NOTE 1.BASIS OF PREPARATION
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable sections of SEC regulation S-X, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies or the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rollins, Inc. (including its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, “Rollins,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, accrued insurance, revenue recognition, right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liability valuations, accounts and financing receivable reserves, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, contingency accruals and goodwill and other intangible asset valuations. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions.
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 COVID-19 and other economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the quarter have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and other economic trends. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The severity, magnitude and duration of certain economic trends, as well as the economic consequences of COVID-19, continue to be uncertain and are difficult to predict. Therefore, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19 and other economic trends and may change materially in future periods.
The Company operates as one reportable segment and the results of operations and its financial condition are not reliant upon any single customer.
NOTE 2.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently adopted accounting standards
In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832) – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” The amendments in this Update require disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by analogizing to a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for the transactions, and (3) the effect of the transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” The amendments in this Update eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, for public business entities, the amendments in this Update require that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurements of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The amendments in this Update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. This Update also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently own any equity securities and therefore the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3.ACQUISITIONS
The Company made 27 acquisitions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and 39 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the 27 acquisitions completed through September 30, 2022, the preliminary values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at the dates of acquisition, as adjusted during the valuation period, are included in the reconciliation of the total consideration as follows (in thousands):

The Company also made a final payment of $3.1 million for a 2021 acquisition in 2022.
Goodwill from acquisitions represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $61.0 million of goodwill was added related to the 27 acquisitions noted above. The recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding these fair values.

NOTE 5.ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily related to accounts receivables and financed receivables derived from customer services revenue. To reduce credit risk for residential pest control accounts receivable, we promote enrollment in our auto-pay programs. In general, we may suspend future services for customers with past due balances. The Company’s credit risk is generally low with a large number of individuals and entities comprising Rollins’ customer base and dispersion across many different geographical regions.
The Company manages its financing 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 Beacon/credit bureau score. Rollins requires a potential obligor to have good credit worthiness with low risk before entering into a contract. Depending upon the individual’s credit score, the Company may accept with 100% financing, require a significant down payment or turn down the contract. Delinquencies of accounts are monitored each month. Financing receivables include installment receivable amounts, some of which are due subsequent to one year from the balance sheet dates.
The Company’s allowances for credit losses for trade accounts receivable and financed receivables are developed using historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and a review of the current status of customers’ receivables. The Company’s receivable pools are classified between residential customers, commercial customers, large commercial customers, and financed receivables. Accounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that amounts are uncollectible, and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected. The Company stops accruing interest to these receivables when they are deemed uncollectible. Below is a roll forward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands).

NOTE 7.LEASES
The Company leases certain buildings, vehicles, and equipment. The Company elected the practical expedient approach permitted under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 “Leases”, not to include short-term leases with a duration of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all leases were classified as operating leases. Building leases generally carry terms of 5 to 15 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company completed multiple sale-leaseback transactions where it sold 17 of its properties related to the Clark Pest Control acquisition for gross proceeds of $67.0 million and a pre-tax gain of $31.5 million, which is included as Other income, net on the income statement. These leases are classified as operating leases with terms of 7 to 15 years.
13
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.

Total future minimum lease payments for operating leases, including the amount representing interest, are comprised of $163.5 million for building leases and $142.8 million for vehicle leases. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had additional future obligations of $15.6 million for leases that had not yet commenced.
NOTE 8.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, financed and notes receivable, accounts payable, other short-term liabilities, and debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments
14
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
approximate their respective fair values. The Company also has derivative instruments as further discussed in Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant non-observable inputs.
As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we had investments in international bonds of $10.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively. These bonds are accounted for as available for sale securities and are level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021, the entire investment was recorded in other current assets. Management reassessed their intentions on the investment and at September 30, 2022, $0.6 million was included in other current assets and $10.0 million was included in other assets. The bonds are recorded at fair market value with unrealized losses of $1.0 million included in other comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $19.4 million and $25.2 million of acquisition holdback and earnout liabilities payable to former owners of acquired companies, respectively. The earnout liabilities were discounted to reflect the expected probability of payout, and both earnout and holdback liabilities were discounted to their net present value on the Company’s books and are considered level 3 liabilities. The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for these liabilities.

