Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 23, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Roper Technologies, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on October 23, 2025 to furnish its press release (Exhibit 99.1) reporting third-quarter 2025 results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Revenue rose 14% to $2.02 billiona, with acquisitions contributing 8 percentage points and organic growth 6%. GAAP net earnings increased 8% to $398 million, while adjusted net earnings increased 12% to $557 million. Adjusted EBITDA grew 13% to $810 million, operating cash flow rose 15% to $870 million, and free cash flow increased 17% to $842 million.
GAAP diluted EPS was $3.68b (up 8%) and adjusted DEPS was $5.14 (up 11%), which included a $(0.05) impact from third-quarter bolt-on acquisitions not reflected in prior guidance. Management adjusted full-year 2025 adjusted DEPS guidance to $19.90–$19.95, down from the prior $19.90–$20.05 range, reflecting underlying trends and $0.10 of incremental dilution from third-quarter acquisitions. Total revenue growth of approximately 13% is still expected, and organic revenue growth is now expected to be approximately 6%.
For the fourth quarter, adjusted DEPS guidance is $5.11c–$5.16. Management cited the government shutdown and timing delays at Neptune as factors affecting results. During the quarter the company deployed $1.3 billion toward Subsplash and several bolt-on acquisitions, and it also acquired Convoy and Orchard Software.
The Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $3 billiond of common stock. Repurchases may be made through open-market or privately negotiated transactions, carry no obligation to buy any particular amount, and may be suspended at any time. The filing also reports a balance sheet with total assets of $34.58 billion at September 30, 2025, total debt (current and long-term) of $9.45 billion, and cash of $320.0 million.

How is Roper's minority investment in Indicor affecting reported results?
