TERMINIX GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations (collectively, “Terminix,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading provider of essential services to residential and commercial customers in the termite and pest management markets. Our portfolio of well‑recognized brands includes Terminix, Copesan, Assured Environments, Gregory Pest Solutions, McCloud Services, Nomor and Pelias. All consolidated Company subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our operations are organized into 1 reportable segment, our pest management and termite business.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We recommend that the quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC (the “2020 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be achieved for any other interim period or for the full year due to the seasonality of our business, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Sale of ServiceMaster Brands

On January 21, 2020, we announced we were exploring strategic alternatives related to ServiceMaster Brands, including the potential sale of the business. The divestiture group included the assets and liabilities of the ServiceMaster Brands businesses, which was comprised of the Amerispec, Furniture Medic, Merry Maids, ServiceMaster Clean and ServiceMaster Restore brands, certain assets and liabilities of ServiceMaster Acceptance Corporation, our financing subsidiary, and the ServiceMaster trade name (the “ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group”). On October 1, 2020, we completed the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group to RW Purchaser LLC, an affiliate of investment funds managed by Roark Capital Management LLC (“Roark”). The ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group is reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in discontinued operations.

COVID-19

Since March 11, 2020 when the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic, we have experienced increased demand in our residential pest management and termite and home services service lines as customers are spending more time at home. We have also experienced disruptions in our business, primarily in the commercial pest management service line, driven by temporary business closures and service postponements, and in our product sales and other service line. We continue to focus on initiatives to ensure the safety and productivity of our teammates, including personal protective equipment and safety policies and measures for field teammates, and technology to facilitate remote working, with most back-office and all call center teammates working remotely and field support teammates working remotely where possible.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 30, 2021, other than those described below.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021, including the applicable retrospective and prospective provisions therein. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021.

In November 2020, the SEC issued Rule 33-10890, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Selected Financial Data, and Supplementary Financial Information.” This rule could be early adopted in its entirety as of February 10, 2021. The rule modernized, simplified and enhanced financial statement disclosures required by Regulation S-K. We early adopted all the provisions in the rule as of February 10, 2021, which primarily resulted in the elimination of duplicative disclosure of legal matters and improved discussions within management’s discussion and analysis.

We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.

Note 3. Revenues

The following tables present our reportable segment revenues from continuing operations, disaggregated by revenue source and geographic area. We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into major product lines. We determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. European pest management revenue is now presented within Commercial Pest Management below, and prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue by major service line was as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Major service line
Residential Pest Management	$	192	$	182	$	358	$	341

Sales of Products and Other		34		32		50		50
Total	$	560	$	534	$	1,032	$	990

Revenue by geographic area was as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
United States	$	526	$	510	$	967	$	941
International		34		24		64		49
Total	$	560	$	534	$	1,032	$	990

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contracts with customers are generally for a period of one year or less and are generally renewable. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized on services once we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to the services provided. All accounts receivables are recorded within Receivables, less allowances, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The current portion of Notes receivable, which represents amounts financed for customers, are included within Receivables, less allowances, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and totaled $26 million and $27 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Deferred revenue represents a contract liability and is recognized when cash payments are received in advance of the performance of services, including when the amounts are refundable. Amounts are recognized as revenue upon completion of services.

Changes in deferred revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

(In millions)	Deferred revenue
Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	102
Deferral of revenue		82
Recognition of deferred revenue		(75)
Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	110
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	92
Deferral of revenue		63
Recognition of deferred revenue		(59)
Balance as of June 30, 2020	$	95

Additionally, approximately $17 million and $15 million of deferred revenue was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, primarily related to our acquisition of Nomor.

There was approximately $18 million and $49 million of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020. There was approximately $16 million and $40 million of revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019.

Note 4. Restructuring and Other Charges

We incurred restructuring charges of $2 million ($2 million, net of tax) and $8 million ($6 million, net of tax) in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We incurred restructuring charges of $9 million ($7 million, net of tax) and $12 million ($9 million, net of tax) in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Restructuring and Other Charges included costs to simplify our back-office and align administrative functions as a singularly focused pest management company following the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group. We expect substantially all of our accrued restructuring charges to be paid within the next 12 months.

Restructuring charges were comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Severance	$	2	$	4	$	5	$	5

Note 5. Discontinued Operations

On October 1, 2020, we completed the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group for $1,541 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $494 million, net of taxes. The historical results of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. For all periods after the sale, discontinued operations includes the gain on sale and incidental costs to complete the sale.

In connection with the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group, the Company and Roark entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) pursuant to which the Company provides certain post-closing services to Roark and ServiceMaster Brands related to the business of ServiceMaster Brands. The charges for the transition services are designed to allow us to fully recover the direct costs of providing the services, plus specified margins and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses. The Company and Roark also entered into a sublease agreement pursuant to which ServiceMaster Brands subleases a portion of our corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. We recognized $2 million and $3 million of TSA fees, rental income and other cost reimbursements in Selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Payments received for TSA fees, for other cost reimbursements and pursuant to the sublease agreement were $2 million and $6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2021, we had a receivable from Roark of $1 million included in Receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

We carry insurance policies on insurable risks at levels that we believe to be appropriate, including workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks. We purchase insurance policies from third-party insurance carriers, which typically incorporate significant deductibles or self-insured retentions. We are responsible for all claims that fall below the retention limits, exceed our coverage limits or are otherwise not covered by our insurance policies. In determining our accrual for self-insured claims, we use historical claims experience to establish both the current year accrual and the underlying provision for future losses. This actuarially determined provision and related accrual include known claims, as well as incurred but not reported claims. We adjust our estimate of accrued self-insured claims when required to reflect changes based on factors such as changes in health care costs, accident frequency and claim severity.

