Management will make some opening remarks and then weโ€™ll open the line for your questions. Jerry, would you like to begin? Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Thank you, Lyndsey. Good morning, everyone. Iโ€™m pleased to report Rollins delivered strong first quarter results. Overall, we continue to see solid growth across all major service lines with total revenue growth of nearly 10% and organic growth of 7.4% despite one less business day. Earlier this month, we announced our acquisition of Saela Pest Control.

We have known and admired Saelaโ€™s business for a number of years. In fact, Mitch Smith, Saelaโ€™s President is a former Orkin division President, so weโ€™re happy to welcome him and the rest of our Saela teammates to the Rollins family. Ken will share more of the financial details associated with the transaction in a moment, but Saela is a wonderful addition to the Rollins family of brands for several reasons. First and foremost, they have a strong culture that is focused on people, people who deliver amazing service. Second, Saela has a scaled operation with a strong track record enabled by their focus on operational execution.์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ Saela์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์—ˆ๊ณ  ๊ฐํƒ„ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ Saela์˜ ์‚ฌ์žฅ์ธ Mitch Smith๋Š” ์ „ Orkin ์‚ฌ์—…๋ถ€ ์‚ฌ์žฅ์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•˜์—ฌ, ๊ทธ์™€ ๋‚˜๋จธ์ง€ Saela ํŒ€์›๋“ค์„ Rollins ํŒจ๋ฐ€๋ฆฌ๋กœ ๋งž์ดํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜์–ด ๊ธฐ์ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Third, their presence in key geographies including the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West and Midwestern United States provides a platform for us to more effectively deploy our multi-brand strategy. As you know, we believe the combination of Orkin and our strong group of regional brands is a competitive differentiator for Rollins giving us multiple bites at the apple with potential customers, while also providing some balance and diversification with respect to customer acquisition. The addition of Saela further strengthens these competitive advantages. Earlier this month, I was able to meet many of Saelaโ€™s teammates in Utah and Colorado, and I was really impressed.์…‹์งธ, ํƒœํ‰์–‘ ๋ถ์„œ๋ถ€, ์‚ฐ์•… ์„œ๋ถ€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ์ค‘์„œ๋ถ€ ๋“ฑ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ์˜ ์ด๋“ค์˜ ์ž…์ง€๋Š” ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ฉ€ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์ „๋žต์„ ๋ณด๋‹ค ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๊ฐœํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ํ”Œ๋žซํผ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„์‹œ๋‹ค์‹œํ”ผ, ์ €ํฌ๋Š” Orkin๊ณผ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ง€์—ญ ๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ๊ทธ๋ฃน์˜ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ์ด Rollins์˜ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ์ฐจ๋ณ„ํ™” ์š”์†Œ๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ž ์žฌ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฒˆ์˜ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์— ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„์˜ ๊ท ํ˜•๊ณผ ๋‹ค๊ฐํ™”๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Iโ€™m proud to welcome them all to Rollins, and Iโ€™m confident that Saelaโ€™s business is well-aligned to our strategy for sustainable profitable growth. Our investments in strategic M&A opportunities are also complemented by ongoing investments to drive organic growth. As expected, we continued our investments in incremental sales staffing and marketing activities ahead of peak season to ensure that we are positioned top of mind for the consumer as pest season begins. We are well-staffed on the sales, technician and customer service support front with our teammates onboarded, extensively trained and ready to provide an exceptional level of service for our customers.์ €๋Š” ์ด๋“ค ๋ชจ๋‘๋ฅผ Rollins์— ๋งž์ดํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜์–ด ์ž๋ž‘์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋ฉฐ, Saela์˜ ์‚ฌ์—…์ด ์ง€์†๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ์ž˜ ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•œ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „๋žต์  M&A ๊ธฐํšŒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํˆฌ์ž๋Š” ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํˆฌ์ž๋กœ๋„ ๋ณด์™„๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋Œ€๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ•ด์ถฉ ์„ฑ์ˆ˜๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์ž‘๋  ๋•Œ ์†Œ๋น„์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ตœ์šฐ์„ ์œผ๋กœ ์ธ์‹๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์„ฑ์ˆ˜๊ธฐ์— ์•ž์„œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ์˜์—… ์ธ๋ ฅ ์ถฉ์›๊ณผ ๋งˆ์ผ€ํŒ… ํ™œ๋™์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง€์†ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜์—…, ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์ž, ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ง€์› ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ถฉ๋ถ„ํ•œ ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์›๋“ค์€ ์˜จ๋ณด๋”ฉ์„ ์™„๋ฃŒํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ด‘๋ฒ”์œ„ํ•œ ๊ต์œก์„ ๋ฐ›์•„ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ํƒ์›”ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ค€๋น„๊ฐ€ ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
On the commercial side of the business, we are encouraged by our momentum. Overall, we delivered solid double-digit commercial growth for the first quarter, despite some softness of commercial one-time special services such as commodity fumigation. Over the last year, we have strategically added resources to support our dedicated commercial division within Orkin. These resources are paying off as Orkin Commercial delivered double-digit recurring revenue growth in the first quarter. Beyond growth, our dedication to operational efficiency and continuous improvement is an important part of our strategy and culture.์ƒ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์— ๊ณ ๋ฌด๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒํ’ˆ ํ›ˆ์ฆ๊ณผ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ƒ์—… ์ผํšŒ์„ฑ ํŠน์ˆ˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค์—์„œ ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋ถ€์ง„ํ•จ์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ์Œ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ , ์ „๋ฐ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ฒฌ์‹คํ•œ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์ƒ์—… ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 1๋…„๊ฐ„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜คํ‚จ ๋‚ด ์ „๋‹ด ์ƒ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ „๋žต์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ž์›์„ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜คํ‚จ ์ƒ์—… ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ด 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ๊ฒฝ์ƒ ์ˆ˜์ต ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ž์›๋“ค์ด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋‘๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋„˜์–ด์„œ, ์šด์˜ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐœ์„ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ—Œ์‹ ์€ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ „๋žต๊ณผ ๊ธฐ์—…๋ฌธํ™”์˜ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Ken will discuss in more detail, but we saw gross margin improvement in the quarter as we executed our pricing strategy, leveraged our cost structure and drove efficiencies throughout the business. This is somewhat offset by ongoing investments we have made to support our long-term growth objectives, but we remain confident in our ability to yield a strong return on these investments in the quarters and years ahead. And finally, before I turn it over to Ken, I would like to take a moment to welcome Paul Donahue, who was elected to our Board of Directors at our Annual Shareholder Meeting earlier this week.Ken์ด ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜๊ฒ ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋‹น๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ „๋žต์„ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋น„์šฉ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๋ฉฐ ์‚ฌ์—… ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ์„ ์ œ๊ณ ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ  ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•œ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ํˆฌ์ž๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜์—ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์™€ ์—ฐ๋„์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž์—์„œ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ํ™•์‹ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ Ken์—๊ฒŒ ๋„˜๊ธฐ๊ธฐ ์ „์—, ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ฃผ ์ดˆ ์—ฐ๋ก€ ์ฃผ์ฃผ์ดํšŒ์—์„œ ์ด์‚ฌํšŒ์— ์„ ์ž„๋œ Paul Donahue๋ฅผ ํ™˜์˜ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋ง์”€์„ ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Paul serves as Non-Executive Chairman of Genuine Parts Company and was previously CEO and Chairman there as well. His extensive leadership experience, business expertise and commitment to the community bring great value to Rollins and we look forward to the impact it will have on our Company. In closing, weโ€™re excited about where our business stands today. The year is off to a solid start and demand from our customers remains strong.

