Covanta Holding Corporation Reports 2014 First Quarter Results and Affirms 2014 Guidance

MORRISTOWN, NJ--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2014) - Covanta Holding Corporation (NYSE: CVA) ("Covanta" or the "Company"), a leading global owner and operator of Energy-from-Waste ("EfW") projects, reported financial results today for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

		Three Months Ended
		March 31,
		2014			2013
Continuing Operations		(Unaudited, $ in millions, except per share amounts)
Revenue		$	401		$	372
Net Loss from Continuing Operations		$	(9)		$	(24)
Adjusted EBITDA		$	87		$	61
Free Cash Flow		$	67		$	27
Adjusted EPS		$	(0.03)		$	(0.19)

Q1 2014 Highlights:

• Higher energy prices due to the cold weather had a net positive effect on results
• Signed contract extension with Fairfax County, Virginia client - begins February 2016
• Increased cash dividend by 9% to annualized $0.72 per share

Commenting on Covanta's first quarter performance and 2014 outlook, Anthony Orlando, Covanta's President and CEO stated, "All of our key metrics came in better than last year, largely due to higher energy prices and the timing of planned maintenance. Our steady operations during the cold winter weather resulted in a net benefit, with higher energy prices partially offset by a number of factors. This was all generally consistent with our expectations and our full year guidance outlook is unchanged." 

First Quarter Results - From Continuing Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, total operating revenues increased by $29 million to $401 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher waste tons processed and higher energy pricing at both EfW and biomass facilities, the Camden acquisition in 2013, and our successful efforts to increase the quantity and quality of the metal we recover. These benefits were partially offset by lower construction revenue and lower debt service revenue.

Excluding certain items⁽¹⁾, operating expenses decreased by $3 million to $377 million. The decrease was due to less scheduled maintenance activity due to timing, lower construction expense, and higher renewable energy credits (accounted for as a contra expense), which were partially offset by higher fuel costs and the Camden acquisition. As a result, operating income improved by $32 million to $24 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. 

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $26 million to $87 million. The improvement was largely driven by higher energy prices and timing of scheduled maintenance activity.

Free Cash Flow improved by $40 million to $67 million in 2014, driven primarily by the improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and the timing of construction working capital.

Adjusted EPS increased by $0.16 to $(0.03) in 2014. The improvement was primarily due to higher operating income.

Dividend
During the quarter, the Company increased its cash dividend by 9% to an annualized $0.72 per share.

The Company is affirming guidance for 2014 for the following key metrics:

	-- We completed amendments related to our credit facilities. The amendments raised the revolving credit facility maximum available credit by a $100 million to $1.0 billion and extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility by two additional years through March 2019, and reduced the interest rate on the term loan by 25 basis points.
	-- We made a voluntary prepayment on the term loan of $95 million, consisting of principal and accrued interest, reducing the outstanding principal to $200 million.
As a result of these transactions, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2 million, pre-tax, consisting of the write-off of deferred financing costs and discounts related to the pre-amended credit facilities. We incurred $10 million in costs related to these transactions which have been paid as of March 31, 2014.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use a number of different financial measures, both United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and non-GAAP, in assessing the overall performance of our business. To supplement our assessment of results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use the measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS as described below, and used in the tables above, are not intended as a substitute or as an alternative to net income, cash flow provided by operating activities or diluted income per share as indicators of our performance or liquidity or any other measures of performance or liquidity derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

The presentations of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EPS are intended to enhance the usefulness of our financial information by providing measures which management internally use to assess and evaluate the overall performance of its business and those of possible acquisition candidates, and highlight trends in the overall business.

Adjusted EBITDA

We use Adjusted EBITDA to provide further information that is useful to an understanding of the financial covenants contained in the credit facilities as of March 31, 2014 of our most significant subsidiary, Covanta Energy, through which we conduct our core waste and energy services business, and as additional ways of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our core business. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition in Covanta Energy's credit facilities as of March 31, 2014, which we have guaranteed. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for additional items subtracted from or added to net income. Because our business is substantially comprised of that of Covanta Energy, our financial performance is substantially similar to that of Covanta Energy. For this reason, and in order to avoid use of multiple financial measures which are not all from the same entity, the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and other financial measures presented herein are ours, measured on a consolidated basis for continuing operations, less the results of operations of our insurance subsidiaries. 

Under the credit facilities as of March 31, 2014, Covanta Energy is required to satisfy certain financial covenants, including certain ratios of which Adjusted EBITDA is an important component. Compliance with such financial covenants is expected to be the principal limiting factor which will affect our ability to engage in a broad range of activities in furtherance of our business, including making certain investments, acquiring businesses and incurring additional debt. Covanta Energy was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2014. Failure to comply with such financial covenants could result in a default under these credit facilities, which default would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and liquidity.

These financial covenants are measured on a trailing four quarter period basis and the material covenants are as follows:

• maximum Covanta Energy leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, which measures Covanta Energy's Consolidated Adjusted Debt (which is the principal amount of its consolidated debt less certain restricted funds dedicated to repayment of project debt principal and construction costs) to its Adjusted EBITDA (which for purposes of calculating the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, is adjusted on a pro forma basis for acquisitions and dispositions made during the relevant period); and
  
  
• minimum Covanta Energy interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, which measures Covanta Energy's Adjusted EBITDA to its consolidated interest expense plus certain interest expense of ours, to the extent paid by Covanta Energy.

In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to net income from continuing operations and cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations, which are believed to be the most directly comparable measures under GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations, excluding the cash flow provided by or used in our insurance subsidiaries, less maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures primarily to maintain our existing facilities. We use the non-GAAP measure of Free Cash Flow as a criterion of liquidity and performance-based components of employee compensation. We use Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity to determine amounts we can reinvest in our core businesses, such as amounts available to make acquisitions, invest in construction of new projects, make principal payments on debt, or amounts we can return to our stockholders through dividends and/or stock repurchases.

In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Free Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to cash flow provided by operating activities from continuing operations, which we believe to be the most directly comparable measure under GAAP.

Adjusted EPS 

Adjusted EPS excludes certain income and expense items that are not representative of our ongoing business and operations, which are included in the calculation of Diluted Earnings Per Share in accordance with GAAP. The following items are not all-inclusive, but are examples of reconciling items in prior comparative and future periods. They would include the results of operations of our insurance subsidiaries, write-off of assets and liabilities, the effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, significant gains or losses from the disposition or restructuring of businesses, gains and losses on assets held for sale, transaction-related costs, income and loss on the extinguishment of debt and other significant items that would not be representative of our ongoing business.

We will use the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EPS to enhance the usefulness of our financial information by providing a measure which management internally uses to assess and evaluate the overall performance and highlight trends in the ongoing business.

In order to provide a meaningful basis for comparison, we are providing information with respect to our Adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to diluted income per share from continuing operations, which is believed to be the most directly comparable measure under GAAP.
