Roper, in the ordinary course of business, is party to various pending or threatened legal actions, including product liability, intellectual property, antitrust, 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. However, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Roper’s subsidiary, PowerPlan, Inc. (“PowerPlan”), was a defendant in an action that was pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Lucasys Inc. v. PowerPlan, Inc., Case 1:20-cv-02987-AT) in which the plaintiff, a firm started
by former PowerPlan employees, alleged PowerPlan had engaged in, among other things, anticompetitive practices in violation of federal antitrust law which impacted the plaintiff’s ability to commercialize its software and services offerings. In January 2025, PowerPlan and the plaintiff agreed to settle the matter and such was fully concluded and cash settled in January 2025 for $24.0 on a pretax basis ($17.7 after taxes).

As of December 31, 2024, Roper had $6.8 of outstanding letters of credit issued to guarantee its performance under certain services contracts or to support certain insurance programs and $49.6 of outstanding surety bonds. Certain contracts require Roper to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of its performance of contractual obligations.