Thanks, Jerry, and good morning, everyone. The first quarter reflects continued strong execution by the Rollins team. A few highlights to start. Growth was robust to start the year. We delivered revenue growth of 9.9% year-over-year. Organic growth was 7.4% despite 40 basis points of headwind from foreign currency, as well as an impact from one less business day in the quarter versus last year. Organic growth would have exceeded the high-end of our 7% to 8% range were it not for these two factors. On the profitability side, we continue to make progress. Gross margin of 51.4% is the highest first quarter gross margin that we have recorded in recent history.

As expected, strategic growth investments did temper EBITDA margins a bit in the quarter, but we continue to anticipate an improving margin profile as we move through the back half of the year. And finally, we delivered operating cash flow of $147 million and free cash flow of $140 million up 15% and 17% respectively versus last year, enabling a balanced capital allocation strategy. Diving further into the quarter, we saw good growth across each of our service offerings. In the first quarter, Residential revenue increased 8.2%, Commercial pest control rose 10.2% and Termite and Ancillary increased by 13.2%.์˜ˆ์ƒ๋Œ€๋กœ ์ „๋žต์  ์„ฑ์žฅ ํˆฌ์ž๊ฐ€ ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ EBITDA ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๋‹ค์†Œ ์••๋ฐ•ํ–ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ํ•˜๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ๋กœ ์ ‘์–ด๋“ค๋ฉด์„œ ๋งˆ์ง„ ํ”„๋กœํŒŒ์ผ์ด ๊ฐœ์„ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณ„์† ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์˜์—…ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„ 1์–ต 4,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์™€ ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„ 1์–ต 4,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ๊ฐ 15%, 17% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ท ํ˜• ์žกํžŒ ์ž๋ณธ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ์ „๋žต์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋” ์ž์„ธํžˆ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ๊ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์–‘ํ˜ธํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ฃผ๊ฑฐ์šฉ ๋งค์ถœ์€ 8.2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ƒ์—…์šฉ ํ•ด์ถฉ๋ฐฉ์ œ๋Š” 10.2% ์ƒ์Šนํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ํฐ๊ฐœ๋ฏธ ๋ฐ ๋ถ€๋Œ€์„œ๋น„์Šค๋Š” 13.2% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Organic growth was also healthy across the portfolio with growth of 5.7% in Residential, 7.4% in Commercial and 11.1% in the Termite and Ancillary area. Importantly, our organic growth rate on our recurring base of commercial business grew at nearly 10%. We remain encouraged that our investments in this area are paying off. Turning to profitability, our gross margins were healthy at 51.4%, up 20 basis points versus last year. We continue to be positive on the price cost equation and saw good performance across several key cost categories.ํฌํŠธํด๋ฆฌ์˜ค ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ๋„ ๊ฑด์ „ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ฃผ๊ฑฐ์šฉ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ 5.7%, ์ƒ์—…์šฉ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ 7.4%, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํฐ๊ฐœ๋ฏธ ๋ฐฉ์ œ ๋ฐ ๋ถ€๋Œ€ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ 11.1%์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€ ์ƒ์—…์šฉ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๊ฒฝ์ƒ ์ˆ˜์ต ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์—์„œ ์œ ๊ธฐ์  ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์ด ๊ฑฐ์˜ 10%์— ๋‹ฌํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํˆฌ์ž๊ฐ€ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋‘๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์—์„œ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๊ณ ๋ฌด์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ๋งค์ถœ์ด์ด์ต๋ฅ ์€ 51.4%๋กœ ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ž‘๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 20๋ฒ ์ด์‹œ์Šคํฌ์ธํŠธ ์ƒ์Šนํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋น„์šฉ ๊ตฌ์กฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ฃผ์š” ๋น„์šฉ ํ•ญ๋ชฉ์—์„œ ์–‘ํ˜ธํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ํ™•์ธํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Looking at our four major buckets of service costs, people, fleet, materials and supplies, as well as insurance and claims, we saw improvements in margins associated with people costs, materials and supplies as well as the insurance and claim area, which was somewhat offset by higher fleet expense. Quarterly SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue increased by 70 basis points versus last year. We saw healthy leverage on administrative people costs, which enabled reinvestment in incremental advertising and selling expenses associated with the growth initiatives that weโ€™ve discussed previously. First quarter GAAP operating income was $143 million up 7.7% year-over-year.์„œ๋น„์Šค ๋น„์šฉ์˜ 4๋Œ€ ์ฃผ์š” ํ•ญ๋ชฉ์ธ ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„, ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ์šด์˜๋น„, ์ž์žฌ ๋ฐ ์†Œ๋ชจํ’ˆ๋น„, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋ณดํ—˜ ๋ฐ ํด๋ ˆ์ž„ ๋น„์šฉ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„, ์ž์žฌ ๋ฐ ์†Œ๋ชจํ’ˆ๋น„, ๋ณดํ—˜ ๋ฐ ํด๋ ˆ์ž„ ์˜์—ญ์—์„œ ๋งˆ์ง„ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์œผ๋‚˜, ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ์šด์˜๋น„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ผ๋ถ€ ์ƒ์‡„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํŒ๋งค๊ด€๋ฆฌ๋น„๋Š” ๋งค์ถœ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 70bp ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ด€๋ฆฌ์ง ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„์—์„œ ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด ์ด์ „์— ๋…ผ์˜ํ–ˆ๋˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์™€ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ์ถ”๊ฐ€์ ์ธ ๊ด‘๊ณ ๋น„ ๋ฐ ํŒ๋งค๋น„์— ์žฌํˆฌ์žํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ GAAP ๊ธฐ์ค€ ์˜์—…์ด์ต์€ 1์–ต 4,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 7.7% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Adjusted operating income was $147 million up 6.7% versus prior year. First quarter EBITDA was $173 million up 8.1% and representing a 21% margin. Interest expense was $2 million lower year-over-year due to lower average debt balances and a lower average rate versus last year. We expect interest expense for the remainder of the year to be slightly elevated compared to last year due to higher debt levels associated with our recent M&A activity. Notably, we expect interest expense to be $8 million to $10 million in Q2 on the higher borrowings.์กฐ์ • ์˜์—…์ด์ต์€ 1์–ต 4,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 6.7% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ EBITDA๋Š” 1์–ต 7,300๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ 8.1% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 21%์˜ ๋งˆ์ง„์„ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋ƒ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ž๋น„์šฉ์€ ํ‰๊ท  ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ž”์•ก ๊ฐ์†Œ์™€ ์ž‘๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‚ฎ์€ ํ‰๊ท  ๊ธˆ๋ฆฌ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 200๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ตœ๊ทผ M&A ํ™œ๋™๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๋†’์€ ๋ถ€์ฑ„ ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋‚จ์€ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋™์•ˆ์˜ ์ด์ž๋น„์šฉ์€ ์ž‘๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์†Œํญ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ, ์ฐจ์ž…๊ธˆ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ธํ•ด 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ด์ž๋น„์šฉ์€ 800๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 1,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
