GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
(In millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise stated)
| 1. | REPORTING ENTITY |
|---|
GFL Environmental Inc. (“GFL” or the “Company”) was formed on March 5, 2020 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. GFL’s subordinate voting shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “GFL”.
GFL is in the business of providing non-hazardous solid waste management services. These services are provided through GFL and its subsidiaries and a network of facilities across Canada and the United States. GFL’s registered office is Suite 500, 100 New Park Place, Vaughan, ON, L4K 0H9.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) include the accounts of GFL and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2025.
The Board of Directors approved the Interim Financial Statements on November 5, 2025.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|---|
Statement of compliance
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, within the framework of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The Interim Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with GFL’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).
Basis of measurement
The Interim Financial Statements were prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period as detailed in the Annual Financial Statements.
Presentation and functional currency
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is GFL’s functional currency.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and use judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and accompanying disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are described in the Annual Financial Statements.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements, except as described below.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of GFL’s business which comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly separated from the rest of GFL, and which: represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations; is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
F-6
GFL Environmental Inc. - Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements
(In millions of dollars except per share amounts or otherwise stated)
The classification as discontinued operations occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When operations are classified as discontinued operations, the comparative statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are re-presented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. The consolidated statements of cash flows include cash flows of the discontinued operations, and are not re-presented to reflect discontinued operations. The comparative consolidated statement of financial position is not re-presented to reflect discontinued operations.
On March 3, 2025, GFL announced the completion of the divestiture of its Environmental Services line of business (“GFL Environmental Services”), effective on March 1, 2025, for an enterprise value of $8.0 billion. Certain revenue disaggregation and segment reporting balances in prior periods have been re-presented for consistency with the current period presentation in relation to GFL Environmental Services which has been presented as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 3 and 17.
New and amended standards adopted
A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. GFL was not required to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the applicable amended standards.
New accounting standards issued but not yeteffective
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current period and have not been early adopted. The standards applicable to GFL are not expected to have a material impact on these Interim Financial Statements.

GFL finalizes purchase price allocations relating to acquisitions within 12 months of the respective acquisition dates and, as a result, there may be differences between the provisional estimates reflected above and the final acquisition accounting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, GFL finalized the purchase price allocations for certain acquisitions resulting in a decrease in net working capital of $9.5 million, a decrease in property and equipment of $13.9 million, an increase in intangible assets of $28.7 million, an increase in lease obligations of $0.6 million, a decrease in closure and post-closure obligations of $1.3 million, an increase in deferred income tax liabilities of $0.2 million and a decrease in goodwill of $5.8 million.
Approximately $65.8 million and $144.0 million of the goodwill acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (all of the goodwill acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024) is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Since the respective acquisition dates, revenue and income before income taxes of approximately $74.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, attributable to the 2025 acquisitions, are included in these Interim Financial Statements.
Pro forma results of operations
If the 2025 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2025, the unaudited consolidated pro forma revenue and income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 would have been $4,989.7 million and $193.1 million, respectively. The pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the year, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

GFL ENVIRONMENTAL INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for GFL Environmental Inc. (“us,” “we,” “our,” “GFL” or the “Company”) is dated November 7, 2025 and provides information concerning our results of operations and financial condition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. You should read this MD&A together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (the “Interim Financial Statements”), our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Financial Statements”), and our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual MD&A”).
| 1. | Company Overview |
|---|
GFL is the fourth largest diversified environmental services company in North America, with operations throughout Canada and in 18 U.S. states. GFL had approximately 15,000 employees as of September 30, 2025.
GFL was formed on March 5, 2020 under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Our subordinate voting shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “GFL”.
On March 3, 2025, we announced the completion of the divestiture of our Environmental Services line of business (“GFL Environmental Services”), effective March 1, 2025, for an enterprise value of $8.0 billion. Funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and BC Partners Advisors LP each acquired an approximate 28% equity interest in GFL Environmental Services JV LP (“GES”). We retained an approximate 44% non-controlling equity interest in GES, which was initially recognized at $1.7 billion. GFL Environmental Services has been presented as discontinued operations in the comparative results of our Interim Financial Statements. On September 3, 2025, HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”) subscribed for an equity interest in GES in exchange for its Paid in Kind notes (“PIK Notes”) of GES. The subscription by HPS resulted in a reduction of our equity investment in GES to approximately 34.0%.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information in our MD&A represents the results from our continuing operations.

