(d)Includes non-cash items. Additionally, our Corporate and Other business recognizes construction work in progress for fleet purchases during the period. Capital expenditures are reported in our reportable segments at the time they are recorded within the segments’ property and equipment balances and, therefore, include timing differences for amounts accrued but not yet paid as well as amounts transferred from Corporate and Other for fleet placed in service.
(e)Certain fees related to the processing of recyclable material we collect are included within our Collection and Disposal business. The amounts in income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are $22 million and $40 million, respectively. The amounts in income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are $20 million and $40 million, respectively.
(f)Renewable Energy pays a 15% intercompany royalty to our Collection and Disposal business and Corporate and Other for landfill gas. The total amount of royalties in gross and intercompany operating revenues for the East Tier, West Tier, and Corporate and Other and in operating expenses for Renewable Energy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are $24 million and $48 million, respectively. The total amount of royalties in gross and intercompany operating revenues for the East Tier, West Tier, and Corporate and Other and in operating expenses for Renewable Energy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are $17 million and $31 million, respectively.

(h)In the third quarter of 2025, as a result of continued integration efforts and to enhance transparency and accountability, the Company began reflecting intra-segment activity within the Healthcare Solutions segment. These charges were designed to measure profitability at more granular levels of the enterprise and to facilitate clearer financial accountability within operating units. Accordingly, adjustments to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were made to properly reflect intra-segment activity for each period. Intra-segment operating revenues and operating expenses within Healthcare Solutions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are $101 million and $202 million, respectively. Intra-segment operating revenues and operating expenses within Healthcare Solutions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are $113 million and $207 million, respectively.
