FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROLLINS, INC.
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
REVENUES INCREASED 4.5%, EPS ROSE 12%
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, October 24, 2007 -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier North American consumer and commercial services company, today reported revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 grew 4.5% to $238.1 million compared to $227.8 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Net income rose 10.1% to a record $18.8 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the third quarter 2007, compared to $17.0 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the same period in 2006.
Commenting on the Companys results, Gary W. Rollins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. said, We are pleased by the increased rate of organic revenue growth for the quarter. Our sales and service programs are working and have resulted in improvements in both recurring revenues and customer retention. Commercial pest control, which now represents 44% of our business, continued to accelerate during the second quarter and we expect this area to perform well going forward.
We continued to expand our footprint globally this quarter having announced two international franchises: one in the Dominican Republic and another in South Korea. We have established four international franchises this year and expect to continue to develop our worldwide presence. Likewise, the Companys strong free cash flow supports our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities. We remain optimistic about having a successful 2007.
Rollins, Inc. is a premier North American consumer and commercial services company. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Orkin, Inc., PCO Services, Western Pest Services, and The Industrial Fumigant Company, the Company provides essential pest control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to approximately 1.7 million customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, the United Arab Emirates, the Dominican Republic and South Korea from over 400 locations.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include the Companys expectation that its commercial pest control area will perform well going forward, the Companys expectation to continue to develop its worldwide presence, and the Companys continuing optimism about having a very successful 2007. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, general economic conditions; market risk; changes in industry practices or technologies; the degree of success of the Companys pest and termite process reforms and pest control selling and treatment methods; the Companys ability to identify and integrate potential acquisitions; climate and weather trends; competitive factors and pricing practices; expected benefits of the commercial re-engineering project may not be realized; potential increases in labor costs; uncertainties of litigation; and changes in various government laws and regulations, including environmental regulations. All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing the Company can be found in the Companys Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2006.
