Roper Industries Buys Sunquest for $1.4B, Reports 8% Leap in 2Q Profit<\/span>
<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>

After reporting stronger year-over-year quarterly earnings, Roper Industries (ROP<\/a>: 99.45, -0.19, -0.19%) said it is buying privately-held diagnostic and laboratory software maker Sunquest Information Systems for $1.4 billion in cash.<\/span><\/p>

The Sarasota, Fla.-based medical and scientific imaging software developer said the acquisition of Tucson, Okla.-based Sunquest, a leader in labs software, will help its medical software platforms benefit from an aging population and expansion of anatomic pathology.<\/span><\/p>

\"We continue to transform the enterprise with the addition of Sunquest,\" Roper CEO Brian Jellison said in a statement. “We expect Sunquest to benefit in all economic environments from very favorable market forces.”<\/span><\/p>

Sunquest and its products will continue to operate under current brand names. The deal, subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close within 30 days.<\/span><\/p>

Roper, meanwhile, reported on Monday net earnings of $115 million, or $1.15 a share, up 8% from a year ago. Revenue climbed 4% to $725 million, led by an 8% increase in orders to $763 million.<\/span><\/p>

Analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll were looking for earnings of $1.15 a share on higher sales of $747 million.<\/span><\/p>

\"We achieved record second quarter revenue and earnings, as our businesses continued to execute well in the current uncertain economic environment,” Jellison said.<\/span><\/p>

Shares of Roper ticked 7% higher Monday to a new all-time high<\/span><\/p>
