Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
38 rewritten, 16 added, 7 removed, 139 unchanged
There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to successfully identify suitable candidates, negotiate appropriate terms, obtain financing on acceptable terms, complete proposed acquisitions, receive the necessary regulatory [removed: approvals,] [added: approvals (including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in the U.S. and similar antitrust regulations in foreign countries),] successfully integrate acquired businesses, or expand into new markets.
Several of our [removed: operating companies] [added: subsidiaries] have transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Sales by our operating companies whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar represented [added: 9% and] 11% of our total net revenues for [removed: both] the years ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022.][added: 2023, respectively.]
We rely on information and technology, including third-party cloud computing [removed: platforms,] [added: platforms and other third-party business partners,] for many of our business operations which could fail and cause disruption to our business operations.
Our business operations are dependent upon information technology networks and systems to securely transmit, process, and store [removed: electronic] information and to communicate among our locations around the world and with [removed: clients] [added: clients, suppliers,] and [removed: suppliers.][added: business partners.]
[removed: Cyberattacks,] [added: Cybersecurity incidents, ransomware attacks, systems disruptions or interruptions, cyberattacks,] configuration or human error, insider threat, and/or other external hazards [added: or threats] could result in the misappropriation of assets or [removed: sensitive] information, corruption of data, or [removed: operational disruption.][added: disruptions in our business strategy, results of operations, and financial condition.]
We rely on [added: business partners such as] third-party data centers and cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure to host certain enterprise and customer systems.
If any [added: third-party system or] cloud platform that we use is unavailable to us for any reason, our customers may experience service interruptions, which could significantly impact our operations, reputation, business, and financial results.
Global cybersecurity threats are rapidly evolving and [removed: becoming increasingly more sophisticated and] attacks to networks, platforms, systems, and endpoints can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats, directed at the Company, its businesses, its customers, and/or its third-party service providers, including, but not limited to, cloud providers and providers of network management services.
These may include such things as unauthorized access, phishing attacks, denial of service, [added: insider threats,] data exfiltration and extortion, introduction of malware or ransomware, and other disruptive problems caused by threat actors.
While we have experienced and expect to continue to experience these types of [added: cybersecurity] threats and incidents, none of them to date have been material to the Company.
We seek to deploy measures to protect, detect, respond, and recover from cybersecurity [removed: threats,] [added: threats and incidents,] including identity and access controls, employee training, data protection, vulnerability management, incident response, secure product development, continuous monitoring of our networks, platforms, endpoints, and systems, and maintenance of ransomware resilient backup and recovery capabilities.
Despite these efforts, we can make no assurances that we will be able to mitigate, detect, prevent, timely and adequately respond, or fully recover from the negative effects of [removed: cyberattacks] [added: cyberattacks, cybersecurity incidents,] or other security compromises, and such [added: attacks, compromises, or] cybersecurity incidents, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption, or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties) and the disruption of business operations.
[removed: Any imposition of liability, particularly liability] that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage, could materially harm our operating results and financial condition.
Product liability, insurance risks, [added: product recalls,] and increased insurance costs could harm our operating results.
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we had [removed: $6,330.1] [added: $7,623.0] in total consolidated indebtedness.
In addition, we had approximately [removed: $3,133] [added: $3,369] of undrawn availability under our unsecured [added: revolving] credit facility.
At December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] goodwill totaled [removed: $17,118.8] [added: $19,312.9] compared to [removed: $17,444.8] [added: $18,867.6] of total stockholders’ equity, and represented [removed: 61%] [added: 62%] of our total assets of [removed: $28,167.5.][added: $31,334.7.]
If future operating performance at one or more of our business units were to fall significantly below current [added: or expected] levels, if competing or alternative technologies emerge, if discount rates rise, or if business valuations decline, we could incur a non-cash [added: charge to operating income.]
Any change in the supply of, or price for, these parts and components, as well as any increases in commodity prices or the price and availability [removed: of] [added: of, or any decrease in the reliability of,] third-party cloud computing platforms could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In 2022, we divested a [removed: 51%] majority equity stake in our industrial businesses to [removed: Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”)] [added: CD&R] and retained a minority equity interest in the new parent entity, Indicor.
Many of these risks are outside of CD&R’s or Indicor’s control and could [removed: materially impact Indicor’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.]
In the event of a decrease in fair value, we [removed: could] [added: would] incur [added: a] non-cash [removed: charges] [added: charge] within non-operating income with a corresponding reduction in the balance of our equity investment.
