*Amounts are non-GAAP financial measures.
See the schedules below for definitions and a discussion of non-GAAP financial metrics, including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
*Tax Legislation Developments*
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits ("Pillar Two") for multinational enterprises with annual global revenues exceeding €750 million.
Pillar Two has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries and is intended to apply for tax years beginning in 2024.
The OECD has issued administrative guidance (including transitional safe harbor rules) in conjunction with the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax.
These rules did not have a material impact on financial results in 2024 due to certain transitional safe harbors.
The Company will continue to monitor the potential impact of Pillar Two proposals and developments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as various tax jurisdictions begin enacting such legislation.

Gross margin improved 50 basis points to 52.7% in 2024 compared to 52.2% in 2023, as pricing more than offset inflationary pressures.
The increase is driven by expenses associated with growth initiatives aimed at capitalizing on the health of our underlying markets.
Selling and marketing costs have increased 40 basis points as we continue to invest in growth initiatives.
This was partially offset by 20 basis points of leverage associated with lower administrative costs.
*Restructuring Costs*
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, restructuring costs decreased by $5.2 million.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we executed a restructuring program to modernize our workforce.
No such costs were incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The improvement in operating income as a percentage of revenue is primarily driven by the improvement in gross profit discussed previously.
The 2024 rate was negatively impacted by higher state income taxes and foreign income taxes compared to 2023.
Our team delivered a strong finish to the 2024 fiscal year, exceeding our own revenue expectations and delivering healthy earnings growth for the full year.
We invested meaningfully in our business throughout 2024, which helped accelerate the organic revenue growth* rate in the third and fourth quarter of the year.
We are capitalizing on this momentum as we start 2025, while remaining focused on continuous improvement initiatives to enhance profitability across our business.
We saw strong full year growth in revenue, cash flow and earnings in 2024.
We delivered double-digit revenue and operating cash flow growth, as well as a 40 basis point improvement in operating margins.
Growth investments and pressure from developments on legacy auto claims that materialized in December of 2024 impacted our incremental adjusted EBITDA margin* for the year.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the [removed: "Credit Facility").][added: "Revolving Credit Facility") and on its commercial paper program.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Company had [added: no] outstanding borrowings [removed: of $397.0 million] under the [added: Revolving] Credit [removed: Facility.][added: Facility and $114.4 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings.]

Item 1. A. Risk Factors
32 rewritten, 53 added, 242 removed, 156 unchanged
The [removed: increase] [added: decrease] in pest presence and [removed: activity, as well as the metamorphosis of termites] [added: activity] in the [removed: spring] [added: fall] and [removed: summer (the occurrence of which is determined by the timing of the change in seasons),] [added: winter] has historically resulted in [removed: an increase] [added: a decrease] in the revenue [added: and income] of our pest and termite control operations during such [removed: periods as evidenced by the following table.][added: periods.]
[removed: Noncompliance with, changes in, expanded enforcement of, or] adoption of new laws and regulations governing hazardous waste disposal and other environmental matters, could result in operational changes and increased costs.
Any failure to comply with such applicable laws or regulations could result in [removed: fines] [added: fines, enforcement actions, class actions] or legal proceedings.
[removed: We] [added: Also, we] cannot assure investors that we will [removed: be able to identify and acquire acceptable acquisition targets on terms favorable to us in the future, that we will] receive necessary regulatory approvals, or that any acquisitions will achieve the anticipated financial benefits.
[removed: Our inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefits from any acquisition] transactions may not be realized due to any number of factors, including, but not limited to, unsuccessful onboarding efforts, unexpected or underestimated liabilities or increased costs, fees, expenses and charges related to such transactions.
Such adverse events could result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of goodwill or other intangible assets established as a result of such transactions, triggering an [removed: impairment.][added: impairment as well as a negative impact on inorganic and/or organic growth.]
Our strong brands, such as Orkin, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Clark Pest Control, Northwest Exterminating, Fox Pest Control, [added: Saela Pest Control,] Trutech, Western Pest Services, The Industrial Fumigant Company (IFC), Waltham Services, Okolona Pest Control (OPC), and Critter Control, have significantly contributed to the success of our business.
Our ability to remain productive and profitable will depend substantially on our ability to compete with other pest control and service companies to attract, adequately train, and retain skilled [removed: workers and key employees (including executive officers), and create leadership opportunities.][added: workers.]
The demand for [added: skilled] employees is high, and the supply is limited.
Our inability to fully or substantially meet customer demand due to distributor or supply chain issues could result in, among other things, unmet consumer demand leading to reduced preference for our products or services in the future, [removed: customers'] [added: customer] purchasing services from competitors, strained customer relationships, termination of customer contracts, additional competition and new entrants into the market, and loss of potential sales and revenue.
Our business is also affected by extreme weather such as hurricanes, wildfires, [added: snow storms,] and other storms which can impact our ability to operate as well as drought [added: and cold weather] which can greatly reduce the pest population for extended periods.
The possible effects of climate change could include changes in rainfall patterns, water shortages, changing storm patterns and intensities, changing temperature levels, as well as changes in legislation, regulation, and international accords, all of [removed: which could adversely impact our costs and business operations.]
We currently conduct business in international markets, with approximately 7% of our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] revenues derived from our international operations.
Our ability to operate successfully in international markets may be adversely affected by political, economic and social conditions beyond our control and geopolitical [removed: conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza.][added: conflicts.]
Also, we may be adversely affected by local laws and customs and legal and regulatory constraints, including compliance with applicable export, anti-corruption and currency laws and regulations of the [added: United States and other] countries or regions in which we currently operate or [removed: intend to] [added: may] operate in the future.
These could include unauthorized access to or unintentional distribution of personal, financial, proprietary, confidential, or other protected data or information the Company is entrusted to keep about its customers, employees, business practices, or third parties; significant operational disruptions that result from a cybersecurity incident; or vulnerabilities through the use of evolving tools such as [removed: Artificial Intelligence.*][added: AI.*]

