CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS; UPDATES FISCAL YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE
Strategic Acquisitions and Steady First Quarter Execution Set the Table for a Strong Year of Performance
RUTLAND, VERMONT (April 30, 2026) — Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CWST), a regional solid waste, recycling and resource management services company, today reported its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026.
Key Highlights:
•Revenues were $457.3 million for the quarter, up $40.2 million, or up 9.6%, from the same period in 2025.
•Solid waste pricing was up 5.1% from the same period in 2025, driven by 5.3% collection price growth and 4.7% disposal price growth.
•Net loss was $(5.5) million for the quarter, as compared to $(4.8) million for the same period in 2025. Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP measure, was $12.8 million for the quarter, up $0.6 million, or up 5.2%, from the same period in 2025.
•Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $97.1 million for the quarter, up $10.7 million, or up 12.3%, from the same period in 2025.
•Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.3 million for the quarter, up $12.1 million, or up 24.2%, from the same period in 2025.
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, was $30.7 million for the quarter, up $1.6 million, from the same period in 2025.
•Acquired four businesses thus far in 2026 with approximately $150 million in aggregate annualized revenues, including $100 million associated with the previously announced acquisition of Star Waste Systems, LLC (“Star Waste”), which closed on April 1, 2026.
•Raised 2026 guidance for revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
“We are pleased with our strong start to the year as our execution delivered solid financial and operating performance in the quarter,” said Ned Coletta, President and CEO of Casella Waste Systems, Inc. “In addition, we have closed four acquisitions to date in 2026 as we continue to grow the business through our disciplined acquisition strategy. This early success provides momentum for the remainder of the year.”
“Our results were driven in part by our strong pricing programs, with positive landfill pricing of 4.3% in the quarter, including municipal solid waste pricing up 5.0% year-over-year, and total landfill tons also up in the quarter,” Coletta said. “Our floating fuel recovery fees were very effective during the quarter, fully offsetting the rapid rise in fuel costs across our legacy operations. Our operating programs remain focused as we continue to introduce more automation into our collection fleet, optimize routing, and further invest in safety and technology initiatives. From an acquisition integration perspective, our teams continue to make great progress as well and our plans are on track for the year. Overall, our efforts resulted in Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 50 basis points year-over-year in the quarter.”
“Our acquired revenues in 2026 have already outpaced last year and the pipeline remains robust,” Coletta said. “The acquisition of Star Waste improves our existing density and directly overlays our operating footprint in New England. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and once again would like to welcome aboard our new employees and customers related to each of our 2026 acquisitions.”
Q1 2026 Results
Revenues were $457.3 million for the quarter, up $40.2 million, or up 9.6%, from the same period in 2025, with revenue growth mainly driven by: the positive impact from acquisitions, including the rollover contribution from deals closed in prior periods; positive collection and disposal price; and strong National Accounts growth in our Resource Solutions operating segment.
1
Operating income was $4.9 million for the quarter, up $1.7 million, or up 54.5%, from the same period in 2025, reflecting improved operating performance; partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense and acquisition expense mainly related to acquisition growth.
Net loss was $(5.5) million for the quarter, as compared to $(4.8) million for the same period in 2025, largely driven by the same factors impacting operating income in addition to higher interest expense, net. Adjusted Net Income was $12.8 million for the quarter, up $0.6 million, or up 5.2%, from the same period in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was $97.1 million for the quarter, up $10.7 million, or up 12.3%, from the same period in 2025, driven by both acquisition contribution and organic growth.
