Fourth Quarter 2022 Results
Full Year 2022 Highlights
Full Year 2023 Guidance3
VAUGHAN, ON, Feb. 21, 2023 /CNW/ - GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) ("GFL", "we", "our" or the "Company") today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, as well as guidance for full year 2023.
"Our employees delivered another exceptional year of results, outperforming our previously increased full year 2022 guidance," said Patrick Dovigi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GFL. "In 2022, strong execution drove our achievement of double digit, industry-leading revenue growth, including our highest to date Solid Waste core pricing increase of 9.9% for the fourth quarter, continued volume growth and acquisitions that outperformed expectations. We also grew Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter by 17.0% and demonstrated the effectiveness of our pricing and efficiency initiatives to counteract continuing inflationary cost pressures, resulting in organic Adjusted EBITDA margin2 expansion of 125 basis points, excluding the impact of fuel and commodity prices. Going into 2023, we believe with a high degree of visibility that the continued implementation of these initiatives will result in significant opportunities for outsized margin expansion."
Mr. Dovigi continued, "Driving operating leverage through our continued focus on pricing, improved asset utilization and cost optimization continues to be a top priority for 2023. The better-than-expected pricing momentum exiting 2022 allows us to begin 2023 with double digit pricing and positions us for over 100 basis points of Adjusted EBITDA margin2 expansion in the year, despite over 70 basis points of headwinds from commodity prices and the dilutive rollover impact of acquisitions. Any improvement to commodity prices during the year would provide incremental upside to our guidance. The ongoing development of our 21 RNG projects is another key priority for 2023. Although the in-year contribution from these projects is modest, they are expected to generate approximately $175 million of Run-Rate EBITDA2 by the end of 2025, which would result in approximately 140 basis points of incremental Adjusted EBITDA margin2 expansion."
"While we continue to manage a robust M&A pipeline, we intend to focus on realizing further synergies and opportunities from recent acquisitions. As a result, we expect a more tempered level of M&A in 2023, deploying approximately $300 million to $500 million on tuck-in acquisitions, returning to more historical levels of M&A in 2024."
"We continue to focus on rationalizing our portfolio of assets in order to maximize return on invested capital. We have identified three distinct U.S. Solid Waste regions for potential sale that we acquired as part of several recent larger acquisitions. We believe that these divestitures could result in gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion, the net proceeds of which could reduce Net Leverage2 to below 4.0x, positioning us for sustainable industry leading free cash flow growth over the mid-term. We have signed three letters of intent for these divestitures and expect to sign definitive agreements by the second quarter and close the transactions by the end of the third quarter."
"I am particularly proud of the meaningful advancements we made during the year on our ESG commitments. We published our 2021 Sustainability Report and established our Sustainability Action Plan which formalized our targets, goals and commitments. We received the NWRA 2022 Recycling Facility of the Year award for our Toronto Multi-Material Recovery Campus, the second time in the last three years that one of our MRFs has received this honor. Our continued ability to be a leading provider of sustainable solutions is a credit to the passion for our business of our almost 20,000 employees."
Mr. Dovigi concluded, "December 2022 was the 15th anniversary of the founding of GFL. In those 15 years, we have remained committed to implementing our fundamental priorities. This singular focus on creating value for our stakeholders is the foundation for our industry-leading performance in 2022 and our launch into 2023. I am excited about the many opportunities that still lie ahead of us."

Year to Date Results1
Full Year 2023 Guidance3
GFL also provided its guidance for 2023.
The 2023 guidance includes the expected contribution of acquisitions already completed but excludes any impact from acquisitions not yet completed, refinancing opportunities, divestitures of non-core Solid Waste operations and any potential redeployment of capital. Implicit in forward-looking information in our expectations for 2023 are certain current assumptions, including, among others, no changes to the current economic environment, including fuel and commodities. The 2023 guidance assumes GFL will continue to execute on its strategy to organically grow the business by leveraging its scalable network to attract and retain customers across multiple service lines, realize operational efficiencies and extract procurement and cost synergies. See "Forward-Looking Information".
GFL is considering the potential sale of certain non-core Solid Waste operations in the United States with a view to optimizing its portfolio. The full year 2023 guidance does not include the impact of these potential divestitures which could result in approximately $1,500 million of gross proceeds. These potential divestitures are expected to be accretive to Adjusted Free Cash Flow3 driven by annualized cash interest savings of approximately $100 million4 and annualized capex reduction of approximately $30 million to $35 million, which could result in estimated Net Leverage in the high 3x5 for 2023.
Environmental, Social and Governance
GFL views its Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") efforts as integral to its business, with initiatives consistent with its objective of long-term value creation for all stakeholders. In 2022, we released our 2021 Sustainability Report and established our Sustainability Action Plan which lays out a clear path to achieving our long-term goals, targets and commitments. Our Sustainability Action Plan is focused on the health, safety and engagement of our employees, increasing our recyclables recovered at our material recovery facilities, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions including through increased landfill gas capture and reuse, promoting and conserving biodiversity and investing in our communities through our Full Circle Project.

