Rollins三季报EPS、营收双miss且利润率收缩，盘后已跌7.4%

Investing.com -- Rollins Inc (NYSE:ROL) reported third quarter results that fell short of Wall Street expectations, with both earnings and revenue missing analyst estimates as the pest control company faced continued pressure in residential customer acquisition.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.34, missing the analyst consensus of $0.35 by $0.01. Revenue reached $1.09 billion, below the $1.11 billion estimate, though up 6.2% YoY from $1.03 billion in the prior year period. Organic revenue increased 4.4% compared to the third quarter of 2025. Shares fell 7.4% in after-hours trading Wednesday.
Adjusted operating income declined 0.6% to $231 million, while adjusted operating margin contracted 140 basis points to 21.2%. Adjusted net income decreased 3.1% to $163 million. The company's adjusted EBITDA fell 0.7% to $257 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin declining 170 basis points to 23.5%.
"We are disappointed with our third quarter performance and are acting with urgency to address the challenges impacting our results. We now have a clearer understanding of how the customer acquisition landscape is evolving and are taking concrete steps to optimize our approach," said Jerry Gahlhoff, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
The company noted that residential customer acquisition remained under pressure during the quarter. Management said it is responding with a more dynamic marketing approach, reallocating resources from traditional digital channels to those generating higher returns, including capabilities that strengthen visibility in AI- and LLM-driven discovery.
Operating cash flow increased 26.4% to $242 million, while free cash flow rose 28.8% to $235 million. Cash flow benefited from $63 million due to the timing of a tax refund associated with the company's tax credit planning strategy. During the quarter, Rollins invested $27 million in acquisitions, deployed $120 million for share repurchases, and paid $87 million in dividends.
