Clean Harbors Announces Second-Quarter 2025 Financial Results
NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Clean Harbors, Inc. ('Clean Harbors' or the 'Company') (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. 'Our second-quarter results reflect the consistent profitable growth of our Environmental Services (ES) segment, where we experienced strong demand for our disposal assets, and a stabilization of our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS) segment, where our collection strategies yielded favorable results,' said Mike Battles, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'We improved our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin by 60 basis points from a year ago through lowering our overall cost structure with a sharp focus on our SG&A spend. In addition, we posted the best quarterly safety results in our history by generating a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of just 0.40. We stand at 0.45 for the first half of the year – well on track to achieve our annual target as our programs and emphasis on working safely are helping to keep our employees protected.' Second-Quarter 2025 Results Revenues were $1.55 billion, flat with the same period of 2024. Income from operations was $210.3 million, compared with $215.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net income was $126.9 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, compared with $133.3 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA (see description and reconciliation below) increased to $336.2 million, compared with $327.8 million in the same period of 2024. Q2 2025 Segment Review 'Despite substantial growth in the year ago quarter, our ES segment still achieved 3% growth in revenue and 5% growth in Adjusted EBITDA. This revenue growth, combined with pricing and SG&A cost controls, enabled our ES segment to achieve its 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement in segment Adjusted EBITDA margin,' said Eric Gerstenberg, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'Top-line growth in the segment was led by Safety-Kleen Environmental Services, which rose 9% through pricing and growth in its core offerings. Technical Services revenue grew 4% on strength in disposal volumes. Incineration utilization, excluding the new Kimball incinerator, was outstanding at 89% as our facilities maximized throughput. Average incineration price rose 7% on a mix-adjusted basis. Field Services and Industrial Services performed well in the quarter, improving margins year-over-year.' 'Results in our SKSS segment were ahead of our expectations, supported by our waste oil collection strategies and success in aggressively managing our re-refining spread,' said Battles. 'We gathered 64 million gallons of waste oil in the quarter, which enabled us to hit our production goals. We believe that our shift to higher charge-for-oil (CFO) pricing, which has continued since our strategic program rollout last November, positions us well for the back half of the year. We currently expect to achieve our annual targets for this business in 2025, while reducing the volatility we've seen in recent years.' Business Outlook and Financial Guidance 'We enter the back half of 2025 with considerable momentum across our core markets, backed by a promising North American economic outlook as reshoring continues,' Gerstenberg said. 'While tariff uncertainty has impacted some customers in the short-term, we expect the tangible benefits of the recent tax bill and incentives to invest in American manufacturing to drive customer activity over the longer-term. We continue to see healthy overall demand from customers within our ES segment, resulting in a substantial project pipeline. Multiple customers are expected to proceed with remediation projects in the coming quarters, which will further support our disposal and recycling network. We are excited about the continued progress at our new Kimball incinerator, which achieved its Q2 volume target. We look forward to further ramping up the facility with a broader mix of waste streams in the second half of this year. For SKSS, our focus will remain on actively managing our collection rates and cost structure, while advancing value-added initiatives like our Castrol partnership and Group III production.' Battles concluded, 'We anticipate a strong second half of the year for the Company based on numerous tailwinds that should drive both top- and bottom-line improvement from a year ago. With an encouraging market outlook, we are also continuing to execute on our pricing strategies, cost mitigation and operational efficiencies to drive further margin improvement.' In the third quarter of 2025, Clean Harbors expects Adjusted EBITDA to grow 9-12% from the comparable quarter of the prior year. For full-year 2025, Clean Harbors is reiterating the midpoints of its prior guidance and expects: Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.16 billion to $1.20 billion, or a midpoint of $1.18 billion, which represents 6% growth year over year. This Adjusted EBITDA range is based on anticipated GAAP net income in the range of $383 million to $419 million. Adjusted free cash flow in the range of $430 million to $490 million, or a midpoint of $460 million, which represents a nearly 30% increase from prior year. This range is based on anticipated net cash from operating activities in the range of $775 million to $865 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 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 measurement 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 because the Company's management routinely evaluates the performance of its businesses based upon levels of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as described in the following reconciliation showing the differences between reported GAAP net income and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands, except percentages): Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation Clean Harbors reports adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, 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 less additions to property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale and disposal of fixed assets. When necessary, the Company adjusts for the cash impact of items derived from non-operating activities. 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. An itemized reconciliation between reported GAAP net cash from operating activities and adjusted free cash flow is as follows (in thousands): Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Reconciliation An itemized reconciliation between projected GAAP net income and projected Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in millions): Adjusted Free Cash Flow Guidance Reconciliation An itemized reconciliation between projected GAAP net cash from operating activities and projected adjusted free cash flow is as follows (in millions). The Company excludes significant one-time growth investments, which the Company expects to realize future long-term benefits from, as they are not indicative of free cash flow generation for the current period.

