GFL Environmental (GFL; GFLU) Investigation

The investigation centers on whether GFL reports its true financial condition consistent with applicable accounting rules.

More specifically, on Aug. 18, 2020, Spruce Point Capital Management published a scathing report Green for Life; Red for Losses. According to the report, [a]fter conducting a forensic financial and accounting review (inc. multiple former employees interviews), Spruce Point believes shares of GFL Environmental (TSX/NYSE: GFL), a cash degenerative North American roll-up of environmental service companies, are worthless. Spruce Points report concludes, in part, GFL understates its debt by at least C$460 million, engages in aggressive revenue and EBITDA reporting, and understates its free cash burn by about 60%. In addition, the report questions whether the company hid related-party transactions with its CEO.

This news drove the price of GFL shares sharply lower.

Were focused on investors losses and whether GFLs financial disclosures were sufficiently transparent so as not to mislead investors, said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