In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions. While the maximum amount to which we may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, we do not expect these guarantees and indemnifications to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A reconciliation of beginning and ending accrued self-insured claims, which are included in Accrued liabilities—Self-insured claims and related expenses and Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, net of insurance recoverables, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, is presented as follows:

Our business is subject to a significant number of damage claims related to termite activity in homes for which we provide termite control services, often accompanied by a termite damage warranty. Our termite damage warranty is a differentiator in the industry that has enabled us to become a market leader of this product line. Termite damage claims include circumstances when a customer notifies us that they have experienced damage to their property and we reach an agreement to remediate that damage (a “Non-Litigated Claim”); and circumstances when we do not reach an agreement with a customer to remediate the damage and that

10

customer initiates litigation or arbitration proceedings (a “Litigated Claim”). We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Current activity can differ, causing a change in estimates which could be material.

A reconciliation of beginning and ending accrued Litigated Claims, which are included in Accrued liabilities—Other and Other long-term obligations, primarily self-insured claims on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and Non-Litigated Claims, which are included in Accrued liabilities—Self-insured claims and related expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, is presented as follows:

Mobile Bay Formosan Termite Settlement

In November 2020, the Company entered into the Consent Judgment and Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement”) with the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Alabama (the “AL AG”) and other Alabama state regulators, primarily related to termite renewal pricing changes we made in our branches in Mobile, Alabama and Gulf Shores, Alabama, which comprise all of our customers in the area, (collectively, the “Mobile Bay Area”) in 2019 and certain other termite inspection and treatment practices regarding the control of Formosan termites in that area that allegedly violated the Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act (the “ADTPA”). The Settlement provides for: immediate remediation measures to be provided directly to current and former customers in the Mobile Bay Area, including refunds of certain price increases, rebates to certain former customers, the establishment of a $25 million consumer fund and a related receiver to oversee our compliance with these commitments and to act as an arbitrator for certain Non-litigated Claims; the reimbursement of certain investigative and monitoring costs incurred by the AL AG’s office and the Department of Agriculture and Industries; and a university endowment intended to support termite and pest management research with an emphasis on Formosan termite research. The Company has also agreed to pay the state of Alabama $19 million.

Pursuant to the Settlement, we have also agreed to provide the opportunity to reinstate service for certain customers who canceled their services during specified timeframes as well as the retreatment of certain customer premises and a commitment to certain specified response and remediation timeframes for future termite damage claims. We do not expect the financial impact of these additional remedies to have a material impact on our prospective results of operations or cash flows.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company funded the $25 million consumer fund, from which certain monetary liabilities from settlements of, or judgments in, the covered Settlement are paid by the fund’s receiver. The amount in the consumer fund is held in escrow by the receiver and is classified as a deposit within Prepaid expenses and other assets and with an offsetting liability recorded within Accrued liabilities – Other on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The fund’s receiver has paid a total of $5 million from the fund through the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an increase in expense related to the settlement of $4 million due to a higher than anticipated customer participation rate.

State of Mississippi Formosan Termite Litigation

On April 22, 2021, the State of Mississippi brought litigation against us related to our termite inspection and treatment practices. The Company disputes the claims made in the litigation and intends to defend the matter vigorously. However, given the uncertainty of litigation, the preliminary stage of the case, and the legal standards that must be met for success on the merits, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of the Mississippi litigation.

Other Litigation

In addition to the matters discussed above, in the ordinary course of conducting business activities, we and our subsidiaries become involved in judicial, administrative and regulatory proceedings involving both private parties and governmental authorities. We accrue for these liabilities when it is probable the future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Current activity can differ, causing a change in estimates which could be material. These proceedings include insured and uninsured matters that are brought on an individual, collective, representative and class action basis, or other proceedings involving regulatory, employment, general and commercial liability, automobile liability, wage and hour, environmental, shareholder and other matters. We have entered into settlement agreements in certain cases, including with respect to putative collective and class actions, which are subject to court or other approvals, and which require compliance with the terms of the agreements. If one or more of our settlements

11

are not finally approved and implemented, we could have additional or different exposure, which could be material. Subject to the paragraphs above, we do not expect any of these proceedings to have a material effect on our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, we can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect our reputation, business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, primarily trade names, are not amortized and are subject to assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential impairment. There were 0 impairment charges recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. There were 0 accumulated impairment losses recorded as of June 30, 2021. Customer relationships and Other intangible assets, which primarily includes trade names subject to amortization, are amortized over their respective useful lives.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

For each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6 million ($4 million, net of tax) and $5 million ($4 million, net of tax), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $11 million ($9 million, net of tax) and $10 million ($7 million, net of tax), respectively. These charges are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

As of June 30, 2021, there were $38 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units granted under the Amended and Restated Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.99 years.

