Roper Technologies (ROP) lifted its full-year outlook as the company completed the acquisition of autism therapy software provider CentralReach.

For 2025, the software and technology company now expects per-share earnings of $19.80 to $20.05, up from its previous guidance of $19.75 to $20. The consensus on FactSet is for non-GAAP EPS to rise to $19.90 from the previous year's $18.31.

The company is now anticipating full-year revenue growth of around 12%, up from its previous outlook of more than 10%. Analysts are looking for an increase in sales to $7.77 billion from the prior year's $7.04 billion.

Roper paid $1.65 billion, net of a $200 million tax benefit, for the acquisition of CentralReach that closed on April 23.

"Given our solid start to the year and the completion of the CentralReach acquisition, we're raising our full-year total revenue guidance," Chief Executive Neil Hunn said at an earnings call on Monday, according to a FactSet transcript.

Hunn told analysts that CentralReach is expected to deliver about $175 million of revenue and $75 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the trailing twelve months ending June 2026. "We expect CentralReach's revenue and EBITDA to continue to grow in the 20% area or a touch higher once it turns organic for reporting purposes," Hunn said.

For the March quarter, adjusted EPS rose to $4.78 from $4.41 a year earlier and surpassed analysts' $4.74 estimate. Revenue increased 12% to $1.88 billion, in line with Wall Street's view.

"Our first-quarter financial results were solid and our businesses remain very resilient to the current trade and macroeconomic dynamics," Hunn said on the call.

Application software revenue increased to $1.07 billion for the quarter from $895.2 million a year earlier, while tech-enabled product sales rose to $438.7 million from $414.7 million. Network software climbed to $375.9 million from $370.8 million.

For the June quarter, Roper expects adjusted EPS of $4.80 to $4.84. Analysts are looking for $4.85.

"We are well positioned to continue executing our disciplined and process-driven capital deployment strategy, fueled by our significant (merger and acquisition) firepower and a large pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities," Hunn said in a statement. "Roper's durable cash flow compounding model has historically performed well through economic and market cycles, and we expect our resilience will again be demonstrated in the current environment."
