Rollins, Inc.

The filings show a company whose reported profits and revenue have grown steadily, with the forensic scores broadly supportive of that picture. The Beneish M-Score is -2.699, which is below -1.78 and therefore not in the elevated manipulation-risk zone; this is a screening measure, and a result below that threshold means the model did not flag the financials, not that they are verified. The Altman Z-Score variant for non-manufacturers is 2.48, which falls in the grey zone between 1.10 and 2.60, an intermediate band rather than a clear signal either way. The Piotroski F-Score is 6 of 8 computable signals. Operating cash flow was 1.29 times net income for 2025, which is a constructive relationship, yet the first quarter of 2026 shows the ratio moving the other way. Goodwill was $1.38 billion and customer contracts $392.0 million at March 31, 2026, and the 10-Q states that purchase price allocations for acquisitions remain provisional and subject to adjustment, so readers may want to look at how those valuations change. On legal matters, the 10-Q describes a voluntary FTC Consent Order restricting certain employment non-compete covenants, which management does not expect to have a material impact, and it notes ongoing exposure to California Private Attorneys General Act claims and wage-and-hour matters. Total liabilities were $1.78 billion against equity of $1.38 billion at March 31, 2026. Readers may want to look at whether the tax and debt trends noted in the quarter persist in future filings.

Catalyst.Revenue rose to $3.76 billion in 2025 from $3.39 billion in 2024, an 11.0% increase, and net income reached $526.71 million. The MD&A says management believes demand remains favorable and that the company is well positioned to deliver strong results in 2026. It also cites a healthy acquisition pipeline and the Saela acquisition, which it says will expand the Rollins family of brands. In the first quarter of 2026, customer services revenue was $906.4 million, up from $822.5 million a year earlier, and operating income was $145.5 million compared with $142.6 million.

Hidden risk.First-quarter 2026 operating cash flow fell to $118.4 million from $146.9 million a year earlier, even though net income rose slightly to $107.8 million. Cash paid for income taxes rose to $42.5 million from $5.9 million, and management expects the timing of tax and interest payments to moderate. Short-term debt increased to $163.9 million from $123.7 million at year-end 2025, including $49.5 million of net commercial paper borrowings. Separately, the 10-Q says accrued insurance reserves rely on estimates that could prove insufficient, which could materially affect operating results.