On February 24, 2015, our board of directors approved and recommended for approval by our stockholders the Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Employee Stock Purchase Plan”), which became effective for offering periods commencing July 1, 2015. On April 27, 2015, our stockholders approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a maximum of 1 million shares of common stock authorized for sale under the plan. On November 3, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the 1 million shares of common stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our affiliates. Our Compensation Committee amended the Employee Stock Purchase Plan in February 2019 to allow for more frequent purchase periods and to change the allowed 10 percent discount to a company match of 10 percent of employee contributions. The authorized number of shares remaining in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from 843,584 and the expiration date of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was not changed from April 27, 2025. As of June 30, 2021, there were 762,190 shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Note 9. Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income, which primarily includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and the effect of foreign currency translation, is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

During 2019, we terminated our then-existing $650 million interest rate swap, receiving $12 million from the counterparty. The fair value of the terminated agreement is recorded within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and will be amortized into interest expense over the original term of the agreement. The remaining unamortized balance at June 30, 2021 was $5 million.

Note 13. Acquisitions

Acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since their dates of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of these businesses were recorded in the financial statements at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used available cash on hand to fund a $45 million investment in acquisitions, which included $36 million for 5 tuck-in acquisitions. Another $5 million of deferred purchase price is due to the sellers between one year and three years from the acquisition dates. We also completed approximately $9 million of funding for a minority interest investment, approximately $8 million of which was included in Accrued liabilities‒Other on the Consolidated Statements of Financial position as of December 31, 2020. We recorded preliminary goodwill of $25 million and other intangibles, primarily customer relationships, of $14 million. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions will be finalized no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates. For incomplete purchase price allocations, we are evaluating working capital balances, the intangible and tangible assets acquired and appropriate useful lives to assign to all assets, including intangibles.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used available cash on hand to fund a $24 million investment in acquisitions, which included $7 million for 7 tuck-in acquisitions, as well as $18 million for final funding for 2 pest management acquisitions and minority interests completed in 2019 that were included in Accrued liabilities—Other on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of December 31, 2019. Another $2 million of deferred purchase price on the 2020 acquisitions is due to the sellers between one year and three years from the acquisition dates. As of June 30, 2021, we had recorded $3 million of goodwill for the 2020 acquisitions. We also made a minority investment in a pest management company for approximately $7 million, which was unfunded and is included in Accrued liabilities—Other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also received $3 million from post-closing working capital adjustments related to acquisitions completed in 2019.

Supplemental cash flow information regarding the acquisitions was as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020
Assets acquired	$	40	$	9
Liabilities assumed		—		—
Net assets acquired	$	40	$	9
Net cash paid	$	36	$	7
Seller financed debt		5		2
Purchase price	$	40	$	9

Note 14. Income Taxes

As required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” we compute interim period income taxes by applying an anticipated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date income or loss from continuing operations before income taxes, except for significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. Our estimated tax rate is adjusted each quarter in accordance with ASC 740.

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 27.9 percent and 31.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 28.1 percent and 28.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $14 million and $14 million, respectively, of tax benefits primarily reflected in U.S. Federal and state tax returns that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes (“unrecognized tax benefits”). Based on information currently available, it is reasonably possible that over the next 12 month period unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $2 million as the result of settlements of ongoing audits, statute of limitation expirations or final settlements of uncertain tax positions in multiple jurisdictions. Our policy is to recognize interest income, interest expense and penalties related to our tax positions within the tax provision.

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements

The period-end carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The period-end carrying amounts of long-term notes receivable approximate fair value as the effective interest rates for these instruments are comparable to period-end market rates. The period-end carrying amounts of short- and long-term marketable securities also approximate fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in interest and net investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The carrying amount of total debt was $878 million and $920 million, and the estimated fair value was $951 million and $989 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of our debt is estimated based on available market prices for the same or similar instruments which are considered significant other observable inputs (Level 2) within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values presented reflect the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to us as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market and income approaches. For deferred compensation trust assets and derivative contracts, which are carried at their fair values, our fair value estimates incorporate quoted market prices, other observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and unobservable inputs (for example, forward commodity prices) at the balance sheet date.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued using forward interest rate curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract interest rate to the expected forward interest rate as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the two rates to the notional amount of debt in the interest rate swap contracts.

Fuel swap contracts are valued using forward fuel price curves obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract fuel price to the expected forward fuel price as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the contract and expected prices to the notional gallons in the fuel swap contracts. We regularly review the forward price curves obtained from third-party market data providers and related changes in fair value for reasonableness utilizing information available to us from other published sources.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps are valued using forward foreign currency exchange rates obtained from third-party market data providers. The fair value of each contract is the sum of the expected future settlements between the contract counterparties, discounted to present value. The expected future settlements are determined by comparing the contract foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Swedish krona as of each settlement date and applying the difference between the two rates to the notional amount of the investment in the cross-currency interest rate swap contracts.

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, fuel swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap designated as a net investment hedge are recorded within Other comprehensive (loss) income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, offsetting foreign currency fluctuations on the hedged instrument. Interest accruals and coupon payments are recognized directly in interest expense, thus reflecting a Swedish krona fixed rate. Upon discontinuation of the net investment hedge, the changes in spot value and any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness that have not been recognized in earnings will remain within CTA until the hedged net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated.

