Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2017All currency and share amounts are in millions, except per share data


1.    Basis of Presentation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 20162021 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows of Roper Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Roper"(“Roper,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or the "Company"“us”) for all periods presented. The December 31, 20162021 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2016Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("(“Annual Report"Report”) filed on February 27, 201722, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"(“SEC”) but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”).


Roper'sRoper’s management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


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 3 divestitures. The financial results for these businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to continuing operations. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on discontinued operations.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with Roper'sRoper’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.


2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) establishes changes to accounting principles under GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates ("ASUs"(“ASUs”) to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification.Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Any recent ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company'sCompany’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued an update providing guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory. This update, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, requires that inventory within the scope of the update be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The update did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This update, effective on a prospective basis for goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in the update, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the update to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an update clarifying the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This update, effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The Company does not expect the update to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update on lease accounting. This update, effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, provides amendments to current lease accounting. These amendments include the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing other key information about leasing arrangements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the update on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued updates on accounting and disclosures for revenue from contracts with customers. These updates, effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, create a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The model is based on changes in contract assets (rights to receive consideration) and liabilities (obligations to provide a good or service). Revenue will be recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations, which occurs when control of a good or service transfers to a customer and enhanced disclosures will be required regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. Either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has substantially completed its assessment to identify differences between the existing standard and new standard on its customer contracts. Based on this assessment, the Company expects the impact of the new standard is due primarily to the acceleration of recognition of revenues and associated costs for certain of our software license contracts. Under existing guidance, these contracts are recognized ratably over the contractual term of post-contract support services in the event vendor-specific objective evidence is unavailable. The new standard requires recognition at once upon the transfer of control of the software license. The Company estimates the opening balance sheet adjustment as of January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective transition method will be less than 1% of the Company's 2017 annual revenues, prior to the effects of income taxes. The FASB has issued, and may issue in the future, interpretive guidance which may cause the evaluation to change. The Company believes it is following an appropriate timeline to allow for proper recognition, presentation and disclosure upon adoption effective the beginning of fiscal year 2018.

An evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is required to be performed on an annual basis and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in circumstances which indicate an interim impairment review is required in 2017.2022. The Company will perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter of 2017.2022.

9.10.    Contingencies


Roper, in the ordinary course of business, is the subject of, or a party to various pending or threatened legal actions, including product liability, intellectual property, data privacy and employment practices that, in general, are based upon claims of the kind that have been customarya nature consistent with those over the past several years and which the Company is vigorously defending.years. After analyzing the Company'sCompany’s contingent liabilities on a gross

basis and, based upon past experience with resolution of its product liability and employment practicessuch legal claims and the availability and limits of the primary, excess, and umbrella liability insurance coverages that are available with respect to pending claims, management believes that adequate provision has been made to cover any potential liability not covered by insurance, and that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these actions should not have a material adverse effect on Roper'sRoper’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.


Roper’s subsidiary, Vertafore, Inc., was named in 3 putative class actions, 2 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Allen, et al. v. Vertafore, Inc., Case 4:20-cv-4139, filed December 4, 2020) and Masciotra, et al. v. Vertafore, Inc., (originally filed on December 8, 2020 as Case 1:20-cv-03603 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and subsequently transferred), and 1 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Mulvey, et al. v. Vertafore, Inc., Case 3:21-cv-00213-E, filed January 31, 2021). In July 2021, the court granted Vertafore’s motion to dismiss the Allen Case. In March 2022, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of the Allen case. In July 2021, the plaintiff in the Masciotra case voluntarily dismissed his action without prejudice. The Allen case and the Mulvey case each purport to represent approximately 27.7 million individuals who held Texas driver’s licenses prior to February 2019. In November 2020, Vertafore announced that as a result of human error, three data files were inadvertently stored in an unsecured external storage service that appears to have been accessed without authorization. The files, which included driver information for licenses issued before February 2019, contained Texas driver license numbers, as well as names, dates of birth, addresses and vehicle registration histories. The files did not contain any Social Security numbers or financial account information. These cases seek recovery under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721. In addition, Roper was advised that the Texas Attorney General is investigating the data event.

Roper’s subsidiary, Verathon, Inc. (“Verathon”), is defending a patent infringement action pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (Berall v. Verathon, Inc., Case No. 2:2021mc00043). Plaintiff claims that video laryngoscopes and certain accessories sold by Verathon from approximately 2006 through 2016 infringe U.S. Patent 5,827,178 (the “‘178 Patent”). The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and pre-
14


and post-judgment interest. Verathon contends that the products at issue do not infringe the ‘178 Patent and that the ‘178 Patent is invalid. Verathon is vigorously defending the matter.

12.    Revenues from Contracts

Disaggregated Revenue - We disaggregate our revenues into two categories: (i) software and $109,614related services; and $89,730(ii) engineered products and related services. Software and related services revenues are primarily derived from our Application Software and Network Software & Systems reportable segments. Engineered products and related services revenues are derived from all of our reportable segments except Application Software and comprise substantially all of the revenues generated in our Measurement & Analytical Solutions and Process Technologies reportable segments. See details in the table below.

Three Months Ended March 31,
20222021
Software and related services$970.0 $864.5 
Engineered products and related services556.6 511.6 
Net revenues$1,526.6 $1,376.1 

Remaining performance obligations - Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $4,000.3. We expect to recognize revenue of $2,718.0, or approximately 68% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months (“Backlog”), with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

Net contract assets/(liabilities)$(1,121.8)$(1,110.2)$(11.6)
(1)The non-current portion of deferred revenue is included in “Other liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The change in our net contract assets/(liabilities) from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 was due primarily to the timing of payments and invoicing relating to Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) and post contract support (“PCS”) renewals, partially offset by the increase in unbilled receivables due to the timing of invoicing primarily related to software milestone billings associated with multi-year term license renewals and software implementations.

Most of the Company’s project-based contracts where the input method of revenue recognition is utilized are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in unbilled receivables where billing occurs after revenue recognition. The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance relating primarily to SaaS and PCS renewals. Revenue recognized from the deferred revenue balance on December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $495.7 and $450.9 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively.



In order to determine revenues recognized in the period, we allocate revenue to the individual deferred revenue balance outstanding at the beginning of the year until the revenue exceeds that balance.

The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in “Other current assets” and “Other assets,” respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $58.3 and $56.7 of deferred commissions, respectively.

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


At September 30, 2017,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. AThe 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, or 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 factor'spotential factor’s future effects on current economic conditions.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.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.methods, the terms and availability of which will be subject to market and economic conditions generally.


We anticipate that our recently acquired companies as well as our other companiesbusinesses will generate positive cash flows from operating activities, and that these cash flows will permit the reduction of borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.currently outstanding debt in accordance with the repayment schedule. However, the rate at which we can reduce our debt during 2017 (and reduce the associated interest expense) will be affected by, among other things, the financing and operating requirements of any new acquisitions, and the financial performance of our existing companies.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.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS


ForInformation regarding risk factors can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Information About Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part 1 - Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part 1 - Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are providing the following information regarding changes that have occurred to the previously disclosed risk factors that could affectin our Form 10-K. Except for such additional information, there were no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the risk factors reported in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations seecould be adversely affected by disruptions in the risk factors discussionglobal economy caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Furthermore, governments in Item 1Athe United States, United Kingdom and European Union have each imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. We have historically had limited operations in Russia and a limited number of suppliers in Ukraine. Nevertheless, the Russia-Ukraine military conflict could have a negative impact on the global supply chain logistics or economy. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the military conflict, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our Annual Report. See also "Information About Forward-Looking Statements" includedknown risks described in section entitled “Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q.10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.
