PART I
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
3
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 and 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. Our scale enables delivery of great customer service and provides a significant and reinforcing competitive advantage through (i) comprehensive capabilities to win new residential and commercial accounts, (ii) technology investments for operations optimization and enhanced customer experience, (iii) a diverse portfolio of brands of varying sizes of which to innovate, test, learn, and grow or expand, particularly when it comes to emerging technology, (iv) route density to manage variable costs, and (v) financial flexibility to generate organic growth and pursue acquisitions.
Robust Operating Platform with Proprietary Technology
Our extensive footprint creates an efficient and scalable operating platform to facilitate exceptional customer service delivery, increased cross-selling opportunities, and cost efficiencies. We have strategically invested in proprietary routing and scheduling technologies to increase our competitive advantage, which includes real-time service tracking and customer internet communication to personalize the customer experience. The majority of our business runs on our proprietary Branch Operating Support System (“BOSS”), which offers a back-end interface to facilitate service tracking and payment processing for technicians. BOSS also provides virtual route management tools to increase route efficiency across our network, reducing miles driven and associated costs while increasing customer retention through on-time and rapid response service. We have made investments to evolve and modernize BOSS capabilities to standardize for efficiency, while continuing to deliver differentiating and exceptional customer and employee experiences. Additionally, InSite, a proprietary web reporting capability unique to our commercial customers, provides a competitive advantage and supports the growth of our commercial division.
Differentiated Employee Base and Service Delivery
Our teammates are critical to delivering an outstanding customer experience, and we are highly focused on providing our team with best-in-class training and development opportunities. We operate the 27,000 square foot Rollins Learning Center training facility located in Atlanta, GA, which is a distance-learning and global broadcast facility with simulated environments and classrooms for training. In addition to in-person training, the Rollins Learning Center offers on-demand training sessions that teammates can access from anywhere in the world that are produced at our on-site, state-of-the-art
4
broadcast studio. Our unique programs contribute to our position as an employer of choice and have earned us recognition from Training magazine among the Top 125 U.S. Training Companies 17 times in the past 23 years. We continuously monitor co-worker engagement and customer loyalty.
Experienced Management Team
Our management team combines extensive business and consumer services experience with robust local pest control leadership. Consistent with our culture of attracting, developing and progressing talented individuals, our senior leadership team consists of a combination of long-term internal leaders and strategic hires from well-respected external platforms.
Our Executive Chairman Emeritus, Gary Rollins, is the son of Rollins, Inc. co-founder O. Wayne Rollins and has spent his entire career with the Company, serving as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) from 2001 to 2022 and Executive Chairman from 2020 to 2025.

He is also a trained Entomologist.
Additional members of our Executive Leadership Team include:

International Business
We continue to expand our international presence through organic growth, acquisitions, and our international franchise programs. In 2025, we saw revenue growth in our company-owned operations in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. We believe geographic diversity allows us to increase brand recognition, meet demands of global customers, and draw on business and technical expertise from teams in several countries, and offers us an opportunity to access new markets.
5
Franchising Programs
We have franchise programs through Orkin, Critter Control, MissQuito, and our Australian subsidiaries. We had a total of 131 domestic franchise agreements as of December 31, 2025. International franchise agreements totaled 66 as of December 31, 2025. Transactions with our franchises involve sales of territories and customer contracts to establish new franchises and the payment of initial franchise fees and royalties by franchisees. The territories, customer contracts and initial franchise fees are typically paid for by a combination of cash and notes.
Acquisition Strategy
We have extensive experience acquiring companies of all sizes. Over the last three years, we have completed 94 acquisitions, including 26 acquisitions in 2025. Our acquisition strategy targets high quality, profitable businesses with strong leadership, a healthy level of brand awareness, and customer loyalty in the markets they serve that would benefit from incremental growth capital and have the potential to achieve organic growth and margin expansion.
Seasonality
Our business is affected by weather conditions, including climate change and the seasonal nature of our pest and termite control services. The increase in pest presence and activity, as well as the metamorphosis of termites in the spring and summer (the occurrence of which is determined by the timing of the change in seasons), has historically resulted in an increase in the revenue of our pest and termite control operations during such periods as evidenced by the following table.
| Consolidated Net Revenues | |||||||||||||||||
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||
| First Quarter | $ | 822,504 | $ | 748,349 | $ | 658,015 | |||||||||||

| Year to date | $ | 3,761,050 | $ | 3,388,708 | $ | 3,073,278 | |||||||||||
Our quarterly profitability correlates with our revenue due to seasonality, as profit is lower in the first and fourth quarters and higher in the second and third quarters.
Materials and Supplies
Our Company has relationships with a vast network of national pest control product distributors, manufacturers and other suppliers for pest and termite treatment products. We maintain a sufficient level of products, materials, and other supplies to fulfill our immediate servicing needs and to mitigate any potential short-term shortage in availability from our national network of suppliers. We also have qualified comparable products and materials for key categories to have alternatives ready as needed. However, at any time supply chain disruptions that are more than short-term in nature could impact our levels of products, materials and other supplies. We proactively work with our supplier base and in each of the last two years we hosted a partner summit, with over 30 of our top strategic partners in attendance at our corporate headquarters, to enhance collaboration and strategic relationships.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive environment with fragmented markets and low barriers to entry. The principal factors of competition in our pest and termite control markets are quality and speed of service, customer proximity, customer satisfaction, brand awareness and reputation, terms of guarantees, safety, technical proficiency and price. Due to our strong direct partnerships with product manufacturers, distributors, and visibility into the inventories, ordering and distribution of materials and supplies, we are able to foresee potential supply disruptions and to quickly adapt. The use of an innovative and industry changing distribution model and technology enables us to maintain adequate supplies for our field operations without a significant investment in warehousing and inventory.
6
We believe that, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we compete effectively and favorably with our competitors as one of the world’s largest pest and termite control companies. Our major competitors include Rentokil, Ecolab, Anticimex, and numerous other regional and local companies.
Research and Development
Our expenditures on research activities relating to the development of new products or services are not significant. We utilize the relationships with our manufacturers and materials suppliers to provide new and innovative products and services, coupled with in-depth reviews by our tenured Entomology Department to confirm they meet our strict requirements. We also conduct evaluations of new products with the specific manufacturers of such products and we rely on research performed by leading universities.
We maintain close relationships with several universities for research and validation of treatment procedures and material selection. Some of the new and improved service methods and products are also researched, developed and produced by unaffiliated universities and companies with a portion of these methods and products being produced to the specifications provided by us.
Human Capital
We believe one of the largest contributors to our Company’s success is the quality of our teammates. Attracting, developing and retaining high-quality talent is the primary objective of our human capital management strategy. The development and retention of high-quality talent enables a better customer experience and improved customer retention. We develop and engage our teammates through our training at all levels of our organization.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 21,946 employees. Approximately 19,700 of our employees were located in the United States, with approximately 17,560 employees at U.S. branch offices. Of the U.S. employees, less than 2% are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Culture and Values
While each of our brands may possess their own unique cultures, all of them share one important commonality: the most important people in their businesses are their teammates and their customers. In an effort to leverage this common foundation across our brands to drive deeper unity and connection for our family of brands to Rollins, we developed what we call "The Rollins Way," which we believe is the recipe for continued, sustainable growth and long, profitable relationships with our customers and teammates. "The Rollins Way" is articulated in just six words and three two-word couplets: 1) Heroic Impact; 2) Essential Together; and 3) Be Remarkable.
Our teammates have the opportunity to make a Heroic Impact on our customers and feel pride in what they do. We expect every leader to have a Heroic Impact on their people and their teams. This means embracing the concept of servant leadership by demonstrating leadership in action.
The work we do is essential to the health, safety and well-being of the customers we serve. Our work is different, but interdependent and equally critical to our success of the whole because we are Essential Together. While we each have an opportunity to make a Heroic Impact in our respective roles, we must be aligned as a team for our customers. Our collective success relies on all of us being individually committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience.
We expect our teammates and our leaders to Be Remarkable. We believe this is a key ingredient to building lasting and memorable relationships throughout our business. We expect our leaders to be keenly aware of and connected to their teammates. Being remarkable for them makes it more likely that they will be remarkable for their customers.
Leadership Development
We are making a significant investment in our leaders to support the growth of our Company and establish consistent leadership behaviors across the enterprise. Our talent and development team has designed a program called The Co-Lab—a three-and-a-half-day experience for people managers across Rollins. Leaders meet in cross-brand groups for best practice
7
sharing and networking. Servant leadership is the foundation of these sessions where leaders develop skills to help them develop themselves, their people and ultimately our business. Following the sessions leaders participate in three months of guided practice, peer coaching and continuous learning. Since The Co-Lab was established in 2025, approximately 300 leaders have completed the program.
We have also established an enterprise talent review process to support our strategic growth strategy and to identify the key talent with the potential to lead at the next level. The development for those leaders includes the Region Manager Development Program ("RMDP"). The RMDP is a comprehensive leadership development program for mid-level leaders across the organization who lead multiple business units or departments and those preparing to lead at that level. The 12-month program offers a blended learning approach that includes facilitator-led training, executive and peer mentoring, immersive field learning experiences, 360-degree assessments, a six-month executive coaching engagement, and supported individualized development plans. Since the program was established in 2018, we have graduated a total of 143 senior leaders in seven different RMDP classes with continued successes.
Through these efforts, we are creating a marketplace of cross-brand and cross-functional talent where teammates can transfer between brands and divisions, and between our home office and field operations. This provides career opportunities for our teammates, keeping our talent within Rollins, and will fuel the Company’s growth with a pipeline of future-ready leaders.
Workplace Inclusion
We make it a priority to promote and create an inclusive workplace that results in higher levels of satisfaction and engagement, stronger teammate retention, higher productivity, and a heightened sense of belonging. Our mission is to foster a culture where all teammates feel respected, are treated fairly, and have the opportunity to excel.
Our Workplace Inclusion ("WPI") mission to build an inclusive workplace has continued under the guidance of our Executive Sponsor and Inclusion Advisory Council which is made up of teammates from Rollins brands across the United States. As part of our WPI mission, we implemented the WPI Strategic Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan includes 5 Strategic Focus Areas to be implemented across all brands. The 5 Strategic Focus areas are Training & Education, Talent Acquisition & Career Development, Policies & Programs, Communication, and Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs").
Our ERGs, led by Rollins teammates, are inclusive to all and represent our teammate population. Each ERG provides a platform for teammates to connect, collaborate, and advocate for their shared interests and experiences. These groups promote inclusivity, provide networking opportunities, and contribute to a sense of belonging among teammates. We have established six ERGs:
•R-Collective: Strives to improve company culture and teammate engagement and retention through multigenerational networking.
•Women+ Resource Community: Provides a resource for women+ at any career level to achieve their goals and celebrate their accomplishments resulting in an enhanced work experience at Rollins.
•Women's Impact Network (WIN): Increases communication between the women of Orkin by providing opportunities for professional development, mentoring, and networking.
•PRIDE: Provides a network that supports the professional development of LGBTQ+ teammates and allies, promotes recruitment and retention, and builds community.
•P.E.A.C.E.: Promoting Equality, Acceptance and Cultural Empowerment through networking, team building, and allyship to foster an inclusive and respectful environment that celebrates the diverse cultures represented within the workforce.
•Mission First: Provides a network that supports U.S. veterans and their families by helping employees translate military experience to civilian roles.
Workplace Inclusion will continue to partner across brands, divisions, and teams to ensure inclusion is not a program but a fundamental part of how we work and lead.

