Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On February 17, 2026, Republic Services, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release containing information about the Company’s financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. Full-Year 2026 Financial Guidance Our guidance is based on current economic conditions. The Company expects full-year revenue to be in a range of $17,050 million to $17,150 million. Net income attributable to Republic Services, Inc. is expected to be in a range of $2,200 million to $2,220 million for 2026. Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (adjusted EBITDA) is expected to be in a range of $5,475 million to $5,525 million for the full-year. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income, plus provision for income taxes, which is expected to be in a range of $505 million to $515 million, plus interest expense, net, which is expected to be in a range of $575 million to $585 million, plus depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, which is expected to be in a range of $1,980 million to $1,990 million, plus loss from unconsolidated equity method investments, which is expected to be approximately $190 million, plus restructuring charges, which is expected to be approximately $25 million. Diluted earnings per share is expected to be in a range of $7.14 to $7.22 for the full year. The Company's adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in a range of $7.20 to $7.28. Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of restructuring charges. We believe adjusted EBITDA 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. Our definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Cash provided by operating activities is expected to be in a range of $4,460 million to $4,540 million for the full year. Adjusted free cash flow for 2026 is expected to be in a range of $2,520 million to $2,560 million. Adjusted free cash flow consists of cash provided by operating activities, less prope
