REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (also referred to collectively as Republic, the Company, we, us, or our), is one of the largest providers of environmental services in the United States, as measured by revenue. Our senior management evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of our operations through three field groups, referred to as Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the western United States. Group 2 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the southeastern and mid-western United States, the eastern seaboard of the United States, and Canada. Group 3 is our environmental solutions business operating primarily in geographic areas located across the United States and Canada. These groups represent our reportable segments, which each provide integrated environmental services, including but not limited to collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, our environmental services operating segment, now referred to as our Group 3 reportable segment, was aggregated with Corporate entities and other.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Services, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). We account for investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest under the equity method of accounting or, for investments that do not meet the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method, we reflect these investments at their fair value when it is readily determinable. If fair value is not readily determinable, we use an alternative measurement approach. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments that, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results you can expect for a full year. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All dollar amounts in tabular presentations are in millions, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted.

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our financial statements, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing our financial statements, the more critical and subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, including recoverability, landfill development costs, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, multiemployer pension funds, employee benefit plans, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and insurance reserves; and our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. Each of these items is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU requires buyers to disclose information about their supplier finance programs. Interim and annual requirements include the disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those

8

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023, certain of our vendors chose to opt into our vendor supply finance agreement. This agreement allows a vendor to choose, on an invoice by invoice basis, to receive an earlier payment instead of a payment based on its original contracted terms (which, depending on the vendor, could extend up to 90 days or longer). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts outstanding under these programs were not material.

2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Acquisitions

We acquired various environmental services businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The aggregate purchase price paid for these business acquisitions and the allocations of the aggregate purchase price follows:

	2023		2022
Purchase price:
Cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $15.0 and 64.6, respectively	$	918.7	$	2,516.6
Holdbacks	8.1		10.1
Fair value, future minimum finance lease payments	0.5		15.6
Total	$	927.3	$	2,542.3
Allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable	$	26.1	$	250.5
Prepaid expenses	1.0		15.5
Landfill development costs	0.5		495.7
Property and equipment	160.3		688.0
Operating right-of-use lease assets	1.7		55.4
Interest rate swap	—		29.1
Other assets	0.1		38.0
Inventory	2.2		11.2
Accounts payable	(5.3)		(109.2)
Deferred revenue	(8.1)		(25.6)
Environmental remediation liabilities	(5.6)		(92.4)
Closure and post-closure liabilities	(10.5)		(88.9)
Operating right-of-use lease liabilities	(1.7)		(55.8)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(9.2)		(151.0)
Other liabilities	(1.2)		(49.5)
Fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed	150.3		1,011.0
Excess purchase price to be allocated	$	777.0	$	1,531.3
Excess purchase price allocated as follows:
Other intangible assets	$	103.0	$	162.9
Goodwill	674.0		1,368.4
Total allocated	$	777.0	$	1,531.3

Certain of the purchase price allocations are preliminary and based on information existing at the acquisition dates. Accordingly, the purchase price allocations are subject to change. For the acquisitions that closed during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we expect that a majority of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized as a result of these acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes.

These acquisitions are not material to the Company's results of operations, individually or in the aggregate. As a result, no pro forma financial information is provided.

On May 2, 2022, we acquired all outstanding equity of US Ecology, Inc. (US Ecology) in a transaction valued at $2.2 billion. US Ecology is a leading provider of environmental solutions offering treatment, recycling and disposal of hazardous, non-

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

hazardous and specialty waste. As of June 30, 2023, we finalized the purchase price allocation. We did not step-up the tax basis of the assets recognized in connection with the US Ecology acquisition, and do not expect that the goodwill and intangible assets recognized will be deductible for tax purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $18.2 million and $56.6 million, respectively, of acquisition integration and deal costs in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $10.6 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of acquisition integration and deal costs in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. The 2023 costs primarily related to the integration of certain software systems as well as rebranding the business, and the 2022 costs included certain costs to close the acquisition and integrate the business.

In June 2023, we acquired a vertically-integrated set of operations located primarily in Colorado from GFL Environmental Inc., including recycling, hauling, transfer and landfill operations. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and remains subject to revision as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. The preliminary allocation of purchase price, including the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as certain landfill and environmental liabilities assumed, is based on the best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on the final valuations. We expect our valuations to be substantially complete by the end of 2023.

Investments

In 2023 and 2022, we acquired non-controlling equity interests in certain limited liability companies that qualified for investment tax credits under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code. In exchange for our non-controlling interests, we made capital contributions of $1.5 million and $121.0 million, which were recorded to other assets in our June 30, 2023 and 2022 consolidated balance sheets, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we decreased the carrying value of these investments by $4.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we increased the carrying value of these investments by $11.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, as a result of cash distributions and our share of income and loss pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreements. Additionally, our tax provisions reflect no benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and benefits of approximately $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to the tax credits related to these investments. For further discussion of the income tax benefits, refer to Note 11, Income Taxes, in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Restructuring Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring charges of $15.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring charges of $5.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Of the 2023 charges, $9.4 million related to the early termination of certain leases and $6.1 million related to the redesign of our asset management, and customer and order management software systems, and the 2022 charges primarily related to the redesign of our general ledger, budgeting and procurement enterprise resource planning systems which was completed with systems being placed into production in 2022. We paid $26.1 million, of which $15.8 million related to the early termination of certain leases, during 2023 and $8.3 million during 2022 related to these restructuring efforts.

We review annually, in the fourth quarter, and update as necessary, our estimates of asset retirement obligation liabilities. However, if there are significant changes in the facts and circumstances related to a site during the year, we will update our assumptions prospectively in the period that we know all the relevant facts and circumstances and make adjustments as appropriate.

Landfill Operating Expenses

In the normal course of business, we incur various operating costs associated with environmental compliance. These costs include, among other things, leachate treatment and disposal, methane gas and groundwater monitoring, systems maintenance, interim cap maintenance, costs associated with the application of daily cover materials, and the legal and administrative costs of ongoing environmental compliance. These costs are expensed as cost of operations in the periods in which they are incurred.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

We accrue for remediation costs when they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. There can sometimes be a range of reasonable estimates of the costs associated with remediation of a site. In these cases, we use the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is at the low end of such range. It is reasonably possible that we will need to adjust the liabilities recorded for remediation to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. If we used the reasonably possible high ends of our ranges, our aggregate potential remediation liability as of June 30, 2023 would be approximately $369 million higher than the amount recorded. Future changes in our estimates of the cost, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table summarizes the activity in our environmental remediation liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Bridgeton Landfill. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid $5.9 million related to management and monitoring of the remediation area for our closed Bridgeton Landfill in Missouri. We continue to work with state and federal regulatory agencies on our remediation efforts. From time to time, this may require us to modify our future operating timeline and procedures, which could result in changes to our expected liability. As of June 30, 2023, the remediation liability recorded for this site was $81.2 million, of which approximately $9 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2023.

West Lake Landfill Superfund Site. Our subsidiary Bridgeton Landfill, LLC is one of several currently designated Potentially Responsible Parties for the West Lake Landfill Superfund site (West Lake) in Missouri. On September 27, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Record of Decision Amendment for West Lake that includes a total undiscounted cost estimate of $229 million over a four to five year design and construction timeline. On March 11, 2019, the EPA issued special notice letters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) to Bridgeton Landfill, LLC and the other currently designated Potentially Responsible Parties to initiate negotiations to implement the remedy. At this time, we are neither able to predict the final design of that remedy, nor estimate how much of the future response costs of the site our subsidiary may agree or be required to pay. During any subsequent administrative proceedings or litigation, our subsidiary will vigorously contest liability for the costs of remediating radiologically-impacted materials generated on behalf of the federal government during the Manhattan Project and delivered to the site by an Atomic Energy Commission licensee and its subcontractor. Currently, we believe we are adequately reserved for our expected remediation liability. However, subsequent events related to remedy design, divisibility, or allocation may require us to modify our expected remediation liability.

Credit Facilities

Uncommitted Credit Facility

In January 2022, we entered into a $200.0 million unsecured uncommitted revolving credit facility (the Uncommitted Credit Facility). The Uncommitted Credit Facility bears interest at an annual percentage rate to be agreed upon by both parties. Borrowings under the Uncommitted Credit Facility can be used for working capital, letters of credit, and other general corporate purposes. The agreement governing our Uncommitted Credit Facility requires us to comply with certain covenants. The Uncommitted Credit Facility may be terminated by either party at any time. As of June 30, 2023 we had $54.6 million of borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility

In August 2021, we entered into a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). Borrowings under the Credit Facility mature in August 2026. As permitted by the Credit Facility, we have the right to request two one-year extensions of the maturity date, but none of the lenders are committed to participate in such extensions. The Credit Facility also includes a feature that allows us to increase availability, at our option, by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders.

In February 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility (the Credit Facility Amendment) to add our subsidiary, USE Canada Holdings, Inc. (the Canadian Borrower), as an additional borrower under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility Amendment provides that the aggregate of (i) all loans to the Canadian Borrower and (ii) all loans denominated in Canadian dollars cannot exceed $500 million (the Canadian Sublimit). The Canadian Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility in United States dollars bear interest at a Base Rate, a daily floating SOFR or a term SOFR plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings (all as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). The Canadian dollar-denominated loans bear interest based on the Canadian Prime rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings. As of June 30, 2023, C$232 million was outstanding against the Canadian Sublimit, with an interest rate of 6.007%.

The Credit Facility is subject to facility fees based on applicable rates defined in the Credit Facility agreement and the aggregate commitment, regardless of usage. The Credit Facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility agreement requires us to comply with financial and other covenants. We may pay dividends and repurchase common stock if we are in compliance with these covenants.

We had $175.1 million (all related to Canadian-denominated loans) and $250.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We had $336.5 million and $347.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also had $750.0 million and $1.0 billion of principal borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As a result, availability under our Credit Facility was $1,738.4 million and $1,402.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Term Loan Facility

On April 29, 2022, we entered into the $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 29, 2025 and bears interest at a base rate or a forward-looking SOFR, plus an applicable margin based on our debt ratings. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 6.002%. We may prepay, without penalty, all or any part of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility at any time.

On May 2, 2022, we completed the acquisition of US Ecology using proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We had $700.0 million and $1.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Commercial Paper Program

In May 2022, we entered into a commercial paper program for the issuance and sale of unsecured commercial paper in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million outstanding at any one time (the Commercial Paper Cap). In August 2022, the Commercial Paper Cap was increased to $1.0 billion. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 5.287% with a weighted average maturity of 11 days.

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

We had $750.0 million and $1.0 billion principal value of commercial paper issued and outstanding under the program as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the event of a failed re-borrowing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund the commercial paper program until it is re-borrowed successfully. Accordingly, we have classified these borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Senior Notes

In March 2023, we issued $400.0 million of 4.875% senior notes due 2029 (the 4.875% Notes) and $800.0 million of 5.000% senior notes due 2034 (the 5.000% Notes, and together, the Notes). The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally with our other unsecured obligations. We used the proceeds from the Notes for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of amounts outstanding under the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the Commercial Paper Program, the Credit Facility, and the Term Loan Facility. As a result of the Term Loan Facility repayment, we incurred a non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the ratable portion of unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.2 million.

Interest Rate Swap and Lock Agreements

Our ability to obtain financing through the capital markets is a key component of our financial strategy. Historically, we have managed risk associated with executing this strategy, particularly as it relates to fluctuations in interest rates, by using a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. From time to time, we also have entered into interest rate swap and lock agreements to manage risk associated with interest rates, either to effectively convert specific fixed rate debt to a floating rate (fair value hedges), or to lock interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances (cash flow hedges).

Fair Value Hedges

During the second half of 2013, we entered into various interest rate swap agreements (the 2013 Interest Rate Swaps) relative to our 4.750% fixed rate senior notes due in May 2023 (4.750% Notes). The goal was to reduce overall borrowing costs and rebalance our debt portfolio's ratio of fixed-to-floating interest rates. These swap agreements settled in May 2023 along with our 4.750% Notes and are no longer included in our consolidated balance sheet.

Contemporaneously with the $250.0 million partial redemption of the 4.750% Notes in November 2020, we dedesignated the proportional share of these swap agreements as fair value hedges. There was no ineffectiveness recognized in the dedesignation of these fair value hedges. Following the dedesignation, the fair value of these free-standing derivatives was determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). As of December 31, 2022, these free-standing derivatives were reflected at their fair value of a $1.0 million liability and were included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized gains of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized losses of $1.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, directly in earnings as an adjustment to non-cash interest expense attributable to the change in fair value of the free-standing derivatives.

