However, some businesses reopened during the quarter.
And for some of these customers their economic conditions improve.
We've continued to narrow the revenue shortfall gap each month.

Before turning the call over the John I also want to acknowledge some recent key advancements that further strengthen our executive leadership.
John Wilson, who many of you know his involvement on our earnings conference calls and Investor meetings.
What's promoted to the coal.

This promotion that was truly a testament to his leadership.
Work ethic and how.
Additionally, Jerry gave off was promoted to Rollins President <unk> COO said.
Since many of you may not be too familiar with Jerry's background I'd like to take a minute.
And highlight a few of his many accomplishments.
Sure. He started his career in the pest control and they're showing a 1991 and came to Rollins and the Hometeam acquisition in 2008.
He has successfully manage several areas of the company and has been instrumental in.

Which includes Hometeam pest defense Clark pest control north.
Northwest exterminating well.

A seasoned executive and well respected industry leader Jerry has a comprehensive understanding of our organization.
There's no set is extremely well suited for the COO position.
Another little known fact is the geron came from an Orkin household.
As his dad was a 26 year employee.
We're fortunate to have John and Jerry assume a greater role in our company its direction in the future.
We look forward to their continued contributions.
Let me now turn the call over to John who will provide more details on the aspect of our third quarter John.
Thank you Gary I'm excited and grateful for the opportunity to be here I wanted to start by providing some context of the current environment.
Well the Corona virus remains prevalent in many areas, we feel positive about our financial performance this quarter and how we're executing as a company to meet the needs of our residential and commercial customers both in the U.S. and abroad.
Our residential business remains solid our call centers are busy and were pleased with our results from this service line.
We're also encouraged yet at the same time cautiously optimistic about the positive trends, we have been seeing on the commercial side of our business.
As Gary noted our third quarter commercial results were down year over year. However.
However, the operating environment steadily improved as third quarter progressed and.
And we continued to see month to month improvements.
More businesses reopened and the trust that our brands have built over time have enabled our technicians to provide service when and where needed.
Still we are by no way thinking that this pandemic is over.
We remain diligent considering the current operating environment and with many experts projecting that another way of its possible there remain many uncertainties.
We are executing against our plans.
We continue to proactively navigate the best path forward.
For example out of concern for the health of our employees as well as our customers' stringent safety practices are ongoing and remain a top priority.
To keep our technicians safe, we continued to it here to the advanced health and safety protocols as recommended by the CDC.
By providing a full complement a personal protective equipment for our customer facing employees were continuing to build trust with our customers. While also demonstrating it is safe to do business with us.
We're also working with our customers to create a safer environment for where they live and work.
As we have discussed orkin and many of our other brands are now offering a commercial and residential disinfection service, which is effective in quickly and thoroughly eliminating a wide variety of serious pathogens.
While it is still early we are pleased with the very positive reception. This new service line has been receiving from existing.
As well as new customers.
During the third quarter, we steadily grew this new offering.
Additionally, investors have asked us about the business impact of the devastating wildfires out west as well as the recent tropical storms and hurricanes that have made landfall in the U.S.
While our Hearts go out to those that have been adversely affected by these natural disasters up to now we have not had any significant business disruption.
I would also like to take a minute to provide an update on our wildlife brands, which have experienced strong double digit growth year to date.
For those of you who aren't too familiar with this business segment. The services. We provide include life trapping and removal of wildlife.
Exclusion of wildlife from residences, and other buildings and the repair and remediation of damages caused by wildlife.
There is not a more urgent call for help then that customer who has a wild animal loose and their home or business.
Although a small part of our total business, we have firmly established our position as the leading wildlife control provider in North America.
And looking ahead, we believe that this is real opportunity to continue to grow this business.
Lastly, I wanted to circle back to the promotion of Jerry to President and Chief operating Officer.
Not only does he have a strong foundation and the Pes business.
He does have a degree in entomology. After all he is that rarest of individuals who knows both bugs and the bug business inside out.
He works very hard at improving himself each day.
And I watched him over the last 13 years improve every operation he has touched.
I am excited to have Jerry in this new role.
I will now turn the call over to Eddie.
Thank you John.
I believe that every reference it could be made regarding how long the last quarter as Dan has already been used so I'm going to spare mitel.
I would like to pass along my thanks to your outreach regarding I'll, let Jeremy your words of reflection and support we're truly appreciate it.
The 2016, we held our first ever Investor Day in New York City, and our team had a chance to get to know many of you on that day.
