“We delivered results above our outlook for the quarter in spite of headwinds from lower-than-expected contributions from higher margin, commodity-related activities and continued sluggishness in the economy, along with tariff-induced uncertainties.” “As anticipated, we have already completed an outsized year of acquisition activity, at approximately $200 million in annualized revenue, with a robust pipeline and almost half of the year still ahead of us. The strength of our financial profile and free cash flow generation keeps us well-positioned for additional acquisitions, while maintaining the flexibility for increased return of capital to shareholders, including through opportunistic share repurchases already underway.” Mr. Mittelstaedt added, “In spite of incremental and growing headwinds, our full year 2025 outlook remains within the ranges from February, providing for approximately 6% revenue growth and 50 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 33.0%. We remain well-positioned for upside from contributions from additional acquisitions, improvements in commodity-related activity and solid waste volumes.” Q2 2025 Results Revenue in the second quarter totaled $2.407 billion, up from $2.248 billion in the year ago period.
