GFL Environmental reports Q1 adjusted EPS 8c, consensus 12c

Reports Q1 revenue $1.64B, consensus $1.63B. “I am extremely proud of the hard work and commitment of our over 15,000 employees, as we delivered another strong start to the year,” said CEO Patrick Dovigi. “Our exceptional execution drove industry leading top line growth of 8.5% before considering foreign exchange headwinds, including 7.0% from core pricing and 180 basis points of Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion…Since the start of the year, we have completed eight acquisitions, generating $425.0M-$450.0M in annualized revenue and further densifying our footprint across our North American platform. On the back of these acquisitions alone, we are raising our full-year guidance. Given the momentum in our base business, we remain well positioned to exceed this guidance. Our increased guidance does not include any upside from our proposed acquisition of SECURE Waste, which we expect to close in the latter half of the year. The transaction reinforces our goal of creating long-term equity value for our shareholders and is expected to meaningfully accelerate the achievement of the multi-year financial targets we outlined at our 2025 Investor Day, significantly benefiting both GFL and SECURE shareholders.”
