SARASOTA, Fla., July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Roper Industries, Inc. (NYSE: ROP), a diversified technology company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Roper reports results, including revenue, operating profit, 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. 

Second quarter diluted earnings per share (DEPS) were $1.56, a 41% increase over last year's GAAP DEPS and a 19% increase over last year's adjusted DEPS.  Net earnings for the second quarter were $157 million.  Second quarter revenue was $885 million, a 13% increase over last year's GAAP revenue and 10% higher than last year's adjusted revenue.  Operating profit was $247 million and represented 27.9% of revenue.  Orders increased 5% to $874 million. 

Operating cash flow in the quarter was $141 million. Year-to-date operating cash flow was $353 million, an increase of 14% over the prior year and represented 21% of revenue. Year-to-date free cash flow was $333 million, a 15% increase over the prior year.

"Our businesses performed exceptionally well in the quarter, with record second quarter performance for orders, revenue, operating profit and EBITDA," said Brian Jellison, Roper's Chairman, President and CEO.  "We generated 8% organic growth in the quarter and all segments grew organically, led by double-digit growth in both our Medical and RF segments.  Our continued growth in high margin businesses resulted in exceptional margin performance, as gross margin reached 59.1% and EBITDA margin was 33.3%."

On July 2nd, Roper completed a small acquisition, FoodLink®, a provider of traceability and commerce solutions to the fresh food industry.  This acquisition expands and builds upon Roper's leading position providing collaborative trading and web solutions to the food industry.

2014 Guidance Update

As a result of its second quarter performance, Roper is increasing its full year diluted earnings per share guidance from $6.22 - $6.36 to $6.27 - $6.37.  Third quarter diluted earnings per share is expected to be $1.49 - $1.53. The company's guidance excludes the impact of 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.