NOTE 9.DEBT
In April 2019, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with Truist Bank N.A. (formerly SunTrust Bank N.A.) and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”) for an unsecured revolving commitment of up to $175.0 million, which includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $25.0 million swingline subfacility (the “Revolving Commitment”), and an unsecured variable rate $250.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). On January 27, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Truist Bank and Bank of America, N.A. whereby additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $252.0 million were advanced to the Company. The Amendment also replaced LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for borrowings with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) and reset the amortization schedule for all term loans under the Credit Agreement. The maturity of all loans made under the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment remains unchanged at April 29, 2024 and all other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged in all material respects. In addition, the Credit Agreement has provisions to extend the term of the Revolving Commitment beyond April 29, 2024, as well as the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any borrowing under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $124.9 million under the Term Loan and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Commitment. The aggregate effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was 3.866%. The effective interest rate is comprised of the BSBY plus a margin of 75.0 basis points as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation. As of December 31, 2021, the Revolving
15
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Commitment had outstanding borrowings of $107.0 million and the Term Loan had outstanding borrowings of $48.0 million.
The Company maintains approximately $71.3 million in letters of credit as of September 30, 2022. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance companies, due to the Company’s high deductible insurance program, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage and were increased from $37.2 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.
In order to comply with applicable debt covenants, the Company is required to maintain at all times a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00:1.00. The Leverage Ratio is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended. The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants through the date of this filing and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2022.
NOTE 10.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain interest rate risks on our outstanding debt and foreign currency risks arising from our international business operations and global economic conditions. The Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments to lock in certain interest rates, as well as to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the US dollar. We use foreign currency derivatives, specifically foreign currency forward contracts (“FX Forwards”), to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD and USD-AUD exchange rates. FX Forwards involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The FX Forwards are typically settled in US dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. We do not currently designate any of these FX Forwards under hedge accounting, but rather reflect the changes in fair value immediately in earnings. We do not use such instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but rather use them to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of FX Forwards were recorded in other income/expense and were equal to net gains of $1.0 million and net losses of $0.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and net gains of $1.1 million and net losses of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair values of the Company’s FX Forwards were recorded as a net asset of $0.8 million in Other Current Assets as of September 30, 2022 and an insignificant net obligation in Other Current Liabilities as of December 31, 2021, respectively.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had the following outstanding FX Forwards (in thousands except for number of instruments):

NOTE 11.CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in, and will continue to be involved in, various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, investigations, and regulatory and litigation matters relating to, and arising out of, our businesses and our operations. These matters may involve, but are not limited to, allegations that our
16
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 cases and claims from time to time, which may include claims on a representative or class action basis alleging wage and hour law violations. 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.
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.
Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, regulatory action or investigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.
NOTE 12.PENSION PLANS
In September 2019, the Company settled its fully-funded Rollins, Inc. pension plan, and during 2021, all remaining assets were reverted to the Company per ERISA regulations. The Company continues to sponsor its Waltham, Inc. defined benefit plan. This plan had assets of $2.2 million, a projected liability of $2.9 million and an unfunded status of $0.7 million as of September 30, 2022. The Company has not made any employer contributions to its Waltham defined benefit retirement plan in 2022.
NOTE 13.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid $147.6 million, or $0.30 per share, in cash dividends compared to $119.7 million, or $0.24 per share, during the same period in 2021.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and during the same period in 2021, the Company did not repurchase shares on the open market.
The Company repurchases shares from employees for the payment of their taxes on restricted shares that have vested. The Company repurchased $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $7.0 million and $10.6 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 14.EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to participating common stockholders by the weighted average number of participating common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to participating common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive equity.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 15.INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes is recorded on an interim basis based upon the Company’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year applied to “ordinary” income or loss, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $37.2 million and $33.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $90.8 million and $95.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 25.7% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 26.1% in 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 24.5% compared to 25.1% in 2021. The rate was lower due to a decrease in foreign taxes from 2021 to 2022.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred income tax assets of $2.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, included in other assets, and deferred income tax liabilities of $15.1 million and $13.3 million, respectively, included in other long-term accrued liabilities.
NOTE 16.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2021 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in this report and those discussed in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.
GENERAL OPERATING COMMENTS
Revenues for the quarter increased 12.2% percent to $729.7 million compared to $650.2 million for the prior year. Income before income taxes increased 14.0% to $144.8 million compared to $127.1 million the prior year. Net income increased 14.7% to $107.6 million, with earnings per diluted share of $0.22 compared to $93.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues increased 11.5% to $2.0 billion compared to $1.8 billion for the prior year. Income before income taxes decreased 2.5% to $371.2 million compared to $380.9 million the prior year. Net income decreased 1.7% to $280.4 million, with earnings per diluted share of $0.57 compared to $285.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share for the prior year.
As more fully discussed in the results of operations, our residential, commercial, and termite and ancillary services experienced double digit revenue percentage growth for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND OTHER ECONOMIC TRENDS
The global spread and unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) has created uncertainty and economic disruption around the world. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 and may again take actions that may alter our operations, including those that may be required by federal, state, or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and customers. We do not know when, or if, it will become practical to eliminate all of these measures entirely as there is no guarantee that COVID-19 will be fully contained.
In addition, continued disruption in economic markets due to high inflation, increased fuel costs, business interruptions due to natural disasters, employee shortages and supply chain issues, all pose challenges which may adversely affect our future performance. The Company continues to carry out various strategies previously implemented to help mitigate the impact of these economic disruptors, including revamping its routing and scheduling process to decrease the number of miles per stop, advanced scheduling to compensate for employee and vehicle shortages, shipping delays, and maintaining higher purchasing levels to allow for sufficient inventory. 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 COVID-19 and other economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the quarter have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and other economic trends. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The severity, magnitude and duration of certain economic trends, as well as the economic consequences of COVID-19, continue to be uncertain and are difficult to predict. Therefore, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19 and other economic trends and may change materially in future periods.
20
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The extent to which COVID-19, inflation and other economic trends will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations is highly uncertain. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the full future impacts of these matters at this time.

