NOTE 1.      BASIS OF PREPARATION AND OTHER

 

Basis of Preparation -The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. There has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Rollins, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2014. Accordingly, the quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions for the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the Company makes estimates in its interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the termite accrual which includes future costs including termiticide life expectancy and government regulations, the insurance accrual which includes self insurance and worker’s compensation, inventory adjustments, discounts and volume incentives earned, among others.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

 

The Company has only one reportable segment, its pest and termite control business. The Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not reliant upon any single customer, or a few customers, or the Company’s foreign operations.

 

Three-for-two stock split-The Board of Directors at its quarterly meeting on January 27, 2015, authorized a three-for-two stock split by the issuance on March 10, 2015 of one additional common share for each two common shares held of record at February 10, 2015.

 

All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted for the three-for-two stock split effective March 10, 2015 for shareholders of record February 10, 2015.

 

NOTE 2.      RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Recently issued accounting standards to be adopted in 2015 or later

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, (Topic 205 and 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 amends the definition for what types of asset disposals are to be considered discontinued operations, and amends the required disclosures for discontinued operations and assets held for sale. ASU 2014-08 also enhances the convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09) supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Topic 605, Revenue Recognition” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective retrospectively for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, (Topic 225): Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items ASU 2015-01 eliminates the GAAP concept of extraordinary items. The new guidance eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. ASU 2015-10 makes minor adjustments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification. The technical corrections are divided into four main categories: Amendments to align codification wording with that in pre-Codification standards, corrections to references and clarification of guidance to avoid misapplication and misinterpretation, minor edits to simplify the codification and thereby improve its usefulness and minor enhancements to codification guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current practice. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s reported results of operations or financial position

 

NOTE 3.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to participating common stockholders by the weighted average number of participating common shares outstanding for the period.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common and restricted shares of common stock for the period were as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
   June 30,  June 30,
   2015  2014  2015  2014
Basic earnings per share                    
Common stock  $0.21   $0.19   $0.34   $0.30 
Restricted shares of common stock  $0.21   $0.19   $0.34   $0.30 

 

NOTE 4.      CONTINGENCIES

 

In the normal course of business, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits, claims or arbitrations which allege that the subsidiaries’ services caused damage.  In addition, the Company defends employment related cases and claims from time to time. We are involved in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We are actively contesting each of these matters. 

 

Presently, the Company and a subsidiary, The Industrial Fumigant Company, LLC, are named defendants in Severn Peanut Co. and Meherrin Agriculture & Chemical Co. v. Industrial Fumigant Co., et al.  The Severn lawsuit, a matter related to a fumigation service, has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.  The court dismissed plaintiffs’ claim for breach of contract on March 15, 2014, and it dismissed plaintiffs’ only remaining claim (negligence) on December 15, 2014. Plaintiffs have appealed the rulings.

 

On April 29, 2014, Foster Poultry Farms sued Orkin, LLC and Orkin Services of California, Inc., for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and negligence.  The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The parties have settled the lawsuit, and we expect the court to dismiss it with prejudice within the next two months.

 

On December 2, 2014, Plaintiff Killian Pest Control sued Rollins, Inc., and its subsidiary HomeTeam Pest Defense, and alleged that HomeTeam’s exclusive use of its “tubes in the walls” system violates the federal Sherman Antitrust Act, and California’s Cartwright Act and Business and Professions Code. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the alleged misconduct violates the Sherman and Cartwright Acts, and the Business and Professions Code; a permanent injunction against continuing alleged violations; and monetary damages. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The Company cannot currently estimate the reasonably possible loss, if any, because the lawsuit is at an early stage and involves unresolved issues of law and fact. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

On December 2, 2014, Plaintiff Jose Luis Garnica, on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated customers, sued Rollins, Inc., its subsidiary HomeTeam Pest Defense, and alleged that HomeTeam’s exclusive use of its “tubes in the walls” system violates the federal Sherman Antitrust Act. The Plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that the alleged misconduct violates the Sherman Act; a permanent injunction against continuing violations; and monetary damages. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The Company cannot currently estimate the reasonably possible loss, if any, because the lawsuit is at an early stage and involves unresolved issues of law and fact. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters, however unlikely, could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.

NOTE 5.      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.  The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, N.A. for an unsecured line of credit of up to $175.0 million, which includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $25.0 million swingline subfacility. There were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

NOTE 6.      STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company paid $35.0 million or $0.08 per share in cash dividends compared to $30.6 million or $0.14 per share during the same period in 2014.

