What Happened?
On July 22, 2026, Rollins announced second quarter earnings for fiscal year 2026. Among other things, the Company reported its quarterly operating margin was 18.7%, a decrease of 110 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025, and its operating cash flow was $173 million for the quarter, a decrease of 1.5% compared to the prior year.

In the accompanying earnings call, Rollins CEO, Jerry Gahlhoff, admitted “second quarter results did not meet our expectations,” in part because “the lead environment got progressively worse as we moved through the quarter.” Gahlhoff further admitted “we just had fewer people year-over-year, actively searching the digital channel for pest control needs. That's the conclusion that we came to that it just seemed fewer."

On this news, shares of Rollins fell $4.03 or 9.27%, to close at $39.44 on July 23, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

Management Commentary

"Our second quarter results fell short of our expectations due to slower growth in parts of our residential pest control business, specifically brands more reliant on consumer-initiated demand through search, digital media and inbound calls, as lead volume declined in the quarter. Meanwhile, areas of the business that leverage relationship-based channels, such as home builders and door-to-door sales, delivered solid organic 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," said Jerry Gahlhoff, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Demand trends softened during the quarter, while our cost structure remained positioned for a stronger growth environment entering peak season. As a result, our margin performance was below our expectations. 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. Despite near-term challenges, our balance sheet remains strong, cash flow generation is healthy, and we have significant flexibility to reinvest in our business through our disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation," said Will Harkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

APPENDIX

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 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.

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 earnings release:

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, Saela Pest Control and Romex 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, Saela Pest Control and Romex 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, Saela Pest Control and Romex 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 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 and 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.

Management uses free cash flow conversion to demonstrate how much net income is converted into cash. Management believes that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's liquidity. 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 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 as a measure that provides supplemental information to our condensed 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, Saela Pest Control and Romex 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.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Key Takeaways Rollins will report Q2 results on July 22, with revenues expected to rise 9.8% y/y.Residential and commercial growth is expected from acquisitions, market expansion and vertical wins.Termite and ancillary revenues are seen up 13.3%, while EPS is expected to grow 13.3% to 34 cents. Rollins, Inc. (ROL - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 22, after the closing bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters, matched once and missed once, delivering an earnings surprise of 1.4%, on average.

Q2 Expectations for ROLThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.1 million. The metric is expected to rise 9.8% year over year.

Based on the line of business, we expect revenues to improve across all segments. For residential, the consensus mark for revenues is pinned at $494.3 million, suggesting a 8.5% year-over-year gain.

Growth in this segment is likely to have been driven by the Romex Pest Control buyout, an expanded footprint into new markets and the combination of flagship brands with strong regional residential brands, supporting residential consumers' wins.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for commercial revenues is set at $351.8 million. The metric is anticipated to increase 9.8% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Market expansion facilitated by commercial account managers and vertical wins is anticipated to have driven this segment’s revenue growth.

The consensus estimate for termite and ancillary revenues is kept at $240.1 million, improving 13.3% year over year. This expected growth can be attributed to the company’s “9 shots on goal” strategy. This strategy moved experienced sales leadership to non-Orkin brands, bolstering cross-selling outside the flagship brand.

On a geographic basis, revenues from the United States and other countries are expected to improve substantially. The consensus estimate for the United States and other countries is $1 billion and $78.3 million, respectively. Revenues from the United States are expected to increase 9.5% from the year-ago quarter’s actual, while for other countries the increase is expected to be 8.9%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pinned at 34 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 13.3%. The bottom line is expected to have moved up on the back of top-line growth, combined with price increases ahead of the consumer price index and price/cost for the year at the level of price realization.

What Our Model SaysOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ROL this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

ROL currently has an Earnings ESP of -2.94% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Stocks to ConsiderHere are a few stocks from the broader Construction sector, which, according to our model, have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings this season.

Johnson Controls International plc (JCI - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.85% and a Zacks Rank of 2. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

The company is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2026 results on July 29.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for JCI’s third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $6.4 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 6.2%. For earnings, the consensus mark is pegged at $1.32 per share, implying a 25.7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. JCI beat the consensus estimate in the trailing four reported quarters, the average earnings surprise being 5.6%.

CRH (CRH - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +4.08% and a Zacks Rank of 3. The company is scheduled to announce second-quarter 2026 results on July 30.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CRH’s second-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $10.7 billion, indicating 4.6% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.96 per share, implying a marginal year-over-year increase. CRH beat the consensus estimate in two of the past four quarters, missed once and met once, delivering an average earnings surprise of 0.7%.

