    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 окт 2023 06:55:00   America/New_York

    SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roper Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROP) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The results in this press release are presented on a continuing operations basis.

    Third quarter 2023 highlights

    • Revenue increased 16% to $1.56 billion; organic revenue increased 6%
    • GAAP DEPS increased 24% to $3.21; adjusted DEPS increased 18% to $4.32
    • GAAP net earnings were $346 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $652 million
    • GAAP operating cash flow was $631 million; adjusted operating cash flow increased 72% to $647 million

    "Our market-leading technology businesses continue to operate at a high level and delivered another great quarter, with 16% revenue growth and strong margin performance. Importantly, our third quarter adjusted free cash flow of $625 million brings our trailing-twelve-month free cash flow to $1.8 billion," said Neil Hunn, Roper Technologies’ President and CEO. "We are once again increasing our full year outlook, fueled by our strong third quarter results, the continued expansion of our recurring revenue base, and the ongoing demand for our mission critical software and product solutions."

    "We deployed $2.0 billion toward vertical software acquisitions during the third quarter, highlighted by Syntellis Performance Solutions, which has been combined with our Strata Decision Technology business. We are well positioned to execute our disciplined and process-driven capital deployment methodology, with significant M&A firepower and a large pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities," concluded Mr. Hunn.

    Increasing 2023 guidance

    Roper now expects full year 2023 adjusted DEPS of $16.62 - $16.66, compared to previous guidance of $16.36 - $16.50.

    For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects adjusted DEPS of $4.28 - $4.32.

    The Company’s guidance excludes the impact of unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures.

    Minority interests

    Following the sale of a majority stake in its industrial businesses to CD&R, Roper now holds a minority interest in Indicor. The fair value of Roper’s equity investment in Indicor is updated on a quarterly basis and reported as "equity investment activity, net". Roper makes a non-GAAP adjustment for the impacts associated with this investment.

    During the quarter, Roper acquired a minority interest in Certinia, a leading provider of professional services automation software, for $125 million. The Company’s investment is accounted for under the equity method. Roper will report our proportionate share of income/(loss) associated with this investment as "equity investment activity, net." Roper will make a non-GAAP adjustment for the impacts associated with this investment beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023.

    Discontinued operations

    Roper has completed the divestitures of TransCore, Zetec, and the majority stake in its industrial businesses (Indicor). The financial results for these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods prior to the completion of their respective divestiture.

    Conference call to be held at 8:00 AM (ET) today
