Revenues for the first quarter were
KEY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
- Organic revenues grew
2.1% compared to the first quarter of 2021 with Secure Information Destruction (“SID”) organic revenue growing9.5% , which was partially offset by Regulated Waste and Compliance Services (“RWCS”) organic revenue declining1.0% due to year-over-year reduction in COVID-19 related transactional volumes, such as vaccine and testing waste, international waste over-classification and patient engagement related call volumes. - In the latter portion of the first quarter, pricing actions began to partially offset the inflationary cost pressures that accelerated compared to the fourth quarter.
- Labor shortages improved in the latter portion of the first quarter as COVID-19 related absences and operational openings declined.
- The Company reached agreements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Brazilian authorities to resolve the FCPA related investigations into conduct in the Latin America businesses before 2017.
“We are reaffirming our annual guidance for 2022. As we mentioned last quarter, we anticipated that the first half of 2022 would have lower results compared to 2021. I am proud of how our team members overcame challenges from the Omicron variant and we are encouraged with our momentum as we exit the first quarter and look to the rest of the year,” said Cindy J. Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, I’m pleased with our announcement last week of our resolution of the legacy FCPA matter as it represents an important milestone in Stericycle’s transformation journey. Over the past several years, we have focused on instituting new policies, procedures and internal controls, as well as building a culture of compliance, integrity and accountability that aligns with our core values across our entire global operation.”
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Results
- Revenues in the first quarter were
$664.2 million , compared to$668.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. Of the$3.8 million decline, the impact of divestitures was$13.7 million , unfavorable foreign exchange rates was$6.0 million and the decline in RWCS organic revenues was$4.7 million . These were mostly offset by SID organic revenue growth of$18.4 million and the impact of an acquisition of$2.2 million . - Income from operations in the first quarter was
$5.9 million , compared to$59.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. The$53.2 million decline was primarily due to (1) higher cost of revenues mainly driven by increased operating labor costs primarily due to wage adjustments, overtime, and onboarding costs of approximately$11.0 million and higher supply chain and other inflationary costs of approximately$8.0 million and (2) higher selling, general and administrative expenses mainly driven by higher legal expenses of$12.3 million , including an additional accrual of$9.2 million related to the FCPA Settlement; bad debt expense of$5.1 million , as it returned to a more normalized level; higher selling cost of approximately$4.8 million , and higher medical claims of approximately$3.0 million . - Net loss in the first quarter was
$14.2 million , or$0.15 diluted loss per share, compared to net income of$26.1 million , or$0.28 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2021. The difference was primarily related to lower income from operations of$53.2 million , as explained above, partially offset by lower tax expense of$10.9 million . - Cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was an outflow of
$38.8 million , compared to an inflow of$62.6 million in the same period of 2021. The year-over-year decline of$101.4 million was primarily driven by the timing of changes in net working capital of$67.0 million , driven mainly by accounts receivables and accounts payables, and lower cash generated from income from operations of$34.4 million . - Cash paid for capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was
$37.5 million , compared to$24.7 million in the same period of 2021. The$12.8 million increase in capital expenditures was mainly attributable to the timing of cash payments.
Non-GAAP Results
- For the first quarter of 2022, organic revenues increased
2.1% , which excludes the impact of divestitures, an acquisition and foreign exchange rates. SID organic revenues grew9.5% , which was partially offset by RWCS organic revenue declining1.0% due to year-over-year reduction in COVID-19 related transactional volumes, such as vaccine and testing waste, international waste over-classification and patient engagement related call volumes. - Adjusted income from operations was
$59.0 million compared to$110.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenues, the 760 basis points decrease was primarily driven by ongoing IT operating expenditures of 200 basis points, labor costs of approximately 170 basis points, supply chain and other inflationary costs of approximately 120 basis points, bad debt expense of approximately 80 basis points, selling costs of approximately 70 basis points and medical claims of approximately 50 basis points. - Adjusted diluted earnings per share was
$0.32 compared to$0.71 in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact from divestitures, an acquisition and foreign exchange rates of$0.02 ; the remaining$0.37 year-over-year decline was driven by higher labor, supply chain and other inflationary costs of$0.15 ; higher ongoing IT operating expenditures of$0.11 ; and higher selling costs, bad debt expense and other of$0.11 . - Free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was an outflow of
$76.3 million , compared to an inflow of$37.9 million in the same period of 2021. The$114.2 million decrease was primarily due to lower cash flow from operations of$101.4 million and increased cash paid for capital expenditures of$12.8 million , as explained above.

| (2) | Organic growth is the change in Revenues which includes SOP (sorted office paper) pricing and volume and excludes the impact of divestitures, an acquisition and foreign exchange. |
| (3) | The comparisons at constant currency rates (foreign exchange) reflect comparative local currency balances at prior period’s foreign exchange rates. Stericycle calculated these percentages by taking current period reported Revenues less the respective prior period reported Revenues, divided by the prior period reported Revenues, all at the respective prior period’s foreign exchange rates. This measure provides information on the change in Revenues assuming that foreign currency exchange rates have not changed between the prior and the current period. Management believes the use of this measure aids in the understanding of changes in Revenues without the impact of foreign currency. |
