4. Segmental information 
 
Segmental information has been presented in accordance with IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" which the group has implemented
with effect from 1 January 2009. 
 
As described on page 22 of the Annual Report 2013, in 2014 the group has changed parts of the way it manages its
businesses, with a resulting change to the segmental analysis under IFRS 8 - Operating Segments.  The East and West regions
have been replaced by regional clusters.  Prior-year comparisons have been restated. References to adjusted operating
profit and adjusted profit before tax also exclude reorganisation costs and one-off items that have had a significant
impact on the results of the group.

5. Discontinued operations and disposals 
 
On 18 March 2014 the group sold the Initial Facilities (IF) division. The division was not previously classified as held
for sale or as a discontinued operation. The comparative consolidated income statement has been re-presented to show the
discontinued operation separately from continuing operations. Management committed to a plan to sell this division early in
2014, following a decision to concentrate on the group's core international businesses in pest control, hygiene and
workwear. 
 
On 26 April 2013 the group sold the City Link (CL) division. The comparative consolidated income statement has been

 the weighted average number of shares in issue during   
 the period, excluding those held in the Rentokil Initial 
 Employee Share Trust for UK employees (see note at the  
 bottom of the condensed consolidated statement of

 For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average    
 number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to       
 include all potential dilutive ordinary shares. The     
 group has two types of potential dilutive ordinary      
 shares - those share options granted to employees where 
 the exercise price is less than the average market price 
 of the Company's ordinary shares during the period; and 
 the contingent issuable shares under the group's long   
 -term incentive share plans, to the extent the          
 performance conditions have been met at the end of the  
 period.

Adjusted earnings per share is the basic earnings per share adjusted for the after tax effects of reorganisation costs and
one-off items, amortisation and impairment of intangibles1 and net interest credit from pensions. Prior year comparatives
have been restated to reflect the change in definition of adjusted earnings per share in 2013.

These interim financial statements do not reflect this dividend payable.

The group has one committed Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF'), a £270m facility expiring in December 2016. During the six
months to 30 June 2014 the RCF was undrawn.  The marginal cost of borrowing under the RCF at the period end was 1.5%. 
 
The group's RCF, bank borrowings and bonds are held at amortised cost. 
 
The £300m bond was re-valued for changes in interest rates during the period March 2006 to April 2009, during which the
group paid floating interest rates.  At the end of this period, the group reverted to paying fixed interest rates and
revaluation of the bond ceased as the hedge relationship ended.  The bond is recorded in the financial statements at
amortised cost and revaluation differences are amortised to the consolidated income statement over the life of the bond
thus producing the effective rate indicated above. 
 
The carrying values and the fair values of the group's non-current borrowings are shown below. Fair values are based on

For all financial instruments held by the group, those that are held at fair value are to be classified by reference to the
source of inputs used to derive the fair value.  The following hierarchy is used: 
 
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 
 
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices or
indirectly through modelling based on prices; 
 
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. 
 
The group holds all derivatives at fair value using discounted cash flow models based on market rates which are observable.
 Therefore all derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale assets held by the group fall into Level 2. 
Contingent consideration payable by the group falls into Level 3.  No financial instruments have moved between levels in
the period. 
 
9. Retirement benefit obligations 
 
Apart from the legally required social security state schemes, the group operates a number of pension schemes around the
world covering many of its employees. The major schemes are of the defined benefit type with assets held in separate
trustee administered funds. 
 
The principal scheme in the group is the Rentokil Initial Pension Scheme ("RIPS") in the United Kingdom, which has a number
of defined benefit sections which are now closed to new entrants (other than the Initial No2 Section, accounting for 0.5%
of the total scheme's liabilities, which remains open).  Actuarial valuations of the UK scheme are usually carried out
every three years. 
 
Actuarial valuations of the UK scheme are usually carried out every three years. At 30th June the group's UK defined
benefit pension scheme, which is closed to new members, was valued at an accounting surplus of £94.4m on the group's
balance sheet. The trustees value the scheme on a different basis and based on the valuation of 31 March 2013 the plan is
99% funded with an estimated deficit of £18m. This deficit is anticipated to be met by the investment return on pension
assets over the period of the recovery plan. In order to mitigate the risk that it does not, annual contributions of c.£3m
per annum over the next six years will be paid into a joint escrow account by the group. In the event that the deficit is
not cleared by the time of the 31 March 2019 valuation it will be funded from the escrow account.  The group has recognised
the pension surplus as an asset because the group has a right to reduce future pension contributions. 
 
These defined benefit schemes are re-appraised bi-annually by independent actuaries based upon actuarial assumptions in
accordance with IAS 19 requirements. The principal assumptions used for the UK RIPS scheme are shown below.
