Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 23, 2009, Roper Industries, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release containing information about the Company's results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

In the press release, the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net earnings plus (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is an important indicator of operational strength and performance of the Company's business because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. EBITDA as calculated by the Company is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In addition, EBITDA: (a) does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP;
(b) is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Company's cash flow needs; and (c) should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or the Company's other financial information determined under GAAP. The Company believes that the line on the Company's consolidated statement of operations entitled net earnings is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. In addition, the Company presents operating margin and segment decremental margins (change in operating profit divided by change in sales) adjusted to exclude restructuring changes. Since the Company incurred restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2009, but not during the comparable period in 2008, it believes that presenting these financial measures on an adjusted basis allows investors to more fully understand the underlying trends in its business. Accordingly, the Company believes these adjusted financial measures provide investors with additional useful information.