The effective tax rate was 23.5% in the quarter, lower than the 26% we expect for the year due to timing of certain tax benefits associated with divesting of restricted shares. We expect the second quarter tax rate to approximate 26%. Quarterly GAAP net income was $105 million or $0.22 per share, increasing from $0.19 per share in the same period a year ago. For the first quarter, we had non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments associated with the Fox acquisition related items totaling approximately $4 million of pre-tax expense in the quarter. Accounting for these expenses, adjusted net income was $108 million or $0.22 per share increasing 10%.์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์œ ํšจ์„ธ์œจ์€ 23.5%๋กœ, ์ œํ•œ์ฃผ์‹ ๋งค๊ฐ๊ณผ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ํŠน์ • ์„ธ์ œํ˜œํƒ์˜ ํƒ€์ด๋ฐ์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์น˜์ธ 26%๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‚ฎ์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์„ธ์œจ์€ ์•ฝ 26%์— ๊ทผ์ ‘ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถ„๊ธฐ GAAP ์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ 1์–ต 500๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋˜๋Š” ์ฃผ๋‹น 0.22๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ, ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ์ฃผ๋‹น 0.19๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์—๋Š” Fox ์ธ์ˆ˜ ๊ด€๋ จ ํ•ญ๋ชฉ๊ณผ ์—ฐ๊ด€๋œ non-GAAP ์„ธ์ „ ์กฐ์ •์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ค‘ ์•ฝ 400๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์„ธ์ „ ๋น„์šฉ์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋น„์šฉ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ ์กฐ์ • ์ˆœ์ด์ต์€ 1์–ต 800๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋˜๋Š” ์ฃผ๋‹น 0.22๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Turning to cash flow and the balance sheet, operating cash flow increased 15% in the quarter to $147 million. We generated $140 million of free cash flow, a 17% increase versus last year. In cash flow conversion, the percent of income that was converted into operating cash flow was very strong as well above 130% for the quarter. As a reminder, our second quarter cash flow will be impacted by a deferred tax payment associated with a disaster relief measure granted to those with operations impacted by Hurricane Helene that we discussed on our fourth quarter call. We made acquisitions totaling $27 million and we paid $80 million in dividends in the first quarter.ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„๊ณผ ๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์˜์—…ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์ด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 15% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•œ 1์–ต 4,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž์œ ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์€ 1์–ต 4,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•˜์—ฌ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 17% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„ ์ „ํ™˜์œจ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ๋Š” ์ˆœ์ด์ต์ด ์˜์—…ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜๋œ ๋น„์œจ์ด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ 130%๋ฅผ ํ›จ์”ฌ ์ƒํšŒํ•˜๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฐธ๊ณ ๋กœ, 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„์€ ํ—ˆ๋ฆฌ์ผ€์ธ ํ—ฌ๋ Œ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์€ ์‚ฌ์—…์žฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ถ€์—ฌ๋œ ์žฌํ•ด๊ตฌํ˜ธ ์กฐ์น˜์™€ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ์ด์—ฐ๋ฒ•์ธ์„ธ ๋‚ฉ๋ถ€๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ์˜ˆ์ •์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์‹ค์ ๋ฐœํ‘œ์—์„œ ๋…ผ์˜ํ•œ ๋ฐ” ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์ด 2,700๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ธ์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ์‹คํ–‰ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 8,000๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ๋ฐฐ๋‹น๊ธˆ์„ ์ง€๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
During the quarter, we executed our inaugural bond offering issuing $500 million of 10 year notes with the tightest bond IPOs credit spread for any industrial company since 2016. We also established a $1 billion commercial paper program, which will generate ongoing savings as short-term funding needs arise. Our leverage ratio stands at 0.8 times. Our balance sheet is very healthy and positions us well to continue to execute on our balanced capital allocation strategies. As Jerry mentioned, we closed the Saela acquisition earlier in April and are excited about the strategic growth opportunities this acquisition will provide us. Let me share a few financial details on the acquisition.์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์ฒซ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์ฑ„๊ถŒ ๋ฐœํ–‰์„ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•˜์—ฌ 10๋…„ ๋งŒ๊ธฐ 5์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ์ฑ„๊ถŒ์„ ๋ฐœํ–‰ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” 2016๋…„ ์ดํ›„ ๋ชจ๋“  ์‚ฐ์—… ๊ธฐ์—… ์ค‘ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํƒ€์ดํŠธํ•œ ์ฑ„๊ถŒ IPO ์‹ ์šฉ ์Šคํ”„๋ ˆ๋“œ๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ 10์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ธฐ์—…์–ด์Œ(CP) ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜์—ฌ ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ์ž๊ธˆ ์กฐ๋‹ฌ ํ•„์š”๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•  ๋•Œ๋งˆ๋‹ค ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋น„์šฉ ์ ˆ๊ฐ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๋ ˆ๋ฒ„๋ฆฌ์ง€ ๋น„์œจ์€ 0.8๋ฐฐ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ๋Š” ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฑด์ „ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ๊ท ํ˜• ์žกํžŒ ์ž๋ณธ ๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ์ „๋žต์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์‹คํ–‰ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ข‹์€ ํฌ์ง€์…˜์— ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We expected to add between $45 million to $50 million of revenue in 2025 with approximately $15 million in Q2. From an EBITDA standpoint, Saelaโ€™s margin profile is neutral to ours and we anticipate the deal to be accretive to earnings in the first full-year of ownership. We are in the process of finalizing our purchase accounting and weโ€™ll provide an update on this during our Q2 call in July. As we look to the remainder of 2025, we remain encouraged by the strength of our markets, our recession resilient business model and the execution of our teams.

