Roper Technologies Announces Record Second Quarter Results
and Increases Full Year Guidance
Sarasota, Florida, July 23, 2021 ... Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROP), a leading diversified technology company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Second quarter GAAP and adjusted revenue increased 22% to $1.59 billion, while organic revenue increased 7%. GAAP and adjusted gross margin were 65.1%, expanding 40 basis points. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) was $2.69, a 29% increase, and adjusted DEPS was $3.76, a 28% increase.
EBITDA increased 26% to $579 million and EBITDA margin expanded 110 basis points to 36.4%. GAAP operating cash flow was $426 million. Adjusted free cash flow increased 30% to $409 million.
“Our businesses delivered excellent results in the second quarter, with 22% revenue growth, 26% EBITDA growth, and continued strong cash conversion,” said Neil Hunn, Roper’s President and CEO. “Organic revenue grew 7% with broad-based contributions from each of our four segments, including strong organic growth across our portfolio of software businesses. Our solid cash flow performance allowed us to reduce debt by approximately $375 million in the second quarter, bringing our total leverage reduction to $1.4 billion since completing our 2020 acquisitions."
"Our outstanding first half performance was driven by accelerating recurring revenue growth, broadly improving end-market conditions, and ongoing benefits from the enhanced quality of our portfolio. Given the positive momentum across our businesses, we are increasing our full year 2021 guidance and expect double-digit organic revenue growth for the second half of the year," concluded Mr. Hunn.
Increasing 2021 Guidance
The Company now expects full year adjusted DEPS of $15.00 - $15.20, compared to previous guidance of $14.75 - $15.00.
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company expects adjusted DEPS of $3.80 - $3.84.
The Company’s guidance excludes the impact of unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures.