CLH Q1 Earnings Call: Clean Harbors Delivers In-Line Revenue and Margin Pressures Amid Segment Shifts
Environmental and industrial services company Clean Harbors (NYSE:CLH) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales up 4% year on year to $1.43 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.09 per share was 3.3% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy CLH? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $1.43 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.44 billion (4% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $1.09 vs analyst estimates of $1.05 (3.3% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $234.9 million vs analyst estimates of $232.6 million (16.4% margin, 1% beat) EBITDA guidance for the full year is $1.18 billion at the midpoint, in line with analyst expectations Operating Margin: 7.8%, down from 9.1% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$115.7 million compared to -$118.4 million in the same quarter last year Organic Revenue rose 2.6% year on year, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $12.26 billion Clean Harbors' first quarter results reflected stable demand in its core Environmental Services segment and deliberate pricing strategies in its Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions business. Management attributed performance to strong incineration utilization and pricing, ongoing contributions from recent acquisitions, and outperformance in used oil collection, despite weather-related disruptions and continued headwinds in industrial services. Co-CEO Eric Gerstenberg stated, 'Our ES segment began the year with an encouraging first quarter that included a strong contribution in March after a period of unfavorable weather in January.' Looking ahead, Clean Harbors maintained its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance, emphasizing steady demand in disposal services, continued ramp-up of the Kimball incinerator, and an expanding pipeline in PFAS remediation. Management remains cautious on industrial services but cited reshoring trends, regulatory momentum, and proactive cost controls as factors supporting the outlook. CFO Eric Dugas reiterated, 'We continue to expect demand environment and our pricing initiatives to support our anticipated profitable growth this year.' Management's remarks during the earnings call centered on segment-level drivers, pricing actions, and operational investments that shaped quarterly results. The company addressed weather-related headwinds, segment performance divergence, and updates on capacity expansion and regulatory dynamics. Incineration Utilization and Pricing: Clean Harbors achieved an 88% incineration utilization rate, excluding the new Kimball facility, and implemented mid-single-digit price increases. Management credited this to robust demand, capacity investments, and the successful ramp-up of the Kimball incinerator, which processed 5,000 tons in its first quarter of operation. Safety-Kleen Pricing Shift: In Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS), the company doubled its average charge for used oil collection since year-end by shifting to a charge-for-oil (CFO) model. This offset continued weakness in base oil prices and helped maintain volumes despite challenging market conditions. PFAS Pipeline Momentum: Management highlighted a growing pipeline for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) remediation, supported by recent EPA policy updates and ongoing regulatory developments. The company expects its incineration study results, relevant to PFAS disposal, to be published in the coming quarter. Industrial Services Weakness: Revenue in industrial services declined 10% year over year, attributed to refinery customers deferring maintenance and spending. Management noted that while some weather effects were temporary, broader refinery cost pressures persisted. Acquisition and Network Expansion: The HEPACO acquisition and the opening of new field service branches contributed to growth in field services, with 32% growth in this area. The company is also developing new processing hubs, such as the recently acquired Phoenix site, to further expand capacity. Clean Harbors' outlook for the remainder of the year is driven by expected growth in disposal and recycling services, continued ramp-up of new capacity, and evolving regulatory and market trends, with management balancing optimism about secular growth drivers against caution in more cyclical segments. Kimball Incinerator Ramp-Up: The Kimball facility is expected to process over 28,000 tons this year, contributing to higher network utilization and enabling growth in technical services and PFAS disposal. Regulatory Tailwinds and PFAS: Anticipated EPA and Department of Defense guidance on PFAS destruction is expected to boost demand for Clean Harbors' hazardous waste solutions, particularly as environmental standards tighten. Industrial Services Recovery Uncertainty: Management remains cautious on the timing of an industrial services rebound, with recovery hinging on refinery maintenance