Industry of Roper:
Roper is a diversified industrial company with a variety of niche-specific solutions, making it difficult to categorize into a single industry. However, there are commonalities. The two main markets in which Roper is located is the software market and the measurement and test market.
The software market is a broad market in which digital goods are developed, leased and sold. There are an enormous number of areas that can be improved through software. The Software as a Service (SaaS) market is over $100 billion in size and growing at 10% per year. SaaS is a licensing and distribution model by which software applications are offered over the Internet, i.e. as a service. Usage is usually on a subscription basis. The huge advantage is the scalability and high switching costs of software. Marginal costs are almost zero and margins are therefore very high in the software sector.
The measurement and test market, on the other hand, is growing more slowly, at 3.9% per year. This refers to various applications, primarily for industry and the healthcare sector, to determine, measure properties of products, such as viscosity. The measurement quality is of great importance for their customers. In this industry, once sales are common, other sources of income are maintenance and consumables. This generates at least some recurring revenue.
In both industries, the industry-specific solutions, strong moats have formed.
A little more about the business model: ⬇️
Roper is a holding company with 46 specialized subsidiaries, roughly evenly split between revenue streams. These companies are the best in their field and often the only ones. A 79% share of sales is generated in the USA. This high share is partly due to the specific solutions, as the individual countries can differ greatly in terms of accounting forms, cultures or even legal frameworks. Software contributes 46% of sales and hardware 54%.
Roper always focuses on niche markets and avoids huge markets, they miss out on great opportunities as a result, but the competitive pressure in such areas is also all the greater and the risk of not coming out as the winner is also much more likely. They focus on high and stable profits when taking over companies. The so-called efficiency program subsequently ensures significantly increasing cash flows. The high cash flows put them in a position to buy up and integrate companies again.
Regarding the many different subsidiaries, synergy effects are deliberately avoided, the companies remain independent companies, which can develop independently. Roper only optimizes these companies, especially with regard to capital commitment, in order to increase free cash flow and otherwise assumes more of an advisory role.
Roper's management: 🙋🏽♂️
Neil Hunn has been chief executive officer of Roper Technologies since 2018. He earned his MBA from Harvard Business School and his bachelor's degree in finance and accounting from Miami University. Prior to being drafted as CEO, he was chief operating officer and executive vice president at Roper. Hunn began at Roper in 2011 as group vice president of Roper Technologies' medical segment and has helped drive the company's growth in medical devices and application software.
Company Goal: 🏁
Roper Technologies' goal is to be a diversified technology company focused on customer value. Roper itself, relies on cutting-edge technologies in diverse areas to diversify their risk and generate the best possible results for shareholders. They see themselves as a company that belongs to the shareholders. Customers benefit from the solutions developed, which are 100% aligned with each niche area.
