Roper Technologies (Nasdaq: ROP) released its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, showcasing robust growth across key metrics and updating its guidance for the remainder of the year.
Revenue Up 14% as Acquisitions and Organic Growth Drive Record Quarter
Roper Technologies reported a significant 14% increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2025, reaching $2.02 billion. This growth was fueled by an 8% contribution from acquisitions and a 6% rise in organic revenue. The company’s GAAP net earnings rose by 8% to $398 million, while adjusted net earnings saw a 12% increase, totaling $557 million. Adjusted EBITDA also climbed by 13% to $810 million, reflecting the company’s strategic focus on enhancing shareholder value through targeted acquisitions and internal efficiencies.
Despite the positive results, Roper’s adjusted DEPS of $5.14 slightly exceeded the market expectation of $5.11, even after accounting for a $0.05 impact from recent acquisitions not included in previous guidance. Operating cash flow increased by 15% to $870 million, and free cash flow saw a 17% boost, amounting to $842 million. These figures highlight Roper’s strong cash generation capabilities and its ability to leverage acquisitions effectively.
CEO Neil Hunn emphasized the company’s strategy of acquiring businesses that enhance shareholder value, with $1.3 billion deployed towards acquisitions such as Subsplash and other bolt-on additions. The ongoing focus on AI innovation across Roper’s businesses is expected to drive further internal efficiencies and growth opportunities.
Full-Year Earnings Guidance Raised Amid Continued Acquisition Momentum
Roper Technologies has updated its full-year 2025 guidance, with underlying earnings trending towards the higher end of the previous range. The company adjusted its DEPS guidance to $19.90 – $19.95, slightly narrowing the range from the previous $19.90 – $20.05 due to a $0.10 dilution impact from third-quarter acquisitions. Despite external challenges such as the government shutdown and timing delays at Neptune, Roper remains optimistic about its revenue growth prospects, maintaining expectations of a 13% total revenue growth and a 6% organic revenue increase for the year.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Roper projects adjusted DEPS between $5.11 and $5.16, factoring in a $0.05 impact from recent acquisitions. The company’s guidance excludes potential impacts from unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures and possible share repurchases. The new share repurchase program, authorized by the Board of Directors, allows for the repurchase of up to $3 billion of the company’s common stock, reflecting confidence in Roper’s strategy and commitment to enhancing shareholder value.
Roper’s disciplined acquisition approach and robust pipeline of opportunities position it well for continued growth. The company’s recent strategic investments, such as the acquisition of Convoy to transform DAT into a digital freight marketplace and the integration of Orchard Software into Clinisys, illustrate Roper’s focus on leveraging technology to drive future growth. These initiatives, combined with a strong cash flow and a durable business model, underpin Roper’s long-term strategic outlook.