Health and Safety
We are committed to the health and safety of our teammates, customers and communities where we work, live and play. Rollins undertakes a variety of efforts to support the health and well-being of our teammates, including their physical and mental health. This includes investing in competitive compensation and benefits while also providing the culture, tools, training and development opportunities to make working at Rollins an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Our benefit offerings include our Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), 401(k) match, personal finance education and advisory services, assistance programs to help with managing personal and work-life challenges, family support programs, and educational assistance.
We have continued our partnership with Marathon Health to provide an on-site medical clinic at our Rollins Support Center in Atlanta. The clinic provides no-cost primary care, including physical and mental health, to Rollins teammates who participate in one of our medical plans in the state of Georgia. Marathon Health also provides these services either virtually or through the existing nationwide network of Marathon Health clinics for all our teammates participating in one of our insurance plans in the U.S. This is an enhanced medical benefit, provided at no cost to teammates.
We empower our teammates to be leaders in safety by continuously evaluating and improving our performance, implementing best practices, monitoring regulatory changes, and fostering a culture of safety excellence in everything we do.
To ensure accountability, we set measurable safety goals and have enhanced our tracking systems to provide timely, user-friendly insights for field leaders. In 2025, we maintained a strong focus on improving driver safety scores. Thanks to the engagement of our field leaders and front-line teammates, we achieved measurable improvements in these scores.
Our commitment extends to comprehensive training programs, including annual recurrent safety training and targeted onboarding for new teammates, emphasizing both driver safety and general workplace safety.
The Rollins Safety Team collaborates closely with our brand teams to share best practices and lessons learned to reduce motor vehicle collision and injury-related risks. This ongoing process requires commitment, communication, and collaboration at every level of the organization. Our structure is designed to ensure effectiveness and alignment with the Company’s goals and objectives.
Community Involvement
We are a family of brands that has always upheld service – to our teammates, customers, and communities – as a cornerstone. While each of our diverse brands has their own culture of service, we are firmly united in our commitment to engaging with our local communities.
We offer teammates the opportunity to participate in various community outreach programs. Our brands work closely with their local communities to create an impact through outreach, volunteerism, and donations. Our overarching goal is to create a significant impact in local communities over an extended period of time. We believe everyone deserves a safe place to live, work, and play.
Since 1982, we have partnered with the United Way of Greater Atlanta through employee and company-matching funds, helping make Rollins a community leader for many years. We have a history of being a top corporate contributor and in 2025, we ranked 7th in the top 25 corporate contributors, as well as 4th in corporate contributors to United Way's Child Well-Being Mission Fund for 2025.
Along with personal contributions from teammates, the Company hosts rallies, golf tournaments, contests, and silent auctions to raise funds for the United Way of Greater Atlanta, as well as other local organizations it supports. Rollins has contributed approximately $1 million annually for each of the past five years in support of local community outreach.
Our Orkin brand demonstrates its culture of service through its OrkinServes program, which is designed to help take care of communities through employee volunteer opportunities. In 2022, OrkinServes introduced five new Division Advocates to serve as a voice for volunteering within their divisions across the United States and Canada. Similarly, our Northwest Exterminating brand developed the Northwest Good Deed Team ("GDT") in 2011 with the focus of being active and involved in the communities where they serve. Led by two full-time teammates, the GDT works with local organizations across six states and is supported by our team across Northwest.

Regulatory Considerations
Our business is subject to various local and national legislative and regulatory enactments including, but not limited to, environmental laws, antitrust laws, employment and benefit laws (including wage and hour laws, payroll taxes, anti-discrimination laws, pension laws and regulations, requirements related to enforcement of restrictive covenants, and ERISA), immigration laws, motor vehicle laws and regulations, human health and safety laws, consumer protection laws, securities laws including, but not limited to, SEC regulations, and federal, state and local laws and regulations governing worker safety and the pest and termite control industry. If we were to fail to comply with any of these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or damages, be involved in lawsuits, enforcement actions and other claims by third parties or governmental authorities, suffer losses to our reputation and our business or suffer the loss of licenses or penalties that may affect how the business is operated.
Consumer Protection, Privacy and Solicitation Matters
We are subject to international, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations designed to protect consumers generally, including laws governing lending, debt collection and consumer finance; consumer privacy and fraud; collection and use of consumer data; laws governing billing practices and contract renewals; telemarketing; door-to-door marketing; and other forms of solicitation. Specifically, rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule, along with state laws and other legal authorities, govern our telephone and texting sales practices. The CAN-SPAM Act regulates our email solicitations, and the Consumer Review Fairness Act regulates consumer opinions on social media regarding our products and services. The California Consumer Privacy Act, including amendments under the California Privacy Rights Act, and laws in other states provide consumers and sometimes employees the right to know what personal data businesses collect, how the data is used, and give them the right to access, delete and opt out of the sale of their personal information to third parties. We are subject to some of these states’ laws depending on the number of customers or amount of revenue in the specific state. Similarly, we are bound by foreign laws and regulations governing data protection in the United Kingdom (UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018; Canada (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act); Australia (Privacy Act and its Australian Privacy Principles); and Singapore (Personal Data Protection Act and Spam Control Act), when applicable.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
Specifically, our businesses are subject to various international, federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding environmental, health and safety matters. Among other things, these laws regulate the emission or discharge of materials into the environment, govern the use, storage, treatment, disposal, transportation and management of hazardous substances and wastes and protect the public and the health and safety of our employees. In addition, the use of certain pesticide products is also regulated by various federal, state, provincial and local environmental and public health agencies. These laws also impose liability for the costs of investigating and remediating, and damages resulting from, present and past releases of hazardous substances, including releases by prior owners or operators of sites we currently own or operate. Compliance with environmental, health and safety laws increases our operating costs, limits or restricts the services we provide and subjects us to the possibility of regulatory or private actions or proceedings. Penalties for noncompliance with these laws may include criminal sanctions or civil remedies, including, but not limited to, cancellation of licenses, fines, and other corrective actions. 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.
Franchise Matters
Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to various international, federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations governing franchise sales, marketing and licensing and franchise trade practices generally, including applicable rules and regulations of the Federal Trade Commission. These laws and regulations generally require disclosure of business information in connection with the sale and licensing of our franchises. Certain state regulations also affect our ability as a franchisor to revoke or refuse to renew a franchise. From time to time, we and one or more franchisees have been, and may in the future become, involved in a dispute regarding the franchise relationship, including payment of royalties or fees, location of branches, advertising, purchase of products by franchisees, non-competition covenants, compliance with our standards or franchise renewal criteria.

Employment Laws
We are subject to a myriad of complex laws and regulations in the various federal, state, provincial, regional, and local governments in the countries in which we operate related to employees, including, but not limited to wage and hour laws, anti-discrimination laws, immigration, pension benefit plans, requirements related to enforcement of restrictive covenants, ERISA laws, and retirement benefits. Any failure to comply with such applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, enforcement actions, class actions or legal proceedings.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including a patent, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. Our worldwide intellectual property portfolio is strengthened through innovation and brand recognition, and a comprehensive approach for protection and enforcement.
We protect and promote our intellectual property portfolio and take those actions we deem appropriate to enforce our intellectual property rights and to defend our rights both domestically and internationally. Although in the aggregate, our global portfolio of more than 450 trademarks is a valuable asset that is important to our operations, we believe that our competitive advantage is also largely attributable to the technical, marketing, and sales competence and capabilities of our teammates, rather than on any individual trademark; however, the loss of the Orkin trademark could be material to our business as a whole.

