SECURE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS AND PROVIDES BUSINESS UPDATE
SECURE Waste Infrastructure Confirms Strong Q1 Earnings Amidst Pending GFL Acquisition Vote

Executive Summary
- SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. reported First Quarter 2026 financial results with Adjusted EBITDA of $137 million, a 13% year-over-year increase.
- Revenue for Q1 was $383 million; Net Income was $5.5 million ($0.16 per share).
- The company raised its 2026 growth capital investment guidance to approximately $100 million from the previous $75 million target.
- A shareholder vote on the proposed acquisition by GFL Environmental Inc. is scheduled for May 27, 2026.
- Transaction details remain consistent with prior announcements: Enterprise Value of ~$6.4 billion; consideration options include cash ($24.75), shares (0.4195 GFL subordinate voting share), or a mix.
- Quarterly dividend increased by 5% to $0.105 per share.
- Repurchased 985,072 common shares at an average price of $17.26 under the Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB).
- Operational updates include commissioning a new greenfield produced water disposal facility in Montney and progress on reopening an industrial waste processing facility in Alberta.
Material Impact
- The Q1 earnings results are strong but largely expected given the prior guidance of $520-$550 million Adjusted EBITDA for 2026; this confirms management's ability to execute without materially altering valuation expectations.
- The primary market driver remains the GFL Environmental acquisition announced in April 2026, which was already priced into the stock (trading near the $24.75 offer price).
- The earnings update serves as validation for the deal thesis, reducing execution risk regarding SECURE's standalone cash flow generation post-acquisition.
- There is no new material information that changes the transaction terms or valuation; thus, the impact on share price is neutral to slightly positive as it reinforces confidence in the pending vote.
- The increase in capital investment guidance ($75M to $100M) indicates continued organic growth momentum but does not alter the immediate M&A outcome.