The primary reason for holding that event was the shared the depth and breadth of our management of our senior management team.
I've had discussions with many of you over the years about the eventual passing it but the time.
And the elevation of Gary John and Jerry show this in action.
Each of them have been well prepared for years to take their perspective and vision to lead Rawlins for years to come we're fortunate as an organization and as investors I believe that you will be pleased with what the future holds.
The optical that impacted Q2 began to subside and our operation to non operations groups have made tremendous adjustments to the new life and we're all leading.
Today I'll share some details on our Q3 actual results and some additional insight to what we know today that will impact the future.
For the quarter, our residential pest control and termite service lines showed growth and key to the quarter included improvements in commercial revenue growth rates compared to the second quarter.
Impairment charges related to our personal protective equipment also known as PPD.
And the successful continued cost management implemented to drive margin improvement year over year.
Gary referenced I will be reporting both GAAP and non-GAAP financials that were impacted by vesting of shares this year and the impact of the pension plan moving off of our Rollins book in Q3 of 2000 Nike.
Looking at the numbers the third quarter revenues of 583.7 million with an increase of 4.9% over the prior year's third quarter revenue of 556.5 million.
Our GAAP income before income taxes was 108.9 million or 136% above 2019.
Net income was 79 point sixmillion up 80.6% compared to 2019.
Our GAAP earnings per share were 24 cents per diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, our income before tax was 115.6 million [noise].
This year compared to 96 million last year, a 20.4% increase.
Our 2020 income before taxes was impacted by $6.7 million with divesting of our late chairman.
I'll, let Germans Rollins chairs.
Additionally, 2019 was reduced by 49.9 million for our divesting of the pension plan off of our Rollins books both.
Both the vesting of shares and pension divesting were noncash items.
Our non-GAAP net income was $86.3 million this year compared to 70.6 million in Q3 of 2019 at 22.1% increase.
Looking at the first nine months revenue of 1.625 billion that was an increase of 7.6% over the prior year's third quarter revenue of 1.59 billion.
Our GAAP income before income taxes was 267.8 million or 41.6% above 2019 net.
Net income was 198.2 million up 29.9% compared to 2019.
Our GAAP earnings per share were 60 cents per diluted share.
Our non-GAAP financials, taking the share vesting and pension plan into consideration, we're income before taxes of 274.5 million up 14.8%.
Net income was 204.9 million this year compared to 179.2 million in 2019, a 14.4% increase.
Our non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months were 63 cents compared to 55 cents, which is a 14.5% increase.
As we stated on our Q1 and Q2 calls we began aggressively purchasing personal protective equipment in March and April.
While these were costly they were critical to keeping our operations running safely.
As the cost of these materials have moved lower from the peak, we took a 2 million dollar one time charge to revalue our inventory.
With the pricing moving lower we anticipate.
Million dollars per quarter down from the 2 million that we shared on previous calls.
At this time, we would anticipate having this additional expense for Q2 a 2021.
[noise], let's take a look through the Rollins revenue by service line for the third quarter.
Our total revenue increased 4.9% that included 1.4% from acquisitions and the remaining 3.5%, let's from pricing, which is a small portion of that but mostly from organic and new customer growth.
In total residential pest control, which made up 47% of our revenue was up 10.5%.
Commercial execution pest control, which made up 34% of our revenue was down 1.9% and termite and ancillary services, which made up approximately 18% of our revenue was up 6.2%.
Again total revenue less acquisitions was up 3.5% and from that residential was up 9%.
Commercial exploitation decreased 3.7%.
Termite ancillary grew by 5.9%.
Our residential business continues to perform well.
And the business on the commercial side has seen steady improvement each month since April.
While we continue to manage our costs appropriately it's difficult to know how the revenue levels will look as we move through the pandemic with restrictions continuing to change throughout the world.
In total gross margin increased to 52.8% from 51.7% in the prior year's quarter.
The quarter was positively impacted by lower service and administrative salary expenses as well as lower fuel expense and continued improvements from our routing and scheduling efficiencies.
Additionally, materials and supplies were up as I reference related to the inventory revaluation of our personal protective equipment.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter increased 714000 to 22.4 million an increase of 3.3%.
Depreciation increased $2 million due to acquisitions vehicles acquired equipment purchases.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased 286000, due to the full amortization of customer contracts from several acquisitions, including home team and tuck ins related to orkin.
Sales general and administrative expenses for the third quarter increased 838000, or five tenths of a percent to 168 million or 28.8% of revenue down from 30% last year.