As of December 31, 2022, the 2013 Interest Rate Swaps that were designated as fair value hedges are reflected as a $1.2 million liability and included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

We recognized net interest expense of $0.8 million and $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and net interest income of $1.4 million and $3.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, related to net swap settlements for these interest rate swap agreements, which is included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized losses of $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to the impact of changes in the benchmark interest rate on the fair value of the hedged senior notes, and offsetting gains of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swaps attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized gains of $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to the impact of changes in the benchmark interest rate on the fair value of the hedged senior notes, and offsetting losses of $1.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swaps attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The difference of these fair value changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was recorded directly in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have historically entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in anticipation of planned future issuances of senior notes. Upon the expected issuance of senior notes, we terminate the interest rate locks and settle with our counterparties. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

The fair value of our interest rate locks is determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain in other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million, net of tax, related to terminated interest rate locks issued in conjunction with the issuance of our 5.000% Notes in March 2023. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our previously terminated interest rate locks were recorded as components of accumulated other comprehensive loss of $17.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively, net of tax. The effective portion of the interest rate locks is amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the issued debt using the effective interest method. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses, net of tax, of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses, net of tax, of $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as a result of this amortization. Over the next 12 months, we expect to amortize $3.5 million, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as a yield adjustment of our senior notes.

In connection with our acquisition of US Ecology, in the second quarter of 2022, we acquired and novated a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement (the 2022 Interest Rate Swap) with an initial effective date of March 6, 2020, an initial notional amount of $500 million relative to our Term Loan Facility and an initial fair value of $29.1 million. The initial fair value is reclassified into earnings as non-cash interest expense on a systematic basis over the life of the interest rate swap. As of June 30, 2023, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap has a notional value of $370 million. The interest rate swap matures in November 2026. The goal was to reduce overall borrowing costs. Under the terms of the acquired agreement, we pay interest at a fixed interest rate of 0.832% and received interest at floating rates based on changes in LIBOR. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. In May 2022, following the closing of the acquisition, we amended the reference rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a SOFR rate. In accordance with ASU 2020-04, the amendment of the reference rate did not result in dedesignation of the cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized in interest expense in the period in which the payment is settled.

The fair value of our floating-to-fixed interest rate swap is determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap was recorded at its fair value of $33.9 million and $36.0 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized unrealized gains of $7.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the 2022 Interest Rate Swap. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an unrealized loss of $1.1 million, net of tax, related to the change in fair value of the 2022 Interest Rate Swap. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap was recorded as a gain within accumulated other comprehensive loss of $9.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, net of tax. The effective portion of the Interest Rate Swap is amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the instrument using the effective interest method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a gain, net of tax, of $3.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, as a result of this amortization. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not recognize any gains or losses related to this amortization. Over the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $7 million, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an offset to interest expense in the period in which payments are settled.

For further detail regarding the effect of our cash flow hedging on interest expense, refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Derivative Contracts

Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 2.300% Notes in February 2020, we amended interest rate lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $550.0 million, extending the mandatory maturity date from 2020 to 2030, and dedesignated them as cash flow hedges (2020 Extended Interest Rate Locks). Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 2.500% Notes in August 2019, we amended interest rate lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $375.0 million, extending the mandatory maturity date from 2019 to 2024, and dedesignated them as cash flow hedges (2019 Extended Interest Rate Locks and collectively with the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Locks referred to as the Extended Interest Rate Locks). There was no ineffectiveness recognized in the termination of these cash flow hedges. In addition, we entered into offsetting interest rate swaps to offset future exposures to fair value fluctuations of the Extended Interest Rate Locks (2019 Offsetting Interest Rate Swap and the 2020 Offsetting Interest Rate Swap, or collectively the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps). The fair value of these free-standing derivatives was determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of the Extended Interest Rate Locks were assets of $69.0 million and $69.8 million, respectively, which were included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps were liabilities of $96.4 million and $99.7 million, respectively, which were included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized gains of $9.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of the Extended Interest Rate Locks with offsetting losses of $9.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses of $4.6 million and gains of $74.8 million on the change in fair value of the Extended Interest Rate Locks with offsetting gains of $3.3 million and losses of $73.1 million respectively on the change in fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps. The changes in fair value were recorded directly in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Tax-Exempt Financings

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had $1,182.2 million and $1,182.0 million of certain variable rate tax-exempt financings outstanding, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2051.

All of our tax-exempt financings are remarketed either quarterly or semiannually by remarketing agents to effectively maintain a variable yield. The holders of the bonds can put them back to the remarketing agents at the end of each interest period. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket our bonds, the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. In the event of a failed remarketing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund these bonds until they are remarketed successfully. Accordingly, we classified these borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Finance Leases

As of June 30, 2023, we had finance lease liabilities of $252.2 million with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2063. As of December 31, 2022, we had finance lease liabilities of $247.5 million with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2063.

8. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.3% and 26.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 22.2% and 23.8%, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash paid for income taxes was $88.0 million and $78.9 million, respectively.

We have deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards. We provide a partial valuation allowance due to uncertainty surrounding the future utilization of these carryforwards in the taxing jurisdictions where the loss carryforwards exist. When determining the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial results, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The realization of our deferred tax asset for state loss carryforwards ultimately depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income in the appropriate state taxing jurisdictions in future periods. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent such evidence can be objectively verified. We continue to regularly monitor both positive and negative evidence in determining the ongoing need for a valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2023, the valuation allowance associated with our state loss carryforwards was approximately $42.7 million.

We are subject to income tax in the United States, as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Our compliance with income tax rules and regulations is periodically audited by taxing authorities. These authorities may challenge the positions taken in our tax filings. Thus, to provide for certain potential tax exposures, we maintain liabilities for uncertain tax positions for our estimate of the final outcome of these examinations. The federal statute of limitations applicable to our federal tax returns has passed for all years prior to 2015. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years 2015 through 2017. In addition, we are currently under state examination or administrative review in various state jurisdictions for tax years 2012 through 2020.

We believe the recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions are adequate. However, a significant assessment against us in excess of the liabilities recorded could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. As of June 30, 2023, we are unable to estimate the resolution of our gross unrecognized benefits over the next 12 months.

We recognize interest and penalties as incurred within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2023, we accrued a liability for penalties of $0.3 million and a liability for interest (including interest on penalties) of $17.5 million related to our uncertain tax positions.

9. STOCK REPURCHASES, DIVIDENDS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Available Shares

We currently have approximately 11.6 million shares of common stock reserved for future grants under the Republic Services, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan.

Stock Repurchases

In October 2020, our Board of Directors approved a $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization effective starting January 1, 2021 and extending through December 31, 2023. Share repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. While the Board of Directors has approved the program, the timing of any purchases, the prices and the number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by our management, at its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews the intrinsic value of our stock and the parameters around which we repurchase our shares. The share repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Stock repurchase activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, no repurchased shares were pending settlement. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining authorized purchase capacity under our October 2020 repurchase program was $1.5 billion.

Dividends

In April 2023, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.495 per share. Cash dividends declared were $313.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we recorded a quarterly dividend payable of $156.6 million to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 3, 2023.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares (including vested but unissued restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which include, where appropriate, the unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) and the unvested performance stock units (PSUs) at the expected attainment levels. We use the treasury stock method in computing diluted earnings per share.

Fair Value Measurements

In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3). We also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate.

The carrying value for certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, current investments, accounts payable and certain other accrued liabilities, approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Total Debt

The carrying value of our total debt was $12.1 billion and $11.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the fair value of our total debt was $11.5 billion and $11.1 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of our fixed rate senior notes and debentures is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of our remaining notes payable, tax-exempt financings and borrowings under our credit facilities approximates the carrying value because the interest rates are variable. The fair value estimates were based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 7, Debt, for further information related to our debt.

Contingent Consideration

In 2015, we entered into a waste management contract with the County of Sonoma, California to operate the county's waste management facilities. As of June 30, 2023, the Sonoma contingent consideration represents the fair value of $59.7 million payable to the County of Sonoma based on the achievement of future annual tonnage targets through the expected remaining

The potential undiscounted amount of all future contingent payments that we could be required to make under the waste management contract is estimated to be between approximately $78 million and $113 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the activity in the contingent consideration liability included accretion, which was offset by concession payments made in the ordinary course of business. There were no changes to the estimate of fair value.

Our senior management evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of our operations through three field groups, referred to as Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the western United States. Group 2 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the southeastern and mid-western United States, the eastern seaboard of the United States, and Canada. Group 3 is our environmental solutions business operating primarily in geographic areas located across the United States and Canada. These groups are presented below as our reportable segments, which each provide integrated environmental services, including but not limited to collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal.

Intercompany revenue reflects transactions within and between segments that generally are made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of such services. Capital expenditures for Corporate entities and other primarily include vehicle inventory acquired but not yet assigned to operating locations and facilities.

National Accounts revenue included in Corporate entities and other represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide and regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Corporate functions include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, closed landfills, and other administrative functions.

Revenue and overhead costs of Corporate entities and other are either specifically assigned or allocated on a rational and consistent basis among our reportable segments to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This presentation is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker reviews results of operations to make resource allocation decisions.

Net Adjusted EBITDA reflects the allocation of Revenue and Gross Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate entities and other to our reportable segments. As presented in the tables below, Adjusted EBITDA reflects certain adjustments for US Ecology, Inc., acquisition, integration and deal costs, (income) losses from unconsolidated equity method investments, losses on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to withdrawal liabilities for a multiemployer pension fund and restructuring expenses.

13. REVENUE AND CREDIT LOSSES

Our operations primarily consist of providing environmental services. The following table disaggregates our revenue by service line for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

Other non-core revenue consists primarily of revenue from National Accounts, which represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide or regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

Environmental solutions revenue includes revenue generated by US Ecology following our acquisition of the business on May 2, 2022.

See Note 12, Segment Reporting, for additional information regarding revenue by reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition

Our service obligations of a long-term nature, e.g., certain collection service contracts, are satisfied over time, and we recognize revenue based on the value provided to the customer during the period. The amount billed to the customer is based on variable elements such as the number of residential homes or businesses for which collection services are provided, the volume of material collected, treated, transported and disposed, and the nature of the material accepted. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts as our right to consideration corresponds directly to the value provided to the customer for services completed to date and all future variable consideration is allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

Additionally, certain elements of our long-term customer contracts are unknown upon entering into the contract, including the amount that will be billed in accordance with annual price escalation clauses, our fuel recovery fee program and commodity prices. The amount to be billed is often tied to changes in an underlying base index such as a consumer price index or a fuel or commodity index, and revenue can be recognized once the index is established for the period.

Environmental solutions revenue is primarily generated from the fees we charge for the collection, treatment, consolidation, disposal and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, field and industrial services, equipment rental, emergency response and standby services and in-plant services, such as transportation and logistics, including at our transfer, storage and

disposal facilities (TSDF). Activity for this service line varies across markets and reflects the regulatory environment, pricing and disposal alternatives available in any given market. Revenue recognized is variable in nature and primarily based on the volume and type of waste accepted or processed during the period. For certain field and industrial services contracts, we have a right to consideration from our customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company's performance completed to date. Therefore, we have applied the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice.

Deferred Revenue

The factors that impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized for each service line may vary based on the nature of the service performed. Generally, we recognize revenue at the time we perform a service. In the event that we bill for services in advance of performance, we recognize deferred revenue for the amount billed and subsequently recognize revenue at the time the service is provided. Depending on the nature of the contract, we may also generate revenue through the collection of fuel recovery fees and environmental fees which are designed to recover our internal costs of providing services to our customers.

Substantially all of the deferred revenue recognized as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 when the service was performed.

Deferred Contract Costs

We incur certain upfront payments to acquire customer contracts which are recognized as other assets in our consolidated balance sheet, and we amortize the asset over the respective contract life. In addition, we recognize sales commissions that represent an incremental cost of the contract as other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, and we amortize the asset over the average life of the customer relationship. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized $81.5 million and $80.2 million, respectively, of deferred contract costs and capitalized sales commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we amortized $3.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of capitalized sales commissions to selling, general and administrative expenses and we amortized $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of other deferred contract costs as a reduction of revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we amortized $3.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of capitalized sales commissions to selling, general and administrative expenses and we amortized $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of other deferred contract costs as a reduction of revenue.

Credit Losses

Accounts receivable represent receivables from customers for environmental services, including collection and processing of recyclable materials, collection, transfer, and disposal of solid waste, and other environmental solutions. Our receivables are recorded when billed or when the related revenue is earned and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of our receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits, represents their estimated net realizable value.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors including the age of receivables outstanding, historical trends, economic conditions and other information. We also review outstanding balances on an account-specific basis based on the credit risk of the customer. We determined that all of our accounts receivable share similar risk characteristics. We monitor our credit exposure on an ongoing basis and assess whether assets in the pool continue to display similar risk characteristics. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, but generally do not require collateral to support customer receivables.

The following table reflects the activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	2023		2022
Balance at beginning of year	$	51.9	$	38.5
Additions charged to expense	19.7		17.2

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and have implemented safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of our business, we become involved in legal proceedings. Some may result in fines, penalties or judgments against us, or settlements, which may impact earnings and cash flows for a particular period. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any legal matter with certainty, we do .not believe the outcome of any of our pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As used herein, the term legal proceedings refers to litigation and similar claims against us and our subsidiaries, excluding: (1) ordinary course accidents, general commercial liability and workers' compensation claims, which are covered by insurance programs, subject to customary deductibles, and which, together with insured employee health care costs, are discussed in Note 5, Other Liabilities; and (2) environmental remediation liabilities, which are discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs.

