Statements that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect or believe may occur in the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to safe harbor created by those sections. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and may involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those forward-looking statements.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Such risks, uncertainties and factors include those set forth in "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II Item 1A, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Examples of these risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:


•	Significant public health crises, epidemics or pandemics, including the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;


•	our ability to achieve future profitability will depend on us executing our strategy and controlling costs;


•	future results may be impacted by the expiration of net operating losses (NOLs);


•	our tax position may be affected by recent changes in U.S. tax law;


•	operating in a highly competitive industry and the inability to compete effectively with larger and better capitalized companies and governmental service providers;


•	our results are vulnerable to economic conditions;


•	we may lose contracts through competitive bidding, early termination or governmental action;


•	some of our customers, including governmental entities, have suffered financial difficulties affecting their credit risk, which could negatively impact our operating results;


•	our financial and operating performance may be affected by the inability, in some instances, to renew or expand existing landfill permits or acquire new landfills. Further, the cost of operation and/or future construction of our existing landfills may become economically unfeasible causing us to abandon or cease operations;


•	we could be precluded from maintaining permits or entering into certain contracts if we are unable to obtain sufficient third-party financial assurance or adequate insurance coverage;


•	our accruals for our landfill site closure, post-closure and contamination related costs may be inadequate;


•	our cash flow may not be sufficient to finance our high level of capital expenditures;


•	our acquisitions, including our ability to integrate acquired businesses, or that acquired businesses may have unexpected risks or liabilities;


•	the seasonal nature of our business and "event-driven" waste projects that could cause our results to fluctuate;

Table of Contents


•	adverse and destructive weather conditions that could result in higher fuel costs, higher labor costs, reduced municipal contract productivity and higher disposal costs;


•	we may be subject in the normal course of business to judicial, administrative or other third-party proceedings that could interrupt or limit our operations, result in adverse judgments, settlements or fines and create negative publicity;


•	fuel supply and prices may fluctuate significantly and we may not be able to pass on cost increases to our customers;


•	fluctuations in the prices of commodities may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;


•	increases in labor and disposal costs and related transportation costs could adversely impact our financial results;


•	efforts by labor unions could divert management attention and adversely affect operating results;


•	we depend significantly on the services of the members of our senior, regional and local management teams, and the departure of any of those persons could cause our operating results to suffer;


•	we are increasingly dependent on technology in our operations and, if our technology fails, our business could be adversely affected;


•	a cybersecurity incident could negatively impact our business and our relationships with customers;


•	operational and safety risks, including the risk of personal injury to employees and others;


•	we are subject to substantial governmental regulation and failure to comply with these requirements, as well as enforcement actions and litigation arising from an actual or perceived breach of such requirements, could subject us to fines, penalties and judgments, and impose limits on our ability to operate and expand;


•	our operations being subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, as well as contractual obligations that may result in significant liabilities;


•	future changes in laws or renewed enforcement of laws regulating the flow of solid waste in interstate commerce could adversely affect our operating results;


•	fundamental change in the waste management industry as traditional waste streams are increasingly viewed as renewable resources and changes in laws and environmental policies may limit the items that enter the waste stream, any of which may adversely impact volumes and tipping fees at our landfills. Alternatives to landfill disposal may cause our revenues and operating results to decline;


•	risks associated with our substantial indebtedness and working capital deficit;


•	risks associated with our ability to implement our growth strategy as and when planned; and


•	the other risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II Item 1A, of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In addition, actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors related to the pending acquisition of Advanced Disposal, including, without limitation (1) risks related to the consummation of the merger, including the risks that (a) the merger may not be consummated within the anticipated time period, or at all, (b) the parties may fail to secure the termination or expiration of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (c) other conditions to the consummation of the merger under the merger agreement may not be satisfied, including obtaining stockholder approval; (2) the effects that any termination of the merger agreement may have on Advanced Disposal or its business, including the risk that Advanced Disposal’s stock price may decline significantly if the merger is not completed (3) the effects that the announcement or pendency of the merger may have on Advanced Disposal and its business, including the risks that as a result (a) Advanced Disposal’s business,

Table of Contents

operating results or stock price may suffer, (b) Advanced Disposal’s current plans and operations may be disrupted, (c) Advanced Disposal’s ability to retain or recruit key employees may be adversely affected, (d) Advanced Disposal’s business relationships (including, customers and suppliers) may be adversely affected, or (e) Advanced Disposal’s management’s or employees’ attention may be diverted from other important matters; (4) the effect of limitations that the merger agreement places on Advanced Disposal’s ability to operate its business, return capital to stockholders or engage in alternative transactions; (5) the nature, cost and outcome of pending and future litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the merger and instituted against Advanced Disposal and others; (6) the risk that the merger and related transactions may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; and (7) other economic, business, competitive, legal, regulatory, and/or tax factors.

The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks may emerge from time to time. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections regarding our present and future business strategies and the environment in which we will operate in the future. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change of events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement was based.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share data)


1.	Business Operations

Operations

Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), as a consolidated entity, is a non-hazardous solid waste services company which provides collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services. The Company manages and evaluates its principal operations through three reportable operating segments on a regional basis. Those operating segments are the South, East and Midwest regions. Additional information related to segments can be found in Note 10.

Acquisitions

No acquisitions were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Two acquisitions were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for aggregate consideration consisting of a cash purchase price of $24.9. Additionally, the Company made a $2.2 deferred purchase price payment during the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to an acquisition completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The results of operations of each acquisition are included in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations subsequent to the closing date of each acquisition.

COVID-19

The Company is experiencing volume declines in all of its lines of business except residential due to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and stay-at-home orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is taking a number of steps to respond to this challenge including the following:


•	Reducing or eliminating face-to-face interactions with its employees;


•	Executing on enhanced protocols to keep vehicles, common areas, and offices extra clean;


•	Procuring additional personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and cleaning solutions;


•	Reallocating resources, reducing overtime, and parking surplus equipment to reduce operating costs;


•	Rerouting where needed to maximize productivity and meet customer needs;


•	Flexing capital spending while still meeting business needs;


•	Significantly reducing travel and discretionary spending; and


•	Maintaining higher target cash balances and as of June 30, 2020 able to access $271.7 million of additional liquidity from its revolving credit facility supported by a diverse group of lenders.