We may not be able to identify and acquire acceptable acquisition targets on terms favorable to us in the future, as investors increase in our industry.
Our inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefits from any acquisition

In addition, acquired businesses may operate on legacy or incompatible information technology systems, maintain data security, privacy or compliance practices that differ from ours, or have undisclosed or underestimated cybersecurity, data protection, employment, regulatory or operational liabilities.
Difficulties integrating acquired companies’ systems, processes, personnel, data or controls, including cybersecurity and privacy controls, could increase costs, disrupt operations, delay realization of anticipated synergies, or expose us to additional risks.
Our increasing reliance on cloud-based platforms, third-party software providers, managed service providers, and emerging technologies, increases the complexity of our IT environment and may expose us to additional risks.
Failures, interruptions,

security incidents, or performance issues involving third-party systems or technologies on which we rely could disrupt operations, impair customer service, delay billing or collections, or result in increased costs and reputational harm.
*Our increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in our services and operations, and corresponding reliance by our competitors, present several risks that could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.*
We are increasingly incorporating AI capabilities into the development of technologies and our business operations, our services, and other operational and administrative processes.
While we believe these technologies enhance efficiency and service quality, their use presents risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
AI technology is complex and rapidly evolving, and may subject us to significant competitive, legal, regulatory, operational and other risks.
We are committed to developing and using AI responsibly and to maintain our competitive position, but there can be no guarantee that we will successfully mitigate all associated risks.
Any failure in our AI initiatives could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
*We are subject to evolving payment card network rules, including PCI DSS, and security risks associated with payment processing systems.*
We accept credit and debit card payments across multiple channels.
As a result, we are subject to payment card network rules and operating regulations, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), which is a set of comprehensive security requirements designed to protect payment card account data during the storage, processing, and transmission of such data.
We rely on third-party payment processors, cloud service providers, telecommunications carriers, and other vendors in connection with payment card processing and related systems.
If we, or any of our third-party service providers, fail to maintain PCI DSS compliance, experience a security breach, or are otherwise found to have compromised payment card data, we could be subject to fines, penalties, higher transaction fees, remediation costs, litigation, reputational harm, and potential indemnification obligations.
In extreme circumstances, we could lose our ability to accept credit or debit card payments, whether temporarily or permanently, which would adversely affect our operations and customer relationships.

which could adversely impact our costs and business operations.
*Invasive pests as well as pest population resistance could materially and adversely impact our business*.
If a species previously not encountered arrives and becomes invasive, our business would be negatively impacted until appropriate methods for control are developed or deployed.
Additionally, pest populations can develop resistance to the pest management tools we use which may impact our ability to gain effective control and impact our business.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that current or future technologies to control invasive or resistant pest infestations would be effective.
Such infestations could increase costs and decrease revenues which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
*We currently conduct business in international markets, which presents unique challenges.*

Cybersecurity incidents, including ransomware attacks, social engineering, credential theft, or system outages, could result in business interruption, loss of revenue, increased costs, extortion demands, or delays in service delivery, even if no sensitive data is ultimately compromised.
Our contingency plans and insurance coverage may not be sufficient to prevent or fully mitigate all such impacts.
Noncompliance with, changes in, expanded enforcement of, or

Regulatory actions that restrict, suspend, or prohibit the use of certain pesticide products, active ingredients, or other pest management tools, or impose additional licensing, reporting or training requirements, have and could require operational changes, increase costs, reduce service effectiveness, or limit our ability to offer certain services in specific markets.

