Roper Industries Announces 2010 First Quarter Results
Net Earnings Increase 16%; Orders Increase 20% to $567 Million; Record First Quarter Operating Cash Flow of $95 Million
SARASOTA, Fla., April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Roper Industries, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Net earnings for the first quarter were $60 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.65, which excludes a previously announced acquisition-related inventory charge of $0.03. Orders were a record $567 million, an increase of 20% over the first quarter of the prior year. Sales in the first quarter were $534 million, a 6% increase from the comparable period in 2009. Operating cash flow was a record $95 million, an increase of 88% over the prior year quarter.
Adjusted operating margin expanded 170 basis points to 19.6% and operating margin as reported expanded 160 basis points to 18.8%. During the quarter, EBITDA increased to $130 million, or 24.3% of sales. Free Cash Flow was $89 million, representing 17% of sales and 148% of net earnings.
"We are encouraged by both a 20% increase in orders and an acceleration of order growth during the quarter, putting us on track to generate record net earnings for the year," said Brian Jellison, Roper's Chairman, President and CEO. "In addition to the order growth, our businesses performed well in the quarter, with a consistent focus on cash and working capital management, resulting in record free cash flow. Gross margins increased to 52.3%, reflecting strong execution and growth in higher margin businesses."
"Our Verathon acquisition performed very well in its first full quarter as part of our Scientific and Industrial Imaging segment, with continued double-digit sales growth," continued Mr. Jellison. "During the quarter, we acquired the Heartscape product line, a technology we are enhancing to improve the speed and accuracy of detecting heart attacks. Our acquisition pipeline is exciting and we expect to complete additional acquisitions during the year."
As a result of its strong first quarter performance and improving order trends, Roper is increasing its full year DEPS guidance to $2.95-$3.10 from $2.83-$3.03, and establishing second quarter DEPS guidance of $0.71-$0.75. The Company is also increasing its guidance for operating cash flow to $400-$425 million, up from $375-$400 million. The Company's guidance excludes the first quarter impact of acquisition-related inventory charges and any future acquisitions.
