Public Debt Rating
Ratin A enc Ratin Outlook
Moody's Baal Stable
Standard & Poor's BBB+ Stable
Fitch Ratings BBB+ Stable
Republic Services, Inc. has the hi est credit rating in the solid waste industry. In December
2007, Moody's upgraded the credit rating for Republic Services, Inc. from Baal to Baal and
affirmed a stable outlook. The following is a quote from the Moody's statement that the
credit rating industry released on December 18, 2007:
"The upgrade reflects the company's consistent pace of internal revenue growth, the sustainability of its
profit margins, good liquidity and moderate leverage for the rating category. The upgrade also reflects
strong credit metrics and relatively conservative balance sheet for the industry. The ratings benefit from
a stable underlying business with limited available substitutes, the relative lack of cyclicality in the
municipal solid waste industry, the company's franchise contracts, diversified revenue stream, and
ownership of valuable, permitted disposal assets. Industry-wide challenges for the short-to medium
term may also include: weaker C&D volumes linked to a frail residential construction market, the
potential for a broader economic slowdown in the US encompassing non-residential construction
activity, and fuel price volatility.
"Notwithstanding the potential for a certain degree of cyclical pressure linked primarily to construction
activity levels, we anticipate continued revenue growth in the near term. Republic's business model,
moderate leverage and focus on franchise and integrated service markets provides additional downside
protection to creditors compared to other waste companies," stated Costas Chrysostomou, Vice
President and Senior Analyst."
Standard & Poor's affirmed the company's credit ratings on Dec. 4, 2006. The following
statement is a quote from Standard & Poor's statement that the credit rating agency released
on Dec. 4, 2006:
"The ratings reflect Republic Services Inc.'s position as the third-largest domestic solid waste services
company and its good credit protection measures."
"With annual revenues of $3 billion, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Republic provides waste collection,
recycling, transfer, and disposal services to about 3.5 million customers in 21 states. The current focus
is on internal growth and operational improvements, as seen by a number of initiatives aimed at
enhancing revenues, reducing costs, and increasing productivity."
"The outlook is stable. Republic's leading positions in most of its markets, the benefits from a growing
economy, reliable cash flow generation, and a moderately leveraged balance sheet should sustain
current credit quality in the intermediate term despite accelerated actions to enhance shareholder value."