2.	Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include its wholly-owned subsidiaries and their respective subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which, unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheet, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in equity for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company uses estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that it uses is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In preparing the Company's financial statements, the more subjective areas that deal with the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to: accounting for long-lived assets, including recoverability; landfill development costs; final capping, closure and post-closure costs; valuation allowances for accounts receivable and deferred tax assets; liabilities for potential litigation, claims and assessments; liabilities for environmental remediation; stock compensation; accounting for goodwill and intangible asset impairments; deferred taxes; uncertain tax positions; self-insurance reserves; and estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in any acquisition. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses in preparation of its financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 associated with the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The amended guidance replaces the previous incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable, with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates. The amended guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Based on the amended guidance, the Company estimates credit losses for uncollectible accounts based on an evaluation of the aged accounts receivable and the likelihood of collection of the receivable based on historical collection data adjusted for forward-looking economic conditions. The Company's adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.


3.	Revenue Recognition

Revenue by Segment

See Note 10 for information related to revenue by reportable segment and major line of business.

Capitalized Sales Commissions

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company capitalizes sales commissions as contract assets related to commercial and permanent rolloff collection customers and amortizes those sales commissions over the estimated customer life. The balance of capitalized sales commissions as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $4.5 and $4.7, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.4 and $0.4 related to capitalized sales commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense of $0.8 and $0.8 related to capitalized sales commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of the Company's performance. The decrease in the deferred revenue balance from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is primarily driven by $69.6 of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2019, offset by cash payments received or due in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations.

Practical Expedients

As allowed by ASC 606, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations related to its contracts and service agreements as the Company accounts for its revenue as variable consideration and has the right to invoice for services performed each period.


4.	Landfill Liabilities

Liabilities for final closure and post-closure costs for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are shown in the table below:



Balance at December 31, 2018	$	248.0
Increase in retirement obligation	11.0

Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each of the periods presented. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock equivalents outstanding adjusted for the effects of common stock that may be issued as a result of potentially dilutive instruments. The Company's potentially dilutive instruments are made up of equity awards, which include stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. Since the Company is in a loss position for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, no potentially dilutive common shares are included in the average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution for those periods presented.

No outstanding stock awards were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 3.7 million stock awards were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2020, because their effect was antidilutive. Approximately 5.4 million and 5.5 million of outstanding stock awards were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, because their effect was antidilutive.

All borrowings under the Term Loan B, Revolver and Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's current and future domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain agreed-upon exemptions. All guarantors are jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally liable. There are no significant restrictions on the Company or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

Revolver and Letter of Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an aggregate committed capacity of $300.0, of which $100.0 was available for letters of credit under its credit facilities. The Company’s Revolver is its primary source of letter of credit capacity and expires in 2021. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.0 and $30.0 of borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an aggregate of $28.3 and $28.5, respectively, of letters of credit outstanding under its credit facilities. The Company has ample liquidity available through its Revolver which is supported by a diverse group of lenders.

7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The following table summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets:



	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

2017 Interest rate caps	Other long-term liabilities	(0.6		)	(1.7		)
Total derivatives		$	(3.0	)	$	(4.1	)

The Company has not offset fair value of assets and liabilities recognized for its derivative instruments.

Interest Rate Caps

In November 2017, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements as cash flow hedges (the "2017 interest rate caps") to hedge the risk of a rise in interest rates and associated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The Company has applied hedge accounting to the 2017 interest rate caps; therefore, changes in the fair value of the 2017 interest rate caps are recorded in change in fair value of interest rate caps, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The 2017 interest rate caps commenced in 2019 and expire in 2021. The Company is paying the $4.9 premium on the 2017 interest rate caps in monthly installments beginning in October 2019. The Company recorded a loss of $0.2 related to the 2017 interest rate caps for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of which a $0.6 loss was recorded to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and a $0.4 gain was recorded in change in fair value of interest rate caps, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded a loss of $1.8 related to the 2017 interest rate caps for the three months ended June 30, 2019 which was recorded in change in fair value of interest rate caps, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded a loss of $0.4 related to the 2017 interest rate caps for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of which a $1.2 loss was recorded to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and a $0.8 gain was recorded in change in fair value of interest rate caps, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded a loss of $4.6 related to the 2017 interest rate caps for the six months ended June 30, 2019 which was recorded in change in fair value of interest rate caps, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The notional value of the 2017 interest rate cap contracts aggregated were $600.0 as of June 30, 2020 and will remain constant through maturity in 2021.

In May 2016, the Company entered into three interest rate cap agreements (the "2016 interest rate caps") as economic hedges against the risk of a rise in interest rates and the associated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The Company paid the $5.5 premium of the 2016 interest rate caps equally over eleven quarters beginning on March 31, 2017. The Company elected not to apply hedge accounting to the 2016 interest rate caps; therefore, changes in the fair value of the 2016 interest rate caps were recorded in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded a loss related to the 2016 interest rate caps of $0.5 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company recorded a loss related to

Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share data)

the 2016 interest rate caps of $0.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The notional value of the 2016 interest rate cap contracts aggregated were constant at $800.0 over their term and matured on September 30, 2019.

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 23.5% and 95.3%, respectively. The Company evaluates its effective income tax rate at each interim period and adjusts it accordingly as facts and circumstances warrant. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to state and local taxes. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the settlement of the IRS audit of the Veolia subsidiaries for tax years 2004 - 2012.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 50.0% and 75.4%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of income taxes on near break even pre tax loss.The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to state and local taxes. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the settlement of the IRS audit of the Veolia subsidiaries for tax years 2004 - 2012.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act is designed to bring economic and fiscal relief to companies, small businesses, and individuals due to the COVID-19 health crisis. In accordance with ASC 740, the income tax effects of the CARES Act should be reflected in the period of enactment. The CARES Act enacts changes to net operating losses limitations, carry back of net operating losses, changes to depreciation of certain property, the acceleration of refunds for Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”), changes to the deductibility of interest expense, the deferral of certain payroll taxes and the allowance of certain employment tax credits. The enactment of the CARES Act resulted in an additional acceleration of $1.5 of the minimum tax credit carryforward to the Company. The current assets of the Company include a receivable of $3.0 for the refund of AMT credit. The AMT credit refund has subsequently been received in early July 2020. The additional provisions of the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments

The Company has obtained letters of credit, performance bonds and insurance policies for the performance of the following: landfill final capping, closure and post-closure requirements; certain collection, landfill and transfer station contracts; environmental remediation; and other obligations. Letters of credit are supported by the Company’s Revolver (Note 6).