The quarter produced savings in salaries and benefits lower fuel and bad debt through better collection efforts.
As for our cash position for the nine month period ended September Thirtyth 2020, we spent $79.9 million on acquisitions compared to 431.2 million for the same period last year, which included the acquisition of Clark control.
We paid $91.7 million on dividends and had 17.7 million of capital expenditures, which was slightly lower compared to 2019.
We ended the period with 95.4 million in cash of which 62.9 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries.
Before I close I would like to give an update on one of our sustainability initiatives, particularly particularly as it relates to our local communities.
Through corporate and brand initiatives, such as our Rollins, United and northwest Good deeds teens Rollins employees across all brands are strongly encouraged to volunteer within our local community.
In 2021, our employee volunteer goals include community cleanup efforts trafficking education awareness literacy program and support the United way to name a few.
Rollins is committed to getting back to our communities through a strong philanthropic vision.
Please go to Rollins dotcom under the Investor Relations tab to view the full 2020 sustainability report.
Yesterday, the board of directors approved a large regular cash dividend of eight cents per share plus a special dividend of 13 cents that will be paid on December twentyth 2020 to stockholders of record at the close of business November 10th 2020.
In addition, they also announced a three for two stock split that will take effect December to 2020 for stockholders of record at the close of business November 10 2020.
Gary I'll turn the call back over to you.
Well thank you Andy.
We're happy to take your questions at this time.
Thank you at this time, we'll be conducting a question and answer session. If you'd like to ask a question. Please press star one on your telephone keypad.
Automation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue.
In the press star two if he'd like to remove your question from the Q.
Participants using speaker equipment.
It may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys, one moment, please while we poll for questions.
The first question is from Tim Mulrooney William Blair. Please go ahead Sir.
Yes, good morning, everybody and good morning to Gary My condolences once again to you and your family on the passing of your brother.
Thank you.
Yep.
Just just a few questions. This morning on the last conference call. Eddie You mentioned that you hit that 10 out of 10 record new sales days in June and July.
How did your new sales trend through August and September does does it remain.
Olivier did or did you see a return to more normalized sales patterns as you exited that peak selling season.
Yeah, Yeah, Tim Thanks, Yeah, we didnt highlight that today and I don't know if we necessarily duplicated that that a number that we had shared before but I think based on what we reported as far as the revenue gains you can see that they were elevated.
Especially on the on the residential side yelling at our call Center did see much higher activity and then they'd seen in previous years, even as we started to come out of the season.
And move into some cooler areas as as we see.
You know again the majority of that was on the residential side, but we have seen improvement so incremental improvements on the commercial side as well for some of the smaller businesses that would that would come through our call center for that.
Okay. That's helpful. Thank you.
On the on the margins EBITDA margins were particularly strong this quarter nearly 24%.
Is there any way for you to quantify for us how much of this is from the temporary cost cuts that you implemented earlier this year.
I'm trying to figure out how much of this expansion in margin. We've seen recently is structural from your routing and scheduling for example versus how much of this is more of a temporary dynamic.
Well, there's no question the routing and scheduling is paying great dividends for us now, especially as we're having to have technicians.
Potentially adjust and change some routes that they maybe maybe would have historically run.
On both sides on the residential as we're growing it gives us the ability to be able to do that smoothly and on the commercial side. It allows us to kind of reduce some of the noise that we would have but by being able to schedule. A we had one of the best quarters, which we didn't go through in detail. We had one of the best quarters as far as year over year stops.
Mile improvement.
In the quarter, which was which is positive and I think I think those types of things to your to the point of your question are more structural in nature.
I believe that the majority of the folks that we had furloughed as as we went into the pandemic.
That are going to be brought back have been brought back at this point in time and.
And I think that that are both our operations and our non operations groups, absolutely our leaner than than when we started.
We've been forced to find ways as many organizations have to use technology.
In ways that have made us more efficient.
So I don't have a defined answer an exact answer for you, where we will be leaner a bit.
And margins will be better as a as a part of this as we're moving forward but.
But I think as we see that revenue growth will get up we'll get a more a better a better clear clear answer to that.
The good news is from Q2 to Q3, we continued to see those margins positively impacted even as we've had more revenue on the residential side and even more revenue on the commercial side I come back into the business.
Okay, and you know what I think you were pretty much did answer.
Oh.
