NORWELL, Mass. – February 26, 2020 – Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental, energy and industrial services throughout North America, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.
“We concluded a strong 2019 with a solid fourth quarter, led by Environmental Services,” said Alan S. McKim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Overall, we leveraged our disposal network of incinerators and landfills, increased operating efficiencies and captured project volumes to drive an 8% increase in Adjusted EBITDA and grew Adjusted EBITDA margin by 100 basis points to 15.2%. Fourth-quarter adjusted free cash flow of $89.4 million contributed to a record $208.5 million of adjusted free cash flow for the full year.”
Fourth-quarter revenues increased to $871.0 million from $858.2 million in the same period of 2018. Income from operations grew 26% to $52.3 million.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $24.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. This compares with net income for the same period in 2018 of $16.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. Adjusted for certain items in both periods, adjusted net income was $23.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared with adjusted net income of $13.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the same period of 2018. (See reconciliation table below)
Adjusted EBITDA (see description below) in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased 8% to $132.2 million from $121.9 million in the same period of 2018.

Q4 2019 Review
“Within our Environmental Services segment, Adjusted EBITDA increased 9%, driving a margin improvement of 140 basis points,” McKim said. “Incineration utilization climbed to 89% from 86% a year ago, as our plants ran efficiently and we generated healthy volumes, fueled by a large project and supported by steady waste streams in our base business. Demonstrating the continued strong volumes we saw in the fourth quarter, our year-end deferred revenue balance was consistent with the end of the third quarter. Historically, during the fourth quarter we typically would see a decrease in our level of deferred revenue due to seasonal slowdowns from customers; this year we did not experience that slowdown. At the same time, landfill volumes increased 40% from the prior year, with healthy base business supported by several project wins. Field Services also had another strong quarter, with revenue growth of 7% that helped offset some weakness in industrial and energy-related businesses, particularly in Western Canada.
“Revenue in our Safety-Kleen segment increased 2%. Steady growth and pricing gains in the branch network offset a challenging environment for Safety-Kleen Oil, where base oil and blended pricing and the value of certain re-refining byproducts came under pressure,” McKim said. “Segment profitability was essentially flat, and margins were down due to these headwinds impacting the Safety-Kleen Oil portion of the business in the fourth quarter. Waste oil collection was stable at 55 million gallons, with a slightly improved charge-for-oil rate year-over-year and sequentially. Our direct lube program, while still below our internal targets, grew by approximately 30% in the quarter.”
2019 Financial Results
Clean Harbors revenues for 2019 increased 3% to $3.41 billion, compared with $3.30 billion in 2018.
Net income for 2019 increased to $97.7 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared with net income for 2018 of $65.6 million, or $1.16 per diluted share. Adjusted for certain items from both periods, the Company reported adjusted net income for 2019 of $105.9 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $70.8 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, in 2018. (See reconciliation table below)
Adjusted EBITDA (see description below) for 2019 increased 10% to $540.3 million from $491.0 million in 2018. Over the past three-year period the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA has grown at an annual compounded rate of nearly 11%.
“For the full year we achieved steady top-line growth and delivered record Adjusted EBITDA and record adjusted free cash flow,” McKim said. “We exceeded our Adjusted EBITDA margin target with an improvement of 90 basis points. We also advanced our organizational infrastructure and internal systems – including more focus on business analytics and development of robotic process automation tools – to help prepare Clean Harbors for its next stage of growth. Most importantly, for the second consecutive year we achieved the best safety performance in our 40-year history with our incident rate and other key metrics at record low levels. These outstanding safety results and our relentless commitment to safety are not only critical to keeping our workforce safe, but also enhance our ability to win new business, protect the communities in which we operate, and attract and retain talented people.

Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
“Looking ahead, our outlook for profitable growth in 2020 is supported by underlying industry trends, including our customers’ shift toward sustainability and the alignment of our environmental solutions with their objectives,” McKim said. “We start the year with a healthy backlog of waste streams in our disposal facilities. We see ample opportunities to continue to drive high-value waste streams into our network and capitalize on the growth of the U.S. chemical and manufacturing sectors. Our robust pipeline of remediation and waste projects is only likely to increase as the market contemplates its strategy to address widespread PFAS contamination.
“We expect Safety-Kleen to continue to grow in 2020 through its core branch offerings, re-refinery network and direct lube sales program. We are still in the early days for IMO 2020. While we ultimately expect it to benefit us on both ends of our re-refining spread, its longer-lasting and full effects will likely not be known for a few more months. Consequently, our annual guidance assumes no incremental profitability from IMO 2020. We will make every effort to take advantage of market dislocations created by the regulation, but the guidance we’re providing today is based on ongoing strength and gains in our core businesses,” McKim concluded.
For the first quarter, Clean Harbors expects Adjusted EBITDA to increase in line with the full year 2020 due to stable top-line growth, pricing gains and operational efficiencies.
For full-year 2020, Clean Harbors expects:
| • | Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $545 million to $585 million, based on anticipated GAAP net income in the range of $104 million to $147 million; and |
| • | Adjusted free cash flow in the range of $210 million to $240 million, based on anticipated 2020 net cash from operating activities in the range of $405 million to $455 million. |
Non-GAAP Results
Clean Harbors reports Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or other measurements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but viewed only as a supplement to those measurements. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, and therefore the Company’s measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Clean Harbors believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors since the Company’s loan covenants are based upon levels of Adjusted EBITDA achieved and management routinely evaluates the performance of its businesses based upon levels of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with its existing credit agreement, as described in the following reconciliation showing the differences between reported net income and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation
Clean Harbors reports adjusted free cash flow, which it considers to be a measurement of liquidity that provides useful information to investors about its ability to generate cash. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash from operating activities excluding cash impacts of items derived from non-operating activities, such as taxes paid in connection with divestitures, less additions to property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale and disposal of fixed assets. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net cash from operating activities or other measurements under GAAP. Adjusted free cash flow is not calculated identically by all companies, and therefore the Company’s measurement of adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
