*	Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.48 per share and adjusted free cash flow was $160 million; both were in-line with our expectations.

---

*	Revenue growth from average yield was 2 percent and volumes increased 2.5 percent. Volume growth included approximately 50 basis points from one additional workday.

*	Core price increased revenues by 3.4 percent, which consisted of 4.5 percent in the open market and 1.7 percent in the restricted portion of our business.

*	Adjusted EBITDA margin was 27.8 percent of revenue. The additional workday during the quarter lowered margin performance by approximately 50 basis points.

*	We returned $191 million total cash to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

*	We advanced our revenue enhancing initiatives that are focused on creating a better customer experience and further differentiating our service offerings. For example:

•	We continue to increase the number of customers that do business with us digitally. We now have over 1.4 million customers active and enrolled in our MyResourceTM customer portal and mobile app. These tools significantly enhance customer interaction and connectivity.

•	We continue to convert contracts from CPI to a more favorable pricing mechanism. We now have approximately $325 million in annual revenue that is tied to a waste-related index for the annual price adjustment.

*	We advanced our fleet-based initiatives designed to improve productivity and lower costs. Currently:

•	81 percent of our fleet is certified under our standardized maintenance program, up from 64 percent in the prior year

*	We completed the planning and design of our Charlotte Customer Resource Center, which opened on April 4, 2016. The new state-of-the-art facility and technology promotes better levels of customer service, and will enable us to lower our cost structure once the transition is complete. We expect to open the other two Customer Resource Centers in the second half of 2016.

*	We realigned our field support functions by eliminating our region offices, and consolidating and reducing the number of area offices. We reinvested a portion of the savings back into our area offices by creating additional operating and functional support roles, which puts resources closer to our business and our customers.