The Company does not expect that any claims against or draws on these instruments would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not experienced any unmanageable difficulty in obtaining the required financial assurance instruments for its current operations. In an ongoing effort to mitigate risks of future cost increases and reductions in available capacity, the Company continues to evaluate various options to access cost-effective sources of financial assurance.

Insurance

The Company carries insurance coverage for protection of its assets and operations from certain risks including automobile liability, general liability, real and personal property, workers' compensation, directors' and officers' liability, pollution, legal liability and other coverages the Company believes are customary to the industry. The Company's exposure to loss for insurance claims is generally limited to the per incident deductible, or self-insured retention, under the related insurance policy. Its exposure, however, could increase if its insurers are unable to meet their commitments on a timely basis.

The Company has retained a significant portion of the risks related to its automobile, general liability, workers' compensation and health claims programs. For its self-insured retentions, the exposure for unpaid claims and associated expenses, including incurred but not reported losses, is based on an actuarial valuation and internal estimates. The accruals for these liabilities could be revised if future occurrences or loss development significantly differ from the Company's assumptions used. The Company

Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(in millions, except share data)

does not expect the impact of any known casualty, property, environmental or other contingency to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Landfill Remediation

In fiscal 2018, the Company observed surface anomalies in specific areas of a landfill and received a proposed consent order, from a state environmental regulatory agency, outlining conditions required to be met at the landfill. As of June 30, 2020, $16.1 of expenditures related to the remediation accrual estimates have been incurred and $10.5 remains on the consolidated balance sheet which are expected to be incurred through 2023. These accruals include costs for an enhanced de-watering system and the associated removal, treatment, and disposal of leachate at the landfill. This amount could increase or decrease as a result of actual costs incurred to completion. Although it is reasonably possible this amount could change as a result of actual cost incurred to completion, the Company is unable to estimate a range of potential exposure due to the uncertainty of the remediation efforts required due to the nature of the process being undertaken.

Litigation and Other Matters

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various class action suits. Past suits have alleged the Company charged improper charges (fuel, administrative and environmental charges) that were in breach of the Company's service agreements. The Company reached a settlement for $9.0 (inclusive of plaintiff attorneys’ fees and costs), resolving four of these cases in fiscal 2019. One of these cases (the "Flaccus" suit) has not been settled and is still pending. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, including the early stage of the Flaccus case, the unknown size of any potential class, and legal and factual issues in dispute, the outcome of this case cannot be predicted and a range of loss, if any, cannot currently be estimated.

The Company is subject to various other proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary course of its business. Many of these actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. Actions filed against the Company include commercial, customer, and employment-related claims. The plaintiffs in some actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. These actions are in various procedural stages, and some are covered in part by insurance. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome and the range of loss cannot be currently estimated, the Company does not believe that the eventual outcome of any such action could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Approximately 13.8% of the Company’s workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements with various local unions across its operating regions. As a result of some of these agreements, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are participating employers in a number of trustee-managed multiemployer, defined benefit pension plans for the affected employees.

A complete or partial withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan may occur if employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement vote to decertify a union from continuing to represent them. The Company is not aware of any such actions in connection with continuing operations. As a result of certain prior discontinued operations, the Company is potentially exposed to certain withdrawal liabilities.

The Company does not believe that any future withdrawals, individually or in the aggregate, from the multiemployer plans to which it contributes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or liquidity. However, such withdrawals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for a particular reporting period, depending on the number of employees withdrawn in any future period and the financial condition of the multiemployer plan(s) at the time of such withdrawal(s).

10. Segment and Related Information

The Company manages and evaluates its operations primarily through its South, East and Midwest regional segments. These three groups are presented below as the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s three geographic operating segments provide collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services.

Fluctuations in the Company's operating results may be caused by many factors, including period-to-period changes in the relative contribution of revenue by each line of business and operating segment and by general economic conditions. In addition, its revenues and income from operations typically reflect seasonal patterns. The Company expects its operating results to vary seasonally, with revenues typically lowest in the first quarter, higher in the second and third quarters and lower in the fourth quarter than in the second and third quarters. This seasonality reflects the lower volume of solid waste generated during the late fall, winter and early spring in the East and Midwest segments because of decreased construction and demolition activities during winter months in these regions of the United States. In addition, some of the Company's operating costs may be higher in the winter months. Adverse winter weather conditions slow waste collection activities, resulting in higher labor and operational costs. Greater precipitation in the winter increases the weight of collected municipal solid waste, resulting in higher disposal costs, which are calculated on a per ton basis.

Additionally, certain destructive weather conditions that tend to occur during the second half of the year, such as hurricanes that most often impact the South region, can increase the Company’s revenues in the areas affected. While weather-related and other occurrences can boost revenues through additional work, the earnings generated can be moderated as a result of significant start-up costs and other factors, resulting in earnings at comparatively lower margins. These destructive weather conditions can result in higher fuel costs, higher labor costs, reduced municipal contract productivity and higher disposal costs in disposal neutral markets. Certain weather conditions, including severe winter storms, may result in the temporary suspension of the Company’s operations, which can significantly affect the operating results of the affected regions.

11. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Accounted for at Fair Value

In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured using unobservable Level 3 inputs. The Company also uses market data or assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate. The carrying value for certain of the Company's financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:



				Fair Value Measurement at June 30, 2020 Reporting Date Using
	Total			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Carrying Value

Recurring fair value measurements
Cash and cash equivalents	$	31.4		$	31.4	$	—		$	31.4
Interest rate caps - liability position	(3.0		)	—		(3.0		)	(3.0		)
Total recurring fair value measurements	$	28.4		$	31.4	$	(3.0	)	$	28.4

				Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2019 Reporting Date Using
	Total			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Carrying Value

Recurring fair value measurements
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12.5		$	12.5	$	—		$	12.5
Interest rate caps - liability position	(4.1		)	$	—	(4.1		)	(4.1		)
Total recurring fair value measurements	$	8.4		$	12.5	$	(4.1	)	$	8.4

The fair value of the interest rate caps are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about interest rates based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in fair value hierarchy).

