FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

ROLLINS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Company posts 28th consecutive quarter of improved earnings results

 

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 24, 2013: Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier North American consumer and commercial services company, today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Revenues grew 3.5% to $299.7 million compared to $289.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

The Company recorded net income of $23.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $23.1 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the same period in 2012.  On January 22, 2013, Rollins also increased its regular quarterly cash dividend to shareholders 12.5% to $0.09 per share.

 

Gary W. Rollins, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. stated, “Our residential and commercial pest control sales start accelerating as the weather warms and pest activity increases.  In this regard, the first quarter of 2013 was disappointing, as it was the coldest with the greatest snow fall, in decades.  We were pleased to be able to report an increase in revenue however.  This was particularly gratifying having come off of a record first quarter in 2012 when the weather was the warmest in over a century.  Frankly, this was the most dramatic year-to-year weather reversal that we’ve ever experienced.  Profits were negatively impacted from being staffed for the anticipated revenue the first quarter.  We did maintain our record of profit increases with a modest improvement over 2012.”

 

Mr. Rollins, concluded, “Spring has finally sprung and we are very excited about the opportunities we have for each of our businesses through the balance of the year.   We are well positioned to achieve solid revenue growth with improved earnings and strong cash flows.  Thankfully, the bugs always come back.”
