Roper Technologies Announces Third Quarter Financial Results

Increases full year DEPS guidance

SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roper Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROP) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third quarter 2026 highlights

  • Revenue increased 8% to $2.17 billion; organic revenue was +7% and acquisition contribution was +1%
  • GAAP net earnings increased 22% to $485 million; adjusted net earnings increased 5% to $586 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $864 million
  • GAAP DEPS increased 33% to $4.88; adjusted DEPS increased 15% to $5.89

“Roper delivered another solid quarter, with 8% total revenue growth, 7% organic revenue growth, 7% EBITDA growth, and 15% adjusted DEPS growth. During the quarter, we deployed $436 million toward three bolt-on acquisitions for our iPipeline, Procare, and Strata businesses, and we received $1.2 billion in proceeds from Indicor’s sale of its instrumentation businesses,” said Neil Hunn, Roper Technologies’ President and CEO.

“This quarter, our businesses again brought several AI launches to market, highlighted by PowerPlan, Strata, and Vertafore. We are embedding agentic solutions directly into the workflows our customers rely on every day, and we are also evolving how we build, with smaller teams closer to customers and increasingly agentic development processes. Given the depth of our customer relationships, our proprietary and unique data sets, and our embedded position inside mission-critical workflows, we are well positioned to create value for customers with AI. We are laser focused on scaling adoption while continuing to accelerate innovation.”

“Driven by third quarter adjusted DEPS that exceeded our expectations, we are raising our full year adjusted DEPS guidance. With more than $6 billion of capital deployment capacity, we will continue allocating capital with discipline to drive free cash flow per share compounding for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Hunn.

Increasing 2026 guidance

Roper now expects full year 2026 adjusted DEPS of $22.35 - $22.40, compared to previous guidance of $22.15 - $22.30.

For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects adjusted DEPS of $5.95 - $6.00.

The Company’s guidance excludes the impact of unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures, proceeds from Indicor's pending divestiture of its Cornell Pump and Roper Pump businesses, as well as potential share repurchases.

Conference call to be held at 8:00 AM (ET) today

A conference call to discuss these results has been scheduled for 8:00 AM ET on Thursday, October 22, 2026. The call can be accessed via webcast or by dialing +1 800-836-8184 (US/Canada) or +1 646-357-8785, using conference call ID 80101.

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.

Minority interest

Following the sale of a majority stake in its industrial businesses to CD&R, Roper holds a minority interest in Indicor. The fair value of Roper’s equity investment in Indicor is updated on a quarterly basis and reported as "equity investment (gain) loss, net." Roper makes non-GAAP adjustments for the impacts associated with this investment.
