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

1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 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 Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Roper,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for all periods presented. The December 31, 2020 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed on February 22, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Roper’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 Statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 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 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”) to the Accounting Standards 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’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method. This ASU amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, and unbilled receivables. We recorded a noncash cumulative effect decrease to retained earnings of $1.7, net of income taxes, on our opening consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020.

3.    Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

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 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 shown below:
Three months ended June 30,Six months ended June 30,
2021202020212020
Basic shares outstanding105.3 104.5 105.1 104.4 
Effect of potential common stock:
Common stock awards1.1 1.0 1.1 1.0 
Diluted shares outstanding106.4 105.5 106.2 105.4 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were 0.525 and 0.531 outstanding stock options, respectively, that were not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share because doing so would have been antidilutive, as compared to 1.322 outstanding stock options that would have been antidilutive in the respective 2020 periods.

4.    Business Acquisitions and Disposition

Roper completed two business acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2021, with an aggregate purchase price of $15.7, net of cash acquired. Both acquisitions were made in June and are integrated into our Deltek business and its results are reported in the Application Software reportable segment. The results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in Roper’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of each acquisition. Pro forma results of operations and the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition date for the acquisitions completed during the first six months of fiscal 2021 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our financial results.

The Company recorded $10.7 in goodwill and $6.7 of other identifiable intangibles in connection with these two acquisitions. The amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $6.4 (13.8 year weighted average useful life) and technology of $0.3 (5 year weighted average useful life).

Disposition

On March 17, 2021, Roper completed the sale of a minority investment in Sedaru, Inc. for $27.1. The pretax gain on the sale was $27.1, which is reported in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

5.    Stock Based Compensation

The Roper Technologies, Inc. 2021 Incentive Plan (“2021 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, directors and consultants. The 2021 Plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 14, 2021. The 2021 Plan replaces the Roper Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), and no additional grants will be made from the 2016 Plan.

The following table provides information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation expense:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
2021202020212020
Stock-based compensation$36.4 $30.5 $69.3 $58.2 
Tax effect recognized in net earnings7.6 6.4 14.6 12.2 

Stock Options - In the six months ended June 30, 2021, 0.504 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $94.81 per option. During the same period in 2020, 0.735 options were granted with a weighted average fair value of $62.30 per

option. All options were issued with an exercise price equal to the closing price of Roper’s common stock on the date of grant, as required by the 2021 Plan and 2016 Plan.

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 periods using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:
Six months ended June 30,
20212020
Risk-free interest rate (%)0.94 0.83 
Expected option life (years)5.615.64
Expected volatility (%)25.16 20.23 
Expected dividend yield (%)0.56 0.62 

Cash received from option exercises for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $61.1 and $63.0, respectively.

Restricted Stock Grants - During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 0.216 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $406.38 per restricted share. During the same period in 2020, the Company granted 0.191 shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $344.16 per restricted share. All grants were issued at grant date fair value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 0.133 restricted shares vested with a weighted average grant date fair value of $314.99 per restricted share and a weighted average vest date fair value of $399.74 per restricted share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan - Roper’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) previously allowed 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. Common stock sold to employees pursuant to the stock purchase plan may be either treasury stock, stock purchased on the open market, or newly issued shares.

We amended the ESPP effective July 1, 2020, which allows employees in the U.S. and Canada to designate up to 10% of eligible earnings to purchase Roper’s common stock at a 10% discount on the lower of the closing price of the stock on the first and last day of each quarterly offering period. Common stock sold to employees pursuant to the ESPP may be either treasury stock, stock purchased on the open market, or newly issued shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, participants in the ESPP purchased 0.022 and 0.014 shares of Roper’s common stock for total consideration of $8.2 and $4.5, respectively. All shares were purchased from Roper’s treasury shares.

Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $290.6 and $200.8 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 interim impairment review is required in 2021. The Company will perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter of 2021.

9.    Contingencies

Roper, in the ordinary course of business, is party to various pending or threatened legal actions, including product liability, intellectual property, data privacy and employment practices that, in general, are of a nature consistent with those over the past several years. After analyzing the Company’s contingent liabilities on a gross basis and, based upon past experience with resolution of such legal claims and the availability and limits of the primary, excess, and umbrella liability insurance coverages 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.