Revenue
Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $729.7 million, an increase of $79.5 million, or 12.2%, from third quarter 2021 revenues of $650.2 million. Revenue performance was strong in the third quarter despite a resurgence of COVID-19 that affected our business earlier in the quarter as well as the business interruption from Hurricane Ian that impacted the Southeast market in the latter part of the quarter. Comparing 2022 to 2021, residential pest control revenue increased 10%, commercial pest control revenue increased 11% and termite and ancillary services grew 19%. The Company’s revenue mix for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 consisted primarily of 46% residential pest control, 33% commercial pest control and 19% termite and ancillary revenues (such as moisture control, insulation, deck and gutter work). The Company’s foreign operations accounted for approximately 7% of total revenues for the third quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Revenues are impacted by 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 chart:

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cost of Services Provided
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, cost of services provided increased $42.7 million, or 14.0%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue cost of services increased to 47.7% from 47.0% in the prior year. Cost of services as a percent of revenue increased primarily due to an increase in the casualty reserve. The change in the casualty reserve was driven by a number of asserted auto claims that matured in the quarter. These claims can change from time to time and we either reached resolution or received additional information about the nature of the claim that provided a better estimation of the total liability associated with the claim in the quarter. We also saw a general increase in spending associated with people, materials and supplies and fleet costs, due to an increase in business activity albeit at a slower pace than revenue growth.
Sales, General and Administrative
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $19.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue SG&A decreased to 29.3% from 29.9% in the prior year. Despite investing in additional people, advertising and other customer facing activities to drive growth, we saw an improvement in SG&A as a percentage of sales as we continue to manage our cost structure. Although claims activity had an impact on SG&A, it had a lesser impact on SG&A than cost of services.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million, or 2.8%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to the additional amortization from acquisitions.
Operating Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, operating income increased $16.8 million, or 13.3%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue operating income increased to 19.7% from 19.5% in the prior year. Operating income increased due to an increase in revenue driven by double digit growth in all lines of service, despite a resurgence of COVID-19 that affected our productivity earlier in the quarter as well as the business interruption from Hurricane Ian that impacted the Southeast market in the latter part of the quarter. The improvement in revenue was partially offset by an increase in expenses associated with the casualty reserve as well as an increase in spending associated with people, advertising and customer facing activities.
Other Income, Net
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, other income increased $1.5 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to gains on asset sales.
Interest Expense, Net
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, interest expense, net increased $0.6 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the increase in the average debt balance and the increase in weighted average interest rates.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 25.7% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 26.1% in 2021. The rate was lower due to a decrease in foreign taxes from 2021 to 2022.

