Oct 29 (Reuters) - Rollins beat analysts'

estimates for third-quarter profit on Wednesday, driven by

resilient demand for its pest-control and hygiene services.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Rollins benefited from consistent year-round demand for its

services even as cooler weather began to ease seasonal pest

activity.

The company provides pest control services including

termite, bed bug, and rodent infestation treatment.

Sanitation and pest-control checks remained a priority for

both households and businesses.

"Double-digit revenue growth drove exceptional earnings and

cash flow results in the quarter," CFO Kenneth Krause said.

BY THE NUMBERS

The company's revenue rose 12% to $1.026 billion during the

quarter ended September 30, compared with analysts' average

estimate of $1.021 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

The Atlanta, Georgia-based company's adjusted profit per

share was 35 cents, while analysts had estimated 33 cents.

Adjusted operating margin was 22.6%, up 120 basis points

over a year earlier.