Roper’s subsidiary, Vertafore, Inc., was named in three putative class actions, two 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 one 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 Allend Case. Plantiff has the right to appeal the dismissal of the case. In July 2021, the plaintiff in the Masciotra case voluntarily dismissed his action without prejudice. The one remaining case purports 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. The case seeks recovery under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2721. Vertafore is vigorously defending the case. In addition, Roper has been advised that the Texas Attorney General is investigating the data event.

Roper or its subsidiaries have been named defendants along with numerous industrial companies in asbestos-related litigation claims in certain U.S. states. No significant resources have been required by Roper to respond to these cases and Roper 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.

11.    Revenues from Contracts

Disaggregated Revenue - We disaggregate our revenues into two categories: (i) software and related services; and (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.

Net revenues$1,587.6 $1,305.0 $3,116.2 $2,655.7 

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 June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of

the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $4,574.5. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 58% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months (“Backlog”), with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

(2) 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, 2020 to June 30, 2021 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 associated with timing of invoicing in our project-based businesses, most notably our Transcore business.

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 billing occurring after revenue recognition resulting in contract assets. The Company records contract liabilities 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 contract liability balance on December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $272.1 and $211.5 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $731.2 and $535.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In order to determine revenues recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we allocate revenue to the individual deferred revenue or billings in-excess of revenues balance outstanding at the beginning of the year until the revenue exceeds that balance.

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 Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Annual Report”) as filed on February 22, 2021 with the U.S. Securities and 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; 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.

Additional 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, raw materials, parts and components;
environmental compliance costs and liabilities;
risks and costs associated with asbestos-related litigation;
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);

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

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 them in light of new information or future events.

Overview

Roper is a diversified technology company. We operate businesses that design and develop software (both license and SaaS) and engineered products and solutions for a variety of niche end markets.

We pursue consistent and sustainable growth in earnings and cash flow by emphasizing continuous improvement in the operating performance of our existing businesses and by acquiring other businesses that offer high value-added software, services, engineered products and solutions that we believe are capable of achieving growth and maintaining high margins. We compete in many niche markets and believe we are the market leader or a competitive alternative to the market leader in most of these markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2021 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, its severity, the actions to contain the virus and its variants including the distribution, administration and efficacy of available vaccines, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. As COVID-19 and its variants 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 June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 22% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Acquisitions contributed 12%, organic revenues increased 7% and foreign exchange contributed 2%.

In our Application Software segment, revenues were $591.6 in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $398.4 in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 48%. Acquisitions contributed 38%, organic revenues increased 9% and foreign exchange contributed 2% to growth in the segment. The increase in organic revenues was due to broad-based revenue growth across the segment led by our businesses serving the government contracting, healthcare and education markets. Gross margin increased

Table of Contents
to 69.2% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 68.7% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to the acquisition of Vertafore and operating leverage on higher organic revenues. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 43.1% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 40.3% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to higher amortization of acquired intangibles from the Vertafore and EPSi acquisitions, partially offset by operating leverage on higher organic revenues. The resulting operating margin was 26.1% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 28.5% in the second quarter of 2020.

In our Network Software & Systems segment, revenues were $458.7 in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $422.0 in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 9%. Organic revenues increased 6%, acquisitions contributed 2% and foreign exchange contributed 1% to growth in the segment. The increase in organic revenues was primarily due to subscription growth at our SaaS businesses led by our businesses serving the freight match and construction markets, partially offset by lower toll tag volumes in our toll and traffic business. Gross margin increased to 69.5% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 67.5% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to revenue mix. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 36.7% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 36.5% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to higher amortization of acquired intangibles from the acquisitions completed in 2020. As a result, operating margin was 32.8% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 30.9% in the second quarter of 2020.

Our Measurement & Analytical Solutions segment revenues increased by 9% to $397.0 in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $363.9 in the second quarter of 2020. Organic revenues increased 7% and foreign exchange contributed 2% to growth in the segment. The growth in organic revenues was primarily due to broad-based growth in our water meter technology business, industrial businesses, and medical products businesses excluding Verathon, which declined due to unprecedented demand for their products used in the treatment of COVID-19 during 2020. Gross margin decreased to 58.0% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 60.9% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to revenue mix. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 26.8% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 27.1% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to higher operating leverage on organic revenue growth. The resulting operating margin was 31.2% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 33.8% in the second quarter of 2020.