 

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not repurchase from the open market any of its $1 par value common stock compared to 0.3 million shares purchased at a weighted average price of $19.91 during the same period in 2014. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased from the open market approximately 19 thousand shares of its $1 par value common stock at a weighted average price of $22.42 per share compared to 289 thousand shares purchased at a weighted average price of $19.65 during the same period in 2014.

 

The Company repurchased $0.9 million and $0.4 million of common stock for each of the second quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and repurchased $7.0 million and $6.1 million of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from employees for the payment of taxes on vesting restricted shares.

 

As more fully discussed in Note 14 of the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, stock options, time lapse restricted shares (TLRS’s) and restricted stock units have been issued to officers and other management employees under the Company’s Employee Stock Incentive Plans.  The Company issues new shares from its authorized but unissued share pool. At June 30, 2015, approximately 5.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s stock-based compensation programs recorded as expense:

The Company recognized a deferred tax loss of approximately $0.6 million and a deferred tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million during the second quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively, and a deferred tax benefit approximately $1.7 million, $4.5 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, related to the vesting of restricted shares which have been recorded as increases to paid-in capital.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

On July 29, 2015, the Company reported its 37th consecutive quarter of improved revenue and earnings with net income of $45.1 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $40.9 million for the prior year quarter, a 10.3% improvement.  Revenues increased by 6.2% to $392.2 million for the second quarter 2015 as compared to $369.4 million for the prior year second quarter.  Earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased to $0.21 per diluted share, as compared to $0.19 per diluted share for the same period in 2014.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Rollins continued its solid financial performance generating $89.3 million in cash from operations year to date.

 

Results of Operations:

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

 

Revenue

 

Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $22.8 million or 6.2% to $392.2 million compared to $369.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.  Growth occurred across all service lines and brands. Organic growth, acquisitions, and pricing roughly equally accounted for the growth.

 

The Company has three primary service offerings. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, commercial pest control revenue approximated 39% of the Company’s revenues, residential pest control approximated 42% of the Company’s revenues, and termite and ancillary service revenue approximated 19% of the Company’s revenues. Comparing second quarter 2015 to second quarter 2014, the Company’s commercial pest control revenue grew 4.6%, residential pest control revenue grew 7.8%, and termite and ancillary services revenue grew 3.9%.  

 

Foreign operations accounted for approximately 8% and 9% of total revenues during each of the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Revenues are impacted by the seasonal nature of the Company’s pest and termite control services. The increase in pest activity, as well as the metamorphosis of termites in the spring and summer (the occurrence of which is determined by the change in seasons), has historically resulted in an increase in the Company’s revenues as evidenced by the following chart:

 

Consolidated Net Revenues

(in thousands) 

  2015   2014   2013 
First Quarter $330,909   $313,388   $299,714 
Second Quarter  392,150    369,357    350,798 
Third Quarter  —      384,870    362,155 
Fourth Quarter  —      343,951    324,707 
Year ended December 31, $ N/A    $1,411,566   $1,337,374 

 

Cost of Services provided

 

Cost of Services provided for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $7.6 million or 4.1%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin for the quarter increased to 51.5% for the second quarter versus 50.6% in the prior year. The quarter benefited from improved service salaries with continued emphasis on routing and scheduling and lower fleet cost due to a decrease in fuel prices, while maintaining good cost controls across most spending categories.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and Amortization expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.6 million to $11.2 million, an increase of 6.0%. Depreciation increased $1.0 million due to expenditures associated with the rollout of our new CRM system, while amortization of intangible assets decreased as assets became fully amortized.

 

Sales, General and Administrative

 

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $7.9 million or 7.1%, to 30.2% of revenues, increasing from 30.0 % for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.  The increase is due to higher sales salaries and related payroll expenses due to acquisitions and call center costs as well as currency exchange rates on Canadian and Australian dollars and cost related to our CRM system implementation, professional fees related to procurement and acquisitions.

 

Gain on Sales of assets, Net

 

Gain on sales of assets, net were $0.2 million for the second quarters ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company recognized gains from the sale of company owned vehicles and property in 2015 and 2014.

Income Taxes for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $2.5 million or 9.9% to $27.3 million from $24.8 million reported for second quarter ended June 30, 2014. This is due to increased pretax earnings. The effective tax rate was 37.7 % for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 and 37.8% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to differences in state tax rates.

