CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties concerning the business and financial results of Rollins, Inc. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the operating results and financial condition of our business. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. In addition to those factors discussed under Item 1A., "Risk Factors," of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), for the year ended December 31, 2020, the reader should consider the following list of general factors that, among others, could cause the Company's actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition: the Company's belief that its accounting estimates and assumptions, financial condition and results of operations may change materially in future periods in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the outcomes of any pending claim, proceeding, litigation, regulatory action or investigation filed against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; the Company's evaluation of pending and threatened claims and establishment of loss contingency reserves based upon outcomes it currently believes to be probable and reasonably estimable; the Company's reasonable certainty that it will exercise the renewal options on its operating leases; risks related to the Company's belief that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings under its $175.0 million revolving credit facility and $250.0 million term loan facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future; the Company's ability to remain in compliance with applicable debt covenants under the Credit Facility throughout 2021; the Company's expectation that it will continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors; the Company's ability to continue the purchase of Company common stock when appropriate; risks related to the Company's ability to continue to grow its business in foreign markets in the future through reinvestment of foreign deposits and future earnings as well as acquisitions of unrelated companies and that repatriation of cash from the company's foreign subsidiaries is not a part of the Company's current business plan; the Company's ability to fund any remaining 2021 benefit plan obligations with reversion of any remaining pension assets to the Company in compliance with ERISA regulations during 2021; the Company's expectation that total unrecognized compensation cost related to time-lapse restricted shares will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4.5 years; the Company's expectation that the acquisition-related goodwill recognized during the quarter will be deductible for tax purposes;  the Company's intention that its floating-to-fixed interest rate swap for an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million ($20.0 million as of June 30, 2021) in order to hedge a portion of the Company's floating rate indebtedness under the Credit Facility remains effective; the Company's belief that foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations going forward; the Company's belief that it maintains adequate liquidity and capital resources that are directed to finance domestic operations and obligations and to fund expansion of its domestic business for the foreseeable future without regard to its foreign deposits; the Company's belief that it will continue to be involved in, various claims, arbitrations, contractual disputes, investigations, and regulatory and litigation matters relating to, and arising out of, its businesses and its operations; the Company's belief that the ongoing SEC investigation is primarily focused on how it established accruals and reserves at period-ends and the impact of those accruals and reserves on reported earnings, and the Company's inability to predict the outcome of the SEC investigation; the Company's belief, after consultation with the Audit Committee and independent counsel, that its financial statements filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for the relevant periods under SEC investigation fairly present in all material respects its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of their respective balance sheet dates and for the periods then ended; actions taken by our franchisees, subcontractors or vendors that may harm our business; exposure of certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including fluctuation in interest rates and foreign currency exchange fluctuations; risks related to changes in industry practices or technologies; significant disruption in, or breach in security of our information technology systems or one of our third-party IT providers, and resultant interruptions in service or the loss of functionality of critical systems through ransomware and any related impact on our reputation; risks related to the level of success of the Company's termite process and pest control selling and treatment methods; damage to our brands or reputation; our ability to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights;  the Company's ability to identify and successfully integrate potential acquisitions; climate and weather conditions; competitive factors and pricing practices; our ability to attract and retain skilled workers, and potential increases in labor costs; risks related to legal, regulatory and risk management matters including risks related to the ongoing SEC investigation; and the existence of certain anti-takeover provisions in our governance documents, which could make a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by the Company's Board of Directors more difficult or expensive.

APPENDIX

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS in today's earnings release.  These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, earnings per share or other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses adjusted net income and adjusted EPS as a measure of operating performance because it allows it to compare performance consistently over various periods without regard to the impact of the property disposition gains.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS with net income, the most comparable GAAP measure.

(unaudited in thousands except EPS)
