You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021

Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this report.

Information About Forward-Looking Statements



This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. In addition, we, or our executive officers on our
behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and
other documents we file with the SEC or in connection with oral statements made
to the press, potential investors or others. All statements that are not
historical facts are "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements
may be indicated by words or phrases such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plans,"
"expects," "projects," "should," "will," "believes" or "intends" and similar
words and phrases. These statements reflect management's current beliefs and are
not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied
in any forward-looking statement. Such risks and uncertainties include any
ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, financial
results and liquidity, which will depend on numerous evolving factors that we
cannot accurately predict or assess, including: the duration and scope of the
pandemic, new variants of the virus and the distribution and efficacy of
vaccines; the impact of vaccine mandates on our workforce in certain
jurisdictions; any negative impact on global and regional markets, economies and
economic activity; actions governments, businesses and individuals take in
response to the pandemic; the effects of the pandemic, including all of the
foregoing, on our employees, customers, suppliers, and business partners, and
how quickly economies and demand for our products and services recover following
the pandemic.

Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include but are not
limited to statements regarding operating results, the success of our operating
plans, our expectations regarding our ability to generate cash and reduce debt
and associated interest expense, profit and cash flow expectations, the
prospects for newly acquired businesses to be integrated and contribute to
future growth and our expectations regarding growth through acquisitions.
Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among
others, demand for our products, the cost, timing and success of product
upgrades and new product introductions, raw material costs, expected pricing
levels, expected outcomes of pending litigation, competitive conditions and
general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although
we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or
projections contained in the forward-looking statements include but are not
limited to:

•general economic conditions;
•difficulty making acquisitions and successfully integrating acquired
businesses;
•any unforeseen liabilities associated with future acquisitions;
•limitations on our business imposed by our indebtedness;
•unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates;
•failure to effectively mitigate cybersecurity threats, including any litigation
arising therefrom;
•failure to comply with new data privacy laws and regulations, including any
litigation arising therefrom;
•difficulties associated with exports/imports and risks of changes to tariff
rates;
•risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations;
•rising interest rates;
•product liability and insurance risks;
•increased warranty exposure;
•future competition;
•the cyclical nature of some of our markets;
•reduction of business with large customers;
•risks associated with government contracts;
•changes in the supply of, or price for, labor, energy, raw materials, parts and
components, including as a result of impacts from the current inflationary
environment, ongoing supply chain constraints or outbreaks of COVID-19;
•environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
•potential write-offs of our goodwill and other intangible assets;
•our ability to successfully develop new products;
•failure to protect our intellectual property;
•the effect of, or change in, government regulations (including tax);
                                       17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•economic disruption caused by armed conflicts (such as the war in Ukraine),
terrorist attacks, health crises (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or other
unforeseen geopolitical events; and
•the factors discussed in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are
based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as
of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any
of these statements in light of new information or future events.

Overview



Roper is a diversified technology company. We operate market leading businesses
that design and develop vertical software and application-specific products for
a variety of defensible niche markets.

We pursue consistent and sustainable growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow
by emphasizing continuous improvement in the operating performance of our
businesses. In addition, we utilize a disciplined, analytical and process-driven
approach to redeploy our excess free cash flow toward high-quality acquisitions.

Discontinued Operations



During 2021, the Company signed definitive agreements to divest our TransCore,
Zetec and CIVCO Radiotherapy businesses. As of March 31, 2022, Roper has
completed all three divestitures. The financial results of these businesses are
classified as discontinued operations and certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Information regarding
discontinued operations is included in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies



There were no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to
the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in
"Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" in our Annual Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business



The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of
operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are
highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to,
the duration and spread of the outbreak and its severity, the actions to contain
the virus and its variants including the distribution, administration and
efficacy of available vaccines, the impact of vaccine mandates on our workforce,
and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can
resume. As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic our ability
to obtain products or services from certain suppliers and to operate at certain
locations have been and may continue to be impacted. If COVID-19 and its
variants continue to spread, particularly in countries with low vaccination
rates, certain countries may experience more severe and lasting impacts from the
pandemic. To the extent we have operations and/or customers in these countries,
we may experience adverse impacts on our businesses located in such countries.

