… earlier in the release
  · The Company is affirming its adjusted operating EBITDA guidance of between $7.475 and $7.625 billion. (a)     · Free cash flow guidance remains between $2.8 and $2.9 billion. (a)     · Total Company revenue is now expected to be approximately $25.275 billion, which is at the low end of the Company’s prior guidance range. The decrease from prior expectations is primarily related to a further decline in recycled commodity pricing as well as modestly lower revenue expectations from WM Healthcare Solutions. (h)     · Projected adjusted operating EBITDA margin guidance has increased to between 29.6% and 30.2% from between 29.6% and 29.9% . (a)           Fish concluded, “We are pleased with our results in the first three quarters of the year across our business segments, which position us to deliver another year of double-digit adjusted operating EBITDA growth with record margin in our Collection and Disposal business and expanding free cash flow conversion. Looking ahead, 2026 is setting up to be a year of outsized free cash flow growth, with results expected to approach $3.8 billion next year. Our disciplined approach to capital allocation remains unchanged, and we are committed to translating this performance into strong shareholder returns.” (a)     (a) The information labeled as adjusted in this press release, as well as free cash flow, are non-GAAP measures.
