2014 Acquisitions – During the year ended December 31, 2014, Roper completed three business combinations.  The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Roper's consolidated results since the date of each acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on Roper's consolidated results of operations individually or in aggregate.

Roper acquired 100% of the shares of Foodlink Holdings, Inc. ("Foodlink"), Innovative Product Achievements, LLC ("IPA") and Strategic Healthcare Programs Holdings, LLC ("SHP") on July 2, August 5, and August 14, 2014, respectively.  The aggregate purchase price was $303 million, paid in cash.  Roper purchased the businesses to expand upon existing supply chain and medical platforms. SHP and IPA are reported in the Medical & Scientific Imaging segment, and Foodlink is reported in the RF Technology segment.

The Company expensed transaction costs of $2.8 million related to the acquisitions as corporate general and administrative expenses, as incurred.

The Company recorded $208 million in goodwill and $99 million in other identifiable intangibles in connection with the acquisitions; however, purchase price allocations are preliminary pending final intangibles valuations and tax-related adjustments.  The majority of the goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Of the $99 million of intangible assets acquired, $7 million was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $92 million of acquired intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of 17 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $82 million (19 year weighted-average useful life), unpatented technology of $7 million (6 year weighted-average useful life), software of $2 million (4 year weighted-average useful life) and backlog of $1 million (1 year weighted-average useful life).

2013 Acquisitions – During the year ended December 31, 2013, Roper completed two business combinations.  The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Roper's consolidated results since the date of each acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on Roper's consolidated results of operations individually or in aggregate.

On May 1, 2013, Roper acquired 100% of the shares of Managed Health Care Associates, Inc. ("MHA"), in a $1.0 billion all-cash transaction.  MHA is a leading provider of services and technologies to support the diverse and complex needs of alternate site health care providers who deliver services outside of an acute care hospital setting. The acquisition of MHA complements and expands the Company's medical software and services platform.   MHA is reported in the Medical & Scientific Imaging segment.

The fair value of current assets acquired also includes an adjustment of $35.0 million for administrative fees related to customer purchases that occurred prior to the acquisition date but not reported to MHA until after the acquisition date. In the ordinary course, these administrative fees are recorded as revenue when reported; however, GAAP accounting for business acquisitions requires the Company to estimate the amount of purchases occurring prior to the acquisition date and record the fair value of the administrative fees to be received from those purchases as an accounts receivable at the date of acquisition. The Company also recorded a fair value liability of $8.6 million included in current liabilities related to corresponding revenue-share obligation owed to customers that generated the administrative fees.  Both of these fair value adjustments were fully amortized as of September 30, 2013.

On October 4, 2013, the Company paid $54 million in cash to acquire 100% of the shares of Advanced Sensors, Ltd. ("Advanced Sensors"), a company which manufactures and supports oil-in-water analyzers for the oil and gas industries, in order to expand the Company's product line.  Advanced Sensors is reported in the Energy Systems and Controls segment.  The Company recorded $28 million in goodwill and $28 million of other identifiable intangibles in connection with the acquisition.

The majority of the goodwill related to the 2013 acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Of the $493 million of intangible assets acquired in 2013, $28 million was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $465 million of acquired intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately 19 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $451 million (20 year weighted-average useful life), technology of $12 million (7 year weighted-average useful life), and $2 million of protective rights in the form of non-compete agreements (5 year weighted-average useful life).

The Company expensed transaction costs of $3.3 million related to the acquisitions as corporate general and administrative expenses, as incurred.

2012 Acquisitions – During the year ended December 31, 2012, Roper completed six business combinations.  The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in Roper's consolidated results since the date of each acquisition.

The largest of the 2012 acquisitions was Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. ("Sunquest"), a leading provider of diagnostic and laboratory software solutions to healthcare providers. Roper acquired 100% of the shares of Sunquest on August 22, 2012, in a $1.4 billion all-cash transaction. The Company acquired Sunquest to complement and expand its medical platform.  Sunquest is reported in the Medical & Scientific Imaging segment.

The Company expensed transaction costs of $6.7 million related to the acquisition as corporate general and administrative expenses, as incurred.

The majority of the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Of the $669 million of acquired intangible assets acquired, $98 million was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $571 million of acquired intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of 18 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $460 million (20 year weighted-average useful life) and software of $111 million (12 year weighted-average useful life).

Roper's results for the year ended December 31, 2012 included results from Sunquest between August 22, 2012 and December 31, 2012.  In that period, Sunquest contributed $69.4 million in revenue and $8.8 million of earnings (inclusive of deal-related costs) to Roper's results.  The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information as if the acquisition of Sunquest had occurred on January 1, 2011 (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

During the year ended December 31, 2012, Roper completed five other acquisitions which were immaterial.  The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions totaled $62 million of cash.  The Company recorded $43 million in other identifiable intangibles and $16 million in goodwill in connection with these acquisitions.  The Company expensed transaction costs of $1 million related to these acquisitions as corporate general and administrative expenses, as incurred. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on Roper's consolidated results of operations individually or in aggregate.

The majority of the goodwill recorded for these five companies is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.  Of the $43 million of intangible assets acquired, $1 million was assigned to trade names that are not subject to amortization. The remaining $42 million of acquired intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of 7 years. The intangible assets that make up that amount include customer relationships of $17 million (7 year weighted-average useful life), protective rights and patents of $16 million (7 year weighted-average useful life) and unpatented technology of $8 million (8 year weighted-average useful life).
