Insights

Equity research analyst

Guides 2025 revenue to low end of $16.675B–$16.75B; neutral.

Republic Services furnished quarterly and year-to-date results via Exhibit 99.1 and indicated full-year $16.675B–$16.75B revenue guidance, with expectations near the low end. This frames topline for investors without detailing margins or cash flow in this excerpt.

The guidance language narrows expectations but does not quantify a deviation versus prior outlook here. Without additional KPIs, this reads as a modest calibration rather than a thesis-changing revision.

Key reference points are the press release on October 30, 2025 and the stated revenue range. Subsequent disclosures may provide operating detail to assess profitability and volume trends.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking information about the Company that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Words such as “guidance,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “should,” “can,” “likely,” “could,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include information about the Company’s plans, strategies and prospects. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that the expectations will prove to be correct. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements are the impacts of the overall global economy and changing interest rates, impacts from international trade restrictions and tariffs, our ability to effectively integrate and manage companies we acquire, and to realize the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions, the impact of prolonged work stoppages or other labor disruptions, the amount of the financial contribution of our sustainability initiatives, acts of war, riots or terrorism, and the impact of these acts on economic, financial and social conditions in the United States, as well as our dependence on large, long-term collection, transfer and disposal contracts. More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, particularly under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors. Additionally, new risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such risk factors, or to assess the impact such risk factors might have on its business. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