To give you some perspective, our greatest area of potential impact from tariffs could be in our fleet. Fleet costs in total represent just over 5% of our income statement and itโ€™s important to dissect that further and recognize that automobile lease costs represent roughly 3% of our income statement. We are positioned extremely well to deliver on our financial objectives despite uncertainty in the current macroeconomic environment. We continue to expect organic growth in the 7% to 8% range for the year, but expect that the addition of the Saela business will take anticipated growth from M&A to 3% to 4% for the year versus the 2% to 3% we discussed previously.๊ด€์„ธ๊ฐ€ ์ €ํฌ์—๊ฒŒ ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ž ์žฌ์  ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฐ›์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜์—ญ์€ ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ์šด์šฉ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์ฒด ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ์šด์šฉ ๋น„์šฉ์€ ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์˜ 5%๋ฅผ ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋„˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฅผ ๋” ์„ธ๋ถ„ํ™”ํ•ด์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ž๋™์ฐจ ๋ฆฌ์Šค ๋น„์šฉ์ด ์†์ต๊ณ„์‚ฐ์„œ์˜ ์•ฝ 3%๋ฅผ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ์ธ์‹ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Good morning, Tim. Tim Mulrooney

Okay. A couple of questions. So first, just in terms of your, I guess, this would be more your consumer facing businesses resi and termite. Weโ€™ve heard from some other industry participants that lead volumes in North America have been a little bit weaker to start the year. Iโ€™m curious what youโ€™re seeing in the market as it pertains to demand trends.

Obviously, everything sounds good, but is there anything in the data to suggest that things are slowing down at all maybe towards the end of the quarter or after the quarter as macro uncertainty continues to ramp up here? Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Ken, I guess Iโ€™ll kick off. January and February were certainly a little tougher, got better in March. I would characterize demand was still pretty good. We did see also some uptick in our technician sales efforts and things along those lines that also helped drive the residential creative selling on the Termite and Ancillary side of the business those helped in that area.

I wouldnโ€™t for us at least we didnโ€™t see some any type of demand signals or changes that gave us pause. Kenneth D. Krause

Yes. The only thing I would add Jerry is, when you look across the business, the residential business continues to perform well. Weโ€™re happy with the recurring revenue growth weโ€™re seeing in that business. When you look at the commercial area, I pointed out in my prepared comments that that business, the recurring organic growth was close to 10% and then the Termite and Ancillary business continues to be a strong contributor. The teammates and the team across the organization just do an exceptional job navigating an uncertain economic environment.

But again, our business remains very recession resilient and weโ€™ve seen that through a number of cycles in the past and weโ€™re seeing that now. As we go through April, weโ€™re executing well, weโ€™re seeing good results, continue to see and continue to expect to be able to deliver on our organic growth commitments. Tim Mulrooney

Okay. Thatโ€™s very clear. You guys arenโ€™t seeing it at all. And if anything, it sounds like things got better as you move through the quarter. So, thatโ€™s all very clear. Thank you. And just to build on that comment that you were making there, Ken, on your Commercial business.