We have not changed our valuation techniques for measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between levels during each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The following tables present information relating to the significant unobservable inputs of our Level 3 financial instruments:

	Fair Value		Valuation			Weighted
	(in millions)		Technique	Unobservable Input	Range	Average
As of June 30, 2021:
Fuel swap contracts	$	6	Discounted Cash Flows	Forward Unleaded Price per Gallon(1)	$2.96 - $3.34	$	3.14
As of December 31, 2020:
Fuel swap contracts	$	3	Discounted Cash Flows	Forward Unleaded Price per Gallon(1)	$2.20 - $2.58	$	2.44

___________________________________

(1)Forward prices per gallon were derived from third-party market data providers. A decrease in the forward price would result in a decrease in the fair value of the fuel swap contracts.

As of June 30, 2021, we had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $18 million, maturing through 2022. Under the terms of our fuel swap contracts, we are required to post collateral in the event that the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the counterparty. As of June 30, 2021, we had posted $2 million in letters of credit as collateral under our fuel hedging program, which were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. These amounts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted debt interest settlement or the fuel settlement affects earnings. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and for the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months includes unrealized gains and losses related to open fuel hedges and interest rate swaps. Specifically, as the underlying forecasted transactions occur during the next 12 months, the hedging gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in earnings is a gain of less than $1 million, net of tax, as of June 30, 2021. The amounts that are ultimately reclassified into earnings will be based on actual fuel prices and interest rates at the time the positions are settled and may differ materially from the amount noted above.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and performance share units are reflected in diluted earnings per share by applying the treasury stock method.

A reconciliation of the amounts included in the computation of basic earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Income from continuing operations	$	54	$	40	$	81	$	41
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		127.4		131.9		129.3		133.4
Effect of dilutive securities:
RSUs		0.3		0.1		0.3		0.1
Stock options(1)		0.2		0.0		0.2		0.0
Weighted-average common shares outstanding—assuming dilution		127.8		132.0		129.8		133.5

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.42	$	0.30	$	0.62	$	0.31

___________________________________

(1)Options to purchase 0.1 million and 1.6 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and 0.1 million and 1.4 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly in “—Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Our core services include residential and commercial termite and pest management under the following brands: Terminix, Copesan, Assured Environments, Gregory, McCloud, Nomor and Pelias. Our operations for the periods presented in this report are organized into one reportable segment, our pest management and termite business.

COVID-19

Since March 11, 2020 when the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic, we have experienced increased demand in our residential pest management and termite and home services service lines as customers are spending more time at home. We have also experienced disruptions in our business, primarily in the commercial pest management service line, driven by temporary business closures and service postponements, and in our product sales and other service line. We expect the commercial pest market to stabilize to more normalized growth levels throughout the remainder of 2021. We continue to focus on initiatives to ensure the safety and productivity of our teammates, including personal protective equipment and safety policies and measures for field teammates, and technology to facilitate remote working, with most back-office and all call center teammates working remotely and field support teammates working remotely where possible. We will continue to evaluate the benefits, opportunities and risks identified from our remote working experiences to sustain and identify ways to reduce ongoing operating costs while balancing operational performance. It is reasonably possible that we could recognize additional lease impairment charges within the next 12 months, which could be material, if, for example, any subleases entered into are for less than our fixed rent. Refer to Results of Operations below for further discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Leadership Changes

On May 18, 2021, Mark Tomkins retired as a member of our board of directors. On June 29, 2021, the board expanded its directorships by two and appointed Teresa M. Sebastian and Chris S. Terrill as independent members of the board of directors to fill the vacancies created by the expansion.  

On July 6, 2021, Deidre Richardson joined the Company as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Joy Wald joined as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer.

Key Business Metrics

We focus on a variety of indicators and key operating and financial metrics to monitor the financial condition and performance of the continuing operations of our business. These metrics include:

revenue,

operating expenses,

net income and earnings per share,

Adjusted EBITDA,

organic revenue growth, and

customer retention.

To the extent applicable, these measures are evaluated with and without impairment, restructuring and other charges that management believes are not indicative of the earnings capabilities of our business. We also focus on measures designed to monitor cash flow, including net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations and free cash flow.

Revenue. Our revenue results are primarily a function of the volume and pricing of the services and products provided to our customers by our business as well as the mix of services and products provided across our business. The volume of our revenue is impacted by new unit sales, the retention of our existing customers and acquisitions. We serve both residential and commercial customers, principally in the U.S. We expect to continue our tuck-in acquisition program and to periodically evaluate other strategic acquisitions. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 94 percent of our revenue was generated by sales in the United States.

Operating Expenses. In addition to the impact of changes in our revenue results, our operating results are affected by, among other things, the level of our operating expenses. A number of our operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures, such as fuel, chemicals, wages and salaries, teammate benefits and health care, vehicles, personal protective equipment, self-insurance costs and other insurance premiums, as well as various regulatory compliance costs.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-

20

average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding had potential dilutive shares of common stock been issued. The dilutive effect of stock options and RSUs are reflected in diluted net income per share by applying the treasury stock method. The presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share provides GAAP measures of performance which are useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties in company-to-company operating performance comparisons.

