Although depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion are considered operating costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they represent the allocation of non-cash costs generally associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior years.We believe that presenting adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin by business type, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax impact, adjusted net income - Republic, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use these measures, and believe investors will find them helpful, in understanding the ongoing performance of our operations separate from items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. We have incurred comparable charges, costs and recoveries in prior periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods.Restructuring charges. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred restructuring charges of $2 million and $4 million, respectively. The charges related to the design and implementation of our new accounts receivable system.Gain on business divestitures and impairments, net. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a net gain on business divestitures and impairments of $1 million and $2 million, respectively.Adjusted Free Cash FlowThe following table calculates our adjusted free cash flow, which is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in millions of dollars):

It also demonstrates our ability to execute our financial strategy and is a key metric we use to determine compensation. The presentation of adjusted free cash flow has material limitations. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent our cash flow available for discretionary payments because it excludes certain payments that are required or to which we have committed, such as debt service requirements and dividend payments.Purchases of property and equipment as reflected on our consolidated statements of cash flows represent amounts paid during the period for such expenditures. A reconciliation of property and equipment expenditures reflected on our consolidated statements of cash flows to property and equipment received during the period follows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in millions of dollars):

>>> Republic Services, Inc. (RSG): Among the Best Recycling Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds


Insider Monkey

by Neha Gupta

November 7, 2024


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/republic-services-inc-rsg-among-204059988.html


We recently compiled a list of the 10 Best Recycling Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) stands against the other recycling stocks.

Imagine living in a society where all kinds of waste are converted into useful resources that power sectors like construction, energy, packaging, and automotive while reducing landfill clutter. That's the reality as calls for sustainability fuel recycling in the race to protect the environment and resources.

Consequently, the waste recycling services market is experiencing robust growth amid increased awareness of environmental sustainability, stringent waste disposal regulations and increased focus on resource conservation. With the recycling services market projected to be worth $78.43 billion by 2028 (as per The Business Research Company), there are tremendous opportunities to unlock by focusing on companies that are involved in the space.

One of the key areas with tremendous potential in the recycling business involves plastic purification so that it can go back into the circular economy. Katherine Ogundiya, an analyst at Barclays, believes the crop of companies working on plastic recycling has been overlooked, yet they possess tremendous upside potential. "Advanced recycling has immense potential to transform the plastic waste crisis," she said in a research note to investors.

The metal recycling market is growing significantly, primarily driven by the increasing demand for consumer electronics. Electronic waste is produced in tandem with the growth in the production and use of gadgets like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and home appliances. Essential metals that can be recovered and recycled, such as copper, aluminum, gold, and silver, are present in these devices. To preserve natural resources and lessen the environmental impact of mining and processing new metals, it is essential to recycle metals from e-waste.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced $2.6 billion in newly available funding for drinking water infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to accompany that rule.

Based on data gathered in 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency projected in a report to Congress last year that the United States will require $625 billion in investments over two decades in drinking water infrastructure. The investment should also benefit companies engaged in the water recycling business by 2030.

The recycling sector is a prime example of how profit and the environment can coexist at a time when sustainability is a major topic of discussion worldwide. In addition to promoting a greener future as we move toward a more circular economy recycling companies offer access to a thriving market with substantial growth potential.

We'll introduce you to some of the most notable waste management and recycling companies in this article. These businesses spearhead change and present astute investors with exciting prospects of long-term shareholder value.

Our Methodology

To compile the list of the best recycling stocks to buy according to hedge funds, we used a stock screener to find waste management and recycling companies. We then selected the stocks that were the most popular among elite hedge funds, as of Q2 2024. Finally, we ranked the stocks in ascending order based on the number of hedge funds that held stakes in them.

At Insider Monkey, we are obsessed with the stocks that hedge funds pile into. The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 275% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 150 percentage points (see more details here).

Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG)

Market cap as of November 7: $64.84 Billion

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 48

Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) is a leading environmental solutions player specializing in solid waste and recycling services. It is involved in the collection and processing of recyclable, solid waste and industrial waste materials. While the stock is up by about 20% for the year, the outperformance comes from investors reacting to the company's solid underlying fundamentals characterized by strong customer retention and organic revenue growth.

A noteworthy contributor to Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG)'s strong performance is the Environmental Solutions (ES) segment. This division's impressive performance demonstrates Republic Services' strategic focus on expanding its service offerings beyond traditional waste management. Despite volume drops, the Solid Waste (SW) division was able to sustain strong margin performance. This fortitude in the face of difficult market circumstances demonstrates the business's capacity for cost control and operational effectiveness.

Consequently, Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) delivered solid third-quarter results, on October 30, 2024, with revenues increasing 6.5% year over year to $4.1 billion. It also offered a 17.5% year-over-year increase in earnings per share, totaling $1.8. The better-than-expected results came as Republic Services benefited from innovative recycling and waste collection technology. The development of polymer centers and Blue Polymers and advancements in fleet electrification also continued to boost top-line growth.

Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) is one of the best recycling stocks to buy, according to analysts, on planning $200 million worth of acquisitions, which is expected to generate up to $834 million in shareholders' long-term returns. The development of the Las Vegas Polymer Center and an Indianapolis facility is expected to boost earnings next year. The stock continues to return value with a 1.17% dividend yield.