We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We have recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $12 million relating to our outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2023. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we can reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur regarding such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. If we had used the high ends of such ranges, our aggregate potential liability would be approximately $7 million higher than the amount recorded as of June 30, 2023.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We participate in multiemployer pension plans that generally provide retirement benefits to participants of contributing employers. We do not administer these plans.

Under current law regarding multiemployer pension plans, our withdrawal (which we consider from time to time) or the mass withdrawal from any under-funded multiemployer pension plan (each, a Withdrawal Event) could require us to make payments to the plan for our proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested liabilities. During the course of operating our business, we incur Withdrawal Events regarding certain of the multiemployer pension plans in which we participate. We accrue for such events when losses become probable and reasonably estimable.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents

Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the statement of cash flows is reconciled as follows:

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	181.6	$	143.4	$	119.4	$	29.0

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents	$	273.0	$	214.3	$	183.7	$	105.6

Our restricted cash and marketable securities includes amounts pledged to regulatory agencies and governmental entities as financial guarantees of our performance under certain collection, landfill and transfer station contracts and permits, and relating to our final capping, closure and post-closure obligations at our landfills as well as restricted cash and marketable securities related to our insurance obligations.

We have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations, other than short-term operating leases and financial assurances, which are not classified as debt. We have no transactions or obligations with related parties that are not disclosed, consolidated into or reflected in our reported financial position or results of operations. We have not guaranteed any third-party debt.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, you should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking information about us that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “guidance,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “should,” “can,” “likely,” “could,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, information appearing in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes forward-looking statements. These statements include information about our plans, strategies, and expectations of future financial performance and prospects. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to be correct. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements are our ability to integrate the operations of US Ecology, Inc. (US Ecology) into our operations and to realize the intended benefits of such acquisition, as well as acts of war, riots or terrorism, and the impact of these acts on economic, financial and social conditions in the United States, as well as our dependence on large, long-term collection, transfer and disposal contracts. More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, new risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, or to assess the impact such risk factors might have on our business. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Updated Full-Year 2023 Adjusted Earnings Per Share Guidance

The following is a summary of anticipated adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

	(Anticipated) Year Ending December 31, 2023
Diluted earnings per share	$ 5.17 to 5.22
Restructuring charges	0.08
US Ecology, Inc. acquisition integration and deal costs	0.08
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$ 5.33 to 5.38

We believe that presenting adjusted diluted earnings per share provides an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use this measure, and believe investors will find it 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. Our definition of adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The guidance set forth above constitutes forward-looking information and is not a guarantee of future performance. The guidance is based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and is subject to significant risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those shown above. See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Republic is one of the largest providers of environmental services in the United States, as measured by revenue. As of June 30, 2023, we operated across the United States and Canada through 360 collection operations, 246 transfer stations, 74 recycling centers, 208 active landfills, 3 treatment, recovery and disposal facilities, 20 treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDF), 6 salt water disposal wells and 7 deep injection wells. We are engaged in 73 landfill gas-to-energy and renewable energy projects and had post-closure responsibility for 126 closed landfills as of June 30, 2023.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 14.5% to $7,307.0 million compared to $6,383.7 million for the same period in 2022. This change in revenue is due to increased revenue from acquisitions, net of divestitures of 7.5%, increases in average yield of 6.2%, volume of 0.9%, fuel recovery fees of 0.4%, and environmental solutions revenue of 0.4%. Additionally, revenue increased 0.2% due to one additional workday in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in recycling processing and commodity sales of 1.1%.

The following table summarizes our revenue, expenses and operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

We believe that presenting adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax impact, adjusted net income – Republic, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are not measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides 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. Our definitions of adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax impact, adjusted net income – Republic, and adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further information on each of these adjustments is included below.

Restructuring charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring charges of $15.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring charges of $5.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Of the 2023 charges, $9.4 million related to the early termination of certain leases and $6.1 million related to the redesign of our asset management, and customer and order management software systems. The 2022 charges primarily related to the redesign of our general ledger, budgeting and procurement enterprise resource planning systems, which was completed with the systems being placed into production in 2022. We paid $26.1 million, of which $15.8 million related to the termination of one of our building leases, and $8.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to these restructuring efforts.

33

During the remainder of 2023, we expect to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $15 million, primarily related to the continued redesign of our asset management, and customer and order management software systems. Substantially all of these restructuring charges will be recorded in Corporate entities and other.

Adjustment to withdrawal liability for a multiemployer pension fund. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $2.2 million of withdrawal costs from a multiemployer pension plan.

US Ecology, Inc. acquisition integration and deal costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred acquisition integration and deal costs of $10.6 million and $18.2 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred acquisition integration and deal costs of $51.9 million and $56.6 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology, which included certain costs to close the acquisition and integrate the business, including stock compensation expense for unvested awards at closing as well as severance and change-in-control payments. The acquisition closed on May 2, 2022.

In 2023, we expect to incur additional costs of approximately $15 million to integrate the US Ecology business, primarily related to the integration of certain software systems as well as rebranding the business. We expect to be substantially complete with our integration activities by the end of 2023.

Loss on extinguishment of debt and other related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the early repayment of a portion of our Term Loan Facility. We incurred non-cash charges related to the proportional share of unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not incur any losses on extinguishment of debt.

Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue by providing environmental services to our customers, including the collection and processing of recyclable materials, the collection, transfer and disposal of solid waste, and other environmental solutions. Our residential, small-container and large-container collection operations in some markets are based on long-term contracts with municipalities. Certain of our municipal contracts have annual price escalation clauses that are tied to changes in an underlying base index such as a consumer price index. We generally provide small-container and large-container collection services to customers under contracts with terms up to three years. Our transfer stations and landfills generate revenue from disposal or tipping fees charged to third parties. Our recycling centers generate revenue from tipping fees charged to third parties and the sale of recycled commodities. Our revenue from environmental solutions consists mainly of fees we charge for disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous solid and liquid material and in-plant services, such as transportation and logistics, including at our TSDFs, and onsite services such as high-pressure cleaning, tank cleaning, decontamination, remediation, transportation, spill cleanup, and emergency response at refineries, chemical, steel, and automotive plants, and other governmental, commercial, and industrial facilities. Other non-core revenue consists primarily of revenue from National Accounts, which represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide or regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

Core price	7.3	%	6.2	%	7.7	%	6.1	%

Average yield is defined as revenue growth from the change in average price per unit of service, expressed as a percentage. Core price is defined as price increases to our customers and fees, excluding fuel recovery fees, net of price decreases to retain customers. We also measure changes in core price, average yield and volume as a percentage of related-business revenue, defined as total revenue excluding recycled commodities, fuel recovery fees and environmental solutions revenue, to determine the effectiveness of our pricing and organic growth strategies.

35

The following table reflects core price, average yield and volume as a percentage of related-business revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	As a % of Related Business				As a % of Related Business
Core price	8.8	%	6.7	%	9.1	%	6.6	%
Average yield	7.1	%	5.4	%	7.3	%	5.0	%
Volume	0.5	%	2.6	%	1.1	%	3.2	%

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we experienced the following changes in our revenue as compared to the same periods in 2022:

•Average yield increased revenue by 5.9% and 6.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to price increases in all lines of business.

•The fuel recovery fee program, which mitigates our exposure to increases in fuel prices, decreased revenue by 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to a decrease in fuel prices compared to the same period in 2022.

The fuel recovery fee is invoiced based on prior month fuel pricing, creating a timing difference between changes in fuel prices and recognition in our financial results. Fuel prices decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022; however, due to the timing difference created by the invoicing process, the fuel recovery fee program increased revenue by 0.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•Volume increased revenue by 0.4% and 0.9% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to volume growth in our landfill, small-container and residential lines of business. The volume increase in our landfill line of business is primarily attributable to increased special waste and solid waste volumes. These increases were partially offset by volume declines in our transfer, large-container, and construction and demolition landfill lines of business.

•Revenue increased by 0.2% due to one additional workday during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, which drove an increase in volumes in our large-container collection, landfill and transfer lines of business.

•Recycling processing and commodity sales decreased revenue by 1.1% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to a decrease in overall commodity prices as compared to the same periods in 2022. The average price for recycled commodities, excluding glass and organics, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $119 and $112 per ton, respectively, compared to $218 and $210 per ton for the same respective periods in 2022.

Changing market demand for recycled commodities causes volatility in commodity prices. At current volumes and mix of materials, we believe a $10 per ton change in the price of recycled commodities would change both annual revenue and operating income by approximately $10 million.

•Environmental solutions revenue increased by 0.2% and 0.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to an increase in volumes, including those driven by an increase in rig counts, as well as price increases.

•Acquisitions, net of divestitures, increased revenue by 4.4% and 7.5% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, reflecting the results of our continued growth strategy of acquiring solid waste, recycling, and environmental services companies that complement and expand our existing business platform.

Cost of Operations

Cost of operations includes labor and related benefits, which consists of salaries and wages, health and welfare benefits, incentive compensation and payroll taxes. It also includes transfer and disposal costs representing tipping fees paid to third party disposal facilities and transfer stations; maintenance and repairs relating to our vehicles, equipment and containers, including related labor and benefit costs; transportation and subcontractor costs, which include costs for independent haulers that transport our waste to disposal facilities and costs for local operators that provide waste handling services associated with our National Accounts in markets outside our standard operating areas; fuel, which includes the direct cost of fuel used by our vehicles, net of fuel tax credits; disposal fees and taxes, consisting of landfill taxes, host community fees and royalties; landfill operating costs, which includes financial assurance, leachate disposal, remediation charges and other landfill maintenance costs; risk management costs, which include insurance premiums and claims; cost of goods sold, which includes material costs paid to

36

suppliers; and other, which includes expenses such as facility operating costs, equipment rent and gains or losses on sale of assets used in our operations.

The following table summarizes the major components of our cost of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023				2022				2023				2022
Labor and related benefits	$	750.8	20.1	%	$	670.3	19.6	%	$	1,488.9	20.4	%	$	1,279.2	20.1	%
Transfer and disposal costs	270.3		7.3		253.3		7.4		519.9		7.1		466.3		7.3

US Ecology, Inc. acquisition integration and deal costs	—		—		1.0		—		—		—		1.0		—
Total cost of operations	$	2,224.4	59.7	%	$	2,065.7	60.5	%	$	4,393.8	60.1	%	$	3,829.4	60.0	%

These cost categories may change from time to time and may not be comparable to similarly titled categories presented by other companies. As such, you should take care when comparing our cost of operations by component to that of other companies and of ours for prior periods.

The most significant items impacting our cost of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:

•Labor and related benefits increased due to higher hourly and salaried wages as a result of annual merit increases, volume-related growth, and one additional workday in 2023. Acquisition-related growth also contributed to the increase in labor and related benefits.

•Transfer and disposal costs increased in aggregate dollars primarily due to acquisition-related growth. Transfer and disposal costs also increased in aggregate dollars as a result of higher collection volumes.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 approximately 68% of the total solid waste volume we collected was disposed at landfill sites that we owned or operated (internalization).

•Maintenance and repairs expense increased due to higher hourly wages as a result of annual merit increases, an increase in third-party maintenance, parts inflation, volume-related growth, and one additional workday in 2023. Acquisition-related growth also contributed to the increase in maintenance and repairs expense in aggregate dollars.

•Transportation and subcontract costs increased in aggregate dollars due to increases in transportation rates. Acquisition-related growth also contributed to the increase in aggregate dollars in transportation and subcontract costs.

•Our fuel costs decreased due to a decrease in the average diesel fuel cost per gallon. The national average diesel fuel cost per gallon for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.94 and $4.18, respectively, as compared to $5.49 and $4.87, respectively, for the same periods in 2022.

At current consumption levels, we believe a twenty-cent per gallon change in the price of diesel fuel would change our fuel costs by approximately $27 million per year. Offsetting these changes in fuel expense would be changes in our fuel recovery fee charged to our customers. At current participation rates, a twenty-cent per gallon change in the price of diesel fuel would change our fuel recovery fee by approximately $31 million per year.

•Landfill operating costs increased primarily due to increased leachate transportation and disposal costs due in part to increased rainfall in select geographic regions, as well as certain favorable remediation adjustments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 which did not recur in 2023.

•Risk management expenses increased primarily due to unfavorable actuarial developments in our automotive programs as well as higher premium costs.

•Other costs of operations increased due to increased occupancy and facility related expenses, acquisition-related activity, and higher third-party truck and equipment rentals to support higher volumes.

Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion of Property and Equipment

The following table summarizes depreciation, amortization and depletion of property and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023				2022				2023				2022
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment	$	214.5	5.8	%	$	197.0	5.8	%	$	430.1	5.9	%	$	389.6	6.1	%
Landfill depletion and amortization	112.3		3.0		114.5		3.4		225.0		3.1		211.5		3.3
Depreciation, amortization and depletion expense	$	326.8	8.8	%	$	311.5	9.1	%	$	655.1	9.0	%	$	601.1	9.4	%

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased in aggregate dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to assets added through acquisitions.