Excuse me. This is the operator only two questions per participant and then you can re enter the question queue. After that the next question is from Seth Weber RBC capital market. Please go ahead Sir.
Hi, Good morning, and I'd also like to extend my condolences to everybody there.
I wanted to ask about the commercial business, you mentioned that trends improved sequentially month to month.
And I was just wondering you know I think you said for the quarter organic was down about 3.7 can you just talk about they did did it end up with September and in positive territory in the commercial side or is that still.
Trending negative through September thanks.
Yes, I think we're I think we're still a negative. So you know we have a we have a few different operations that have some heavy concentration in areas that are the most impacted right now and we have a heavy concentration and the New York City area. Both of you that are there around that area know and understand the impact of what's going on there.
But but we're definitely seeing improvements in other areas that are.
That I've had an opportunity to open back up and as businesses I've been able to make those decisions and our sales group continues to do a good job looking and and and working on those verticals, where we know that theres less impact.
Care side and on logistics and those things like that they continue to do a nice job in those areas. So.
So positive improvements, but I, but I wouldn't say that were positive quite yet.
Okay, and then just a follow up on that I think I heard in some of the S. Junaid discussion that bad debt expense actually got better can you just talk about your you know your collection efforts and what kind of.
Trends, you're seeing on the commercial side was with respect to any kind of customer.
You know customer pain or just.
Extensions that are happening on the commercial side, specifically on the collections. Thanks.
On the collection side on the residential side is where we saw our improvements that occurred and those were in our larger brands and if you think about our larger brands that are going to have residential base as large residential bases, our orkin brand or Hometeam Brad.
Clark, Brad I'll have larger residential bases and we were able to see improvements there on the commercial side, obviously that continues to be a struggle. We made adjustments to payment terms, mostly in Q2 with our customers that we made the decision to do that with a we really didnt have a lot of new customers in Q.
Three where we had requested we made adjustments for that.
But.
But the but the high profile bankruptcies that you read about and that we read about a lot of those in cases, our customers. So we've we've worked really diligently to minimize our exposure in those areas.
And you know the the news for US there is that a lot a lot of those customers that are on that bankruptcy list have been on that list for the past year, you know so well before the pandemic occurred they were on our watch list, we were minimizing our exposure at that point in time, but the reality is the customers that are that are struggling to stay in business today or just.
Working day to day, and we're trying to work with them as a partner, but the collections on that side is slightly slower but on the residential side with a positive impact.
That's great color I appreciate it thank you very much.
We have a question from Mario poured a lot cheaper Jefferies. Please go ahead Sir.
Thank you I'd also like to send my condolences to all of you and.
And Gary and in your family I'm very sorry for your loss.
My question is.
Around the disinfectant business specifically in commercial.
I guess could you give a sense of what kind of uptick you're seeing there how much uptake you're seeing from customers and the reason why I'm just to understand how much of the improvement in revenue and Tony on the commercial side.
Ben this offset from the different disinfectant business versus having customers come back.
Either either either coming back or increasing the amount of service that they're getting.
So it's I would I'm sure John is going to have some some comments that if he'd like to add but I would say if you look at those two categories. It would be more weighted towards customers coming back.
But the disinfectant and new services in many of our brands has been it has been a positive impact for us.
To be able to go through an add on the revenue side you know what we see from the disinfect inside our customers that have had some sort of incident occur but need to ensure that they have this taking care of them and the cleanliness and their workplace either for their customers or for their employees. Those are the ones that we have a shorter sales cycle for us.
On that one and need to get something in place.
Others that know this is the right thing to do that aren't necessarily under the same pressure, we've had a little bit of a longer sales cycle.
And we're learning as we continue to move forward, but it continues to grow for us, but I would say if you had to differentiate between those two that weve had more incremental business that has that has come back yeah, you're exactly right the impact from the nor can we call the bottom cleaner various brands have.
Different names that they're calling it as they go to market, but the impact on the gap for commercial revenue to a year ago is very small from data plane. Most most of it has been from customers returning to services there as their needs change.
Yes, yes, yes.
We don't have a lot of view of things that are kind of outside of our area, where we are as we know most of us aren't traveling these days.
We just know what our view is here in Georgia.
And you know a lot of things have open back up into our enter more close to to what we knew before and and you contrast that with something like the New York City area, where it where it is significantly different than what it was like before so it's those pockets that are seeing those incremental improvements that we're able to see customers come back.
Back and we're able to continue to be able to service them can I add one thing to that.
We're very fortunate that.
Then in most of our commercial accounts thing related hospitality related.
