GFL ENVIRONMENTAL INC. ANNOUNCES CREDIT RATING UPGRADE FROM S&P GLOBAL RATINGS

S&P Global Ratings has upgraded GFL Environmental Inc.'s issuer credit rating to BB minus from B plus, while maintaining a positive outlook.

"The rating upgrade from S&P is a testament to the strong execution of our strategy to increase free cash flow and de-lever the business," said Patrick Dovigi, chief executive officer and founder of GFL. "We remain committed to making disciplined capital allocation decisions while continuing to focus on de-levering the business, with the expectation that we will achieve an investment grade credit rating before the majority of our fixed rate debt matures."
