Stericycle, Inc. Reports Results

For the Second Quarter 2019

 

LAKE FOREST, Ill., August 1, 2019 - Stericycle, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 and updated guidance for the full year.

 

Revenues for the quarter were $845.8 million, a decrease of 4.2% from $883.3 million in the second quarter of last year.  Income from operations in the quarter was $25.3 million, compared to $62.4 million in the second quarter of last year. Net loss was $30.5 million, or $0.33 diluted loss per share, compared with net income of $26.6 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of last year.  Adjusted EBITDA was $137.7 million, or 16.3% of revenues, compared with $190.9 million, or 21.6% of revenues in the second quarter of last year.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.56, compared to $1.17 in the 2018 comparable period.

 

KEY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:

 

Regulated Waste and Compliance Services (“RWCS”) grew organic revenues 1.4%, the first increase in two years.

 

Secure Information Destruction organic revenues, excluding sorted office paper (“SOP”), increased 4.3%.

 

The Company continued to make significant progress towards implementation of its global ERP system.

 

“We continue to make progress on key business priorities, including the development of our global ERP system and the overall transformation of the business,” said Cindy J. Miller, Chief Executive Officer. “We are encouraged by revenue growth in our core businesses this quarter which reflects the early impact of our quality of revenue initiatives. We were disappointed with our profitability, which was negatively affected by sorted office paper pricing and higher than expected costs.  Looking to the second half of 2019, we are acutely focused on key priorities to drive long-term growth and shareholder value.”

 

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Results

 

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were $845.8 million, compared to $883.3 million in the second quarter of last year.  Macroeconomic factors, including the effect of foreign exchange rates and SOP pricing, reduced revenues by $20.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively.  Divestitures net of acquisitions reduced revenues by $10.6 million. Organic growth in Secure Information Destruction and RWCS was offset by lower SOP pricing and lower recall activity in Communication and Related Services.  


 

Income from operations in the quarter was $25.3 million, compared to $62.4 million in the second quarter of last year.  This variance was primarily due to the flow through of SOP pricing and pricing pressure in RWCS and higher operating costs which increased as a percent of revenue, including third-party hazardous waste disposal and equipment maintenance and rental costs. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percent of revenue were slightly favorable.

 

Net loss was $30.5 million, or $0.33 diluted loss per share, compared with net income of $26.6 million, or $0.31 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of last year, primarily due to operational factors described above and a one-time pre-tax charge of $26.7 million related to loss on early extinguishment of debt and related charges from the debt refinancing in the second quarter.

 

Cash flow from operations year to date was $71.0 million, compared to $231.0 million during the same period last year.  The decrease was primarily a result of the net loss for the period and a change in net working capital.  Capital expenditures year to date were $108.2 million, including $40.8 million for the ERP implementation, compared to $64.0 million last year, including $3.7 million associated with the ERP implementation.

Non-GAAP Results

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $137.7 million, compared to $190.9 million in the second quarter of last year.  This variance was primarily driven by macroeconomic factors impacting revenues and higher operating costs, including third-party hazardous waste disposal and equipment maintenance and rental costs discussed above, and higher SG&A expenses which increased as a percent of revenues and were primarily driven by higher bad debt expense, internal control investments, and a one-time insurance reserve.

 

Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.56, compared to $1.17 in the second quarter of last year, primarily due to macroeconomic factors and operating costs, higher interest expense and the absence of gains on share repurchases this quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2018.

 

Free cash flow inclusive of capital expenditures was an outflow of ($37.2) million dollars as a result of the net loss for the period, the expected increase in capital expenditures due to the ERP implementation and a change in net working capital.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Actual Non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures in the schedules attached hereto.

 

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Stericycle updated its financial guidance for the full-year 2019, as summarized in the table below.  The revised guidance reflects the significant decline in SOP pricing, the impact of foreign exchange rates, higher interest expense, and continuing cost pressures. The Company’s guidance is based on currently known items and certain business assumptions including current foreign exchange rates and estimates for

SOP pricing.  The guidance only includes acquisitions and divestitures that closed through the second quarter of 2019.

The comparisons at constant currency rates (foreign exchange) reflect comparative local currency balances at prior period’s foreign exchange rates.  Stericycle calculated these percentages by taking current period reported Revenues less the respective prior period reported Revenues, divided by the prior period reported Revenues, all at the respective prior period’s foreign exchange rates.  This measure provides information on the change in Revenues assuming that foreign currency exchange rates have not changed between the prior and the current period.  Management believes the use of this measure aids in the understanding of changes in Revenues without the impact of foreign currency.

