Long-term Debt
2035 Senior Notes
In February 2025, we issued ten-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million due on February 24, 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. We issued the 2035 Senior Notes at 98.443% of par, representing a discount of $7.8 million, and paid approximately $5.4 million for debt issuance costs. The interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 24 and
August 24 of each year at 5.25% per annum, beginning on August 24, 2025, and the entire principal amount is due at the time of maturity. We used the net proceeds from this offering primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, as well as for general corporate purposes.
The 2035 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and, at the time of issuance, were guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries that were guarantors under its Revolving Credit Facility, provided for by the Credit Agreement defined below. Subsequent to the issuance of the 2035 Senior Notes, and described further below, we amended our Credit Agreement to release the Company's subsidiaries as guarantors.
The indenture governing the 2035 Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur liens and certain types of indebtedness. The indenture also provides for customary events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding 2035 Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. We were in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2025.
The effective interest rate of our 2035 Senior Notes was 5.6% as of March 31, 2025.
Revolving Credit Facility
In February 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with, among others, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
In March 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No 1”), among the Company, JPMorgan Chase, and the lenders party thereto, which amended the Credit Agreement with, among others, the Company and the Administrative Agent. The Amendment No. 1, among other things, released each of Orkin, LLC, Northwest Exterminating Co., LLC, Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc. and Hometeam Pest Defense, Inc. (collectively, the “Existing Guarantors”) as guarantors under the Credit Agreement. Following the release of the Existing Guarantors from their guarantees of the obligations under the Credit Agreement, no subsidiary of the Company guarantees the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars and other currencies, subject to a $400 million foreign currency sublimit. Rollins has the ability to expand its borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in the form of increased revolving commitments or one or more tranches of term loans by up to an additional $750 million, subject to the agreement of the participating lenders and certain other customary conditions. The maturity date of the loans under the Credit Agreement is February 24, 2028.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at Rollins’ election, at (i) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, (A) an alternate base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%), which is the greatest of (x) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase, (y) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York overnight bank funding rate, plus 50 basis points, and (z) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; or (B) the greater of term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus 10 basis points (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) and zero, plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum based on Rollins’ consolidated total net leverage ratio; and (ii) for loans denominated in other currencies, such interest rates as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, certain financial covenants including covenants restricting Rollins’ ability to incur certain indebtedness or liens, or to merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of its assets to another entity. Further, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant restricting Rollins’ ability to permit the ratio of Rollins’ consolidated total net debt to EBITDA to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Following certain acquisitions, Rollins may elect to increase the financial covenant level to 4.00 to 1.00 temporarily. The Company is in compliance with applicable debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $397.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Short-term Debt
Commercial Paper Program
In March 2025, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a total of $1 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. The net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
Letters of Credit
The Company maintained $82.4 million in letters of credit as of March 31, 2025 and $72.0 million as of December 31, 2024. 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. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate potential future insurance claims.