We [removed: incorporate] [added: are increasingly incorporating] artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions into [removed: some of] our platforms, offerings, services, and [removed: features,] [added: operations,] and [removed: these applications may] [added: we expect that AI will] become more important [removed: in] [added: to] our [removed: operations] [added: company] over time.
Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products [added: or operations] more quickly or [removed: more] successfully than us, [added: or develop superior products and services with the aid of AI,] which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations.
Additionally, if [removed: our] [added: we use] AI [removed: applications are] [added: that is] based on data, algorithms, or other inputs that are flawed, or if [removed: they assist] [added: the AI assists] in producing content, analyses, or recommendations that are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, [added: violative of third-party intellectual property,] or biased, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In the U.S., [removed: the] [added: at least 20] states [removed: of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, Montana, Delaware, Iowa, Tennessee, Indiana, and New Jersey] have [removed: each] [added: individually] passed comprehensive privacy [removed: legislation, and joined California (which further enhanced its existing privacy laws)] [added: legislation] in directly regulating the collection, use, and sharing of personal information.
These statutes and regulations create civil penalties for violations, and in the case of [removed: California, creates] [added: California and some sector-specific laws, create] a limited private right of action for data [removed: breaches,] [added: breaches] that [removed: increases] [added: increase] the risk of data breach litigation.
[removed: GDPR provides significant penalties for non-compliance (up to 4% of] global annual revenue) and EU data protection authorities have already issued significant fines.
Expectations relating to [removed: environmental, social, and governance] [added: sustainability] considerations expose the Company to potential liabilities, increased costs, reputational harm, and other adverse effects on the Company’s business.
Many governments, regulators, investors, employees, customers, and other stakeholders are focused on environmental, social, [added: governance,] and [removed: governance (“ESG”)] [added: other sustainability] considerations relating to businesses, including climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, human capital, and [removed: diversity, equity, and inclusion.][added: diversity.]
The Company makes statements about [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability] goals and initiatives through information provided on its website, press statements, and other communications, including through its annual [removed: ESG Report.][added: sustainability report.]
Responding to these [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability] considerations and implementation of these goals and initiatives involves risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Information About Forward-Looking Statements,” requires investments, and is impacted by factors that may be outside of the Company’s control.
Stakeholders also may have very different views on where [removed: environmental, social, and governance] focus [added: on sustainability topics] should be placed, including differing views of regulators in various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Any failure, or perceived failure, by the Company to achieve its goals, further its initiatives, adhere to its public statements, comply with federal, state, or international [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability] laws and regulations, or meet evolving and varied stakeholder expectations and standards could result in legal and regulatory proceedings against the Company and materially adversely affect the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.
For the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023, 13%] [added: 2024, 14%] of our net revenues [added: were generated from customers outside of the U.S.] and 7% of our long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and other intangibles, were attributable to operations outside of the U.S. We expect our international operations to contribute materially to our business for the foreseeable future.
- differing and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, including any measures implemented to address data [removed: privacy] [added: privacy, cybersecurity,] and impacts of climate change.
[removed: Further escalation of] [added: In addition, certain] geopolitical [removed: tensions, such as increased trade barriers, economic sanctions or restrictions on global trade, related to these military conflicts] [added: events have resulted in and] could [added: continue to] result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, [added: increase in global economic uncertainty,] and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain.
These disruptions may include, but are not limited to, interruptions to business operations, loss of intellectual property, release of confidential information, malicious alteration or corruption of data or systems, costs related to remediation or the payment of ransom, litigation including individual claims or consumer class actions, commercial litigation, administrative, and civil or criminal investigations or actions, regulatory intervention and sanctions or fines, investigation and remediation costs, and possible prolonged negative publicity.
While certain of our businesses have experienced temporary disruptions, their impact has been limited and did not have a significant impact on our businesses.
Any imposition of liability, particularly liability
Manufacturing or design defects could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or as required by regulatory authorities), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market which could result in significant costs, lost sales and customers, enforcement actions and/or investigations, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation.
Personal injuries relating to the use of our products can also result in product liability claims being brought against us.
materially impact Indicor’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may be affected by laws and regulations that govern the use of AI.
For example, the EU AI Act places new requirements on providers of AI technologies that will need to be addressed in alignment with various deadlines in the coming years.
