Current report
Our reported results for the second quarter fell short of our expectations. Organic revenue* growth in the quarter was negatively impacted by slower growth in parts of our residential service offering due to a decline in lead volume. Specifically, those of our brands that are more reliant on consumer-initiated demand through search, digital media and inbound calls experienced a more challenging demand environment. Encouragingly, other areas of our business that leverage relationship-based channels, such as home builders and door-to-door sales, delivered solid organic revenue* growth in the quarter, reinforcing the importance of our diversified, multi-brand approach. Although we remain cautious regarding near-term demand trends, lead volume improved toward the end of June and has maintained this momentum through the first few weeks of July.
Current report
We are focused on execution, accountability, and consistent improvement. We have implemented organizational and operational changes to improve local execution, strengthen accountability, and better align resources with current demand conditions, while continuing to invest in areas that will drive long-term growth.
Current report
Given our first half results and visibility into near-term operating conditions, we are updating our full-year outlook. We expect to report at least 6% organic revenue* growth, 2% to 3% inorganic revenue* growth, adjusted incremental EBITDA margin* of at least 10%, and free cash flow conversion* of greater than 100% in 2026. We believe the medium-term financial outlook and opportunities outlined at our Investor & Analyst Conference in May remain ahead of us and we maintain conviction in our ability to achieve those financial targets over time.
Current report
Gross margin decreased 100 basis points to 52.8% in 2026 compared to 53.8% in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to 70 basis points of higher employee expenses, including higher employee medical costs and service salaries, 20 basis points of higher materials and supplies, and 20 basis points of higher fleet expenses associated with higher fuel costs. This was partially offset by 10 basis points of leverage in insurance and claims costs.

Previous report
The Company expects to report 7% to 8% organic and 2% to 3% inorganic revenue growth in 2026. While we saw a slower start to the year in the first quarter, our business improved in the back half of the quarter and the strength of our recurring revenue and ancillary services gives us confidence in our ability to meet our financial outlook for 2026.
Previous report
Revenue growth was healthy in the back half of the quarter with approximately 12% total growth and over 8% organic revenue growth in March, but we did see weaker volumes early in the quarter associated with less favorable weather conditions.

Current wording
The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six month periods presented:
Previous wording
Cash from operating activities is the principal source of cash generation for our businesses. The most significant source of cash in our cash flow from operations is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from services sold. The most significant operating use of cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, and tax authorities. The Company’s operating activities generated net cash of $118.4 million and $146.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $28.5 million, or 19.4%, decrease was driven primarily by the timing of approximately $39.5 million due to the timing of tax payments associated with our tax credit planning strategy, approximately $8.8 million due to the transition to semi-annual interest payments on our 2035 Senior Notes, as well as the the timing of cash receipts and cash payments to and from customers, vendors, and employees. Aside from the timing impacts of our federal income tax and interest, we continued to generate strong operating cash flows. We expect these timing differences to moderate as we go through the year, and we expect cash flow growth to improve in future quarters.
