NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable sections of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulation S-X, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies or the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rollins, Inc. (including its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, “Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considered the impact of economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the quarter have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding economic trends. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The severity, magnitude and duration of certain economic trends continue to be uncertain and are difficult to predict. Therefore, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to economic trends and may change materially in future periods.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (2) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) (disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes) as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid net of refunds, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (disaggregated between domestic and foreign) and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (disaggregated by federal, state and foreign). The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new ASU on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE)", which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

2025 Acquisitions

The Company made 4 acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The aggregate preliminary values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at the dates of acquisition are included in the reconciliation of the total preliminary consideration as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2025

Included in the total consideration of $28.9 million are acquisition holdback liabilities of $4.7 million.

The Company also made payments of $3.1 million for prior year acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Goodwill from acquisitions represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized. A majority of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Valuations of certain assets and liabilities, including intangible assets and goodwill, as of the acquisition date have not been finalized at this time and are provisional.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had long-term unearned revenue of $42.2 million and $43.0 million, respectively, recorded in other long-term accrued liabilities. Unearned short-term revenue is recognized over the next 12-month period. We recognized $45.2 million and $43.1 million of revenue in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that was included in the balance of unearned revenue at the beginning of each respective fiscal year. The majority of unearned long-term revenue is recognized over a period of five years or less with immaterial amounts recognized through 2035.

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, primarily sales commissions. These costs are recorded as an asset and amortized to expense over the life of the contract to the extent such costs are expected to be recovered. As of March 31, 2025, we have $16.8 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, of which $14.8 million is recorded within other current assets and $2.0 million is recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated statement of financial position. As of December 31, 2024, we had $23.4 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, of which $19.3 million was recorded within other current assets and $4.1 million was recorded within other assets on our condensed consolidated statement of financial position. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded approximately $7.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of amortization of capitalized costs, which is recorded within sales, general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statement of income.

NOTE 5. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily related to accounts receivables and financed receivables derived from customer services revenue. To reduce credit risk for residential pest control accounts receivable, we promote enrollment in our auto-pay programs. In general, we may suspend future services for customers with past due balances. The Company’s credit risk is generally low with a large number of individuals and entities comprising Rollins’ customer base and dispersion across many different geographical regions.

The Company manages its financed receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risks. The Company’s established credit evaluation and monitoring procedures seek to minimize the amount of business we conduct

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

with higher risk customers. The credit quality of a potential obligor is evaluated at the loan origination based on an assessment of the individual’s credit bureau score. Rollins requires a potential obligor to have good credit worthiness with low risk before entering into a contract. Depending upon the individual’s credit score, the Company may accept with 100% financing, require a significant down payment or turn down the contract. Delinquencies of accounts are monitored each month. Financed receivables include installment receivable amounts, some of which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet dates.

The Company’s allowances for credit losses for trade accounts receivable and financed receivables are developed using historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and a review of the current status of customers’ receivables. The Company’s receivable pools are classified between residential customers, commercial customers, large commercial customers, and financed receivables. Accounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that amounts are uncollectible, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected. The Company stops accruing interest to these receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. Below is a roll forward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Long-term Debt

2035 Senior Notes

In February 2025, we issued ten-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million due on February 24, 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. We issued the 2035 Senior Notes at 98.443% of par, representing a discount of $7.8 million, and paid approximately $5.4 million for debt issuance costs. The interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 24 and

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

August 24 of each year at 5.25% per annum, beginning on August 24, 2025, and the entire principal amount is due at the time of maturity. We used the net proceeds from this offering primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, as well as for general corporate purposes.

The 2035 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and, at the time of issuance, were guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries that were guarantors under its Revolving Credit Facility, provided for by the Credit Agreement defined below. Subsequent to the issuance of the 2035 Senior Notes, and described further below, we amended our Credit Agreement to release the Company's subsidiaries as guarantors.

The indenture governing the 2035 Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur liens and certain types of indebtedness. The indenture also provides for customary events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding 2035 Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2025.

The effective interest rate of our 2035 Senior Notes was 5.6% as of March 31, 2025.

Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

In March 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No 1”), among the Company, JPMorgan Chase, and the lenders party thereto, which amended the Credit Agreement with, among others, the Company and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment No. 1, among other things, released each of Orkin, LLC, Northwest Exterminating Co., LLC, Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc. and Hometeam Pest Defense, Inc. (collectively, the “Existing Guarantors”) as guarantors under the Credit Agreement. Following the release of the Existing Guarantors from their guarantees of the obligations under the Credit Agreement, no subsidiary of the Company guarantees the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, subject to a $400 million foreign currency sublimit. Rollins has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in the form of increased revolving commitments or one or more tranches of term loans by up to an additional $750 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The maturity date of the loans under the Credit Agreement is February 24, 2028.

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Rollins’ election, at (i) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, (A) an alternate base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%), which is the greatest of (x) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (y) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate, plus 50 basis points, and (z) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; or (B) the greater of term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus 10 basis points (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) and zero, plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; and (ii) for loans denominated in other currencies, such interest rates as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, certain financial covenants including covenants restricting Rollins’ ability to incur certain indebtedness or liens, or to merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of its assets to another entity. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant restricting Rollins’ ability to permit the ratio of Rollins’ consolidated total net debt to EBITDA to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Following certain acquisitions, Rollins may elect to increase the financial covenant level to 4.00 to 1.00 temporarily. The Company is in compliance with applicable debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $397.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Short-term Debt

Commercial Paper Program

In March 2025, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a total of $1 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.

Letters of Credit

The Company maintained $82.4 million in letters of credit as of March 31, 2025 and $72.0 million as of December 31, 2024. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance companies, due to the Company’s high deductible insurance program, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Debt Securities

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had investments in international bonds of $8.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. These bonds are accounted for as available for sale securities and are Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy. The bonds are recorded at their fair market values and reported within other current assets and other assets in our condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The unrealized gain or loss activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not significant.

Contingent Consideration

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $25.0 million and $21.0 million of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities payable to former owners of acquired companies, respectively. The earnout liabilities were adjusted to reflect the expected probability of payout, and both earnout and holdback liabilities were discounted to their net present value on the Company’s books and are considered Level 3 liabilities. The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for these liabilities.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade and financed receivables, accounts payable, and short-term liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility approximate fair value, as interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates.

The following table presents the aggregate fair value and carrying value of our 2035 Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:

NOTE 9. CONTINGENCIES

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, investigations, and regulatory and litigation 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 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 investigations, cases, and claims from time to time, which may include claims on a representative or class action basis alleging wage and hour law violations, claims filed under California's Private Attorneys General Act, and claims related to our enforcement of post-employment restrictive covenants. We are also involved from time to time in certain environmental 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 estimable in accordance with ASC 450.

The Company retains, up to specified limits, certain risks related to general liability, workers’ compensation and auto liability. The estimated costs of existing and future claims under the retained loss program are accrued based upon historical trends as incidents occur, whether reported or unreported (although actual settlement of the claims may not be made until future periods) and may be subsequently revised based on developments relating to such claims. The Company contracts with an independent third-party actuary to provide the Company an estimated liability based upon historical claims information. The actuarial study is a major consideration in establishing the reserve, along with management’s knowledge of changes in business practice and existing claims compared to current balances. Management’s judgment is inherently subjective as a number of factors are outside management’s knowledge and control. Additionally, historical information is not always an accurate indication of future events. The accruals and reserves we hold are based on estimates that involve a degree of judgment and are inherently variable and could be overestimated or insufficient. If actual claims exceed our estimates, our operating results could be materially affected, and our ability to take timely corrective actions to limit future costs may be limited.

Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental legal proceedings if the proceeding reasonably involves potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or more. The Company has received a notice of alleged violations and information requests from local governmental authorities in California for our Orkin and Clark Pest Control operations and is currently working with several local governments regarding compliance with environmental regulations governing the management of hazardous waste and pesticide disposal. The investigation appears to be part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries. 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.

Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or 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.

Stock-based compensation expense$8,799$7,181

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to participating common stockholders by the weighted average number of participating common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to participating common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive equity.

A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows (in thousands):

Weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted484,434484,318

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based upon the Company’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year applied to “ordinary” income or loss, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $32.3 million and $30.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 23.5% in the first quarter of 2025 compared with 24.3% in the first quarter of 2024. The lower rate for the quarter was primarily due to increased benefits from stock-based compensation.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company operates under one reportable segment which contains our residential, commercial, and termite service offerings. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer. The CODM uses net income to assess financial performance and allocate resources.