You are cautioned that the risk factors discussed below are not exhaustive.
Risks Related to our Business, Brand, Industry and Operations
We face risks regarding our ability to compete in the pest control industry in the future.
We operate in a highly competitive industry with fragmented markets and low barriers to entry. Our revenues and earnings are affected by changes in competitors’ services, markets, and prices and general economic issues. We compete with other large pest control companies, as well as numerous smaller pest control companies and do-it-yourself options, for a finite number of customers. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the market areas that we serve are quality and speed of service, customer proximity, customer satisfaction, brand awareness and reputation, terms of guarantees, technical proficiency and price. Although we believe that our customer experience and quality service are excellent, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to maintain our competitive position in the future.
We may not be able to identify, complete or successfully onboard acquisitions or guarantee that any acquisitions will achieve the anticipated financial benefits.
Acquisitions have been and may continue to be an important element of our business strategy. 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. Also, we cannot assure investors that we will receive necessary regulatory approvals, or that any acquisitions will achieve the anticipated financial benefits. Our inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefits from any acquisition
11
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 impairment as well as a negative impact on inorganic and/or organic growth.
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 business depends on our strong brands, and failing to maintain and enhance our brands and develop a positive client reputation and experience could hurt our ability to retain and expand our base of customers.
Our strong brands, such as Orkin, HomeTeam Pest Defense, Clark Pest Control, Northwest Exterminating, Fox Pest Control, 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. Maintaining and enhancing our brands increases our ability to enter new markets and launch new and innovative services that better serve the needs of our customers. Our brands may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including, among others, reputational issues, product/technical failures, and customer experience. We continue to develop strategies and innovative tools to gain a deeper understanding of customer acquisition and retention in order to more effectively expand and retain our customer base. Maintaining and enhancing our brands will depend largely on our brands’ ability to remain service leaders and continue to provide high-quality pest control services that are truly beneficial and play a meaningful role in people’s lives.
Labor shortages, our ability to attract and retain skilled workers, and increased labor costs may impair growth potential and profitability.
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 workers. Our ability to expand our operations is in part impacted by our ability to increase our labor force. The demand for skilled employees is high, and the supply is limited. Ongoing labor shortages could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate at full capacity or lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees. A significant increase in the wages paid and benefits offered by competing employers could also result in a reduction in our labor force, increases in our labor costs, or both. Prolonged labor shortages, increased turnover or labor inflation could diminish our profitability and impair our growth potential.
In addition, decisions and rules by the National Labor Relations Board, including “expedited elections” and restrictions on appeals, has and could continue to lead to increased organizing activities at our brands. If these labor organizing activities are successful, it could further increase labor costs, decrease operating efficiency and productivity in the future, or otherwise disrupt or negatively impact our operations which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
We may experience difficulties integrating, streamlining and optimizing our information technology (“IT”) systems and processes.
We have invested in, and expect to continue to invest in, new systems and technology to implement new or improve existing business capabilities and streamline business processes, financial reporting, and acquisition integration. Many of these efforts impact customers, suppliers, employees, and others, and any disruption or failure could adversely affect our business and operations. We may experience significant delays, increased costs, and other difficulties, which could adversely affect our ability to process work orders, send invoices, track, and collect payments, fulfill contractual obligations, or otherwise operate our business in compliance with laws. In addition, our efforts to centralize various business processes within our organization in connection with the implementations may disrupt operations. We may also experience difficulties, costs or delays in migrating acquired businesses to our systems, processes, and technologies.
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,
12
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.
Distributor or supply chain issues may result in product shortages or disruptions to our business.
We have a complex global network of distributors and suppliers that has expanded to meet increased customer demand and may, in the future, further evolve in response to market conditions. Although the majority of the products we use are generally available from multiple sources, and alternatives have been generally available in the event of disruption in the past, we could experience material disruptions in production, transportation, labor disputes, and other supply chain issues on specific products, which could result in out-of-stock conditions, and our results of operations and relationships with customers could be adversely affected (a) if new or existing distributors or suppliers are unable to meet any standards that we set or that are set by government or industry regulations or customers, (b) if we are unable to contract with distributors or suppliers at the quantity, quality and price levels needed for our business, or (c) if any of our key distributors or suppliers has shipping disruptions or becomes insolvent, ceases or significantly reduces its operations or experiences financial distress.
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, 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.
Climate change and unfavorable weather conditions could adversely impact our financial results.
Our operations are directly impacted by the weather conditions worldwide, including catastrophic events, natural disasters and potential impacts from climate change. Our business is also affected by extreme weather such as hurricanes, wildfires, snow storms, and other storms which can impact our ability to operate as well as drought and cold weather which can greatly reduce the pest population for extended periods. Climate change continues to receive increasing global attention. 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
13
which could adversely impact our costs and business operations. Our business is also affected by seasonality associated with our pest and termite control services. The decrease in pest presence and activity in the fall and winter has historically resulted in a decrease in the revenue and income of our pest and termite control operations during such periods.
We may not successfully execute our business strategies, including achieving our growth objectives.
We may not be able to fully implement our business strategies or realize, in whole or in part within the expected time frames, the anticipated benefits of various growth or other initiatives. Our ability to implement our business strategy may be adversely affected by factors that we cannot foresee currently, such as unanticipated costs and expenses, global health crises, technological change, recession and economic slowdown, the level of interest rates, foreign exchange risks, our inability to effectively manage and implement change, failure to onboard acquisitions, or a decline in the effectiveness of our marketing (including digital marketing) efforts.
In addition, we will incur certain costs to achieve efficiency improvements, systems implementations, and growth in our business, and we may not meet anticipated implementation timetables or stay within budgeted costs. As these initiatives are implemented, we may not fully achieve the desired results, including but not limited to, expected cost savings or growth rates, and these initiatives may adversely impact customer retention or our operations. Also, our business strategies may change in light of our ability to implement new business initiatives, competitive pressures, economic uncertainties or developments or other factors.
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.
We currently conduct business in international markets, with approximately 7% of our 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 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 United States and other countries or regions in which we currently operate or may operate in the future. Risks inherent in our existing and future international operations also include, among others, the costs and difficulties of managing international operations, difficulties in identifying and gaining access to local distributors and suppliers, suffering possible adverse tax consequences from changes in tax laws or the unfavorable resolution of tax assessments or audits, maintaining product quality and greater difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
Our franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors could take actions that could harm our business.
Our franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors are contractually obligated to operate their businesses in accordance with the standards set forth in our agreements with them and applicable laws and regulations. Each of our brands that are franchised also provides training and support to franchisees. However, franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors are independent third parties that we do not control, and who own, operate and oversee the daily operations of their respective businesses, and the ultimate success of any business operation rests with the business owner. If franchisees do not successfully operate their businesses in a manner consistent with required standards, royalty payments owed to us will be adversely affected and our brands’ image and reputation could be harmed. Similarly, if franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors do not successfully operate their businesses in a manner consistent with required laws, standards and regulations, we could be subject to claims from regulators or legal claims for the actions or omissions of such third-party franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors. In addition, our relationship with our franchisees, subcontractors, and vendors could become strained (including resulting in litigation) as we impose new standards or assert more rigorous enforcement practices of the existing required standards.
14
Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Privacy Compliance and Business Disruptions
The Company, our brands, third-party business partners and service providers have been subject to cybersecurity incidents in the past and could be the targets of future attacks that could result in disruption to our business operations, economic and reputational damage, and possible fines, penalties and private litigation. 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 AI.
Our internal IT systems contain certain personal, financial, health, or other protected and confidential information that is entrusted to us by our customers and employees. Our IT systems also contain our and our brands’ proprietary and other confidential information related to our business, such as business plans, customer lists, pricing, and service development initiatives. From time to time, we integrate new IT systems due to organic growth and acquisitions. In addition, we grant third-party business partners and service providers access to confidential information in order to facilitate business operations and administer employee benefits. Employees, third-party business partners, and service providers can knowingly or unknowingly disseminate such information or serve as an entry point for bad actors to access such information.
The Company has assigned responsibility for Board oversight of cybersecurity risk to the Audit Committee, which monitors the cybersecurity risk management and cyber control functions, including external security audits, and receives periodic updates from the CISO and other experienced senior management, outside legal counsel, and cybersecurity insurance carriers knowledgeable about assessing and managing cyber risks, including, as appropriate, updates on the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cyber incidents.
We continue to evaluate and modify our systems and protocols for data security compliance purposes, and such standards may change from time to time. We have processes in place to oversee and identify cybersecurity risks and vulnerability related to certain third-party business partners, vendors, and service providers. We have processes to address risks of a key service provider experiencing a significant cybersecurity incident that renders their services unavailable, but those processes may not cover all business losses. Activities by bad actors, changes in computer and software capabilities and encryption technology, new tools and discoveries, AI, cloud applications, changes in multi-jurisdictional regulations, and other events or developments may result in a compromise or breach of our systems. Any compromises, breaches, application errors or human mistakes related to our systems or failures to comply with applicable standards could not only disrupt our financial operations, including our customers’ ability to pay for our services and products by credit card or their willingness to purchase our services and products, but could also result in violations of applicable laws, regulations, orders, industry standards or agreements and subject us to costs, penalties and liabilities. A breach of data security or failure to comply with rigorous multi-jurisdictional consumer privacy requirements could expose us to customer litigation, regulatory actions and costs related to the reporting and handling of such a violation or breach. Furthermore, while we maintain cybersecurity insurance, our insurance may not cover all liabilities incurred due to a security breach or incident.
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.
Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Risk Management Matters
In the countries in which we operate, our business is subject to various federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations pertaining to environmental, public health and safety matters, including those related to the pest control industry, and any noncompliance with, changes to, or increased enforcement of such laws, could significantly impact our business.
Our business is subject to various federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations pertaining to environmental, public health and safety matters, including those related to the pest control industry. Among other things, these laws also govern the use, storage, treatment, disposal, transportation and management of certain pesticides and hazardous substances and waste and regulate the emission or discharge of materials into the environment. In addition, the use of certain pesticide products is also regulated by various federal, state, provincial and local environmental and public health agencies. Penalties for noncompliance with these laws may include criminal sanctions or civil remedies, including, but not limited to, cancellation of licenses, fines, and other corrective actions. Noncompliance with, changes in, expanded enforcement of, or
15
adoption of new laws and regulations governing hazardous waste disposal and other environmental matters, could result in operational changes and increased costs.
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.
We are subject to regulation in the countries in which we operate related to employment laws, and noncompliance could lead to fines or legal proceedings.
We are subject to a myriad of complex laws and regulations in the various federal, state, provincial, regional, and local governments in the countries in which we operate related to employees, including, but not limited to wage and hour laws, anti-discrimination laws, immigration, pension benefit plans, ERISA laws, OSHA regulations, and retirement benefits. Any failure to comply with such applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, enforcement actions, class actions or legal proceedings.
New or proposed regulations regarding climate change could have uncertain impacts on our business.
Climate change has been the subject of increased focus by various governmental authorities and regulators around the world. For example, the State of California has enacted legislation that will require large U.S. companies doing business in California to make broad-based climate-related disclosures. We are assessing our obligations under these proposed and enacted rules in the United States and around the world and expect that compliance could require substantial effort in the future. Compliance with any new or more stringent laws or requirements, or stricter interpretations of existing laws, could require additional expenditures by us or our suppliers. We cannot predict how the proposed rules, if finalized, or any future legislation or regulations pertaining to climate change, will ultimately affect our business.
Termite claims and lawsuits related thereto could increase our legal expenses.
From time to time, we are subject to claims brought by our customers for termite protection services, generally based on alleged termite damage to the structure(s) covered by our contracts with those customers. In some instances of these claims, the customer may initiate litigation or arbitration proceedings against us or one of our brands.
Our safety and risk management programs may not have the intended effect of reducing our liability for employee-work related injuries, third party-liability claims or property loss.
Our auto or other safety management system and performance measures are critical to our reputation and results of operation. We attempt to mitigate risks relating to employee work-related injuries, automobile collision, third-party liability, or property loss through the implementation of company-wide safety management programs designed to focus on prevention and decrease the occurrence of incidents or events that may occur. Such incidents could also have the effect of destabilizing or increasing our insurance costs and financial reserves. Incidents involving injury or property loss may be caused by multiple potential factors, a significant number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, there is no guarantee that our safety and risk management and safety programs will have the desired effect of avoiding or controlling all potential expenses and liability exposure.
Additionally, we retain certain risks related to general liability, workers’ compensation, and auto liability. 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.
Further, some of our commercial customers require that we meet certain safety criteria to be eligible to provide service and bid for contracts, and many contracts provide for automatic termination or forfeiture of some or all of our contract fees or profit in the event we fail to meet certain measures. Accordingly, if we fail to maintain adequate safety standards, we could experience reduced profitability or the loss of projects or clients.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures and our accruals and reserves for uninsured claims are variable.
16
We are exposed to liabilities that are unique to our business and the services we provide. We maintain commercial liability insurance that extends to products liability. In addition, we also maintain other insurance and other traditional risk transfer tools to respond to certain types of liabilities and risks. However, such tools are subject to terms such as deductibles, retentions, limits and policy exclusions, commercial availability and supply of coverage as well as risk of denial of coverage, default or insolvency. If we experience unexpected or uncovered losses, or if any of our insurance policies are terminated for any reason or are not effective in mitigating our risks, we may incur losses that are not covered or that exceed our coverage limits. In addition, there can be no assurance that the types or levels of coverage maintained are adequate to cover these potential significant and catastrophic risks. Further, we may not be able to continue to maintain our existing insurance coverage or obtain comparable or additional insurance coverage at a reasonable cost in the event a significant product or service claim arises.
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.
We have been and may in the future be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
In the normal course of business, we have been and may in the future be involved in various claims, contractual disputes, inquiries, investigations, arbitration and litigation, including (1) claims that our acts, omissions, services or vehicles caused damage or injury, (2) claims that our pest control, termite and/or ancillary services did not achieve the desired results, (3) claims related to acquisitions, (4) claims related to violations of antitrust laws or consumer protection laws, (4) claims related to allegations by federal, state or local authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice, of violations of regulations or statutes, (5) claims related to federal securities laws, (6) claims related to employment or wage and hour violations, including class actions under the California Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA"), (7) claims related to environmental matters, and (8) claims related to additional laws and regulations. These claims, proceedings or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Risks Related to Certain Intellectual Property Rights
Our brand recognition or reputation could be impacted if we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to our business.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part on our rights to service marks, trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property rights we own or license. Although we have sought to register or protect many of our marks either in the United States or in the countries in which they are or may be used, we have not sought to protect our marks in every country. Furthermore, because of the differences in foreign trademark, patent and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws, we may not receive the same protection in other countries as we would in the United States. If we are unable to protect our proprietary information and brand names, we could suffer a material adverse effect to our reputation and business. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary information, or to defend against claims by third parties that our products, services or activities infringe their intellectual property rights.
Risks Related to Public Health Crises
The effects of a pandemic or other major public health concern, could materially impact our business.
The impact of a pandemic or other major public health concerns, including changes in consumer behavior and discretionary spending, market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, could create significant volatility in the global economy. Additionally, government or regulatory responses to pandemics or other public health concerns, such as mandatory lockdowns, vaccine mandates or other restrictions on operations, could negatively impact our business.
The ultimate impact of a pandemic or other major public health concern also depends on events beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of such pandemics and other major public health concerns, and related remedial or containment measures taken by parties other than us to respond to them.
We are unable to completely predict the full impact that a pandemic, or other major public health concern will have on our business due to numerous uncertainties. In addition, our compliance with remedial or containment measures could impact
17
our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations, as well as that of our customers and suppliers, for an indefinite period of time. Furthermore, labor force availability may be impaired due to exposure, reluctance to comply with governmental, regulatory or contractual mandates, or other restrictions, which could negatively affect our operating costs and profitability or negatively impact our ability to provide quality services.
Risks Related to Market Conditions and External Factors
Adverse economic conditions, including inflation and restrictions in customer discretionary expenditures, increases in interest rates or other disruptions in credit or financial markets, geopolitical developments, increases in fuel prices, raw material costs, or other operating costs could materially adversely affect our business.
Economic downturns may adversely affect our commercial customers, including food service, hospitality and food processing industries whose business levels are particularly sensitive to adverse economies. For example, we may lose commercial customers and related revenues because of consolidation or cessation of commercial businesses or because these businesses switch to a lower cost provider. Pest and termite services represent discretionary expenditures to many of our residential customers. If consumers restrict their discretionary expenditures, due to inflation or other economic hardships, we may suffer a decline in revenues from our residential service lines. Disruptions in credit or financial markets could make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase the cost of obtaining, financing in the future. Increases in interest rates may cause a reduction in new home construction or real estate transactions, which could result in a decrease in revenue. We may be impacted by geopolitical tensions and conflicts, including changes to trade policies and regulations, such as tariffs. In addition, there can be no assurances that fuel prices, raw material costs, or other operating costs, all of which may be subject to inflationary pressures, will not materially increase in future years.
Risks Related to our Capital and Ownership Structure
A group that includes members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management has a significant ownership interest; public stockholders may have no effective voice in the Company’s management.
The Company has a significant shareholder group, which includes the Company’s Executive Chairman Emeritus of the Board, Gary W. Rollins; Board member, Pamela R. Rollins; director nominee, Timothy C. Rollins; and certain persons acting as a group with them (the “Significant Shareholder”) which as of December 31, 2025, beneficially held (in the aggregate, including direct and indirect ownership) approximately 38 percent of our common stock. As a result, the Significant Shareholder has significant influence over our operations, including the election of directors, approval of substantial corporate transactions such as acquisitions, and approval of matters requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control of the Company at a premium.
The Significant Shareholder has a substantial ownership interest, and the availability of the Company’s common stock to the investing public may be limited.
The availability of Rollins’ common stock to the investing public is limited to those shares not held by the Significant Shareholder, which could negatively impact Rollins’ stock trading prices and affect the ability of minority stockholders to sell their shares. Future sales or other transactions entered into by the Significant Shareholder with respect to all or a portion of their shares or otherwise could also negatively affect the trading price of, or cause volatility in the market for, our common stock.
The Significant Shareholder could take various actions or engage in certain transactions that could negatively impact our common stock price or cause volatility in the market for our common stock.
The Significant Shareholder may from time to time and at any time dispose or cause to be disposed, such equity or other securities or instruments, in any amount that the Significant Shareholder may determine in its sole discretion, through registered offerings, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or acquire or cause to be acquired, additional equity or other instruments of the Company or derivative instruments the value of which is linked to Company securities. In addition, depending upon a variety of factors, the Significant Shareholder may at any time engage in discussions with the Company and its affiliates, and other persons, including retained outside advisers, concerning the Company’s business, management, strategic alternatives and direction, and in its sole discretion, consider, formulate and implement various plans or proposals intended to enhance the value of its investment in the Company, including, among other things, proposing or effecting any matter that would constitute or result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of
18
additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any subsidiary thereof; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any subsidiary thereof; (iv) a change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) other material changes in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto, or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (ix) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event the Significant Shareholder was to engage in any of the actions enumerated above, our common stock price could be negatively impacted or such actions could cause volatility in the market for our common stock.
Certain provisions in Rollins, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may inhibit a takeover of the Company.
Rollins, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other documents contain provisions including advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals. These provisions may make a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by the Company’s Board of Directors more difficult or expensive.
Item 1.B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1.C Cybersecurity
The Company has assigned responsibility for Board oversight of cybersecurity risk to the Audit Committee, which monitors the cybersecurity risk management and cyber control functions, including external security audits, and receives periodic updates from experienced senior management, including the CISO, who are knowledgeable about assessing and managing cyber risks, including, as appropriate, providing updates on the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cyber incidents.
Our privacy compliance and digital risk management initiatives focus on the threats and risks to enterprise information and the underlying IT systems processing such information as part of the implementation of business processes. We have also
19
implemented policies and procedures for the assessment, identification, and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats, including internal training, system controls, and monitoring and audit processes to protect the Company from internal and external vulnerabilities and to comply with consumer privacy laws in the areas in which we operate. Further, we limit retention of certain data, encrypt certain data and otherwise protect information to comply with consumer privacy laws in the areas in which we operate. The Company also has a cross-functional group of representatives from several departments that comprise the Privacy Committee, which meets and discusses information at least quarterly related to cybersecurity and privacy compliance at the Company, including training, policies, and trends. We also rely on, among other things, commercially available third parties including vendors, cybersecurity protection systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of protected information and data. The systems currently used for transmission and approval of payment card transactions, and the technology utilized in payment cards themselves, all of which can put payment card data at risk, meet standards set by the payment card industry.
Annually the Company conducts an Enterprise Risk Assessment during which management identifies and quantifies risks, including cybersecurity risks, which could enhance or impede the Company’s ability to achieve current or future strategic objectives. The conclusions of the annual Enterprise Risk Assessment are shared with the Audit Committee and the full Board. The CISO also reviews with the Audit Committee the strategy, priorities, and goals of the cybersecurity program.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company’s administrative headquarters are owned by the Company, and are located at 2170 Piedmont Road, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30324. The Company owns or leases over 850 branch offices and operating facilities used in its business as well as the Rollins Training Center located in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Pacific Division Administration and Training Center in Riverside, California. None of the branch offices, individually considered, represents a materially important physical property of the Company. The facilities are suitable and adequate to meet the current and reasonably anticipated future needs of the Company.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
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, inquiries, investigations, litigation, 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 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 and investigations 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("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 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.
20
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.
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. In January 2023, the Company received a notice of alleged violations and information requests from local governmental authorities in California for our Orkin and Clark Pest Control operations, relating to compliance with environmental and other regulations governing the management of certain waste streams and pesticide disposal. The investigation was part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries. 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.
Management does not believe that any pending or 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.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market Information, Holders, and Dividends
The common stock of the Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ROL.
As of January 31, 2026, there were 7,410 holders of record of the Company’s common stock. However, a large number of our shareholders hold their shares in “street name” in brokerage accounts and, therefore, do not appear on the shareholder list maintained by our transfer agent.
Dividends will be payable only when, and if, declared by our Board and will be subject to our ongoing ability to generate sufficient income and free cash flow, any future capital needs and other contingencies. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to the common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company did not repurchase shares on the open market during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
The following table presents the Company's share repurchase activity for the period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

