2008-02-14	Earnings/Dividends	Strong Pricing Drives Q4 Revenue to Over $1.5 Billion Q4 Gross Margins* Expand 180 Basis Points to 38.6% Full Year Free Cash Flow* Up 92% to $479 Million 2008 Outlook Shows Continued Strong Financial Gains PHOENIX, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire FirstCall/ Allied Waste Industries, Inc. , the nation's second largest waste services company, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. For the quarter, income from continuing operations was $117.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, inclusive of a tax benefit of $0.03 per share. Prior year earnings from continuing operations of $8.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, include charges totaling $0.17 per share associated with tax related matters, divestitures and asset impairments. For the quarter, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 41% over the prior year. Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.52 billion, an increase of $54.8 million, or 3.7%, over prior year revenue of $1.47 billion. Higher revenue for the quarter was driven by a 5.7% increase in average price as the Company continued to benefit from ongoing implementation of its strategic pricing program. In addition, the Company's fuel recovery fee increased 50 basis points in the fourth quarter compared with the prior year which reflects the impact of higher diesel fuel costs. Higher prices for the period were partially offset by a 3.8% decrease in volumes related primarily to the continued slowing of the economy. "This past year saw an acceleration in key business performance measures including earnings growth, margin expansion, cash flow generation and, in turn, debt reduction," said John Zillmer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "By strengthening our core capabilities, we have been able to deliver excellent financial results, while building an operating and financial platform that supports the future growth of Allied Waste." Gross profit* for the quarter was $586.7 million, up $47.0 million, or 8.7%, over the comparable period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 38.6%. The 180 basis point expansion in gross margins reflects the positive impact of higher prices, the systematic elimination of low margin business and the Company's continued success in flexing down costs in response to lower volumes. Operating income for the quarter increased 17.6% to $294.6 million, compared with $250.5 million last year. Fourth quarter operating income as a percent of revenue was 19.4%, an increase of 230 basis points over the same period last year. Fourth quarter cash flow from operations was $324.3 million, compared with $289.8 million in the prior year, as the quarter benefited from higher operating income, partially offset by changes in working capital. Free cash flow* for the quarter gained 14.0% to $164.2 million, as increased cash flow from operations was partially offset by higher capital expenditures. Free cash flow for the full year increased 92% to $479.0 million, compared with $250.1 million for the prior year, resulting primarily from the strong increase in operating income and favorable changes in working capital. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Allied Waste's revenue was $6.07 billion, an increase of $160.2 million, or 2.7%, over prior year. Continued strong pricing for the year of 6.0% was partially offset by a 3.5% decline in annual volumes driven primarily by a slowdown in housing construction. Operating income for the year increased 10.6% to $1.06 billion, as operating margins expanded 120 basis points to 17.4%. Income from continuing operations in 2007 doubled to $309.8 million, compared with 2006 income of $155.8 million. Reported 2007 earnings from continuing operations increased to $0.71 per diluted share, inclusive of approximately $0.14 per share in charges associated with asset sales, impairments and refinancing costs, partially offset by $0.05 per share in tax b

Allied Waste's Commitment to Sound Environmental Stewardship Nationwide, Allied Waste is committed to sound environmental stewardship and working closely with customers to help them achieve their own "green" goals.

In the area of alternative energy, Allied Waste is a leader in advancing landfill gas to energy (GTE) solutions. The company currently has 52 landfill gas to energy projects underway, including 41 electric generation plants, operating at facilities owned or operated by the company's subsidiaries across the country.
