Clean Harbors, Inc.

Greetings and welcome to the Clean Harbors Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Tim Rodenberger, General Counsel for Clean Harbors. Mr. Rodenberger, you may begin.

Thank you, Christine. Good morning, everyone. With me on today's call are our Co-Chief Executive Officers, Eric Gerstenberg and Mike Battles, our EVP and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Dugas, and our SVP of Investor Relations, Jim Buckley. Slides for today's call are posted on our Investor Relations website. Matters discussed today that are not historical facts are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Participants are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of today, October 28, 2026. Information on potential factors and risks that could affect our results is included in our SEC filings. The company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to the statements made today other than through filings made concerning this reporting period. Today's discussion includes references to non-GAAP measures. Clean Harbors believes that such information provides an additional measurement and consistent historical comparison of its performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are available in today's press release on our IR website and in the appendix of today's presentation. I will now turn over the call to Eric Gerstenberg to start.

Eric? Thanks, Tim. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Before we discuss our financial performance, we wanted to touch on today's other news as we announced a planned executive transition. On January 1st, I will become the sole CEO at the company. Mike will be retiring from his co-CEO role and board seat at year end. This next step in our leadership team is endorsed by both Mike and I, along with our entire board. I'm honored to lead this company where I have built my career and worked for 37 years. For as long as I have been here, Clean Harbors has been setting the standard for the hazardous waste industry in North America. I'd like to thank the board for trusting me to carry on this tradition. Our company is second to none. We employ the best team in the business. We take great care of our customers by providing reliable waste and industrial service capabilities based on cutting edge systems, scarce permitted facilities, more than 900 service locations, extensive equipment, and a comprehensive transportation fleet. I expect us to remain on the growth path we have been on for the past decade. I look forward to continuing to reward our shareholders and our employees in the coming years. With that, let me turn things over to Mike.
