(Dollar and share amounts are in millions, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows of Roper Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Roper,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for all periods presented. The December 31, 2024 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed on February 24, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Roper’s management has made estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. You should read these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with Roper’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) establishes changes to accounting principles under GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Any recent ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (ASU 2023-07), which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this update beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09), which expands income tax disclosure requirements, including disaggregation of rate reconciliation table categories, disaggregation of earnings before income taxes and income tax expense information, and disaggregation of income taxes paid information, among other changes. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU will likely result in additional disclosures. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (ASU 2024-03), which requires the disclosure of additional information about specific categories of costs and expenses in the notes to consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will likely result in additional disclosures. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.

3. Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

Basic earnings per share was calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share was calculated using net earnings and the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the respective period. Potentially dilutive common stock consisted of stock options and restricted stock awards based upon the average trading price of Roper’s common stock. The effects of potential common stock were determined using the treasury stock method.

Weighted average shares outstanding are presented below:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025	2024
Basic shares outstanding		107.4	107.0
Effect of potential common stock:
Common stock awards		0.8	0.9
Diluted shares outstanding		108.2	107.9

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were 0.844 stock-based awards outstanding that were not included in the determination of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive, as compared to 0.548 stock-based awards outstanding that would have been antidilutive in the comparable period of 2024.

4. Business Acquisitions

On February 19, 2025, Roper acquired substantially all of the assets of Muni-Link for a purchase price of $118.0, which contemplates a net present value tax benefit of approximately $20. Muni-Link is a leading provider of cloud-based utility management, billing, and customer communication software solutions for municipalities and other local governments. This acquisition has been integrated into our Neptune business and its results are reported in the Technology Enabled Products reportable segment.

The Company recorded $73.5 in goodwill and $45.6 of other identifiable intangibles in connection with this acquisition. The amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships of $41.8 (17 year useful life) and technology of $3.8 (5 year useful life).

The results of operations of the acquired business are included in Roper’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations and the revenues and net earnings subsequent to the acquisition date have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were not material to our financial results.

On April 23, 2025, Roper acquired CentralReach Holdings, LLC (“CentralReach”) for a purchase price of approximately $1,850, which contemplates a net present value tax benefit of approximately $200. CentralReach is a leading provider of cloud-based software and artificial intelligence-enabled solutions enabling the workflow and administration of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related disabilities care. The results of CentralReach will be reported in the Application Software reportable segment beginning in the second quarter of 2025. The transaction was funded using borrowings under Roper’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Roper Technologies, Inc. 2021 Incentive Plan is a stock-based compensation plan used to grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively “restricted stock awards”), stock appreciation rights, or equivalent instruments to Roper’s employees, officers, directors, and consultants.

Information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation expense, included as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses” (“SG&A expenses”), is provided in the following table:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025		2024
Stock-based compensation		$	38.8	$	33.6
Tax benefit recognized in net earnings		$	6.3	$	5.9

The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur, with previously recognized compensation reversed in the period in which the awards are forfeited.

Stock Options – During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 0.242 options were granted with a weighted-average fair value of $182.89 per option. During the comparable period in 2024, 0.244 options were granted with a weighted-average fair value of $173.78 per option. All options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of Roper’s common stock on the date of grant, as required by the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.

Roper records compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Historical data is used to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected dividend yield, and the expected option life. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the option.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the current and prior year periods using the Black-Scholes option valuation model:


	Three months ended March 31,
	2025	2024
Risk-free interest rate (%)	4.12	4.15
Expected option life (years)	5.74	5.73
Expected volatility (%)	25.07	25.57
Expected dividend yield (%)	0.52	0.50

Cash received from option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $61.1 and $39.3, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards – During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 0.342 shares of restricted stock awards with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $608.04 per share. During the comparable period in 2024, the Company granted 0.337 shares of restricted stock awards with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $557.15 per share. These awards were granted at the fair market value of the share on the date of grant.