Organic percentage change for Secure Information Destruction Services includes the impact of SOP price movements.

(7) Impairment

2019: SG&A includes $2.1 million related to non-cash impairment charges, of which $0.4 million related to long-lived assets in our Domestic and Canada RWCS reportable segment and $1.7 million related to permits and customer list in our International RWCS reportable segment.

(8) Other

2019: SG&A includes $9.7 million of consulting and professional services related to internal control remediation activities as well as the implementation of new accounting standards.  Other expense, net includes a foreign exchange loss of $0.2 million related to the re-measurement of net monetary assets held in Argentina as a result of its designation as a highly inflationary economy.

2018: SG&A includes $2.9 million of consulting and professional services related to the implementation of new accounting standards as well as internal control remediation activities.

(9) Capital Allocation

2019: Pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million, comprising a make whole premium of $20.4 million, due under the terms of certain of the private placement notes, and $2.7 million related to unamortized debt issuance costs, associated with repayments of our private placement notes. We also incurred $0.2 million of debt modification charges associated with the execution of the Fourth Amendment, which are recorded in Interest expense, net and charges of $3.4 million related to the write-off of the unamortized portion of premiums associated with interest rate locks executed in connection with the issuance of certain of the private placement notes, which are recorded in Interest expense, net.  The impact of these items, net of tax, was $19.8 million.

2018: Includes dividends on our Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock of $8.3 million.

For the purpose of calculating the ultimate EPS impact, for the second quarter of 2018, of our mandatory convertible preferred stock we show the impact by excluding the mandatory convertible preferred stock dividend and using the “if-converted” method of share dilution.  This provides insight to how our diluted share count was affected by the potential conversion of the mandatory convertible preferred shares prior to their actual conversion in September 2018.

The impact of excluding the preferred stock dividend from Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.10 for the second quarter of 2018.  The increase in diluted shares outstanding under the “if-converted” method was 4.8 million for the second quarter of 2018.  The impact of all adjusting items under the “if-converted” method to our Adjusted Diluted EPS has a dilutive effect of $0.07 for the second quarter of 2018.

(a) The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release are reconciled to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the schedules attached to this release.  Management believes the Non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of Stericycle’s performance because they provide additional information about Stericycle’s operations and exclude certain adjusting items, allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability.  Additionally, the Company uses such Non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating business unit and management performance.  All Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to, or calculated in the same manner as Non-GAAP financial measures published by other companies.

(b) Income from Operations and Adjusted Income from Operations provide the basis for other financial measures.

(c) Under the Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Shareholders column, adjustments are shown net of tax in aggregate of $25.6 million and $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, based on applying the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the adjustment occurred or, by adjusting the tax effect to consider the impact of applying an annual effective tax rate on an interim basis.

execution of the Fourth Amendment, which are recorded in Interest expense, net and charges of $3.4 million related to the write-off of the unamortized portion of premiums associated with interest rate locks executed in connection with the issuance of certain of the private placement notes, which are recorded in Interest expense, net.  The impact of these items, net of tax, was $19.8 million.

2018 includes dividends on our Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock of $17.1 million.

For the purpose of calculating the ultimate EPS impact, for the first six months of 2018, of our mandatory convertible preferred stock we show the impact by excluding the mandatory convertible preferred stock dividend and using the “if-converted” method of share dilution.  This provides insight to how our diluted share count was affected by the potential conversion of the mandatory convertible preferred shares prior to their actual conversion in September 2018.

As a result of this conversion in September 2018, the preferred stock had no impact on Adjusted Diluted EPS or the diluted shares outstanding for the first six months of 2019.

The impact of excluding the preferred stock dividend from Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.20 for the first six months of 2018.  The increase in diluted shares outstanding under the “if-converted” method was 4.8 million for the first six months of 2018.  The impact of all adjusting items under the “if-converted” method to our Adjusted Diluted EPS has a dilutive effect of $0.13 for the first six months of 2018.

(a) The Non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release are reconciled to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the schedules attached to this release.  Management believes the Non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of Stericycle’s performance because they provide additional information about Stericycle’s operations and exclude certain adjusting items, allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability.  Additionally, the Company uses such Non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating business unit and management performance.  All Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the applicable U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation from, or a replacement for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to, or calculated in the same manner as Non-GAAP financial measures published by other companies.

(b) Income from Operations and Adjusted Income from Operations provide the basis for other financial measures.

(c) Under the Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Shareholders column, adjustments are shown net of tax in aggregate of $46.5 million and $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, based on applying the statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the adjustment occurred or, by adjusting the tax effect to consider the impact of applying an annual effective tax rate on an interim basis.