I think and please correct me if Iโ€™m wrong, but I think a lot of the investments that have been weighing on margins the last couple of quarters are in Orkin Commercial specifically. So, this really strong result that youโ€™re seeing in your Commercial business, do you think that thatโ€™s a direct result of these investments that youโ€™re making, adding feet on the street, splitting up the branches, those kind of things? Do you think youโ€™re starting to see the benefit of those investments that those are paying off, or is it too early there? Kenneth D. Krause

No, I think it is.

I mean, when I look at that business and think about what Scott Weaver is doing with leading that business, the performance weโ€™re seeing is certainly is correlated I believe to the level of focus and the emphasis and the investments weโ€™re making in that business. And, we feel like theyโ€™re paying off. We continue to be bullish on that segment. But, weโ€™re also when you step back and look across the business, weโ€™re bullish in the other areas as well.์ œ๊ฐ€ ๊ทธ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๊ณ  Scott Weaver๊ฐ€ ๊ทธ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์ด๋Œ์–ด๊ฐ€๋Š” ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋Š” ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ๊ทธ ์‚ฌ์—…์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ง‘์ค‘๋„์™€ ๊ฐ•์กฐ์ , ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํˆฌ์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ํˆฌ์ž ์ˆ˜์ค€๊ณผ ์ƒ๊ด€๊ด€๊ณ„๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋“ค์ด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ๋‘๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋А๋ผ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๋‚™๊ด€์ ์ธ ์ „๋ง์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ํ•œ ๋ฐœ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿฌ์„œ์„œ ์ „์ฒด ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ๋ฐ”๋ผ๋ณผ ๋•Œ, ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์˜์—ญ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ๋งˆ์ฐฌ๊ฐ€์ง€๋กœ ๋‚™๊ด€์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
You look at the Termite and Ancillary business and what weโ€™re seeing there, dissecting that and looking at some of the ancillary growth weโ€™re seeing gives us a sense of optimism when we think about the, how healthy our customer base might be because those are larger ticket items. But, we think generally across the Board, weโ€™re seeing good returns on the investments weโ€™re making. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

And I would add Ken that, it takes the sales cycle on the B2B side is longer. So, those investments that we make in the back half of last year really donโ€™t start paying off until the middle of this year unlike residential that tends to have a little quicker ramp up things like that.

So, these investments in the commercial business take time. It takes focus.

Could you just touch on from, I guess, a high level standpoint, the drivers of the topline growth if you see contributions from new up cross pricing and inorganic change, the drivers of margins and, say, a downturn? And then, anything to note for resiliency by segment if thereโ€™s any nuances there? Kenneth D. Krause

A number of different questions. Iโ€™ll try to take them and make sure I address them. But, when you look at the resiliency of the business and you look at the contributors to growth, I have to start with pricing. We continue to see good pricing in our business CPI plus level of pricing, 3% to 4% price increases. Itโ€™s not just every customer is not seeing the same price increase.

It certainly is market specific, but weโ€™re seeing good traction on that side. Volume growth continues to be healthy. When you look at all of the various segments I pointed out previously and the contributions in those segments certainly feel like weโ€™re seeing good volume growth and share gain. When you think about the M&A environment remains very healthy as you saw us execute on Saela great business and with a lot of great people that weโ€™ve acquired and really looking forward to the contributions of that business, but we continue to remain active and looking at a number of additional opportunities. And so, we continue to build the pipeline on the M&A.ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ์‹œ์žฅ๋ณ„๋กœ ์ฐจ์ด๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ ์ข‹์€ ๊ฒฌ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ๊ฑด์ „ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๋‹ค์–‘ํ•œ ์‚ฌ์—…๋ถ€๋ฌธ๋“ค๊ณผ ํ•ด๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ฌธ๋“ค์˜ ๊ธฐ์—ฌ๋„๋ฅผ ์‚ดํŽด๋ณด๋ฉด, ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ์ข‹์€ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰ ์„ฑ์žฅ๊ณผ ์‹œ์žฅ์ ์œ ์œจ ํ™•๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

So generally across all of that, we feel pretty good. And when you look at downturn, what do you do in a downturn? Weโ€™re a very labor intensive business. So, we have a very high variable cost model in the business. And so, if the business we donโ€™t see it, I have to say that, weโ€™re not seeing a slowdown, but if it were, that would certainly be a lever that one would address. But today, we see weโ€™re very much in a growth mode. Weโ€™re investing in our business. Weโ€™re investing in our teammates and weโ€™re excited about the future. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

And Ken, I would add to that when we talk about our revenue drivers and what keeps the gas and engine, itโ€™s our multi-brand strategy.

Thatโ€™s what when we have our eggs are in a lot of different baskets and we have so many ways to go to market and capitalize on the opportunities that are there. Thatโ€™s really the probably the single biggest difference maker as it relates to how do we drive consistent revenue across all of these categories. Itโ€™s our multi-brand approach that gets us there. Ronan Kennedy

Thatโ€™s very helpful. Thank you. Thank you for taking the multifaceted question. On M&A, can I just ask that you reconfirm how the pipeline looks? I know with the Saela execution or acquisition, some upside from M&A there.

But also, if you are seeing with the uncertain market environment, if that puts potential pressure on competitors and potentially valuations and therefore you maybe incline to do a more sizable transaction? Kenneth D. Krause

When we look at the M&A pipeline, the pipeline is healthy. But as Iโ€™ve said a number of times, thereโ€™s no urgency to chase any one individual asset or opportunity. We remain in a very enviable position when it comes to M&A. Weโ€™re very strategic, but also very pragmatic when we think about the steps we take in the M&A side.