(2)As further described in Note 13, Stockholders' Equity, and Note 16, Related Party Transactions, and announced on November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with certain selling shareholders and an underwriter relating to the sale by certain selling shareholders of a number of shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $57.50 per share (the "2025 Offering"). The Company repurchased 3,478,260 shares of its common stock concurrently with the 2025 Offering for approximately $200.0 million at the same per share price paid by the underwriter, or $56.93 per share. This repurchase was made in connection with a separate authorization approved by the Company's Board of Directors and did not reduce the remaining authorization of the share repurchase plan adopted in 2012.
(3)The Company has a share repurchase plan, adopted in 2012, to repurchase up to 16.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The repurchase plan has no expiration date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a remaining authorization to repurchase 11.4 million shares of the Company's common stock under this program.

Presentation
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this document. Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons of 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following discussion (as well as other discussions in this document) contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and "Risk Factors" for a discussion of uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.
The Company
Rollins, Inc. (“Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is an international services company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia that provides pest and termite control services to both residential and commercial customers through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and independent franchises in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Asia with international franchises in Canada, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Our pest and termite control services are performed pursuant to terms of contracts that specify the pricing arrangement with the customer. The Company operates as one reportable segment and the results of operations and its financial condition are not reliant upon any single customer.
Strategic Update
We are focused on continuous improvement throughout the business. During 2025, we continued to make strides in all four pillars of our strategic objectives: 1) people first 2) customer loyalty 3) growth mindset and 4) operational efficiency.
People First
We continue to focus on the development of our people. We continued to make strategic improvements to both our support functions, as well as the customer-facing side of our business, by hiring and onboarding the right people into the right roles. We introduced The Co-Lab, where our people managers develop servant leadership skills to help them develop themselves, their people and ultimately our business. We remain committed to developing exceptional talent and investing in our teams.
Customer Loyalty
We remain committed to providing our customers with the best customer experience. Effective sales and service staffing levels helped us to capitalize on continued demand and deliver solid results for the year, with organic revenues* growing by 6.9% compared to 2024.
Growth Mindset
2025 marked another record year in terms of revenues, totaling approximately $3.8 billion, an increase of 11.0% over 2024, with acquisition revenues* contributing 4.1% growth in the year. We completed 26 transactions in 2025, including 22 acquisitions and 4 franchise buybacks, driving inorganic growth at our brands both domestically and internationally.
Operational Efficiency
26
We saw healthy margins in 2025, with gross margin improving 10 basis points to 52.8% in 2025 compared to 52.7% in 2024. Operating margin was 19.3% of revenue, a decrease of 10 basis points as compared to 2024 and adjusted operating margin* was 20.0%, an increase of 10 basis points over the prior year. Our 2025 operating margin reflects weaker volumes in the fourth quarter, but our ongoing modernization efforts position us to deliver an improving margin profile as we look to 2026.
*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.
Impact of Economic Trends
The continued disruption in economic markets due to inflation, changing interest rates, tariffs, trade disputes, business interruptions due to natural disasters and changes in weather patterns, employee shortages, and supply chain issues, all pose challenges which may adversely affect our future performance. The Company continues to execute various strategies previously implemented to help mitigate the impact of these economic disruptors. However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate whether these strategies will help mitigate the impact of these economic disruptors in the future.
The Company’s 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 consolidated financial statements. The Company considered the impact of economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the year have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but are complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding these macro economic trends. 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.
The extent to which changing interest rates, inflation and other economic trends will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations is uncertain. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the full future impacts of these matters at this time.

