"During the year, we delivered 12% total revenue growth, 11% EBITDA growth, and 8% free cash flow growth. Relative to our M&A strategy, we deployed $3.3 billion toward high-quality vertical software businesses, highlighted by CentralReach, Subsplash, and several bolt-on acquisitions. Additionally, we opportunistically repurchased 1.12 million shares for $500 million through our recently initiated share repurchase program."

2026 outlook and guidance

"Roper enters 2026 with a fundamentally stronger foundation, following meaningful enhancements last year to our leadership talent, AI technical capabilities, capital deployment discipline, and operating model. Additionally, we remain focused on accelerating innovation and commercialization to capture the significant AI opportunity across each of our businesses. We are also well positioned to continue deploying capital, with significant M&A capacity, a large pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities, and the flexibility to utilize our share repurchase program. The combination of these factors will help fuel Roper's long-term growth algorithm for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Hunn.

Roper expects full year 2026 adjusted DEPS of $21.30 – $21.55 with total revenue growth of approximately 8% and organic revenue growth of +5 – 6%. For the first quarter of 2026, the Company expects adjusted DEPS of $4.95 – $5.00.

The Company’s guidance excludes the impact of unannounced future acquisitions or divestitures, as well as potential share repurchases.

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 investments gain, net." Roper makes non-GAAP adjustments for the impacts associated with this investment.
