Rollins entered its peak pest control season expecting a continuation of the growth trajectory outlined at its May Investor Day, and instead ran into one of the softest residential demand environments the company has seen in nearly a decade. Total revenue grew 7.9% year-over-year to roughly $1.08 billion, with organic growth of 5.7%, meaningfully below the company's 7%-8% target range. GAAP EPS came in at $0.30, with adjusted EPS of $0.32, up 6.7% from the prior year but short of consensus expectations. The miss was concentrated in a specific channel: consumer-initiated residential pest control demand flowing through search, digital media, and inbound calls, the lifeblood of the Orkin brand.
