The waste-management company said it earned $110.4 million, or $0.23 per share, in the quarter, up from a profit of $22.1 million, in the year-prior quarter. The result surpassed the Capital IQ consensus forecast for a profit of $0.16 per share.

The company also said that starting Jan. 1, Greg Yorston will hand over the role of chief operating officer to Billy Soffera, its current executive vice president of solid waste operations. Yorston will stay in an advisory role until the end of 2025 to ensure a smooth transition.
