Rollins, Inc. closed a secondary public offering of 17,391,305 shares on November 12, 2025, selling 2,608,695 shares through its underwriters at a price of $57.50 per share. The offering was executed under a shelf registration statement on Form S‑3, effective June 22, 2023, and the selling shareholders entered into a 365‑day lock‑up agreement beginning on the pricing date.
In parallel, Rollins completed a share repurchase of 3,478,260 shares for approximately $200 million, also at $57.50 per share. The buyback reduces the company’s share count, which is expected to lift earnings per share and signal confidence in the firm’s valuation. Like the offering, the repurchase is subject to a 365‑day lock‑up period for the selling shareholders.
The transaction follows a strong third‑quarter performance in which Rollins reported revenue of $1.03 billion, up 12% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $0.35, a 21.4% increase from the prior quarter. Net profit margins stood at 14%, slightly below the 14.2% recorded in the previous year, reflecting modest pressure from higher operating costs. The share repurchase is therefore a deliberate capital‑allocation move designed to offset the slight margin compression while reinforcing shareholder value.
Management emphasized disciplined execution and margin expansion as key drivers of the quarter’s results. Although no direct quote is available, the CFO, Kenneth Krause, is scheduled to present at the Baird 2025 Global Industrial Conference on November 13, 2025, where he will discuss the company’s strategy and outlook. The repurchase aligns with Rollins’ broader approach of returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
The market has responded positively to Rollins’ recent performance, citing robust revenue growth, disciplined cost management, and a dividend increase to $0.1825 per share. Analysts view the share repurchase as a signal of confidence in the company’s valuation and a step toward enhancing long‑term shareholder returns. The transaction underscores Rollins’ ability to manage its capital structure and support sustainable growth.
