulated waste collection and treatment or the proper handling and protection of personal and confidential information, our obligations to service our substantial indebtedness and to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our private placement notes, term loan credit facility and revolving credit facility, our ability to negotiate additional financing arrangements on acceptable terms, our ability to execute on our Business Transformation initiatives and achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings, our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to integrate acquired businesses, competition and demand for services in the regulated waste and secure information destruction industries, political, economic and currency risks related to our foreign operations, impairments of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangibles, variability in the demand for services we provide on a project or non-recurring basis, exposure to environmental liabilities, fluctuations in the price we receive for the sale of paper, the outcome of pending or future litigation, disruptions in or attacks on our information technology systems, compliance with existing and future legal and regulatory requirements, as well as other factors described in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.