Summary of Factors Affecting Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us. These factors are also subject to a number of inherent risks and challenges discussed elsewhere in this MD&A and in the AIF.
Our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were impacted by acquisitions, divestitures, as well as organic growth during the period as a result, in part, from the pricing strategies that we implemented and changes in volume, partially offset by the impact of inflationary pressures and certain labour wage rate pressures. Our ability to leverage our scalable network to drive operational cost efficiencies also impacted our performance for the period. Our results are influenced by seasonality and tend to be lower in the first quarter of the year, primarily due to winter weather conditions which are pronounced in Canada, and higher in the second and third quarters of the year, due to the higher volume of waste generated during the summer months in many of our markets.
We intend to continue to grow our business and generate improvements in our financial performance by expanding our service offerings into new geographic markets and extending our geographic footprint to increase regional density across our business lines, thereby increasing margins. Our success in achieving these goals is dependent on our ability to execute on our three-pronged strategy of (i) continuing to generate strong, stable organic revenue growth, (ii) successfully executing strategic, accretive acquisitions, and (iii) continuing to drive operating cost efficiencies across our platform.
Strong, Stable Organic Revenue Growth
Our ability to generate strong, stable organic revenue growth across macroeconomic cycles depends on our ability to increase the breadth and depth of services that we provide to our existing customers, realize on cross-selling opportunities between our complementary service capabilities, obtain price and surcharge increases, win new contracts, realize renewals or extensions of existing contracts and expand into new or adjacent markets. We believe that executing on this strategy will continue to drive our organic revenue growth and free cash flow generation.
Our business is well-diversified across business lines, geographies and customers. We believe that our continued success depends on our ability to further enhance and leverage this diversification, a key component of which is our ability to offer our customers a comprehensive service offering across our business lines backed by an extensive geography across Canada and the U.S. The majority of the revenue we generate is derived from secondary markets, with revenue derived from major metropolitan centres representing the majority of our residential revenue.
We also believe we are well positioned to respond to changing customer needs and regulatory demands in order to maintain our success. This includes being able to respond to legal requirements and customer demands to divert waste away from landfill disposal by continuing to expand our ability to collect and process multiple streams of material.
Our diversified business model also complements our acquisition strategy. Multiple business lines allow us to source acquisitions from a broader pool of potential targets. Maintaining a diversified model is therefore critical to capitalizing on accretive acquisition opportunities and helping to reduce execution and business risk inherent in single-market and single-service offering strategies.
Executing Strategic, Accretive Acquisitions
Our ability to identify, execute and integrate accretive acquisitions is a key driver of our growth. Given the significant fragmentation that exists in the North American environmental services industry, our growth and success depend on our ability to realize on consolidation opportunities in our business lines.
Since 2007, we have completed over 280 acquisitions across our lines of business. We focus on selectively acquiring premier independent regional operators to create platforms in new markets, followed by tuck-in acquisitions to help increase density and scale. Integration of these acquisitions with our existing platform is a key factor to our success, along with continuing to identify and act upon these attractive consolidation opportunities.
In addition, successful execution of acquisitions opens new markets to us, provides us with new opportunities to realize cross-selling opportunities and drives procurement and cost synergies across our operations.
3
Driving Operating Cost Efficiencies
We provide our services through a strategically-located network of facilities in Canada and in the U.S. In each of our geographic markets, our strong competitive position is supported by and depends on the significant capital investment required to replicate our network infrastructure and asset base, as well as by stringent permitting and regulatory compliance requirements. Our continued success also depends on our ability to leverage our scalable network to attract and retain customers across service lines, realize operational efficiencies and extract procurement and cost synergies.
It is also key that we continue to leverage our scalable capabilities to drive operating margin expansion and realize cost synergies. This includes using the capacity of our existing facilities, technology processes and people to support future growth and provide economies of scale, as well as increasing route density and servicing new contract wins with our existing network of assets and fleet to enhance the profitability of each of our business lines.
Our success also depends on our ability to continue to make strategic investments in our business, including substantial capital investments in our facilities, technology processes and administrative capabilities to support our future growth. Our ability to improve our operating margins and our selling, general and administrative expense margins by maintaining strong discipline in our cost structure and regularly reviewing our practices to manage expenses and increase efficiency will also impact our operating results.