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Company’s debt (Level 2) is estimated using indirectly observable market inputs, except for the Revolver for which cost approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate. Although the Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts using quoted market prices, considerable judgment is required in interpreting the information and in developing the estimated fair values. Therefore, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company, or holders of the instruments, could realize in a current market exchange. The fair value estimates are based on information available as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Revolver	$	—	$	30.0
Senior Notes	440.9		443.4
Term Loan B	1,329.3		1,379.4
	$	1,770.2	$	1,852.8

The carrying value of the Company’s debt at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $1,771.1 and $1,827.5, respectively.

12. Merger

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On April 14, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Waste Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Waste Management”), and a merger subsidiary of Waste Management. On June 24, 2020, the Company, Waste Management, and the merger subsidiary of Waste Management entered into Amendment No. 1 to the merger agreement. In exchange for agreeing to reduce the per share merger consideration to $30.30 per share in cash, the Company and Waste Management agreed to amend the terms of the original merger agreement to provide increased closing certainty to the Company’s stockholders, including by, among other things: (i) extending the end date from July 13, 2020 to September 30, 2020, which will be further extended automatically to November 30, 2020, subject to certain conditions; (ii) providing for a $250.0 termination fee payable by Waste Management to the Company in certain circumstances; and (iii) providing that Waste Management must use ‘‘best efforts’’ to take all actions to consummate the transactions by the end date, including using its ‘‘best efforts’’ to obtain antitrust approval, and eliminating the $200.0 revenue threshold on the divestiture obligation of Waste Management as provided in the original merger agreement.

In connection with entering into the merger agreement amendment at the request of Waste Management in furtherance of the merger, Advanced Disposal entered into a Securities and Asset Purchase Agreement with GFL Holdco (US), LLC (“GFL”), Waste Management, and solely for the purposes set forth therein, GFL Environmental Inc., dated as of June 24, 2020 (as amended on July 29, 2020), which was executed to address all of the divestitures anticipated to be required by the U.S. Department of Justice to obtain antitrust approval for the merger. Pursuant to such agreement, GFL will purchase certain equity interests and assets from Advanced Disposal and Waste Management for an aggregate purchase price of $863.5 subsequent to the merger between Advanced Disposal and Waste Management.

All dollar amounts are presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.

Overview

We are a leading integrated provider of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services, operating primarily in secondary markets or under exclusive arrangements. We have a presence in 16 states across the South, East and Midwest regions of the United States, serving approximately 2.7 million residential and over 200,000 commercial and industrial (C&I) customers through our extensive network of 95 collection operations, 73 transfer stations, 3 owned or operated material recycling facilities, 19 locations where we receive and bale recyclable material and 41 owned or operated landfills. We have 18 active landfill gas operations at solid waste landfills where landfill gas is captured and utilized for its renewable energy value rather than flared. We also have post-closure responsibility for seven closed landfills. We seek to drive financial performance in markets in which we own or operate a disposal facility or in certain disposal-neutral markets, where the disposal facility is owned by our municipal customer. In markets in which we own or operate a disposal facility, we aim to create and maintain vertically integrated operations through which we manage a majority of our customers' waste from the point of collection through the point of disposal, a process we refer to as internalization. By internalizing a majority of the waste in these markets, we are able to deliver high quality customer service while also ensuring a stable revenue stream and maximizing profitability and cash flow from operations. In disposal-neutral markets, we focus selectively on opportunities where we can negotiate exclusive arrangements with our municipal customers, facilitating highly efficient and profitable collection operations with lower capital requirements.

Geographically, we focus our business principally in secondary, or less densely populated non-urban, markets where the presence of large national providers is generally more limited. We also compete selectively in primary, or densely populated urban, markets where we can capitalize on opportunities for vertical integration through our high-quality transfer and disposal infrastructure and where we can benefit from highly efficient collection route density. We maintain an attractive mix of revenue from varying sources, including residential collections, C&I collections, landfill gas and special waste streams, and fees charged to third parties for disposal in our network of transfer stations and landfills.

Merger

On April 14, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Waste Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Everglades Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Parent. On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 14, 2019. Further details can be found in the Company's Form 8-K related to this matter, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2019, in the Company's Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2020 and the Company's definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2020.

COVID-19

We are experiencing volume declines in all of our lines of business except residential due to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and stay-at-home orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We are taking a number of steps to respond to this challenge including the following:


•	Reducing or eliminating face-to-face interactions with our employees;


•	Executing on enhanced protocols to keep vehicles, common areas, and offices extra clean;


•	Procuring additional personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and cleaning solutions;


•	Reallocating resources, reducing overtime, and parking surplus equipment to reduce operating costs;


•	Rerouting where needed to maximize productivity and meet customer needs;

Revenue

Through our subsidiaries, we generate revenue primarily by providing collection and disposal services to commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers. Our remaining revenue is generated from recycling, fuel and environmental charges, landfill gas-to-energy operations and other ancillary revenue-generating activities. Revenues from our collection operations consist of fees we receive from municipal, subscription, residential and C&I customers and are influenced by factors such as collection frequency, type of collection equipment furnished, type and volume or weight of the waste collected, distance to the recycling, transfer station or disposal facilities and our disposal costs. Standard C&I service agreements are typically three to five years, and we have historically maintained strong relationships with our C&I customers. Our municipal customer relationships are generally supported by exclusive contracts ranging from three to ten years in initial duration with subsequent renewal periods. Certain municipal contracts have annual price escalation clauses that are tied to changes in an underlying base index such as the consumer price index (CPI). We provide commercial front load and temporary and permanent rolloff service offerings to our commercial customers. While the majority of our rolloff services are provided to customers under long-term service agreements, we generally do not enter into written contracts with our temporary rolloff customers due to the relatively short-term nature of most construction and demolition (C&D) projects.

Our transfer stations and landfills generate revenue from disposal or tipping fees. Revenues from our landfill operations consist of fees which are generally based on the type and weight or volume of waste being disposed of at our disposal facilities. Fees charged at transfer stations are generally based on the weight or volume of waste deposited, taking into account our cost of loading, transporting and disposing of the solid waste at a disposal site. Recycling revenue consists of disposal or tipping fees and proceeds from the sale of recyclable commodities to third parties.

The amounts charged for collection, disposal and recycling services may include fuel charges and environmental charges. Fuel charges and environmental charges are not designed to be specific to the direct costs and expenses to service an individual customer's account, but rather are designed to address and to help recover changes in our overall cost structure and to achieve an operating margin acceptable to us.

