Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 23, 2012, Roper Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release containing information about the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
In the press release, the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. EBITDA as shown in the press release is defined as net earnings plus (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is an important indicator of operational performance of the Company’s business because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. EBITDA as calculated by the Company is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA: (a) does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP; (b) is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Company’s cash flow needs; and (c) should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or the Company’s other financial information determined under GAAP. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled net earnings is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash Provided by Operating Activities" ("Operating Cash Flow") as stated in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, reduced by capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a basis for comparing our performance with other companies. Our measure of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Roper Industries Announces Record First Quarter Results
Net Earnings Increased 22% to $108 Million
Operating Cash Flow up 63% to $141 Million
Full Year Guidance Raised
Sarasota, Florida, April 23, 2012 ... Roper Industries, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Net earnings for the first quarter were $108 million, a 22% increase over the first quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $1.09 compared to $0.91 in the comparable prior year period. Revenue increased 10% to $711 million. Orders were $729 million and represented a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03. Operating income increased 20% to $170 million and operating margin was 24.0%, a 200 basis point increase over the prior year.
Operating cash flow increased 63% to $141 million, representing 20% of revenue. EBITDA reached $205 million and EBITDA margin was 28.9%. The revenue, orders, net earnings, EBITDA and cash flow performance were all records for any first quarter in Roper’s history.
“Our businesses performed exceptionally well in the quarter, as strong operating leverage led to double-digit operating profit growth in all four segments,” said Brian Jellison, Roper’s Chairman, President and CEO. “Our asset-light business model and outstanding execution across the businesses resulted in exceptional free cash flow of $131 million, up 69% from the prior year. Gross margin reached 55.0%, reflecting growth in our medical and software platforms and our enterprise-wide focus on technology and application engineering expertise.”
“We are off to a strong start in 2012 with 8% organic revenue growth in the first quarter,” Mr. Jellison continued. “Our balance sheet and financial capacity are in the best shape in our history, and we are excited about the prospects for the remainder of the year.”
2012 Outlook and Guidance
As a result of the strong first quarter and improved visibility into the second half of the year, Roper is increasing its full year diluted earnings per share guidance to $4.75 - $4.91 from $4.67 - $4.87. The Company’s guidance excludes future acquisitions.