Cost of sales increased by $66.7 million to $1,324.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, attributable to the impact of acquisitions and organic growth of the business. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, transfer and disposal costs increased primarily as a result of higher transfer station and material recycling facility (“MRF”) processing volumes. Labour and benefit costs increased as a result of higher wage rates. Maintenance and repair costs increased as a result of additional fleet maintenance and the growth in the business, partially offset by the easing of inflationary cost pressures. Fuel costs decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the price of fuel. An increase in property taxes and utilities associated with new facilities and an increase in risk management costs, particularly accident claim costs and insurance premiums, contributed to the increase in other cost of sales.

Cost of sales increased by $162.3 million to $3,899.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, predominantly attributable to organic growth of the business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, transfer and disposal costs increased primarily as a result of higher transfer station and MRF processing volumes. Labour and benefit costs increased as a result of higher wage rates. Maintenance and repair costs increased as a result of additional fleet maintenance and the growth in the business, partially offset by the impact of divestitures and the easing of inflationary cost pressures. Fuel costs decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the price of fuel. An increase in property taxes and utilities associated with new facilities and an increase in risk management costs, particularly accident claim costs and insurance premiums, contributed to the increase in other cost of sales.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 270 basis points to 78.2% and 280 basis points to 79.0%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Changes in the individual cost categories were the result of the impact of changes in business mix, our pricing strategies, the realization of ongoing operating cost efficiencies and the reduction in the price of fuel, partially offset by inflationary cost pressures. Excluding depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by 110 basis points to 58.8% and 160 basis points to 59.7%, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Other income decreased by $30.8 million to $64.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to a $168.7 million change in non-cash foreign exchange loss arising from the revaluation of the unhedged portion of our U.S. dollar denominated debt to Canadian dollars based on the foreign exchange rate as at September 30, 2025 and a $5.8 million change in the loss on sale of property and equipment. The decrease was partially offset by a $143.7 million increase in other primarily from a gain on sale of our equity investment in Green Infrastructure Partners Inc. (“GIP”) and a gain on dilution of our equity investment in GES as a result of the exchange of PIK Notes into an equity interest in GES by HPS.
Other income increased by $331.4 million to $352.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $183.3 million change in non-cash foreign exchange gain arising from the revaluation of the unhedged portion of our U.S. dollar denominated debt to Canadian dollars based on the foreign exchange rate as at September 30, 2025. The increase was also due to a $156.5 million increase in other primarily from a gain on sale of our equity investment in GIP and a gain on dilution of our equity investment in GES as a result of the exchange of PIK Notes into an equity interest in GES by HPS, which was partially offset from insurance proceeds received in the prior period. The increase was partially offset by a $8.4 million change in the loss on sale of property and equipment.
Divestitures
On March 3, 2025, we announced the completion of the divestiture of GFL Environmental Services, effective March 1, 2025, at an enterprise value of $8.0 billion. We retained an approximate 44% non-controlling equity interest in GES, which was initially recognized at $1.7 billion. This resulted in a gain on divestiture, before income taxes, included within discontinued operations, of $4,466.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On September 3, 2025, HPS subscribed for an equity interest in GES in exchange for its PIK Notes, resulting in a reduction of GFL’s equity investment in GES to approximately 34.0%.

3. Operating Segment Results
Our main lines of business are the transporting, managing and recycling of solid waste. Our operating segments are based on geography between Canada and the U.S., each of which includes hauling, landfill, transfer and MRFs.
The results for our operating segments are presented in accordance with the same criteria used for the internal report prepared for the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) who is responsible for allocating the resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of the segments based on several factors, including gross revenue, intercompany revenue, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.
Analysis of results for the three and nine months ended September 30,2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024

Solid Waste — Canada Operating Segment
Revenue increased by $51.0 million to $559.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to acquisitions completed since July 1, 2024 which contributed approximately $6.2 million of revenue, $34.1 million from price increases and $25.2 million from higher volume. The increase was partially offset by $8.1 million from lower selling prices for the saleable commodities generated from our MRF operations and $6.4 million from lower surcharges.