Table of Contents

Other revenue is comprised of ancillary revenue-generating activities, such as trucking, landfill gas-to-energy operations at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, management of third-party owned landfills, customer service charges relating to overdue payments, customer administrative charges relating to customers who request paper copies of invoices rather than opting for electronic invoices and compliance and business impact charges.

The following table sets forth our consolidated revenues by line of business for the periods indicated (in millions and as a percentage of total service revenues).

The following table reflects changes in components of our revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Average yield	3.8	%	3.2	%	3.7	%	3.6	%
Recycling	0.2	%	(0.2	)%	—	%	(0.2	)%

Acquisitions	—	%	1.5	%	0.2	%	1.5	%
Total revenue growth	(9.2	)%	5.3	%	(4.5	)%	5.3	%

Average yield is defined as aggregate contribution of price changes excluding recycled commodities and fuel surcharge revenue.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced the following changes in components of our revenue as compared to the same period in fiscal 2019:


•	Average yield increased revenue by 3.8% driven by higher open market price yield as we continue to focus on disciplined pricing and higher price yield in our municipal residential collection business due to the positive impact of higher CPI contract resets;


•	Recycling revenue increased revenue by 0.2% due to a moderate increase in recycling commodity prices;

•

Fuel surcharge revenue decreased revenue by 1.0% due to a decrease in diesel fuel prices. These charges fluctuate in response to changes in prices for diesel fuel on which the surcharge is based and, consequently, any decrease in fuel prices results in a decrease in our revenue. Our fuel surcharges reset on a monthly basis therefore a decrease in our fuel surcharge revenue is delayed in comparison to the decrease in our fuel expense when diesel fuel prices decrease;

•

Organic volume decreased revenue by 12.2% or $51.1 due to the following: lower revenue of $25.6 due to the impacts of COVID-19; lower disposal revenue of $18.4 due to the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest and the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes; and lower commercial and rolloff collection volumes of $6.2 due to the loss of certain contracts and lower special waste volume in the South region. The decrease was partially offset by higher residential collection volume of $2.0.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced the following changes in components of our revenue as compared to the same period in fiscal 2019:


•	Average yield increased revenue by 3.7% driven by higher open market price yield as we continue to focus on disciplined pricing and higher price yield in our municipal residential collection business due to the positive impact of higher CPI contract resets;

•

Fuel surcharge revenue decreased revenue by 0.6% due to a decrease in diesel fuel prices. These charges fluctuate in response to changes in prices for diesel fuel on which the surcharge is based and, consequently, any decrease in fuel prices results in a decrease in our revenue. Our fuel surcharges reset on a monthly basis therefore a decrease in our fuel surcharge revenue is delayed in comparison to the decrease in our fuel expense when diesel fuel prices decrease;

•

Organic volume decreased revenue by 7.8% or $62.2 due to the following: lower revenue of $31.2 due to the impacts of COVID-19; lower disposal revenue of $24.2 due to the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest and the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes; lower commercial and rolloff collection volumes of $8.2 due to the loss of certain contracts and lower special waste volume in the South region. The decrease was partially offset by higher residential collection volume of $4.7 and the impact of $2.2 related to one extra company workday during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019;


•	Acquisitions increased revenue by 0.2% due to the completion of acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 that further enhance our vertical integration strategy.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include the following:


•	Labor and related benefits, which consist of salaries and wages, health and welfare benefits, incentive compensation and payroll taxes;

•

Transfer and disposal costs which include tipping fees paid to third-party disposal facilities and transfer stations as well as transportation and subcontractor costs (which include costs for independent haulers who transport waste from transfer stations to our disposal facilities and costs for local operators who provide waste handling services associated with markets outside our standard operating areas);


•	Maintenance and repairs expenses which include labor, maintenance and repairs to our vehicles, equipment and containers;


•	Fuel costs which include the direct cost of fuel used by our vehicles, net of fuel tax credits;


•	Franchise and host fees which consist of municipal franchise fees not paid to customers, host community fees and royalties;


•	Risk management expenses which include casualty insurance premiums, claims payments, estimates for claims incurred but not reported and casualty losses;


•	Other expenses which include expenses such as facility operating costs, equipment rent, leachate and sulfate treatment and disposal and other landfill maintenance costs;


•	Accretion expense related to landfill capping, closure and post-closure is included in operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, but it is excluded from the table below (refer to “Accretion of Landfill Retirement Obligations” below for a detailed discussion of the changes in amounts).

The cost categories shown above may not be comparable to similarly titled categories used by other companies. Thus, you should exercise caution when comparing our operating expenses by cost component to that of other companies.

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019

Operating expenses decreased by $34.9 to $237.9 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $272.8 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Operating expenses, excluding landfill remediation expenses, decreased by $25.3 to $237.9 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $263.2 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change was due to the following:


•	Labor and related benefits decreased by $4.6 or 5.2% to $83.6 which was primarily attributable to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease in medical claims activity;


•	Transfer and disposal costs decreased by $8.1 or 14.0% to $49.6 primarily due to lower third party disposal costs as a result of reduced container weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19 and a decrease in third-party transportation costs due to the impacts of COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in processing costs associated with single stream recycling;


•	Maintenance and repairs expense decreased by $1.4 or 3.4% to $40.3 primarily due to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a reduction in the overall level of repairs needed by our collection fleet due to lower collection volumes as a result of COVID-19;


•	Fuel costs decreased $8.7 or 43.7% to $11.2 as a result of lower diesel fuel costs per gallon and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19;


•	Franchise and host fees decreased $2.1 or 18.6% to $9.2 primarily due to lower landfill host fees due to the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest, the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes and lower disposal weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19;


•	Risk management expense increased $0.4 or 4.3% to $9.6 primarily due to higher loss experience associated with automobile and property liability claims;


•	Other operating costs decreased $0.8 or 2.3% to $34.4 primarily due to lower material purchases to support our previously acquired asphalt business and lower site maintenance costs at several facilities. The decrease was partially offset by higher leachate and gas treatment costs at several of our landfills partially due to weather related impacts.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019

Operating expenses decreased by $27.1 to $490.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $517.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Operating expenses, excluding landfill remediation expenses, decreased by $17.5 to $490.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $508.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change was due to the following:

•

Labor and related benefits decreased by $0.2 to $173.7 which was primarily attributable to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19. The decrease was largely offset by higher labor costs as a result of merit increases, increased medical insurance claims, increased labor demands associated with a new municipal contract win in the South region and the impact of one extra workday during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019;