 

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

 

Revenue

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $40.3 million or 5.9% to $723.1 million compared to $682.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company saw an increase in closure and average price in most categories. The higher sales resulted in growth across all service lines.

The Company’s commercial pest control revenue grew 4.4%, residential pest control revenue grew 7.1%, and termite and ancillary services revenue grew 5.7%.

 

Foreign operations accounted for approximately 8% of total revenues for the first six months of 2015 and 2014.

Gross margin year-to-date increased to 50.5% from the prior year-to-date gross margin of 49.6% as productivity increased with spring’s arrival, lower fleet cost and good cost controls across most spending categories.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and Amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $1.2 million to $22.0 million, an increase of 5.8%, remaining flat to last year at 3.0% of revenue. The dollar increase was due to amortization related to acquisitions that occurred over the previous twelve months.

 

Sales, General and Administrative

 

Sales, General and Administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $12.6 million or 6.0% to $224.2 million remaining flat at 31.0% of revenues, from $211.6 million in the prior year period due to the Company being able to leverage our administrative and sales salaries, along with non-recurring professional services expense in the prior year.

 

Gain on Sales of assets, Net

 

Gain on sales of assets, net for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $0.2 million or 47.9% to $0.2 million compared to $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The Company recognized gains from the sale of owned vehicles and property in 2015 and 2014.

 

Interest income, net

 

Interest income, net for the period ended June 30, 2015 was $113 thousand, a decrease of $49 thousand from $162 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2014.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $43.6 million, a 7.9 % increase from $40.4 million reported for the same period in 2014, and reflect increased pre-tax income over the prior year period. The effective tax rate was 36.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 versus 37.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to certain discrete items within each period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company believes its current cash and cash equivalents balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings under its $175.0 million credit facility will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s operating activities generated net cash of $89.3 million and $90.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company made contributions of $3.5 million and $3.3 million to its defined benefit retirement plans (the “Plans”) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company is not considering making further contributions to the Plans during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, Plan contributions will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity for 2015.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

The Company invested approximately $17.7 million in capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $11.5 million during the same period in 2014, and expects to invest approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2015. Capital expenditures for the first six months consisted primarily of the purchase of equipment replacements and technology related projects. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made expenditures for acquisitions totaling $30.8 million, compared to $59.7 million during the same period in 2014. A total of $35.0 million was paid in cash dividends ($0.16 per share) during the first six months of 2015, compared to $30.6 million or ($0.14 per share) during the same period in 2014. On July 28, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.08 per share payable September 10, 2015 to stockholders of record at the close of business August 10, 2015 to be funded with existing cash balances. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to the earnings and financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors. The Company repurchased approximately 19 thousand shares at a weighted average price of $22.42 from the open market during the first six months of 2015 compared to the repurchase of approximately 0.3 million shares at a weighted average price of $16.27 during the first six months of 2014. The Company has had a buyback program in place for a number of years and has routinely purchased shares when it felt the opportunity was desirable. The Board authorized the purchase of 7.5 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock in July 2012. These authorizations enable the Company to continue the purchase of Company common stock when appropriate, which is an important benefit resulting from the Company’s strong cash flows. The stock buy-back program has no expiration date. In total, 5.9 million additional shares may be purchased under the share repurchase program. The Company repurchased $7.0 million and $6.1 million of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from employees for the payment of taxes on vesting restricted shares. The acquisitions, capital expenditures, share repurchases and cash dividends were funded through existing cash balances and operating activities.

 

The Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 includes short-term unearned revenues of $107.3 million and $94.1 million, respectively, representing approximately 7% of our annual revenue. This represents cash paid to the Company by its customers in advance of services that will be recognized over the next twelve months.

 

The Company’s $109.7 million of total cash at June 30, 2015, is held at various banking institutions. Approximately $29.3 million is held in cash accounts at foreign bank institutions and the remaining $80.4 million is primarily held in non-interest-bearing accounts at various domestic banks.

 

The Company’s international business is expanding and we intend to continue to grow the business in foreign markets in the future through reinvestment of foreign deposits and future earnings as well as acquisitions of unrelated companies. Repatriation of cash from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is not a part of the Company’s current business plan.

