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.

ReElement Technologies Corporation Receives $150 Million Letter of Interest from United States EXIM Bank to Advance the Nation's Largest Critical Mineral Refinery
Marion Advanced Technology Center positioned to become the largest multi-mineral, multi-feedstock rare earth and critical mineral refinery in the United States EXIM's support of the proposed capital funding plan for the Marion Advanced Technology Center advances the "Make More In America" initiative amid rising competition from China in critical mineral supply chains FISHERS, IN / / June 9, 2025 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources"), through its holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement" or "RTC"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining, announced today that it has received support for the proposed capital funding plan by ReElement Technologies Corporation for the Marion Advanced Technology through a Letter of Interest (LOI) from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for up to $150 million in financing. This financing will support the expansion of ReElement's state-of the-art rare earth, critical mineral and defense mineral refining project that is set to become the nation's largest multi-mineral, multi-feedstock rare earth and critical mineral refinery. The Marion facility builds on ReElement's successful commercial operations in its Noblesville, Indiana facility supplying highly refined critical mineral products to both the commercial and defense markets. ReElement's Advanced Separation Platform Aligned with National Mandate for Mineral Independence ReElement Technologies' rare earth element (REE) separation process - based on its patented and proprietary chromatography-based refining methods - represents a transformative leap forward in strengthening the U.S. industrial base for critical minerals. This innovative platform directly supports Presidential Executive Orders focused on restoring mineral independence and securing national supply chains. ReElement's process consistently produces ultra-high-purity (99.5%+) rare earth oxides and compounds such as neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, gallium, antimony, samarium, yttrium, gadolinium, and others - key materials required for metallization, magnet production, and advanced technologies across defense and commercial applications. Mark Jensen, CEO of ReElement Technologies commented, "We're honored to receive positive support from the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Our team has worked tirelessly to validate our next-generation refining platform and strategically scale production to meet the growing needs of both commercial and defense sectors. From day one, our vision has been clear: the U.S. must regain control of the midstream segment of the critical mineral supply chain if we are to compete globally. Support from the federal government significantly accelerates the buildout of additional refining capacity at our 42-acre Marion campus and beyond. We are laser-focused on scaling up production of refined rare earth oxides and defense-grade mineral compounds that are urgently needed here at home. As we see it, ReElement is among the only - if not the only - commercial entity in the United States capable of producing these materials at quantities and cost structures that rival or even undercut the Chinese industrial base. We're excited to expand our footprint domestically and internationally, delivering long-term supply chain resilience and a diversified source of critical and rare earth elements." Federal Support Aligned with New Executive Action on U.S. Mineral Production The issuance of this Letter of Interest aligns with the March 20, 2025, Executive Order titled "Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production". The order directs federal agencies, including EXIM, to streamline permitting, unlock financing, and establish offtake agreements for U.S.-based critical mineral processing facilities. It also sets near-term mandates for fast-tracking approvals, mobilizing capital, and stockpiling strategic materials vital to national defense, clean energy, and next-generation technology infrastructure. ReElement's Technological Edge: Chromatographic Separation and Purification ReElement employs continuous chromatography, a breakthrough in rare earth separation and purification that delivers: Aqueous Chemistry - Eliminates the need for toxic and hazardous organic solvents, making the process safer and more environmentally friendly. Lower Capital Expenditures - A few chromatography units can replace hundreds or even thousands of mixer-settlers to achieve the same throughput and product requirements. High Versatility - An intrinsic-parameter-based design and predictive simulation tools allow for rapid, adaptable refining across various feedstocks and production scales. Modular and Scalable Capacity - Easily expands processing volumes in alignment with growing feedstock availability. Localized Processing - Reduces the need for raw ore transportation across the globe, strengthening supply chain security and efficiency. ReElement's refining platform - originally developed by Purdue University for pharmaceutical purification - has been reengineered to separate rare earths and critical minerals with exceptional efficiency, scalability, and purity. Their patented, programmable platform handles multiple feedstocks and minerals, enabling rapid modular deployment across locations and resource types. Unlike legacy solvent extraction methods, it uses far fewer chemicals, requires less space, and generates minimal waste - making it faster to permit and simpler to co-locate near feedstock or end-use customers. This breakthrough eliminates a major chokepoint in global critical mineral supply chains, which has been dominated by single-source processing, no longer tenable as the U.S. must forge critical