THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
- Revenues in the third quarter were
$653.5 million compared to$690.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to divestitures of$32.4 million , which was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates of$6.1 million . Organic revenues in RWCS grew$17.4 million , while SID organic revenues were lower by$27.9 million . The decline in SID was mainly a result of lower commodity indexed revenues of$30.1 million due to lower sorted office paper and lower SID fuel and environmental surcharges. - Income from operations in the third quarter was
$24.2 million compared to$50.6 million in the third quarter of 2022. The$26.4 million decrease was mainly due to lowerSID North America commodity indexed revenues and the corresponding margin flow through impact of$22.2 million . The decrease was also due to higher incentive and stock-based compensation of$7.2 million and a self-insurance settlement of$2.2 million . These were partially offset by cost savings and other margin flow through of$8.6 million and lower bad debt expense of$3.2 million . - Net income in the third quarter was
$2.0 million , or$0.02 diluted earnings per share, compared to$28.0 million , or$0.30 in the third quarter of 2022. The$26.0 million decrease was primarily attributable to lower Income from operations of$26.4 million , as explained above. - Cash flow from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 was$193.3 million , compared to$43.1 million in the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase of$150.2 million was primarily driven by lower FCPA settlement payments of$72.8 million ; improved accounts receivables collections, net of deferred revenues of$55.0 million ; and lower annual incentive compensation payments of$22.3 million . - Cash paid for capital expenditures for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 was$102 .2 million, compared to$106 .0 million in the same period of 2022.
Non-GAAP Results1,2
- For the third quarter of 2023, organic revenues1 decreased 1.6%, which excludes the impacts of divestitures and foreign exchange rates. RWCS organic revenues1 increased 4.1% while SID organic revenues1 decreased 11.6%, mainly due to lower commodity indexed revenues, as explained above.
- Adjusted income from operations1 was
$70 .3 million compared to$92 .0 million in the third quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenues, the 250 basis points decrease was mainly due to lower RISI rates impacting sorted office paper and fuel and environmental surcharges and the corresponding margin flow through impact of 340 basis points. The decrease was also due to higher incentive and stock-based compensation of 110 basis points and a self-insurance settlement of 30 basis points. These were partially offset by cost savings and margin flow through of 150 basis points and lower bad debt expense of 50 basis points. - Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was
$0.43 compared to$0.65 in the third quarter of 2022. Excluding the impacts of divestitures and foreign exchange rates of$0.02 , the remaining$0.20 decrease was driven by lowerSID North America commodity indexed revenues of$0.19 ; higher incentive and stock-based compensation of$0.06 ; taxes, interest and other of$0.03 ; and a self-insurance settlement of$0.02 . These were partially offset by cost savings and other margin flow through of$0.07 and lower bad debt expense of$0.03 . - Free cash flow2 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 was an inflow of$91 .1 million compared to an outflow of$62 .9 million in the same period of 2022. The$154 .0 million increase was primarily due to higher cash flow from operations of$150.2 million , as explained above, and lower cash paid for capital expenditures of$3 .8 million.

- The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release are reconciled to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with
U.S. GAAP in the schedules attached to this release. Management believes the Non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of Stericycle’s performance because they provide additional information about Stericycle’s operations and exclude certain adjusting items, allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release may not be calculated in the same manner as certain other Non-GAAP financial measures and are used solely to evaluate management’s performance for incentive compensation purposes. All Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicableU.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to or calculated in the same manner as Non-GAAP financial measures published by other companies. - Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is Income from operations excluding certain adjusting items, depreciation and intangible amortization.
- Under the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders column, adjustments are shown net of tax in aggregate of
$8 .5 million and$9 .6 million for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on applying the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the adjustment occurred or, by adjusting the tax effect to consider the impact of applying an annual effective tax rate on an interim basis. For purposes of reconciling adjusted diluted earnings per share with respect to taxes period-over-period, the company utilizes a “rate approach” to highlight the impact of the adjusted tax rate. It is computed by multiplying the prior period adjusted rate by the current period adjusted income before taxes to determine the expected tax expense. Such expected tax expense is then compared to actual tax expense. Expected tax in excess of actual tax variance is favorable; actual tax in excess of expected tax variance is unfavorable. The variance divided by diluted shares outstanding at the end of the period yields the impact on earnings per share. Management believes the use of this measure best aids in explaining the impact of a changing tax rate.