Restricted stock awards include 0.074 and 0.072 performance-based restricted stock awards granted to certain members of the Roper senior leadership team during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $663.42 and $563.04 per share, respectively. Such awards include the ability to earn up to 200% of the number of restricted stock awards originally granted contingent upon Roper’s performance over a three-year period, subject to a market modifier based on the Company’s ranking of total shareholder return relative to the other companies within the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 0.093 restricted stock award shares vested with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $479.18 per share and a weighted-average vest date fair value of $582.56 per share. During the comparable period in 2024, 0.100 restricted stock award shares vested with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $437.34 per share and a weighted-average vest date fair value of $556.38 per share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan – Roper’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) allows employees in the U.S. and Canada to designate up to 10% of eligible earnings to purchase Roper’s common stock at a 10% discount on the lower of the closing price on the first and last day of each quarterly offering period. Common stock sold to employees pursuant to the ESPP may be either treasury stock, stock purchased on the open market, or newly issued shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, participants of the ESPP purchased 0.016 and 0.012 shares, respectively, of Roper’s common stock for total consideration of $7.2 and $5.8, respectively. All of these shares were purchased from Roper’s treasury shares.

6. Inventories

The components of inventories were as follows:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Raw materials and supplies	$	65.1	$	65.5

Finished products	39.4		34.4
Inventory reserves	(11.2)		(11.2)
Inventories, net	$	125.5	$	120.8

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The carrying value of goodwill by segment was as follows:


	Application Software		Network Software		Technology Enabled Products		Total
Balances at December 31, 2024	$	14,677.6	$	3,706.4	$	928.9	$	19,312.9

Other relates to purchase accounting adjustments for acquisitions completed in 2024.

Other intangible assets were comprised of:


	Cost		Accumulated amortization		Net book value
Assets subject to amortization:
Customer related intangibles	$	11,303.7	$	(3,457.0)	$	7,846.7
Unpatented technology	851.7		(454.7)		397.0

Patents and other protective rights	9.2		(1.9)		7.3

Assets not subject to amortization:
Trade names	808.6		—		808.6

Balances at December 31, 2024	$	12,973.2	$	(3,913.6)	$	9,059.6

Assets subject to amortization:
Customer related intangibles	$	11,354.3	$	(3,623.5)	$	7,730.8
Unpatented technology	794.0		(425.2)		368.8

Patents and other protective rights	9.1		(1.9)		7.2

Assets not subject to amortization:
Trade names	810.1		—		810.1

Balances at March 31, 2025	$	12,967.5	$	(4,050.6)	$	8,916.9

Amortization expense of other intangible assets was $194.5 and $178.4 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

An evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles is required to be performed on an annual basis, and on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in circumstances which indicate an interim impairment review is required in 2025. The Company will perform the annual analysis during the fourth quarter of 2025.

8. 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 – As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total estimated fair value of Roper’s fixed-rate senior notes was $7,108.9 and $7,005.2, respectively. 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.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no and $125.0 borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, respectively. The carrying value of these borrowings approximates their estimated fair value.

Indicor Investment – As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held a 45.1% and 45.5% equity interest in Indicor Equity, LLC, respectively. We elected to apply the fair value option as we believe this is the most reasonable method to value this equity investment. The fair value of Roper’s equity investment in Indicor is estimated on a quarterly basis and the change in fair value is reported as a component of “Equity investments (gain) loss, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Although we believe our assumptions are considered reasonable and are consistent with the plans and estimates included in our Annual Report, there is significant judgment applied to determine fair value. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. Our valuation methodology utilizes the market multiple approach consisting of comparable guideline public companies revenue and earnings multiples to estimate the fair value of this equity investment. 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:


	Three months ended March 31,
		2025		2024
Beginning balance		$	772.3	$	675.9

9. Contingencies

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).

11. Revenues from Contracts

Disaggregated Revenue – We disaggregate our revenues by reportable segment into four categories: (i) recurring revenue comprised of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), annual term licenses, and software maintenance; (ii) reoccurring revenue comprised of transactional and volume-based fees facilitated through our software; (iii) non-recurring revenue comprised of multi-year term and perpetual software licenses, professional services associated with software products and hardware sold with our software licenses; and (iv) product revenue. See details in the table below:


	Three months ended March 31, 2025								Three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenue stream	Application Software		Network Software		Technology Enabled Products		Total		Application Software		Network Software		Technology Enabled Products		Total

Remaining Performance Obligations – Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed, excluding unexercised contract options. As of March 31, 2025, total remaining performance obligations were $4,656.8. We expect to recognize revenues of $3,033.8, or approximately 65% of our remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months (“Backlog”), with the remainder of the revenue to be recognized thereafter.