These and other laws or regulations may cause us to modify our data handling and compliance practices, which could be costly or disruptive to our operations, and may also impact our ability to use certain data to support our products or our product development efforts or hinder our customers’ ability to adopt or continue to use our products.
GDPR provides significant penalties for non-compliance (up to 4% of
Canada (Quebec) has also significantly updated its privacy laws.
- trade protection measures, tariffs, and import or export requirements, including uncertainty about what actions may be taken by governments with respect to tariffs or trade relations, what products may be subject to such actions, and what actions may be taken by foreign countries in retaliation to proposed or imposed U.S. tariffs;
Political and geopolitical conditions can adversely affect our business.
Political and geopolitical conditions in the markets in which our products and services are sold have been and could continue to be difficult to predict, resulting in adverse effects on our business.
The results of elections, geopolitical events and tensions, and wars and other military conflicts (such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East) in these markets have in the past impacted and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to the negotiation of new trade agreements, new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products or materials (including recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada, Mexico, and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries).
Changes in political administrations in the U.S. and elsewhere may lead to variability in, or reallocation of, government spending priorities, or a reduction in government spend, which could have an adverse impact on our businesses that serve governmental entities or governmental contractors.
charge to operating income.
The rapid evolution of AI, including the potential regulation of AI by government or other regulatory agencies, will require significant resources to develop, test, and maintain our platforms, offerings, services, and features in order to implement AI ethically and minimize any unintended, harmful impacts.
- trade protection measures, tariffs, and import or export requirements;
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.
The global economy has been negatively impacted by ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.
We have historically had limited operations and suppliers in these jurisdictions.
Nevertheless, these military conflicts could have additional negative impacts on the global economy.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
117 rewritten, 26 added, 28 removed, 107 unchanged
This item generally discusses our [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] results compared to our [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] results.
Discussions of our [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] results compared to our [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] results can be found within Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Roper has a proven, long-term, successful track record of compounding cash flow and [added: increasing] shareholder value.
We pursue consistent and sustainable growth in revenue, earnings, and cash flow by enabling continuous improvement in the operating performance of our existing businesses and by acquiring [removed: other] businesses that offer high value-added software, services, technology-enabled [removed: products] [added: products,] and solutions that we believe are capable of [removed: achieving] [added: realizing] growth [removed: and] [added: while] maintaining high margins.
[removed: On] [added: In] November [removed: 22,] 2022, [removed: the Company] [added: Roper] completed the divestiture of a majority [removed: 51%] equity stake in its industrial businesses, including its entire historical Process Technologies reportable segment and the industrial businesses within its historical Measurement & Analytical Solutions reportable [removed: segment,] [added: segment (collectively “Indicor”),] to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC.
Following the sale of the majority [added: equity] stake, [removed: the Company] [added: Roper] retained a minority equity interest in Indicor.
[removed: This transaction is referred to herein as the “Indicor Transaction.”] See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report for additional information [removed: on this] [added: regarding Roper’s] minority equity [removed: interest.][added: interest in Indicor.]
During 2021, Roper entered into definitive agreements to divest [removed: our] [added: its] TransCore, Zetec, and CIVCO Radiotherapy businesses (“2021 Divestitures”).
Roper completed the 2021 Divestitures by [removed: the end of the first quarter of] [added: March] 2022.
The financial results [removed: for] [added: of] Indicor and the 2021 Divestitures are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Unless otherwise noted, discussion within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations [removed: relate] [added: relates] to continuing operations.
[removed: Information regarding discontinued operations is described further in] [added: Refer to] Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual [removed: Report.][added: Report for further information regarding discontinued operations.]

A discussion of our significant accounting policies can also be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] included in this Annual Report.
Other than the changes [added: during 2023] as further described in Note 10 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the methodology used to value our equity investment in Indicor, we have not changed the application of acceptable accounting methods or the significant estimates affecting the application of these principles in the last three years in a manner that had a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our most significant accounting uncertainties are encountered in the areas of income taxes, valuation of other intangible assets, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles impairment analyses, and valuation of our equity [removed: interest] [added: investment] in Indicor.
[removed: During 2023, our] [added: Our 2024] effective income tax rate was [removed: 21.5% as compared to] [added: 21.2% and] our [removed: 2022] [added: 2023 effective income tax] rate [removed: of 23.1%.][added: was 21.5%.]
We expect the effective tax rate for [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] to be approximately 21% to 22%.
