ROLLINS, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, October 27, 2021: Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial services company, reported strong unaudited financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded third quarter revenues of $650.2 million, an increase of 11.4% over the prior year’s third quarter revenue of $583.7 million. Rollins’ reported net income was $93.9 million or $0.19 per diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $79.6 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the same period in 2020.

Rollins’ revenues rose 12.2% for the first nine months of 2021 to $1.824 billion compared to $1.625 billion for the prior year. Net income for the first nine months of 2021 was $285.4 million or $0.58 per diluted share compared to $198.2 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the same period last year. Adjusted net income* and adjusted earnings per diluted share* for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $262.1 million or $0.53, respectively, compared to $204.9 million or $0.42 per diluted share for the same period last year.

The Company, as planned and previously disclosed, disposed of the majority of the properties received through the 2019 acquisition of Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release may contain or incorporate by reference information that includes or is based on forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s confidence in its continued success. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events and can be identified by the fact that they relate to future actions, performance or results rather than strictly to historical or current facts.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and are not guarantees of future performance. Among the general factors that could cause actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements and estimated results and financial condition are those factors listed in periodic reports filed by Rollins with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including those factors discussed under Item 1.A., “Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2020, which factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s belief that its accounting estimates and assumptions, financial condition and results of operations may change materially in future periods in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the outcomes of any pending claim, proceeding, litigation, regulatory action or investigation filed against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ongoing SEC investigation; the Company’s belief that the ongoing SEC investigation is primarily focused on how it established accruals and reserves at period-ends and the impact of those accruals and reserves on reported earnings, and the Company’s inability to predict the outcome of the SEC investigation; risks related to the Company’s belief that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future; the Company’s belief that it maintains adequate liquidity and capital resources that are directed to finance domestic operations and obligations and to fund expansion of its domestic business for the foreseeable future without regard to its foreign deposits; exposure of certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including fluctuation in interest rates and foreign currency exchange fluctuations; risks related to changes in industry practices or technologies; and competitive factors and pricing practices.

No assurances can be given that the results and financial condition contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable. Rollins assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of events or developments subsequent to the date of this press release, including any such statements related to COVID-19. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures Rollins makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

APPENDIX

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS in today’s earnings release, and the non-GAAP financial measures of organic revenues, organic revenues on a constant exchange rate, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow in today’s conference call. 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.

The Company uses adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance because they allow it to compare performance consistently over various periods without regard to the impact of the property disposition gains or the accelerated stock vesting expense. The Company uses organic revenues and organic revenues on a constant exchange rate to compare revenues over various periods excluding the impact of acquisitions and the change in foreign currency rates. The Company uses free cash flow to demonstrate its ability to generate cash.

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 statement of operations, balance sheet or statement 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.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in today’s earnings release and conference call with their most comparable GAAP measures.
