Rollins, Inc. Reports Positive First Quarter Financial Results

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Rollins, Inc. (NYSE:ROL), a premier North American consumer and commercial services company, today reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Revenues grew 4.4% to $210.1 million compared to $201.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Company recorded net income of $13.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $12.8 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

On January 23, 2008, Rollins, Inc. approved a 25% increase in the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.0625. Also in the first quarter, the Company announced that it repurchased 236,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $17.09 per share. In total, approximately 778,000 additional shares may be purchased under previous authorization by the Board of Directors.

Commenting on the Company's results, Gary W. Rollins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rollins, Inc. said, "We were pleased with our revenue improvement in the first quarter. Commercial sales, which significantly increased in the fourth quarter, continued to be strong in our first quarter. This quarter is not a high volume quarter for Residential Pest Control and Termite Control due to the small amount of pest activity. As the weather warms, these businesses will gain momentum.

"On April 3, 2008, we completed the acquisition of HomeTeam Pest Defense, a subsidiary of Centex Corporation (NYSE:CTX) for a cash payment of approximately $137 million. HomeTeam recorded pest control revenues of $134 million for the twelve months completed March 31, 2007. HomeTeam has 50 offices in 13 states, is the nation's third largest residential pest management company and performs services for approximately 400,000 customers coast to coast. This acquisition provides significant opportunity for Rollins to leverage HomeTeam's proprietary technology and new home marketing expertise to more markets throughout the U.S. The purchase of HomeTeam will provide us with an entry into a new business channel, and provide our company a meaningful opportunity for longer term growth. We look forward to working with this great team of professionals, and will benefit from their talent and experience."

Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Orkin, Inc., PCO Services, Rollins HomeTeam, Western Pest Services, and The Industrial Fumigant Company, the Company provides essential pest control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to approximately 2.1 million customers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia from over 500 locations.
