SARASOTA, Fla., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Roper Industries, Inc. (NYSE: ROP), a diversified technology company, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Roper reports results, including revenue, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, on a GAAP and adjusted basis.  Adjusted measures are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release. 

First quarter revenue increased 13% to $834 million.  Net earnings for the first quarter were $147 million, or $1.46 per diluted share.  Operating profit was $223 million, an increase of 21% over last year's GAAP operating profit and 18% over last year's adjusted operating profit. Orders increased to $846 million and represented a book-to-bill ratio of 1.01.  Operating cash flow in the quarter increased 24% to $213 million and represented 25% of revenue. 

"Our businesses performed exceptionally well in the quarter, with record first quarter performance for orders, revenue, margins and cash flow," said Brian Jellison, Roper's Chairman, President and CEO.  "Revenue increased 13%, including 7% organic growth in the quarter.  This performance was broad-based, with all four operating segments increasing organic revenue at least 5%."

"Our continued expansion into asset-light medical, technology and service businesses, combined with outstanding execution across the enterprise, resulted in free cash flow of $202 million, 26% higher than last year's first quarter," continued Mr. Jellison.  "EBITDA reached $274 million and represented 32.8% of revenue.  In addition, our balance sheet and financial capacity are in the best shape in our history, and we are encouraged about our prospects for the remainder of the year."

2014 Guidance Update

As a result of its first quarter performance, Roper is increasing its full year diluted earnings per share guidance from $6.05 - $6.25 to $6.22 - $6.36.  Second quarter diluted earnings per share is expected to be $1.46 - $1.51. The company's guidance excludes the impact of any future acquisitions. 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.  Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial schedules or tables.  The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
