Roper Technologies to acquire CentralReach
Leading provider of SaaS solutions for Applied Behavior Analysis therapy
SARASOTA, Fla., March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roper Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROP) today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire CentralReach from Insight Partners for a net purchase price of approximately $1.65 billion, including a $200 million tax benefit resulting from the transaction. Roper expects CentralReach to deliver sustainable 20%+ organic revenue and EBITDA growth.
CentralReach is a leading provider of cloud-native software enabling the workflow and administration of Applied Behavior Analysis ('ABA') therapy. Over 200,000 professionals utilize CentralReach's purpose-built solutions to help provide care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder ('ASD') and related intellectual and developmental disabilities ('IDD'). ABA therapy providers rely on CentralReach's comprehensive electronic medical records platform as their mission critical operating system, which includes highly specialized tools for client set-up, practice management, claims processing, care scheduling, clinical data collection, and service delivery, along with several AI-powered add-on modules.
'CentralReach is a fantastic business with clear niche market leadership, mission critical and high ROI solutions, a high recurring revenue mix, and outstanding customer retention, which leads to strong organic revenue growth and excellent cash conversion,' said Neil Hunn, Roper's President and CEO. 'This acquisition is another example of Roper identifying a business that provides greater value creation for our shareholders. CentralReach meets each of our long-standing acquisition criteria, while also having a structurally faster organic growth profile and the ability to expand margins under Roper's long-term ownership. We are excited to welcome the CentralReach team to the Roper family and look forward to partnering with the team to execute their strategy.'
Acquisition financial outlook and financing
CentralReach is expected to contribute approximately $175 million of revenue and $75 million of EBITDA for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026, and will be reported in Roper's Application Software segment. Roper expects CentralReach to deliver sustainable 20%+ organic revenue and EBITDA growth.
The transaction is expected to close in April/May 2025, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, and will be funded using Roper's revolving credit facility. Additional information about CentralReach is available in the Investors section of Roper's website (www.ropertech.com).Roper supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with certain non-GAAP financial information, including EBITDA, to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Roper defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Roper has not provided a reconciliation of the expected EBITDA contribution by CentralReach to the expected net income contribution by CentralReach for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026 because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in CentralReach's contribution to net income without unreasonable efforts. In addition, Roper believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The non-GAAP financial measure disclosed by Roper in this press release should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

About Galectin Therapeutics Galectin Therapeutics is dedicated to developing novel therapies to improve the lives of patients with chronic liver disease and cancer. Galectin's lead drug belapectin is a carbohydrate-based drug that inhibits the galectin-3 protein, which is directly involved in multiple inflammatory, fibrotic, and malignant diseases, for which it has Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The lead development program is in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH, formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH) with cirrhosis, the most advanced form of MASH-related fibrosis. Liver cirrhosis is one of the most pressing medical needs and a significant drug development opportunity. Additional development programs are in treatment of combination immunotherapy for advanced head and neck cancers and other malignancies. Advancement of these additional clinical programs is largely dependent on finding a suitable partner. Galectin seeks to leverage extensive scientific and development expertise as well as established relationships with external sources to achieve cost-effective and efficient development.

Factors that could cause actual performance to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, among others, full analysis of the NAVIGATE trial data may not product positive data; Galectin may not be successful in developing effective treatments and/or obtaining the requisite approvals for the use of belapectin or any of its other drugs in development; the Company may not be successful in scaling up manufacturing and meeting requirements related to chemistry, manufacturing and control matters; the Company's current clinical trial and any future clinical studies may not produce positive results in a timely fashion, if at all, and could require larger and longer trials, which would be time consuming and costly; plans regarding development, approval and marketing of any of Galectin's drugs are subject to change at any time based on the changing needs of the Company as determined by management and regulatory agencies; regardless of the results of any of its development programs, Galectin may be unsuccessful in developing partnerships with other companies or raising additional capital that would allow it to further develop and/or fund any studies or trials. Galectin has incurred operating losses since inception, and its ability to successfully develop and market drugs may be impacted by its ability to manage costs and finance continuing operations. For a discussion of additional factors impacting Galectin's business, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent filings with the SEC.

Intel's New Leader Tan Charts Path to Reclaim Chip Dominance
June 9 - Lip-Bu Tan took the helm at Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) this year, bringing a reputation for turnaround success from his 20092021 tenure at Cadence Design Systems (CDNS). When Tan became CEO of Cadence, its shares traded near $5.50. By the time he stepped down, the stock hovered around $186, up roughly 3,200%. That feat suggests his playbook might resonate at Intel, where shares currently trade near $20. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with INTC. Tan has already moved to trim headcount, flatten bureaucracy and refocus on core engineering strengths. He's said Intel must shed non-core assets and sharpen its customer focus, steps likely to improve operating metrics over time. On the AI front, Tan has launched initiatives for AI-optimized hardware and software, backed by new Chief Technology and AI Officer Sachin Katti. Longer term, Intel's existing efforts in quantum computing, like its 12-qubit Tunnel Falls chip, may benefit as larger players such as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) seek reliable foundry partners. Intel also stands to gain from U.S. onshoring trends under the current administration. Meanwhile, the emerging humanoid robot market, projected by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) to reach $38 billion by 2035, could offer additional upside if Intel's processors and RealSense depth cameras become standard brains for new robotic systems. Tan's challenge is steep, but his track record suggests Intel may find a path back toward growth and greater investor confidence. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