ClearBridge Investments stated the following regarding Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

"We added two new names to the portfolio in the quarter. Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) is a waste disposal company in the industrial sector whose services include nonhazardous solid waste collection, waste transfer, waste disposal, recycling and energy services. It is a stable-through-the-cycle compounder in a consolidated industry. The company's end market is resilient, which gives us some confidence in the stability of its earnings through a recession. In the next few years, cash flow should grow at the high end of the range as Republic Services benefits from high-returning sustainability investments in polymer recycling and renewable natural gas, which also improve the company's emission and circularity profile.

Overall RSG ranks 3rd on our list of the best recycling stocks to buy according to hedge funds. While we acknowledge the potential of RSG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than RSG but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

This Leading Waste Management Stock Is Getting Dumped

This morning, leading waste management company Republic Services, Inc(NYSE:RSG) is trading lower by more than 5.0 percent on the back of a downgrade. The stock tested its 200-day moving average at $62.50 and is holding so far. Unfortunately, the daily chart pattern is signaling further downside to come for the stock. Traders and investors will now need to watch the $59.00 level for major chart support. This level is where the RSG stock broke out in February 2017. Often, when stocks retest their break-out levels they will be defended by the institutional money. Keep the $59.00 level on the radar for RSG when it trades down there.

RSG 22.68 8.00%

As of 4:02 PM ET 5/1/09
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) today reported net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $113.0 million, or $.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $76.1 million, or $.41 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. Our first quarter 2009 financial results include Allied Waste Industries, Inc. (Allied) which merged with Republic on December 5, 2008. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $353.0 million compared to $142.2 million for the comparable period in 2008. Operating income before depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $598.1 million, or 29.0% of revenue compared to $220.0 million, or 28.2% of revenue in 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020531/RSGLOGO)

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $2,060.5 million compared to $779.2 million for the same period in 2008. Core price for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (assuming the merger with Allied had occurred on January 1, 2008) increased 3.5%. Internal growth for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (assuming the merger with Allied had occurred on January 1, 2008) decreased 8.6% (consisting of a 3.5% price increase offset by decreases of 8.0% in core volume, 2.9% in commodity prices and 1.2% in fuel charges).

Commenting on these results, James E. O'Connor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Republic Services, said, "During the first quarter, we continued to see positive results regarding the merger of Republic and Allied. Thus far, we have captured more than $75 million in annual run-rate synergy savings. We are well on our way, and remain confident in our commitment, to secure a total annual savings of at least $150 million by the end of 2010."

"The field organization has done an excellent job managing costs through improved efficiency and productivity during the economic downturn which has resulted in significant margin expansion," said Donald W. Slager, President and COO of Republic Services, Inc. "Customer service and effective pricing continue to be the primary focus of our business in 2009. We remain committed to achieving our previous pricing guidance of 4% for the full year."

In April 2009, we received approximately $332 million in proceeds from the sale of certain businesses mandated by the United States Department of Justice. These proceeds were used to repay amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility.

Clean Energy and Republic Services, Inc., 2nd Largest Refuse Company in the US, Establish Partnership to Supply First CNG Refuse Fleet in Idaho

CLNE 8.29 2.73%
RSG 20.71 6.04%

As of 4:02 PM ET 4/29/09
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG), the City of Boise, Idaho's waste and recycling collection services contractor, has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:CLNE) a contract to build and operate a compressed natural gas (CNG) time-fill station and provide fuel for Republic's planned deployment of a new CNG refuse truck fleet that will be the first in Idaho. Republic has an exclusive contract with the City of Boise to provide all solid waste and recycling services to more than 68,000 residential and commercial customers in the Greater Boise area. The company operated under the name Allied Waste until a December 2008 merger with Republic, when the two combined to form the second largest solid waste management company in the United States.

"The use of these clean-burning CNG trucks as replacements for our older diesel models aligns with the City of Boise's strategic plan to combat climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure air quality improvements," said Dave Fisher, Republic's Boise general manager. "CNG has proven to be cleaner burning than gasoline or diesel fuel, significantly lowering harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, toxic pollutants and greenhouse gas carbon dioxide."

Fisher added, "We also believe that natural gas fuel, because it is a domestic resource, is a positive move for the country which will help us reduce our dependence on imported foreign oil."

Boise is home to one-third of Idaho's population and much of the state's industrial and business base, which concentrates in the Treasure Valley section of the city. After careful analysis, the city and Republic determined that a CNG refuse fleet would bring significant air quality and environmental benefits to the area, and help Boise achieve consistent compliance with increasingly stringent standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Ray Burke, Clean Energy Vice President, said, "We congratulate both the City of Boise and Republic for their demonstrated commitment to environmental quality and their choice of clean-burning CNG trucks to provide refuse services to their citizens. We are proud to work with them to support the first CNG-powered trash truck fleet in Idaho, and believe that this can serve as a model for implementing clean refuse collection policies in cities throughout Idaho."

Clean Energy is the leading provider of natural gas (CNG and LNG) for transportation in North America. It has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than 15,000 vehicles at 176 strategic locations across the United States and Canada. Clean Energy owns and operates two LNG production plants, one in Willis, TX and one in Boron, CA, with combined capacity of 260,000 LNG gallons per day and designed to expand to 340,000 LNG gallons per day as demand increases. It also owns and operates a landfill gas processing facility in Dallas, TX that produces renewable biomethane gas for delivery in the nation's gas pipeline network.
