Roper Technologies Announces First Quarter Results
GAAP DEPS of $1.48; Adjusted DEPS of $1.50
Orders Increased 9% to Record $927 Million
SARASOTA, Fla., April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
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 GAAP revenue increased 4% to $902 million and adjusted revenue grew 4% to $906 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share (DEPS) were $1.48 and adjusted DEPS were $1.50. Orders increased 9% in the quarter and backlog increased 7% to a record $1.12 billion.
GAAP gross margin increased to 62.0% and adjusted gross margin increased 210 basis points to 62.1%. EBITDA increased 4% to $307 million. Operating cash flow was $207 million, which included tax payments associated with the gain on the divestiture of Abel Pump in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding these tax payments, adjusted operating cash flow was $245 million and adjusted free cash flow was $235 million, representing 26% of revenue.
"We are very pleased with our performance in the quarter," said Brian Jellison, Roper's Chairman, President and CEO. "Although energy markets were weak as expected, strong contributions from our software and medical products businesses resulted in record revenue for the quarter. Our businesses continued to generate strong margin performance, with gross margin expansion in all four segments. In addition, orders strengthened across the enterprise, with three segments recording a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03 or greater."
"During the quarter we completed the acquisition of Clinisys Group, Ltd., adding to our platform of software solutions for hospital laboratories," Mr. Jellison continued. "In addition, we acquired PCI Medical, a provider of disinfection systems that complement our Civco Medical Solutions business. Roper's pipeline of acquisition opportunities remains attractive and the Company expects to deploy over $1 billion in 2016."
2016 Guidance
Roper maintained its guidance for full year adjusted diluted earnings per share of $6.85 - $7.15. The Company expects second quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share to be $1.56 - $1.61. The Company's guidance excludes the impact of any future acquisitions or divestitures.
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.