Adjusted EBITDA. We evaluate performance and allocate resources based primarily on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before: depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition-related costs; Mobile Bay Formosan termite settlement; non-cash stock-based compensation expense; restructuring and other charges; net earnings from discontinued operations; provision for income taxes; and interest expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors, analysts and other interested parties as it facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, acquisition activity, taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment, restructuring initiatives and equity-based, long-term incentive plans. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated or comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. 

A reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net Income	$	54	$	53	$	81	$	67

Interest expense		11		22		23		45
Adjusted EBITDA	$	123	$	119	$	213	$	179

Organic Revenue Growth. We use organic revenue growth to track performance, including the impacts of sales, pricing, new service offerings, customer retention and other growth initiatives. Organic revenue growth excludes revenue from acquired customers for 12 months following the acquisition date. We believe organic revenue growth is useful for investors, analysts and other invested parties as it facilitates company-to-company performance comparisons by excluding the impact of acquisitions on revenue growth. See Revenue below for a reconciliation of revenue growth to organic revenue growth.

Customer Retention. Customer retention is used to track the retention of our renewable customers and is calculated on a rolling, 12-month basis in order to avoid seasonal anomalies.

Seasonality

We have seasonality in our business, which drives fluctuations in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for interim periods. In 2020, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by quarter was recognized as follows:

	Q1		Q2		Q3		Q4
Revenue	23	%	27	%	26	%	23	%
Adjusted EBITDA	17	%	34	%	28	%	20	%

Effect of Weather Conditions

The demand for our services and our results of operations are also affected by weather conditions, including the seasonal nature of our termite and pest management services. Weather conditions which have a potentially unfavorable impact to our business include cooler temperatures or droughts which can impede the development of termite swarms and lead to lower demand for our termite control services. Weather conditions which have a potentially favorable impact to our business include mild winters which can lead to higher demand for termite and pest management services.

Revenue

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

We reported revenue of $560 million and $534 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue by service line was as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		Growth				Organic				Acquired
Residential Pest Management	$	192	$	182	$	10	5	%	$	7	4	%	$	3	1	%
Commercial Pest Management		141		124		17	14	%		13	10	%		4	3	%
Termite and Home Services		193		196		(3)	(2)	%		(4)	(2)	%		—	—	%
Sales of Products and Other		34		32		3	8	%		3	8	%		—	—	%
Total revenue	$	560	$	534	$	26	5	%	$	19	4	%	$	7	1	%

Revenue growth was $26 million year over year, or five percent. Foreign currency fluctuations contributed $4 million, or approximately one percent, of total organic revenue growth.

Residential pest management revenue growth was five percent, reflecting organic revenue growth of four percent. Organic revenue growth was driven by improved price realization and improved trailing 12-month customer retention rates, offset, in part, by lower one-time sales. Residential pest management revenue also increased one percent from acquisitions completed in the last 12 months.

Commercial pest management growth was 14 percent. Organic revenue growth of 10 percent was driven by the continued steady improvement in temporary cancellations and improved price realization in the domestic commercial business in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as double-digit international growth. Foreign currency fluctuations contributed $4 million, or three percent, of the commercial pest management organic revenue growth. Commercial pest management revenue also increased three percent from acquisitions completed in the last 12 months.

Termite revenue decreased two percent. Home services, which are managed as a component of our termite line of business and include wildlife exclusion, crawl space encapsulation and attic insulation, growth was three percent, primarily as a result of improved cross selling opportunities to existing customers. A one percent decline in core termite completions year over year was primarily driven by double-digit growth in core termite completions in the same quarter of 2020. Termite renewals decreased five percent, primarily due to an approximately $5 million impact from the change in the timing of revenue recognition in our new monthly subscription-based termite offering.

In the three months ended June 30, 2021, termite renewal revenue comprised 41 percent of total termite revenue, while the remainder consisted of termite new unit revenue. Termite activity is unpredictable in its nature. Factors that can impact termite activity include conducive weather conditions and consumer awareness of termite swarms.

Sales of products and other revenue growth was eight percent due to the COVID-19 impacts on three months ended June 30, 2020 revenue.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

We reported revenue of $1,032 million and $990 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue by service line was as follows:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		Growth				Organic				Acquired
Residential Pest Management	$	358	$	341	$	17	5	%	$	14	4	%	$	3	1	%
Commercial Pest Management		270		248		21	9	%		16	7	%		5	2	%
Termite and Home Services		354		351		3	1	%		3	1	%		—	—	%
Sales of Products and Other		50		50		—	—	%		—	—	%		—	—	%
Total revenue	$	1,032	$	990	$	42	4	%	$	33	3	%	$	9	1	%

Revenue growth was $42 million year over year, or four percent. Foreign currency fluctuations contributed $7 million, or approximately one percent, of total organic revenue growth.

Residential pest management revenue growth was five percent, reflecting organic growth of four percent. Organic revenue growth was driven by improved price realization and improved trailing 12-month retention rates, offset, in part, by lower one-time sales. Residential pest management revenue also increased one percent from acquisitions completed in the last 12 months.

Commercial pest management revenue growth was nine percent. Organic revenue growth of seven percent was driven by the continued steady improvement in temporary cancellations and improved price realization in the domestic commercial business in the

23

wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as strong double-digit international growth. Foreign currency fluctuations contributed $7 million, or three percent, of the commercial pest management organic revenue growth. Commercial pest management revenue also increased two percent from acquisitions completed in the last 12 months.

Termite revenue growth was one percent. Termite completions increased three percent, driven by sales of our new monthly pay tiered termite product. Home services, which are managed as a component of our termite line of business and include wildlife exclusion, crawl space encapsulation and attic insulation, growth was eight percent, primarily as a result of improved cross selling opportunities to existing customers. Termite renewals decreased four percent, primarily due to an approximately $10 million impact from the change in the timing of revenue recognition in our new monthly subscription-based termite offering.

Sales of Product and Other remained flat as the growth experienced in the second quarter of 2021 was offset by the impact of tighter inventory management by larger distributors and increased transit times on shipments of products to customers in response to COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021.

Cost of Services Rendered and Products Sold

We reported cost of services rendered and products sold of $318 million and $297 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $588 and $577 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020, costs of services rendered and products sold increased seven percent, or one percent as a percentage of revenue, primarily attributable to the flowthrough from higher revenue. Production labor increased $6 million as a result of increased turnover from the historic lows in 2020 which resulted in increased overtime pay in 2021, as well as a revenue mix shift due to strong growth in commercial pest management. This was offset, in part, by a $4 million decrease in chemicals and materials and vehicle costs, driven by lower chemical and fuel costs and improvements in our fleet management. Indirect costs to serve our customers, primarily at our contact centers, increased over prior year as we align administrative functions as a singularly focused pest management company, offsetting a decrease in general and administrative costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020, costs of services rendered and products sold increased two percent, or decreased one percent as a percentage of revenue, primarily attributable to the flowthrough from higher revenue. Production labor was flat for the year to date period, driven, in part, by improved labor management in the first quarter of 2021 and COVID-19-related inefficiencies which negatively impacted the first quarter of 2020, offset by increased turnover and overtime pay and the impact of a revenue mix shift due to strong growth in commercial pest management in the second quarter of 2021. Other direct cost productivity decreased $10 million, driven by lower chemical costs and fuel prices and improvements in our fleet management. Termite damage claims increased $3 million year over year, driven by higher costs per Non-Litigated Claim due, in part, to inflationary pressure on building materials and contractor costs. Indirect costs to serve our customers, primarily at our contact centers, increased over prior year as we align administrative functions as a singularly focused pest management company, offsetting a decrease in general and administrative costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

The following table provides a summary of selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Selling and marketing expenses	$	72	$	70	$	131	$	130
General and administrative expenses		71		73		149		153
Total Selling and administrative expenses	$	143	$	143	$	280	$	283

Selling and marketing expenses increased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020, primarily related to increased commission payments and flat marketing costs as a percent of revenue. General and administrative costs decreased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2020, primarily due to back-office reductions as the company aligns itself as a singularly focused pest management business. This decrease was offset by investments in the Customer Experience Platform (“CxP”) and Terminix Way, which increased $2 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 as we launched the Terminix Way initiative and begin to roll out CxP. We believe the Terminix Way initiative will enhance standard operating procedures, develop robust training curriculums and establish career paths for our teammates, while CxP will improve our marketing capabilities and service delivery through an easy-to-use, best-in-class operating system. We expect selling and administrative expenses to increase slightly in 2021 as we implement the Terminix Way initiative and roll out CxP.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense was $10 million and $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $19 million and $18 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The increase in amortization expense primarily reflects the effect of recent acquisitions.

24

Acquisition-Related Costs

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we reversed a previously accrued contingent consideration related to an acquisition for approximately $2 million as the contingency was not met. This offset approximately $1 million of acquisition-related costs incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. There were no acquisition related costs in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Acquisition-related costs were $1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Mobile Bay Formosan Termite Settlement

We incurred $4 million of additional costs related to the Mobile Bay Formosan termite settlement (as defined below) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, related to an increase in the projected customer response regarding certain remedies mandated by the Settlement, as described in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Other Charges

We incurred restructuring charges of approximately $2 million and $8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $9 million and $12 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Restructuring and Other Charges primarily included severance and costs to simplify our back-office and align administrative functions as a singularly focused pest management company following the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $11 million and $22 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $23 million and $45 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was principally driven by the retirement of all $750 million of our 5.125% Notes on November 15, 2020, using proceeds from the sale of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group.

Interest and Net Investment Income

Interest and net investment income was $1 million in the each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Interest and net investment income is comprised primarily of net investment gains from equity investments and interest income on other cash balances.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $73 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $110 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in income from continuing operations before income taxes in both periods primarily reflects the realization of cost savings and efficiency initiatives, as well as reduced interest driven by less long-term debt outstanding.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 27.9 percent and 31.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 28.1 percent and 28.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net Earnings from Discontinued Operations

Net earnings from discontinued operations were $13 million and $26 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting the results of the ServiceMaster Brands Divestiture Group for the period.

Net Income

Net income was $54 million and $53 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was primarily driven by a $14 million increase in income from continuing operations and $13 million lower net earnings from discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net income was $81 million and $67 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was primarily driven by a $40 million increase in income from continuing operations and $26 million lower net earnings from discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Production labor increased $6 million, related to increased turnover from historic lows in 2020 which resulted in increased overtime pay in 2021, and a revenue mix shift due to strong growth in commercial pest management. Other direct cost productivity, which included chemicals and materials and vehicle costs, decreased $4 million year over year, primarily driven by lower chemical costs, improvements in fleet management and lower fuel prices. Termite damage claims expenses increased $1 million driven by higher costs per Non-Litigated Claim due, in part, to inflationary pressure on building materials and contractor costs, primarily in the Mobile Bay Area. Investments in CxP and Terminix Way increased $2 million as we launch the Terminix Way initiative and begin to roll out CxP. Sales and marketing increased $3 million related to increased commission payments and flat marketing costs as a percent of revenue. Insurance reserves decreased $1 million year over year due to higher favorable adjustments in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. Other includes, among other things, indirect costs to serve our customers, primarily at our contact centers, which increased over prior year as we align administrative functions as a singularly focused pest management company. This increase was offset, in part, by a decrease in general and administrative costs from back-office reductions.

Litigated Claims exclude a number of claims in which the only material issue in dispute is the actual amount of repair costs, which are simpler to resolve and less volatile (“Non-Complex Litigated Claims”). The financial impacts of these Non-Complex Litigated Claims are included in the summary of Litigated and Non-Litigated Reserve Activity below and are not material to our financial condition or the results of our operations.

A summary of Litigated Claims and Non-Litigated Claims reserve activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

In addition, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include charges for legal fees associated with Litigated Claims of $1 million and $3 million, respectively. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 include charges for legal fees associated with Litigated Claims of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, and costs related to mitigation efforts in the Mobile Bay Area of $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

A portion of our liquidity needs are due to service requirements on our indebtedness. The Credit Facilities contain covenants that limit or restrict our ability, including the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, repurchase debt, incur liens, sell assets, make certain payments (including dividends) and enter into transactions with affiliates. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the covenants under the agreements that were in effect on such date.

Our ongoing liquidity needs are expected to be funded by cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and, as required, borrowings under the Credit Facilities. As of June 30, 2021, we had $691 million of immediate liquidity, which consisted of available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our Existing Revolving Credit Facility.

At June 30, 2021, there were $22 million of letters of credit outstanding and $378 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit are posted to satisfy collateral requirements under our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program and fuel swap contracts. We also have $89 million of cash collateral under our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program that is included as Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of June 30, 2021. We may from time to time change the amount of cash or marketable securities used to satisfy collateral requirements under our automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance program. The amount of cash or marketable securities utilized to satisfy these collateral requirements will depend on the relative cost of the issuance of letters of credit under the new Revolving Credit Facility and our cash position. Any change in cash or marketable securities used as collateral would result in a corresponding change in our available borrowing capacity under the new Revolving Credit Facility.

On September 25, 2020, our board of directors approved a three-year $400 million share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2021, we had $43 million of authority remaining under this program.

Under the terms of our fuel swap contracts, we are required to post collateral in the event the fair value of the contracts exceeds a certain agreed upon liability level and in other circumstances required by the agreement with the counterparty. As of June 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of our fuel swap contracts was a net asset of $6 million, and we had posted $2 million in letters of credit as collateral under our fuel hedging program. The continued use of letters of credit for this purpose in the future could limit our ability to post letters of credit for other purposes and could limit our borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. However, we do not expect the fair value of the outstanding fuel swap contracts to materially impact our financial position or liquidity.

We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire or extend our debt and/or take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These actions may include open market debt repurchases, negotiated repurchases, other retirements of outstanding debt and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be repurchased or otherwise retired or refinanced, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

Capital Resources

Fleet and Equipment Financing Arrangements

Our Fleet Agreement allows us to obtain fleet vehicles through a leasing program, among other things. We expect to fulfill substantially all of our vehicle fleet needs through the leasing program under the Fleet Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired $22 million of vehicles through the leasing program under the Fleet Agreement. All leases under the Fleet Agreement are finance leases for accounting purposes. The lease rental payments include an interest component calculated using a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus other contractual adjustments and a borrowing margin ranging from 1.33 percent to 2.45 percent. We have no minimum commitment for the number of vehicles to be obtained under the Fleet Agreement.

We anticipate new lease financings, including the Fleet Agreement and incremental leasing programs, for the full year 2021 will range from $60 million to $70 million. We expect to fulfill all our ongoing vehicle fleet needs through vehicle finance leases.

Other Capital Requirements

We anticipate capital expenditures for the full year 2021 will range from $30 million to $40 million, reflecting ongoing technology projects and recurring capital needs. We incurred $12 million of such costs in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Limitations on Distributions and Dividends by Subsidiaries

We are a holding company, and as such have no independent operations or material assets other than ownership of equity interests in our subsidiaries. We depend on our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us so that we may pay obligations and expenses, including satisfying obligations with respect to indebtedness. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions and dividends to us depends on their operating results, cash requirements and financial condition and general business conditions, as well as restrictions under the laws of our subsidiaries’ jurisdictions.

28

The agreements governing the Credit Facilities may restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or otherwise transfer assets to us. Further, our subsidiaries are permitted under the terms of the Credit Facilities and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us.

We consider the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes. While undistributed foreign earnings are no longer taxable under U.S. tax principles, actual repatriation from our non-U.S. subsidiaries could still be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state taxes.

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table.