•	Transfer and disposal costs decreased by $5.9 or 5.5% to $102.0 primarily due to lower third party disposal costs as a result of reduced container weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19 and a decrease in third-party transportation costs due to the impacts of COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in processing costs associated with single stream recycling;


•	Maintenance and repairs expense decreased by $0.8 or 1.0% to $80.8 primarily due to a reduction in the cost of truck and container repairs as a result of lower collection volumes as a result of COVID-19. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of one extra workday during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019;


•	Fuel costs decreased $11.2 or 28.8% to $27.7 as a result of lower diesel fuel costs per gallon and a reduction in productivity due to COVID-19 partially offset by the impact of one extra workday during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019;


•	Franchise and host fees decreased $2.7 or 13.1% to $17.9 primarily due to lower landfill host fees due to the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest, the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes and lower disposal weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19;


•	Risk management expense increased $1.2 or 6.5% to $19.8 primarily due to a lower discount rate (rates significantly declined in March, due to the impacts of COVID-19), used in the automobile and property liability actuarial analysis and due to higher loss experience associated with automobile and property liability claims;


•	Other operating costs increased $2.1 or 3.1% to $68.9 primarily due to higher leachate and gas treatment costs at several of our landfills partially due to weather related impacts and higher site maintenance costs at several facilities.

Accretion of Landfill Retirement Obligations

Accretion expense was $4.4 and $4.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and was relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue. Accretion expense was $8.9 and $8.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and was relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative

•

Our salaries expense decreased by $1.5 or 4.9% to $29.1 primarily due to the following: the timing of bonus accruals associated with our guaranteed bonus program adopted as part of the merger as further described in Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements; and lower stock based compensation expense. The decrease was partially offset by higher temporary labor costs needed to replace employees that are no longer with the Company in part due to the proposed merger;


•	Legal and professional fees decreased $10.2 to $5.6 due to a legal case settlement in the prior year as further described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements;


•	Other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.8 or 30.4% to $11.0 primarily due to lower bad debt expense than expected and a decrease in various company costs due the impacts of COVID-19.

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019

•	Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $0.1 or 0.3% to $34.6 which is relatively consistent with the previous period;


•	Landfill depletion and amortization decreased $6.3 or 22.5% to $21.7 due to lower disposal weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19; the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest; and the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes;

Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019


•	Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment decreased $0.4 or 0.6% to $69.7 which is relatively consistent with the previous period;


•	Landfill depletion and amortization decreased $7.0 or 13.9% to $43.5 due to lower disposal weights resulting from the impact of COVID-19; the loss of certain disposal volumes in the Midwest; and the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes;

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

Amortization of other intangible assets was $7.8 and $7.8, or as a percentage of revenue, 2.1% and 1.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amortization of other intangible assets was $15.5 and $15.6, or as a percentage of revenue, 1.9% and 2.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

In the ordinary course of our business, we regularly evaluate and pursue acquisition opportunities that further enhance our vertical integration strategy. We also regularly evaluate our current operations and consider divesting of those operations that do not provide us with an acceptable profit margin.

No acquisitions were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We completed two acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for a cash purchase price of $24.9. Additionally, we made a $2.2 deferred purchase price payment during the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to an acquisition completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The

results of operations of each acquisition are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations subsequent to the closing date of each acquisition.

Other income, net

Changes in the fair value and settlements of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and amounted to no gain or loss and a loss of $0.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Changes in the fair value and settlements of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting amounted to no gain or loss and a loss of $0.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income from equity investee for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was $0.0 and $0.3. Income from equity investee for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was $0.4 and $1.1. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the IRS closed audits of our previously acquired Veolia subsidiaries for tax years 2004-2012 therefore the Company recorded a charge to other expense of $3.9 to write off an indemnification receivable that was recorded as part of the 2012 purchase accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $6.4 or 24.4% to $19.8 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense decreased by $9.8 or 18.8% to $42.4 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to the impact of decreasing interest rates on our variable rate debt and the benefit from lower debt balances.

Cash paid for interest was $23.7 and 30.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash paid for interest was $38.7 and 48.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 23.5% and 95.3%, respectively. We evaluate our effective income tax rate at each interim period and adjust it accordingly as facts and circumstances warrant. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to state and local taxes. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the settlement of the IRS audit of the Veolia subsidiaries for tax years 2004 - 2012.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 50.0% and 75.4%, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of income taxes on near break even pre tax loss. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to state and local taxes. The difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate of 21% and reported income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of the settlement of the IRS audit of the Veolia subsidiaries for tax years 2004 - 2012.

Cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) was $0.8 and $0.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds) was $0.9 and $1.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Comparison of Reportable Segments—Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

South Segment

Revenue decreased $6.8 or 4.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in rolloff and commercial collection volumes of $9.3 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in disposal volumes of $5.7 primarily due to the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes and the impacts of COVID-19; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $1.0 due to the decline in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $6.2 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business and an increase of $3.5 in residential volume primarily due to a new municipal contract that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Table of Contents

Operating income from our South Segment increased by $10.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the following: a reduction in landfill remediation expenses of $9.6 as further described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements; a reduction in MSW disposal costs of $3.6 due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in fuel costs of $2.8 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; and a reduction of $1.5 in third party transportation costs due to the impacts of COVID-19. The increase was partially offset by the revenue decrease of $6.8 as described above.

East Segment

Revenue decreased by $16.2, or 14.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in disposal volumes of $12.1 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in rolloff, commercial and residential collection volumes of $8.0 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in trucking revenue of $1.6 primarily due to the impact of COVID-19; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $1.3 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $7.4 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business.

Operating income from our East Segment decreased $1.4 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue decrease of $16.2 as described above. The decrease to operating income was largely offset by the following: a decrease in third party transportation costs of $2.5 due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in labor costs of $2.3 which was primarily attributable lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease in medical claims activity; a decrease in fuel costs of $2.3 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; a decrease in maintenance and repairs expense of $1.4 due to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a reduction in the overall level of repairs needed by our collection fleet due to lower collection volumes as a result of COVID-19; lower disposal costs of $0.9 primarily due to lower MSW disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19; lower material purchases of $0.7 to support our previously acquired asphalt business and a decrease in host and franchise fees of $0.6 primarily due to lower landfill volumes as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, depreciation and amortization decreased $2.5 primarily due to lower disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19.