The market remains healthy, but the one thing even though we do have a significant amount of financial bandwidth, weโ€™re always looking at the pace that weโ€™re acquiring these businesses because itโ€™s a lot of work to integrate and to bring new businesses and new brands and new teammates on. So, weโ€™re going to continue to be pragmatic and take the steps approach when it comes to M&A. Ronan Kennedy

Residential organic growth ticked down about 1 point and then Termite organic growth ticked down about 3.5 points going from 4Q to 1Q. So, I know there was one fewer working day in the quarter, but what were some other factors that may have contributed to this growth moderation in Residential and Termite? Kenneth D. Krause

Yes. Itโ€™s not something that weโ€™re overly concerned with, George. We feel good about the contributions of those businesses, continue to see good demand in those businesses. As you point out, we had one less business day. We also had roughly a 40 basis point headwind on currencies that impacted our business across the board.

And so, but when we step back and we look at it, we feel good about how we exited Q1, but also how weโ€™re starting Q2. We feel like the business is very much intact. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

And George, I would add that with the impact in the first quarter when you lose that day there are a lot of one-time thereโ€™s a lot of one-time business that may not get youโ€™re losing a full day of one-time. Your recurring base is still there and weโ€™re finding ways to get that work done. But you do lose a lot of that one-time business and a lot of that Termite and Ancillary work certainly could fit into that category. So, some of it is just attributed to that. Kenneth D.

The heaviest area at one-time is definitely Termite and Ancillary. So, thatโ€™s a great point, Jerry. George Tong

Thatโ€™s helpful color. Thank you. And then, with your acquisition of Saela that you closed in early April, can you confirm what the Commercial and Residential mix is? Kenneth D. Krause

Itโ€™s high 95% range Residential. Theyโ€™re largely a Residential company. They do some commercial, but itโ€™s not significant. George Tong

In light of the Saela acquisition, can you talk about your playbook for driving synergies of the businesses you acquire? And, Iโ€™m curious if thereโ€™s a similar opportunity to what you saw with Fox? Thank you. Kenneth D. Krause

When we look at these businesses, we certainly do look at integration, but weโ€™re buying really good businesses, businesses that are very attractive from a financial perspective. So, we very much take a pragmatic approach to integration. With that said, we do help them on fleet, we do help them on materials and supplies and a number of other measures.

And when you look at the things weโ€™re doing around our modernization and our back office, looking at our finance and accounting and HR and IT teams, I think thereโ€™s an opportunity to do even more as we go forward. So, itโ€™s very much pragmatic approach, but looking at how we can help them improve their business and how we might learn from them as well. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Yes. Perfect example of a synergy that could be gained there quickly. As I mentioned Mitch Smith who worked for us at one point in time in his career, heโ€™s familiar with the technologies that we have that enable our sales force like our BizSuite and our HomeSuite apps that are powerful tools for sales team.

And if we can help him mobilize those types of technologies and put those into the Saela business, we can help them accelerate their growth. So, those are the types of maybe not traditional synergies, but itโ€™s the way that we share best practices, share technologies, share things to how do we make the business better. Itโ€™s not always just about how we cut costs. Kenneth D. Krause

Right, right. And very much when you look at the Fox acquisition, a lot of that was revenue growth and how we were able to see an improvement in the market or the multiple that we paid on that. And so the things Jerry just articulated are very much aimed at growth enablers. Jason Haas

And as a follow-up, can you talk about what incremental margins might have looked like in 1Q if you exclude some of these one-time impacts in the less one less workday, the FX and the investments youโ€™re making in the business? Excluding those, would you have been at your long-term target? And then how are you thinking about incremental margins? How should they trend through the remainder of the year? Kenneth D. Krause

Great question, Jason, and thank you for that. When we look at incremental margins, a couple of things. Youโ€™re right to talk about the growth.

If itโ€™s 40 basis points of FX and maybe another 30 basis points to 40 basis points associated with the one or the loss of the business day, thatโ€™s meaningful, but whatโ€™s more meaningful is the investments we made and especially in the selling and marketing and advertising area. We pulled forward some advertising. Every other year we go out and shoot new television ads. We did that in the quarter, incurred that expense. If you set aside the selling and marketing expenses, you would have been in that 25% to 30% margin profile.

As we think about the future, as we said at the end of last year, as we did the call for Q4, we expect that incremental margin to improve as we go throughout the year, as we start to lap some of these more significant investments as we see the growth come on, but weโ€™ll continue to update that as we go throughout this year.

Really itโ€™s business related. Itโ€™s related to what weโ€™re seeing in our markets and the strategic initiatives that we talked about. And so, nothing outside of that I think would cause us to change our approach when it comes to the selling and marketing side. But itโ€™s more about how healthy our markets are and then execution of our strategy. Jerry E.

I mean, gosh, Ken, if something kind of crazy happened in the digital side and costs went dramatically up, which weโ€™ve never seen happen that we could mitigate or control or adjust. We just pivot, all right. So, weโ€™ll take those dollars and use them in other ways and through other perhaps other channels and repurpose those dollars into perhaps more efficient ways if there were some of those dynamics that occurred that caused prices to go up. Kenneth D. Krause

And that gets to the point you raised with the previous question, this multi-brand strategy.

Great. And just as a follow-up, I wanted to ask about sort of a longer-term picture on Termite. Youโ€™ve had double-digit organic growth there in the last four quarters and at least high-single as to low-double and basically for years.

To us Toni, it has to do with the relationships that we have with our existing customer base and being able to cross-sell additional services to them if they know you, if they trust you and youโ€™re in their homes, if youโ€™re in their attics and youโ€™re in their crawl spaces doing inspections on a regular basis and you notice things that they need to take care of, they trust in you to do that. Itโ€™s really as simple as that. And then if we have cost structures or things that go up with materials and supplies, we just have to adjust our pricing, but we have an incredible opportunity. Itโ€™s where you see this continuing to grow, this sort of creative selling.

