# Republic Services: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Republic Services reports revenue across 3 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Group1 is the largest, with $7.5 billion of revenue (45% of the total), followed by Group2 at $7.3 billion (44%).

## How Does Republic Services Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Group1, is 45%, which spreads Republic Services's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Group1 grew fastest (+6.6%) and Group3 slowest (-4.2%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Group1 while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Group1 | $7.5 billion | $7.0 billion | 45.3% | 6.6% |
| Group2 | $7.3 billion | $7.1 billion | 44.1% | 2.4% |
| Group3 | $1.8 billion | $1.8 billion | 10.6% | -4.2% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Republic Services's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Republic Services reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 18, 2026 (accession 0001060391-26-000094), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
