ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
( c ) Exhibits.
(99.1) The Registrant's Press Release dated April 28, 2004.
ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The information provided pursuant to this Item 12 is to be considered "filed"
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and incorporated by
reference into those filings of Rollins, Inc (the "Company") that provide for
the incorporation of all reports and documents filed by the Company under the
Exchange Act.
On July 28, 2004, the Company issued a press release announcing its results for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Company hereby incorporates by reference
herein the information set forth in its Press Release dated April 28, 2004, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Except as otherwise provided
in the press release, the press release speaks only as of the date of such press
release and such press release shall not create any implication that the affairs
of the Company have continued unchanged since such date.
Except for the historical information contained in this report, the statements
made by the Company are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. All such statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's future financial
performance could differ significantly from the expectations of management and
from results expressed or implied in the Press Release. See the risk factors
contained in the Press Release for a discussion of certain risks and
uncertainties that may impact such forward looking statements. For further
information on other risk factors, please refer to the "Risk Factors" contained
in the Company's Form 10-K filed March 15, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify
these forward-looking statements.
Included in Exhibit 99.1, as attached, are the following non-GAAP financial
measures:
o Net Income, Excluding Gain on Sale of Assets*
o Income Before Income Taxes, Excluding Gain on Sale of Assets*
o Earnings Per Share, Excluding Gain on Sale of Assets*
o Revenue, Excluding the Acquisition of Western**
A reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is
contained in the attached press release.
* These adjustments are presented and deemed useful by management because the
gain on sale of assets, which occurred in the second quarter of 2004, is a
non-recurring, non-operating adjustment. In order to present net income, income
before taxes and earnings per share on a comparable basis to the prior year, the
gain is excluded from the calculation. Failure to exclude the gain could mislead
investors as to the magnitude of the increases in the Company's 2004 net income,
income before income taxes and earnings per share relative to prior periods.
** Revenue, excluding the acquisition of Western is presented and deemed useful
by management because failure to exclude the Western revenue could mislead
investors as to the magnitude of the increase in 2004 revenues relative to prior
year periods. Prior year numbers do not include the Western acquisition, as it
was completed on April 30, 2004.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