Midwest Segment

Revenue decreased $15.8 or 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in disposal volumes of $10.1 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in commercial, rolloff and residential collection volumes of $9.6 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $1.9 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $4.0 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business.

Operating income from our Midwest Segment decreased $3.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the $15.8 revenue decrease as described above. The decrease to operating income was partially offset by the following: a decrease in fuel costs of $3.0 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; a decrease in labor costs of $2.2 which was primarily attributable lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a decrease in medical claims activity; a decrease in host and franchise fees of $1.6 primarily due to lower landfill volumes as a result of COVID-19 and the loss of certain disposal volumes; lower disposal costs of $0.9 primarily due to lower MSW disposal volumes as a result of COVID 19 and the loss of certain disposal volumes; and a decrease in third party transportation costs of $0.9 due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the loss of certain disposal volumes;. Additionally, depreciation and amortization decreased $3.4 primarily due to lower disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19.

Corporate

Operating loss decreased $13.5 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the following: a $10.4 reduction in merger related expenses and a reduction of stock based compensation expense of $1.0.

Comparison of Reportable Segments—Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

South Segment

Revenue decreased $4.5 or 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in rolloff and commercial collection volumes of $13.7 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in disposal volumes of $9.6 primarily due to the cycling of strong prior year special waste and construction and demolition volumes and the impacts of COVID-19; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $1.3 due to the decline in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $12.2 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business and an increase of $7.0 in residential volume primarily due to a new municipal contract that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Operating income from our South Segment increased by $7.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the following: a reduction in landfill remediation expenses of $9.6 as further described in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements; a reduction in MSW disposal costs of $3.6 due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in fuel costs of $3.5 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; and a reduction of $2.2 in third party transportation costs due to the impacts of COVID-19. The increase was partially offset by the following: the revenue decrease of $4.5 as described above; higher labor costs of $2.8 as a result of merit increases, increased medical insurance claims, increased labor demands associated with a new municipal contract that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the impact of one extra workday during the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019; and higher transfer station and recycling processing costs of $1.9 primarily due to a new municipal contract that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2019.

East Segment

Revenue decreased by $17.2, or 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in disposal volumes of $14.3 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in rolloff, commercial and residential collection volumes of $10.7 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in trucking revenue of $2.8 primarily due to the impact of COVID-19; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $1.7 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $11.7 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business.

Operating income from our East Segment decreased $1.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue decrease of $17.2 as described above. The decrease to operating income was partially offset by the following: a decrease in third party transportation costs of $3.4 due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in labor costs of $2.3 which was primarily attributable to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19; a decrease in fuel costs of $2.9 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; a decrease in maintenance and repairs expense of $1.6 due to lower overtime wages as a result of COVID-19 and a reduction in the overall level of repairs needed by our collection fleet due to lower collection volumes as a result of COVID-19; lower disposal costs of $1.1 primarily due to lower MSW disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19; lower material purchases of $0.7 to support our previously acquired asphalt business and a decrease in host and franchise fees of $0.6 primarily due to lower landfill volumes as a result of COVID-19. Additionally, depreciation and amortization decreased $2.8 primarily due to lower disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19.

Midwest Segment

Revenue decreased $14.4 or 5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: a decrease in commercial, rolloff and residential collection volumes of $12.2 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19; a decrease in disposal volumes of $10.3 primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19 and the loss of certain disposal volumes; and a decrease in fuel surcharge revenue of $2.2 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in price yield from our collection and disposal operations of $8.9 as we continue to focus on disciplined open market pricing and receive the positive benefit from higher CPI contract resets in our municipal collection business and an increase in acquisition related revenue of $1.5.

Operating income from our Midwest Segment decreased $6.6 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the following: the decrease in revenue of $14.4 as described

Table of Contents

above and an increase in processing costs of $2.3 related to single stream recycling. The decrease to operating income was partially offset by the following: a decrease in fuel costs of $3.8 due to the decrease in diesel fuel prices and a reduction in fuel consumption due to COVID-19; a decrease in host and franchise fees of $2.2 primarily due to lower landfill volumes as a result of COVID-19; and a decrease in third party transportation costs of $0.9 due to the impacts of COVID-19. Additionally, depreciation and amortization decreased $4.3 primarily due to lower disposal volumes as a result of COVID-19.

Corporate

Operating loss decreased $15.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a $7.9 reduction in merger related expenses and a reduction of stock based compensation expense of $3.5. The remaining variance is related to a decrease in various general and administrative costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash are cash flows from operations, bank borrowings, debt offerings and equity offerings. We intend to use excess cash on hand and cash from operating activities, together with bank borrowings, to fund purchases of property and equipment, working capital, acquisitions and debt repayments. For this reason and since we efficiently manage our working capital requirements, it is common for us to have negative working capital. Actual debt repayments may include purchases of our outstanding indebtedness in the secondary market or otherwise. We believe that our current cash balances, cash from operating activities and funds available under our Revolver will provide us with sufficient financial resources to meet our anticipated capital requirements and maturing obligations as they come due. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had negative working capital which was driven by purchases of property and equipment and landfill construction and development as well as the use of our cash to fund debt repayments.

Table of Contents


•	A decrease of $11.8 in accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a increase of $10.2 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a positive variance of $22.0. Days Sales Outstanding was 46 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 48 during the three months ended June 30. 2019;


•	An increase of $7.1 in other long term liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a decrease of $1.7 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a positive variance of $8.8. The increase is due to deferred payroll tax credits as a result of the CARES Act and an increase in our self insurance reserves;


•	An increase in net income of $6.1, after adjusting for non cash items.

The increase was partially offset by the following:


•	A decrease of $7.1 in accounts payable and accrued expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to an increase of $19.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a negative variance of $26.9. The variance is primarily due to the timing of payments and accruals.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

We used $86.7 of cash in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $108.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $22.1. The variance was due to the following:


•	A decrease of $27.1 in cash expenditures used to fund acquisitions;


•	Higher cash expenditures of $4.1 used to fund the purchase of previously committed property and equipment and landfill construction and development;


•	Lower proceeds of $0.9 from sale of property and equipment and insurance proceeds.

Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $56.1 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $35.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The variance was primarily due to the following:


•	A increase in net payments on debt instruments of $35.9 as we used excess cash to make debt prepayments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to using the majority of our excess cash for acquisitions and merger related expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2019;


•	An increase in proceeds from stock option exercises of $15.6.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On November 21, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2012 (as amended and restated as of November 10, 2016, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and as collateral agent. The Amendment reduces our applicable margin on the Term Loan B by 0.50% per annum.

On November 10, 2016, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent (respectively, the “Administrative Agent” and the “Collateral Agent”), to the Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, dated as of October 9, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended and restated in accordance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes a $1.5 billion Term Loan B facility maturing 2023, and a $300.0 Revolving Credit Facility maturing 2021 (together our "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The Revolving Credit Facility allows for up to $100.0 million of letters of credit outstanding. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement and to call a portion of our 8.25% Senior Notes due 2020. All outstanding borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement were either repaid in full or converted to the new Senior Secured Credit Facility. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will bear interest at an alternate base rate or adjusted LIBOR rate in each case plus an applicable margin. The alternate base rate is defined as the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, or the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points. The LIBOR base rate is subject to a 0.75% floor.

Table of Contents

In the case of the Term Loan B, the applicable margin, as amended, is 1.25% per annum for ABR Loans and 2.25% per annum for Eurodollar Loans. In the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable margin is 1.75% per annum for ABR Loans and 2.75% per annum for Eurodollar Loans if our total net leverage ratio is greater than 4.0:1.0. If our total net leverage ratio is less than 4.0:1.0, the applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility is 1.25% per annum for ABR Loans and 2.25% per annum for Eurodollar Loans.

Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all our personal property assets, and certain real property assets, including all or a portion of the equity interests of certain of our domestic subsidiaries (in each cases, subject to certain limited exceptions).

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without premium. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties, and usual and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, additional indebtedness, investments, restricted payments, asset sales, mergers, affiliate transactions and other customary limitations, as well as a total net leverage ratio financial covenant (for the benefit of lenders under the revolving credit facility only). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains usual and customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, material breach of a representation or warranty, nonperformance of covenants and obligations, default on other material debt, bankruptcy or insolvency, material judgments, incurrence of certain material ERISA liabilities, impairment of loan documentation or security and change of control. Compliance with these covenants is a condition to any incremental borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and failure to meet these covenants would enable the lenders to require repayment of any outstanding loans (which would adversely affect our liquidity).

The Term Loan B has payments due quarterly of $3.75 with mandatory prepayments due to the extent net cash proceeds from the sale of assets exceed $25.0 in any fiscal year and are not reinvested in the business within 365 days from the date of sale, upon notification of our intent to take such action or in accordance with excess cash flow, as defined. Further prepayments are due when there is excess cash flow, as defined.

Borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $0.0 and $30.0 in borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an aggregate of approximately $28.3 and $28.5 of letters of credit outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had remaining capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $271.7 and $241.5, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Our ability to maintain compliance with our covenants will be highly dependent on our results of operations and, to the extent necessary, our ability to implement remedial measures such as reductions in operating costs. The Revolving Credit Facility has an annual commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum if the total net leverage ratio is greater than 4.0:1.0, or if otherwise, 0.375% per annum. The amount of commitment fees for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were not significant.

We are subject to a maximum total net leverage ratio of 6.8:1.0. The actual total net leverage ratio at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 4.3:1.0 and 4.3:1.0, respectively.

5.625% Senior Notes due 2024

On November 10, 2016, we closed a 144A offering (the “Notes Offering”) exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of $425.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”).

We issued the Notes under an indenture dated November 10, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per year. Interest on the Notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2017. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2024. At any time on or after November 15, 2019, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued interest.

Table of Contents

The redemption prices set forth in the indenture for the twelve month periods beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below are as follows:



Year	Percentage
2019	104.219	%
2020	102.813	%
2021	101.406	%
2022 and thereafter	100.000	%

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends (subject to certain exceptions) or make certain redemptions, repurchases or distributions or make certain other restricted payments or investments; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; transfer and sell assets; and create restrictions on dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries. Certain covenants will cease to apply to the Notes for so long as the Notes have investment grade ratings. The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by all of our current and future U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations, other than financial assurance instruments, which are not classified as debt. We do not guarantee any third-party debt.

Seasonality

We expect our operating results to vary seasonally, with revenues typically lowest in the first quarter, higher in the second and third quarters and lower in the fourth quarter than in the second and third quarters. This seasonality reflects the lower volume of solid waste generated during the late fall, winter and early spring in the East and Midwest segments because of decreased construction and demolition activities during winter months in these regions of the U.S. In addition, some of our operating costs may be higher in the winter months. Adverse winter weather conditions slow waste collection activities, resulting in higher labor and operational costs. Greater precipitation in the winter increases the weight of collected municipal solid waste, resulting in higher disposal costs, which are calculated on a per ton basis.

Financial Assurance

We must provide financial assurance to governmental agencies and a variety of other entities under applicable environmental regulations relating to our landfill operations for capping, closure and post-closure costs, and related to our performance under certain collection, landfill and transfer station contracts. We satisfy these financial assurance requirements by providing surety bonds and letters of credit. The amount of the financial assurance requirements for capping, closure and post-closure costs is determined by applicable state environmental regulations. The financial assurance requirements for capping, closure and post-closure costs may be associated with a portion of the landfill or the entire landfill. Generally, states require a third-party engineering specialist to determine the estimated capping, closure and post-closure costs that are used to determine the required amount of financial assurance for a landfill. The amount of financial assurance required can, and generally will, differ from the obligation determined and recorded under U.S. GAAP. The amount of the financial assurance requirements related to contract performance varies by contract. Additionally, we must provide financial assurance for our insurance program and collateral for

Table of Contents

certain performance obligations. We do not expect a material increase in financial assurance requirements in the foreseeable future, although the mix of financial assurance instruments may change.

These financial instruments are issued in the normal course of business and are not considered company indebtedness. Because we currently have no liability for these financial assurance instruments, they are not reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, we record capping, closure and post-closure liabilities and self-insurance liabilities as they are incurred. The underlying obligations of the financial assurance instruments, in excess of those already reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, would be recorded if it is probable that we would be unable to fulfill our related obligations. We do not expect this to occur.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and changes in the business environment. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management’s most subjective judgments. A summary of significant accounting policies is disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are further described under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management (including the principal executive and financial officers) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as described further in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15f of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the second quarter of 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to

materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