Contract balances


Balance sheet account	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		Change
Unbilled receivables	$	135.7	$	127.3	$	8.4
Deferred revenue – current	(1,667.9)		(1,737.4)		69.5
Deferred revenue – non-current (1)	(164.9)		(154.7)		(10.2)
Net contract assets/(liabilities)	$	(1,697.1)	$	(1,764.8)	$	67.7

(1) The non-current portion of deferred revenue is included in “Other liabilities” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The change in our net contract assets/(liabilities) from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the timing of payments and invoicing related to SaaS and post-contract support (“PCS”) renewals, driven predominantly by the SaaS renewal cycle of our Frontline business which primarily occurs in the third quarter.

The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance relating primarily to SaaS and PCS renewals. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 that was included in the deferred revenue balance on December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $774.4 and $693.9, respectively. In order to determine revenues recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we allocate revenue to the individual deferred revenue balance outstanding at the beginning of the year until the revenue exceeds that balance.

The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets,” respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $91.6 and $90.5 of total deferred commissions, respectively.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1,882.8 as compared to $1,680.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 12.0%. The components of revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:


	Application Software		Network Software		Technology Enabled Products		Roper
Total Revenue Growth	19.3	%	1.4	%	5.8	%	12.0	%
Less Impact of:
Acquisitions	13.6		1.0		0.3		7.6
Foreign Exchange	(0.2)		(0.3)		(0.5)		(0.4)

Organic Revenue Growth	5.9	%	0.7	%	6.0	%	4.8	%

In our Application Software segment, net revenues in the first quarter of 2025 grew 19.3% to $1,068.2 as compared to $895.2 in the first quarter of 2024, led by acquisition contribution from Transact and Procare. The growth of 5.9% in organic revenues was broad-based across the segment, led by our businesses serving the acute healthcare, project-based business/government contracting, and property and casualty insurance markets. Gross margin decreased to 67.5% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 69.9% in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to a lower gross margin profile associated with the higher payments revenue mix at Transact and Procare. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 41.6% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 43.1% in the first quarter of 2024, due primarily to operating leverage on higher organic revenues and a lower SG&A profile associated with the higher payments revenue mix at Transact and Procare. The resulting operating margin was 25.9% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 26.8% in the first quarter of 2024.

In our Network Software segment, net revenues in the first quarter of 2025 grew 1.4% to $375.9 as compared to $370.8 in the first quarter of 2024. The growth of 0.7% in organic revenues was led by our network software businesses serving the construction and freight match markets. These increases were partially offset by a decline in our alternate site group purchasing business, and a decline in our media and entertainment software business primarily related to end-market conditions. Gross margin decreased to 84.0% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 85.3% in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to new product investment and reduced leverage. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 39.6% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 40.3% in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to improved operating leverage. As a result, operating margin was 44.3% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 45.0% in the first quarter of 2024.

In our Technology Enabled Products segment, net revenues in the first quarter of 2025 grew 5.8% to $438.7 as compared to $414.7 in the first quarter of 2024. The growth of 6.0% in organic revenues was led by certain of our medical products businesses, highlighted by our precision measurement business, as well as growth in our water meter technology business. Gross margin increased to 58.7% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 57.6% in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to improved leverage on higher organic revenues and revenue mix. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 23.6% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 24.8% in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to operating leverage on higher organic revenues. The resulting operating margin was 35.0% in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 32.8% in the first quarter of 2024.

Corporate expenses increased to $71.3, or 3.8% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $61.5, or 3.7% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 2024. The dollar increase was due primarily to higher compensation expense, predominantly driven by increased stock-based compensation expense.

Interest expense, net, increased to $62.9 for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $53.2 for the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to a higher weighted-average fixed-rate debt balance and interest rate, partially offset by a lower weighted-average revolving credit facility balance.