Revenues
The following presents a summary of revenues by service offering:
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $3.8 billion, an increase of $372.3 million, or 11.0%, from 2024 revenues of $3.4 billion. The increase in revenues was largely driven by demand from our customers that remained strong throughout the year across all major service offerings. Comparing 2025 to 2024, organic revenue* growth was 6.9% with acquisitions adding 4.1% during the year. Residential pest control revenue increased approximately 10%, commercial pest control revenue increased approximately 11% and termite and ancillary services grew approximately 14% including both organic and acquisition-related growth in each area. Organic revenue* growth was strong across our service offerings, growing approximately 5% in residential, approximately 8% in commercial, and approximately 10% in termite and ancillary activity. The Company’s foreign operations accounted for approximately 7% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Revenue growth was healthy throughout the year, but we did see weaker volumes in the fourth quarter due to weakness in one-time services associated with less favorable weather conditions.
*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.
Gross Profit (exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.0 billion, an increase of $198.5 million, or 11.1%, compared to $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Gross margin improved 10 basis points to 52.8% in 2025 compared to 52.7% in 2024. We saw leverage across a number of cost categories including 30 basis points in materials and supplies and 20 basis points in insurance and claims, partially offset by 30 basis points of higher fleet costs, while employee expenses were flat as a percentage of revenue.
Sales, General and Administrative
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $118.2 million, or 11.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 10 basis points to 30.1% in 2025 compared to 30.0% in 2024. Lower volumes negatively impacted leverage across several categories, partially offset by lower insurance and claims costs.
29
Depreciation and Amortization
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, depreciation and amortization increased $11.5 million, or 10.2%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, most notably from the acquisition of Saela.
Operating Income
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, operating income increased $68.8 million or 10.5% compared to the prior year.
As a percentage of revenue, operating income decreased to 19.3% from 19.4% in the prior year. Operating margin decreased mostly due to higher fleet costs and higher selling and marketing costs. This was partially offset by lower insurance and claims costs, lower materials and supplies costs, and lower administrative costs.
Interest Expense, Net
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense, net increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year, due to the increase in the average debt balance associated primarily with the issuance of our 2035 Senior Notes, as well as borrowings under our commercial paper program. This was partially offset by a lower average effective interest rate on our borrowings. We expect interest expense to be approximately $30 million in 2026 associated with borrowings under our 2035 Senior Notes and commercial paper program.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, other (income) expense, net increased $2.7 million primarily due to higher gains on sales of non-operational assets.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.9% in 2025 compared to 26.0% in 2024. The reduced rate is primarily due to the purchase of transferable federal income tax credits in 2025. We expect to realize an effective tax rate of 24.5% to 25% in 2026.
General Commentary
Our team delivered solid results in 2025, producing double-digit revenue, EPS, and operating cash flow growth for the full year. As we look to 2026, demand for our services is solid and our pipeline for acquisitions is robust. We continued to invest meaningfully in our business throughout 2025 and we are well-positioned as we begin 2026.
While we had solid full year results, our fourth quarter results were impacted by slower growth in certain parts of our business and a negative impact from weather. Our 2025 operating margin reflects weaker volumes in the fourth quarter, but our ongoing modernization efforts position us to deliver an improving margin profile as we look to 2026. We continue to execute a balanced capital allocation program enabled by compounding operating cash flow and a strong balance sheet.
2026 Outlook
For 2026, the Company anticipates:
•The underlying health of core pest control markets, as well as Rollins’ ongoing commitment to operational execution, should support another year of strong organic revenue growth*, further complemented by a strategic and disciplined approach to acquisitions.
•A focus on ongoing modernization efforts, a culture of continuous improvement and pricing should support an improving margin profile.
•Compounding operating cash flow and a strong balance sheet should continue to enable a balanced capital allocation strategy.
30
The Company expects to report 7% to 8% organic revenue* growth in 2026. While we may see a slower start to the year in the first quarter, the strength of our recurring revenue and ancillary services gives us confidence in our ability to meet our financial outlook for 2026.
Our outlook reflects current expectations and is subject to significant uncertainty, including factors described under "Risk Factors," many of which are outside the Company's control.
*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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of operations, financial position, or statements of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.
These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenues, net income, earnings per share or other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes all of these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to provide investors with information about current trends in, and period-over-period comparisons of, the Company's results of operations. An analysis of any non-GAAP financial measure should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company has used the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-K:
Organic revenues
Organic revenues are calculated as revenues less the revenues from acquisitions completed within the prior 12 months and excluding the revenues from divested businesses. Acquisition revenues are based on the trailing 12-month revenue of our acquired entities. Management uses organic revenues, and organic revenues by type to compare revenues over various periods excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin
Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are calculated by adding back to operating income those expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisitions of Fox Pest Control and Saela Pest Control. Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by revenues. Management uses adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin as measures of operating performance because these measures allow the Company to compare performance consistently over various periods.
Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are calculated by adding back to the GAAP measures amortization of intangible assets and adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisitions of Fox Pest Control and Saela Pest Control, excluding gains and losses on the sale of non-operational assets and gains on the sale of businesses, and by further subtracting the tax impact of those expenses, gains, or losses. Management uses adjusted net income and adjusted EPS as measures of operating performance because these measures allow the Company to compare performance consistently over various periods.
EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, incremental EBITDA margin and adjusted incremental EBITDA margin
EBITDA is calculated by adding back to net income depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and provision for income taxes. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated by further adding back those expenses associated with the adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisitions of Fox Pest Control and Saela Pest Control, and excluding gains and losses on the sale of non-operational assets and gains on the sale of businesses. Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as measures of operating performance because these measures allow the Company to compare performance consistently over various periods. Incremental EBITDA margin is calculated as the change in EBITDA divided by the change in revenue. Management uses incremental EBITDA margin as a measure of
31
operating performance because this measure allows the Company to compare performance consistently over various periods. Adjusted incremental EBITDA margin is calculated as the change in adjusted EBITDA divided by the change in revenue. Management uses adjusted incremental EBITDA margin as a measure of operating performance because this measure allows the Company to compare performance consistently over various periods.
Free cash flow, free cash flow conversion, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow conversion
Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities. Management uses free cash flow to demonstrate the Company’s ability to maintain its asset base and generate future cash flows from operations. Free cash flow conversion is calculated as free cash flow divided by net income. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated by adding back to cash provided by operating activities the impact of certain delayed income tax payments. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is calculated as adjusted free cash flow divided by net income.
Management uses free cash flow conversion and adjusted free cash flow conversion to demonstrate how much net income is converted into cash. Management believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are important financial measures for use in evaluating the Company’s liquidity. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s definition of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, management believes it is important to view free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow as measures that provide supplemental information to our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Adjusted sales, general and administrative ("SG&A")
Adjusted SG&A is calculated by removing the adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisitions of Fox Pest Control and Saela Pest Control. Management uses adjusted SG&A to compare SG&A expenses consistently over various periods.
Leverage ratio
Leverage ratio, a financial valuation measure, is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDAR. Adjusted net debt is calculated by adding short-term debt and operating lease liabilities to total long-term debt less a cash adjustment of 90% of total consolidated cash. Adjusted EBITDAR is calculated by adding back to net income depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision for income taxes, operating lease cost, and stock-based compensation expense. Management uses leverage ratio as an assessment of overall liquidity, financial flexibility, and leverage.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company’s $100.0 million of total cash at December 31, 2025 is held at various banking institutions. Approximately $50.5 million is held in cash by foreign subsidiaries and the remaining $49.5 million is held at domestic banks and also includes cash-in-transit.
We intend to continue to grow the business in the international markets where we have a presence. As it relates to our unremitted earnings in foreign jurisdictions, we assert that foreign cash earnings in excess of working capital and cash needed for strategic investments and acquisitions are not intended to be indefinitely reinvested offshore.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities, access to debt financing based on our creditworthiness, our $1 billion commercial paper program which is backstopped by our Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our current operations and obligations and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future.
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 Section 4(a)(2) and 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 $6.1 million for debt issuance costs. The interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 24 and 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 well as for general corporate purposes.
On May 6, 2025, we commenced an offer to exchange $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes privately placed in February 2025 (“Initial Notes”) for the $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Exchange Notes”). Approximately 99.6% of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, and were exchanged for Exchange Notes as of June 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will have no transfer restrictions or registration rights.
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. Borrowings under this program are generally outstanding for 30 days or less. The net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are used for various purposes, including general corporate purposes and funding for acquisitions. As of December 31, 2025, there were $114.4 million outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
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”).
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.
As of December 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, which were repaid with the proceeds from the 2035 Senior Notes.
36
Letters of Credit
The Company maintained $82.4 million in letters of credit as of December 31, 2025 and $72.0 million as of December 31, 2024. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance carriers, 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.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities is the principal source of cash generation for our businesses. The most significant source of cash in our cash flow from operations is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from services sold. The most significant operating use of cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, and tax authorities. The Company’s operating activities generated net cash of $678.1 million and $607.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $70.5 million, or 11.6%, increase was driven primarily by strong operating results and the timing of cash receipts and cash payments to and from customers, vendors, employees, and tax and regulatory authorities.
The Company deferred its fourth quarter 2024 estimated federal income tax payment to the second quarter of 2025 under the federal Hurricane Helene disaster relief. In 2025 we also purchased federal income tax credits for use on our 2024 and 2025 federal income tax returns.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Company’s investing activities used cash of $326.7 million and $176.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash paid for acquisitions totaled $309.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $157.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the acquisition of Saela Pest Control in 2025. The Company invested $28.1 million in capital expenditures during the year, offset by $7.5 million in cash proceeds from the sale of assets, compared with $27.6 million of capital expenditures and $4.1 million in cash proceeds from asset sales in 2024. The Company’s investing activities were funded primarily through existing cash balances, operating cash flows, and proceeds from borrowings, including our commercial paper program.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $343.6 million and $440.7 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A total of $327.9 million was paid in cash dividends ($0.68 per share) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $298.0 million in cash dividends paid ($0.62 per share) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $492.2 million and paid $6.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2035 Senior Notes. Those proceeds were used primarily to repay borrowings under the credit agreement. Net proceeds from borrowings during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $209.6 million, compared to net repayments of $96.0 million during 2024.
37
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $14.2 million of contingent consideration, compared to $39.8 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. In addition, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed the repurchase of 3,478,260 of the shares of common stock for approximately $200.0 million in conjunction with the transaction described below.
On November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “2025 Underwriting Agreement”) with LOR, Inc. and Rollins Holding Company, Inc. (together, the “Selling Stockholders”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the sale by the Selling Stockholders of 17,391,305 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $57.50 per share (the “2025 Offering”). In connection with the 2025 Offering, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 2,608,695 shares of Common Stock (the “2025 Optional Shares”). The 2025 Offering, including the sale of the 2025 Optional Shares, closed on November 12, 2025. The Company did not sell any shares in the 2025 Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the 2025 Offering. In addition, the Company completed the repurchase of 3,478,260 of the shares of Common Stock offered in the 2025 Offering for approximately $200 million at the same per share price paid by the Underwriter to the Selling Stockholders in the 2025 Offering.
The Company also withheld $16.2 million and $11.6 million of common stock for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in connection with tax withholding obligations of its employees upon vesting of such employees’ equity awards.
Share Repurchase Program
In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. After adjustments for stock splits, the total authorized shares under the share repurchase plan is 16.9 million shares. As of December 31, 2025, we have a remaining authorization of 11.4 million shares under the share repurchase program. The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market during 2025 or 2024.
Active Shelf Registration
The Form S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC registered $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, rights, purchase contracts and units for future issuance by the Company. The Company may offer and sell some or all of such securities from time to time or through underwriters, brokers or dealers, directly to one or more other purchasers, through a block trade, through agents on a best-efforts basis, through a combination of any of the above methods of sale or through other types of transactions described in the Form S-3. The Company has not sold any such securities in a primary offering as of the date of this Form 10-K. Management is continually evaluating the Company's financial structure and the potential need or desirability of raising additional liquidity through the sale of debt or equity securities. The Form S-3 will expire in June 2026.
Litigation
For discussion on the Company’s legal contingencies, see Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying financial statements, and Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings.
Contractual Commitments
We have material cash requirements for known contractual obligations and commitments in the form of operating leases and debt obligations. We expect to fund these obligations primarily through cash generated from our operations. Refer to Note 6, Leases and Note 10, Debt to the accompanying financial statements for further details.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company views critical accounting estimates to be those that are very important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult or complex relate to the need for management to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe our critical accounting estimate to be as follows:
Accrued Insurance—The Company retains, up to specified limits, certain risks related to U.S. general liability, workers’ compensation and auto liability. Risks are managed through either high deductible insurance or, for Clark Pest Control
38
only, a non-affiliated group captive insurance member arrangement. 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 group captive is subject to a third-party actuarial study retained by the captive manager, independent from the Company. For the high deductible insurance program, 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.
The Company continues to be proactive in safety and risk management to develop and maintain ongoing programs to reduce and prevent incidents and claims. Initiatives that have been implemented include required pre-employment screening and ongoing motor vehicle record review for all drivers, post-offer physicals for new employees, pre-hire, random and post incident drug testing, driver training and post-injury nurse triage for work-related injuries.
Recent Accounting Guidance and Other Policies and Estimates
See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying financial statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for further discussion.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and on its commercial paper program. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $114.4 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings. See Note 10, Debt to the accompanying financial statements for further details regarding debt. We do not believe that a one percent increase in interest rates, for example, would have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also exposed to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company believes that this foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material impact upon the Company’s results of operations going forward.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Stockholders of Rollins, Inc.:
The management of Rollins, Inc. and subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Rollins, Inc. maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance, at a reasonable cost, that assets are safeguarded against loss or unauthorized use and that the financial records are adequate and can be relied upon to produce financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The internal control system is augmented by written policies and procedures, an internal audit program and the selection and training of qualified personnel. This system includes policies that require adherence to ethical business standards and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management’s assessment is that Rollins, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
The independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and has also issued their report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, included in this report on page 41.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Rollins, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Rollins, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Rollins, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Rollins, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 Rollins, Inc. and Subsidiaries
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation—The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rollins, Inc. and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The Company does not consolidate the financial statements of any company in which it does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of, nor does it have a controlling financial interest in, any variable interest entity. Accordingly, the Company has not consolidated any variable interest entity. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition—The Company’s revenue recognition policy is to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, each of which are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Nature of Goods and Services and Performance Obligations
The Company contracts with its customers to provide the following goods and services, each of which is a distinct performance obligation:
Pest control services - Rollins provides pest control services to protect residential and commercial properties from common pests, including rodents and insects. Pest control generally consists of assessing a customer’s property for conditions that invite pests, addressing current infestations, and stopping the life cycle to prevent future invaders. Revenue from pest control services is recognized as services are rendered.
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are designed to recognize revenues upon satisfaction of the performance obligation at the time services are performed. Residential and commercial pest control services are primarily recurring in nature on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis, while certain types of commercial customers may receive multiple treatments within a given month. In general, pest control customers sign an initial one-year contract, and revenues are recognized at the time services are performed. The Company defers recognition of advance payments and recognizes the
48
revenue as the services are rendered. The Company classifies discounts related to the advance payments as a reduction in revenues.
Termite control services - Rollins provides a variety of termite protection services. Termite protection programs include liquid treatments, wet and dry foam applications, termite baiting and wood treatments. Revenue from initial termite treatment services is recognized as services are provided.
Termite maintenance/monitoring/inspection - In connection with the initial termite service offerings, Rollins provides recurring maintenance, monitoring or inspection services to help protect customers’ property from any future sign of termite activities after the original treatment. This recurring service is a service-type warranty under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as it is routinely sold and purchased separately from the initial treatment services and is typically purchased or renewed annually.
Termite baiting revenues are recognized based on the transfer of control of the individual units of accounting. At the inception of a new baiting services contract, upon quality control review of the installation, the Company recognizes revenue for the installation of the monitoring stations, initial directed liquid termiticide treatment and servicing of the monitoring stations. A portion of the contract amount is deferred for the undelivered monitoring performance obligation. This portion is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term, which results in recognition of revenue that depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the service. The allocation of the transaction price to the two deliverables is based on the relative stand-alone selling price. There are no contingencies related to the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. Baiting renewal revenue is deferred and recognized over the annual contract period on a straight-line basis that depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the service.
Revenue received for conventional termite renewals is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining contract term that depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the service, and the cost of reinspections, reapplications and repairs and associated labor and chemicals are expensed as incurred. For outstanding claims, an estimate is made of the costs to be incurred based upon current factors and historical information. The performance of reinspections tends to be close to the contract renewal date, and while reapplications and repairs involve an insubstantial number of the contracts, these costs are incurred over the contract term. As the revenue is being deferred, the future cost of reinspections, reapplications and repairs and associated labor and chemicals applicable to the deferred revenue are expensed as incurred. The Company accrues for known claims. The costs of providing termite services upon renewal are compared to the expected revenue to be received and a provision is made for any expected losses.
Miscellaneous services - In certain agreements with customers, Rollins may offer other miscellaneous services, including restroom cleaning (eliminating foul odors, grease and grime which could attract pests) and training (seminars covering good manufacturing practices and product stewardship). Revenue from miscellaneous services is recognized when services are provided.
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to billing. Unearned revenue mainly relates to the Company’s termite baiting offering, conventional renewals, and year-in-advance pest control services for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or perform the service. For multi-year agreements, we generally invoice customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. Refer to Note 3, Revenue for further information, including changes in unearned revenue for the year.
The Company extends terms to certain customers on higher dollar termite and ancillary work, as well as to certain franchisees for initial funding on the sale of franchises. These financed receivables are segregated from our trade receivables.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers or to provide customers with financing.
49
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 considered incremental costs to obtain a contract and are, therefore, recognized as an asset and amortized to expense over the life of the contract to the extent such costs are expected to be recovered. Capitalized costs of obtaining a contract are recorded within other current assets and other assets on our consolidated statements of financial position. Amortization of capitalized costs is recorded within sales, general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
In certain cases, we expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses—The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable. Management uses historical collection results as well as accounts receivable aging in order to determine the expected collectability of accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from pest control and termite services in the United States and select international locations. The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses is determined using a combination of factors. The Company’s established credit evaluation procedures seek to minimize the amount of business we conduct with higher risk customers. Provisions for expected credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Accounts are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses when the Company determines that amounts are uncollectible, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected. Significant recoveries will generally reduce the required provision in the period of recovery. Therefore, the provision for expected credit losses can fluctuate from period to period. We record specific provisions when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, our estimates of the realizability of receivables would be further adjusted, either upward or downward.
Advertising—Advertising costs are charged to sales, general and administrative expense during the period in which they are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company’s $100.0 million of total cash at December 31, 2025 is held at various banking institutions and also includes cash-in-transit. Approximately $50.5 million is held in cash by foreign subsidiaries and the remaining $49.5 million is held at domestic banks.

