Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On October 25, 2012, Roper Industries, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release containing information about the Company's results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
 
In the press release, the Company uses several non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP Revenue, non-GAAP Operating Margin, non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow.
Business combination accounting rules require Roper to account for the fair value of deferred revenue assumed in connection with the Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. ("Sunquest") acquisition.  The fair value is based on the assumed cost of having a third-party provide the relevant support services rather than the contracted amount under the contracts.  Because the fair value is less than the contracted amount, Roper's GAAP revenues for the one year period subsequent to the acquisition will not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have otherwise been recorded by Sunquest had they remained an independent company. The non-GAAP Revenue measure is intended to reflect the full amount that Sunquest would have recognized as revenue, absent the fair value adjustment. The non-GAAP Operating Margin reflects this fair value adjustment as well as the exclusion of expenses related to the Sunquest acquisition. The non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share also excludes a debt extinguishment charge incurred in refinancing the existing credit facility, which is recorded as other expense.  The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of its business giving effect to the Sunquest transaction.
Free Cash Flow is defined as "Cash Provided by Operating Activities" ("Operating Cash Flow") as stated in Roper's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, reduced by capital expenditures.  The Company believes that Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a basis for comparing its performance with other companies. Roper's measure of Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