However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable U.S. or Canadian securities laws. The purpose of disclosing our financial outlook set out in this release is to provide investors with more information concerning the financial impact of our business initiatives and growth strategies.
Non-IFRS Measures
This release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, net income (loss) from continuing operations plus (a) interest and other finance costs, plus (b) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, landfill assets and intangible assets, plus (less) (c) the provision (recovery) for income taxes, in each case to the extent deducted or added to/from net income (loss) from continuing operations. We present EBITDA to assist readers in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors, to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric that management uses prior to execution of any strategic investing or financing opportunity. For example, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities and dispositions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by financial institutions to measure borrowing capacity. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding and deducting, as applicable from EBITDA, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (b) (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment, (c) mark-to-market (gain) loss on Purchase Contracts, (d) share of net income of investments accounted for using the equity method, (e) share-based payments, (f) gain (loss) on divestiture, (g) transaction costs, (h) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs (included in cost of sales related to acquisition activity), and (i) impairment and other. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we deducted our share of net income of investments accounted for using the equity method and adjusted for an impairment charge and insurance recoveries related to assets that were destroyed by fire during the year. As we continue to grow our business, we may be faced with new events or circumstances that are not indicative of our underlying business performance or that impact the ability to assess our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors use Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate a comparison of the operating performance of each of our operating segments on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business.
Acquisition EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, management's estimates of the annual Adjusted EBITDA of an acquired business, based on its most recently available historical financial information at the time of acquisition, as adjusted to give effect to (a) the elimination of expenses related to the prior owners and certain other costs and expenses that are not indicative of the underlying business performance, if any, as if such business had been acquired on the first day of such period ("Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments"), and (b) contract and acquisition annualization for contracts entered into and acquisitions completed by such acquired business prior to our acquisition. Further adjustments are made to such annual Adjusted EBITDA to reflect estimated operating cost savings and synergies, if any, anticipated to be realized upon acquisition 4 and integration of the business into our operations. We use Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses to adjust our Adjusted EBITDA to include a proportional amount of the Acquisition EBITDA of the acquired businesses based upon the respective number of months of operation for such period prior to the date of our acquisition of each such business.
Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities represents cash flows from operating activities adjusted for (a) operating cash flows from discontinued operations, (b) prepayment penalties for early note redemption, (c) transaction costs, (d) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (e) M&A related net working capital investment, (f) tax refund from CARES Act, and (g) cash interest paid on TEUs. Management uses Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of GFL. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities is a supplemental measure used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in our industry.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities adjusted for (a) proceeds from asset divestitures, (b) normalization for excess proceeds from asset divestitures, (c) proceeds on disposal of assets, (d) purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets, and (e) investment in joint ventures and associates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, proceeds from asset divestitures excluded proceeds received for the divestiture of GFL Infrastructure. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in our industry. Management uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow to evaluate and monitor the ongoing financial performance of GFL.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations represents net income (loss) for continuing operations adjusted for (a) amortization of intangible assets, (b) ARO discount rate depreciation adjustment, (c) incremental depreciation of property and equipment due to recapitalization, (d) prepayment penalties for early note redemption, (e) amortization of deferred financing costs, (f) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (g) mark-to-market (gain) loss on Purchase Contracts, (h) share of net income of investments accounted for using the equity method, (i) gain (loss) on divestiture, (j) transaction costs, (k) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (l) TEU amortization expense, (m) impairment and other, and (n) the tax impact of the forgoing. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we deducted our share of net income of investments accounted for using the equity method and adjusted for an impairment charge and insurance recoveries related to assets that were destroyed by fire during the year. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations divided by the weighted average shares in the period. We believe that Adjusted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations provides a meaningful comparison of current results to prior periods' results by excluding items that GFL does not believe reflect its fundamental business performance.
Net Leverage is a supplemental measure used by management to evaluate borrowing capacity and capital allocation strategies. Net Leverage is equal to our total long-term debt, as adjusted for fair value, deferred financings and other adjustments and reduced by our cash, divided by Run-Rate EBITDA.
Run-Rate EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to management's estimates of (a) Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments (as defined above) and (b) the impact of annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives, entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, in such period, as if such contracts or costs savings initiatives had been entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, on the first day of such period. Run-Rate EBITDA has not been adjusted to take into account the impact of the cancellation of contracts and cost increases associated with these contracts. These adjustments reflect monthly allocations of Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses based on straight line proration. As a result, these estimates do not take into account the seasonality of a particular acquired business. While we do not believe the seasonality of any one acquired business is material when aggregated with other acquired businesses, the estimates may result in a higher or lower adjustment to our Run-Rate EBITDA than would have resulted had we adjusted for the actual results of each of the acquired businesses for the period prior to our acquisition. We primarily use Run-Rate EBITDA to show how GFL would have performed if each of the interim acquisitions had been consummated at the start of the period as well as to show the impact of the annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives. We also believe that Run-Rate EBITDA is useful to investors and creditors to monitor and evaluate our borrowing capacity and compliance with certain of our debt covenants. Run-Rate EBITDA as presented herein is calculated in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit agreement.
