Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 28, 2016, Stericycle, Inc. (the “Company”), in its press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, modified the presentation of revenues in Table 1-A, Global Revenue Details by Service, for the periods presented therein. As of September 30, 2016, revenues from certain customers that were previously classified within Manufacturing and Industrial Services (M&I) have been increasingly viewed by management as being more appropriately classified within Regulated Waste and Compliance Services. Accordingly, the Company is furnishing this current report on Form 8-K on the date hereof to present historical revenue data on a basis consistent with the new reporting structure and adjusted allocation of revenue by service. 

The following table provides a recast of revenues under the new reporting format for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015, March 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016. The table also provides the recast of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the six months ending June 30, 2016. The recasting of previously issued financial information in the table below does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements for any of the previously reported periods.

The information in this Item 2.02 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015, March 31, 2016 (as amended), June 30, 2016 and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (as amended).

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
