About Waste Connections

Waste Connections is an integrated solid waste services company providing non-hazardous waste collection, transfer, and disposal services, including by rail. The company also offers resource recovery through recycling and renewable fuels generation. It serves approximately nine million residential, commercial, and industrial customers across 46 states in the U.S. and six provinces in Canada. Additionally, Waste Connections provides non-hazardous oilfield waste treatment and intermodal services in the Pacific Northwest.

Waste Connections Inc. has secured regulatory approval to resume its share repurchase program, signaling continued confidence in its capital allocation strategy and commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company received authorization from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) for the annual renewal of its normal course issuer bid (NCIB), enabling it to buy back up to 12,578,462 common shares over the next 12 months.

The renewed NCIB follows the conclusion of the previous program, known as the 2025 NCIB, which expired on August 11, 2026. Under that prior bid, Waste Connections had purchased 6,103,527 common shares through the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of August 6, 2026, out of a total authorized amount of 12,855,691 shares. All shares repurchased under both the current and renewed bids are cancelled upon purchase, reducing the total number of outstanding shares and potentially enhancing earnings per share.

Program Details and Trading Limits

The new NCIB is effective from August 12, 2026, through August 11, 2027, or until earlier completion or termination at the company’s discretion. Waste Connections may execute purchases on the TSX, NYSE, NYSE Texas, or alternative Canadian trading systems at prevailing market prices. Management will determine the timing and volume of repurchases based on market conditions, share price, and other factors, including potential acquisition opportunities.

To maintain market stability, TSX rules impose specific daily trading limits on the repurchases:

The TSX limit is calculated based on an average daily trading volume of 380,453 shares between February 1, 2026, and July 31, 2026, excluding purchases made under the 2025 NCIB. Additionally, the company is permitted to purchase block trades exceeding the daily limit once per week, provided the shares are not owned by insiders.

Capital Allocation Strategy

The renewal of the NCIB aligns with Waste Connections’ broader objective to return capital to shareholders over time. The company views share repurchases as a flexible tool for capital management, balancing shareholder returns with strategic growth investments. As an integrated solid waste services provider operating across 46 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces, Waste Connections serves approximately nine million residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

The company’s sustainability initiatives, including resource recovery through recycling and renewable fuels generation, remain integral to its long-term value creation strategy. By reducing reliance on off-site disposal and improving safety and employee engagement, Waste Connections aims to enhance operational efficiency while supporting environmental goals. The cancelled shares from this NCIB will contribute to a leaner capital structure, potentially supporting future financial metrics and shareholder returns.
