Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value | Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on active markets (Level 1), less active markets (Level 2), and little or no market activity (Level 3). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments, identical instruments in less active markets, or models using market observable inputs. Level 3 instrument valuations typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Debt – Roper’s debt at December 31, 2023 included $6,000.0 of fixed-rate senior notes with the following fair values:
Fixed-rate senior notes |  | Fair value
Principal amount |  | Interest rate |  | Year of maturity |  | As of December 31, 2023
$ | 500 |  |  | 2.350% |  | 2024 |  | $ | 489 |
$ | 300 |  |  | 3.850% |  | 2025 |  | $ | 295 |
$ | 700 |  |  | 1.000% |  | 2025 |  | $ | 655 |

$ | 700 |  |  | 1.400% |  | 2027 |  | $ | 627 |
$ | 800 |  |  | 4.200% |  | 2028 |  | $ | 787 |
$ | 700 |  |  | 2.950% |  | 2029 |  | $ | 642 |
$ | 600 |  |  | 2.000% |  | 2030 |  | $ | 511 |
$ | 1,000 |  |  | 1.750% |  | 2031 |  | $ | 825 |
The fair values of the senior notes are based on the trading prices of each series of notes, which the Company has determined to be Level 2 in the FASB fair value hierarchy. Indicor Investment – In connection with the Indicor Transaction, the Company initially retained a 49% equity interest in Indicor valued at $535.0 as of the transaction close date. This initial valuation was based on the implied equity value associated with the sale price of the 51% equity interest in Indicor to CD&R for approximately $829, inclusive of the Unit Adjustment received by CD&R as discussed below. During 2023, we revised our valuation methodology to utilize the market multiple approach consisting of comparable guideline public companies revenue and earnings multiples to estimate the fair value of the investment, net of the Unit Adjustment discussed below. Our valuation methodology was updated given the passage of time since the transaction date and in consideration of observable market data, including Indicor’s divestiture of its Compressor Controls business unit (“CCC”) to Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) for approximately $670 which closed on June 30, 2023. As part of the investment, Roper is required to make quarterly payments (“Unit Adjustment”), to CD&R, either (i) in cash, with total payments of approximately $29 per year on a pretax basis, or (ii) in-kind through the transfer of Roper’s equity interests in Indicor to CD&R, of approximately 1.7% ownership interest on an annual basis. Roper intends to continue making these quarterly payments in-kind. Roper’s valuation of the Unit Adjustment is based on an expected investment horizon of 5 years from the date of the Indicor Transaction. The Company’s obligation to make such quarterly payments will cease upon the earlier of: •Indicor achieving $425.0 of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization in any three twelve-month periods, whether or not consecutive; or •Upon the initial public offering of Indicor. In the event of a sale of Indicor, CD&R would be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to its initial investment of approximately $829, plus any Unit Adjustment paid in-kind. Management’s valuation assumes the expected exit of the Indicor investment is an initial public offering which is not subject to the liquidation preference. Roper’s approval is required prior to a sale of Indicor for a value that would trigger the liquidation preference. The assessment of fair value for the equity investment requires significant judgments to be made by management. Although our assumptions are considered reasonable and are consistent with the plans and estimates, there is significant judgment applied. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. The fair value of the investment reflects management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the equity interest, which the Company has determined to be Level 3 in the FASB fair value hierarchy. The following table provides a reconciliation of the fair value for our equity investment in Indicor measured using Level 3 inputs:
| Year ended December 31, 2023
Beginning balance | $ | 535.0 |
Change in fair value | 140.9 |
Ending balance | $ | 675.9 |
The Company received dividend distributions of $32.5 from Indicor during the year ended December 31, 2023, which are reported within “Equity investments activity, net.” These dividends were intended to offset certain cash taxes payable associated with the Company’s ownership stake, including $32.5 of cash taxes paid associated with the Company’s portion of Indicor’s gain on the sale of CCC to Honeywell, and are contemplated in the determination of the fair value related to the equity investment in Indicor.