Health related.
They can put the service off indefinitely.
They know that the past will come back the way they got started up again with receiving merchandise from outside and so forth. So.
That's a positive thing that we're disappointed when when they differ service, but our experience has been is they will be back and.
And I think our numbers are showing that okay.
Great. Thank you and then just on M&A.
Hi, I'm, sorry, if you wish to ask a third question. Please dial back in press Star. One. The next question is from Mr., Michael Hoffman Stifel Nicholas and company. Please go ahead Sir.
Thank you very much and like my colleagues, we wish your family the best Gary.
Thank you.
I have two questions I have are focused on organic growth and then on margins on the organic growth side.
We're noticing a crossed the Stifel coverage broadly that work from home as having interesting positive, but mostly positive.
Consequences.
To like Pentair reported extraordinary pool numbers, and so on and so forth.
Can you disaggregate, the 9% and help us understand how much is being influenced by.
People are all at home and so they're ordering maybe adding mosquito in tech and the war there that you spoke to the wildlife number versus its net new customer adds.
So we can understand the influence and then what are your thoughts about how that starts to anniversary.
Well, yeah, I think from equity I mean, as you know we don't we don't break out customers and things like that I will tell you that we have had.
HM.
Great customer new customer growth.
But I cant really and I don't I don't know that we really know exactly how much of this is being driven by someone at home that is adding the mosquito versus that they would want the mosquito our mosquito continues to grow at a 30% plus rate.
As a as it has for the previous few years, that's a little bit of a higher base, it's still a low base, but it's a little bit of a higher base of what we've seen previously but.
But we are seeing good good new customer growth that has come out of this now you know as far as when it comes time to lap this I can't.
I can't answer that either you know just because we just don't know we don't know to people continue to work from home you know well, we have situations, where there's an additional need for more services.
We anticipate that our retention of those customers will be higher because as we talked before as we as we add an additional service the retention of those of those customers improves for us so as they add mosquito or as they add one of our other services that retention rate does increase in your job sharing that at least in our order.
And brand that we've seen that across the across the board in all of our services there. So.
Good customer growth and.
But probably the best that we can we can say at this point.
Okay, all right on.
On the margin side between gross margins and then as a cost as today.
So the gross margin came down 100 basis points sequentially, which makes sense, if you're bringing back furloughed people. That's how we flushed out the sort of that returning a people issue and then on the M&A side clearly have shown a lot of discipline in the management of that in an absolute dollar basis as well as per.
China revenue how much of that is.
Annual accrual things that will come back versus its permanent.
So I think the first part of your question I think we've pretty much moved through all the furlough process that we had just a very small number there that would still be.
We should be making decisions on but I think Q2, we saw the majority that Q3, its kind of move through.
On the structural side on the SGN a like I was answering earlier were later than we were when we went into this we.
We did have some positive impact.
That impacted through up through our bad debt.
But we also saw very strong improving.
Improvements in our administrative salaries.
Israel is there as well with our our personnel related so structurally on the people side I think Q2 Q3, we're seeing we're seeing kind of similar trends there and you know we use technology to be able to make us better and be able to make us more efficient as we're as we're moving forward.
Okay. Thanks, I'll come back again, thank you.
We have a further question from Mr., Tim Mulrooney William Blair. Please go ahead.
Hey, Thanks for taking my my next question.
Eddie I just wanted to follow up on your previous answer to me.
Where you said that one of your greatest improvements and reduction of miles driven was this quarter is that due to anything that you're I guess doing differently or are your branches, just becoming more mature on the VR I'm system I I guess, maybe I'm just looking for a general update on where you're at with your Tech tech initiatives and rollout.
Yes, [laughter], Virginia, Yeah. So so yes, I would say I would say two things and junk that's something that as well. So I think you think lets say you know one maturity continues to move forward in time.
You know as we continue to have retention of our technicians, that's going to be a positive thing for us but.
But you know we have this four stages of our routing and scheduling and we're just we're in kind of in its phase two of this four stage and as we continue to layer on additional technology pieces that are kind of behind the scenes for the operation that's going to continue to drive improvement. So I would see I would see improvements will continue to to be positive as well.
Going forward.
Two things that in the first one is very similar but greater adoption, Tim no doubt with our branch operations.
But then also greater density with the huge amount of residential customers. We've added commercial coming back. We're just have greater density on our routes sure well one other thing that we have to look forward to we just not have all of our brands on our routing and scheduling that's right.
