Roper Technologies Announces Record Third Quarter Results


Sarasota, Florida, October 24, 2019 ... Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROP), a leading diversified technology company, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Third quarter GAAP and adjusted revenue increased 3% to $1.35 billion and $1.36 billion, respectively. GAAP and adjusted gross margin expanded 80 basis points to 64.5% and 64.6%, respectively. GAAP net earnings increased 12% to $278 million and adjusted net earnings increased 7% to $346 million.

GAAP diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) was $2.64, an 11% increase, while adjusted DEPS was $3.29, a 6% increase. Operating cash flow was $404 million and free cash flow was $387 million, representing 29% of adjusted revenue. EBITDA increased 5% to $498 million and EBITDA margin expanded 90 basis points to 36.7%.

"Our diversified portfolio of asset-light businesses delivered another excellent financial quarter," said Neil Hunn, Roper's President and CEO. “In particular, we were highly encouraged by the expansion in our gross and EBITDA margins and how our business leaders nimbly executed in the current environment.”

"Also, during the quarter, we deployed $1.8 billion and continued to enhance our portfolio with the acquisitions of two high quality, niche software businesses -- iPipeline and ComputerEase," continued Mr. Hunn. "Additionally, we announced an agreement to divest our Gatan business to AMETEK and expect the transaction to close at the end of this month."

Updating 2019 Guidance

The Company now expects full year adjusted DEPS of $12.98 - $13.02, compared to previous guidance of $12.94 - $13.06.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company expects adjusted DEPS of $3.32 - $3.36.

The Company’s guidance assumes the pending Gatan divestiture will close at the end of October and excludes the impact of unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures.