Revenue increased by $172.3 million to $1,609.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to acquisitions completed since January 1, 2024 which contributed approximately $10.2 million of revenue, $100.3 million from price increases and $86.4 million from higher volume. The increase was partially offset by $9.0 million from lower selling prices for the saleable commodities generated from our MRF operations and $15.6 million from lower surcharges.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $24.0 million to $188.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, predominantly attributable to the previously described change in revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 33.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to organic margin expansion resulting from pricing strategies and realization of ongoing operating cost efficiencies, the reduction in the price of fuel and renewed recycling processing contracts. Partially offsetting this increase was the impact of lower commodity prices and increased cost of risk management. The incremental revenue from acquisitions contributed Adjusted EBITDA margin higher than the existing base business, positively impacting the overall Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Solid Waste — USA Operating Segment
Revenue increased by $89.0 million to $1,135.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to acquisitions completed since July 1, 2024, which contributed approximately $39.7 million and $64.2 million from price increases. The increase was partially offset by $7.7 million from lower selling prices for the saleable commodities generated from our MRF operations and $9.1 million from lower surcharges. Volume decreased revenue by $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, predominantly due to volume losses in our commercial and industrial collection businesses and a decrease construction oriented and special waste landfill volume.

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities increased by $44.0 million to $391.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was inclusive of $157.1 million of cash flows from operating activities from GFL Environmental Services in the prior year period. Excluding the prior year contribution from GFL Environmental Services, cash flows from operating activities increased by $201.1 million. The increase was predominantly due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $46.2 million of cash interest paid on outstanding long-term debt due to the cadence of cash interest payments and a decrease of $28.5 million of cash taxes paid.
Additionally, changes in non-cash working capital items resulted in a source of cash of $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a use of cash of $38.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Note 13 in our Interim Financial Statements for details.
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $104.2 million to $870.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was predominantly due to the inclusion of $69.6 million and $337.2 million of cash flows from operating activities from GFL Environmental Services in the current and prior year period, respectively. Excluding the contribution from GFL Environmental Services, cash flows from operating activities increased by $163.4 million. The increase was predominantly due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $22.1 million of cash interest paid on outstanding long-term debt due to the cadence of cash interest payments and a decrease of $29.5 million of cash taxes paid.
Additionally, changes in non-cash working capital items resulted in a use of cash of $145.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $168.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Refer to Note 13 in our Interim Financial Statements for details.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $105.2 million to $414.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was predominantly attributable to an increase in acquisition and investment expenditures of $268.5 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $8.4 million and a decrease of $29.6 million in proceeds from disposal of assets and other. The increase was partially offset by an increase of $204.7 million in distributions received from associates and joint ventures.
Cash flows from investing activities increased by $5,904.5 million to $4,534.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $1,369.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was predominantly attributable to an increase of $5,747.6 million in proceeds of divestitures and an increase of $201.7 million in distributions received from associates and joint ventures. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $24.5 million in proceeds from disposal of assets, an increase in capital expenditures of $17.3 million, primarily driven by growth in the business, and an increase in acquisition and investment expenditures of $3.0 million.
17
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities increased by $153.0 million to $79.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $73.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of a $512.3 million increase in the net change in long-term debt, a decrease in lease obligations of $16.5 million, a decrease in payment of financing costs of $8.7 million, an increase in contribution from non-controlling interest of $8.9 million and a decrease in contingent purchase consideration and holdbacks of $6.8 million. The increase was partially offset by the repurchase of $346.3 million of subordinate voting shares.
Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $5,701.7 million to $5,338.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to cash flows from financing activities of $362.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was predominantly the result of a $2,987.4 million decrease in the net change in long-term debt and the repurchase of $2,758.5 million of subordinate voting shares. The proceeds of divestitures were in part used to repay a portion of long-term debt and repurchase subordinate voting shares. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $23.7 million in payment of contingent purchase consideration and holdbacks, a decrease of $5.3 million in payment for termination of hedged instruments, proceeds of $28.0 million from the termination of hedged arrangements and a decrease in lease repayments of $22.8 million.

19
Over the last eight quarters our results were primarily impacted by our pricing initiatives, cost controls, overall operating leverage, inflationary cost pressures, acquisitions, divestitures and associated financing activities. Additionally, our results are influenced by seasonality and tend to be lower in the first quarter of the year, primarily due to winter weather conditions, which are pronounced in Canada, and higher in the second and third quarters of the year, due to the higher volume of waste generated during the summer months in many of our solid waste markets.
6. Key Risk Factors
We are exposed to a number of risks through the pursuit of our strategic objectives and the nature of our operations which are outlined in the “Risk Factors” section of our AIF. We are also subject to the following financial risks.
Financial Instruments and Financial Risk
Our financial instruments consist of cash, trade accounts receivable, derivative assets, trade accounts payable and long-term debt, including related hedging instruments. The carrying value of our financial assets are equal to their fair values.