Under the qualitative assessment, we consider various qualitative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, relevant industry and market trends, cost factors, overall financial performance, other entity-specific events, and events affecting the reporting unit that could indicate a potential change in the fair value of our reporting unit or the composition of its carrying [removed: values.][added: value.]
The quantitative assessment utilizes [removed: an] [added: the] equal [removed: weighted] [added: weighting of both an] income approach (discounted cash flow) and a market approach (consisting of a comparable public company earnings multiples methodology) to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit.
As of the annual impairment test, [removed: the Company] [added: Roper] has [removed: 22] [added: 23] reporting units with individual goodwill amounts ranging from $17.5 to [removed: $3,363.6.][added: $3,363.7.]
In [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter for all reporting units.
The Company conducted its analysis qualitatively and assessed whether it was more likely than not that the respective fair [removed: value] [added: values] of these reporting units [removed: was] [added: were] less than [removed: the] [added: their] carrying [removed: amount.][added: amounts.]
The Company determined that impairment of goodwill was not likely in any of its reporting units and thus was not required to perform a quantitative assessment for these reporting units as of October 1, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
Although our forecasts are based on assumptions that are considered reasonable by management and consistent with the plans and estimates management uses to operate the underlying businesses, there is significant judgment [added: applied] in determining the expected results attributable to the businesses and/or reporting units.
Under this methodology the fair value is determined based on the estimated future after-tax cash flows arising from the acquired customer relationships over their estimated [added: useful] lives after considering customer attrition and contributory asset charges.
As of December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022, the Company] [added: 2023, Roper] held a [removed: 47.3%] [added: 45.5%] and [removed: 49.0%] [added: 47.3%] minority equity interest in [removed: Indicor,] [added: Indicor Equity, LLC,] respectively.
We elected to apply the fair value option as we believe this is the most reasonable method to value [removed: the] [added: this] equity investment.
This investment is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as valuation of the investment reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the [removed: asset.][added: equity interest.]
The fair value of our equity investment in Indicor is [removed: updated] [added: estimated] on a quarterly basis and [removed: its impact] [added: the change in fair value] is reported as a component of “Equity investments [removed: activity,] [added: gain,] net” in our Consolidated [removed: Statement] [added: Statements] of Earnings.

| Organic Revenue Growth | | | 5.6 | | % | | | | 2.5 | | % | | | | 9.3 | | % | | | | | | | | | | 5.8 | | % |
Gross margin decreased to 68.4% for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 68.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023, due primarily to a lower gross margin profile associated with the higher payments revenue mix at Procare and Transact, our 2024 acquisitions, whose results reduced gross margin by 180 basis points.
This decrease was partially offset by improved leverage on higher organic revenues.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 42.0% in the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 43.1% in the year ended December 31, 2023, due primarily to lower SG&A profiles at Procare and Transact, which collectively reduced SG&A as a percentage of net revenues by 70 basis points, operating leverage on higher organic revenues, and cost synergies resulting from the integration of Syntellis.
These increases were partially offset primarily by a decline in our access management businesses.
Corporate expenses increased by $40.7 to $267.4, or 3.8% of net revenues, in 2024 as compared to $226.7, or 3.7% of net revenues, in 2023.
Equity investments gain, net, was $234.6 for the year ended December 31, 2024 due primarily to a $135.6 gain on the sale of our equity investment in Certinia, a $96.4 increase in the fair value of our equity investment in Indicor, and $10.8 of dividend
distributions received from Indicor, partially offset by our proportionate share of net loss associated with the investment in Certinia of $9.8 in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
Other expense, net, of $5.0 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was composed primarily of foreign exchange losses at our non-U.S. based subsidiaries.
Our 2024 effective income tax rate of 21.2% decreased as compared to our 2023 tax rate of 21.5%, due primarily to the release of valuation allowances, partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation tax benefits.
Backlog decreased 1.6% to $3,105.4 at December 31, 2024 as compared to $3,156.6 at December 31, 2023 due primarily to a decrease in our Technology Enabled Products segment associated with the normalization of supply chain ordering patterns, partially offset by acquisitions and organic growth in our Application Software segment.

Operating activities – Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased by 17% to $2,393.2 in 2024 as compared to $2,037.4 in 2023 due primarily to higher net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expenses, increased collections on accounts receivable, the absence of the cash payment from the prior year of $45.0 related to the settlement of a patent litigation matter, and timing associated with interest payments on our senior notes issued in 2024, partially offset by higher cash taxes paid.
