Stericycle, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRCL), today reported financial results
for the second quarter of 2011.
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $410.4 million, up
18.0% from $347.7 million from the same quarter last year. Acquisitions
less than 12 months old contributed approximately $34.9 million to the
growth in revenues. The impact on revenues from foreign exchange in the
quarter was $7.4 million favorable. Gross profit was $186.7 million, up
15.6% from $161.5 million in the second quarter last year. Gross profit
as a percent of revenue was 45.5% compared with 46.5% in the second
quarter of 2010.
Net income attributable to Stericycle for the second quarter of 2011 was
$55.5 million or $0.63 per diluted share compared with $53.1 million or
$0.61 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010. Net income
attributable to Stericycle for the second quarter of 2011 reflected
various non-operational items, which taken together, resulted in
non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.69 (see table below). Our
non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 11.9% from our non-GAAP
earnings per share of $0.62 in the second quarter of 2010.

* In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), reported earnings per share include the after-tax impact of the
items identified in this table. For internal purposes, including the
determination of management compensation, the Company excludes these
items from results when evaluating operating performance. This table and
the Company's internal use of non-GAAP earnings per share are not
intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that
non-GAAP earnings per share is a better measure of performance than GAAP
earnings per share.
Cash flow from operations was $119.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2011.
