Source: Yahoo! Finance
profit grew 5.4% to just over $1B (margin 15.5%, +30bp), while free cash flow jumped 24.5% to $615M with 98% conversion, cutting net debt to $3.65B and leverage to 2.6x. North America turnaround and growth plan: Sequential improvement in Pest Control (2.6% organic in Q4), lead flow +7% in H2 and better retention underpin an expanded multi-brand and satellite branch rollout (target ~800 branches by end-2026) and a push for 20% North America margin by 2027 alongside $100M of cost savings. Tech investment and provision risk: Rentokil is scaling AI tools (Google Gemini to ~60,000 colleagues, products like "PestConnect Optics"/"RatGPT") while central costs rise for tech investment, and the company booked a $201M increase to the termite provision in 2025 driven by higher litigation and claim costs.
