To position Rentokil to deliver our planned growth through the peak
season, both sales and service resource was expanded. As a result
of lower than expected lead flow and sales growth, the operation
was over-resourced in both sales and service. Increased weekend
working to drive additional revenue also resulted in an increase in
overtime expenditure. In addition, spend on materials and
consumables is higher than expected.</font></div>

Our immediate focus is on the Right Way 2 plan to improve revenue
growth, through increased lead flow, sales conversion and customer
retention. We are taking decisive action to mitigate the cost
over-runs as we exit the peak season, managing inventory more
effectively, managing technician workload and overtime, and will
right-size labour resources for the volume
opportunity.</font></div>

value creation opportunity remains intact, albeit taking longer to
realise than anticipated.</font></div>

In order, among other things, to utilise the 'safe harbour'
provisions of the&#xA0;U.S.&#xA0;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), 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
Group's ability to attract, retain and develop key personnel to
lead the Group's business; the availability of a suitably skilled
and qualified labour force to maintain the Group's business; 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;
inflationary pressures, such as increases in wages, fuel prices and
other operating costs; 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; extraordinary events that impact the Group's ability to
service customers without interruption, including a loss of its
third-party distributors; 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; supply
chain issues, which may result in product shortages or other
disruptions to the Group's business; 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; 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 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; the
identification of a material weakness in the Group's internal
control over financial reporting within the meaning of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; 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.</font></div>

This communication presents certain 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 measures presented at actual exchange rates ("AER" -
IFRS) and constant full year 2023 exchange rates ("CER" -
Non-IFRS). Non-IFRS measures presented also include Organic Revenue
Growth, One-off and adjusting items, Adjusted Operating Profit and
Adjusted PBTA. Definitions for these measures can be found in note
14 of the financial statements in the Interim Results. 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.</font></div>
