In connection with the completion of the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company effected a stock split and recapitalization and issued 64,493,536 shares of Common Stock directly to existing shareholders. Accordingly, as all share amounts and per share amounts will be retrospectively adjusted in future financial statements, the Company is presenting historical per share amounts based on the revised shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. These historical earnings per share amounts differ from the pro forma earnings per share amounts included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-206508), as amended, as such pro forma amounts included the shares issued in connection with the Offering.

Revised basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.22 and $0.30, respectively. Revised basic and diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.22 and $0.30, respectively. Revised basic and diluted loss from continuing operations per share for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $0.52, $0.27 and $1.48, respectively.
