The Company Outlines Strategy to Accelerate Growth; Reaffirms 2019 Full-Year Guidance, Excluding Acquisition-Related Considerations; and Establishes 2021 Financial Growth Rates

 

 

 

 

 

HOUSTON — May 30, 2019 — Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) will host its Investor Day at the New York Stock Exchange today beginning at 8:30 a.m. EDT to provide an in-depth review of the Company’s long-term vision, growth strategies, capital allocation framework, and operational and financial objectives.  The event will feature presentations and question and answer sessions with every member of the Company’s senior leadership team.

 

“In recent years, we have extended our leadership position by executing several key strategic initiatives, including attracting top senior-level talent, optimizing our business, investing in technology and strengthening our balance sheet.” said Jim Fish, President and Chief Executive Officer of Waste Management. “Today, Waste Management is better positioned than ever and our team is excited to use our Investor Day as a platform to outline the next phase of our strategy to create shareholder value.  Our plan is grounded in cultivating a purpose-led culture and offering differentiated service through our integrated use of technology and data analytics to provide a better experience for our customers,” added Fish.

 

Today, the Company reaffirms its 2019 financial outlook, excluding Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. (“Advanced Disposal”) acquisition-related financing costs and revisions in outlook for capital allocated to share repurchases.  The Company will also announce long-term growth targets that reflect confidence in its ability to execute on strategic priorities to grow the business.  These long-term growth targets, which are outlined below, also exclude the expected revenue, earnings and free cash flow contributions expected from the acquisition of Advanced Disposal.

 

2019 — 2021 LONG-TERM AVERAGE ANNUAL GROWTH TARGETS

 

·                  Revenue growth in the collection and disposal business of between 4% and 6%.

·                  Adjusted Operating EBITDA growth of between 5% and 7%.(a)

·                  Free Cash Flow growth of between 5% and 7%.(a)

 

EVENT WEBCAST DETAILS

The live webcast of Waste Management’s Investor Day, including question and answer sessions, will begin at 8:30 a.m. EDT and conclude at approximately 12:30 p.m. The presentations and webcast can be accessed from Waste Management’s Investor Relations website at http://investors.wm.com/events/event-details/2019-investor-day and will be available for replay following the event.

 

(a)         Adjusted operating EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures.  Please see the May 30, 2019 Investor Day presentation, available at the website identified in the prior paragraph, for definitions of these terms and additional information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP measures.  Due to the uncertainty of the likelihood, amount and timing of future items that may impact these measures, the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of long-term projected adjusted operating EBITDA growth or long-term projected free cash flow growth to the comparable GAAP measures.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Certain statements provided in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words, “will,” “may,” “should,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “forecast,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend” and words of similar nature, and such statements generally contain projections about accounting and finances; strategy, plans and objectives for the future and outcomes from such strategic plans and objectives; projections, estimates, or assumptions relating to our performance; results of investments in new technologies; implementation of innovation and efficiency projects; predictions or assumptions about future trends or conditions in our industry; or our opinions, views or beliefs about the effects of current or future events, circumstances or performance. Such forward-looking statements also include statements about Advanced Disposal, Inc. (“ADS”) and the proposed acquisition, including but not limited to all statements about the timing and approvals of the proposed acquisition; ability to consummate and finance the acquisition; integration of the acquisition; future operations; future capital allocation; future business and financial performance of Waste Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Waste Management”) and ADS and the ability to achieve future financial guidance; future leverage ratio; and all outcomes of the proposed acquisition, including synergies, cost savings, and impact on earnings, cash flow and margin, return on capital, strength of the balance sheet and credit ratings. You should view these statements with caution. These statements are not a guaranty of future performance, circumstances or events. They are based on information known to us as of the date the statements are made. Our business is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which we do not control, that alone or taken together could have a material adverse effect on us and could cause actual results to be materially different from those set forth in such forward-looking statement. Some of these risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail in Waste Management’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, including financial estimates, whether as a result of future events, circumstances or developments or otherwise. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors to assess the performance, results of operations and cash available for the Company’s capital allocation program. These non-GAAP measures are meant to supplement, not replace, comparable GAAP measures, and such non-GAAP measures may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles can be found in the Appendix at the end of this presentation and under the Investor Relations tab on our website: www.wm.com. 2 INVESTOR DAY