Revenue
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $2.0 billion, an increase of $210.5 million, or 11.5%, from 2021 revenues of $1.8 billion. Comparing 2022 to 2021, residential pest control revenue increased 10%, commercial pest control revenue increased 11% and termite and ancillary services grew 16%. The Company’s revenue mix for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted primarily of 45% residential pest control, 34% commercial pest control and 20% termite and ancillary revenues. The Company’s foreign operations accounted for approximately 7% and 8% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cost of Services Provided
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of services provided increased $115.4 million, or 13.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue cost of services increased to 48.2% from 47.4% in the prior year. Cost of Services increased due to an increase in the casualty reserve in the third quarter coupled with an increase in people costs, materials and supplies and fleet costs due to an increase in business activity.
Sales, General and Administrative
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $72.4 million, or 13.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue SG&A increased to 30.1% from 29.6% in the prior year. SG&A increased due primarily to an increase in people costs, advertising costs and fleet costs due to an increase in business activity.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, depreciation and amortization increased $2.9 million, or 4.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the additional amortization from several acquisitions.
23
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Operating Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, operating income increased $19.7 million, or 5.7%, compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue operating income decreased to 18.1% from 19.1% in the prior year. The increase in revenue was partially offset by an increase in expense associated with the casualty reserve in the third quarter coupled with an increase in spending associated with people, advertising, and fleet costs on the increased business activity.
Other Income, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income decreased $28.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the Company recognizing a $31.5 million gain in the prior year related to multiple sale-leaseback transactions where the Company sold and leased back properties that it acquired in 2019 with the Clark Pest Control acquisition.
Interest Expense, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense, net increased $1.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the increase in the average debt balance and the increase in weighted average interest rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Income Taxes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 24.5% compared to 25.1% in 2021. The rate was lower due to a decrease in foreign taxes from 2021 to 2022.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Flow
The Company’s $121.9 million of total cash at September 30, 2022 is primarily money market funds and cash held at various banking institutions. Approximately $65.4 million is held in cash accounts at international bank institutions and the remaining $56.5 million is primarily held in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured non-interest-bearing accounts at various domestic banks which at times exceed federally insured amounts.
The Company’s international business is expanding, and we intend to continue to grow the business in foreign markets in the future through reinvestment of foreign deposits and future earnings as well as acquisitions of unrelated companies. Repatriation of cash from the Company’s international subsidiaries is not a part of the Company’s current business plan.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $124.9 million under the Term Loan and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Commitment. The aggregate effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022 was 3.866%. The effective interest rate is comprised of the BSBY plus a margin of 75.0 basis points as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation. As of December 31, 2021, the Revolving Commitment had outstanding borrowings of $107.0 million and the Term Loan had outstanding borrowings of $48.0 million.
The Company maintains approximately $71.3 million in letters of credit as of September 30, 2022. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s insurance companies, due to the Company’s high deductible insurance program, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage and were increased from $37.2 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Rollins maintains adequate liquidity and capital resources, without regard to its foreign deposits, that are directed to finance domestic operations and obligations and to fund expansion of its domestic business. In order to comply with applicable debt covenants, the Company is required to maintain at all times a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00:1.00. The leverage ratio is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended. The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants at September 30, 2022 and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2022.
The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities, and available borrowings under its $175 million revolving credit facility and $300 million term loan facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future.
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine-month periods presented:

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 $342.5 million and $298.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $43.6 million increase was driven primarily by strong operating results and the timing of cash receipts and cash payments to vendors, employees, and tax and regulatory authorities.

Cash Provided by or Used in Financing Activities
Cash used by financing activities was $196.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to cash used of $284.7 million in the prior year. The Company made net debt repayments of $30.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net repayments of $135.0 million during 2021. A total of $147.6 million was paid in cash dividends ($0.30 per share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $119.7 million in cash dividends paid ($0.24 per share) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
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 are 16.9 million shares. The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market during the first nine months of 2022 nor during the same period in 2021. In total, 11.4 million additional shares may be purchased under the share repurchase program. The Company repurchased $7.0 million and $10.6 million of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, from employees for the payment of taxes on vesting restricted shares.
CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in, and will continue to be involved in, various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, investigations, 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 cases and claims from time to time, which may include claims on a representative or class action basis alleging wage and hour law violations. We are also involved from time to time in certain environmental and tax matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We evaluate pending and threatened claims and establish loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes we currently believe to be probable and reasonably estimable.
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.
26
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, regulatory action or investigation, either alone or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties concerning the business and financial results of Rollins, Inc. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the operating results and financial condition of our business. Such forward looking-statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:
● | 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, either alone or in the aggregate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, or liquidity, financial condition and results of operations; |
● | the Company’s evaluation of pending and threatened claims and establishment of loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes it currently believes to be probable and reasonably estimable; |
● | the Company’s reasonable certainty that it will exercise the renewal options on its operating leases; |
● | 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 $175.0 million revolving credit facility and $300.0 million term loan facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future; |
● | the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with applicable debt covenants under the Credit Facility throughout 2022; |
● | the Company’s belief that the adoption of ASU 2022-02 and ASU 2022-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; |
● | the Company’s ability to continue the purchase of Company common stock when appropriate; |
● | risks related to the Company’s ability to continue to grow its business in foreign markets in the future through reinvestment of foreign deposits and future earnings as well as acquisitions of unrelated companies and that repatriation of cash from the company’s foreign subsidiaries is not a part of the Company’s current business plan; |
● | the Company’s expectation that total unrecognized compensation cost related to time-lapse restricted shares will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.7 years; |
27
ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
● | the Company’s expectation that the acquisition-related goodwill recognized during the quarter will be deductible for tax purposes; |
● | the Company’s conclusion that there are no impairments of its goodwill or other intangible assets; |
● | the Company’s belief that the factors contributing to the amount of goodwill are based on strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized; |

● | the Company’s belief that foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations going forward; |
● | the Company’s belief that recent disruptions in economic markets due to high inflation, increased fuel costs, and supply chain issues, all pose current and future challenges which may adversely affect the Company’s future performance; |
● | that the Company cannot reasonably estimate whether its current strategies will help mitigate the impact of high inflation, increased fuel costs, employee and vehicle shortages, shipping delays and supply chain issues in the 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; and |
● | the Company’s belief that it will continue to be involved in various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, investigations, and regulatory and litigation matters relating to, and arising out of, its businesses and its operations. |

The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