The carrying value of our financial liabilities approximate their fair values with the exception of our outstanding Notes and the 4.375% USD Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (“4.375% Bonds”). The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for these instruments for the periods indicated:
| Fair Value as at September 30, 2025 | Fair Value as at December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($ millions) | Quoted prices<br><br> in active<br><br> market<br><br> (Level 1) | Significant<br><br> observable<br><br> inputs<br><br> (Level 2) | Significant<br><br> unobservable<br><br> inputs <br><br>(Level 3) | Quoted prices<br><br> in active<br><br> market<br><br> (Level 1) | Significant<br><br> observable<br><br> inputs <br><br>(Level 2) | Significant<br><br> unobservable<br><br> inputs <br><br>(Level 3) | ||||||
| Notes | $ | — | $ | 6,002.9 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 7,828.2 | $ | — |
| 4.375% Bonds | — | 294.0 | — | — | 301.9 | — |
Net derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and classified within Level 2. In connection with the divestiture of GFL Environmental Services, GFL has the option to repurchase the balance of the equity of GES within five years of the closing date (the “Call Option”). The Call Option is accounted for as a stand-alone derivative asset which is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Call Option is measured using an option pricing model which includes inputs such as equity volatility, risk-free rates, and implied credit yields. The Call Option is recorded at fair value and classified within Level 3.
For more information on our financial instruments, including hedging arrangements, and related financial risk factors, see our Interim Financial Statements.
7. Internal Control over Financial Reporting
All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Accordingly, even disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management, under the supervision of the CEO and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over GFL’s financial reporting, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in GFL’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

8. Other
Related Party Transactions
After the final payment of the semi-annual instalment of $2.9 million on March 5, 2025, the remaining principal outstanding on the note payable to Omega Jo Inc. (an entity controlled by Patrick Dovigi) was $nil as at September 30, 2025 ($2.9 million as at December 31, 2024).
In connection with Patrick Dovigi’s relocation to the United States, we agreed to satisfy any tax obligations arising from the relocation. In 2025, we paid $33.5 million in satisfaction of this obligation. This amount is expected to be refunded and has been recognized within other receivables.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we paid $3.7 million and $10.6 million ($2.0 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024) in aggregate lease payments to related parties.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into transactions with GIP which resulted in revenue of $0.9 million and $5.2 million ($8.9 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024) and net payables of $3.0 million as at September 30, 2025 ($8.6 million as at December 31, 2024). On March 26, 2024, we entered into a limited guarantee of GIP’s obligation to satisfy certain covenants under its revolving credit facility up to a maximum liability of $25.0 million.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into transactions with GES which resulted in revenue of $8.1 million and $20.8 million ($nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024), deferred revenue of $66.3 million as at September 30, 2025 ($nil as at December 31, 2024) and net payables of $8.0 million as at September 30, 2025 ($nil as at December 31, 2024).
Current Share Information
Our current authorized share capital consists of (i) an unlimited number of subordinate voting shares, (ii) an unlimited number of multiple voting shares, and (iii) an unlimited number of preferred shares.
As at September 30, 2025, we had 347,310,981 subordinate voting shares, 11,812,964 multiple voting shares, 6,720,363 Series A perpetual convertible preferred shares (“Series A Preferred Shares”), and 8,196,721 Series B perpetual convertible preferred shares (“Series B Preferred Shares”) issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are collectively referred to as the “Preferred Shares”. All of the issued and outstanding multiple voting shares are, directly or indirectly, held or controlled by entities controlled by Patrick Dovigi.
As at September 30, 2025, (a) the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into 7,934,172 subordinate voting shares, at a conversion price of US$25.17, representing 2.2% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares and 1.6% of the aggregate outstanding voting rights, and (b) the Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into 8,570,897 subordinate voting shares, at a conversion price of US$43.86, representing 2.4% of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares and 1.8% of the aggregate outstanding voting rights. The holders of the Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis on all matters on which holders of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares vote, and to the greatest extent possible, will vote with the holders of subordinate voting shares and multiple voting shares as a single class. Each holder of Preferred Shares shall be deemed to hold, for the sole purpose of voting at any meeting of shareholders of GFL at which such holder is entitled to vote, the number of Preferred Shares equal to the number of subordinate voting shares into which such holder’s registered Preferred Shares are convertible as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such shareholders meeting. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares accrete at a rate of 7.000% and 6.000% per annum, respectively, compounded quarterly. From and after December 31, 2024 (in the case of the Series A Preferred Shares) or December 31, 2025 (in the case of the Series B Preferred Shares), GFL will have the option each quarter to redeem a number of Preferred Shares in an amount equal to the increase in the liquidation preference for the quarter. This optional redemption amount can be satisfied in either cash or subordinate voting shares at the election of GFL. If GFL elects to pay the optional redemption amount for a particular quarter in cash, the accretion rate for that quarter for the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares will be 6.000% and 5.000% per annum, respectively. The Preferred Shares are subject to transfer restrictions, but can be converted into subordinate voting shares by the holder at any time. GFL may also require the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at an earlier date in certain circumstances.
