Rentokil Initial plc (LSE:RTO) reported a stable financial performance for the first half of 2025, posting a 3.1% increase in group revenue alongside a robust free cash flow conversion rate of 93%. The company continues to benefit from strong sales and marketing execution in North America, with organic lead generation playing a key role in driving growth.
Strategic integration initiatives remain a priority, aimed at streamlining operations, achieving cost efficiencies, and improving margins. While operating profit and basic earnings per share declined modestly during the period, Rentokil’s focus on organic growth and operational alignment is expected to keep the company on track to meet full-year market expectations.
The overall outlook reflects a balanced picture: solid financial performance and effective corporate strategies support long-term growth prospects, though valuation concerns and some regional headwinds—particularly in North America—present challenges. Continued improvement in profitability and cash generation will be essential to sustaining momentum.