Three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to three months ended March 31, 2021



Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 10.9% as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The components of revenue
growth for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

                                                                   Network Software &           Measurement &

In our Application Software segment, revenues were $631.5 in the three months
ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $576.6 in the three months ended March 31,
2021. The growth of 9.1% in organic revenues was broad-based across the segment
led by our businesses serving property and casualty insurance, government
contracting, and acute healthcare markets. Gross margin increased to 69.3% in
the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 69.1% in the three months
ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to operating leverage on higher organic
revenues and revenue mix. SG&A expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to
41.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 42.5% in the three
months ended March 31, 2021 due to operating leverage on higher organic
revenues. The resulting operating margin was 27.5% in the three months ended
March 31, 2022 as compared to 26.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

In our Network Software & Systems segment, revenues were $368.7 in the three
months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $314.2 in the three months ended
March 31, 2021. The growth of 16.1% in organic revenues was broad-based across
the segment led by our network software businesses serving the freight match,
media and entertainment and life insurance markets. Gross margin increased to
82.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 81.6% in the three
months ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to revenue mix. SG&A expenses
decreased as a percentage of revenues at 42.6% in the three months ended
March 31, 2022 as compared to 45.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 due
primarily to operating leverage on higher organic sales combined with revenue
mix. As a result, operating margin was 39.4% in the three months ended March 31,
2022 as compared to 36.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

In our Measurement & Analytical Solutions segment, revenues were $392.4 in the
three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $369.6 in the three months
ended March 31, 2021. The growth of 7.3% in organic revenues was primarily due
to our water meter technology business and industrial businesses. Gross margin
decreased to 55.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 59.0%
in the three months ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to higher material,
component and freight costs as our businesses navigate the widespread global
supply chain challenges. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to
25.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 26.2% in the three
months ended March 31, 2021 due primarily to revenue mix. The resulting
operating margin was 29.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared
to 32.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

In our Process Technologies segment, revenues were $134.0 in the three months
ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $115.7 in the three months ended March 31,
2021. The growth of 17.6% in organic revenues was broad-based across the segment
led by a recovery in oil and gas markets. Gross margin decreased to 54.0% in the
three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 54.2% in the three months ended
March 31, 2021 due to primarily to revenue mix partially offset by higher
operating leverage on organic revenues. SG&A expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 22.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared
to 23.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to operating leverage on
higher organic revenues. As a result, operating margin was 31.2% in the three
months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 30.3% in the three months ended
March 31, 2021.

Corporate expenses increased to $55.8, or 3.7% of revenues, in the three months
ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $49.8, or 3.6% of revenues, in the three
months ended March 31, 2021. The dollar increase was due primarily to higher
compensation and professional services expense.

Net interest expense decreased to $52.6 for the three months ended March 31,
2022 as compared to $60.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to lower
weighted average debt balances associated with our credit facility and fixed
debt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other expense, net, of $1.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was
composed primarily of a one-time charge associated with a transaction to
transfer the remainder of our exposure related to asbestos claims to a third
party, partially offset by foreign exchange gains at our non-U.S. based
subsidiaries. Other income, net, of $27.1 for the three months ended March 31,
2021 was composed primarily of a gain on sale of minority investment of $27.1.

Income taxes as a percent of pretax earnings were 21.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 20.9% for the three months ended March 31,
2021. The rate was impacted by the timing of a tax benefit associated with an
internal restructuring plan that occurred in the first quarter of 2021.

Backlog is equal to our remaining performance obligations expected to be
recognized within the next 12 months as discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Backlog increased 28% to $2,718.0
at March 31, 2022 as compared to $2,131.6 at March 31, 2021. Organic growth in
backlog was 27% and acquisitions contributed 1%.

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing
operations decreased by 10% to $473.8 in the three months ended March 31, 2022
as compared to $525.9 in the three months ended March 31, 2021, due primarily to
less cash provided by working capital associated with higher incentive
compensation payments in the first quarter of 2022 associated with 2021
performance and approximately $36 of accelerated cash receipts in the first
quarter of 2021 generated from our UK-based laboratory software business. These
decreases were partially offset by higher net income from continuing operations
net of non-cash expenses.

Investing activities - Cash used in investing activities from continuing
operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is due to a business
acquisition and capital expenditures. Cash provided by investing activities from
continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was due
primarily to the proceeds from the sale of a minority investment, partially
offset by capital expenditures.

Financing activities - Cash used in financing activities from continuing
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to
repayments on our unsecured credit facility and dividend payments, partially
offset by net proceeds from stock based compensation. Cash used in financing
activities from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31,
2021 was primarily due to net repayments on our unsecured credit facility and
dividend payments.

