Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC major-group 73 Business Services, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
GENERAL OPERATING COMMENTS
Below is a summary of the key operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026:
•Second quarter revenues were $1.1 billion, an increase of 7.9% over the second quarter of 2025 with organic revenues* increasing 5.7%. This represents our 99th consecutive quarter of revenue growth.
•Quarterly operating income was $201.4 million, an increase of 1.5% over the second quarter of 2025. Quarterly operating margin was 18.7%, a decrease of 110 basis points versus the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating income* was $209.9 million, an increase of 2.0% over the prior year. Adjusted operating margin* was 19.5%, a decrease of 110 basis points compared to the prior year.
•Quarterly net income was $143.9 million, an increase of 1.7% over the prior year. Adjusted net income* was $151.9 million, an increase of 3.4% over the prior year.
•Adjusted EBITDA* was $236.3 million, an increase of 2.2% over the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin* was 21.9%, a decrease of 120 basis points versus the second quarter of 2025.
•Quarterly EPS was $0.30 per diluted share, a 3.4% increase over the prior year EPS of $0.29. Adjusted EPS* was $0.32 per diluted share, an increase of 6.7% over the prior year.
•Operating cash flow was $172.5 million for the quarter, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the prior year. Free cash flow* was $166 million for the quarter, a decrease of 1.2% compared to the prior year. Cash flow was negatively impacted due to the timing of tax payments associated with our tax credit planning strategy. The Company invested $116.8 million in acquisitions, $6.4 million in capital expenditures, and paid dividends totaling $88.1 million.
Our reported results for the second quarter fell short of our expectations. Organic revenue* growth in the quarter was negatively impacted by slower growth in parts of our residential service offering due to a decline in lead volume. Specifically, those of our brands that are more reliant on consumer-initiated demand through search, digital media and inbound calls experienced a more challenging demand environment. Encouragingly, other areas of our business that leverage relationship-based channels, such as home builders and door-to-door sales, delivered solid organic revenue* growth in the quarter, reinforcing the importance of our diversified, multi-brand approach. Although we remain cautious regarding near-term demand trends, lead volume improved toward the end of June and has maintained this momentum through the first few weeks of July.
We are focused on execution, accountability, and consistent improvement. We have implemented organizational and operational changes to improve local execution, strengthen accountability, and better align resources with current demand conditions, while continuing to invest in areas that will drive long-term growth.
Given our first half results and visibility into near-term operating conditions, we are updating our full-year outlook. We expect to report at least 6% organic revenue* growth, 2% to 3% inorganic revenue* growth, adjusted incremental EBITDA margin* of at least 10%, and free cash flow conversion* of greater than 100% in 2026. We believe the medium-term financial outlook and opportunities outlined at our Investor & Analyst Conference in May remain ahead of us and we maintain conviction in our ability to achieve those financial targets over time.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
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 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considered the impact of economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the quarter have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but are complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding these macroeconomic 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 these 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.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Revenues
The following presents a summary of revenues by service offering for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively:
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $79.0 million, or 7.9%, from 2025 revenues of $999.5 million. The increase in revenues was driven by demand from our customers across all major service offerings. Organic revenue* growth was 5.7% with acquisitions adding 2.2% in the quarter. Residential pest control revenue increased 6.6%, commercial pest control revenue increased 8.6% and termite and ancillary services grew 10.5% including both organic and acquisition-related growth in each area. Organic revenue* growth was 3.6% in residential, 7.2% in commercial, and 8.9% in termite and ancillary activity. The Company’s foreign operations accounted for approximately 7% of total revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
*Amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of non-GAAP financial metrics including a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Revenues are impacted by weather conditions, including climate change and the seasonal nature of the Company’s pest and termite control services. The increase in pest activity, as well as the metamorphosis of termites in the spring and summer (the occurrence of which is determined by the change in seasons), has historically resulted in an increase in the Company’s revenues as evidenced by the following table:
