Republic Services Inc. (RSG) reported better-than-expected earnings in its most recent quarter, driven by higher revenue and cost cuts.
The company also raised its guidance for the year, and shares rose 2% in after hours trading. The company now projects $2.02 to $2.05 of per-share earnings, above its March guidance of $1.98 to $2.01 a share.
The waste-management and recycling company also declared a 2-cent, or 7.1%, increase to its quarterly dividend. The 30-cent dividend will be paid Oct. 15.
Republic said its results were helped by lower costs and better productivity because of advancements in its fleet-based initiatives. It also benefited from lower gas prices.
For the quarter, Republic reported earnings of $190.3 million, or 54 cents a share, up from $170 million, or 50 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue increased 3.7% to $2.31 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of 51 cents a share on revenue of $2.31 billion.