cycles and broader economic conditions. The segment is expected to lag the rest of the business in the near term. Tyler Brown (Raymond James): Asked about the extent of weather-related volume loss and whether it could be recovered in future quarters; management said some revenue is likely lost forever, though March and April showed improvement. Noah Kaye (Oppenheimer): Inquired about the PFAS remediation pipeline and the impact of new EPA guidance; management expects continued double-digit growth in PFAS-related revenue and views regulatory momentum as a long-term opportunity. James Schumm (TD Cowen): Pressed on base oil pricing weakness and SKSS inventory management; management explained aggressive pricing actions in used oil collection are offsetting lower base oil prices, and inventory costs are lower entering Q2. Larry Solow (CJS Securities): Questioned the resilience of Clean Harbors' business in a potential economic slowdown; management described most segments as 'recession resistant' due to the essential nature of environmental services. Adam Bubes (Goldman Sachs): Asked about organic growth cadence in Environmental Services and the impact of new field service branches; management expects organic growth to accelerate as weather normalizes and new capacity comes online. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the scaling of the Kimball incinerator and whether it meets or exceeds planned throughput targets, (2) regulatory and customer activity around PFAS remediation following anticipated publication of Clean Harbors' incineration study, and (3) signs of stabilization or recovery in industrial services as refinery maintenance cycles evolve. Expansion of new processing hubs and field services branches will also be tracked as potential drivers of incremental growth. Clean Harbors currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 28.8×.

Is Now The Time To Put Clean Harbors (NYSE:CLH) On Your Watchlist?
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But as Peter Lynch said in One Up On Wall Street, 'Long shots almost never pay off.' A loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the inflow of external capital may dry up. Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Clean Harbors (NYSE:CLH). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. The market is a voting machine in the short term, but a weighing machine in the long term, so you'd expect share price to follow earnings per share (EPS) outcomes eventually. That makes EPS growth an attractive quality for any company. Shareholders will be happy to know that Clean Harbors' EPS has grown 26% each year, compound, over three years. If growth like this continues on into the future, then shareholders will have plenty to smile about. Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. EBIT margins for Clean Harbors remained fairly unchanged over the last year, however the company should be pleased to report its revenue growth for the period of 8.9% to US$5.9b. That's a real positive. In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings and revenue, over time. To see the actual numbers, click on the chart. Check out our latest analysis for Clean Harbors Of course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for Clean Harbors. Owing to the size of Clean Harbors, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a significant proportion of the company. But we are reassured by the fact they have invested in the company. Indeed, they have a considerable amount of wealth invested in it, currently valued at US$650m. This suggests that leadership will be very mindful of shareholders' interests when making decisions! It means a lot to see insiders invested in the business, but shareholders may be wondering if remuneration policies are in their best interest. Well, based on the CEO pay, you'd argue that they are indeed. For companies with market capitalisations over US$8.0b, like Clean Harbors, the median CEO pay is around US$14m. Clean Harbors' CEO took home a total compensation package of US$5.3m in the year prior to December 2024. That's clearly well below average, so at a glance that arrangement seems generous to shareholders and points to a modest remuneration culture. While the level of CEO compensation shouldn't be the biggest factor in how the company is viewed, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense. You can't deny that Clean Harbors has grown its earnings per share at a very impressive rate. That's attractive. If that's not enough, consider also that the CEO pay is quite reasonable, and insiders are well-invested alongside other shareholders. This may only be a fast rundown, but the key takeaway is that Clean Harbors is worth keeping an eye on. However, before you get too excited we've discovered 2 warning signs for Clean Harbors that you should be aware of. While opting for stocks without growing earnings and absent insider buying can yield results, for investors valuing these key metrics, here is a carefully selected list of companies in the US with promising growth potential and insider confidence.

