  • Revenue Growth: Operating revenue increased from about $4.89 billion in Q1 2023 to $6.43 billion in Q2 2025, reflecting consistent top-line growth over multiple years.
  • Net Income Improvement: Net income attributable to common shareholders rose from around $533 million in Q1 2023 to $726 million in Q2 2025, indicating improved profitability.
  • Stable Earnings Per Share: Basic and diluted EPS increased from about $1.30 in early 2023 to $1.80 in Q2 2025, supported by stable weighted average shares outstanding (~402-407 million).
  • Strong Operating Cash Flows: Net cash from operating activities grew from roughly $1.04 billion in Q1 2023 to $1.55 billion by Q2 2025, showing robust cash generation from core operations.
  • Capital Investments: Continuous investment in property, plant, and equipment with quarterly CAPEX generally exceeding $700 million, supporting business expansion and asset maintenance.
  • Acquisitions and Divestitures Activities: The company engaged in acquisitions and divestitures each quarter, with acquisition spend occasionally large (e.g., over $6 billion in Q4 2024), balanced by divestitures and other investing activities, showing active portfolio management.
  • Stable Dividend Policy: Cash dividends per common share consistently increased from $0.65 to $0.825, signaling commitment to returning value to shareholders.
  • Leverage and Debt Management: While the company maintains substantial long-term debt (around $15 billion in 2023 rising to over $23 billion by Q2 2025), it actively manages debt through issuances and repayments, impacting net cash from financing activities.
  • Operating Expense Growth: Selling, general & administrative expenses and depreciation expenses grew over the period, which could pressure operating margins if revenue growth slows.
  • Significant Impairment Charges in Certain Quarters: Notably high impairment charges (e.g., $246 million in Q4 2023) cause spikes in operating expenses, potentially signaling asset write-down risks or restructuring costs.

Summary: Waste Management has steadily increased its revenue and profits while generating strong operating cash flow. The stable EPS growth alongside rising dividends reflects a financially healthy company that rewards shareholders. The sustained capital investment and acquisition activity suggest a focus on growth and efficiency, while the management of significant debt levels remains a key area to monitor. Rising expenses and impairment charges highlight some operational risks, but overall, the financial trends paint a positive picture of growth and cash generation capability.
