Q2 Expectations for ROL
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.1 million. The metric is expected to rise 9.8% year over year.
Based on the line of business, we expect revenues to improve across all segments. For residential, the consensus mark for revenues is pinned at $494.3 million, suggesting a 8.5% year-over-year gain.
Growth in this segment is likely to have been driven by the Romex Pest Control buyout, an expanded footprint into new markets and the combination of flagship brands with strong regional residential brands, supporting residential consumers' wins.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for commercial revenues is set at $351.8 million. The metric is anticipated to increase 9.8% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Market expansion facilitated by commercial account managers and vertical wins is anticipated to have driven this segment’s revenue growth.
The consensus estimate for termite and ancillary revenues is kept at $240.1 million, improving 13.3% year over year. This expected growth can be attributed to the company’s “9 shots on goal” strategy. This strategy moved experienced sales leadership to non-Orkin brands, bolstering cross-selling outside the flagship brand.
On a geographic basis, revenues from the United States and other countries are expected to improve substantially. The consensus estimate for the United States and other countries is $1 billion and $78.3 million, respectively. Revenues from the United States are expected to increase 9.5% from the year-ago quarter’s actual, while for other countries the increase is expected to be 8.9%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pinned at 34 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 13.3%. The bottom line is expected to have moved up on the back of top-line growth, combined with price increases ahead of the consumer price index and price/cost for the year at the level of price realization.
