Rollins, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. stated, "We are pleased to have reported improved financial results for both the quarter and first half of 2014.  We are particularly proud of our significant revenue to profit conversion that we achieved during this time period. This improvement was attributable to our favorable termite and casualty claim development and good cost control across most expense categories.  Our marketing and sales program initiatives continue to contribute, although service demand was disappointing."