The commercial insurance market, including automobile and liability insurance, has experienced periods of increased premiums, reduced capacity, higher deductibles, or more restrictive terms.
If such trends continue or worsen, our insurance costs could increase materially, or coverage may become more difficult to obtain on acceptable terms.
In addition, our compliance with remedial or containment measures could impact

General Overview
Rollins, Inc. (“Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is an international services company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Through our family of leading brands, we provide essential pest and wildlife control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to more than two million residential and commercial customers from more than 800 Company-owned and franchised locations in approximately 70 countries.
Over the course of our lengthy operating history, we have garnered a reputation for providing great customer service.
The contracted and recurring nature of our services provide us with visibility into a significant portion of our future revenue.
In 1964, brothers O.
Wayne and John Rollins acquired Orkin Exterminating Company and in 1965 we changed our name from Rollins Broadcasting, Inc to Rollins, Inc. In 1968, Rollins began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ROL.” Since then, we have grown into a premier consumer and commercial services business with numerous industry leading brands including the world renowned Orkin, as well as HomeTeam Pest Defense, Clark Pest Control, Western Pest Services, Critter Control Wildlife, Northwest Exterminating, and Fox Pest Control, among others.
Pest control generally consists of assessing a customer's property for conditions that invite pests, tackling current infestations, and stopping the life cycle to prevent future invaders.
Termite protection programs include liquid treatments, wet and dry foam applications, termite baiting and wood treatments.
We operate under one reportable segment which contains our three service offerings:
- *Residential*: Pest control services protecting residential properties from common pests, including rodents, insects and wildlife;
- *Commercial*: Workplace pest control solutions for customers across diverse end markets such as healthcare, food service, logistics; and
- *Termite and Ancillary*: Termite protection services and ancillary services (wildlife exclusion, crawlspace encapsulation and moisture remediation, insulation) for both residential and commercial customers.
Risk factors associated with our business are discussed in Item 1.A.
"Risk Factors."
Our Strategic Objectives
We regularly assess the business environment, as well as our own strengths and opportunities, and have aligned around key strategic objectives that will help us to drive continued success for Rollins.
*People First*
We promote a people first mindset that prioritizes the well-being and development of the individual, as well as our collective team, in all aspects of our business.
To provide our customers with the best customer experience, we must focus on cultivating our position as the employer of choice in our industry.
This means not only investing in competitive wages and benefits, but also providing tools, training and development opportunities that drive a high level of teammate engagement.
*Customer Loyalty*
We focus on creating the best customer experience that will enable a loyal customer base and in turn reduce the amount of churn across our customer base.
This starts with our people and the interactions they have with our customers.
By focusing on this key objective, we expect it to enable growth that will outpace our market growth.
*Growth Mindset*
A growth mindset helps us consider ways to improve and best position our business.
Our focus here is to identify changes that may present both risks and opportunities to our business.
We focus on evaluating changes in the markets we compete
in but also across other industries to continue to identify changing dynamics that may impact our people and our customers that may impact our position in the markets we compete.
*Operational Efficiency*
As a complement to our growth mindset, our dedication to continuous improvement and operational efficiency is another key tenet of our strategy and culture.
We approach our operations from the perspective that everything we do can be improved upon.
We are constantly striving to improve our service levels by optimizing our business model and modernizing our business.
We believe that our alignment around the key strategic areas will enable us to grow faster than our market, position our business for the future, and deliver value for all stakeholders, including our customers, our teammates, our communities and our shareholders.
Our Competitive Strengths
Rollins is a leader in the global pest control market.
We have established a portfolio of premier brands with extensive service capabilities across a deep operating network with a focus on our core pest control market.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in, and will continue to be involved in, various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, [added: inquiries,] investigations, litigation, [removed: environmental] and tax and other regulatory matters relating to, and arising out of, our businesses and our operations.
These matters may involve, but are not limited to, allegations that our services or vehicles caused damage or injury, claims that our services did not achieve the desired [removed: results (including claims that we are responsible for termite damage to a structure),] [added: results,] claims related to acquisitions and allegations by federal, state or local authorities, including taxing authorities, of violations of regulations or statutes.
In addition, we are parties to employment-related [removed: cases] [added: investigations, cases,] and claims from time to time, which may include claims on a representative or class action basis alleging wage and hour law [removed: violations or] [added: violations,] claims [added: filed under California's Private Attorneys General Act and claims and investigations] related to [removed: the operation of] our [removed: retirement benefit plans.][added: enforcement of post-employment restrictive covenants.]
We are also involved from time to time in certain environmental [removed: and tax] matters primarily arising in the normal course of business.
