Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 25, 2016, Roper Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release containing information about the Company's results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.  In the press release, the Company uses several non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP Revenue, non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Operating Margin, non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Business combination accounting rules required Roper to account for the fair value of deferred revenue assumed in connection with the 2015 acquisitions of OnCenter Software, Aderant and Atlas Database Software and the 2016 acquisition of CliniSys Group, Ltd. The fair value is based on the assumed cost of having a third-party provide the relevant support services rather than the contracted amount under the contracts. Because the fair value is less than the contracted amount, Roper's GAAP revenues for the one year period subsequent to the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired companies had they remained independent companies. The Adjusted Revenue measure is intended to reflect the full amount that would have been recognized as revenue, absent the fair value adjustment.
 
Business combination accounting rules require Roper to increase the carrying value of inventory acquired to fair value at the date of purchase (inventory step-up).  Roper's GAAP gross profit for the four months subsequent to the first quarter acquisition of PCI Medical will not reflect the full amount of gross profit that would have otherwise been recorded by the entity had it remained an independent company.  The Adjusted Gross Profit measure is intended to reflect the full amount that would have been recognized by PCI Medical, absent the fair value adjustment.
The non-GAAP Revenue, non-GAAP Gross Profit, non-GAAP Operating Margin, non-GAAP Net Income and non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share reflect these adjustments. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of its business.
 
EBITDA as shown in the press release is defined as adjusted net earnings plus (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is an important indicator of operational performance of the Company's business. EBITDA as calculated by the Company is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA: (a) does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP; (b) is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Company's cash flow needs; and (c) should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or the Company's other financial information determined under GAAP. The Company believes that the line on the Company's consolidated statement of operations entitled net earnings is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA.
 
Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash Provided by Operating Activities" ("Operating Cash Flow") as stated in Roper's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, reduced by capital expenditures. The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a basis for comparing its performance with other companies. Roper's measure of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow is Free Cash Flow adjusted for income taxes paid in the first quarter of 2016 that were related to the gain recognized on the sale of the Abel business in the fourth quarter of 2015.  A reconciliation of Operating Cash Flow to Adjusted Free Cash Flow is included in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
