Current report
Revenue growth was healthy throughout the year, but we did see weaker volumes in the fourth quarter due to weakness in one-time services associated with less favorable weather conditions.
Current report
Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $2.0 billion, an increase of $198.5 million, or 11.1%, compared to $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 10 basis points to 30.1% in 2025 compared to 30.0% in 2024. Lower volumes negatively impacted leverage across several categories, partially offset by lower insurance and claims costs.
Current report
As a percentage of revenue, operating income decreased to 19.3% from 19.4% in the prior year. Operating margin decreased mostly due to higher fleet costs and higher selling and marketing costs. This was partially offset by lower insurance and claims costs, lower materials and supplies costs, and lower administrative costs.
Current report
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Current report
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.9% in 2025 compared to 26.0% in 2024. The reduced rate is primarily due to the purchase of transferable federal income tax credits in 2025. We expect to realize an effective tax rate of 24.5% to 25% in 2026.
Current report
While we had solid full year results, our fourth quarter results were impacted by slower growth in certain parts of our business and a negative impact from weather. Our 2025 operating margin reflects weaker volumes in the fourth quarter, but our ongoing modernization efforts position us to deliver an improving margin profile as we look to 2026. We continue to execute a balanced capital allocation program enabled by compounding operating cash flow and a strong balance sheet.
Current report
•A focus on ongoing modernization efforts, a culture of continuous improvement and pricing should support an improving margin profile.
Current report
The Company expects to report 7% to 8% organic revenue* growth in 2026. While we may see a slower start to the year in the first quarter, the strength of our recurring revenue and ancillary services gives us confidence in our ability to meet our financial outlook for 2026.
Current report

Current report
2035 Senior Notes
Current report
In February 2025, we issued ten-year notes with an aggregate principal amount of $500 million due on February 24, 2035 (the “2035 Senior Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act. We issued the 2035 Senior Notes at 98.443% of par, representing a discount of $7.8 million, and paid approximately $6.1 million for debt issuance costs. The interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 24 and August 24 of each year at 5.25% per annum, beginning on August 24, 2025, and the entire principal amount is due at the time of maturity. We used the net proceeds from this offering primarily to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Current report
On May 6, 2025, we commenced an offer to exchange $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes privately placed in February 2025 (“Initial Notes”) for the $500 million of the 2035 Senior Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Exchange Notes”). Approximately 99.6% of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, and were exchanged for Exchange Notes as of June 4, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer. The Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will have no transfer restrictions or registration rights.
Current report
Commercial Paper Program
Current report
In March 2025, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a total of $1 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Borrowings under this program are generally outstanding for 30 days or less. The net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper are used for various purposes, including general corporate purposes and funding for acquisitions. As of December 31, 2025, there were $114.4 million outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
Current report
Revolving Credit Facility
Current report
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $397.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, which were repaid with the proceeds from the 2035 Senior Notes.

Tax Legislation Developments
Previous report
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits ("Pillar Two") for multinational enterprises with annual global revenues exceeding €750 million. Pillar Two has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries and is intended to apply for tax years beginning in 2024. The OECD has issued administrative guidance (including transitional safe harbor rules) in conjunction with the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. These rules did not have a material impact on financial results in 2024 due to certain transitional safe harbors. The Company will continue to monitor the potential impact of Pillar Two proposals and developments on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as various tax jurisdictions begin enacting such legislation.
Previous report
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased 20 basis points to 30.0% in 2024 versus 29.8% in 2023. Selling and marketing costs have increased 40 basis points as we continue to invest in growth initiatives. This was partially offset by 20 basis points of leverage associated with lower administrative costs.
Previous report
Restructuring Costs
Previous report
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, restructuring costs decreased by $5.2 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we executed a restructuring program to modernize our workforce. No such costs were incurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
Previous report
Other Income, Net
Previous report
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.0% in 2024 compared to 25.8% in 2023. The 2024 rate was negatively impacted by higher state income taxes and foreign income taxes compared to 2023.
Previous report
We saw strong full year growth in revenue, cash flow and earnings in 2024. We delivered double-digit revenue and operating cash flow growth, as well as a 40 basis point improvement in operating margins. Growth investments and pressure from developments on legacy auto claims that materialized in December of 2024 impacted our incremental adjusted EBITDA margin* for the year. Additionally, we continued to execute a balanced capital allocation program enabled by compounding operating cash flow and a strong balance sheet.
Previous report
•A focus on pricing, ongoing modernization efforts, and a culture of continuous improvement should support healthy incremental adjusted EBITDA margins*. While we expect incremental margins to be healthy, we do expect a more challenging first half of 2025 relative to the first half of 2024.

Previous report
(7) In 2024, we revised the non-GAAP metrics adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA to exclude gains and losses related to non-operational asset sales. These measures are of operating performance and we believe excluding the gains and losses on non-operational assets allows us to better compare our operating performance consistently over various periods. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to the corresponding measures disclosed in prior years.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company considered the impact of economic trends on the assumptions and estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the year have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature but are complicated by the continued uncertainty surrounding these macro economic trends. The severity, magnitude and duration of certain economic trends continue to be uncertain and are difficult to predict. Therefore, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to economic trends and may change materially in future periods.

Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was $1.8 billion, an increase of $182.1 million, or 11.4%, compared to $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin improved 50 basis points to 52.7% in 2024 compared to 52.2% in 2023, as pricing more than offset inflationary pressures. We saw 20 basis points of leverage in fleet and 10 basis points of leverage in materials and supplies, while employee expenses and insurance and claims were flat as a percentage of revenue.

Previous wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $99.8 million, or 10.9%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase is driven by expenses associated with growth initiatives aimed at capitalizing on the health of our underlying markets.
Current wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $118.2 million, or 11.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
Previous wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization increased $13.5 million, or 13.5%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, most notably from a full year of acquisition costs of FPC Holdings, LLC ("Fox Pest Control", or "Fox").
Current wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, depreciation and amortization increased $11.5 million, or 10.2%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, most notably from the acquisition of Saela.
Previous wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, operating income increased $74.0 million or 12.7% compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to 19.4% from 19.0% in the prior year. The improvement in operating income as a percentage of revenue is primarily driven by the improvement in gross profit discussed previously.
Current wording
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, operating income increased $68.8 million or 10.5% compared to the prior year.
Previous wording
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, interest expense, net increased $8.6 million compared to the prior year, due to the increase in the average debt balance associated primarily with the share repurchase completed in the third quarter of 2023 and the acquisition of Fox in the second quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by a lower average effective interest rate in 2024 compared to 2023.
Current wording
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense, net increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year, due to the increase in the average debt balance associated primarily with the issuance of our 2035 Senior Notes, as well as borrowings under our commercial paper program. This was partially offset by a lower average effective interest rate on our borrowings. We expect interest expense to be approximately $30 million in 2026 associated with borrowings under our 2035 Senior Notes and commercial paper program.
Previous wording
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, other income, net decreased $21.4 million primarily due to the Company recognizing a $15.5 million gain on the sale of certain businesses during 2023, with no such gain on sale during 2024, and lower gains on sales of non-operational assets.
Current wording
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, other (income) expense, net increased $2.7 million primarily due to higher gains on sales of non-operational assets.

Free cash flow is calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash provided by operating activities. Management uses free cash flow to demonstrate the Company’s ability to maintain its asset base and generate future cash flows from operations. Free cash flow conversion is calculated as free cash flow divided by net income. Management uses free cash flow conversion to demonstrate how much net income is converted into cash. Management believes that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s liquidity. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, management believes it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our consolidated statements of cash flows.
