INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK - POSITIVE

We believe that the Pollution control industry will benefit immensely from an imminent economic recovery. Anecdotal evidence points towards an improvement in volumes, which had so far eluded the sector due to weak economic growth. Apart from higher volumes, we expect pricing power to return to the sector partly due to improved business conditions and partly due to the consolidated nature of the industry where the top three players account for nearly 70% of the total waste volumes.

We believe that the waste industry is benefiting from the pick up in economic activity. Waste volumes have started improving especially in areas such as industrial and commercial construction, which account for a significant portion of waste industry volumes. In our view internal growth rates of most companies in this space will be tied to the 3%-4% growth rate expected of the U.S. economy. Since waste volumes lag economic growth by between 3-6 months, we anticipate the industry to benefit substantially by the second half of this year. Pricing discipline is also likely to be strong (given the less fragmented nature of the industry).

Some companies like WMI and AW are also likely to benefit from cost restructuring and asset divestures during 2004, which will have a profound impact on margins and EPS. These companies are also more leveraged to an economic upturn (and hence volumes) than some of the other companies in the group.