Landfill depletion and amortization expense increased in aggregate dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher landfill disposal volumes primarily driven by special waste and solid waste volumes coupled with an increase in our overall average depletion rate. These increases were partially offset by favorable amortization adjustments related to the asset retirement obligations at certain of our landfills during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

Amortization of other intangible assets primarily relates to customer relationships and, to a lesser extent, non-compete agreements. Expenses for amortization of other intangible assets were $14.9 million and $30.1 million, or 0.4% of revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $13.7 million and $23.7 million, or 0.4% of revenue, for the same respective periods in 2022. Amortization expense increased due to assets added through acquisition activity.

Amortization of Other Assets

Our other assets primarily relate to the prepayment of fees and capitalized implementation costs associated with cloud-based hosting arrangements. Expenses for amortization of other assets were $16.6 million and $31.8 million, or 0.4% of revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $12.4 million and $23.1 million, or 0.4% of revenue, for the same respective periods in 2022.

Accretion Expense

Accretion expense was $24.5 million and $48.6 million, or 0.7% of revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $22.4 million and $44.1 million, or 0.7% of revenue, for the same respective periods in 2022. Accretion expense increased in aggregate dollars primarily due to asset retirement obligations assumed in connection with acquisitions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, health and welfare benefits, and incentive compensation for corporate and field general management, field support functions, sales force, accounting and finance, legal, management information systems, and clerical and administrative departments. Other expenses include rent and office costs, fees for professional services provided by third parties, legal settlements, marketing, investor and community relations services, directors’ and officers’ insurance, general employee relocation, travel, entertainment and bank charges. Restructuring charges are excluded from selling, general and administrative expenses and are discussed separately.

The following table summarizes our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

These cost categories may change from time to time and may not be comparable to similarly titled categories presented by other companies. As such, you should take care when comparing our selling, general and administrative expenses by cost component to those of other companies and of ours for prior periods.

The most significant items affecting our selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:

•Salaries and related benefits increased primarily due to higher wages and benefits resulting from annual merit increases. Acquisition-related growth also contributed to the growth in salaries and related benefits in aggregate dollars.

•Provision for doubtful accounts increased in aggregate dollars primarily due to acquisition-related activity. As of June 30, 2023, our days sales outstanding were 42.5, or 31.1 days net of deferred revenue, compared to 44.1, or 32.9 days net of deferred revenue, as of June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, our days sales outstanding for our recycling and solid waste business was 37.9, or 25.9 net of deferred revenue, compared to 38.4, or 26.8 days net of deferred revenue, as of June 30, 2022.

•Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, due to both an increase in meeting and travel costs and acquisition-related growth.

•We incurred various acquisition integration and deal costs in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, these charges totaled $10.6 million and $18.2 million, respectively, compared to $50.9 million and $55.6 million during the same respective periods in 2022. The 2023 costs primarily related to the integration of certain software systems as well as rebranding the business, while the 2022 costs included certain costs to close the acquisition.

Restructuring Charges

For a discussion of Restructuring Charges incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, see "Overview" of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations..

Interest Expense

The following table provides the components of interest expense, including accretion of debt discounts and accretion of discounts primarily associated with environmental and risk insurance liabilities assumed in acquisitions, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest expense on debt	$	105.6	$	75.7	$	208.4	$	141.0
Non-cash interest	20.4		18.9		45.1		37.7
Less: capitalized interest	(1.6)		(0.6)		(2.4)		(1.2)
Total interest expense	$	124.4	$	94.0	$	251.1	$	177.5

Total interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased primarily due to additional outstanding debt on our term loan and revolving lines of credit used to fund the purchase of US Ecology and higher interest rates on our floating rate debt. The increase attributable to our fixed rate debt is primarily due to the issuance of additional senior notes used to refinance amounts outstanding under our Credit Facilities and for general corporate purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, cash paid for interest, excluding net swap settlements for our fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, was $203.6 million and $130.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $2,868.8 million of principal floating rate debt including interest rate swap contracts. If interest rates increased or decreased by 100 basis points on our variable rate debt, annualized interest expense and net cash payments for interest would increase or decrease by approximately $25 million.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.3% and 26.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 22.2% and 23.8%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects benefits from investments in solar energy assets qualifying for tax credits under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Net cash paid for income taxes was $88.0 million and $78.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Reportable Segments

Our senior management evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of our operations through three field groups, referred to as Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the western United States. Group 2 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the southeastern and mid-western United States and the eastern seaboard of the United States, and Canada. Group 3 is our environmental solutions business operating primarily in geographic areas located across the United States and Canada. These groups are presented below as our reportable segments, which each provide integrated environmental services, including but not limited to collection, transfer, recycling and disposal.

Corporate entities and other include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, closed landfills, and other administrative functions. National Accounts revenue included in Corporate entities and other represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide and regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2023and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue in the case of adjusted EBITDA margin) follows. For totals as well as further detail regarding our reportable segments and the adjustments used to calculate gross Adjusted EBITDA, net Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin for each segment, see Note 12, Segment Reporting, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Significant changes in the revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins of our reportable segments comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are discussed below.

Group 1

Net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 7.4% and 8.4%, respectively, due to an increase in average yield in all lines of business and volume in our collection and landfill lines of business, partially offset by volume declines in our transfer line of business. The increase in landfill volume was attributable to an increase in special waste, solid waste and construction and demolition volumes. Revenue also increased due to acquisition-related growth.

Adjusted EBITDA in Group 1 increased in aggregate dollars from $509.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or a 33.0% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $527.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or a 31.8% adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA in Group 1 increased in aggregate dollars from $980.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or a 32.9% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $1,016.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, or a 31.4% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by an increase in labor costs, higher third party maintenance costs due to inflationary pressures and a decrease in recycled commodity prices. The unfavorable impact was partially offset by decreases in fuel costs due to a decrease in average fuel cost per gallon.

Group 2

Net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 6.0% and 8.7%, respectively, due to an increase in average yield in all lines of business. Additionally, volume increased in our landfill and small-container collection lines of

41

business, partially offset by declines in our large-container, residential and transfer lines of business. The increase in landfill volume was primarily attributable to an increase in special waste volume, which was partially offset by a decline in construction and demolition volume. Revenue also increased due to acquisition-related growth.

Adjusted EBITDA in Group 2 increased in aggregate dollars from $449.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or a 28.5% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $499.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or a 29.9% adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA in Group 2 increased in aggregate dollars from $867.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or a 28.9% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $964.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, or a 29.5% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was favorably impacted by a decrease in fuel costs due to a decrease in average fuel cost per gallon and effective management of disposal costs. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was partially offset by higher third party maintenance costs due to inflationary pressures and a decrease in recycled commodity prices.

Group 3

Net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased due to acquisition-related growth, specifically the acquisition of US Ecology.

Adjusted EBITDA in Group 3 increased in aggregate dollars from $50.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or a 17.1% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $89.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, or a 22.5% adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA in Group 3 increased in aggregate dollars from $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or a 16.4% adjusted EBITDA margin, to $175.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, or a 21.7% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased primarily due to favorable pricing, acquisition-related growth and realized cost synergies associated with the US Ecology acquisition.

Landfill and Environmental Matters

Available Airspace

As of June 30, 2023, we owned or operated 208 active landfills with total available disposal capacity estimated to be 5.1 billion in-place cubic yards. For these landfills, the following table reflects changes in capacity and remaining capacity, as measured in cubic yards of airspace:

	Balance as of December 31, 2022	New Expansions Undertaken	Landfills Acquired, Net of Divestitures	Permits Granted / New Sites, Net of Closures	Airspace Consumed	Changes in Engineering Estimates	Balance as of June 30, 2023
Cubic yards (in millions):
Permitted airspace	4,816.8	—	8.3	28.4	(42.8)	1.5	4,812.2
Probable expansion airspace	197.5	124.5	—	(20.1)	—		301.9
Total cubic yards (in millions)	5,014.3	124.5	8.3	8.3	(42.8)	1.5	5,114.1
Number of sites:
Permitted airspace	206	—	2	—			208
Probable expansion airspace	13	3	—	(1)			15

Total available disposal capacity represents the sum of estimated permitted airspace plus an estimate of probable expansion airspace. Engineers develop these estimates at least annually using information provided by annual aerial surveys. Before airspace included in an expansion area is determined to be probable expansion airspace and, therefore, included in our calculation of total available disposal capacity, it must meet all of our expansion criteria.

As of June 30, 2023, 15 of our landfills met all of our criteria for including their probable expansion airspace in their total available disposal capacity. At projected annual volumes, these 15 landfills have an estimated remaining average site life of 48 years, including probable expansion airspace. The average estimated remaining life of all of our landfills is 59 years. We have other expansion opportunities that are not included in our total available airspace because they do not meet all of our criteria for treatment as probable expansion airspace.

Remediation and Other Charges for Landfill Matters

It is reasonably possible that we will need to adjust our accrued landfill and environmental liabilities to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent that such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions.

42

Future changes in our estimates of the costs, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For a description of our significant remediation matters, see Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Material Cash Requirements and Intended Uses of Cash

We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities, cash flows from operations and financing activities to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Our known current- and long-term uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) capital expenditures and leases; (2) acquisitions; (3) dividend payments; (4) repayments to service debt and other long-term obligations; (5) payments for asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities; and (6) share repurchases.

We may choose to voluntarily retire certain portions of our outstanding debt before their maturity dates using cash from operations or additional borrowings. We may also explore opportunities in the capital markets to fund redemptions should market conditions be favorable. Early extinguishment of debt will result in an impairment charge in the period in which the debt is repaid. The loss on early extinguishment of debt relates to premiums paid to effectuate the repurchase and the relative portion of unamortized note discounts and debt issue costs.

Acquisitions

Our acquisition growth strategy focuses primarily on acquiring privately held recycling and solid waste companies and environmental solutions businesses that complement our existing business platform. We continue to invest in value-enhancing acquisitions in existing markets.

We expect to invest at least $1.0 billion in acquisitions in 2023.

Commercial Paper Program

In 2022, we entered into a commercial paper program for the issuance and sale of unsecured commercial paper in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1.0 billion outstanding at any one time (the Commercial Paper Cap). As of June 30, 2023, we had $750.0 million principal value of commercial paper issued and outstanding under the program, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.287% and weighted average maturity of 11 days.

Summary of Cash Flow Activity

The major components of changes in cash flows are discussed in the following paragraphs. The following table summarizes our cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	1,766.2	$	1,563.2
Cash Used in Investing Activities	$	(1,674.3)	$	(3,283.9)
Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(33.7)	$	1,798.9

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

We use cash flows from operations to fund capital expenditures and leases, acquisitions, dividend payments, share repurchases, interest payments and repayments of debt and other long-term obligations, and payments for asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities.

The most significant items affecting the comparison of our cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below.

Changes in assets and liabilities, net of effects from business acquisitions and divestitures, increased our cash flow from operations by $70.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a decrease of $2.0 million during the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the following:

•Our accounts receivable, exclusive of the change in allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits, increased $52.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the timing of billings net of collections, compared to a $150.4 million increase in the same period in 2022. As of June 30, 2023, our days sales outstanding were 42.5, or 31.1 days net of deferred revenue, compared to 44.1, or 32.9 days net of deferred revenue, as of June 30, 2022.

•Our prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $138.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a $72.6 million decrease in the same period in 2022, primarily driven by a decrease of tax receivables due to the timing of our estimated tax payments. Cash paid for incomes taxes was $88.0 million and $78.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

•Our accounts payable increased $35.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a $167.1 million increase in the same period in 2022, due to the timing of payments.

44

•Cash paid for capping, closure and post-closure obligations was $24.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $18.0 million in the same period in 2022. The increase in cash paid for capping, closure, and post-closure obligations is primarily due to the timing of capping and post-closure payments at certain of our landfill sites.

•Cash paid for remediation obligations was $0.1 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

In addition, cash paid for interest, excluding net swap settlements for our fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, was $203.6 million and $130.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

The most significant items affecting the comparison of our cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:

•Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $714.3 million, compared with $647.3 million for the same period in 2022.

•During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we paid $987.7 million and $2,655.0 million, respectively, for acquisitions and investments.

We intend to finance future capital expenditures and acquisitions through cash on hand, restricted cash held for capital expenditures, cash flows from operations, our revolving credit facilities, and tax-exempt bonds and other financings. We expect to primarily use cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities to pay for future business acquisitions.

Cash Flows (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities

The most significant items affecting the comparison of our cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:

•Net proceeds from notes payable and long-term debt and senior notes were $297.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net proceeds of $2,312.0 million in the same period in 2022.

•During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock, compared to repurchases of 1.6 million shares for $203.5 million during the same period in 2022.

•Dividends paid were $313.0 million and $291.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Financial Condition

Debt Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, we had $152.8 million of principal debt maturing within the next 12 months, which includes certain finance lease obligations. All of our tax-exempt financings are remarketed either quarterly or semiannually by remarketing agents to effectively maintain a variable yield. The holders of the bonds can put them back to the remarketing agents at the end of each interest period. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket our bonds, the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. In the event of a failed remarketing, as of June 30, 2023, we had availability under our $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to fund these bonds until they are remarketed successfully. In the event of a failed re-borrowing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund the commercial paper program until it is re-borrowed successfully. Accordingly, we have classified these tax-exempt financings and commercial paper program borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

For further discussion of the components of our overall debt, see Note 7, Debt, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Credit Facilities

Uncommitted Credit Facility

In January 2022, we entered into a $200.0 million unsecured uncommitted revolving credit facility (the Uncommitted Credit Facility). The Uncommitted Credit Facility bears interest at an annual percentage rate to be agreed upon by both parties. Borrowings under the Uncommitted Credit Facility can be used for working capital, letters of credit, and other general corporate purposes. The agreement governing our Uncommitted Credit Facility requires us to comply with certain covenants. The Uncommitted Credit Facility may be terminated by either party at any time. As of June 30, 2023 we had $54.6 million of borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility.