21
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On February 27, 2025, the TSX accepted our notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) during the twelve-month period commencing on March 3, 2025 and ending March 2, 2026. A copy of GFL’s notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX may be obtained, without charge, by contacting GFL. Under the NCIB, a maximum of 28,046,256 subordinate voting shares may be repurchased by GFL which represents approximately 10.0% of the public float as at February 18, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 5,132,657 and 16,221,573 subordinate voting shares, respectively, under the NCIB (nil subordinate voting shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024).
Additional Information
Additional information relating to GFL, including our most recent annual and quarterly reports, are available on SEDAR+ at http://www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
9. Accounting Policies, Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Our significant accounting policies and significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments are contained in the Annual Financial Statements.
Significant Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments
The preparation of our Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and use judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and accompanying disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as future confirming events occur. Significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Interim Financial Statements are described in our Annual Financial Statements.
Since the date of our Annual MD&A, there were no material changes to the significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments. See the section entitled “Significant Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments” in our Annual MD&A.
Landfill Asset
The following table summarizes landfill amortization expense for the periods indicated:
| Three months ended<br><br> September 30, 2025 | Nine months ended<br><br> September 30, 2025 | Year ended <br><br>December 31, 2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amortization of landfill airspace ($ millions) | $ | 85.5 | $ | 247.2 | $ | 321.1 |
| Tonnes received (millions of tonnes) | 6.2 | 17.4 | 22.7 | |||
| Average landfill amortization per tonne | $ | 13.8 | $ | 14.2 | $ | 14.1 |
The amortization of landfill airspace for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 did not include the $1.1 million of amortization related to the difference between the ARO obligation calculated using the credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate required for measurement of the ARO obligation through purchase accounting, compared to the risk-free discount rate required for quarterly valuations. This accounting adjustment does not impact the economics of the average landfill amortization per tonne.
22
Landfill Capacity and Depletion
As of September 30, 2025, we had 415.5 million tonnes (427.9 million tonnes as of December 31, 2024) of remaining permitted capacity at the landfills we own and at the landfill in Quebec where we have designated access to a fixed level of capacity. As of September 30, 2025, ten of our landfills satisfied the criteria for inclusion of probable expansion capacity, resulting in additional expansion capacity of 133.9 million tonnes (149.6 million tonnes as of December 31, 2024), and together with remaining permitted capacity, our total remaining capacity is 549.4 million tonnes (577.5 million tonnes as of December 31, 2024). Based on total capacity as of September 30, 2025 and projected annual disposal volumes, the weighted average remaining life of the landfills we own and at the landfill in Quebec where we have designated access to a fixed level of capacity is approximately 25.7 years (27.5 years as of December 31, 2024). We have other expansion opportunities that could extend the weighted average remaining life of our landfills.
10. Non-IFRS Financial Measuresand Key Performance Indicators
This Annual MD&A makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
EBITDA
EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, net income (loss) from continuing operations plus (a) interest and other finance costs, plus (b) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, landfill assets and intangible assets, plus (less) (c) the provision (recovery) for income taxes, in each case to the extent deducted or added to/from net income (loss) from continuing operations. We present EBITDA to assist readers in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements including, our lenders and investors, to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric that management uses prior to execution of any strategic investing or financing opportunity. For example, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities, and dispositions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by financial institutions to measure borrowing capacity. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding and deducting, as applicable from EBITDA, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management’s view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (b) (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment, (c) share of net (income) loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, (d) share-based payments, (e) (gain) loss on divestiture, (f) transaction costs, (g) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs (included in cost of sales related to acquisition activity), (h) Founder/CEO remuneration and (i) other. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business. As we continue to grow our business, we may be faced with new events or circumstances that are not indicative of our underlying business performance or that impact the ability to assess our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors use Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate a comparison of the operating performance of each of our operating segments on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business.
