We accrue for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, we review each of our legal proceedings and, where it is probable that a liability has been incurred, we accrue for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where we can reasonably estimate a range of losses we may incur regarding such a matter, we record an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes our best estimate. If we can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, we use the amount that is the low end of such range. As of June September 30, 2026, we estimate that the probable and reasonably estimable outcomes of any such legal proceedings, as well as the aggregate potential liability using reasonably possible high ends of our ranges, are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

The following is a summary of anticipated adjusted diluted earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2026. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is not a measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

Year Ending December 31, 2026

Diluted earnings per share $ 7.18 - 7.23

Restructuring charges 0.05

Adjusted diluted earnings per share $ 7.23 - 7.28

We believe that presenting adjusted diluted earnings per share provides an understanding of operational activities before the financial impact of certain items. We use this measure, and believe investors will find it helpful, in understanding the ongoing performance of our operations separate from items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. We have incurred comparable charges, costs and recoveries in prior periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. Our definition of adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Market risk 5 changes

Fuel costs represent a significant operating expense. When economically practical, we may enter into new fuel hedges, renew contracts, or engage in other strategies to mitigate market risk. As of June September 30, 2026, we had no fuel hedges in place. While we charge fuel recovery fees to a majority of our customers, we are unable to charge such fees to all customers.

2 unchanged paragraphs

Our fuel costs were $295 $475 million during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, or 3.5% 3.6% of revenue, compared to $230 $349 million, or 2.8% of revenue, during the comparable period in 2025.

We market recovered materials such as old corrugated containers and old newsprint from our recycling centers. Changes in market supply and demand for recycled commodities causes volatility in commodity prices. In prior periods, we have entered into derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. As of June September 30, 2026, we had no recycling commodity hedges in place.

1 unchanged paragraph

Revenue from recycling processing and commodity sales during the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $234 $356 million and $222 $328 million, respectively.

As of June September 30, 2026, we had $1.8 $2.3 billion of principal floating rate debt. If interest rates increased or decreased by 100 basis points on our floating rate debt, annualized interest expense and net cash payments for interest would increase or decrease by approximately $18 $23 million. This analysis does not reflect the effect that interest rates would have on other items, such as new borrowings and the impact on the economy. See Note 7, Debt, of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding how we manage interest rate risk.