mineral supply chain independence, both through refining in the U.S. and in partnership with allies abroad. About ReElement Technologies Corporation ReElement Technologies Corporation is a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth and critical battery elements. Its multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology focuses on the refining of recycled material from rare earth permanent magnets and lithium-ion batteries, concentrated ores and brines, as well as coal-based waste streams and byproducts to create a cost effective and environmentally-safe, circular supply chain. ReElement has developed its innovative and scalable "Powered by ReElement" process which collaboratively utilizes its exclusively licensed intellectual property within its partners' material processing flow sheets to more efficiently support the global supply chain's growing demand for magnet and battery-grade products. For more information visit or connect with the Company on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. About American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) American Resources Corporation is a leader in the critical mineral supply chain, developing innovative solutions both upstream and downstream of the refining process. The company and its affiliates focus on the extraction and processing of metallurgical carbon and iron ore, essential ingredients in steelmaking, as well as critical and rare earth minerals for the electrification market and recycled metals. Leveraging its affiliation and former parent status of ReElement Technologies Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth and critical battery elements, American Resources is investing in and developing efficient upstream and downstream critical mineral operations. These operations include mining interests in conventional and unconventional sources, recycling, and manufacturing. American Resources has established a nimble, low-cost business model centered on growth, which provides a significant opportunity to scale its portfolio of assets to meet the growing global infrastructure and electrification markets while also continuing to acquire operations and significantly reduce their legacy industry risks. Its streamlined and efficient operations are able to maximize margins while reducing costs. For more information visit or connect with the Company on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

PS&S Sponsors Drinking Water Project in Nicaraguan Village
Firm Helps Non-Profit, 'Green Empowerment,' Construct a Micro Utility; 100 Families to Get Safe Drinking Water in El Paraisito WARREN, N.J., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Approximately 300 residents of a small farming community in Nicaragua will soon have access to clean, safe drinking water thanks to PS&S' sponsorship of non-profit organization, Green Empowerment's, construction of a micro-utility. El Paraisito, located in the municipality of Pueblo Nuevo, Estelí, is within Nicaragua's dry corridor, a region highly vulnerable to water scarcity. Currently, the residents of El Paraisito rely on community wells which are located far from homes, lack proper protection, and receive little to no maintenance. This creates risks to community health and well-being as well as demands hours of work each day for women and children to collect water. 'Green Empowerment asked if we could help the citizens of El Paraisito and we said 'yes,'' said PS&S President and CEO, John Sartor. 'As an architecture and engineering firm, we understand water utilities and, while we are not responsible for design and construction, PS&S has lent financial assistance.' In partnership with FEDICAMP, an association of 'campesino' (small farmer) community groups dedicated to increasing economic opportunities & living conditions in rural Nicaragua, the Green Empowerment team is constructing a community-wide water system that will utilize electric pumping, gravity-fed distribution, filtration and chlorination. The system will feature a machine-drilled well, a pipeline network connecting to a storage tank, a water treatment system, a two-mile distribution network, and metered household connections, bringing clean potable water to every household in the community. 'Working with an engineering firm like PS&S, who really gets both the technical side of things and the heart of our mission, is a win-win for us and for the people of El Paraisito,' said Green Empowerment Executive Director, Andrea Johnson. 'Partnerships like this really matter. Small and mid-size firms can support a project from start to finish.' Johnson noted that the project includes comprehensive training on system maintenance and management. Community members will help build the infrastructure, elect a water committee, and vote on a monthly water tariff, setting them up to successfully manage the system for years to come. 'This important project is a way for us to help a good cause in a country that has connections to our area with sizable Nicaraguan American communities in Hudson, Bergen and Passaic counties as well as many other parts of the Tri-state area,' concluded Sartor. According to census data, the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York Marketing Statistical Area (MSA) has the fourth largest Nicaraguan American population in the United States after Florida, California and Texas. About PS&S Founded in 1962, PS&S has evolved into a unique best-in-class architecture, engineering, surveying, and environmental consulting firm, providing design and consultation services to a wide range of public, corporate, institutional and commercial clients. PS&S is ranked among the top national design firms by Engineering News Record (and among the top 15 national engineering firms in pharmaceuticals). Recognized both for its breadth of services and depth of expertise, PS&S is the single source for planning, permitting and design at the local, State and Federal levels.