45

The Credit Facility

In August 2021, we entered into a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). Borrowings under the Credit Facility mature in August 2026. As permitted by the Credit Facility, we have the right to request two one-year extensions of the maturity date, but none of the lenders are committed to participate in such extensions. The Credit Facility also includes a feature that allows us to increase availability, at our option, by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders.

In February 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility (the Credit Facility Amendment) to add our subsidiary, USE Canada Holdings, Inc. (the Canadian Borrower), as an additional borrower under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility Amendment provides that the aggregate of (i) all loans to the Canadian Borrower and (ii) all loans denominated in Canadian dollars cannot exceed $500 million (the Canadian Sublimit). The Canadian Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility in United States dollars bear interest at a Base Rate, a daily floating SOFR or a term SOFR plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings (all as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). The Canadian dollar-denominated loans bear interest based on the Canadian Prime rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings. As of June 30, 2023, C$232 million was outstanding against the Canadian Sublimit, with an interest rate of 6.007%.

The Credit Facility is subject to facility fees based on applicable rates defined in the Credit Facility agreement and the aggregate commitment, regardless of usage. The Credit Facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility agreement requires us to comply with financial and other covenants. We may pay dividends and repurchase common stock if we are in compliance with these covenants.

We had $175.1 million (all related to Canadian-denominated loans) and $250.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We had $336.5 million and $347.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also had $750.0 million and $1.0 billion of principal borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As a result, availability under our Credit Facility was $1,738.4 million and $1,402.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Financial and Other Covenants

The Credit Facility requires us to comply with financial and other covenants. To the extent we are not in compliance with these covenants, we cannot pay dividends or repurchase common stock. Compliance with covenants also is a condition for any incremental borrowings under the Credit Facility, and failure to meet these covenants would enable the lenders to require repayment of any outstanding loans (which would adversely affect our liquidity). The Credit Facility provides that our total debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. In the case of an "elevated ratio period", which may be elected by us if one or more acquisitions during a fiscal quarter involve aggregate consideration in excess of $200.0 million (the Trigger Quarter), the total debt to EBITDA ratio may not exceed 4.25 to 1.00 during the Trigger Quarter and for the three fiscal quarters thereafter. The Credit Facility also provides that there may not be more than two elevated ratio periods during the term of the Credit Facility agreement. As of June 30, 2023, our total debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.97 compared to the 3.75 maximum allowed by the covenants. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under our Credit Facility, and we expect to be in compliance throughout the remainder of 2023.

EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is calculated as defined in our Credit Facility agreement. In this context, EBITDA is used solely to provide information regarding the extent to which we are in compliance with debt covenants and is not comparable to EBITDA used by other companies or used by us for other purposes.

Failure to comply with the financial and other covenants under the Credit Facility, as well as the occurrence of certain material adverse events, would constitute defaults and would allow the lenders under the Credit Facility to accelerate the maturity of all indebtedness under the Credit Facility. This could have an adverse effect on the availability of financial assurances. In addition, maturity acceleration on the Credit Facility constitutes an event of default under our other debt and derivative instruments, including our senior notes, and, therefore, our senior notes would also be subject to acceleration of maturity. If such acceleration were to occur, we would not have sufficient liquidity available to repay the indebtedness. We would likely have to seek an amendment under the Credit Facility for relief from the financial covenant or repay the debt with proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity, or asset sales, if necessary. We may be unable to amend the Credit Facility or raise sufficient capital to repay such obligations in the event the maturity is accelerated.

Term Loan Facility

On April 29, 2022, we entered into the $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 29, 2025 and bears interest at a base rate or a forward-looking SOFR, plus an applicable margin based on our debt ratings. The current

46

weighted average interest rate is 6.002%. We may prepay, without penalty, all or any part of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility at any time.

On May 2, 2022, we completed the acquisition of US Ecology using proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and borrowings under the Credit Facility.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we used a portion of the proceeds from our senior note issuance described below under Senior Notes and Debentures to pay down a portion of the Term Loan Facility. As a result, we incurred a non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the ratable portion of unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.2 million.

We had $700.0 million and $1.0 billion in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Commercial Paper Program

In May 2022, we entered into a commercial paper program for the issuance and sale of unsecured commercial paper in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Commercial Paper Cap. As of June 30, 2023, we had $750.0 million principal value of commercial paper issued and outstanding under the program, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.287% and weighted average maturity of 11 days. In the event of a failed re-borrowing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund the commercial paper program until it is re-borrowed successfully. Accordingly, we have classified these borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Senior Notes and Debentures

In March 2023, we issued $400.0 million of 4.875% senior notes due 2029 (the 4.875% Notes) and $800.0 million of 5.000% senior notes due 2034 (the 5.000% Notes, and together with the 4.875% Notes, the Notes). The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally with our other unsecured obligations. We used the net proceeds from the Notes for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of amounts outstanding under the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the Commercial Paper Program, the Credit Facility, and the Term Loan Facility.

Our senior notes and debentures are general unsecured obligations. Interest is payable semi-annually.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Relationships

Our ability to obtain financing through the capital markets is a key component of our financial strategy. Historically, we have managed risk associated with executing this strategy, particularly as it relates to fluctuations in interest rates, by using a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. From time to time, we also have entered into interest rate swap and lock agreements to manage risk associated with interest rates, either to effectively convert specific fixed rate debt to a floating rate (fair value hedges), or to lock interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances (cash flow hedges).

Additionally, we amended certain interest rate lock agreements, extending the mandatory maturity date and dedesignated them as cash flow hedges (the Extended Interest Rate Locks). In addition, we entered into offsetting interest rate swaps to offset future exposures to fair value fluctuations of the Extended Interest Rate Locks.

For a description of our derivative contracts and hedge accounting, see Note 7, Debt, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Tax-Exempt Financings

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had $1,182.2 million and $1,182.0 million of certain variable rate tax-exempt financings outstanding, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2051.

Finance Leases

As of June 30, 2023, we had finance lease liabilities of $252.2 million with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2063. As of December 31, 2022, we had finance lease liabilities of $247.5 million with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2063.

Credit Ratings

Our continued access to the debt capital markets and to new financing facilities, as well as our borrowing costs, depend on multiple factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and maintaining strong credit ratings. As of June 30, 2023, our credit ratings were BBB+, Baa1 and BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, Inc., respectively. If our credit ratings were downgraded, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, our ability to access the debt markets with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, our cost of funds and other terms for new debt issuances, could be adversely impacted.

47

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations, other than short-term operating leases and financial assurances, which are not classified as debt. We have no transactions or obligations with related parties that are not disclosed, consolidated into or reflected in our reported financial position or results of operations. We have not guaranteed any third-party debt.

Seasonality and Severe Weather

Our operations can be adversely affected by periods of inclement or severe weather, which could increase the volume of waste collected under our existing contracts (without corresponding compensation), delay the collection and disposal of waste, reduce the volume of waste delivered to our disposal sites, or delay the construction or expansion of our landfills and other facilities. Our operations also can be favorably affected by severe weather, which could increase the volume of waste in situations where we are able to charge for our additional services.

Contingencies

For a description of our commitments and contingencies, see Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs, Note 8, Income Taxes, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

We identified and discussed our critical accounting judgments and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Although we believe our estimates and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the judgment or estimate is made. Actual results may differ significantly from estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of new accounting standards that may affect us, see Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Fuel Price Risk

Fuel costs represent a significant operating expense. When economically practical, we may enter into new fuel hedges, renew contracts, or engage in other strategies to mitigate market risk. As of June 30, 2023, we had no fuel hedges in place. While we charge fuel recovery fees to a majority of our customers, we are unable to charge such fees to all customers.

At current consumption levels, we believe a twenty-cent per gallon change in the price of diesel fuel would change our fuel costs by approximately $27 million per year. Offsetting these changes in fuel expense would result in changes in our fuel recovery fee charged to our customers. At current participation rates, we believe a twenty-cent per gallon change in the price of diesel fuel would change our fuel recovery fee by approximately $31 million per year.

Our operations also require the use of certain petrochemical-based products (such as liners at our landfills) the cost of which may vary with the price of petrochemicals. An increase in the price of petrochemicals could increase the cost of those products, which would increase our operating and capital costs. We also are susceptible to increases in fuel recovery fees from our vendors.

Our fuel costs were $269.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, or 3.7% of revenue, compared to $312.8 million, or 5.4% of revenue, during the comparable period in 2022.

Commodities Price Risk

We market recovered materials such as old corrugated containers and old newsprint from our recycling centers. Changes in market supply and demand for recycled commodities causes volatility in commodity prices. In prior periods, we have entered into derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. As of June 30, 2023, we had no recycling commodity hedges in place.

At current volumes and mix of materials, we believe a $10 change in the price of recycled commodities would change both annual revenue and operating income by approximately $10 million.

Revenue from recycling processing and commodity sales during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $150.2 million and $213.3 million, respectively.

48

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate long-term debt. Additionally, we enter into various interest rate swap agreements with the goal of reducing overall borrowing costs and increasing our floating interest rate exposure, as well as interest rate locks to manage exposure to fluctuations in anticipation of future debt issuances. Our interest rate swap and lock contracts have been authorized pursuant to our policies and procedures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $2,868.8 million of principal floating rate debt and interest rate swap contracts with a notional value of $370.0 million. If interest rates increased or decreased by 100 basis points on our variable rate debt, annualized interest expense and net cash payments for interest would increase or decrease by approximately $25 million. This analysis does not reflect the effect that interest rates would have on other items, such as new borrowings and the impact on the economy. See Note 7, Debt, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding how we manage interest rate risk.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e), and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Based on an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Form 10-Q identified in connection with that evaluation, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In May 2022, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of US Ecology. In March 2023, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wasteco Holdings Inc. and related subsidiaries. In June 2023, we acquired a vertically-integrated set of operations in Colorado from GFL Environmental Inc. As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023 did not include an assessment of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to these acquisitions. We will continue the process of implementing internal controls over financial reporting for these acquired businesses. These businesses contributed approximately 9% of revenue to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

49

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

General Legal Proceedings

We are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and have implemented safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of our business, we become involved in legal proceedings. Some may result in fines, penalties or judgments against us, or settlements, which may impact earnings and cash flows for a particular period. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any legal matter with certainty, we do not believe the outcome of any of our pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As used in the immediately following paragraph, the term legal proceedings refers to litigation and similar claims against us and our subsidiaries, excluding: (1) ordinary course accidents, general commercial liability and workers' compensation claims, which are covered by insurance programs, subject to customary deductibles, and which, together with self-insured employee health care costs, are discussed in Note 5, Other Liabilities, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and (2) environmental remediation liabilities, which are discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $12 million relating to our outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2023. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we are able to reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur with respect to such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we are able to reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. If we had used the high ends of such ranges, our aggregate potential liability would be approximately $7 million higher than the amount recorded as of June 30, 2023.

Legal Proceedings over Certain Environmental Matters Involving Governmental Authorities with Possible Sanctions of $1,000,000 or More

Item 103 of the SEC's Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions unless we reasonably believe the monetary sanctions will not equal or exceed a threshold which we determine is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceeding that is material to our business or financial condition. We have determined such disclosure threshold to be $1,000,000. We have no matters to disclose in accordance with that requirement.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(a)     In October 2020, our Board of Directors approved a $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization effective starting January 1, 2021 and extending through December 31, 2023. Share repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. While the Board of Directors has approved the program, the timing of any purchases, the prices and the number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by our management, at its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2023, there were no repurchased shares pending settlement.

(b)     The total number of shares purchased as part of the publicly announced program were all purchased pursuant to the October 2020 authorization.

(c)    Shares that may be purchased under the program exclude shares of common stock that may be surrendered to satisfy statutory minimum tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units issued to employees.

ITEM 3.    DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

None.

ITEM 4.    MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

None.

ITEM 5.    OTHER INFORMATION.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer adopted or terminated any contract, instrument or written plan for the purchase or sale of Republic securities intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K.

On May 12, 2023, the Company held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. At that meeting, the shareholders considered the frequency of an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation. As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2023, the shareholders cast the highest number of votes for an annual advisory vote on named executive officer compensation. Based on these results, the Company has determined to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers every year.

EX-10.1

EXHIBIT 10.01

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CLAWBACK POLICY

(As amended and restated on July 19, 2023)

Purpose

Republic Services, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Republic”) has established this Amended and Restated Clawback Policy (this “Policy”) to encourage sound financial reporting and increase individual accountability.

This Policy was initially adopted by Republic’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on October 29, 2014 (the “Initial Effective Date”) and was most recently amended and restated on July 19, 2023 (the “Effective Date”).

