-- Reports Revenue of $302.8 Million, up 13.4% -- Reports GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS* of $0.38 and $0.37, Respectively -- Reports YTD Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $150.9 Million, or 26.7% of Revenue -- Reports YTD Free Cash Flow* of $104.7 Million, or $1.30 per Share, up 32.2% -- Completes Previously Announced Acquisition of Divestitures From Republic Services -- Announces Agreement to Acquire Sanipac, Inc. -- Resumes Stock Repurchase Program

FOLSOM, CA, Jul 21, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Waste Connections, Inc. (NYSE: WCN) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2009. Revenue totaled $302.8 million, a 13.4% increase over revenue of $267.0 million in the year ago period. Operating income was $59.4 million versus $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. Net income attributable to Waste Connections in the quarter was $30.4 million, or $0.38 per share on a diluted basis of 80.8 million shares. In the year ago period, the Company reported net income attributable to Waste Connections of $25.6 million, or $0.38 on a diluted basis of 67.8 million shares. The year-over-year increase in diluted share count is due to an equity offering completed since the year ago period.

Non-cash costs for equity-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and amortization of debt discount related to convertible debt instruments in connection with the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009, were $6.8 million ($4.3 million net of taxes, or approximately $0.05 per share) in the quarter compared to $4.4 million ($2.7 million net of taxes, or approximately $0.04 per share) in the year ago period.

SG&A in the current period included approximately $2.4 million ($1.5 million net of taxes) of expenses primarily related to the acquisition of divested assets from Republic Services, Inc., and, to a lesser extent, an additional loss on the Company's prior corporate office lease. Management also noted that current period results benefited approximately $3.0 million ($2.3 million net of taxes) from both a gain on the sale of certain assets and a 270 basis point decrease in the Company's effective tax rate primarily due to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities. In addition, the Company received written approval from the IRS in May to change its calculation of landfill depreciation for tax purposes.

"Stabilizing volumes, contribution from recently completed acquisitions, and aggressive expense management enabled us to exceed our expectations for the second quarter. In response to the precipitous drop in the economy in late 2008, we reduced our headcount by about 10%, including a company-wide reduction in force in April, and instituted a number of wage and cost controls. The relative stability we experienced in the recent quarter, together with our low financial leverage and strong free cash flow, provided us the comfort to resume our share repurchase program while retaining flexibility to fund our future growth strategy," said Ronald J. Mittelstaedt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Mittelstaedt added, "We completed the previously announced acquisitions of certain divested assets from Republic Services during the second quarter. In late June, we entered into an agreement to acquire Sanipac, Inc., the largest privately-owned solid waste services provider in Oregon. Closing of the Sanipac transaction, which remains subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2009. With this transaction and others already completed, acquisition activity in the year totals approximately $165 million of annualized revenue."

* A non-GAAP measure; see accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliation Schedule.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue was $565.5 million, a 9.3% increase over revenue of $517.3 million in the year ago period. Operating income was $107.1 million versus $106.4 million for the same period in 2008. Net income attributable to Waste Connections for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $52.4 million, or $0.65 per share on a diluted basis of 80.8 million shares. In the year ago period, the Company reported net income attributable to Waste Connections of $48.0 million, or $0.71 on a diluted basis of 68.0 million shares.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-cash costs for equity-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and amortization of debt discount related to convertible debt instruments in connection with the adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009, were $12.6 million ($7.8 million net of taxes, or approximately $0.10 per share) in the quarter compared to $9.0 million ($5.5 million net of taxes, or approximately $0.08 per share) in the year ago period.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2009, included approximately $4.9 million ($3.0 million net of taxes) from previously discussed acquisition-related costs and a loss on the Company's prior corporate office lease due to the relocation of its corporate offices. Results during the current six month period also include an approximate $2.4 million ($2.0 million net of taxes) benefit from a gain on the sale of certain assets and a decrease in the Company's deferred tax liabilities.