Discontinued operations - Cash provided by discontinued operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of
TransCore and Zetec slightly offset by less cash provided by discontinued
operations which was impacted by the timing of our divestiture activity. Cash
provided by discontinued operations during the three months ended
                                       21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 31, 2021 was primarily due to net income net of non-cash expenses and cash
provided by working capital primarily associated with the timing of payments
related to accounts receivable.

Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash - Cash and cash
equivalents decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 by $7.3 due
primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the functional
currencies of our European and United Kingdom subsidiaries partially offset by
weakening of the U.S. dollar against our Canadian subsidiaries. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 by $2.4 due
primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the functional
currencies of our European subsidiaries.

Total debt at March 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

$500 3.125% senior notes due 2022               $   500.0

$1,000 1.750% senior notes due 2031               1,000.0
Unsecured credit facility                               -
Deferred finance costs                              (45.9)
Other                                                 0.2

Total debt, net of deferred finance costs 7,454.3 Less current portion

                                799.5

Long-term debt, net of deferred finance costs $ 6,654.8





The interest rate on borrowings under our $3,000.0 unsecured credit facility is
calculated based upon various recognized indices plus a margin as defined in the
credit facility. At March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our
unsecured credit facility and $20.3 of outstanding letters of credit.

Cash at our foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2022 increased to $394 as compared
to $311 at December 31, 2021 due primarily to the cash generated at our foreign
subsidiaries during the three months ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by
the repatriation of $29 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. We intend
to repatriate substantially all historical and future earnings.

We expect existing cash balances, together with cash generated by our operations
and amounts available under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our
operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our unsecured credit facility throughout the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Net working capital (total current assets, excluding cash and current assets
held for sale, less total current liabilities, excluding debt and current
liabilities held for sale) decreased to negative $1,454.2 at March 31, 2022 as
compared to negative $882.5 at December 31, 2021 primarily driven by an increase
in income taxes payable associated with the divestitures of TransCore and Zetec
and a reduction in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in
accrued compensation. Consistent negative net working capital demonstrates
Roper's continued evolution and focus on asset-light business models. Total debt
was $7,454.3 at March 31, 2022 as compared to $7,921.8 at December 31, 2021, due
primarily to the net repayments under our unsecured credit facility. Our
leverage on a continuing operations basis is shown in the following table:

                                   March 31,       December 31,
                                     2022              2021
Total debt                       $  7,454.3       $   7,921.8
Cash                               (3,237.5)           (351.5)
Net debt                            4,216.8           7,570.3
Stockholders' equity               13,551.9          11,563.8
Total net capital                $ 17,768.7       $  19,134.1

Net debt / total net capital           23.7  %           39.6  %



Capital expenditures were $7.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as
compared to $7.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Capitalized software
expenditures were $7.5 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to
$7.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We expect the aggregate of
capital expenditures and capitalized software expenditures for the balance of
the year to be comparable to prior years as a percentage of revenues.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2022, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Outlook



Current geopolitical and economic uncertainties could adversely affect our
business prospects. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an
adverse impact on our business. An armed conflict (such as the war in Ukraine),
significant terrorist attack, other global conflict, or public health crisis
could cause changes in world economies that would adversely affect us. It is
impossible to isolate each of these potential factor's future effects on current
economic conditions or any of our businesses. It is also impossible to predict
with any reasonable degree of certainty what or when any additional events may
occur that also would similarly disrupt the economy and have an adverse impact
on our businesses.

We maintain an active acquisition program; however, future acquisitions will be
dependent on numerous factors and it is not feasible to reasonably estimate if
or when any such acquisitions will occur and what the impact will be on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Such acquisitions may
be financed by the use of existing credit lines, future cash flows from
operations, announced divestitures, future divestitures, the proceeds from the
issuance of new debt or equity securities or any combination of these methods,
the terms and availability of which will be subject to market and economic
conditions generally.

We anticipate that our businesses will generate positive cash flows from
operating activities, and that these cash flows will permit the reduction of
currently outstanding debt in accordance with the repayment schedule. However,
the rate at which we can reduce our debt (and reduce the associated interest
expense) will be affected by, among other things, the financing and operating
requirements of any new acquisitions, the financial performance of our existing
companies and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business prospects and
the financial markets generally. None of these factors can be predicted with
certainty.