Administration

The Talent & Compensation Committee (as constituted from time to time, and including any successor committee, the “Committee”) shall administer this Policy. Subject to the provisions of this Policy and in accordance with the Applicable Rules (as defined below), the Committee shall make such determinations and interpretations and take such actions in connection with this Policy as it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Policy

1. Coverage.

a. Covered Officers. All officers (as defined by Rule 10D-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are “Covered Officers.” In addition, the Committee may designate other employees as “Covered Officers” (or remove such designations) from time to time. For purposes of this Policy, the term “Covered Officer” means any current or former Covered Officer.

b. Covered Compensation Arrangements; Effective Date. This Policy applies to all short- or long-term cash incentives and bonuses (including Awards as defined in and granted under Republic’s Executive Incentive Plan or any successor thereto), stock options, stock or stock-based awards (including Performance Shares and Performance Units as defined in and granted under Republic’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor thereto), Restricted Stock Units, or other incentive compensation, and in each case (i) to the extent that the amount, payment and/or vesting of which is calculated based in whole or in part on the application of, in the case of a Restatement (as defined below), the attainment of one or more financial reporting measures (as defined by Rule 10D-1(d) under the Exchange Act) or in the case of a Covered Event (as defined below), objective performance criteria, in either case measured during any part of the fiscal period covered by the Restatement or with respect to which the Covered Event occurred or (ii) that vest during any part of the fiscal period covered by the Restatement or with respect to which the Covered Event occurred (collectively, “Incentive Compensation”). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be deemed to be Incentive Compensation: salary, discretionary bonuses, bonuses paid solely upon completion of a specified employment period,, “other” compensation related to reasonable relocation expenses, and programs provided to salaried employees generally in which the level of benefits is not determined by the employee’s level of compensation, as determined by the Committee. This Policy shall apply only to Incentive Compensation received by a current or former Covered Officer on or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that, subject to the Applicable Rules, (i) the portions of this Policy

1

relating to Restatements shall continue to apply to Incentive Compensation granted on or after the Initial Effective Date if such Restatement corrects one or more errors in previously issued financial statements that are material to the previously issued financial statements (i.e., a Restatement that triggers the filing of a Form 8-K under Item 4.02(a)) and (ii) the portions of this Policy relating to Covered Events shall continue to apply to Incentive Compensation granted on or after February 24, 2022.

c. Restatement. For purposes of this Policy, a “Restatement” means an accounting restatement that Republic is required to prepare due to Republic’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. For the avoidance of doubt, an accounting restatement that occurs as a result of a change in accounting principles shall not be deemed a Restatement.

d. Covered Event.For purposes of this Policy, a “Covered Event” shall mean that a Covered Officer engages in any of the following conduct: (i) Covered Officer is convicted of or pleads guilty (or nolo contendere) to a felony, or a crime involving moral turpitude and, in either case, the result of which exposes Republic to serious actual or potential injury (financial, reputational or otherwise); (ii) Republic determines that Covered Officer knowingly committed a material violation of any of Republic’s policies, rules or guidelines; (iii) Covered Officer breaches a fiduciary duty or the terms of any confidentiality or other restrictive covenants, in each case, owed to or in favor of Republic; or (iv) Republic determines that Covered Officer willfully engaged in conduct, or willfully failed to perform assigned duties, the result of which exposes Republic to serious actual or potential injury (financial, reputational or otherwise).

2. Exercise of Clawback Authority

a. Restatement.

In the event of a Restatement, the Committee shall review all Incentive Compensation received by (or, in the case of equity-based compensation, which was awarded to or vested for) Covered Officers on the basis of having met or exceeded specific financial reporting measures or performance targets for performance periods during the Restatement period. For purposes of this Policy, Incentive Compensation is deemed received in the fiscal period during which the financial reporting measure specified in the applicable award is attained, even if the payment or grant occurs after the end of such period. The Committee shall require each Covered Officer or former Covered Officer, as applicable, reasonably promptly, to forfeit or repay any award, vesting or amount of Incentive Compensation (as applicable), whether vested or unvested and including gains on equity, received during the three completed fiscal-year period preceding the date on which Republic is required to prepare the Restatement, that is in excess of what would have been awarded to, vested and/or received by the Covered Officer had the relevant financial reporting measures or performance targets been determined based on the Restatement, without regard to any taxes paid. The Committee may seek forfeiture or recoupment from the Covered Officer from any of the following sources: prior Incentive Compensation payments; future Incentive Compensation payments; cancellation of outstanding equity awards; future equity awards; and direct repayment. Any forfeiture or recoupment under this Policy will be in addition to any other remedies that may be available under applicable law or Republic policy, including termination of employment or institution of civil proceedings.

For Incentive Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount to be recovered is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from information in the Restatement, the

2

amount to be recovered shall be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return, as applicable, and Republic shall retain documentation of the determination of such estimate and provide such documentation to the New York Stock Exchange if so required by the Applicable Rules.

b. Covered Event.

If a Covered Event has occurred, the Committee may review all Incentive Compensation received by (or, in the case of equity-based compensation, which was awarded to or vested) Covered Officers on the basis of having met or exceeded specific performance targets for performance periods during the period during which the Covered Event occurred. With respect to each Covered Officer, the Committee may seek to require the reasonably prompt forfeiture or repayment of the award, vesting or amount of Incentive Compensation (as applicable), in part or in whole, whether vested or unvested and including gains on equity, during the three completed fiscal year period preceding the occurrence of the Covered Event. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Committee may consider such factors as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, the requirements of applicable law; the extent to which the Covered Officer participated in or otherwise bore responsibility for the Covered Event; the extent to which the Covered Officer’s Incentive Compensation may or may not have been adjusted for the period in which the Covered Event occurred or may or may not have been impacted had the Committee known about the Covered Event; the associated costs and benefits of seeking to recover the Incentive Compensation and the extent to which any applicable agreement or arrangement with the Covered Officer specifically provides for any consequence upon the occurrence of the Covered Event. The Committee may seek forfeiture or recoupment from the Covered Officer from any of the following sources: prior Incentive Compensation payments; future Incentive Compensation payments; cancellation of outstanding equity awards; future equity awards; and direct repayment. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether and to what extent additional action is appropriate to address the circumstances surrounding the Covered Event so as to minimize the likelihood of any recurrence and to impose such other discipline as it deems appropriate. Any forfeiture or recoupment under this Policy will be in addition to any other remedies that may be available under applicable law or Republic policy, including termination of employment or institution of civil proceedings.

3. Limitations

Notwithstanding anything in this Policy to the contrary, the Committee shall not be obligated to pursue recovery of any Incentive Compensation pursuant to the terms of this Policy relating to a Restatement if it makes a determination that recovery would be impracticable and one of the following circumstances exists: (a) the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, provided Republic has (i) made a reasonable attempt to recover such Incentive Compensation, (ii) documented such reasonable attempt, and (iii) provided such documentation to the New York Stock Exchange; (b) recovery would violate home country law where the law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, provided Republic has (i) obtained an opinion of home country counsel acceptable to the New York Stock Exchange that recovery would result in such violation and (ii) provided such opinion to the New York Stock Exchange; or (c) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of Republic, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and the regulations thereunder.

The authority set forth in Section 2(b) of this Policy relating to a Covered Event shall be limited to the extent that it would violate any applicable statute or government regulation or, unless otherwise

3

required by applicable statute or government regulation, (1) result in substantial adverse tax or accounting consequences for Republic, (2) prejudice Republic’s interests in any related proceeding or investigation, or (3) reasonably result in expenses that exceed the amount that would be forfeited and/or recouped in exercising such authority. In each case, the Committee will determine the extent of such limitation in its sole discretion.

Any determination regarding this Policy and any application and implementation thereof need not be uniform with respect to each Covered Officer, or payment recovered or forfeited under this Policy.

4. Acknowledgement by Covered Officers

The Committee or its delegate shall provide notice and seek written acknowledgement of this Policy from each Covered Officer as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which the employee is designated as a Covered Officer; provided, however, that failure to obtain such acknowledgement shall have no impact on the enforceability of this Policy.

5. Amendment and Termination

The Committee may, from time to time, terminate, suspend, discontinue, revise or amend this Policy in any respect whatsoever, and (except as described in the immediately following paragraph) any such amendment will apply to Incentive Compensation granted on or after the effective date of that amendment. Nothing in this Policy will be deemed to limit or restrict Republic from providing for forfeiture or repayment of compensation (including Incentive Compensation) under circumstances not set forth in this Policy.

This Policy shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with any applicable rules or regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise (the “Applicable Rules”) and any other applicable law and shall otherwise be interpreted (including in the determination of amounts recoverable) in the business judgment of the Committee. To the extent the Applicable Rules require recovery of incentive-based compensation in additional circumstances besides those specified above, nothing in this Policy shall be deemed to limit or restrict Republic’s right or obligation to recover incentive-based compensation to the fullest extent required by the Applicable Rules. This Policy shall be deemed to be automatically amended, as of the date the Applicable Rules become effective with respect to Republic, to the extent required for this Policy to comply with the Applicable Rules, and any such amendment shall apply to Incentive Compensation granted either before or after that amendment to the extent the Applicable Rules so require.

6. Indemnification

No member of the Board, member of the Committee or employee of Republic in each case exercising such person’s responsibilities under this Policy (each, an “Indemnitee”) will have liability to any recipient of an award of Incentive Compensation or any other person for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to this Policy. Republic shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnitee may be a party or in which such Indemnitee may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under this Policy and from and against any and all amounts paid by such Indemnitee, with Republic’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnitee in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnitee. The foregoing rights of indemnification, defense, and hold harmless shall not be

4

available to an Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case, not subject to further appeal, determines that such Indemnitee’s acts or omissions giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnitee’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. The foregoing rights of indemnification, defense, and hold harmless will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Indemnitees may be entitled under Republic’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that Republic may have to indemnify or defend such persons or hold them harmless. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing right of indemnification, defense, and hold harmless shall not be available to a Covered Officer or former Covered Officer with respect to the forfeiture or recovery of an award or other payment made to such Covered Officer or former Covered Officer, in accordance with this Policy.

7. Severability

If any provision of this Policy or its application to any Covered Officer shall be adjudicated to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Policy, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render any such provision or application enforceable.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Republic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (also referred to collectively as Republic, the Company, we, us, or our), is one of the largest providers of environmental services in the United States, as measured by revenue. Our senior management evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of our operations through three field groups, referred to as Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the western United States. Group 2 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the southeastern and mid-western United States, the eastern seaboard of the United States, and Canada. Group 3 is our environmental solutions business operating primarily in geographic areas located across the United States and Canada. These groups represent our reportable segments, which each provide integrated environmental services, including but not limited to collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal. Prior to the third quarter of 2022, our environmental services operating segment, now referred to as our Group 3 reportable segment, was aggregated with Corporate entities and other.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Services, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). We account for investments in entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest under the equity method of accounting or, for investments that do not meet the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method, we reflect these investments at their fair value when it is readily determinable. If fair value is not readily determinable, we use an alternative measurement approach. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information related to our organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments that, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results you can expect for a full year. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. All dollar amounts in tabular presentations are in millions, except per share amounts and unless otherwise noted.

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our financial statements, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing our financial statements, the more critical and subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, including recoverability, landfill development costs, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, multiemployer pension funds, employee benefit plans, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and insurance reserves; and our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. Each of these items is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU requires buyers to disclose information about their supplier finance programs. Interim and annual requirements include the disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those

fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023, certain of our vendors chose to opt into our vendor supply finance agreement. This agreement allows a vendor to choose, on an invoice by invoice basis, to receive an earlier payment instead of a payment based on its original contracted terms (which, depending on the vendor, could extend up to 90 days or longer). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts outstanding under these programs were not material.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Acquisitions

We acquired various environmental services businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The aggregate purchase price paid for these business acquisitions and the allocations of the aggregate purchase price follows:

	2023		2022
Purchase price:
Cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $15.0 and 64.6, respectively	$	918.7	$	2,516.6
Holdbacks	8.1		10.1
Fair value, future minimum finance lease payments	0.5		15.6
Total	$	927.3	$	2,542.3
Allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable	$	26.1	$	250.5
Prepaid expenses	1.0		15.5
Landfill development costs	0.5		495.7
Property and equipment	160.3		688.0
Operating right-of-use lease assets	1.7		55.4
Interest rate swap	—		29.1
Other assets	0.1		38.0
Inventory	2.2		11.2
Accounts payable	(5.3)		(109.2)
Deferred revenue	(8.1)		(25.6)
Environmental remediation liabilities	(5.6)		(92.4)
Closure and post-closure liabilities	(10.5)		(88.9)
Operating right-of-use lease liabilities	(1.7)		(55.8)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(9.2)		(151.0)
Other liabilities	(1.2)		(49.5)
Fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed	150.3		1,011.0
Excess purchase price to be allocated	$	777.0	$	1,531.3
Excess purchase price allocated as follows:
Other intangible assets	$	103.0	$	162.9
Goodwill	674.0		1,368.4
Total allocated	$	777.0	$	1,531.3

Certain of the purchase price allocations are preliminary and based on information existing at the acquisition dates. Accordingly, the purchase price allocations are subject to change. For the acquisitions that closed during the six months ended June 30, 2023, we expect that a majority of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized as a result of these acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes.

