U.S.-based diversified industrial and engineered product manufacturer Roper Technologies Inc. continues to demonstrate strong profitability and healthy credit measures despite the headwinds in its energy and industrial end markets. We are revising our outlook on Roper Technologies Inc. to positive from stable and are affirming all of our ratings on the company, including our 'BBB' corporate credit rating. The positive outlook indicates that we could raise our ratings on Roper during the next two years if we believe that the company will likely demonstrate more conservative financial policies, as indicated by consistently maintaining a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 2x and a free operating cash flow (FOCF)-to-debt ratio in excess of 25%.
