"It was an outstanding year for Roper’s long-term cash flow compounding model. We grew free cash flow 16% to $2.3 billion, surpassing the $2 billion milestone for the first time in our history," said Neil Hunn, Roper Technologies’ President and CEO. "Our total revenue growth of 14% for the year was driven by 6% organic growth and an 8% contribution from our disciplined and process-driven capital deployment capability. To this end, we deployed $3.6 billion of capital toward high-quality vertical software acquisitions, highlighted by Procare Solutions, a leading early childhood education software company, and Transact Campus, which was successfully combined with our CBORD education & healthcare software business."

"Roper not only grew substantially in 2024, but we enter 2025 as a fundamentally better company. This past year, we upgraded key leadership talent, expanded our capital deployment function, and advanced our operating model. As a result, we are entering 2025 with broad-based and positive momentum. Our double-digit 2025 total revenue growth outlook is fueled by improving organic growth and meaningful contributions from our 2024 acquisitions. We believe these growth trends, combined with our significant M&A firepower and large pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities, position Roper well to continue delivering compelling long-term cash flow compounding for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Hunn.
