ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rollins, Inc. (NYSE: ROL), a premier North American consumer and commercial services company, today reported unaudited financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company recorded fourth quarter revenues of $279.9 million, an increase of 7.8% over the prior year's fourth quarter revenue of $259.6 million.  Net income increased 23.0% to $19.2 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $15.6 million or $0.10 per diluted share for the same period in 2009 excluding certain charges described below.  

Revenues for the full year 2010 rose 5.9% to $1.137 billion compared to $1.074 billion for the prior year.  Rollins' net income for the full year rose 13.0% to $90.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to net income of $79.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share for the prior year excluding certain charges described below.  

GAAP earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2009 were $20.0 million or $0.13 per diluted share and $84.0 million or $0.56 per diluted share respectively.

Gary W. Rollins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. stated, "Once more, the Rollins family of pest control companies has exceeded our 2010 major objectives.  We are pleased to have delivered solid financial results for the fourth quarter and for the year.  These results reflect the underlying strength of our business and our initiatives to benefit our customers, employees, and shareholders."

Reported results for fourth quarter 2009 as previously disclosed, include a tax benefit related to the conversion of Orkin to a limited liability company, net of cost associated with a Canadian restructuring and repatriation of cash in 2009, and an impairment charge, which combined increased reported fourth quarter 2009 earnings by a net $0.03 per diluted share.