Marketable Securities—From time to time, the Company maintains investments held by various financial institutions. The Company’s investment policy does not allow investment in any securities rated less than “investment grade” by national rating services.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale because the Company does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.
The Company had no marketable securities other than an international bond investment and those held in the nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan at December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 9 and Note 11 for further details.
Materials and Supplies—Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.
Cloud Computing Costs—The Company capitalizes software license fees and implementation costs associated with cloud hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These amounts are included in other current assets and other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Amortization of the software license fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the service contract. Amortization of the implementation costs is calculated using the straight-line method based on the term of the service contract or based on the expected utilization of the asset and commences once the module or component is ready for its intended use.
Income Taxes—The Company provides for income taxes based on Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides an allowance for deferred tax assets when it determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized. The Company establishes additional provisions for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Equipment and Property—Equipment and property are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense is computed using the following asset lives: buildings, 10 to 40 years; and furniture, fixtures and operating equipment, 2 10
Certain internal-use software and systems development costs are capitalized. Accordingly, the specific identified costs incurred to develop and obtain software, which is intended for internal use, are not capitalized until the software is put into use. Management, with the relevant authority, authorizes and commits to funding a software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs incurred during a software development’s discovery phase and post-integration stage, are expensed as incurred. Application development activities that are eligible for capitalization include software design and configuration, development of interfaces, coding, testing and installation. Capitalized internal-use software and systems costs are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over a to seven years period after project completion and when the related software or system is ready for intended use.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company’s long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining
51
depreciable lives assigned to long-lived assets, including customer contracts and assets that may be subject to a management plan for disposition.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and other,” the Company classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite lives or goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. Such conditions may include an economic downturn or a change in the assessment of future operations. The Company performs impairment tests of goodwill at the reporting unit level annually on October 1st. Such an impairment test for goodwill includes comparing the fair value of the appropriate reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying value, the Company recognizes a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment charge if the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.
The Company completed its most recent annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2025. Based upon the results of these analyses, the Company has concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives was indicated. There were no
Accrued Insurance—The Company retains, up to specified limits, certain risks related to general liability, workers’ compensation and auto liability. Risks are managed through either high deductible insurance or, for Clark Pest Control only, a non-affiliated group captive insurance member arrangement. 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 group captive is subject to a third-party actuary retained by the captive manager, independent from the Company. For the high deductible insurance program, 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.
Accrual for Termite Contracts—The Company maintains an accrual for termite claims representing the estimated costs of reapplications, repairs and associated labor and chemicals, settlements, awards and other costs relative to termite control services. Factors that may impact future costs include termiticide life expectancy and government regulation. An accrual for termite contracts is included in other current liabilities and long-term accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.
Other Current Liabilities—Other current liabilities are mostly comprised of the current portion of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities (see Note 9), contingency accruals, deferred compensation plan liabilities (see Note 11) and taxes payable.
Other Long-term Accrued Liabilities—Other long-term accrued liabilities include long-term balances for deferred compensation plan liabilities, acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities, deferred tax liabilities, contingency accruals, and the long-term portion of unearned revenue.
Contingency Accruals—The Company is a party to legal proceedings with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies,” management estimates and accrues for its liability and costs associated with the pending and threatened legal and regulatory proceedings. Estimates and accruals are often determined in consultation with outside counsel. Because it is not possible to accurately predict the ultimate result of
52
the proceedings, judgments concerning accruals for liabilities and costs associated with litigation are inherently uncertain and actual liability may vary from amounts estimated or accrued. However, in the opinion of management, the outcome of the proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Contingency accruals are included in other current liabilities and long-term accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.
Earnings Per Share—the FASB ASC Topic 260-10 “Earnings Per Share-Overall,” requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share presentation. Further, all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities and an entity is required to include participating securities in its calculation of basic earnings per share.
The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company's participating securities consist of share-based payment awards that contain a nonforfeitable right to receive dividends and, therefore, are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. See Note 13 for further information on restricted stock granted to employees. See Note 18 for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method.
Translation of Foreign Currencies—Assets and liabilities reported in functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables, denominated in foreign currency are included in the earnings of the current period.
Stock-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Time-lapsed restricted stock awards and restricted stock units ("restricted shares") and performance share units ("PSUs") have been issued to officers and other management employees under the Company’s Employee Stock Incentive Plan. The Company issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool.
Restricted shares and PSUs provide for the issuance of a share of the Company’s common stock at no cost to the holder and generally vest after a certain stipulated number of years from the grant date, depending on the terms of the issue. During these years, certain restricted share award grantees receive all dividends declared and retain voting rights for the granted shares. The agreements under which the restricted shares are issued provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions established under the plans have lapsed.
The fair value of each restricted share and PSUs with Company-specific performance criteria is equal to the market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. For PSUs that are granted with a total shareholder return ("TSR") component, management estimates the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, as these awards are subject to a market condition. The fair value of these awards is recognized as compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) results from foreign currency translations, pension settlement and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Franchising Program—The Company has franchise programs through Orkin, MissQuito, Critter Control, and its Australian subsidiaries. We had a total of 131 domestic franchise agreements as of December 31, 2025. International franchise agreements totaled 66 as of December 31, 2025. Transactions with our franchises involve sales of territories and customer contracts to establish new franchises and the payment of initial franchise fees and royalties by franchisees. The territories, customer contracts and initial franchise fees are typically paid for by a combination of cash and notes.
Combined domestic and international revenues from our franchises were $16.0 million, $16.9 million and $16.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total franchising revenues were less than 1.0
Right to access intellectual property (Franchise)—The right to access Orkin’s, MissQuito’s, Critter Control’s, and our Australia franchisors’ intellectual property is an essential part of our franchise agreements. These agreements provide the franchisee a license to use the brand name and trademark when advertising and selling services to end customers in their
53
normal course of business. Orkin and Critter Control franchise agreements contain a clause allowing the respective franchisor to purchase certain assets of the franchisee at the conclusion of their franchise agreement or upon termination. This is only an option for the franchisor to re-purchase the assets selected by the franchisor and is not a performance obligation or a form of consideration.
Recent Accounting Guidance
Recently adopted accounting standards
In 2025, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” 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 company has applied this update retrospectively across all periods presented to allow for greater comparability. Refer to Note 15, Income Taxes for further details.
Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the ASC. These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or 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.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance provides an optional practical expedient when applying the guidance related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets resulting from transactions arising from contracts with customers. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The requirements will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The guidance modernizes and clarifies the threshold for when an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs and is based on when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for a modified or retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
54
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The update improves the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (Evergreen). This evergreen project facilitates Codification updates for a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, the unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Saela Pest Control Acquisition
On April 1, 2025, the Company acquired 100 % of Saela Holdings, LLC ("Saela") for $207.2 million. The Company funded this acquisition using cash on hand and borrowings under the commercial paper program.
The acquisition expands the Rollins family of brands, and management believes the acquisition will drive long-term value given Saela's attractive financial profile and complementary end market exposure.
The Saela acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, and Saela's results of operations are included in the Company's operations from the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Saela contributed revenues and net earnings of $54.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
The valuation of the Saela acquisition was performed by a third-party valuation specialist under management’s supervision. The estimated purchase price allocation disclosed as of June 30, 2025 was revised during the measurement period as new information was received and analyzed resulting in an increase in customer contracts, a decrease in goodwill, and other immaterial changes, as presented in the table below. The initial and updated preliminary values of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Saela are summarized as follows:

| Other current liabilities | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||
| Operating lease liabilities | ( | ( | |||||||||
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||
Included in the total consideration above are cash payments of $193.7 million made upon closing, contingent consideration valued at $8.8 million that is based on Saela's expected financial performance in the two years following the acquisition, and holdback liabilities valued at $4.7 million to be held by the Company to settle indemnity claims and purchase price
55
adjustments. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a charge of $3.2 million, related to adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisition of Saela. This charge is reported in sales, general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income.
The acquired Saela customer contracts are estimated to have a remaining useful life of 7 years. The acquired trademarks and tradenames are expected to have an indefinite useful life. See Note 8, Customer Contracts, Tradenames and Trademarks, and Other Intangible Assets, for further details.
Goodwill from this acquisition represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of the business acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized. 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.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a charge of $1.0 million related to adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from the acquisition of Fox. This charge is reported within sales, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.
Acquired customer contracts were estimated to have a remaining useful life of 7 years. The acquired trademarks and tradenames are expected to have an indefinite useful life. See Note 8, Customer Contracts, Tradenames and Trademarks, and Other Intangible Assets for further details.
Goodwill from this acquisition represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of the business acquired.

We recognized $180.9 million and $172.4 million of revenue in the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 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 December 31, 2025, we have $39.1 million of unamortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract, of which $28.9 million is recorded within other current assets and $10.2 million is recorded within other assets on our consolidated statements of financial position. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded approximately $34.1 million in amortization of capitalized costs, which is recorded within sales, general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income. 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 consolidated statements of financial position. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded approximately $22.1 million and $8.6 million in amortization of capitalized costs, respectively.
4. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED 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 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, as Rollins’ customer base is comprised of a large number of individual customers and dispersed 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 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 score. Rollins requires a potential obligor to have good creditworthiness with low risk before entering into a contract. Depending upon the individual’s credit score, the Company may accept with 100 % financing or require a down payment or turn down the contract. Delinquent 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.
Financed receivables are generally written-off when deemed uncollectible or when 180 days have elapsed since the date of the last full contractual payment. The Company’s write-off policy has been consistently applied during the periods reported. Management considers the charge-off policy when evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance for expected credit losses. Gross write-offs as a percentage of average financed receivables were 6.9 % and 8.1 % for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Company offers 90 days same-as-cash financing to some customers based on their creditworthiness. Interest is not recognized until the 91 st day at which time it is calculated retrospectively back to the first day if the contract has not been
61
paid in full. In certain circumstances, such as when delinquency is deemed to be of an administrative nature, accounts may still accrue interest when they reach 180 days past due. As of December 31, 2025, there were immaterial accounts greater than 180 days past due.
Included in financed receivables are notes receivable from franchise owners. The majority of these notes are low risk as the repurchase of these franchises is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Orkin Systems, LLC, and the repurchase price of the franchise is currently estimated and has historically been well above the receivable due from the franchise owner. Also included in notes receivables are franchise notes from other brands which are not guaranteed and do not have the same historical valuation.
The carrying amount of notes receivable approximates fair value as the interest rates approximate market rates for these types of contracts.
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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Total depreciation expense was approximately $34.4 million in 2025, $34.1 million in 2024 and $33.3 million in 2023.
6. LEASES
The Company leases certain buildings, vehicles, and equipment in order to reduce the risk associated with ownership. The Company elected the practical expedient approach permitted under ASC Topic 842, “Leases” not to include short-term leases with a duration of 12 months or less on the consolidated statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all leases were classified as operating leases. Building leases generally carry terms of 5 to 10 years with annual rent escalations at fixed amounts per the lease. Vehicle leases generally carry a fixed term of one year with renewal options to extend the lease on a monthly basis resulting in lease terms up to 7 years depending on the class of vehicle. The exercise of renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. It is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal options on its vehicle leases. The measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities for vehicle leases includes the fixed payments associated with such renewal periods. We separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Our lease agreements do not contain any material variable payments, residual value guarantees, early termination penalties or restrictive covenants.
63
The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease when available; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Accordingly, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement.

8. CUSTOMER CONTRACTS, TRADENAMES AND TRADEMARKS, AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Customer contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis as this best approximates the ratio that current revenues bear to the total of current and anticipated revenues based on the estimated lives of the assets. The Company has determined that customer contracts should be amortized over a life of 7 to 20 years.

9. 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had investments in international bonds of $6.2 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 on our consolidated statements of financial position. The unrealized gain or loss activity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was not significant.
Contingent Consideration
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $37.1 million and $21.0 million of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities payable to former owners of acquired companies, respectively. Holdback and earnout liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities under the fair value hierarchy. 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 consolidated statements of financial position. 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, including short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program, 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:

2035 Senior Notes and Exchange Offer
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 Section 4(a)(2) and 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 $6.1 million for debt issuance costs. The interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 24 and 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, which also released them as guarantors on the 2035 Senior Notes.
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 financial covenants as of December 31, 2025.
67
On May 6, 2025, we commenced an offer to exchange $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes privately placed in February 2025 (“Initial Notes”) for the $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Exchange Notes”). Approximately 99.6 % of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, and were exchanged for Exchange Notes as of June 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will have no transfer restrictions or registration rights.
The effective interest rate of our 2035 Senior Notes was 5.6 % as of December 31, 2025.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement ("the Credit Agreement") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), which refinanced its previous credit facility described below.
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 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, including Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Japanese Yen, subject to a $400 million foreign currency sublimit. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes sub-facilities for the issuance of letters of credit of up to $150 million and swing line loans at the Administrative Agent’s discretion of up to $50 million. Certain subsidiaries of Rollins provide unsecured guarantees of the Revolving Credit Facility. 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, including Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Japanese Yen, 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 financial debt covenants as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 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. The aggregate effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of December 31, 2024 was 5.5 %.