We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably [removed: estimable.][added: estimable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450.]
[removed: The] [added: In January 2023, the] Company [removed: has] received a notice of alleged violations and information requests from local governmental authorities in California for our Orkin and Clark Pest Control [removed: operations and is currently working with several local governments regarding] [added: operations, relating to] compliance with environmental [added: and other] regulations [added: governing the management of certain waste streams and pesticide disposal.]
The investigation [removed: appears to be] [added: was] part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries.
Management does not believe that any pending [removed: claim, proceeding] or [added: threatened claim, proceeding,] litigation, regulatory action or investigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.
[Table of](#i56aab0edb40940b1a32f6e72d77f19e0_7) [Contents](#i56aab0edb40940b1a32f6e72d77f19e0_7)
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has requested information regarding certain of the Company’s practices relating to post-employment restrictive covenants entered by the Company with certain of its employees.
Rollins has fully cooperated with the FTC’s requests for information and responded to any concerns they have identified, and we believe that our employee agreements and practices are, and have been, fully consistent with federal antitrust laws as well as common industry practices and applicable state employment laws.
Rollins, however, cannot predict the outcome of the FTC’s inquiry.
Any voluntary agreement with the FTC to resolve the FTC inquiry is unlikely to have a material impact on Rollins.
The FTC could also choose to proceed to litigation.
In the event of litigation, the Company is prepared to vigorously defend its practices, but we are unable to predict the outcome.
The Company and district attorneys reached a settlement and a payment was made during 2025.
For future periods, pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S‑K, we have elected to use a threshold of $1.0 million (which does not exceed the lesser of $1.0 million or 1% of our current assets as of December 31, 2025) for disclosing environmental proceedings to which a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions.
We will apply this threshold consistently in our annual and quarterly reports.
We will continue to disclose any environmental proceedings that we determine are otherwise material, regardless of the amount of potential monetary sanctions.
governing the management of hazardous waste and pesticide disposal.
While we are unable to predict the outcome of this investigation, we do not believe the outcome will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Item 1.
Business
General Overview
Rollins, Inc. (“Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is an international services company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Through our family of leading brands, we provide essential pest and wildlife control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to more than two million residential and commercial customers from more than 800 Company-owned and franchised locations in approximately 70 countries.
Over the course of our lengthy operating history, we have garnered a reputation for providing great customer service.
The contracted and recurring nature of our services provide us with visibility into a significant portion of our future revenue.
In 1964, brothers O.
Wayne and John Rollins acquired Orkin Exterminating Company and in 1965 we changed our name from Rollins Broadcasting, Inc to Rollins, Inc. In 1968, Rollins began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ROL.” Since then, we have grown into a premier global consumer and commercial services company with numerous industry leading brands including Aardwolf Pestkare, Clark Pest Control, Crane Pest Control, Critter Control, Fox Pest Control, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Industrial Fumigant Company, McCall Service, MissQuito, Northwest Exterminating, OPC Pest Services, Orkin, Orkin Australia, Orkin Canada, PermaTreat, Safeguard, Saela Pest Control, Trutech, Waltham Services, Western Pest Services, and more.
Pest control generally consists of assessing a customer's property for conditions that invite pests, tackling current infestations, and stopping the life cycle to prevent future invaders.
Termite protection programs include liquid treatments, wet and dry foam applications, termite baiting and wood treatments.
We operate under one reportable segment which contains our three service offerings:
- *Residential*: Pest control services protecting residential properties from common pests, including rodents, insects and wildlife;
- *Commercial*: Workplace pest control solutions for customers across diverse end markets such as healthcare, food service, logistics; and
- *Termite and Ancillary*: Termite protection services and ancillary services for both residential and commercial customers.
Recurring services, which make up the majority of our business, include ongoing pest prevention treatment under a scheduled service agreement and relationships often extend over multi-year periods.
Ancillary services include pest, rodent, and wildlife exclusion; crawlspace encapsulation and moisture remediation, and insulation, amongst other services, and represents an opportunity to increase our depth of relationship with our existing customers.
One-time services typically consist of single-service treatment for specific pest issues such as bed bugs, wildlife removal, termite treatments, and infestations.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 75% of our business was recurring services, 10% was ancillary services, and 15% was one-time services.
Risk factors associated with our business are discussed in Item 1.A.
"Risk Factors."
Our Strategic Objectives
We regularly assess the business environment, as well as our own strengths and opportunities, and have aligned around key strategic objectives that will help us drive continued success for Rollins.
*People First*
We promote a people first mindset that prioritizes the well-being and development of the teammate, as well as our collective team, in all aspects of our business.
To provide our customers with the best customer experience, we must focus on cultivating our position as the employer of choice in our industry.
This means not only investing in competitive wages