Our Process Technologies segment revenues increased by 16% to $140.3 in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $120.7 in the second quarter of 2020. Organic revenues increased 13% and foreign exchange contributed 4%. Organic revenues increased due to broad-based revenue growth across the segment as energy and industrial markets began to recover from the pandemic. Gross margin increased to 53.9% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 52.7% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to revenue mix. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 22.5% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 38.7% in the second quarter of 2020 due primarily to a $13.6 restructuring charge for structural cost reduction actions taken at certain businesses during the second quarter of 2020 and higher operating leverage on organic revenue growth. As a result, operating margin was 31.3% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 14.0% in the second quarter of 2020.

Corporate expenses increased to $54.6, or 3.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $50.3, or 3.9% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2020. The dollar increase was due primarily to higher compensation related expenses, partially offset by lower acquisition related expenses.

Net interest expense was $59.5 for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $47.5 for the second quarter of 2020 due to higher weighted average debt balances, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates.

Other income, net, of $0.9 for the second quarter of 2021 was composed primarily of royalty income. Other expense, net, of $2.0 for the second quarter of 2020 was composed primarily of foreign exchange losses at our non-U.S. based subsidiaries.

Income taxes as a percent of pretax earnings decreased to 20.3% in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 22.8% in the second quarter of 2020. The rate was favorably impacted primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit in connection with an internal restructuring plan, partially offset by an unfavorable impact due to a UK tax rate change.

Backlog is equal to our remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized within the next 12 months as discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Backlog increased 30% to $2,647.6 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $2,044.3 at June 30, 2020, organic growth was 11% and acquisitions contributed 19%.

Income taxes as a percent of pretax earnings decreased to 20.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 21.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The rate was favorably impacted primarily due to the recognition of a net tax benefit in connection with an internal restructuring plan, partially offset by an unfavorable impact due to a UK tax rate change.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
All currency amounts are in millions

Selected cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
Six months ended June 30,
Cash provided by/(used in):20212020
Operating activities$985.1 $813.0 
Investing activities(22.2)(177.5)
Financing activities(934.6)532.9 

Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 21% to $985.1 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $813.0 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to (i) higher net income net of non-cash expenses, and (ii) growth in our software businesses, which generated cash from working capital, these increases were partially offset by higher cash taxes due to the deferral of $137.5 of tax payments in the second quarter 2020 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020.

Investing activities - Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is due primarily to capital expenditures and business acquisitions, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of a minority investment. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to business acquisitions.

Financing activities - Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to net repayments on our unsecured credit facility and dividend payments, partially offset by net proceeds from stock based compensation. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of notes and net proceeds from stock based compensation, partially offset by dividend payments.
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash - Cash and cash equivalents increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 by $1.2 due primarily to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the functional currency of our Canadian subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2020 by $7.3 due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the functional currencies of our United Kingdom and Canadian subsidiaries.

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 June 30, 2021, there were $750.0 outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility. At June 30, 2021, we had $5.9 of other debt in the form of short term borrowings, finance leases and several smaller facilities that allow for borrowings in various foreign locations to support our non-U.S. businesses and $62.2 of outstanding letters of credit.

Cash at our foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2021 increased to $316 as compared to $259 at December 31, 2020 due primarily to the cash generated at our foreign subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by the repatriation of $185 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 six months ended June 30, 2021.

Net working capital (total current assets, excluding cash, less total current liabilities, excluding debt) was negative $541.8 at June 30, 2021 as compared to negative $498.4 at December 31, 2020, reflecting a decrease in working capital due primarily to a decrease in accounts receivable, net, and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in unbilled receivables. Consistent negative net working capital demonstrates Roper’s continued evolution and focus on asset-light business models. Total debt was $8,701.9 at June 30, 2021 as compared to $9,566.5 at December 31, 2020, due primarily to the net repayments under our unsecured credit facility. Our leverage is shown in the following table:

Capital expenditures were $17.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $15.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Capitalized software expenditures were $15.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $5.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2021, 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. A 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.

Although we maintain an active acquisition program we are currently focused on reducing debt. 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, 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 during 2021 (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.
