Underlying EBITDA of $581.6 million was 8.7% higher than the pcp reflecting the contribution from SRN, new customer contracts and commodities partially offset by lower volumes from New Chum landfill, higher fuel prices, COVID-19 related impacts – particularly in the Health Services business, floods and labour availability. Net Revenue of $2,604 million was 18.4% higher than the pcp with higher revenue across all segments primarily driven by a general recovery in economic conditions, new customer contracts, recent acquisitions, pandemic related clinical waste and higher commodity revenue.
