Roper Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
March 31, 2013


1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Roper" or the "Company") for all periods presented. The December 31, 2012 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Roper's management has made a number of 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 statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. You should read these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with Roper's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its 2012 Annual Report filed on February 25, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").


2.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to accounting rules related to the testing of indefinite-lived intangibles.  The new accounting rules permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test prescribed under current accounting rules.   Roper adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013.  The guidance did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


3.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share were calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share were calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the respective period. Potentially dilutive common stock consisted of stock options and the premium over the conversion price on Roper's senior subordinated convertible notes based upon the trading price of Roper's common stock. The effects of potential common stock were determined using the treasury stock method.  Weighted average shares outstanding are as shown below (in thousands):

99,986
 
99,307
 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 there were 568,850 outstanding stock options that were not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share because doing so would have been antidilutive, as compared to 454,165 outstanding stock options that would have been antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2012.


4.
Stock Based Compensation

The Roper Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan is a stock based compensation plan used to grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights or equivalent instruments to Roper's employees, officers and directors.

Roper's stock purchase plan allows employees in the U.S. and Canada to designate up to 10% of eligible earnings to purchase Roper's common stock at a 5% discount to the average closing price of the stock at the beginning and end of a quarterly offering period. The common stock sold to the employees may be either treasury stock, stock purchased on the open market, or newly issued shares.


The following table provides information regarding the Company's stock based compensation expense (in thousands):

Stock Options - In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 447,850 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $36.53 per option. During the same period in 2012, 383,600 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $29.65 per option. All options were issued at grant date fair value, which is defined by the Plan as the closing price of Roper's common stock on the date of grant.

Roper records compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Historical data is used to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected dividend yield, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during current and prior year quarters using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

 
Three months ended March 31,
 
2013
 
2012
Fair value per share ($)

Cash received from option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $9.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards - During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 261,390 restricted stock awards were granted with a weighted average fair value of $115.36 per restricted share. During the same period in 2012, 258,057 restricted stock awards were granted with a weighted average fair value of $93.62 per restricted share. All grants were issued at grant date fair value.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, 103,795 restricted awards vested with a weighted average grant date fair value of $57.64 per restricted share, and a weighted average vest date fair value of $120.14 per restricted share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan - During the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, participants of the employee stock purchase plan purchased 5,594 and 6,764 shares, respectively, of Roper's common stock for total consideration of $0.64 million and $0.60 million, respectively. All shares were purchased from Roper's treasury shares.

Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $33,084 and $25,034 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
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 impairment in 2013. The Company expects to perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter.
 
 
7.
Debt

Roper's 3.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2034 became convertible on January 15, 2009.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, 113 notes were converted by note holders for $0.16 million in cash.  No gain or loss was recorded upon these conversions.  In addition, a related $0.3 million deferred tax liability associated with excess deductions recorded for tax purposes was relieved to additional paid-in capital upon the conversions.

At March 31, 2013, the conversion of 3,495 notes was pending, with a settlement date of April 4, 2013.  The conversion resulted in the payment of $5.5 million in cash.

At March 31, 2013, the conversion price on the remaining outstanding notes was $461.87.  If converted at March 31, 2013, the value would have exceeded the $10 million principal amount of the outstanding notes by $24 million and could have resulted in the issuance of 193,257 shares of Roper's common stock.
 

8.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Roper's debt at March 31, 2013 included $1.9 billion of fixed-rate senior notes with the following fair values (in millions):

$500 million senior notes due 2013
 
$
512
 
$400 million senior notes due 2017
   
403
 
$500 million senior notes due 2019
   
604
 
$500 million senior notes due 2022
   
498
 

The fair values of the senior notes are based on the trading prices of the notes, which the Company has determined to be Level 2 in the FASB fair value hierarchy.  Short-term debt included $12 million of fixed-rate convertible notes which were at fair value due to the ability of note holders to exercise the conversion option of the notes.

The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining a combination of fixed- and variable-rate debt, which may include interest rate swaps to convert fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt, or to convert variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.   At March 31, 2013, an aggregate notional amount of $500 million in interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges effectively changed Roper's $500 million senior notes due 2013 with a fixed interest rate of 6.625% to a variable-rate obligation at a weighted average spread of 4.377% plus the 3 month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").

