Roper Industries Announces Record Third Quart...(the first time in our history. Roper...),Health

Roper's acquisition pipeline remains full and the Company has taken additional steps to refine its portfolio of businesses. The Company exercised an option to acquire Black Diamond Advanced Technology, a designer and manufacturer of rugged devices. Roper has exited Redlake Motion through a transaction involving the contribution of working capital and product lines to Integrated Design Tools, Inc., an engineering company specializing in automotive markets and motion technology, with a production hub in Shanghai, China designed to serve the Asian market. In exchange, Roper received a minority, non-controlling interest in the combined business. Roper expects to benefit from these actions in 2008.

Roper's strong order growth was led by the RF and Energy Segments. Strong growth in the Industrial Segment was partially offset by Neptune's comparison to third quarter 2006, when orders were up 38%; Neptune's backlog is 8% higher at the end of the third quarter of 2007 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2006. Continued strength in sales and orders in Roper's businesses reflect the importance of the Company's participation in many secular growth markets.

As a result of its strong third quarter performance and outlook for the remainder of the year, Roper is increasing its full year DEPS guidance from $2.60 - $2.66 to $2.63 - $2.67 and establishing fourth quarter DEPS guidance of $0.72 - $0.76. Roper now expects full year EBITDA in excess of $525 million and operating cash flow of $320 million or more. The Company's guidance does not include benefits from future acquisitions, but does include the dilutive effect of the Company's senior subordinated convertible notes based on the stock price on September 30, 2007.
