As Republic Services heads into the new year, the Phoenix-based company announced it outperformed expectations despite a 2020 filled with economic uncertainty.
Republic recorded core pricing at 4.8% in 2020, its highest level in the last ten years. Adjusted free cash flow of $1.24 billion also exceeded the original full-year guidance.
CEO Don Slager commented, saying “profitable growth remains our number one strategic imperative. And we continue to believe that investing in acquisitions with attractive returns is the best use of free cash flow to increase long term shareholder value.”
