"I am very pleased with our team's performance.

Stephen J. Jones, Covanta's incoming President and CEO, further stated, "I am extremely excited for the opportunity to lead such a dynamic organization. The Company has a solid base business that generates strong free cash flow, which allows us tremendous flexibility to invest in strategic growth opportunities while also returning capital to shareholders. I'm looking forward to joining the best team in the industry, which is always focused on improving operations to better serve our clients, and engaging with all of Covanta's stakeholders."
Full Year 2014
– From Continuing Operations
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, total revenues increased by $52 million to $1,682 million from $1,630 million in 2013. The primary driver for the increase was North America EfW revenue, which increased by $39 million.
Same store North America EfW revenue increased by $49 million as follows:
- waste and service revenues increased by $14 million;
- energy revenues increased by $17 million, driven by an $11 million increase related to higher prices and a $7 million increase related to higher energy production; and
- recycled metals revenues increased by $17 million, driven by a $13 million increase in volume, primarily as a result of capital investment to increase recovery rates, and a $5 million increase due to higher market prices.
Also within North America EfW revenue, contract transitions, including lower debt service revenues, resulted in a decrease of $18 million. Transactions, primarily related to the full year impact from the Camden facility acquisition, increased revenue by $11 million.
Other operating revenues decreased by $21 million, primarily due to lower construction revenue, while non-EfW waste and services revenues in the North America segment increased by $19 million, primarily due to transfer stations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2013.
All other energy revenue (non-EfW operations) increased by $10 million on a consolidated basis, driven by a $2 million increase in revenue from biomass operations due to higher energy prices and $8 million in higher steam revenue from a facility in China.
Excluding write-offs (2), operating expenses increased by $81 million to $1,475 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to:
- a $23 million increase in North America EfW plant operating expenses primarily resulting from an $11 million increase in EfW same store plant operating expenses and an $11 million increase due to transactions;
- a $40 million increase in North America segment non-EfW plant operating expenses, primarily related to additional expenses from transfer stations acquired in the fourth quarter of 2013, higher wood fuel cost at our biomass facilities, higher employee incentive compensation, and other expenses related to increased revenue as noted above, partially offset by the benefit of higher renewable energy credits, which are accounted for as a contra expense; and
- a $15 million increase in consolidated general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher non-cash stock compensation and expenses incurred related to the implementation of our cost efficiency initiatives.
Excluding write-offs (2), operating income decreased by $29 million to $207 million in 2014 due to the revenue and expense items noted above.
Adjusted EBITDA declined by $20 million on a year-over-year basis to $474 million due to contract transitions (primarily a reduction in debt service billings), higher scheduled plant maintenance expense, lower construction profit, and one-time gains that occurred in 2013.
Free Cash Flow declined by $5 million to $240 million, primarily as a result of lower Adjusted EBITDA and higher maintenance capital expenditures, partially offset by favorable working capital changes.
Adjusted EPS increased by $0.01 to $0.39. The increase was driven by lower book interest expense and higher equity income, partially offset by lower operating income.
(2) 2014 and 2013 include net write-offs of $64 million and $15 million, respectively.
Shareholder Returns
In 2014, the Company increased its cash dividend to $1.00 per share on annualized basis and returned $114 million in dividends to shareholders during the year.
Fourth Quarter Results – From Continuing Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period last year:
- Total revenues increased $13 million (3%) to $435 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased $21 million to $131 million;
- Free Cash Flow increased $21 million to $54 million; and
- Adjusted EPS decreased by $0.12 to $0.06.

Despite the current commodity price environment, the business continues to generate significant cash flow, and we remain squarely focused on executing our plan in 2015, returning capital to shareholders through our dividend and investing for growth over the long-term."

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 December 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 December 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, less the results of operations of our insurance subsidiaries.
Under the credit facilities as of December 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 December 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to net income and cash flow provided by operating activities, 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to cash flow provided by operating activities, 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, reconciled for each such period to diluted income per share, which is believed to be the most directly comparable measure under GAAP.
