From this 10-K

Roper Technologies is a diversified technology company made up of separately run businesses that design and develop vertical software and technology-enabled products for niche markets. The filing states the company believes it is the market leader or a competitive alternative to the market leader in most of those markets. Growth comes from improving the businesses it owns and from buying more: over the three years to the end of 2025 approximately $8,960 million went into acquisitions. It runs a decentralised model, each business an individual unit whose managers make the day-to-day decisions, subject to oversight from Roper executive management. There are three reportable segments, split by business model and how performance obligations are delivered rather than by end market.

Roper Technologies Inc., the 10-K for 2025

Roper Technologies is a diversified technology company made up of separately run businesses that design and develop vertical software and technology-enabled products for niche markets. The filing states the company believes it is the market leader or a competitive alternative to the market leader in most of those markets. Growth comes from improving the businesses it owns and from buying more: over the three years to the end of 2025 approximately $8,960 million went into acquisitions. It runs a decentralised model, each business an individual unit whose managers make the day-to-day decisions, subject to oversight from Roper executive management. There are three reportable segments, split by business model and how performance obligations are delivered rather than by end market.

Application Software

The largest segment, 56.7 percent of total net revenues in 2025. Aderant sells management software and AI-enabled tools to law and other professional services firms, covering business development, matter management, time and billing and case management. CentralReach provides software-as-a-service for the workflow and administration of applied behaviour analysis therapy for autism spectrum disorder and related disabilities. Clinisys sells diagnostic and laboratory information management software, and Data Innovations software for enterprise management of hospitals and independent laboratories. Deltek sells enterprise software to government contractors, professional services firms and other project-based businesses, and Frontline cloud software for K-12 school administration. IntelliTrans supplies transportation management software to bulk and break-bulk commodity producers, and Procare software and integrated payment processing to early childhood education centres. Strata sells cloud financial analytics and performance management to healthcare providers, higher education and financial institutions. Transact/CBORD sells integrated campus technology and payment solutions, from secure access and campus identity software to tuition management and foodservice technology. Vertafore sells cloud software to the property and casualty insurance industry, covering agency and distribution management, compliance and data.

Network Software

20.3 percent of total net revenues in 2025, several of these businesses being marketplaces rather than tools. ConstructConnect runs cloud data, collaboration and estimating automation for construction contractors and building product manufacturers and distributors, focused on the pre-construction phase. DAT runs electronic marketplaces matching broker and carrier freight capacity across the United States and Canada, plus freight tracking, financing and analytics; Canadian-based Loadlink was combined into it in 2025. iTradeNetwork runs marketplaces and supply chain software connecting food suppliers, distributors and vendors, mostly in perishables. Foundry supplies software for visual effects and 3D content in entertainment and digital design, and iPipeline serves life insurance, annuities and financial services. MHA sells healthcare services and software into alternate site healthcare markets, SHP data analytics for post-acute healthcare providers, and SoftWriters software to pharmacies serving long-term care. Subsplash provides digital engagement, church management and integrated giving software for faith-based organisations.

Technology Enabled Products

23.0 percent of total net revenues in 2025, and the only segment that ships hardware. CIVCO Medical Solutions makes accessories used to guide ultrasound procedures and control infection. Verathon makes medical devices for airway management, including bronchoscopes and video laryngoscopes, and bladder volume measurement. Northern Digital makes optical and electromagnetic precision measurement systems for medical and industrial use, and IPA automated surgical scrub and linen dispensing equipment. Neptune makes water meters and the cloud software behind them, letting utilities read meters remotely through automatic meter reading and advanced metering infrastructure and handle meter data management and billing. FMI makes dispensers and metering pumps for precision fluid control, Inovonics wireless sensor networks for applications including life safety and access management, and rf IDEAS makes RFID card and credential readers for identity access management.

Order book and supply

Remaining performance obligations, meaning the transaction price of firm orders not yet worked on, were $5,204.2 million at the end of 2025 against $4,754.9 million a year earlier. Backlog, the part of that expected to be recognised within twelve months, was $3,424.6 million against $3,105.4 million. Most materials and supplies are readily available worldwide, though some components and sub-assemblies come from only a limited number of suppliers, for which alternatives are regularly investigated. Distribution and sales run primarily through direct sales offices, manufacturers' representatives, resellers and distributors.

Recent acquisitions

The 2025 purchases were CentralReach at approximately $1,850 million and Subsplash at approximately $800 million. In 2024 it bought Procare at approximately $1,860 million and Transact Campus at approximately $1,600 million, the latter combined with the existing CBORD business, and in 2023 Syntellis at approximately $1,380 million, combined with Strata. Approximately $1,470 million went into other bolt-on acquisitions across the three years.

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed.