 

The Company maintains a large cash position in the United States while having little third-party debt to service. The Company maintains adequate liquidity and capital resources that are directed to finance domestic operations and obligations and to fund expansion of its domestic business for the foreseeable future without regard to its foreign deposits.

 

On October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Bank of America, N.A. for an unsecured line of credit of up to $175.0 million, which includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $25.0 million swingline subfacility.   The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit or under the swingline subfacility as of June 30, 2015.    The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants through the date of this filing and expects to maintain compliance through 2015.

 

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits, claims or arbitrations which allege that the subsidiaries’ services caused damage.  In addition, the Company defends employment related cases and claims from time to time. We are involved in certain environmental matters primarily arising in the normal course of business. We are actively contesting each of these matters. 

 

Presently, the Company and a subsidiary, The Industrial Fumigant Company, LLC, are named defendants in Severn Peanut Co. and Meherrin Agriculture & Chemical Co. v. Industrial Fumigant Co., et al.  The Severn lawsuit, a matter related to a fumigation service, has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.  The court dismissed plaintiffs’ claim for breach of contract on March 15, 2014, and it dismissed plaintiffs’ only remaining claim (negligence) on December 15, 2014. Plaintiffs have appealed the rulings.

 

On April 29, 2014, Foster Poultry Farms sued Orkin, LLC and Orkin Services of California, Inc., for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and negligence.  The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.  The parties have settled the lawsuit, and we expect the court to dismiss it with prejudice within the next two months.

ROLLINS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

On December 2, 2014, Plaintiff Killian Pest Control sued Rollins, Inc., and its subsidiary HomeTeam Pest Defense, and alleged that HomeTeam’s exclusive use of its “tubes in the walls” system violates the federal Sherman Antitrust Act, and California’s Cartwright Act and Business and Professions Code. Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the alleged misconduct violates the Sherman and Cartwright Acts, and the Business and Professions Code; a permanent injunction against continuing alleged violations; and monetary damages. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The Company cannot currently estimate the reasonably possible loss, if any, because the lawsuit is at an early stage and involves unresolved issues of law and fact. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

On December 2, 2014, Plaintiff Jose Luis Garnica, on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated customers, sued Rollins, Inc., its subsidiary HomeTeam Pest Defense, and alleged that HomeTeam’s exclusive use of its “tubes in the walls” system violates the federal Sherman Antitrust Act. The Plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that the alleged misconduct violates the Sherman Act; a permanent injunction against continuing violations; and monetary damages. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The Company cannot currently estimate the reasonably possible loss, if any, because the lawsuit is at an early stage and involves unresolved issues of law and fact. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

Management does not believe that any pending claim, proceeding or litigation, either alone or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity; however, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters, however unlikely, could result in a charge that might be material to the results of an individual quarter or year.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies since the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the effect of the future adoption of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s financial statements; statements regarding management’s expectation regarding the effect of the ultimate resolution of pending claims, proceedings or litigation on the Company’s financial position, results of operation and liquidity; the Company’s belief that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, future cash flows expected to be generated from operating activities and available borrowings will be sufficient to finance its current operations and obligations, and fund expansion of the business for the foreseeable future; our expectation that the Company will continue to pay dividends; our expectation that repatriation of cash is not a part of the Company’s business plan; possible defined benefit retirement plan contributions and their effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity; estimated 2015 capital expenditures; the Company’s expectation to maintain compliance with debt covenants; and the Company’s belief that interest rate exposure and foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations going forward. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the possibility of an adverse ruling against the Company in pending litigation; general economic conditions; market risk; changes in industry practices or technologies; the degree of success of the Company’s termite process and pest control selling and treatment methods; the Company’s ability to identify and integrate potential acquisitions; climate and weather conditions; competitive factors and pricing practices; our ability to attract and retain skilled workers, and potential increases in labor costs; and changes in various government laws and regulations, including environmental regulations. All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. A more detailed discussion of potential risks facing the Company can be found in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company does not undertake to update its forward looking statements.

 

ITEM 3.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company maintained an investment portfolio (included in cash and cash equivalents) subject to short-term interest rate risk exposure. The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its $175 million credit facility. The Company is also exposed to market risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company believes that this foreign exchange rate risk will not have a material impact upon the Company’s results of operations going forward. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk exposure since the end of fiscal year 2014.

ITEM 4.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2015 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date to ensure that the information required to be included in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

In addition, management’s quarterly evaluation identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2015, we did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