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. Borrowings under this program are generally outstanding for 30 days or less. The net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are used for various purposes, including general corporate purposes and funding for acquisitions. Information with respect to our outstanding commercial paper borrowings is as follows:

Bank Overdrafts
As of December 31, 2025, we had $9.3 million of bank overdrafts. As of December 31, 2024, we had no bank overdrafts.
Letters of Credit
The Company maintains $82.4 million in letters of credit as of December 31, 2025. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance carriers, due to the Company’s high deductible insurance program, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage and were increased from $72.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.
11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Contribution 401(k) Savings Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) that is available to a majority of the Company’s full-time employees the first day of the calendar month following completion of 90 days of service. The Plan is available to non-full-time employees the first day of the calendar quarter following one year of service upon completion of 1,000 hours in that year. The Plan provides for a matching contribution of one dollar ($1.00) for each one dollar ($1.00) of a participant’s contributions to the Plan that do not exceed 3 percent of his or her eligible compensation (which includes commissions, overtime, and bonuses) and fifty cents ($0.50) for each one dollar ($1.00) of a participant’s contributions to the Plan over the initial 3 percent that do not exceed 6 percent of his or her eligible compensation (which includes commissions, overtime and bonuses). The charge to expense for the Company match was approximately $38.7 million, $35.8 million and $32.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 approximately 29.1 %, 28.4 %, and 30.4 %, respectively, of the fair value of plan assets consisted of Rollins, Inc. common stock. Total administrative fees paid by the Company for the Plan were insignificant for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that participants may defer up to 50 % of their base salary and up to 85 % of their annual bonus with respect to any given plan year, subject to a $2 thousand per plan year minimum. For each payment of a participant's annual regular compensation or annual bonus payment from which a participant elects to have amounts deferred under this plan, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides a matching contribution equal to 50 % of the amount of such deferrals that do not exceed 3 % of such eligible compensation. The Company may make discretionary contributions to participant accounts but has not done so since 2011.
69
Accounts will be credited with hypothetical earnings, and/or debited with hypothetical losses, based on the performance of certain “Measurement Funds.” Account values are calculated as if the funds from deferrals and Company credits had been converted into shares or other ownership units of selected Measurement Funds by purchasing (or selling, where relevant) such shares or units at the current purchase price of the relevant Measurement Fund at the time of the participant’s selection. Deferred Compensation Plan benefits are unsecured general obligations of the Company to the participants, and these obligations rank in parity with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company has established a “rabbi trust,” which it uses to voluntarily set aside amounts to indirectly fund any obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent that the Company’s obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan exceed assets available under the trust, the Company would be required to seek additional funding sources to fund its liability under the Deferred Compensation Plan.
Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides for distributions of any deferred amounts upon the earliest to occur of a participant’s death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment (a “Termination Event”). However, for any deferrals of salary and bonus (but not Company contributions), participants would be entitled to designate a distribution date which is prior to a Termination Event. Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan allows a participant to elect to receive distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in installments or lump-sum payments.
At December 31, 2025, the Deferred Compensation Plan had 73 life insurance policies with a net face value of $53.5 million compared to 73 policies with a face value of $50.7 million at December 31, 2024. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies was $30.0 million and $27.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These policies are valued using the NAV practical expedient.

Total expense related to deferred compensation was $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company had $30.0 million and $27.6 million in deferred compensation assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and $20.6 million and $18.9 million in deferred compensation liability as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, located within other current liabilities and long-term accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.

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, inquiries, investigations, litigation, 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 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 and investigations 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
70
made until future periods) and may be subsequently revised based on developments relating to such claims. The Company contracts with an independent third party 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. In January 2023, the Company received a notice of alleged violations and information requests from local governmental authorities in California for our Orkin and Clark Pest Control operations, relating to compliance with environmental and other regulations governing the management of certain waste streams and pesticide disposal. The investigation was part of a broader effort to investigate waste handling and disposal processes of a number of industries. 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.
Management does not believe that any pending or 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.
13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $327.9 million, or $0.6775 per share, in cash and stock dividends compared to $298.1 million, or $0.6150 per share and $264.3 million or $0.5400 per share, during the same period in 2024 and 2023.
2025 Secondary Offering
On November 10, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “2025 Underwriting Agreement”) with LOR, Inc. (“LOR”) (a company controlled by Mr. Gary W. Rollins and certain members of his family) and Rollins Holding Company, Inc. (together, the “Selling Stockholders”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the sale by the Selling Stockholders of 17,391,305 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $57.50 per share (the “2025 Offering”). In connection with the 2025 Offering, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 2,608,695 shares of Common Stock (the “2025 Optional Shares”). The 2025 Offering, including the sale of the 2025 Optional Shares, closed on November 12, 2025. The Company did not sell any shares in the 2025 Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the 2025 Offering. In addition, the Company completed the repurchase of 3,478,260 of the shares of Common Stock offered in the 2025 Offering for approximately $200 million at the same per share price paid by the Underwriter to the Selling Stockholders in the 2025 Offering, or $56.93 per share.
2023 Secondary Offering
On September 6, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “2023 Underwriting Agreement”) with LOR and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offer by LOR of 38,724,100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a public offering price of $35.00 per share (the “2023 Offering”). In connection with the 2023 Offering, LOR granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 5,785,714 shares of Common Stock (the “2023 Optional Shares”). The 2023 Offering, including the sale of the 2023 Optional Shares, closed on September 11, 2023. The Company did not sell any shares in the 2023 Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the 2023 Offering. In addition, the Company completed
71
the repurchase of 8,724,100 of the shares of Common Stock offered in the 2023 Offering for approximately $300 million at $34.39 per share.
As we repurchase our common stock, we reduce common stock for par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess of the purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.
The Company did not repurchase shares on the open market during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company repurchases shares from employees for the payment of their taxes on equity awards that have vested. The Company repurchased $16.2 million, $11.6 million and $10.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued $5.4 million, $4.8 million and $2.0 million of shares to employees in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") discussed below.
Stock Compensation Plans
Time-Lapsed Restricted Shares and Performance Share Unit Awards
Time-lapsed restricted share awards and restricted stock units (“restricted shares”), as well as performance share units ("PSUs"), have been issued to officers and other employees, and annual share awards are made to non-employee directors, under the Company’s Employee Stock Incentive Plan.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the unvested portion of awards outstanding over the remainder of the requisite service period. The compensation cost recorded for these awards is based on the Company's closing stock price at the grant date less the cost of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. For PSUs that are granted with a total shareholder return ("TSR") component, management estimates the fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, as these awards are subject to a market condition.
Restricted shares and PSUs provide for the issuance of a share of the Company’s common stock at no cost to the holder and generally vest after a certain stipulated number of years from the grant date, depending on the terms of the issue. The PSUs will vest and convert to shares of common stock at the end of a three-year performance period upon the Company's successful achievement of certain financial and market performance goals. Restricted shares and PSUs typically vest over approximately to six-year periods. During these years, grantees of certain awards receive all dividends declared and retain voting rights for the granted shares. The agreements under which the one-time grant of restricted stock is issued provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions established under the plans have lapsed.
The Company issued time-lapsed restricted shares and PSUs of 0.7 million, 0.7 million, and 0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. At December 31, 2025, approximately 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance.

The total income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation awards recognized in income was $7.0 million, $5.5 million, and $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $53.4 million and $55.3 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares and PSUs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years and 3.1 years at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On April 26, 2022, shareholders approved the Rollins, Inc. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which provides eligible employees with the option to purchase shares of Company common stock, at a discount, through payroll deductions during six-month offering periods. Initially, a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for issuance under the ESPP. Under the ESPP, shares of common stock may be purchased by eligible participants during defined purchase periods at 90 % of the lesser of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the first day or last day of each purchase period. The first offering period for the ESPP began on July 1, 2022. The Company recorded compensation expense of $0.9 million, $1.2 million, and $0.4 million in connection with the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, the Company increased its valuation allowance by approximately $0.9 million related to deferred tax assets on intangible assets held in Australia. The Company does not expect to recognize such deferred tax assets as it expects to continue its operations in Australia for the foreseeable future and the related intangible assets are not amortizable for tax purposes in Australia.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has no net operating loss carryforwards in any federal, state, or foreign jurisdictions. The Company has state tax credit carryforwards of $0.4 million which will begin to expire in 2035 if not fully utilized.
As of December 31, 2025, we assert that foreign cash earnings in excess of working capital and cash needed for strategic investments and acquisitions are not intended to be indefinitely reinvested offshore and we have included the tax effects of such current and/or future repatriations, including applicable state taxes and foreign withholding tax of such cash earnings in these financial statements. Any non-cash unremitted earnings in our foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested and deferred taxes have not been provided on these earnings.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $0.1 million. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.6 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had no interest and penalties related to income tax matters during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is under examination in certain state jurisdictions for years ranging from 2019 through 2023. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current or prior years to determine whether the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. The Company recognizes liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due and believes its reserves are adequate in relation to any potential assessments. The outcome of any one examination, some of which may conclude during the next 12 months, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

LLC is now owned by a trust for the benefit of the late Mr. Rollins’ family. The Company terminated the lease in 2024. The Company paid $100 per month in rent for the leased aircraft, and all variable costs and expenses associated with the leased aircraft, such as the costs for fuel, maintenance, storage and pilots. The Company had the priority right to use of the aircraft on business days, and Rollins family members and guests had the right to use the aircraft for personal use through the terms of an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement with the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid or incurred approximately $0.6 million in rent and operating costs under the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement. The Company made $500 in rent payments in 2024 and no payments in 2025.
In August 2023, GWRG450, LLC (“GWR LLC”), a company wholly-owned by Mr. Gary W. Rollins, purchased a Gulfstream 450 aircraft (the “G450”). In connection with the G450 purchase, the Company entered into a lease arrangement with GWR LLC to lease the G450 for corporate purposes from time to time. That lease arrangement was superseded and replaced effective January 1, 2024 with a Non-Exclusive Part 91 (Dry) Aircraft Lease Agreement between the Company and GWR, LLC (the “Dry Lease”). Pursuant to the Dry Lease, the Company has access to the aircraft for business purposes. The Company pays GWR, LLC an hourly flight rent with a minimum charge per use of $15,000 per round trip with a minimum annual rental commitment of $300,000 . In addition, as consideration for access to the aircraft, the Company pays $300,000 of its annual maintenance charges, a portion of costs for the maintenance contractor and the state and local sales tax on the rental payments. The Dry Lease expires on June 30, each year and is auto-extended per its terms unless sooner terminated.