On January 1, 2009, Waste Connections adopted SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51," the provisions of which, among others, require for all periods presented that (1) minority interests be renamed noncontrolling interests, (2) that a company present amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests, and (3) that a company present such noncontrolling interests as equity. Financial statements for the current and prior year periods reflect the adoption of SFAS 160 related to such noncontrolling interests.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking in nature, including statements related to our share repurchase program and our ability to fund our future growth, and statements related to the closing of the Sanipac acquisition. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates," or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Our business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) a portion of our growth and future financial performance depends on our ability to integrate acquired businesses into our organization and operations; (2) our acquisitions may not be successful, resulting in changes in strategy, operating losses or a loss on sale of the business acquired; (3) downturns in the worldwide economy adversely affect operating results; (4) our results are vulnerable to economic conditions and seasonal factors affecting the regions in which we operate; (5) we may be unable to compete effectively with larger and better capitalized companies and governmental service providers; (6) we may lose contracts through competitive bidding, early termination or governmental action; (7) price increases may not be adequate to offset the impact of increased costs or may cause us to lose volume; (8) increases in the price of fuel may adversely affect our business and reduce our operating margins; (9) increases in labor and disposal and related transportation costs could impact our financial results; (10) we could face significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate; (11) efforts by labor unions could divert management attention and adversely affect operating results; (12) increases in insurance costs and the amount that we self-insure for various risks could reduce our operating margins and reported earnings; (13) competition for acquisition candidates, consolidation within the waste industry and economic and market conditions may limit our ability to grow through acquisitions; (14) our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition; we may incur substantially more debt in the future; (15) each business that we acquire or have acquired may have liabilities that we fail or are unable to discover, including environmental liabilities; (16) liabilities for environmental damage may adversely affect our financial condition, business and earnings; (17) our accruals for our landfill site closure and post-closure costs may be inadequate; (18) we may be subject in the normal course of business to judicial, administrative or other third party proceedings that could interrupt our operations, require expensive remediation, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity; (19) the financial soundness of our customers could affect our business and operating results; (20) we depend significantly on the services of the members of our senior, regional and district management team, and the departure of any of those persons could cause our operating results to suffer; (21) our decentralized decision-making structure could allow local managers to make decisions that adversely affect our operating results; (22) because we depend on railroads for our intermodal operations, our operating results and financial condition are likely to be adversely affected by any reduction or deterioration in rail service; (23) we may incur additional charges related to capitalized expenditures, which would decrease our earnings; (24) our financial results are based upon estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results; (25) the adoption of new accounting standards or interpretations could adversely affect our financial results; (26) our financial and operating performance may be affected by the inability to renew landfill operating permits, obtain new landfills and expand existing ones; (27) future changes in laws regulating the flow of solid waste in interstate commerce could adversely affect our operating results; (28) fluctuations in prices for recycled commodities that we sell and rebates we offer to customers may cause our revenues and operating results to decline; (29) extensive and evolving environmental and health and safety laws and regulations may restrict our operations and growth and increase our costs; (30) we may not be able to obtain satisfactory regulatory approvals to operate acquired assets or consummate the acquisition of assets we seek to acquire; (31) extensive regulations that govern the design, operation and closure of landfills may restrict our landfill operations or increase our costs of operating landfills; and (32) unusually adverse weather conditions may interfere with our operations, harming our operating results. These risks and uncertainties, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. There may be additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial which could have an adverse impact on our business. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may change.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow:

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in the solid waste industry. Waste Connections defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, plus proceeds from disposal of assets, plus or minus change in book overdraft, plus or minus excess tax benefit associated with equity-based compensation, less capital expenditures for property and equipment and distributions to noncontrolling interests. This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP liquidity or financial measures. Management uses free cash flow as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of the Company's operations. Other companies may calculate free cash flow differently.

Reconciliation of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization:

Operating income before depreciation and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a valuation measure in the solid waste industry. Waste Connections defines operating income before depreciation and amortization as operating income, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus closure and post-closure accretion expense, plus or minus any gain or loss on disposal of assets. The Company provides adjustments to this calculation to exclude the effects of items management believes impact the comparability of operating results between periods. This measure is not a substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Management uses operating income before depreciation and amortization as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of our operations. Other companies may calculate operating income before depreciation and amortization differently.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per diluted share:

The Company provides adjusted earnings to exclude the effects of items management believes impact the comparability of operating results between periods. Adjusted earnings has limitations due to the fact that it may exclude items that have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company compensates for this limitation by using adjusted earnings in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures.
