EXPLANATORY NOTE

Stericycle, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) is filing this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A because the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has determined that the consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, originally included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the respective quarterly periods, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the timing of recognition of certain loss reserves. This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to present the amended and restated financial information for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 and, accordingly, to restate our analysis of the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015, as presented in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2016 filed on May 9, 2016 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), and to disclose additional information regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures related to these errors.

The errors in timing of recognition of certain loss reserves relate to the Company’s settlement of two previously disclosed litigation matters: first, a class action complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois captioned Sawyer v. Stericycle, Inc., et al., Case No. 2015 CH 07190  (the “TCPA Action”), alleging that from 2010 to 2014, the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005; and second, a qui tam action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois captioned United States of America ex rel. Jennifer D. Perez v. Stericycle, Inc., Case No. 1:08-cv-2390 (the “Qui Tam Action”), alleging that from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2014, the Company improperly increased its service price to certain government customers without their consent or contractual authorization, in violation of the False Claims Act and similar state statutes.

The identified accounting errors related to the timing of recognition of loss reserves between quarterly periods and had no effect on the Company’s audited annual results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

We originally recorded $45.0 million in accrued liabilities related to the TCPA Action in the second quarter of 2015; we are now of the view that this amount should have been recorded in the first quarter of 2015. In addition, we originally recorded $28.5 million in accrued liabilities related to the Qui Tam Action in the third quarter of 2015; we are now of the view that this amount also should have been recorded in the first quarter of 2015.

The impact of the restatement is as follows:  

 

·

the estimated loss contingency for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was understated by $73.5 million, resulting in an overstatement of net income of $46.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015;  

 

·

the estimated loss contingency for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was overstated by $45.0 million, resulting in an understatement of net income of $27.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the estimated loss contingency was understated by $28.5 million, resulting in an overstatement of net income of $19.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015; and

 

·

the estimated loss contingency for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was overstated by $28.5 million, resulting in an understatement of net income of $17.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2015.

Accordingly, we are filing this Form 10-Q/A to correct the errors presented in the comparative financial information included in the Original Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The errors, including the specific line items on each of the Company’s financial statements that have been restated, are described in greater detail in Note A1 contained in this Form 10-Q/A.  We have made necessary conforming changes in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q/A resulting from this adjustment.

The Company’s controls related to the accounting for loss contingencies were inadequate to ensure that loss reserves were recorded timely in the appropriate period. We are revising the COSO Component – Risk Assessment material weakness described in Item 4 of Part I, Controls and Procedures, to also encompass the accounting for loss contingencies.

For the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety. The following sections of the Original Form 10-Q have been restated:

 

1)

Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements;

 

2)

Item 2 of Part I, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

 

3)

Item 4 of Part I, Controls and Procedures; and

 

4)

Item 6 of Part II, Exhibits.


Specifically, the following sections within Item 1 of Part I have been restated or added:

 

1)

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income;

 

2)

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income;

 

3)

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows;

 

4)

Note A1 – Restatement;

 

5)

Note 5 – Income Taxes;

 

6)

Note 8 – Earnings per Common Share; and

 

7)

Note 12 – Geographic Information.

The Company has also included the signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.3, 31.4, and 32.1, and financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibits 101.

Except as described above, no other amendments have been made to the Original Form 10-Q. The Company has not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that have occurred since the date of the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Unless the context requires otherwise, "we," "us" or "our" refers to Stericycle, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

NOTE A1 — RESTATEMENT

The unaudited quarterly financial data for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 has been restated for errors related to the timing of recognition of loss reserves between quarterly periods associated with the Company’s previously disclosed settlement of the TCPA Action and Qui Tam Action. The Company determined that the estimated loss contingency for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was understated by $73.5 million, resulting in an overstatement of net income of $46.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income; Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows; Note 5 - Income Taxes; Note 8 - Earnings Per Common Share; and Note 12 - Geographic Information; included in this Form 10-Q/A have been restated to correct the misstatements described above.

The following are previously reported and restated balances of affected line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (Unaudited).

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes the disclosures included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected and are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Stericycle, Inc. and Subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2016.

There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of its 2015 Form 10-K. As discussed in the 2015 Form 10-K, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. No events have occurred that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a net increase in goodwill of $25.5 million, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation (see Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets). A net increase of $23.7 million was assigned to our United States reportable segment, and a net increase of $1.8 million was assigned to our International reportable segment. Approximately $20.7 million of the goodwill recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 will be deductible for income taxes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a net increase in intangible assets from acquisitions of $8.4 million, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation. The changes include $7.7 million in the estimated fair value of acquired customer relationships with amortizable lives of 10 to 40 years and $0.7 million in covenant not-to-compete with an amortizable life of 5 years.

The purchase prices for these acquisitions in excess of acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets have been primarily allocated to goodwill, and are preliminary, pending completion of certain intangible asset valuations and finalization of the opening balance sheet. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for current period acquisitions and other adjustments to purchase price allocations during the three months ended March 31:

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of acquisition related expenses. These expenses are included with “Selling, general and administrative expenses” (“SG&A”) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of the acquisition.

 

 

NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

Compensation - Stock Compensation

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Under this ASU, entities are permitted to make an accounting policy election to either estimate forfeitures on share-based payment awards, as previously required, or to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur and the impact of that change in accounting policy has been evaluated and determined to be insignificant and resulted in no cumulative-effect change to the Company’s retained earnings. Additionally, ASU 2016-09 requires that all income tax effects related to settlements of share-based payment awards be reported in earnings as an increase or decrease to income tax expense (benefit), net. Previously, income tax benefits at settlement of an award were reported as an increase (or decrease) to additional paid-in capital to the extent that those benefits were greater than (or less than) the income tax benefits reported in earnings during the award's vesting period. The requirement to report those income tax effects in earnings has been applied on a prospective basis to settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2016 and the impact of applying that guidance was $2.9 million to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2016. ASU 2016-09 also requires that all income tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Previously, income tax benefits at settlement of an award were reported as a reduction to operating cash flows and an increase to financing cash flows to the extent that those benefits exceeded the income tax benefits reported in earnings during the award's vesting period. The Company has elected to apply that change in cash flow classification on a prospective basis, leaving previously reported net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in financing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended March 31, 2015 unchanged. The remaining provisions of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Revenue From Contracts With Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), guidance to provide a single and comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue guidance contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The amended authoritative guidance associated with revenue recognition is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The amended guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amended guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are in the process of assessing the provisions of the new revenue recognition standard and have not determined whether the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This ASU will require lessees to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures. Accounting guidance for lessors is largely unchanged. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. We are beginning to evaluate the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The impact of our creditworthiness has been considered in the fair value measurements noted below. In addition, the fair value measurement of a liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of an entity. There were no movements of items between fair value hierarchies.