The swaps are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, and the changes in fair value of both the interest rate swap and the hedged senior notes due 2013 are recorded as interest expense. At March 31, 2013, the fair value of the swap was an asset balance of $3.4 million and was reported in other current assets. There was a corresponding increase of $2.6 million in the notes being hedged, which was reported as current portion of long-term debt.  The impact on earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was immaterial. The Company has determined the swaps to be Level 2 in the FASB fair value hierarchy, and uses inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks in order to value the instruments.
 
 
9.
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 and employment practices. It is vigorously contesting all lawsuits that, in general, are based upon claims of the kind that have been customary over the past several years. After analyzing the Company's contingent liabilities on a gross basis and, based upon past experience with resolution of its product liability and employment practices claims and the 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's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Over recent years there has been an increase in certain U.S. states in asbestos-related litigation claims against numerous industrial companies. Roper or its subsidiaries have been named defendants in some such cases. No significant resources have been required by Roper to respond to these cases and the Company believes it has valid defenses to such claims and, if required, intends to defend them vigorously. Given the state of these claims it is not possible to determine the potential liability, if any.

Roper's financial statements include accruals for potential product liability and warranty claims based on its claims experience. Such costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. A summary of the warranty accrual activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is presented below (in thousands):

ITEM 2.                          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed on February 25, 2013 with the SEC and the notes to our 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("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.

Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include but are not limited to statements regarding operating results, the success of our internal operating plans, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows 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, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, timing and success of product upgrades and new product introductions, raw materials costs, expected pricing levels, the timing and cost of expected capital expenditures, expected outcomes of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and expected synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. 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;
·
difficulties associated with exports;
·
risks and costs associated with our international sales and operations;
·
increased directors' and officers' liability and other insurance costs;
·
risk of 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, raw materials, parts and components;
·
environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
·
risks and costs associated with asbestos-related litigation;
·
potential write-offs of our substantial 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);
·
economic disruption caused by terrorist attacks, health crises or other unforeseen events; and
·
the factors discussed in other reports filed with the SEC.

We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, 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.

Three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to three months ended March 31, 2012

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $737.1 million as compared to $711.1 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 4%. The increase was the result of sales from acquisitions of 7%, and negative organic growth of 3%.  Acquisitions included those completed in 2012.

In our Industrial Technology segment, net sales were down 7% to $182.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $195.1 million in the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to the loss of a customer at our water metering business and lower sales at our materials testing business.  Gross margins increased to 51.2% for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 50.6% in the first quarter of 2012 due to product mix. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 22.2% in the current year quarter from 21.1% in the prior year quarter due to negative operating leverage on lower sales volume. The resulting operating profit margins were 29.1% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 29.5% in the first quarter of 2012.

Net sales in our Energy Systems & Controls segment decreased by 2% to $145.6 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $148.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.  Acquisitions added 1% while organic sales decreased by 3%.  The decrease in organic sales was due to lower sales in our industrial pressure sensors business.  Gross margins increased to 55.6% in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to 54.1% in the first quarter of 2012 due to product mix. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 31.0% compared to 30.1% in the prior year quarter due to negative operating leverage on lower sales volume. As a result, operating margins were 24.5% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 24.0% in the first quarter of 2012.

Our Medical & Scientific Imaging segment net sales increased by 23% to $200.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $162.8 million in the first quarter of 2012.  Acquisitions completed in 2012 accounted for 32% of the increase, with negative organic growth of 8% due to decreased sales in our electron microscopy and imaging businesses. The foreign exchange impact was a negative 1%.  Gross margins increased to 67.3% in the first quarter of 2013 from 65.2% in the first quarter of 2012 due primarily to additional sales from medical products which have a higher gross margin.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 37.4% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 38.6% in the first quarter of 2012 due to additional sales from medical products which have a lower fixed-cost structure.  As a result, operating margins were 29.9% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 26.6% in the first quarter of 2012.

