     On February 8, 1994, WMX Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") announced
operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 1993.  For the quarter
ended December 31, 1993, revenue was $2,386,909,000 versus $2,203,080,000 in the
quarter a year earlier.  Net income was $162,923,000, or $0.34 per share, versus
$182,805,000, or $0.37 per share, in the quarter in 1992.  For the full year
ended December 31, 1993, revenue was $9,135,577,000 compared with $8,661,027,000
in 1992.  Net income was $452,776,000, or $0.93 per share, compared with
$850,036,000, or $1.72 per share, in 1992.

     Net income for both 1993 and 1992 was impacted by special charges, gains
from stock issuances of subsidiaries, and, in 1992, accounting changes.  The
following table reconciles reported earnings per share to earnings excluding
such items:
