Also, while the top-line growth algorithm was unchanged, the composition and durability

are a bit clearer. Management effectively lays out a consistent growth stack: price (CPI+ or

3-4%), underlying market growth (1-3% contribution to ROL organic, but growing at a 6%

CAGR), and share/portfolio capture (+15-20% contributed to organic from ancillary & cross-sell).

The key incremental shift is that levers previously talked about as “upside” (ancillary

penetration, commercial scaling, retention lift, cross-brand collaboration) are positioned as

potential core parts of the growth engine. And within this:

•• “Core” residential can still screen mid-single digit, but adding the faster components of

termite/ancillary could skews the effective residential outcome higher. Ancillary moves

from “nice upside” to “core driver” and potentially a retention lever. Penetration remains low,

ticket is meaningfully higher than core pest, and the playbook is increasingly portable

beyond Orkin now. The most investable nuance is quality: ancillary was not described purely

as one-time upsell, but increasingly as something that can become more recurring

(inspection/renewability concepts) - linking it directly to retention and lifetime value rather

than just revenue lift.

°° Note: customer churn is framed as normal, but still large in absolute dollars —

suggesting even modest improvement results in meaningful upside – management

explicitly highlighted that “every percentage point of improvement translates to

meaningful results.” The operationally important point is that churn reduction is