Those who invested in Clean Harbors (NYSE:CLH) five years ago are up 334%
It hasn't been the best quarter for Clean Harbors, Inc. (NYSE:CLH) shareholders, since the share price has fallen 14% in that time. But over five years returns have been remarkably great. In that time, the share price has soared some 334% higher! So it might be that some shareholders are taking profits after good performance. Of course what matters most is whether the business can improve itself sustainably, thus justifying a higher price. So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During five years of share price growth, Clean Harbors achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 34% per year. That makes the EPS growth particularly close to the yearly share price growth of 34%. Therefore one could conclude that sentiment towards the shares hasn't morphed very much. Indeed, it would appear the share price is reacting to the EPS. The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business.

Clean Harbors Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results
Clean Harbors, Inc. ('Clean Harbors' or the 'Company') (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. 'Our fourth-quarter results were in line with our expectations as our Environmental Services (ES) segment capped a record 2024 with a robust performance, including the 11 th consecutive quarter of year-over-year margin growth,' said Mike Battles, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'The segment benefited from steady demand, strong waste collection volumes, a healthy flow of project work and favorable pricing. For the full year the segment saw 11% top-line growth and annual Adjusted EBITDA margin exceeded 25%. We maintained a strong focus on safety and continuous improvement in the quarter, which contributed to a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) that enabled us to surpass our 2024 goal.' Fourth-Quarter 2024 Results Revenues grew 7% to $1.43 billion, compared with $1.34 billion in the same period of 2023. Income from operations was $137.0 million, compared with $147.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net income was $84.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, compared with $98.3 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (see description and reconciliation below) was $257.2 million, compared with $254.9 million in the same period of 2023. Q4 2024 Segment Review 'Our ES segment achieved a 9% growth in revenue and 11% growth in Adjusted EBITDA,' said Eric Gerstenberg, Co-Chief Executive Officer. 'Our Adjusted EBITDA margin in the segment increased by 50 basis points. Top-line growth in the segment was again led by our Field Services operations. Field Services revenue increased 47% from the prior-year period, reflecting the HEPACO acquisition and healthy organic growth in our legacy business. Technical Services revenue grew 8% on strength in our network. Incineration utilization was an outstanding 94% for the quarter, up from 85% in the same period a year ago. Safety-Kleen Environmental Services delivered 6% revenue growth in the ES segment.' 'Results in our Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS) segment reflected ongoing challenges in the U.S. base oil and lubricants market, as revenues declined 5% and profitability was down from the same period in 2023,' said Battles. 'In response to the weakening market conditions and pricing pressure, we took aggressive action in mid-November by shifting customers to a charge-for-oil (CFO) position. These actions, along with cost-cutting initiatives, were designed to help offset the weaker pricing conditions that have persisted.' 2024 Financial Results Revenues for 2024 increased 9% to $5.89 billion, compared with $5.41 billion in 2023. Income from operations increased 9% to $670.2 million, compared with $612.4 million in 2023. Net income was $402.3 million, or $7.42 per diluted share, compared with net income of $377.9 million, or $6.95 per diluted share for 2023. (See reconciliation table below). Adjusted EBITDA (see description below) grew 10% to $1.12 billion from $1.01 billion in 2023. The Company generated adjusted free cash flow (see description and reconciliation below) of $357.9 million in 2024, compared with $321.9 million in 2023. The increase is attributable to greater earnings and some improvements in working capital management which offset higher net capital expenditures. '2024 was another exceptional year for the Company, particularly in our ES segment where we saw the continuation of a multi-year profitable growth trend and record financial performance,' Gerstenberg said. 'Adjusted EBITDA margin in the ES segment expanded by 90 basis points to 25.3% on the strength of 11% revenue growth combined with a 15% increase in Adjusted EBITDA. Beyond our financial performance, we achieved significant operational milestones in 2024, including: Achievement of a TRIR of 0.65, Completion and commercial launch of our Kimball, Nebraska incinerator, Acquisitions of HEPACO and Noble Oil, Workforce growth and improved retention by lowering turnover by 250 basis points, Introduction of our Total PFAS Solution, Expansion of our Baltimore Hub, Partnership with Castrol for its MoreCircular offering, and More than 20,000 emergency response events. These developments illustrate our strategic execution and underscore our commitment to safety, growth, operational efficiency and market responsiveness.' Business Outlook and Financial Guidance 'We expect a year of profitable growth in 2025, led by our ES segment,' Gerstenberg said. 