NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND OTHER
Basis of Preparation -The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. There has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rollins, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2018 other than updates related to Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) as noted below. Accordingly, the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions for the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the Company makes estimates in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the termite accrual, which includes future costs including termiticide life expectancy and government regulations, the insurance accrual, which includes self-insurance and worker's compensation, inventory adjustments, discounts and volume incentives earned, among others.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial results for the interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
The Company
has only
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Accounting Policy for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company's objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB's fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently adopted accounting standards
The Company
adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and did not restate comparative
periods as permitted by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. We have elected the transition package of practical
expedients, which permitted us not to reassess our prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and
initial direct cost. Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities of $
The Company adopted ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (ASC 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act”). The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019 and elected not to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), which provides new guidance intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This ASU was adopted by the Company in 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards to be adopted in 2020 or later
In June of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments not accounted for at fair value through net income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on the current Step 1). The standard in this update is effective for the Company's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning in 2020. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The updated accounting guidance modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements. The standard in this update is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning in 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5. CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, certain of the Company's subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits, claims or arbitrations which allege that the subsidiaries' services caused damage. In addition, the Company defends employment related cases and claims from time to time. We are involved in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We are actively contesting each of these matters.
Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters, however unlikely, could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values.
At September 30, the Company had $21.0 million of earnout liability with the former owners of acquired companies. The earnouts were discounted on the Company's books at $21.0 million and are considered level 3 liabilities. The table below presents a summary of the changes in fair value for level 3 assets and liabilities.

NOTE 8. LEASES
The Company leases certain buildings, vehicles, and equipment in order to reduce the risk associated with ownership. The Company elected the practical expedient approach permitted under ASC 842 not to include short-term leases with a duration of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, all leases were classified as operating leases. Building leases generally carry terms of 5 to 10 years with annual rent escalations at fixed amounts per the lease. Vehicle leases generally carry a fixed term of one year with renewal options to extend the lease on a monthly basis resulting in lease terms up to 5 years depending on the class of vehicle. The exercise of renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. It is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal options on its vehicle leases. The measurement of right-of-use assets and liabilities for vehicle leases includes the fixed payments associated with such renewal periods. We separate lease and nonlease components of contracts. Our lease agreements do not contain any material variable payments, residual value guarantees, early termination penalties or restrictive covenants.
The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease when available; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Accordingly, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement.

NOTE 11. PENSION AND POST RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN
During
September 2019, the Company settled its fully-funded pension plan through a combination of lump sum payments to
participants, payments to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and the purchase of a group annuity contract. With
the completed funding of the plan payout settlements, the Company had approximately $31.8 million of pension assets
remaining. The remaining assets were the result of the funded status of the plan, higher take rate of lump sum payment
election by participants and optimal pricing of the group annuity contract. The Company has evaluated the ERISA allowable
opportunities for utilization of the excess pension assets including funding other employee benefits. The Company used $5.2
million of the $31.8 million to fund its 401(k) match obligation during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and plans to
continue funding future benefit plan obligations, with a possible reversion of any remaining pension assets to the Company
per ERISA regulations. The Company recognized a $49.9 million non-cash pension settlement expense from this transition, which
is the accounting treatment of the accumulated sum of unrealized losses due to change in actuarial assumptions over the life
of the plan. Net of tax, the expense was $26.6 million. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $

The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to determine the allocation of the purchase price to Goodwill and identifiable Intangible assets. The preliminary valuation resulted in the allocation of $191.9 million to goodwill, $112.7 million to customer contracts, and $49.8 million to other intangible assets, principally tradenames. The Company is in the process of analyzing the estimated values of assets and liabilities acquired, evaluating third-party valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets and finalizing its operating plans and, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to material revision in its future financial statements. The finite-lived intangible assets, principally customer contracts, are being amortized over periods principally ranging from 5 to 10 years on a straight-lined basis.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. To manage this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments from time to time. Certain of the Company's foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company's cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company's functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments from time to time to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the cash flows associated with existing unsecured variable rate debt.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is
recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense/income in the same
period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge
components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in earnings recognized over the life of
the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company's accounting
policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in interest expense/income. Amounts reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense/income as interest
payments are made/received on the Company's variable-rate debt/assets. During 2019, the Company estimates that an additional

Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company uses foreign currency derivatives, specifically vanilla foreign currency forwards, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD and AUD-USD exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in U.S. dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date.
The Company
does not currently designate any of these foreign exchange forwards under hedge accounting, but rather reflects the changes in
fair value immediately in earnings. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's
exposure to foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded
directly in earnings and were equal to a net gain of $