The net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our unsecured credit facility, including borrowings incurred to fund the purchase price of the Transact acquisition, as well as to repay a portion of the senior notes due September 15, 2024.
The remaining portion of senior notes due September 15, 2024 were repaid using borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.
At December 31, 2024, we also had $44.2 of other debt in the form of short-term borrowings and finance leases.

The businesses included in this transaction were Alpha, AMOT, CCC, Cornell, Dynisco, FTI, Hansen, Hardy, Logitech, Metrix, PAC, Roper Pump, Struers, Technolog, Uson, and Viatran (collectively “Indicor”).
The aggregate of the 2021 Divestitures and the Indicor Transaction have greatly reduced the cyclicality and asset intensity of the Company.
In addition, the Company has an increased mix of recurring revenue and a higher margin profile.
The 2023 rate was favorably impacted by the recognition of a net tax benefit associated with international legal entity restructuring combined with the non-recurrence of 2022 net tax expense associated with an internal restructuring plan related to the Indicor Transaction.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2023 increased to 43.1%, as compared to 41.8% in the year ended December 31, 2022, due primarily to higher amortization of acquired intangibles from the acquisitions of Frontline and Syntellis and restructuring-related expenses incurred primarily in connection with the integration of the Syntellis acquisition.
Gross margin increased to 57.1% in the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 56.9% in the year ended December 31, 2022, due primarily to operating leverage on higher organic revenues, partially offset by revenue mix.
Corporate expenses increased by $17.5 to $226.7, or 3.7% of revenues, in 2023 as compared to $209.2, or 3.9% of revenues, in 2022.
Other expense, net, of $50.1 for the
year ended December 31, 2022 was composed primarily of a legal settlement expense of $45.0 related to the Berall v.
Verathon patent litigation matter.
Backlog increased 8.4% to $3,156.6 at December 31, 2023 as compared to $2,912.6 at December 31, 2022.
Acquisitions contributed 5% and organic growth in backlog was 3%.

Operating activities – The increase in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in 2023 as compared to 2022 was due primarily to the reduction in cash taxes paid, predominantly as a result of cash taxes paid in the prior year in connection with the 2021 Divestitures and the Indicor Transaction, and higher net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expenses.
Discontinued operations – Cash provided by discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from the sales of TransCore, Zetec, and the majority stake in Indicor.
At December 31, 2023, we had $6,000.0 of senior unsecured notes and $360.0 of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
18 rewritten, 5 added, 2 removed, 14 unchanged
Roper maintains a global Cybersecurity Program [added: supervised by the Vice President of Cybersecurity] that outlines required cybersecurity controls for all Roper businesses.
Given the decentralized nature of Roper’s operating model, day-to-day management and implementation of the Cybersecurity Program and deployment of the program’s cybersecurity controls are managed locally by each of Roper’s [removed: 27] [added: 28] business [removed: units.][added: units, including localized information security management.]
In addition, because Roper’s businesses generally operate independently and maintain separate infrastructure and systems, [added: we believe] the risk of an enterprise-wide cybersecurity incident is somewhat reduced.
While cybersecurity technologies and implementation may differ based on the needs and risk profile of each individual business, Roper has also implemented [removed: cyber] [added: cybersecurity] tools and managed services to centrally monitor certain aspects of the Cybersecurity Program.
Roper deploys cybersecurity practices and tools across all of its businesses [added: designed] to protect data, maintain resilient operations, and limit the impact of cybercrime.
We deploy a Managed Detection and Response [removed: (“MDR”)] solution across all of our business units and our Corporate infrastructure designed to address the detection, response, and remediation effectiveness [removed: of] [added: for] cybersecurity threats.
The Cybersecurity Program includes controls designed to [removed: identify] [added: oversee] and [removed: perform diligence on] [added: identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with] third parties as they are leveraged by Roper’s businesses in their respective software code development processes or for other purposes that require third-party access to critical infrastructure.
Cybersecurity risk assessments are periodically performed to assess [removed: the] internal compliance with cybersecurity strategy and [added: the] implementation of cybersecurity [removed: controls.][added: controls, which would include the validation of cybersecurity control implementation through testing.]
Areas identified for enhancement and improvement are monitored and tracked to remediation by the Roper [removed: Cyber] [added: cybersecurity] team, including the Vice President of Cybersecurity.
We maintain a centralized incident response process with a [added: third-party] forensic partner on retainer.
