Cautionary statement

In order to utilise the ‘safe harbour’ provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) and the general doctrine of cautionary statements, Rentokil Initial plc (“the Company”) is providing the following cautionary statement: This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the PSLRA. Forward-looking statements can sometimes, but not always, be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “predicts,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “anticipates,” “continues” or other comparable terms or negatives of these terms and include statements regarding Rentokil Initial’s intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, amongst other things, the results of operations of the Company and its consolidated entities (“Rentokil Initial” or “the Group”) (including preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2023), financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the economic and business circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which Rentokil Initial operates. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The Company can give no assurance that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved and therefore, actual results may differ materially from any plans, estimates or expectations in such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include: the Group’s ability to integrate acquisitions successfully, or any unexpected costs or liabilities from the Group’s disposals; difficulties in integrating, streamlining and optimising the Group’s IT systems, processes and technologies; the availability of a suitably skilled and qualified labour force to maintain the Group’s business; the Group’s ability to attract, retain and develop key personnel to lead the business; the impact of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, including those related to climate change and sustainability, on the Group’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects; inflationary pressures, such as increases in wages, fuel prices and other operating costs; supply chain issues, which may result in product shortages or other disruptions to the Group’s business; weakening general economic conditions, including changes in the global job market, or decreased consumer confidence or spending levels especially as they may affect demand from the Group's customers; the Group’s ability to implement its business strategies successfully, including achieving its growth objectives; the Group’s ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers; the highly competitive nature of the Group’s industries; cyber security breaches, attacks and other similar incidents, as well as disruptions or failures in the Group's IT systems or data security procedures and those of its third-party service providers; extraordinary events that impact the Group’s ability to service customers without interruption, including a loss of its third-party distributors; the Group’s ability to protect its intellectual property and other proprietary rights that are material to the Group’s business; the Group’s reliance on third parties, including third-party vendors for business process outsourcing initiatives, investment counterparties, and franchisees, and the risk of any termination or disruption of such relationships or counterparty default or litigation; the identification of material weaknesses in the Group's internal control over financial reporting within the meaning of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; any future impairment charges, asset revaluations or downgrades; failure to comply with the many laws and governmental regulations to which the Group is subject or the implementation of any new or revised laws or regulations that alter the environment in which the Group does business, as well as the costs to the Group of complying with any such changes; termite damage claims and lawsuits related thereto and any associated impacts on the termite provision; the Group’s ability to comply with safety, health and environmental policies, laws and regulations, including laws pertaining to the use of pesticides; any actual or perceived failure to comply with stringent, complex and evolving laws, rules, regulations and standards in many jurisdictions, as well as contractual obligations, including data privacy and security; changes in tax laws and any unanticipated tax liabilities; adverse credit and financial market events and conditions, which could, among other things, impede access to or increase the cost of financing; the restrictions and limitations within the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness; a lowering or withdrawal of the ratings, outlook or watch assigned to the Group’s debt securities by rating agencies; an increase in interest rates and the resulting increase in the cost of servicing the Group’s debt; and exchange rate fluctuations and the impact on the Group’s results or the foreign currency value of the Company’s ADSs and any dividends. The list of factors presented here is representative and should not be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realisation of forward-looking statements. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements as they are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, the Group’s actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of new markets or market segments in which the Group operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this communication. Except as required by law, Rentokil Initial assumes no obligation to update or revise the information contained herein, which speaks only as of the date hereof.

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in Rentokil Initial’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website, https://www.sec.gov/, and Rentokil Initial’s Annual Reports, which may be obtained free of charge from the Rentokil Initial website, https://www.rentokil-initial.com

No statement in this communication is intended to be a profit forecast and no statement in this communication should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share of Rentokil Initial for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of Rentokil Initial.

This communication presents certain further non-IFRS measures, which should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent IFRS measure, rather they should be viewed as complements to, and read in conjunction with, the equivalent IFRS measure. These include revenue and profit measures presented at actual exchange rates (“AER” - IFRS) and constant full year 2022 exchange rates (“CER” - Non-GAAP). Non-IFRS measures include Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Profit Before Tax, Adjusted Profit After Tax, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Interest, Adjusted Earnings Per Share , Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Effective Tax rate and Organic Revenue, Adjusted Operating Profit represents the performance of the continuing operations of the Group (including acquisitions), and enables the users of the accounts to focus on the performance of the businesses retained by the Group, and that will therefore contribute to the future performance. Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted profit before tax exclude certain items that could distort the underlying trading performance. The Group’s internal strategic planning process is also based on these measures, and they are used for incentive purposes. These measures may not be calculated in the same way as similarly named measures reported by other companies.