Weโ€™re not relying on digital leads to drive this business, especially in Termite.

Thatโ€™s why I think you have seen it be such a sustainable number going historically. Kenneth D. Krause

The relationships are there, Toni, and the opportunities there. And so, when you look again back at May of last year, we showed in its hockey playoff season, so we showed nine shots on goal with the customer, I believe.

So I give you a little bit of color here, but obviously I donโ€™t want to say too much about what our strategies are competitively, but when you have clearly defined territories, trained teammates that know what verticals they like to sell in, where the opportunities are, what those opportunities are and you point them in the right direction, You got to have really strong sales management processes, sales management tools, sales management disciplines. Thatโ€™s really more of what itโ€™s about.

And when you have people, you have the brand, you have scale, we can handle just about any type of thing that anybody could throw at us. Thatโ€™s our competitive advantage is our people.

So, could you just kind of bridge us or are there any other pieces there between Orkin and the one-time how the 10% gets to 7% and then how you expect kind of these pieces to kind of flow going forward? Thank you. Kenneth D. Krause

Certainly. And that is close to 10% is across the business. So, itโ€™s not just the working area, but itโ€™s across the business. Team is doing a really good job at driving that level of performance. But, we do have a one-time part of the business. There is a one-time aspect of commercial fumigation work, other work that is more one-time oriented. We just saw a little bit weaker one-time business in the quarter.

That one less day certainly has an impact when it comes to that with the contribution. And so, when I think about it, thatโ€™s probably the single largest contributor is just having one less day in that part of our business and drawing that down. Josh Chan

I know you mentioned the fleet was maybe less than 5% of cost, but I was curious to know how much of the fleet has been actually refreshed or how much will be needed to be refreshed over, letโ€™s say, the next like one to two years? Thank you. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Itโ€™s hard to give a precise number on how much of our fleet is going to get refreshed over the next 12 months, but what I would say and the reason I think we have some confidence is we feel good about our level of fleet in 2025 here. Weโ€™ll continue to evaluate 2026 and beyond, but weโ€™ll continue to look at that. We have an opportunity to keep trucks longer if we need to.

We have an opportunity we continue to look at a number of different sources, but we feel pretty good about our position in that area. Kenneth D. Krause

Yes, weโ€™d have to do the math to say whatโ€™s the potential exposure to increase repair and maintenance costs by keeping some trucks longer versus the increase of say truck and tariffs and things like that. So, but at the same time, we also need to be looking for maybe lighter duty smaller utility vehicles that we can maybe thereโ€™s some options that we have out cannot find out there that we can get less expensively and offset some of those costs as well. So, weโ€™re looking at all those opportunities and levers. David Paige

So, itโ€™s always hard to compare our business today to the great financial crisis because itโ€™s just so different. We have so many different brands today than we had back in 2008 and 2009. And so, the business has continued to evolve. If anything, we have a much more defensive business. Weโ€™ve got more diversification in the base.

And, when we look at our performance, itโ€™s interesting. We are seeing great performance across those one-time areas, notably in the Termite area, which is the largest. And so, thatโ€™s an area that we certainly see good demand levels for, continue to see good levels of interest. We also provide opportunity for customers to access our Acceptance Corp for credit. We certainly have pretty tight credit standards when it comes to that, but we also have an opportunity to provide our customer and our sales folks with another tool in the toolbox to sell those products or sell those services.

I guess continuing on the theme of potential recessions here, itโ€™s been a while since I think weโ€™ve and to your point the business has evolved quite a bit since the last recession. But as you think about maybe the reoccurring side of the Residential business, which I think from a relative standpoint is probably maybe less defensive than commercial or as you just described, some of these that are definitely necessities. But, can you talk about maybe levers that you pull to maintain client retention in a recessionary environment?๊ฒฝ๊ธฐ ์นจ์ฒด ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ์„ฑ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ์ฃผ์ œ๋ฅผ ์ด์–ด๊ฐ€์ž๋ฉด, ์ง€๋‚œ ๊ฒฝ๊ธฐ ์นจ์ฒด ์ดํ›„ ๊ฝค ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ํ˜๋ €๊ณ  ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋Œ€๋กœ ๊ทธ ์‚ฌ์ด ์‚ฌ์—…์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๋ฐœ์ „ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ฃผ๊ฑฐ์šฉ ์‚ฌ์—…์˜ ๋ฐ˜๋ณต ๋งค์ถœ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์„ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ƒ๋Œ€์  ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ์•„๋งˆ๋„ ์ƒ์—…์šฉ์ด๋‚˜ ๋ฐฉ๊ธˆ ์„ค๋ช…ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ํ•„์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋“ค๋ณด๋‹ค๋Š” ๋ฐฉ์–ด์  ์„ฑ๊ฒฉ์ด ๋œํ•  ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ ‡๋‹ค๋ฉด ๊ฒฝ๊ธฐ ์นจ์ฒด ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์—์„œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์œ ์ง€๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•ด ํ™œ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์ˆ˜๋‹จ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‚˜์š”?
And also, maybe your perspective about customersโ€™ willingness to potentially trade down or reduce their monthly bill and what levers you could pull just to kind of maintain, kind of status quo? Thank you. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

So Ken, Iโ€™ll try to take this. Iโ€™m going to put it in perspective of, I remember in 2007, 2008, I was with the HomeTeam brand and we were completely tied to homebuilding. We captured customers and it was predominantly a Residential business and you had people losing their homes, people upside downing their homes, people walking away from their homes.

And yet, if customers were still in their house, our customer retention rate was still pretty solid and itโ€™s because of the relationships that we have with our clients.