"Insect 2151" Challenges Teens to Reimagine the Future Through Insect-Inspired Innovation, Offering $180,000 in Scholarships and Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators

, /PRNewswire/ -- As Orkin marks 125 years of helping people better understand and manage pests, the company is launching the Orkin Insect 2151 Science Fair. The national virtual competition challenges students ages 14-18 to explore entomology and imagine how insect-inspired ideas could help solve real-world challenges over the next 125 years. Born out of Orkin's 125th anniversary and vision for the future, the competition encourages students to explore how insect science can inspire tomorrow's innovations in ways they may never have imagined. Orkin will award $180,000 in scholarship awards to the winning science fair projects.

"Through Insect 2151, we want to encourage young people to think like scientists, ask bold questions and explore how nature's oldest innovators can inspire the future," said Shannon Sked, Orkin's National Technical Director. "By imagining how the world will continue to change through 2151, participants are preparing for challenges that may not fully exist today but are already beginning to take shape. In doing so, they gain exposure to the study of entomology, which will remain essential as long as people, businesses and communities need protection from pests, and the many ways insect science intersects with emerging fields that will help shape our future."

According to a recent YouGov survey commissioned by Orkin, 44% of teens describe feeling curious about insects, and 50% of teens say they are interested in learning more, while 55% of parents of teens agree. However, many teens' experiences with insects are limited to practical encounters, such as having pests removed from their home, and only 12% of parents say their child has learned a great deal about insects in school. Orkin is launching Insect 2151 at a time when curiosity about insects can fade or compete with other interests as students grow older and begin focusing on hobbies and potential career paths.

Survey results also suggest interest in insects hasn't disappeared; rather, students may need new ways to connect with the subjects and careers that capture their attention today. The Insect 2151 Science Fair is designed to help make those connections, showing how insect science can inspire innovation across fields ranging from robotics and artificial intelligence to environmental stewardship, public health, design and sustainability. While relatively few respondents expressed specific interest in entomology careers, many are drawn to fields that increasingly intersect with modern insect science.

"For 125 years, Orkin has helped educate people about insects and supported the advancement of entomological science," said Dr. Daniel Suiter, Orkin Endowed Professor of Urban Entomology at the University of Georgia. "Insects have inspired breakthroughs in technology, engineering and design through biomimicry, from mosquito-inspired needles and sharkskin-inspired materials to the swarm intelligence of ants and the natural temperature regulation found in termite mounds. By challenging students to imagine the future through an entomological lens, the Insect 2151 Science Fair highlights how insect science can spark curiosity, innovation and discovery."

Today's insect scientists are indeed already helping shape the future. By combining entomology with fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, predictive analytics and engineering, they are contributing to solutions for some of society's most complex challenges, from public health and food security to sustainability and infrastructure design. To help transform curiosity into discovery, Orkin invites students across the country to participate in the Insect 2151 Science Fair.

CONTEST DETAILS

To enter, students ages 14-18 must:

Choose an area of interest such as technology, sports and health, arts and design, entertainment or environmental sciences. Select an insect that inspires them. Develop a scientific question about that insect. Gather evidence through research, observation, experimentation or design. Create an original insect-inspired concept, design or prototype. Record and submit a video presentation of three minutes or less explaining their idea and its potential impact. A total of $180,000 in scholarship prizes will be awarded to the top presentations submitted.

First Place: $100,000 scholarship Second Place: $40,000 scholarship Third Place: $20,000 scholarship Four Honorable Mentions: $5,000 scholarships each The first-place winner will also receive an invitation to join Orkin in Washington, D.C. during the opening of a new visitor experience at the O. Orkin Insect Zoo at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, which Orkin is generously supporting.

Parents or guardians must submit entries on behalf of minors. Complete contest rules, eligibility requirements and submission details are available at orkininsect2151.com.

The Insect 2151 Science Fair builds on Orkin's long history of supporting education and advancing insect science. Since 2023, the company has endowed the Orkin Professorship in Urban Entomology at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences in order to support research that impacts the entire industry. As Orkin celebrates 125 years, the company continues to invest in the next generation of scientific thinkers whose ideas may help shape the future of entomology, innovation and pest management.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Rollins (ROL - Free Report) Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Rollins provides pest and termite control services to residential and commercial customers. The company offers protection against termite damage, insects, and rodents to homes and businesses, including food manufacturers, food service establishments, hotels, transportation companies, and retailers.

ROL is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

Momentum investors should take note of this Business Services stock. ROL has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 5.5% over the past four weeks.