Equity investments (gain) loss, net, was a loss of $44.4 in the first quarter of 2025 due primarily to a $44.1 decrease in the fair value of our equity investment in Indicor. Equity investments (gain) loss, net, was a gain of $57.0 in the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to a $64.4 increase in the fair value of our equity investment in Indicor, partially offset by our proportionate share of net loss associated with the investment in Certinia of $7.6 in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Changes in the fair value of our Indicor investment are primarily due to fluctuations in the equity values of comparable guideline public companies.

Income taxes as a percentage of pretax earnings decreased to 20.8% for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 21.1% for the first quarter of 2024. The 2025 rate was favorably impacted by increased stock-based compensation tax benefits.

Backlog is equal to our remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months as discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Backlog increased 3.5% to $3,033.8 at March 31, 2025 as compared to $2,932.4 at March 31, 2024 due primarily to organic growth in our Application Software and Network Software segments as well as acquisitions in our Application Software segment, partially offset by a decrease in our Technology Enabled Products segment associated with the normalization of supply chain ordering patterns.


	Backlog as of March 31,
	2025		2024
Application Software	$	2,174.1	$	1,961.5
Network Software	548.5		491.9
Technology Enabled Products	311.2		479.0
Total	$	3,033.8	$	2,932.4

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

All currency amounts are in millions

Selected cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Three months ended March 31,
Cash provided by (used in):	2025		2024
Operating activities	$	528.7	$	531.5
Investing activities	$	(146.8)	$	(1,878.6)
Financing activities	$	(207.8)	$	1,336.9

Operating activities – Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by 1% to $528.7 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $531.5 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to the cash payment of $24.0 related to settled litigation, payments associated with incentive compensation, and higher cash taxes paid, partially offset by higher net earnings net of non-cash expenses.

Investing activities – Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily for the acquisition of Muni-Link. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily for the acquisition of Procare.

Financing activities – Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily for net repayments on our unsecured revolving credit facility and dividend payments. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily from net borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of Procare, partially offset by dividend payments.

Total debt consisted of the following:


	As of March 31, 2025
Fixed-rate senior notes	$	7,500.0

Other	0.2
Less: Deferred financing costs	(43.8)
Total debt, net of deferred financing costs	7,456.4
Less: Current portion, net of deferred financing costs	(999.4)
Long-term debt, net of deferred financing costs	$	6,457.0

The interest rate on borrowings under the $3,500.0 unsecured revolving credit facility is calculated based upon various recognized indices plus a margin as defined in the credit agreement. At March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility and $6.8 of outstanding letters of credit. Subsequently, our acquisition of CentralReach on April 23, 2025 was funded using borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

In relation to our total cash and cash equivalents, amounts held at our foreign subsidiaries represented 51.5% or $191.9 at March 31, 2025 as compared to 69.5% or $130.8 at December 31, 2024. The increase in foreign cash was due primarily to the cash generated at our foreign subsidiaries during the three months ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by cash repatriation of $10.0. We intend to repatriate substantially all historical and future earnings.

We expect existing cash balances, together with cash generated by our operations and amounts available under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants related to our unsecured credit facility throughout the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net working capital (total current assets, excluding cash, less total current liabilities, excluding debt) was negative $1,356.8 at March 31, 2025 as compared to negative $1,434.6 at December 31, 2024. The change in net working capital was primarily driven by the timing of payments associated with incentive compensation, the reduction in deferred revenue predominantly due to the timing of SaaS renewals associated with Frontline, the payment for settled litigation, and payment timing associated with prepaid expenses, partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable and a decrease in accounts receivable. Total debt, net of deferred financing costs was $7,456.4 at March 31, 2025 as compared to $7,623.0 at December 31, 2024. Our leverage is presented in the following table:


	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Total debt, net of deferred financing costs	$	7,456.4		$	7,623.0
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	(372.8)			(188.2)
Net debt	7,083.6			7,434.8
Stockholders’ equity	19,223.6			18,867.6
Total net capital	$	26,307.2		$	26,302.4

Net debt / Total net capital	26.9		%	28.3		%

Capital expenditures were $9.5 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $9.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Capitalized software expenditures were $12.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $9.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We expect the aggregate of capital expenditures and capitalized software expenditures for 2025 to be comparable to prior years as a percentage of net revenues.