Pension Settlement Expense
The Company completed the transfer of $198.3 million of its pension obligations through a full termination of its fully-funded pension plan during the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. Based on participant elections, the pension obligations were distributed through a combination of lump sum payments to participants, the purchase of a group annuity contract, and payments to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. With the completed funding of the plan payout settlements, the Company had approximately $31.8 million of pension assets remaining. The remaining assets were the result of the funded status of the plan, higher take rate of lump sum payment election by participants and optimal pricing of the group annuity contract. The Company has evaluated the allowable opportunities for utilization of the excess pension assets including funding other employee benefits. The Company used $5.2 million of the $31.8 million to fund its 401(k) match obligation during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and plans to continue funding future benefit plan obligations, with a possible reversion of any remaining pension assets to the Company per ERISA regulations. The Company recognized a $49.9 million non-cash pension settlement expense from this transition, which is the accounting treatment of the accumulated sum of unrealized losses due to change in actuarial assumptions over the life of the plan. Net of tax, the expense was $26.6 million.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 4.5% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 and 25.9% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. The decrease to the effective tax rate for third quarter ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the beneficial tax adjustments for the pension settlement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents 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 operating activities generated net cash of $230.3 million and $213.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company made no contributions to its defined benefit retirement plans during the nine months ending September 2019 and 2018 as the plans had remained adequately funded through the settlement that occurred this quarter. With the completed funding of the plan payout settlements, the Company had approximately $25.9 million of pension assets remaining.
The Company invested approximately $18.7 million in capital expenditures, exclusive of expenditures for business acquisitions, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $19.6 million during the same period in 2018, and expects to invest approximately $4.7 million for the remainder of 2019. Capital expenditures for the first nine months consisted primarily of the purchase of operating equipment replacements and technology related projects. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made expenditures for acquisitions totaling $431.2 million, compared to $71.8 million during the same period in 2018. A total of $103.1 million was paid in cash dividends ($0.315 per share), compared to $91.7 million or ($0.28 per share) during the same period in 2018. On October 23, 2019, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.105 per share plus a special year-end dividend of $0.05 per share both payable December 10, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business November 11, 2019 to be funded with existing cash balances and available credit facilities. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors. The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market during the first nine months of 2019 or during the same period in 2018. The Company has had a buyback program in place for a number of years and has routinely purchased shares when it felt the opportunity was desirable. The Board authorized the purchase of 11.25 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock in July 2012. These authorizations enable the Company to continue the purchase of Company common stock when appropriate, which is an important benefit resulting from the Company’s strong cash flows. The stock buy-back program has no expiration date. In total, 7.6 million additional shares may be purchased under the share repurchase program. The Company repurchased $9.9 million and $9.5 million of common stock for the first nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from employees for the payment of taxes on vesting restricted shares. The acquisitions, capital expenditures, share repurchases and cash dividends were funded through existing cash balances, borrowings on our line of credit, a term loan, and operating activities.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes short-term unearned revenues of $132.9 million and $116.0. million, respectively, representing approximately 7% of our annual revenue. This represents cash paid to the Company by its customers in advance of services that will be recognized over the next twelve months. The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents of $104.4 million at September 30, 2019 is held at various banking institutions. Approximately $71.0 million is held in cash accounts at foreign bank institutions and the remaining balance is primarily held in non-interest-bearing accounts at various domestic banks. The Company’s international business is expanding and we intend to continue to grow the business in foreign markets in the future through acquisitions of unrelated companies, reinvestment of foreign deposits and future earnings. Repatriation of cash from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is not a part of the Company’s current business plan. The Company maintains a large cash position in the United States. The Company 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 closed the acquisition of Clark Pest Control of Stockton, Inc. located in Lodi, California during the second quarter of 2019 for approximately $400 million. The Company funded the purchase price of the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, use of its revolving credit facility for $100 million and a term loan of $250 million tied to LIBOR. The Company plans to repay these loans within two years of the acquisition.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits, claims or arbitrations which allege that the subsidiaries’ services caused damage. In addition, the Company defends employment related cases and claims from time to time. We are involved in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We are actively contesting each of these matters.
Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters, however unlikely, could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than ASC 842.
New Accounting Standards
See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the effect of the future adoption of recent accounting pronouncements and guidance on the Company’s financial statements; statements regarding management’s expectation regarding the effect of the ultimate resolution of pending claims, proceedings or litigation on the Company’s financial position, results of operation and liquidity; the Company’s reasonable certainty that it will exercise the renewal options on its operating leases; the Company’s expectation that it will repay the loans related to the Clark Pest Control acquisition within two years of closing; the Company’s belief that the allocation of the purchase price is subject to material revision in its future financial statements; the Company’s belief that the exposure of certain of its foreign operations expose it to foreign interest and exchange rate fluctuations that may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency; 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 expectation that its leverage ratio will remain in compliance with its debt covenants through 2019; our expectation that the Company will continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to earnings and financial condition of the Company; our intention to continue to grow the 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 plan to continue funding future benefit plan obligations with a possible reversion of any remaining pension assets to the Company in compliance with ERISA regulations; the Company’s expectation that it will invest $4.7 million in capital expenditure for the remainder of 2019; the Company’s expectation to maintain compliance with debt covenants and 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; and the Company’s estimation regarding the reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the possibility of an adverse ruling against the Company in pending litigation; general economic conditions; actions taken by our franchisees, subcontractors or vendors that may harm our business; market risk; changes in industry practices or technologies; a breach of data security; the degree 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; changes in various government laws and regulations, including environmental regulations; 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. All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing the Company can be found in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of September 30, 2019, the Company maintained an investment portfolio (included in cash and cash equivalents) subject to short-term interest rate risk exposure. The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $175.0 million revolving credit facility and $250 million term loan facility. The Company is also exposed to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. See Note 13 to Part I, Item 1 for a discussion of the Company’s investments in derivative financial instruments to manage risks of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company believes that this foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material impact upon the Company’s results of operations going forward. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk exposure since the end of fiscal year 2018.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of September 30, 2019 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date to ensure that the information required to be included in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
In addition, management’s quarterly evaluation identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of September 30, 2019, we did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