There were some markets that I remember gosh, this is going back a while now, but there were some markets I remember having to we would look at a customer thatโ€™s been with us a while that was struggling financially and maybe we put them on a hold for a month and or two months or weโ€™d work with them or weโ€™d work on back in those days we didnโ€™t have monthly building plans. We would try to convert them to monthly building plans so they didnโ€™t have a larger outlay of cash every quarter. So, we try to work with our customers because we know the cost to reacquire customers far greater than some cost to keep them.์ด์ „์— ๋ช‡๋ช‡ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ - ์•„, ์ด๊ฑด ๊ฝค ์˜ค๋ž˜ ์ „ ์ผ์ด์ง€๋งŒ - ์˜ค๋žซ๋™์•ˆ ์ €ํฌ์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ํ•ด์˜จ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ด ์žฌ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๊ฒช๊ณ  ์žˆ์„ ๋•Œ ํ•œ๋‘ ๋‹ฌ๊ฐ„ ๊ฑฐ๋ž˜๋ฅผ ์ค‘๋‹จํ•˜๊ฑฐ๋‚˜, ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ฉด ๊ทธ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๊ณผ ํ˜‘๋ ฅํ•˜์—ฌ ํ•ด๊ฒฐ์ฑ…์„ ์ฐพ์•˜๋˜ ๊ธฐ์–ต์ด ๋‚ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‹œ์—๋Š” ์›”๋ณ„ ๋นŒ๋ง ํ”Œ๋žœ์ด ์—†์—ˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์—, ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์ด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋งˆ๋‹ค ํฐ ๊ธˆ์•ก์„ ์ง€์ถœํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋„๋ก ์›”๋ณ„ ๋นŒ๋ง ํ”Œ๋žœ์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ๊ณ ๊ฐ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์šฉ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๊ณ ๊ฐ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์šฉ์ด ํ›จ์”ฌ ํฌ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์— ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๊ณผ ํ˜‘๋ ฅํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
So, our brands can easily put in playbooks to learn from the past and make those kinds of adjustments. But, itโ€™s usually a market-by-market, kind of branch-to-branch kind of a situation based on whatโ€™s going on there, household income, how hard a certain market is hit. So for example, back in 2008, there were markets like California where it was and Florida that were hit way harder than say Texas was, right? So, we had to pull those levers differently from market-to-market. So, weโ€™re able to do that. We give our field autonomy to make those decisions especially with customers that have been with us for a long time. Stephanie Moore

And then, maybe talk about given the uncertainty in the market and maybe risk of recession or gosh, who knows at this point, do you think this actually could be an enabler of your M&A strategy, willing sellers looking to just kind of throw in the towel in this more challenging environment, something you can take advantage of? Thank you. Kenneth D. Krause

I donโ€™t know about, I donโ€™t necessarily think that because I think in this business, theyโ€™ll have a lot of the same headwinds and tailwinds as we do. Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s great about this entire industry. And, weโ€™re going to have fleet challenges. Theyโ€™re going to have fleet challenges.

Maybe thereโ€™s some market to market differences or some customers they serve that are impacted or something along those lines. But, I hadnโ€™t thought about that that much, but I wouldnโ€™t think it would cause a bunch of people to suddenly want to sell their business. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

A lot of these businesses, Stephanie, are family-owned, multi-generation. Theyโ€™ve been around for a very long time through a lot of different cycles and theyโ€™re not basing their selling decision. The ones that we like to buy arenโ€™t basing their selling decisions based upon a short-term macroeconomic event. Weโ€™re buying good businesses that have been around for decades, if not longer.

Hey, good morning guys. Thanks for taking the question. Iโ€™m curious if you have an idea of how fast the industry as a whole is growing, kind of particularly in Q1. You guys have had pretty strong organic growth for some time now and your larger peer clearly is lagging you in that regard.

So, thereโ€™s share gains there, but any more color on maybe some of the smaller players would be helpful? Kenneth D. Krause

I donโ€™t think we have a strong sense of how others are doing other than what you see, I guess, maybe in a public market. I would say wait for Tim Mulrooneyโ€™s pest index report that come probably be out in the next month or so. Youโ€™ll have a pretty good sense of what that looks like, but thatโ€™s probably one of the better tools out there to help with that. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Market continues to be good. We feel like itโ€™s a good market, continues to be healthy. Market share and market data is very much art more than it is science.

But, we just feel like from where we sit, weโ€™re growing and probably gaining a little bit of share. Brian McNamara

And then secondly, I was hoping you guys could provide some kind of update on your employee retention efforts, particularly with the first year techs and how you think that evolves in a potentially softening labor market environment. Iโ€™m assuming thatโ€™s probably beneficial there? Kenneth D. Krause

Weโ€™ve made some, Iโ€™m really proud of that. Weโ€™ve just spent this last week reviewing those numbers from the first quarter. Iโ€™m really proud of our operations teams.

Theyโ€™ve made marked improvement in our first year retention, double-digit improvements percentage wise in what we call the short-term retention, making sure that the folks that have been with us for less than a year are staying longer. So, Iโ€™m really proud of that. And as a result of that, weโ€™ve had to make far fewer hot new hires in the first quarter than we did a year ago. And thatโ€™s proof that of the improvements that weโ€™ve made in that regard. Weโ€™re really proud of that. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Certainly. Kenneth D. Krause

We still work to do, still have plenty of work to do on that front, but we are beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel on that one.

And maybe the labor market is helping with some of that too. Jerry E. Gahlhoff

Yes. Pat Chrzanowski, the Head of our Orkin business, actually sent me a note this morning, and he was talking about that as one of his highlights of significant improvements in first year PC Pro Technician, was led by the Head of his HR and all of his Divisional Directors seeing really good engagement and results.

Great. Thanks a lot. Best of luck. Jerry E. Gahlhoff
