from Our RBC next Capital and Markets. go Please speaker is Walter ahead. he comes Spracklin

Thanks very everyone. morning, much Good operator.

welcome. You're

to on like thoughts your things. leverage I'd come a on back So and couple clarify

of first So you X.X. year at ended all, the

million $XXX said kind to could top of to of but the then on there's $XXX the million deploy larger of the $XXX way all self-financing You acquisition that. in a – capital you $XXX self the could million, on – you million

are at to go down do else. of right one is so something that I five year that Or later, way? low So would am both the you answered by for I million to looking a – without might above the think could essentially plus need anything to end you might the equity, of get there that year, the for mid And to back both acquisition. but we imply line that you sight the right, $XXX you larger question the $XXX million

Yes. No, today in larger that if acquisitions would but the same done. range got it would leverage the directionally correct, stay generally you're I be mean

going X.X, at year the start do still even we going delever is you're that's consider delever to to you small thing throughout the naturally the go as if you think I tuck-in Walter, year. M&A, the to

is you time back which would get you by the potentially larger if to when something half, So it's close. the get

talked able in that down was mid-to-high and going historically sort acquisition you're above is not brought respecting that of is high X cap then that do to that leverage – X cards. we've still about You the

Perfect. it. Got

great. that's Okay,

Just refi that an into built free why you million, a stop small from that one doing here, XXXX? to is guide? and your million flow $XX in like $XX opportunity to cash opportunity for What the free kind not cash flow an something guide, you of put would

opportunistic it be in there's that models, do it. I point just actually model it's to time think perspective, And it just an do realized. our analysts to we was when typically from like honest, when that of got we

It So happen could It in week. could June. in happen could May. that next happen

So I everybody it when it think the aware done. view of was just is make would we that was

their get there update later. to going the happen window than in models. Whenever rather But could view done market to it's people our So is it's is but best execute was that imminently. for to us when going sooner that way,

sort of we and M&A. that much exactly the it than characterize outside happen know don't when. Yes. those don't things volume We just think to both different Walter, but the probably in year, are I recovery going think are

possible articulate we that look like. terms the what of of art And could just in the so rather

in the today thought the of what have don't it. could of the both on business of consider sort around sort really it'd base So you guide if taints, it but that have side, will, this we that's

makes totally sense. That Yes.

And last is really on question strategic here focus. Okay.

You business market in. look now right at you're markets your what segments in or of book of terms

Please Our comes Capital. next go question from ADW Adam Jonathan from ahead.

Adam analysts. is our guess Wyden. this Jonathan I Patrick, they have Hey their – in

basically look, you're still year take a kind connections. to mean trade waste into one and just I a conversation, think basically back. and your turns guys have So step you done X.X want lot numerical of I IPO I to cheap in you a

of qualitatively a in have value ambitious front I kind more a guidance And than bit are theirs. to think terms your your what of communicating shareholder have that longer of in little Can clearly it? the You narrow kind questions you program. of and tuck-in can far much initiatives of about gap you runway then talk do a couple creation about you

All right.

I these what ask companies, our management And for on has what most me been research that waste shareholder it's of are do a larger we industries. been roll-ups primary of new almost society, know, mean observation now an amount we've and question, our is you year. a not let enormous to a companies right. on whether as So –

platform, in it's a again, And and buy buy a mean, go you Yes. right. simple you I transportation model, you post operations collection like facilities. landfills these recycling

And works out have have in, You that, go year you you going and and to to facility And around eliminate that's that existing you're well you the assets, facilities routing really the gate. costs. And mean a operational a going incremental eliminate the in, this SG&A then opportunities. and with savings of business, you do. you where around tuck-in I into a that when all see amount bulk you're synergies significant in base the of the those volume from talking then because I margin do mean you're consolidations of of of going get strategy go those the

And to naturally because effective going acquisitions. actual purchase do of the you're same going those the at to acquisitions. You're time, of price delever

all So holds I think together. it

CAGR big larger today. our XX X, three are – the sort are from is. we it overall probably perspective, the smaller scalability aware we're going just in unique a look what that's saying terms a because lot larger in number, right years CAGR think because And position a in perspective from the And in I of and they were you're we're we think of than think I numbers ago. I X, to where we're a
