Sarasota, Florida, October 25, 2010 ... Roper Industries, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) reported record results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Net earnings for the third quarter were $84 million, a 49% increase over the third quarter of 2009, and diluted earnings per share (DEPS) were $0.87 compared to $0.61 in the prior year third quarter. Orders increased 31% to $654 million and sales increased 25% to $605 million, representing a 1.08 book-to-bill ratio.  Operating Cash Flow was a record $139 million.

“Roper performed exceptionally well in the third quarter,” said Brian Jellison, Roper’s Chairman, President and CEO.  “We achieved record levels in orders, sales, net earnings, DEPS, EBITDA and cash flow.  Our continued growth in orders and backlog gives us confidence that we will finish 2010 with record performance and enter 2011 with significant momentum.”

Third quarter results include the acquisition of iTradeNetwork which was completed on July 27, 2010.  “Our integration and international market development with iTradeNetwork is off to a good start, and we are excited about the growth prospects we see in all of our software businesses,” said Mr. Jellison.  “We saw substantial order growth in our businesses, led by Medical & Imaging (+81%), Industrial Technology (+35%) and Energy Systems & Controls (+29%).  Our backlog finished the third quarter at a record $770 million, up 39% from the prior year.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Guidance

Roper is increasing its full year DEPS guidance to $3.22-$3.26 from $3.05-$3.15, and establishing fourth quarter DEPS guidance of $0.96-$1.00.  The Company is increasing its guidance for operating cash flow to $465-$485 million from $425-$450 million.  The Company’s guidance excludes future acquisitions and the first quarter impact of acquisition-related inventory charges.