These costs are recorded within restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of income. No
18. 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 stockholders 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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Rollins, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
The following summary of the terms of our common stock is based upon our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (“certificate of incorporation”), and our amended and restated bylaws (“bylaws”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the applicable provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, of which this Exhibit 4.22 is a part, and are incorporated by reference herein. We encourage you to read our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law for more information.
The authorized capital stock of Rollins consists of 800 million shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share.
COMMON STOCK
The stockholders of Rollins common stock:
•are entitled to dividends if they are declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the rights of stockholders of Rollins preferred stock;
•are entitled to one vote per share on all matters brought before them (voting is noncumulative in the election of directors); except as otherwise required by law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation, holders of common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders;
•have no preemptive or conversion rights;
•are not subject to, or entitled to the benefits of, any redemption or sinking fund provision; and
•are entitled upon liquidation to receive the remainder of our assets after the payment of corporate debts and the satisfaction of the liquidation preference of our preferred stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
Rollins’ board of directors is empowered, without approval of the stockholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series, with the number of shares of each series and the rights, preferences and limitations of each series to be determined by it at the time of issuance. Among the specific matters that our board of directors may determine are the rate of
dividends, redemption and conversion prices and terms and amounts payable in the event of liquidation and special voting rights. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of holders of common stock and could be used, among other things, to discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS WITH INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS
As a public Delaware corporation, Rollins is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person owning 15 percent or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) from engaging in a “business combination” with a Delaware corporation for three years following the time such person became an interested stockholder unless:
•before such person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;
•upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85 percent of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers of the corporation and by employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the rights to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer); or
•following the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested stockholder.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF ROLLINS
General
A number of provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws deal with matters of corporate governance and the rights of stockholders including, among others, provisions for the classification of the board of directors into three classes having terms of three years. Certain of these provisions may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeover attempts not first approved by the board of directors, including takeovers which certain stockholders may deem to be in their best interest. These provisions also could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control by stockholders, even if such removal or assumption would be beneficial to stockholders of Rollins. These provisions also could discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if they could be favorable to the interests of stockholders, and could potentially depress the market price of the common stock. The board of directors believes that these provisions are appropriate to protect the interests of Rollins and all of its stockholders.
Meetings of Stockholders
The bylaws provide that only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at that special meeting, unless otherwise provided by law. In addition, the bylaws set forth certain advance notice and informational requirements and time limitations on any director nomination or any new business which a stockholder wishes to propose for consideration at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability
The bylaws provide that directors and officers shall be, and at the discretion of the board of directors, others serving at the request of Rollins may be, indemnified by Rollins to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of Rollins and further requires the advancing of expenses incurred in defending claims. The bylaws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. The certificate contains a provision permitted by Delaware law that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty. This provision does not alter a director’s liability under the federal securities laws. In addition, this provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of fiduciary duty.
Amendment of Bylaws
The certificate of incorporation provides that Rollins’ bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors and any bylaws adopted by the directors may be altered, amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders.
Classified Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Any director elected prior to the date of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders is serving for a three-year term expiring on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation following the annual meeting of stockholders at which that director was elected. Under the Company’s bylaws, the classified board structure will be phased out as follows: Each director elected at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders was elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director elected at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders will be elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, the board of directors shall cease to be classified and all directors will be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders.
Removal of Directors
Beginning in 2027, all directors may generally be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote. However, during the period in which the Board remains classified, any director elected to serve a classified term expiring at the third annual meeting following such director’s election may be removed only for cause.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent Prohibited
The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders must be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board and shall be called by the Chairman or Secretary on the request in writing or by vote of a majority of the directors or at the request in writing of stockholders of record owning a majority in amount of the capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Transfer Agent and Listing
The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ROL.” The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock Transfer and Trust Company.

Any interpretations of this Agreement or of the Plan made by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. 3. GRANT OF TIME-LAPSE RESTRICTED STOCK. Effective as of on [[GRANTDATE]] (the “Grant Date”), the Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Employee [[SHARESGRANTED]] shares of Common Stock, which shares are subject to satisfaction of the vesting requirements and the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (such shares of Common Stock being hereinafter referred to in the aggregate as the “Time-Lapse Restricted Stock”). 4. SERVICE/EMPLOYMENT; VESTING. (a) All Time-Lapse Restricted Stock shall vest as follows: 33.3 percent effective on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, then 33.3 percent on the second anniversary and will be fully vested by the third anniversary of the Grant Date, but only if, through each such date, Employee shall have been in the continuous employ of the Company or a subsidiary thereof, in a position of equivalent or greater responsibility as on the Grant Date; provided, however, that the Committee or its permitted designee may waive, at
2 any time on or after the Grant Date, the requirement that Employee’s employment position be one of equivalent or greater responsibility as on the Grant Date, with respect to all or a portion of the Time-Lapse Restricted Stock. Vesting Schedule: [[ALLVESTSEGS]] Total: [[SHARESGRANTED]] If Employee’s employment with the Company terminates at any time prior to the vesting pursuant to this Section 3 of the Time-Lapse Restricted Stock issued hereunder, he or she shall forfeit all unvested Time-Lapse Restricted Stock, unless the Employee’s employment terminates due to his or her (i) permanent Disability (as defined in the Plan), in which case a portion of such unvested Time-Lapse Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall vest. In the case of permanent Disability, the number of shares to vest immediately will be determined by prorating the Time-Lapse Restricted Stock by dividing the total number of months elapsed from the Grant Date to the date of permanent Disability by 36, multiplying the result by the aggregate amount of Time- Lapse Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and reducing the result by any previously vested shares pursuant to this Agreement, if any [Example: Employee becomes permanently disabled 21 months after receiving a grant of 6,000 shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock; 2,000 shares vested on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; and an additional 1,500 shares shall vest upon permanent Disability calculated as follows – 21/36 = 58.3% X 6,000 = 3,500 less 2,000 shares], or (ii) death, in which case all unvested Time-Lapse Restricted Stock shall vest immediately. The transfer of employment by Employee between the Company and a subsidiary thereof shall not be deemed a termination of employment under the Plan or this Agreement. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, as defined in the Change-in-Control Severance and Restrictive Covenant Agreement between the Company or an affiliate thereof and Employee (“CIC Agreement”), if applicable, or as determined by the Board of Directors, if there is no such CIC Agreement, all unvested Time- Lapse Restricted Stock shall vest immediately. 5. ESCROW; DIVIDENDS AND VOTING RIGHTS. Prior to the completion of the vesting periods referenced in Section 4 above, all shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock shall be held in escrow by the Company for the benefit of Employee. During such period, prior to any forfeiture of the shares, Employee shall receive all cash dividends declared with respect to the shares held as of the record date and shall have the right to exercise all voting rights with respect to the shares. At the discretion of the Company, any share certificates so held in escrow shall be inscribed with a legend referencing the transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement and any other applicable transfer restrictions. Any share certificates issued pursuant to a stock split or as dividends with respect to the Time-Lapse Restricted Stock held in escrow shall also be held in escrow on the same terms as the Time-Lapse Restricted Stock and shall be released at the same time as, and subject to the same risk of forfeiture as, the shares with respect to which they were issued. Any issued Time-Lapse Restricted
3 Stock which the Employee does not forfeit pursuant to Section 4 above shall be transferred to the Employee free of any forfeiture conditions under the Plan or this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable after the service vesting condition under Section 4 above has been satisfied or no longer applies; provided, however, that if the Compensation Committee at any time before such transfer reasonably determines that the Employee is likely to have violated any applicable criminal law, the Compensation Committee shall have the right to cause all of Employee’s Time-Lapse Restricted Stock then held in escrow to be forfeited, without regard to whether (i) Employee has satisfied the service vesting condition set forth in Section 4 before the date the Compensation Committee makes such determination, or (ii) Employee’s employment is (or might have been) terminated as a result of such conduct. 6. NON-TRANSFERABILITY. No Time-Lapse Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable, and such Time-Lapse Restricted Stock shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process, until that date on which the Time- Lapse Restricted Stock vests pursuant to Section 4 above and has been transferred to Employee. Any attempt by the Employee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Employee’s interest in this Agreement or any Time-Lapse Restricted Stock prior to its becoming fully vested and transferred to Employee shall be ineffective and shall permit the Company to terminate this Agreement and cause the forfeiture of any unvested shares. The Company may, at its discretion, place a legend to such effect on the certificates representing the shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock and issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the Company’s transfer agent. 7. CHANGE IN CAPITALIZATION. If there are any changes in the capitalization of the Company affecting in any manner the number or kind of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, whether such changes occur by declaration of a stock dividend or stock split or in the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, or similar event, such substitute or adjustment shall be made in the shares subject to this Time-Lapse Restricted Stock award as may be determined to be appropriate by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. The Compensation Committee need not treat other holders of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock in the same manner as Employee is treated. 8. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW. If any law, regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any regulation of any other commission or agency having jurisdiction shall require the Company or the Employee to take any action prior to the issuance or release from escrow of any shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock, then the date upon which the Company shall deliver or cause to be issued or released from escrow the certificate or certificates for such shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock shall be postponed until full compliance has been made with all such requirements or law or regulations. Further, at or before the time of issuance of any shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock, the Employee shall, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company his/her written statement that he/she intends to hold such shares for investment and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof to the public. Further, in the event the Company shall determine that, in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, it is necessary to register any of the shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock, or
4 to qualify any such shares for exemption from any of the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulations, then the Company shall take such action at its own expense, but not until such action has been completed shall the shares be issued in the name of the Employee. 9. WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold or require an Employee to remit to the Company, an amount (including any shares of Common Stock withheld as provided herein) sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the Employee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to vesting of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock pursuant to this agreement. With the Company’s consent, the Employee may elect that such tax-withholding requirements be satisfied, in whole or in part, (1) by providing a personal check payable to Rollins, Inc. for the full amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes or (2) through a reduction in the number of shares of Time-Lapse Restricted Stock issued or transferred to the Employee. Any such election shall be irrevocable, made in writing and acknowledged by the Employee. The Company reserves the right to reduce the number of shares of Time- Lapse Restricted Stock issued or transferred to the Employee in order to satisfy such minimum applicable tax withholding requirements. 10. NO EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant Employee the right to continued employment with the Company or to limit or restrict the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate an Employee’s employment at any time, with or without cause, or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Employee from the rate in existence at the date hereof. 11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and all awards made and actions taken hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, to the extent applicable, and in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia in all other respects. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Time-Lapse Restricted Stock Agreement to be duly executed by an authorized officer, and the Employee has hereunto set his/her hand, via electronic acceptance, all as of the day and year first above written.

Your bonus plan is subject to change each year. C. Your bonus will be calculated using your actual current base salary as of December 31, 2026. D. Your eligibility for a bonus and the amount due will be determined solely by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion. E. Bonus payments will be made in one lump sum no later than March 15, 2027, minus applicable state and federal taxes. Other deductions may apply, e.g., 401(K) deductions, etc. F. You must be employed in the same position on December 31, 2026 to be eligible for a bonus, except as described below in (H.) G. You will not receive a bonus if for any reason you are in a position on December 31, 2026 that is not eligible for a bonus or if you are not actively employed in a bonus- eligible position by the Company or a Company subsidiary on the date that the bonus is paid. H. If you are promoted or transferred during the plan year from one bonus-eligible position to another bonus-eligible position, the bonus components common to both plans carry over to the new position. Plan components unique to the original bonus- eligible position will be paid based on time spent in that position, and plan components unique to the new bonus-eligible position will be paid based on time spent in that position. I. If you are hired into a bonus-eligible position during the year, or if you are promoted during the plan year from a position that is ineligible for a bonus into a bonus-eligible position, you will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus, based on time spent in the bonus- eligible position. J. If you are transferred during the plan year from a bonus-eligible position to a position that is not bonus-eligible, you will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus based on time spent in the bonus-eligible position. K. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that you have at any time falsified Company documents or violated Company policy, or that you had knowledge of such actions by employees under your direction and did not take corrective actions, you will not be entitled to receive any bonus hereunder. L. If any bonus amount was paid as a result of misrepresented or inaccurate performance results or metrics, the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee expressly reserves the discretionary right to recoup those erroneous
bonus overpayments immediately from any future wages and compensation, subject to all applicable local, state and federal laws pertaining thereto, or require repayment of some or all of the erroneous bonus compensation paid. M. Any disputes over your bonus will be resolved by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion. N. The Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reward outstanding performance in unique situations by awarding an employee a bonus outside the terms of the 2026 Executive Bonus Plan. O. The performance results for purposes of the 2026 Executive Bonus Plan from which the bonus is determined may be subject to adjustments as recommended by the Executive Chairman or President and Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, for the year 2026. Final performance results and bonus calculations under the 2026 Executive Bonus Plan are subject to change based on approved adjustments to Plan, as determined by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion. P. If a significant business or product line acquisition or sale is consummated by the Company, or if the Company should incur or recognize unusual or exceptional charges or revenue, during the year 2026, then the bonus calculations hereunder may be adjusted to include or exclude, as appropriate, the revenues, pre-tax profit and/or other key operating measures of such acquisition or sale, or to exclude or adjust for such unusual or exceptional items, to the extent and in such amounts as the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

No bonus will be paid under any component if Rollins Inc.’s pre-tax profit does not result in a profit improvement in 2026, as compared to 2025. A pro-rata calculation will be made for actual results that are between the levels on the scales contained in your bonus plan, calculated to the tenths decimal place value. B. Revenue to Plan Component If Rollins Inc.’s combined revenue increase for 2026 over 2025 meets or exceeds 95% of the Company’s plan for 2026, you will receive a bonus based on a scale up to the maximum allowable percentage of salary under your bonus plan for this component. C. EBITDA to Plan Achievement Component If Rollins EBITDA for 2026 meets or exceeds 95% of the Company’s plan for 2026, you will receive a bonus based on a scale up to the maximum allowable percentage of salary under your bonus plan for this component.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT I have received and read a copy of my Executive Incentive Compensation Plan for 2026 with accompanying Glossary of Terms and Conditions. I understand that participation in this Plan should in no way be construed as a contract or promise of employment and/or compensation. Employment is at-will, and therefore employment and compensation can terminate, with or without cause and with or without notice, at any time at the option of the Company or employee.
