Forward-looking Information
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include information regarding our financial performance, financial condition or results, business strategy, growth strategies, budgets, operations and services. Particularly, information regarding our expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which we operate is forward- looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "targets", "outlook", "expects", "believes", or variations of such words. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts nor assurances of future performance but instead represent management's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances. This and other forward-looking information is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking information is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. In particular, it is difficult to predict the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy, our operations and our financial results. Implicit in the forward-looking statements in respect of GFL's expectations for 2020 are certain current assumptions, including, among others, that there are no changes to the current economic environment and that none of the jurisdictions in which GFL operates institute additional COVID-19 emergency measures including shelter-in-place or similar orders. Please refer to GFL's press release dated August 12, 2020 for further information.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Acquisition and in our business, including, without limitation: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Acquisition Agreement; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the consummation of the Acquisition, including but not limited to, the risk the U.S. Department of Justice may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the Acquisition on acceptable terms, or at all; the risk that the contemplated financing for the Acquisition described in this presentation is not obtained; risks related to disruption of the Company's management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations due to the Acquisition; the effect of the announcement of the Acquisition on the Company's business relationships, operating results and business generally; the risk that any announcements relating to the Acquisition could have adverse effects on the market price of the Company's shares; the risk that the Acquisition will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all; and the risk that the expected strategic benefits described in this presentation may not be achieved if the Acquisition is consummated. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated March 2, 2020 and the Company's other periodic filings with the SEC and the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these risks carefully in evaluating our forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information. The forward-looking information included in this presentation is provided as of the date of this presentation and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update this information to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this presentation represents our expectations as of the date of this presentation (or as the date they are otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable U.S. or Canadian securities laws.
Non-IFRS Measures
This presentation makes reference to certain measures that are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. It should be noted that companies calculate non-IFRS measures differently; as a result, the non-IFRS measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net Leverage and Run-Rate EBITDA. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. See slides 10-11 for definitions and reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures used herein.

Strategic Benefits
- Platform Acquisition in the Midwest and Southeast U.S.
- TheAcquisition provides GFL with an attractive opportunity to acquire an integrated solid waste management company servicing several regional markets in which GFL does not currently operate, thereby expanding GFL's U.S. footprint.
- Integration Opportunities
- The Acquisition provides a complementary asset network and customer base to GFL's existing operations, along with the assets to be acquired from WM/ADS' divestiture asset package in the southern US.
- Incremental Value Due to Synergies Identified
- Additional value is estimated from combining WCA and existing GFL operations, primarily through eliminating duplicative administrative functions and system integration.
- Create Long Term Shareholder Value

- Costs on existing debt yield average interest rate of ~ 5.1%.
- Current trading levels of the existing bonds range from 3.2% to 3.8%.
- In addition to the new financing, there may be a future opportunity to refinance existing notes at favorable rates.
Assuming US$750 million of new financing at an interest rate 25 bps above the current trading levels, incremental cash interest expense would be ~$35 - $40 million and total annual cash interest cost on our long- term debt would be ~$295 - $300 million.
