We believe that presenting EBITDA and EBITDA margin is useful to investors because they provide important information concerning our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. EBITDA and EBITDA margin demonstrate our ability to execute our financial strategy, which includes reinvesting in existing capital assets to ensure a high level of customer service, investing in capital assets to facilitate growth in our customer base and services provided, maintaining our investment grade credit ratings and minimizing debt, paying cash dividends, repurchasing our common stock, and maintaining and improving our market position through business optimization. Although depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion are considered operating costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they represent the allocation of non-cash costs generally associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior years.

We believe that presenting adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted tax impact, adjusted net income - Republic, and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use these measures, and believe investors will find them helpful, in understanding the ongoing performance of our operations separate from items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. We have incurred comparable charges, costs and recoveries in prior periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods.

Restructuring charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we incurred $6.3 million and $27.3 million, respectively, of restructuring charges primarily related to the redesign of our asset management, and customer and order management software systems as well as costs associated with the early termination of certain leases. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $6.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively, of restructuring charges primarily related to the redesign of our general ledger, budgeting, and procurement enterprise resource planning systems, which was completed with the systems being placed into production in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Gain on business divestitures and impairments, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a net gain on business divestitures and impairments of $1.5 million.

Adjustment to withdrawal liability for multiemployer pension funds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $2.2 million of withdrawal costs from a multiemployer pension plan.

US Ecology acquisition integration and deal costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $6.2 million and $24.3 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred acquisition integration and deal costs of $8.7 million and $65.4 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition of US Ecology. The acquisition closed on May 2, 2022. The 2023 costs primarily related to the integration of certain software systems as well as rebranding the business, and the 2022 costs included certain costs to close the acquisition and integrate the US Ecology business.

Loss on extinguishment of debt and other related costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million related to the early repayment of a portion of our term loan facility. We incurred non-cash charges related to the proportional share of unamortized deferred issuance costs.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The following table calculates our adjusted free cash flow, which is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Cash provided by operating activities	$	2,719.3	$	2,380.0
Property and equipment received	(960.1)		(832.5)
Proceeds from sales of property and equipment	25.0		24.0
Cash paid related to adjustments to withdrawal liabilities for a multiemployer pension fund, net of tax	0.3		2.2
Restructuring payments, net of tax	24.0		12.5
Cash tax benefit for debt extinguishment and other related costs	0.1		—
Divestiture related tax payments	0.3		2.2
US Ecology acquisition integration and deal costs, net of tax	18.5		73.4
Adjusted free cash flow	$	1,827.4	$	1,661.8

We believe that presenting adjusted free cash flow provides useful information regarding our recurring cash provided by operating activities after certain expenditures or recoveries. It also demonstrates our ability to execute our financial strategy and is a key metric we use to determine compensation. The presentation of adjusted free cash flow has material limitations. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent our cash flow available for discretionary payments because it excludes certain payments that are required or to which we have committed, such as debt service requirements and dividend payments.

Purchases of property and equipment as reflected on our consolidated statements of cash flows represent amounts paid during the period for such expenditures. A reconciliation of property and equipment expenditures reflected on our consolidated statements of cash flows to property and equipment received during the period follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Purchases of property and equipment per the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows	$	1,083.2	$	924.8
Adjustments for property and equipment received during the prior period but paid for in the following period, net	(123.1)		(92.3)
Property and equipment received during the period	$	960.1	$	832.5

The adjustments noted above do not affect our net change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accounts receivable were $1,829.7 million and $1,677.2 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $83.5 million and $51.9 million, respectively, resulting in days sales outstanding of 43.5, or 32.0 days net of deferred revenue, compared to 43.3, or 31.8 days net of deferred revenue, respectively.

CASH DIVIDENDS

In July 2023, we paid a cash dividend of $156.6 million to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we recorded a quarterly dividend payable of $168.5 million to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 2, 2023, which was paid on October 13, 2023.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of our stock for $201.1 million at a weighted average cost per share of $146.69. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining authorized purchase capacity under our October 2020 repurchase program was $1.4 billion.

RECONCILIATION OF 2023 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

The Company reiterates the full-year 2023 guidance ranges for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow provided in July. The Company now expects full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.30 to $5.33 and adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.46 to $5.49.

Adjusted EBITDA

The following is a summary of our anticipated adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

	(Anticipated) Year Ending December 31, 2023
Net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc.	$ 1,672 to 1,682
Provision for income taxes	360 to 370
Other (income) expense, net	(5)

Restructuring charges	35
Gain on business divestitures and impairments, net	(2)
US Ecology acquisition integration and deal costs	35
Adjusted EBITDA	$ 4,340 to 4,360

We believe that presenting adjusted EBITDA provides an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use this measure, and believe investors will find it helpful, in understanding the ongoing performance of our operations separate from items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. We have incurred comparable charges, costs and recoveries in prior periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

The following is a summary of anticipated adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

	(Anticipated) Year Ending December 31, 2023
Diluted earnings per share	$ 5.30 to 5.33
Restructuring charges	0.08
US Ecology, Inc. acquisition integration and deal costs	0.08
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$ 5.46 to 5.49

We believe that presenting adjusted diluted earnings per share provides an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use this measure, and believe investors will find it helpful, in understanding the ongoing performance of our operations separate from items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. We have incurred comparable charges, costs and recoveries in prior periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. Our definition of adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Our anticipated adjusted free cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is calculated as follows:

	(Anticipated) Year Ending December 31, 2023
Cash provided by operating activities	$ 3,495 to 3,540
Property and equipment received	(1,675 to 1,695)
Proceeds from sales of property and equipment	25
Restructuring payments, net of tax	30
US Ecology, Inc. acquisition integration and deal costs, net of tax	25
Adjusted free cash flow	$ 1,900 to 1,925

We believe that presenting adjusted free cash flow provides useful information regarding our recurring cash provided by operating activities after certain expenditures or recoveries. It also demonstrates our ability to execute our financial strategy and is a key metric we use to determine compensation. The presentation of adjusted free cash flow has material limitations. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent our cash flow available for discretionary payments because it excludes certain payments that are required or to which we have committed, such as debt service requirements and dividend payments. Our definition of adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our financial guidance is based on current economic conditions.
