How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2
Your updated incremental margin guide is plus 10%, you did 8% in the first half.
Show response
Pressed on the modest H2 margin ramp; CFO cited fleet, procurement and retention levers but flagged a tough Q3 comp.
Calendar 2026 Q1
Maybe you could touch on the strategic rationale, what attracted you to their culture of that business?
Show response
Jerry said Romex was focused on residential pest control with complementary market positions and strong talent. Opportunity to add ancillary services leveraging Rollins expertise. Cultural alignment through a multi-meeting 'dating process' before acquisition.
I was hoping you could answer the question.
Show response
Ken said fuel is approximately 1.5% of sales, not hedged due to low exposure. Price increases reflect fuel volatility. Jerry added focus is on cost avoidance through reduced idling, fuel price apps, and fleet team-negotiated rebates.
Calendar 2025 Q4
will the weather impact be kind of similar to what you saw in fourth quarter?
Show response
Ken declined to predict Q1 weather impact but assured the team will work hard to fight through headwinds. November-December showed how quickly conditions can swing between frigid and warm.
maybe talk about some of the ancillary opportunities. I know you have a lot of shots on goal, a lot of things you are excited about.
Show response
Ken estimated less than 3-4% of customers use ancillary services, predominantly in Orkin only. Jerry highlighted cross-brand collaboration work with specialty brands like HomeTeam to pass ancillary business between sister companies.