These acquisitions are not material to the Company's results of operations, individually or in the aggregate. As a result, no pro forma financial information is provided.

On May 2, 2022, we acquired all outstanding equity of US Ecology, Inc. (US Ecology) in a transaction valued at $2.2 billion. US Ecology is a leading provider of environmental solutions offering treatment, recycling and disposal of hazardous, non-

hazardous and specialty waste. As of June 30, 2023, we finalized the purchase price allocation. We did not step-up the tax basis of the assets recognized in connection with the US Ecology acquisition, and do not expect that the goodwill and intangible assets recognized will be deductible for tax purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $18.2 million and $56.6 million, respectively, of acquisition integration and deal costs in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $10.6 million and $51.9 million, respectively, of acquisition integration and deal costs in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. The 2023 costs primarily related to the integration of certain software systems as well as rebranding the business, and the 2022 costs included certain costs to close the acquisition and integrate the business.

In June 2023, we acquired a vertically-integrated set of operations located primarily in Colorado from GFL Environmental Inc., including recycling, hauling, transfer and landfill operations. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and remains subject to revision as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. The preliminary allocation of purchase price, including the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as certain landfill and environmental liabilities assumed, is based on the best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on the final valuations. We expect our valuations to be substantially complete by the end of 2023.

Investments

In 2023 and 2022, we acquired non-controlling equity interests in certain limited liability companies that qualified for investment tax credits under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code. In exchange for our non-controlling interests, we made capital contributions of $1.5 million and $121.0 million, which were recorded to other assets in our June 30, 2023 and 2022 consolidated balance sheets, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we decreased the carrying value of these investments by $4.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we increased the carrying value of these investments by $11.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, as a result of cash distributions and our share of income and loss pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreements. Additionally, our tax provisions reflect no benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and benefits of approximately $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to the tax credits related to these investments. For further discussion of the income tax benefits, refer to Note 11, Income Taxes, in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Restructuring Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring charges of $15.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring charges of $5.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Of the 2023 charges, $9.4 million related to the early termination of certain leases and $6.1 million related to the redesign of our asset management, and customer and order management software systems, and the 2022 charges primarily related to the redesign of our general ledger, budgeting and procurement enterprise resource planning systems which was completed with systems being placed into production in 2022. We paid $26.1 million, of which $15.8 million related to the early termination of certain leases, during 2023 and $8.3 million during 2022 related to these restructuring efforts.

LANDFILL AND ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

As of June 30, 2023, we owned or operated 208 active landfills with total available disposal capacity estimated to be 5.1 billion in-place cubic yards. Additionally, we had post-closure responsibility for 126 closed landfills.

Accrued Landfill and Environmental Costs

A summary of accrued landfill and environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 follows:

Less: current portion	(76.6)		(65.8)
Long-term portion	$	1,766.7	$	1,591.4

We review annually, in the fourth quarter, and update as necessary, our estimates of asset retirement obligation liabilities. However, if there are significant changes in the facts and circumstances related to a site during the year, we will update our assumptions prospectively in the period that we know all the relevant facts and circumstances and make adjustments as appropriate.

Landfill Operating Expenses

In the normal course of business, we incur various operating costs associated with environmental compliance. These costs include, among other things, leachate treatment and disposal, methane gas and groundwater monitoring, systems maintenance, interim cap maintenance, costs associated with the application of daily cover materials, and the legal and administrative costs of ongoing environmental compliance. These costs are expensed as cost of operations in the periods in which they are incurred.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

We accrue for remediation costs when they become probable and can be reasonably estimated. There can sometimes be a range of reasonable estimates of the costs associated with remediation of a site. In these cases, we use the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is at the low end of such range. It is reasonably possible that we will need to adjust the liabilities recorded for remediation to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent such information impacts the costs, timing or duration of the required actions. If we used the reasonably possible high ends of our ranges, our aggregate potential remediation liability as of June 30, 2023 would be approximately $369 million higher than the amount recorded. Future changes in our estimates of the cost, timing or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table summarizes the activity in our environmental remediation liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	2023		2022
Environmental remediation liabilities, beginning of year	$	487.5	$	454.9
Payments	(21.2)		(21.1)
Accretion expense (non-cash interest expense)	9.0		8.6
Acquisitions, net of divestitures and other adjustments	32.4		94.5
Environmental remediation liabilities, end of period	507.7		536.9
Less: current portion	(63.4)		(55.5)
Long-term portion	$	444.3	$	481.4

Bridgeton Landfill. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid $5.9 million related to management and monitoring of the remediation area for our closed Bridgeton Landfill in Missouri. We continue to work with state and federal regulatory agencies on our remediation efforts. From time to time, this may require us to modify our future operating timeline and procedures, which could result in changes to our expected liability. As of June 30, 2023, the remediation liability recorded for this site was $81.2 million, of which approximately $9 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2023.

West Lake Landfill Superfund Site. Our subsidiary Bridgeton Landfill, LLC is one of several currently designated Potentially Responsible Parties for the West Lake Landfill Superfund site (West Lake) in Missouri. On September 27, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Record of Decision Amendment for West Lake that includes a total undiscounted cost estimate of $229 million over a four to five year design and construction timeline. On March 11, 2019, the EPA issued special notice letters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) to Bridgeton Landfill, LLC and the other currently designated Potentially Responsible Parties to initiate negotiations to implement the remedy. At this time, we are neither able to predict the final design of that remedy, nor estimate how much of the future response costs of the site our subsidiary may agree or be required to pay. During any subsequent administrative proceedings or litigation, our subsidiary will vigorously contest liability for the costs of remediating radiologically-impacted materials generated on behalf of the federal government during the Manhattan Project and delivered to the site by an Atomic Energy Commission licensee and its subcontractor. Currently, we believe we are adequately reserved for our expected remediation liability. However, subsequent events related to remedy design, divisibility, or allocation may require us to modify our expected remediation liability.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the early repayment of a portion of our Term Loan Facility. We incurred non-cash charges related to the proportional share of unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.2 million.

Credit Facilities

Uncommitted Credit Facility

In January 2022, we entered into a $200.0 million unsecured uncommitted revolving credit facility (the Uncommitted Credit Facility). The Uncommitted Credit Facility bears interest at an annual percentage rate to be agreed upon by both parties. Borrowings under the Uncommitted Credit Facility can be used for working capital, letters of credit, and other general corporate purposes. The agreement governing our Uncommitted Credit Facility requires us to comply with certain covenants. The Uncommitted Credit Facility may be terminated by either party at any time. As of June 30, 2023 we had $54.6 million of borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Uncommitted Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility

In August 2021, we entered into a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). Borrowings under the Credit Facility mature in August 2026. As permitted by the Credit Facility, we have the right to request two one-year extensions of the maturity date, but none of the lenders are committed to participate in such extensions. The Credit Facility also includes a feature that allows us to increase availability, at our option, by an aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion through increased commitments from existing lenders or the addition of new lenders.

In February 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility (the Credit Facility Amendment) to add our subsidiary, USE Canada Holdings, Inc. (the Canadian Borrower), as an additional borrower under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility Amendment provides that the aggregate of (i) all loans to the Canadian Borrower and (ii) all loans denominated in Canadian dollars cannot exceed $500 million (the Canadian Sublimit). The Canadian Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility in United States dollars bear interest at a Base Rate, a daily floating SOFR or a term SOFR plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings (all as defined in the Credit Facility agreement). The Canadian dollar-denominated loans bear interest based on the Canadian Prime rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a current applicable margin of 0.910% based on our Debt Ratings. As of June 30, 2023, C$232 million was outstanding against the Canadian Sublimit, with an interest rate of 6.007%.

The Credit Facility is subject to facility fees based on applicable rates defined in the Credit Facility agreement and the aggregate commitment, regardless of usage. The Credit Facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility agreement requires us to comply with financial and other covenants. We may pay dividends and repurchase common stock if we are in compliance with these covenants.

We had $175.1 million (all related to Canadian-denominated loans) and $250.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We had $336.5 million and $347.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also had $750.0 million and $1.0 billion of principal borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As a result, availability under our Credit Facility was $1,738.4 million and $1,402.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Term Loan Facility

On April 29, 2022, we entered into the $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 29, 2025 and bears interest at a base rate or a forward-looking SOFR, plus an applicable margin based on our debt ratings. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 6.002%. We may prepay, without penalty, all or any part of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility at any time.

On May 2, 2022, we completed the acquisition of US Ecology using proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We had $700.0 million and $1.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Commercial Paper Program

In May 2022, we entered into a commercial paper program for the issuance and sale of unsecured commercial paper in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million outstanding at any one time (the Commercial Paper Cap). In August 2022, the Commercial Paper Cap was increased to $1.0 billion. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 5.287% with a weighted average maturity of 11 days.

We had $750.0 million and $1.0 billion principal value of commercial paper issued and outstanding under the program as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the event of a failed re-borrowing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund the commercial paper program until it is re-borrowed successfully. Accordingly, we have classified these borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Senior Notes

In March 2023, we issued $400.0 million of 4.875% senior notes due 2029 (the 4.875% Notes) and $800.0 million of 5.000% senior notes due 2034 (the 5.000% Notes, and together, the Notes). The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally with our other unsecured obligations. We used the proceeds from the Notes for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of amounts outstanding under the Uncommitted Credit Facility, the Commercial Paper Program, the Credit Facility, and the Term Loan Facility. As a result of the Term Loan Facility repayment, we incurred a non-cash loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the ratable portion of unamortized deferred issuance costs of $0.2 million.

Interest Rate Swap and Lock Agreements

Our ability to obtain financing through the capital markets is a key component of our financial strategy. Historically, we have managed risk associated with executing this strategy, particularly as it relates to fluctuations in interest rates, by using a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. From time to time, we also have entered into interest rate swap and lock agreements to manage risk associated with interest rates, either to effectively convert specific fixed rate debt to a floating rate (fair value hedges), or to lock interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances (cash flow hedges).

Fair Value Hedges

During the second half of 2013, we entered into various interest rate swap agreements (the 2013 Interest Rate Swaps) relative to our 4.750% fixed rate senior notes due in May 2023 (4.750% Notes). The goal was to reduce overall borrowing costs and rebalance our debt portfolio's ratio of fixed-to-floating interest rates. These swap agreements settled in May 2023 along with our 4.750% Notes and are no longer included in our consolidated balance sheet.

Contemporaneously with the $250.0 million partial redemption of the 4.750% Notes in November 2020, we dedesignated the proportional share of these swap agreements as fair value hedges. There was no ineffectiveness recognized in the dedesignation of these fair value hedges. Following the dedesignation, the fair value of these free-standing derivatives was determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). As of December 31, 2022, these free-standing derivatives were reflected at their fair value of a $1.0 million liability and were included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized gains of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized losses of $1.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, directly in earnings as an adjustment to non-cash interest expense attributable to the change in fair value of the free-standing derivatives.

As of December 31, 2022, the 2013 Interest Rate Swaps that were designated as fair value hedges are reflected as a $1.2 million liability and included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

We recognized net interest expense of $0.8 million and $2.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and net interest income of $1.4 million and $3.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, related to net swap settlements for these interest rate swap agreements, which is included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized losses of $0.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to the impact of changes in the benchmark interest rate on the fair value of the hedged senior notes, and offsetting gains of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swaps attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized gains of $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to the impact of changes in the benchmark interest rate on the fair value of the hedged senior notes, and offsetting losses of $1.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, on the related interest rate swaps attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The difference of these fair value changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was recorded directly in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

For further detail regarding the effect of our fair value hedging on interest expense, refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flow Hedges

We have historically entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in anticipation of planned future issuances of senior notes. Upon the expected issuance of senior notes, we terminate the interest rate locks and settle with our counterparties. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

The fair value of our interest rate locks is determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized an unrealized gain in other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million, net of tax, related to terminated interest rate locks issued in conjunction with the issuance of our 5.000% Notes in March 2023. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our previously terminated interest rate locks were recorded as components of accumulated other comprehensive loss of $17.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively, net of tax. The effective portion of the interest rate locks is amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the issued debt using the effective interest method. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses, net of tax, of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses, net of tax, of $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as a result of this amortization. Over the next 12 months, we expect to amortize $3.5 million, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as a yield adjustment of our senior notes.

In connection with our acquisition of US Ecology, in the second quarter of 2022, we acquired and novated a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement (the 2022 Interest Rate Swap) with an initial effective date of March 6, 2020, an initial notional amount of $500 million relative to our Term Loan Facility and an initial fair value of $29.1 million. The initial fair value is reclassified into earnings as non-cash interest expense on a systematic basis over the life of the interest rate swap. As of June 30, 2023, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap has a notional value of $370 million. The interest rate swap matures in November 2026. The goal was to reduce overall borrowing costs. Under the terms of the acquired agreement, we pay interest at a fixed interest rate of 0.832% and received interest at floating rates based on changes in LIBOR. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. In May 2022, following the closing of the acquisition, we amended the reference rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a SOFR rate. In accordance with ASU 2020-04, the amendment of the reference rate did not result in dedesignation of the cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized in interest expense in the period in which the payment is settled.

