Global Presence

Macro-economic Outlook Medical waste Industry historically less volatile during times of recession There is very consistent demand for the service and thus a fairly consistent revenue stream based on the demand. – There will always be a need to collect trash and dispose of it. Stericycle has approximately 400,000 customers, which are well diversified internationally The medical waste industry is tightly regulated – Stricter regulations imposed on disposing medical waste leads to greater demand for Stericycle's services. Long-term as the baby boomers age, more treatment equals more waste.

Macro-economic Outlook Price of Oil (hedging against risk) Most companies that are highly dependent on transportation have seen a large impact to the downside in their stock price due to the volatility of oil – Stericycle has 1200 Route Managers Many Waste Services companies have implemented ways to hedge against high oil. – Stericycle has a fuel surcharge program that is designed to minimize the damage to margins from high and volatile oil.

Industry Overview Regulated medical waste is generally any medical waste that can cause an infectious disease – Items such as needles, syringes, gloves and other medical supplies; cultures and stocks of infectious agents; and blood and blood products Regulated pharmaceutical waste consists of expired or recalled pharmaceuticals Global regulated waste industry size in 2008: $10.5 billion Stericycle’s global market share: 10.3% (increased from 9.3% in 2007) Highly regulated industry – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Postal Service, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration Very fragmented

Industry Growth Factors Aging population Pressure to reduce healthcare costs Environmental and safety regulations Shift from institutional higher-cost acute-care settings to less expensive, smaller, offsite treatment alternatives – Results in increase in the number of regulated waste generators that cannot treat their own regulated waste

SWOT Analysis Strengths – Market leader – Broad range of services – Established network of treatment facilities and transportation – Revenue stability and noncyclical business – Experienced senior management team – Ability to integrate acquisitions (157 since 1993) – Proprietary technology (i.e. ETD)

SWOT Analysis Strengths – Diverse customer base Top 10 account for 7% of revenues No one customer accounts for more than 2% of revenues 418,000 customers – 11,000 large-quantity generators, such as hospitals, blood banks and pharmaceutical manufacturers – 407,000 small-quantity generators, such as outpatient clinics, medical and dental offices, long-term and sub-acute care facilities and retail pharmacies

SWOT Analysis Weaknesses – Subject to extensive governmental regulation, which is usually difficult, expensive, and time- consuming to comply with – Exposure to environmental liabilities which may not be covered by insurance – Patents for ETD start to expire in May 2009 – Inability to complete acquisitions may slow down revenue and profit growth

SWOT Analysis Opportunities – Very fragmented industry provides acquisition opportunities – Growing global market – High demand by small-quantity generators
