Roper Technologies Announces Third Quarter Results

ROP

GAAP DEPS of $1.63; Adjusted DEPS of $1.65

Revenue Increased 7%; Operating Cash Flow Increased 40% to $317 Million

PR Newswire

SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Roper reports results, including revenue, gross margin, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, on a GAAP and adjusted basis.  Adjusted measures are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release. 

Third quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share (DEPS) were $1.63, a 3% increase over the prior year, and adjusted DEPS were $1.65.  GAAP revenue increased 7% to $945 million and adjusted revenue increased 7% to $947 million.  Organic revenue increased 2% led by the Company's medical, software, toll and traffic and water meter technology businesses.

GAAP operating profit increased 7% to $267 million, representing 28.3% of revenue.  Adjusted operating profit increased to $270 million, 28.5% of adjusted revenue.  Orders increased 4% to $929 million.  GAAP gross margin increased 80 basis points over the prior year to 61.2% and adjusted gross margin increased to 61.3%, a 60 basis point gain.

Operating cash flow increased 40% to $317 million, or 33.5% of GAAP revenue and 33.4% of adjusted revenue. Free cash flow increased 40% to $308 million

"Our businesses executed very well in the quarter, establishing record levels for orders, revenue, net earnings, EBITDA and cash flow," said Brian Jellison, Roper's Chairman, President and CEO.  "Growth in revenue was led by medical, software and water businesses more than offsetting continued weakness in energy end markets.  Cash flow was exceptionally strong, bringing year-to-date free cash flow to $704 million, an increase of 11% over last year's level."

TransCore MTA All-Electronic Tolling Project

New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has selected the Company's TransCore business to convert nine of its bridges and tunnels to All-Electronic Tolling (AET).  Under an accelerated roll-out schedule, TransCore expects to finish converting the first three facilities by January 2017.  The remaining conversions will be completed by November 2017.

"We are excited to have won this important project to serve the largest tolling authority in the United States with our industry-leading technology. TransCore's Infinity Digital Lane SystemTM will enable the MTA to eliminate existing gated toll plazas, allowing traffic to flow freely on these bridges and tunnels," added Mr. Jellison. 

ConstructConnect Acquisition

Roper separately announced today an agreement to acquire ConstructConnect, a leading provider of cloud-based data, collaboration, and workflow automation solutions to the commercial construction industry. 

"We are excited to acquire another industry-leading Software as a Service (SaaS) and informatics business," said Mr. Jellison.  "ConstructConnect has created the largest cloud-based network for collaboration between participants in the commercial construction industry.  Its solutions facilitate the pre-construction process from opportunity identification through project award, driving efficiency and creating revenue opportunities for its users." said Mr. Jellison.

The purchase price for the acquisition is $632 million and the transaction is expected to close this week. Roper expects ConstructConnect to generate approximately $150 million of revenue in 2017.

Guidance Update and Outlook

Roper is establishing fourth quarter 2016 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of $1.77 - $1.89 and updating its full year adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to $6.48$6.60.  The company's guidance excludes the impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures.

"We had a strong third quarter with excellent cash performance. While product orders for fourth quarter delivery were modestly weaker than expected, the ConstructConnect acquisition, MTA project win and positive momentum across our software and services businesses give us confidence as we look forward to 2017," concluded Mr. Jellison. 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.  Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial schedules or tables.  The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