The fair value of our floating-to-fixed interest rate swap is determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap was recorded at its fair value of $33.9 million and $36.0 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized unrealized gains of $7.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the 2022 Interest Rate Swap. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an unrealized loss of $1.1 million, net of tax, related to the change in fair value of the 2022 Interest Rate Swap. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Interest Rate Swap was recorded as a gain within accumulated other comprehensive loss of $9.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, net of tax. The effective portion of the Interest Rate Swap is amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the instrument using the effective interest method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a gain, net of tax, of $3.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, as a result of this amortization. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not recognize any gains or losses related to this amortization. Over the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $7 million, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an offset to interest expense in the period in which payments are settled.

For further detail regarding the effect of our cash flow hedging on interest expense, refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Derivative Contracts

Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 2.300% Notes in February 2020, we amended interest rate lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $550.0 million, extending the mandatory maturity date from 2020 to 2030, and dedesignated them as cash flow hedges (2020 Extended Interest Rate Locks). Contemporaneously with the issuance of our 2.500% Notes in August 2019, we amended interest rate lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $375.0 million, extending the mandatory maturity date from 2019 to 2024, and dedesignated them as cash flow hedges (2019 Extended Interest Rate Locks and collectively with the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Locks referred to as the Extended Interest Rate Locks). There was no ineffectiveness recognized in the termination of these cash flow hedges. In addition, we entered into offsetting interest rate swaps to offset future exposures to fair value fluctuations of the Extended Interest Rate Locks (2019 Offsetting Interest Rate Swap and the 2020 Offsetting Interest Rate Swap, or collectively the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps). The fair value of these free-standing derivatives was determined using standard valuation models with assumptions about interest rates being based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair values of the Extended Interest Rate Locks were assets of $69.0 million and $69.8 million, respectively, which were included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and

December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps were liabilities of $96.4 million and $99.7 million, respectively, which were included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized gains of $9.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of the Extended Interest Rate Locks with offsetting losses of $9.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively, on the change in fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized losses of $4.6 million and gains of $74.8 million on the change in fair value of the Extended Interest Rate Locks with offsetting gains of $3.3 million and losses of $73.1 million respectively on the change in fair value of the Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps. The changes in fair value were recorded directly in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Tax-Exempt Financings

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had $1,182.2 million and $1,182.0 million of certain variable rate tax-exempt financings outstanding, respectively, with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2051.

All of our tax-exempt financings are remarketed either quarterly or semiannually by remarketing agents to effectively maintain a variable yield. The holders of the bonds can put them back to the remarketing agents at the end of each interest period. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket our bonds, the remarketing agent can put the bonds to us. In the event of a failed remarketing, we currently have availability under our Credit Facility to fund these bonds until they are remarketed successfully. Accordingly, we classified these borrowings as long-term in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Finance Leases

As of June 30, 2023, we had finance lease liabilities of $252.2 million with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2063. As of December 31, 2022, we had finance lease liabilities of $247.5 million with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2063.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 26.3% and 26.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate, exclusive of non-controlling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 22.2% and 23.8%, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net cash paid for income taxes was $88.0 million and $78.9 million, respectively.

We have deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards. We provide a partial valuation allowance due to uncertainty surrounding the future utilization of these carryforwards in the taxing jurisdictions where the loss carryforwards exist. When determining the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial results, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The realization of our deferred tax asset for state loss carryforwards ultimately depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income in the appropriate state taxing jurisdictions in future periods. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent such evidence can be objectively verified. We continue to regularly monitor both positive and negative evidence in determining the ongoing need for a valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2023, the valuation allowance associated with our state loss carryforwards was approximately $42.7 million.

We are subject to income tax in the United States, as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Our compliance with income tax rules and regulations is periodically audited by taxing authorities. These authorities may challenge the positions taken in our tax filings. Thus, to provide for certain potential tax exposures, we maintain liabilities for uncertain tax positions for our estimate of the final outcome of these examinations. The federal statute of limitations applicable to our federal tax returns has passed for all years prior to 2015. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years 2015 through 2017. In addition, we are currently under state examination or administrative review in various state jurisdictions for tax years 2012 through 2020.

We believe the recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions are adequate. However, a significant assessment against us in excess of the liabilities recorded could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. As of June 30, 2023, we are unable to estimate the resolution of our gross unrecognized benefits over the next 12 months.

We recognize interest and penalties as incurred within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2023, we accrued a liability for penalties of $0.3 million and a liability for interest (including interest on penalties) of $17.5 million related to our uncertain tax positions.

While the Board of Directors has approved the program, the timing of any purchases, the prices and the number of shares of common stock to be purchased will be determined by our management, at its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews the intrinsic value of our stock and the parameters around which we repurchase our shares. The share repurchase program may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Stock repurchase activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Amount paid	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	203.5
Weighted average cost per share	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	124.02

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, no repurchased shares were pending settlement. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining authorized purchase capacity under our October 2020 repurchase program was $1.5 billion.

Dividends

In April 2023, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.495 per share. Cash dividends declared were $313.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we recorded a quarterly dividend payable of $156.6 million to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 3, 2023.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares (including vested but unissued restricted stock units and performance stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the combined weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding, which include, where appropriate, the unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) and the unvested performance stock units (PSUs) at the expected attainment levels. We use the treasury stock method in computing diluted earnings per share.

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Basic earnings per share:
Net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc.	$	427,398	$	371,888	$	811,250	$	723,912
Weighted average common shares outstanding	316,849		316,473		316,781		316,538

Fair Value Measurements

In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3). We also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate.

The carrying value for certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, current investments, accounts payable and certain other accrued liabilities, approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

	June 30, 2023
			Fair Value
	Carrying Amount		Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total Debt

The carrying value of our total debt was $12.1 billion and $11.8 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the fair value of our total debt was $11.5 billion and $11.1 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of our fixed rate senior notes and debentures is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of our remaining notes payable, tax-exempt financings and borrowings under our credit facilities approximates the carrying value because the interest rates are variable. The fair value estimates were based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 7, Debt, for further information related to our debt.

Contingent Consideration

In 2015, we entered into a waste management contract with the County of Sonoma, California to operate the county's waste management facilities. As of June 30, 2023, the Sonoma contingent consideration represents the fair value of $59.7 million payable to the County of Sonoma based on the achievement of future annual tonnage targets through the expected remaining

capacity of the landfill. The potential undiscounted amount of all future contingent payments that we could be required to make under the waste management contract is estimated to be between approximately $78 million and $113 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the activity in the contingent consideration liability included accretion, which was offset by concession payments made in the ordinary course of business. There were no changes to the estimate of fair value.

Intercompany revenue reflects transactions within and between segments that generally are made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of such services. Capital expenditures for Corporate entities and other primarily include vehicle inventory acquired but not yet assigned to operating locations and facilities.

National Accounts revenue included in Corporate entities and other represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide and regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Corporate functions include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, closed landfills, and other administrative functions.

Revenue and overhead costs of Corporate entities and other are either specifically assigned or allocated on a rational and consistent basis among our reportable segments to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. This presentation is consistent with how our chief operating decision maker reviews results of operations to make resource allocation decisions.

Net Adjusted EBITDA reflects the allocation of Revenue and Gross Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate entities and other to our reportable segments. As presented in the tables below, Adjusted EBITDA reflects certain adjustments for US Ecology, Inc., acquisition, integration and deal costs, (income) losses from unconsolidated equity method investments, losses on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to withdrawal liabilities for a multiemployer pension fund and restructuring expenses.

The following table calculates EBITDA and EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of revenue):

Other non-core revenue consists primarily of revenue from National Accounts, which represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide or regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Consequently, substantially all of this revenue is offset with related subcontract costs, which are recorded in cost of operations.

Environmental solutions revenue includes revenue generated by US Ecology following our acquisition of the business on May 2, 2022.

See Note 12, Segment Reporting, for additional information regarding revenue by reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition

Our service obligations of a long-term nature, e.g., certain collection service contracts, are satisfied over time, and we recognize revenue based on the value provided to the customer during the period. The amount billed to the customer is based on variable elements such as the number of residential homes or businesses for which collection services are provided, the volume of material collected, treated, transported and disposed, and the nature of the material accepted. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts as our right to consideration corresponds directly to the value provided to the customer for services completed to date and all future variable consideration is allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

Additionally, certain elements of our long-term customer contracts are unknown upon entering into the contract, including the amount that will be billed in accordance with annual price escalation clauses, our fuel recovery fee program and commodity prices. The amount to be billed is often tied to changes in an underlying base index such as a consumer price index or a fuel or commodity index, and revenue can be recognized once the index is established for the period.

Environmental solutions revenue is primarily generated from the fees we charge for the collection, treatment, consolidation, disposal and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, field and industrial services, equipment rental, emergency response and standby services and in-plant services, such as transportation and logistics, including at our transfer, storage and

disposal facilities (TSDF). Activity for this service line varies across markets and reflects the regulatory environment, pricing and disposal alternatives available in any given market. Revenue recognized is variable in nature and primarily based on the volume and type of waste accepted or processed during the period. For certain field and industrial services contracts, we have a right to consideration from our customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company's performance completed to date. Therefore, we have applied the practical expedient to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice.

Deferred Revenue

The factors that impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized for each service line may vary based on the nature of the service performed. Generally, we recognize revenue at the time we perform a service. In the event that we bill for services in advance of performance, we recognize deferred revenue for the amount billed and subsequently recognize revenue at the time the service is provided. Depending on the nature of the contract, we may also generate revenue through the collection of fuel recovery fees and environmental fees which are designed to recover our internal costs of providing services to our customers.

Substantially all of the deferred revenue recognized as of December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023 when the service was performed.

Deferred Contract Costs

We incur certain upfront payments to acquire customer contracts which are recognized as other assets in our consolidated balance sheet, and we amortize the asset over the respective contract life. In addition, we recognize sales commissions that represent an incremental cost of the contract as other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, and we amortize the asset over the average life of the customer relationship. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recognized $81.5 million and $80.2 million, respectively, of deferred contract costs and capitalized sales commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we amortized $3.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of capitalized sales commissions to selling, general and administrative expenses and we amortized $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of other deferred contract costs as a reduction of revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we amortized $3.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of capitalized sales commissions to selling, general and administrative expenses and we amortized $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of other deferred contract costs as a reduction of revenue.

Credit Losses

Accounts receivable represent receivables from customers for environmental services, including collection and processing of recyclable materials, collection, transfer, and disposal of solid waste, and other environmental solutions. Our receivables are recorded when billed or when the related revenue is earned and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of our receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and customer credits, represents their estimated net realizable value.

We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors including the age of receivables outstanding, historical trends, economic conditions and other information. We also review outstanding balances on an account-specific basis based on the credit risk of the customer. We determined that all of our accounts receivable share similar risk characteristics. We monitor our credit exposure on an ongoing basis and assess whether assets in the pool continue to display similar risk characteristics. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, but generally do not require collateral to support customer receivables.

The following table reflects the activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	2023		2022

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and have implemented safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of our business, we become involved in legal proceedings. Some may result in fines, penalties or judgments against us, or settlements, which may impact earnings and cash flows for a particular period. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any legal matter with certainty, we do .not believe the outcome of any of our pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As used herein, the term legal proceedings refers to litigation and similar claims against us and our subsidiaries, excluding: (1) ordinary course accidents, general commercial liability and workers' compensation claims, which are covered by insurance programs, subject to customary deductibles, and which, together with insured employee health care costs, are discussed in Note 5, Other Liabilities; and (2) environmental remediation liabilities, which are discussed in Note 6, Landfill and Environmental Costs.

We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. We have recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $12 million relating to our outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2023. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we can reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur regarding such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. If we had used the high ends of such ranges, our aggregate potential liability would be approximately $7 million higher than the amount recorded as of June 30, 2023.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

We participate in multiemployer pension plans that generally provide retirement benefits to participants of contributing employers. We do not administer these plans.

Under current law regarding multiemployer pension plans, our withdrawal (which we consider from time to time) or the mass withdrawal from any under-funded multiemployer pension plan (each, a Withdrawal Event) could require us to make payments to the plan for our proportionate share of the plan’s unfunded vested liabilities. During the course of operating our business, we incur Withdrawal Events regarding certain of the multiemployer pension plans in which we participate. We accrue for such events when losses become probable and reasonably estimable.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents

Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as presented in the statement of cash flows is reconciled as follows:

We have no transactions or obligations with related parties that are not disclosed, consolidated into or reflected in our reported financial position or results of operations. We have not guaranteed any third-party debt.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Management's Estimates and Assumptions

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing our financial statements, we make numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. We must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information we use is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing our financial statements, the more critical and subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to our accounting for our long-lived assets, including recoverability, landfill development costs, and final capping, closure and post-closure costs; our valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; our liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; our liabilities for environmental remediation, multiemployer pension funds, employee benefit plans, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, and insurance reserves; and our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. Each of these items is discussed in more detail in our description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The ASU requires buyers to disclose information about their supplier finance programs. Interim and annual requirements include the disclosure of outstanding amounts under the obligations as of the end of the reporting period, and annual requirements include a rollforward of those obligations for the annual reporting period, as well as a description of payment and other key terms of the programs. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those

fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