'A healthy backlog of waste streams across our disposal and recycling network is supported by favorable underlying trends expected in U.S. manufacturing, infrastructure spending and regulations, particularly as it relates to PFAS. We also continue to see a robust pipeline of remediation and waste projects as we move into the year. The commercial ramp up of our Nebraska incinerator is underway and our network is currently operating at a high level, efficiently and safely moving waste and utilizing all disposal assets. Our outlook for Field Services is decidedly positive given the early returns on the HEPACO transaction and the anticipated need for our comprehensive ER capabilities. We anticipate a return to growth in our Industrial Services business this year after a slower 2024, while SK Environmental Services should continue to drive record waste volumes into our network. 'Within SKSS, our focus will remain on actively managing our cost structure, particularly waste oil collection costs. In terms of growth strategies, we are directing our energies into areas such as our Castrol partnership, Group III production, blended sales and opportunities to capitalize on the sustainable products we offer.' Battles concluded, 'Overall, we believe we have the ideal strategies in place to deliver a great financial performance in 2025. In addition to increasing Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow, we anticipate continued Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement based on our pricing, cost reduction and productivity initiatives.' In the first quarter of 2025, Clean Harbors expects Adjusted EBITDA to grow 4%-6% year-over-year in its ES segment and be flat on a consolidated basis. For full-year 2025, Clean Harbors expects: Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.21 billion, or a midpoint of $1.18 billion, which represents 6% growth year-over-year. This Adjusted EBITDA range is based on anticipated GAAP net income in the range of $376 million to $427 million. Adjusted free cash flow in the range of $430 million to $490 million, or a midpoint of $460 million. This range is based on anticipated net cash from operating activities in the range of $775 million to $865 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 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 measurement 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 because the Company's management routinely evaluates the performance of its businesses based upon levels of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA 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, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except percentages): For the Three Months Ended For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Net income $ 83,974 $ 98,349 $ 402,299 $ 377,856 Accretion of environmental liabilities 3,317 3,386 13,456 13,667 Stock-based compensation 7,291 5,894 27,981 20,703 Depreciation and amortization 105,290 98,336 400,922 365,761 Kimball startup costs 4,343 — 4,343 — Other (income) expense, net (977 ) (3,148 ) 1,454 (2,315 ) Loss on early extinguishment of debt 371 518 371 2,880 Interest expense, net of interest income 34,197 28,195 134,964 108,595 Provision for income taxes 19,403 23,379 131,144 125,423 Adjusted EBITDA $ 257,209 $ 254,909 $ 1,116,934 $ 1,012,570 Adjusted EBITDA Margin 18.0 % 19.0 % 19.0 % 18.7 % Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation Clean Harbors reports adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, 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 less additions to property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale and disposal of fixed assets. When necessary, the Company adjusts for the cash impact of items derived from non-operating activities. 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. An itemized reconciliation between net cash from operating activities and adjusted free cash flow is as follows for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended For the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Adjusted free cash flow Net cash from operating activities $ 303,938 $ 278,860 $ 777,771 $ 734,552 Additions to property, plant and equipment (62,415 ) (110,394 ) (432,241 ) (422,300 ) Proceeds from sale and disposal of fixed assets 2,746 4,521 9,099 9,650 Kimball startup costs 3,253 — 3,253 — Adjusted EBITDA Guidance Reconciliation An itemized reconciliation between projected GAAP net income and projected Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in millions): For the Year Ending December 31, 2025 Projected GAAP net income $376 to $427 Adjustments: Accretion of environmental liabilities 15 to 14 Stock-based compensation 28 to 31 Depreciation and amortization 450 to 440 Interest expense, net 146 to 141 Provision for income taxes 135 to 157 Projected Adjusted EBITDA $1,150 to $1,210 Adjusted Free Cash Flow Guidance Reconciliation An itemized reconciliation between projected GAAP net cash from operating activities and projected adjusted free cash flow is as follows (in millions). Starting in 2025, the Company is excluding significant one-time growth investments, which the Company expects to realize future long-term benefits from, as they are not indicative of free cash flow generation for the current period.