Roper maintains a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (“CSIRP”), which requires each Roper business to designate a Cybersecurity Incident Response Team [removed: (“CSIRT”)] that is responsible for receiving, reviewing, and responding to cybersecurity incident reports and activities.
Cybersecurity incidents are required to be promptly reported to [removed: Roper, and] [added: the Roper cybersecurity team, who then monitors] such incidents [removed: and] [added: through] their [removed: resolution are then closely monitored by Roper’s cybersecurity team.][added: resolution.]
We work on security awareness with our employees throughout the year with [added: annual] cybersecurity training and [added: monthly] simulated phishing campaigns to better identify and report unusual behavior and to mitigate the likelihood and impact of possible [added: cybersecurity] incidents.
Rather, the Board believes that due to the importance and continually evolving nature of [added: risks from] cybersecurity threats, all members of the Board should participate in the oversight of these topics.
Roper has also established a Cyber Disclosure Committee chaired by the Vice President of Cybersecurity to track and evaluate [added: potentially material] cybersecurity incidents and to assess their potential impact on the organization.
[removed: This process builds upon] the CSIRP and provides a framework for Roper management to monitor potentially material [removed: cyber] [added: cybersecurity] incidents.
Risk Factors, We rely on information and technology, including third-party cloud computing [removed: platforms,] [added: platforms and other third-party business partners,] for many of our business operations which could fail and cause disruption to our business operations.” above for more information.
While we work to maintain our Cybersecurity Program, there can be no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to prevent cybersecurity incidents or mitigate all [added: risks from cybersecurity threats or] potential risks to such systems, networks, and data or those of our third-party providers.
Additionally, this solution is designed to provide real-time monitoring of identity-based attacks, as well as monitoring of the deep, dark and social webs for cybersecurity threats targeting Roper’s businesses.
Cybersecurity risk is also addressed in, and monitored by, the Company’s enterprise risk management program.
The Vice President of Audit Services also reports to the Audit Committee on matters, including cybersecurity matters, that are addressed and monitored pursuant to the Company’s enterprise risk management program.
This process builds upon
Although we have experienced cybersecurity incidents, these incidents have not materially affected Roper, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
To date, management has not identified risks from cybersecurity incidents, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Roper, including its business strategy,
results of operations, or financial condition.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of [removed: amortizable] customer relationships [added: acquired] in [removed: connection with] the acquisition of [removed: Syntellis Parent,] [added: RCP Vega Holdings,] LLC is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the [removed: amortizable] customer [removed: relationships;] [added: relationships acquired;] (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the customer attrition rate, projected customer revenue growth rates, margins, contributory asset charges, and discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

*Acquisition of Genesis Ultimate Holding Co. – Valuation of Customer Relationships*
As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on February 26, 2024, the Company acquired Genesis Ultimate Holding Co., the parent company of Procare Software, LLC, for a net purchase price of $1,860.0 million.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of Genesis Ultimate Holding Co. is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the customer attrition rate, projected customer revenue growth rates, margins, and discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the customer attrition rate and discount rate assumptions.
Of the acquired amortizable intangible assets, $656.0 million of customer relationships were recorded.
Under this methodology, the fair value is determined by management based on the estimated future after-tax cash flows arising from the acquired customer relationships over their estimated useful lives after considering customer attrition and contributory asset charges.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired.
Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projected customer revenue growth rates and margins involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the RCP Vega Holdings, LLC business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

In October 2021, the FASB issued an update to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by promoting consistency in the recognition of an acquired contract liability and the subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer.
The Company early-adopted this update in the fourth quarter of 2021.
This update did not have a material impact on the acquisitions completed in the year of adoption.
Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
See Note 13 for additional information.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the use of the Sunquest trade name would be discontinued given the strategic action to merge the Sunquest business into our Clinisys business, both of which are reported in our Application Software reportable segment.
Considering the planned merger and updated market comparisons, the royalty rate utilized in the quantitative impairment assessment of the trade name was 0.5% as compared to a royalty rate of 3.5% used in the prior year.
The royalty rate reduction was the significant assumption that resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $94.4 recognized as “Impairment of intangible assets” within our Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

This acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.

On December 30, 2021, Roper acquired 100% of the shares of American LegalNet, Inc. (“ALN”), a provider of court forms, eFiling, calendaring, and docketing software solutions.

In addition, the Company has an increased mix of recurring revenue and a higher margin profile.