In our RF Technology segment, net sales were $208.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $204.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 2%.  The increase was due primarily to growth in our toll and traffic and security solutions businesses.  Gross margins increased to 53.9% as compared to 51.8% in the prior year quarter due to a more favorable product mix and operating leverage on higher sales volume. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2013 decreased to 26.8% as compared to 27.2% in the prior year due to operating leverage on higher sales volume. As a result, operating profit margins were 27.1% in 2013 as compared to 24.6% in 2012.

Corporate expenses were $20.0 million, or 2.7% of sales, in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $16.6 million, or 2.3% of sales, in the first quarter of 2012.  The increase was due to higher stock-based compensation resulting from higher stock prices.

Interest expense was $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2012.  The increase was due to higher average outstanding debt balances related to 2012 acquisitions, offset in part by lower average interest rates.

Other expense increased to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 due to foreign exchange losses at our non-U.S. based subsidiaries.

Income taxes were 22.8% of pretax earnings in the current quarter, lower than the prior year rate of 29.8%. The reduction was due to $6 million in discrete tax benefits related to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 ("ATRA"), as well as a $6 million benefit from the adjustment of tax balances which were immaterial to any covered period.

At March 31, 2013, the functional currencies of most of our European and our Canadian subsidiaries were weaker against the U.S. dollar compared to currency exchange rates at December 31, 2012. The currency changes resulted in a pretax decrease of $40 million in the foreign exchange component of comprehensive earnings for the current year quarter, $21 million of which is related to goodwill and does not directly affect our expected future cash flows. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the functional currencies of our Canadian and some of our European subsidiaries were weaker against the U.S. dollar as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The difference in operating profits related to foreign exchange, translated into U.S. dollars, was less than 1% for these companies in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year quarter.

Net orders were $793.6 million for the quarter, 9% higher than the first quarter 2012 net order intake of $729.4 million.  Our order backlog at March 31, 2013 was 17% higher as compared to March 31, 2012. Acquisitions completed in 2012 contributed 8% to the current quarter orders and 15% to the current quarter order backlog.

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 21.1% to $171.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to $141.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 due to higher net earnings and increased amortization of other intangibles related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation.

Investing activities - Cash used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2013 was primarily for capital expenditures, and was primarily for business acquisitions and capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2012.

Financing activities - Cash used in financing activities in the current year quarter, and was primarily for debt principal repayments and primarily for dividends and debt principal repayments in the prior year quarter.  Cash provided by financing activities in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 was primarily from stock option proceeds. Net debt payments were $100.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Total debt at March 31, 2013 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

The interest rate on borrowings under our $1.5 billion credit facility is calculated based upon various recognized indices plus a margin as defined in the credit agreement. At March 31, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the facility.  At March 31, 2013, we had $5.5 million of other debt in the form of capital leases, several smaller facilities that allow for borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit in various foreign locations to support our non-U.S. businesses and $41 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The cash and short-term investments at our foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2013 totaled $312 million.  Repatriation of these funds under current regulatory and tax law for use in domestic operations would expose us to additional taxes.  We consider this cash to be permanently reinvested.  We expect existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated by our U.S. operations, our unsecured credit facility, as well as our expected ability to access the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund operating requirements in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our credit facilities throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Net working capital (total current assets, excluding cash, less total current liabilities, excluding debt) was $288.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $307.8 million at December 31, 2012, reflecting decreases in working capital due primarily to improved receivables collection. Total debt was $1.92 billion at March 31, 2013 as compared to $2.02 billion at December 31, 2012, due to the use of operating cash flows to reduce outstanding debt.   Our leverage is shown in the following table:

At March 31, 2013, 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.

Capital expenditures of $11.2 million and $10.0 million were incurred during the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. We expect capital expenditures for the balance of the year to be comparable to prior years as a percentage of sales.


Outlook

Current geopolitical uncertainties could adversely affect our business prospects. A significant terrorist attack or other global conflict could cause changes in world economies that would adversely affect us. It is impossible to isolate each of these factor's effects on current economic conditions. It is also impossible to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty what or when any additional events may occur that also will similarly disrupt the economy.

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, the proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity securities or some combination of these methods.

We anticipate that our recently acquired companies as well as our other companies will generate positive cash flows from operating activities, and that these cash flows will permit the reduction of currently outstanding debt. However, the rate at which we can reduce our debt during 2013 (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; and none of these factors can be predicted with certainty.
