**Andy Ransom, Chief Executive of Rentokil Initial plc ("the Company"), said:

"We delivered a solid first half performance, in line with expectations, with Revenue growth of 3.1% and Adjusted Group Profit before tax (including discontinued operations) of $444m. We also delivered a strong free cash flow performance, with conversion of 93%, ahead of our guidance of 80%. Our sales and marketing initiatives in North America are starting to have an impact, with organic revenue growth of 1.4% in the second quarter up from 0.7% in the first quarter. We are refocusing our marketing budget towards driving organic lead flow and we are seeing encouraging results, including from our satellite branches, where we now have 100 in operation. While it is still early, we are encouraged with our progress, with residential and termite lead flow growing in June for the first time this year, up 6.6%. We are also encouraged by the early results that we are seeing from the door to door pilot that we started in the second quarter.

Improving our data analytics and insights is allowing us to more precisely target our underperforming branches with our new sales and marketing initiatives. Together with our integration experience, it is also helping us refine our integration plans and timelines. In H2 we will re-start integration with standalone, mainly commercial branches. Our expectations of the c.$100m cost reduction opportunity and attaining an operating margin in North America above 20% post 2026 remain unchanged, but our refined timelines may mean not all branches are fully integrated by that time.

Current trading is in line with expectations and our outlook for the remainder of the year remains unchanged. We expect to deliver FY25 results in line with market expectations."**