	Six Months Ended

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations decreased $21 million to $151 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $172 million for six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 comprised $168 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and $21 million increase in cash required for working capital (a $23 million increase excluding the working capital impact of accrued interest and taxes), offset, in part, by $7 million in payments related to restructuring and other charges and acquisition-related costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, working capital requirements were favorably impacted by seasonal activity and the timing of interest and income tax payments. We deferred approximately $30 million of payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in 2020. We expect to pay 50 percent of the payroll deferral in 2021 and the remainder in 2022.

Additionally, we incurred $9 million of costs to implement our new customer experience platform in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which are included within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and Inventories and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Net cash provided from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 comprised $119 million in earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and a $62 million decrease in cash required for working capital (a $26 million decrease excluding the working capital impact of accrued interest and taxes), offset, in part, by $10 million in payments related to restructuring and other charges and acquisition related cost. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, working capital requirements were favorably impacted by the deferral of payroll and income tax payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and the collection of a federal income tax refund.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Cash paid for business acquisitions was $45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We expect to continue our tuck-in acquisition program and to periodically evaluate other strategic acquisitions.

Capital expenditures were $12 million and $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and included recurring capital needs, and information technology projects.

Cash flows used for notes receivable, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were negligible. Cash flows received for notes receivable, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $3 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $409 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $140 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

29

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased $350 million of common stock and received $8 million from the issuance of common stock through the exercise of stock options. In addition, we repaid $67 million of debt, which included approximately $40 million, net of accreted interest, primarily related to deferred purchase price and an earnout the 2018 purchase of Copesan. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased $103 million of common stock and received $3 million from the issuance of common stock through the exercise of stock options. In addition, we repaid $40 million of debt.

Mobile Bay Formosan Termite Settlement

In November 2020, the Company entered into the Settlement with the Office of the AL AG and other Alabama state regulators, primarily related to our termite renewal pricing changes we made in our branches in the Mobile Bay Area in 2019 and certain other termite inspection and treatment practices regarding the control of Formosan termites in that area that allegedly violated the ADTPA. The Settlement provides for: immediate remediation measures to be provided directly to current and former customers in the Mobile Bay Area, including refunds of certain price increases, rebates to certain former customers, the establishment of a $25 million consumer fund and a related receiver to oversee our compliance with these commitments and to act as an arbitrator for certain Non-litigated Claims; the reimbursement of certain investigative and monitoring costs incurred by the AL AG’s office and the Department of Agriculture and Industries; and a university endowment intended to support termite and pest management research with an emphasis on Formosan termite research. The Company has also agreed to pay the state of Alabama $19 million.

Pursuant to the Settlement, we have also agreed to provide the opportunity to reinstate service for certain customers who canceled their services during specified timeframes as well as the retreatment of certain customer premises and a commitment to certain specified response and remediation timeframes for future termite damage claims. We do not expect the financial impact of these remedies to have a material impact on our prospective results of operations or cash flows.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company funded the $25 million consumer fund, from which certain monetary liabilities from settlements of, or judgments in, the covered Settlement are paid by the fund’s receiver. The amount in the consumer fund is held in escrow by the receiver and is classified as a deposit within Prepaid expenses and other assets and with an offsetting liability recorded within Accrued liabilities – Other on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The fund’s receiver paid a total of $5 million from escrow through the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an increase in expense related to the settlement of $4 million due to a higher than anticipated customer participation rate.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The economy and its impact on discretionary consumer spending, labor wages, fuel prices and other material costs, unemployment rates, insurance costs and medical costs could have a material adverse impact on future results of operations.

We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have entered into specific financial arrangements, primarily fuel swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements, in the normal course of business to manage certain market risks, with a policy of matching positions and limiting the terms of contracts to relatively short durations. The effect of derivative financial instrument transactions could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps.

We have hedged substantially all of our variable rate debt under our interest rate swap and, therefore, we believe our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, when viewed on a net basis, is not material to our overall results of operations. Assuming all revolving loans were fully drawn as of June 30, 2021, each one percentage point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $4 million change in annual interest expense on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Fuel Price Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in fuel prices through the consumption of fuel by our vehicle fleet in the delivery of services to our customers. We expect to use approximately 12 million gallons of fuel in 2021. As of June 30, 2021, a 10 percent change in fuel prices would result in a change of approximately $4 million in our annual fuel cost before considering the impact of fuel swap contracts. 

We use fuel swap contracts to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices. As of June 30, 2021, we had fuel swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $18 million, maturing through 2022. The estimated fair value of these contracts as of June 30, 2021 was a net asset of $6 million. These fuel swap contracts provide a fixed price for approximately 93 percent of our estimated fuel usage for the remainder of 2021.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we entered into fuel swap contracts that provide a fixed price for approximately 48 percent of our estimated fuel usage for 2022.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk in Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and Chinese yuan. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate can have an impact on our operating results.

We have entered into a cross currency interest rate swap and a net investment hedge to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Swedish krona, our largest foreign currency exposure. These instruments provide a fixed translation rate on our approximately $200 million investment in Nomor. A hypothetical 10 percent adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar relative to exchange rates on June 30, 2021, would have resulted in a change in the fair value of this investment of approximately $20 million. The impact on income and other comprehensive income from these hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be substantially offset by the impact such changes would have on the related cross currency swap and net investment hedge contracts, respectively, which are in place for the related foreign currency denominated investment.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer, Brett T. Ponton, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Robert J. Riesbeck, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Messrs. Ponton and Riesbeck have concluded that both the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