Two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.00 to $1.24 per share. ROL boasts an average earnings surprise of +1.4%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, ROL should be on investors' short list.

TORONTO, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

With spring here, homeowners across Canada may begin noticing increased ant activity in and around their homes. While many ants are harmless, experts warn that carpenter ants are one pest that should never be ignored.

Often mistaken for common household ants, carpenter ants can indicate hidden moisture issues or wood damage. In regions across the country - where fluctuating temperatures, humidity, and aging housing stock are common - infestations can go unnoticed until significant structural damage has already occurred.

According to Orkin Canada, the country’s leading pest control provider, homeowners can reduce the risk of carpenter ant infestations by:

Eliminating moisture sources: Fix leaks in roofs, basements and plumbing, as carpenter ants are drawn to damp or decaying wood.Sealing entry points: Repair cracks and gaps around doors, windows and foundations to limit access.Clearing wood debris: Store firewood, lumber and decaying wood away from the home’s exterior.Trimming vegetation: Keep trees and shrubs from touching the house, which can act as a bridge indoors.Watching for warning signs: Wood shavings, winged ants or faint rustling sounds inside walls can all indicate carpenter ant activity.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier global consumer and commercial services company, today announced that Kenneth D. Krause, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will resign to pursue an opportunity with a company in an unrelated industry, effective June 15, 2026. To support an orderly transition, Mr. Krause has agreed to a transition services agreement to advise the Company during a transition period. The Company also announced that William W.

Since joining Rollins in 2022, Mr. Krause has made substantial contributions to the Company. During his tenure, he has advanced efforts to modernize the business, optimized the capital structure, increased investor transparency, and led several key capital markets transactions. These efforts, coupled with exceptional execution by the entire Rollins team, have grown the Company's market capitalization by more than fifty percent, while the dividend has increased more than eighty percent since 2022. The Board and management team are grateful for Mr. Krause's leadership, judgment, and many contributions to Rollins, and appreciate his willingness to continue supporting the Company during the transition period.

Rollins, Inc. (ROL) Presents at 46th Annual William Blair Growth Stock Conference Transcript

Key Takeaways Rollins shares fell 18.5% in a year, outperforming the industry's decline of 19.7%.ROL expects revenues to grow 10.1% y/y in 2026 and 9.3% in 2027, with double-digit earnings gains.Rollins' acquisitions, tech investments and dividends support growth despite margin and debt pressures. Shares of Rollins (ROL - Free Report) have dipped 18.5% in a year compared with the industry’s 19.7% plunge.

ROL’s revenues in 2026 and 2027 are expected to increase 10.1% and 9.3% year over year, respectively. Earnings are anticipated to rise 10.7% in 2026 and 12.1% in 2027.

Factors That Augur Well for ROL’s SuccessBuyouts Fueling Growth: Rollins disciplined and strategic M&A approach has allowed it to strengthen market share, enter new regions and diversify its service offerings. With an impressive 26 buyouts completed in 2025, following 44 in 2024 and 24 in 2023, Rollins has consistently demonstrated its ability to identify and integrate valuable targets. These acquisitions not only drive revenue growth but also create synergies, operational efficiencies and new customer relationships that enhance long-term shareholder value. 

Tech Boosts Operations: ROL uses technology strategically to boost operational efficiency, improve customer experience and drive cost savings — all of which support sustainable growth. Through targeted investments in digital tools like BOSS, VRM, Orkin 2.0, BizSuite and InSite, Rollins has transformed how it manages its field operations, customer interactions and sales processes. In a traditionally labor-intensive industry, Rollins stands out as a tech-forward player, appealing to investors seeking stable returns with long-term growth potential.

Dividends Attract Investors: The company paid out dividends of $264.3 million, $298 million and $327.9 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. A continued dividend underscores the company's commitment to its shareholders and underlines its business confidence. It is highly motivating for income-seeking investors.

Risks Faced by RollinsSpending Affecting Margins: Rollins’ spending on customer acquisition, salesforce expansion and marketing initiatives over the past few years has increased to drive top-line growth and bolster its competitive positioning. However, it has affected profitability, as evidenced by a dip in the adjusted operating income margin to 16.9%, reflecting a 100-basis-point year-over-year decline during the first quarter of 2026.

High Interest Expenses:  As of the end of 2025, ROL’s goodwill accounted for $1.4 billion, representing approximately 44% of the total assets. Since goodwill is an intangible asset, it cannot be leveraged to meet short-term obligations or reduce long-term debt. To finance many of these buyouts, Rollins has taken on substantial debt, which has increased interest expenses, putting pressure on profitability.
