- Acquisitions like Procare Solutions and Transact Campus, integrated in 2024, strengthened the segment with cloud-based software for education markets, boosting both revenue growth and recurring streams. The April 2025 acquisition of CentralReach, providing software for autism care, is expected to contribute $175 million in revenue and $75 million in EBITDA by Q2 2026, driven by over 20% organic growth.

- The Technology Enabled Products segment grew 10% year-over-year to $463.3 million, driven by demand in water, energy, and transportation markets. Acquisitions like Syntellis Performance Solutions and organic growth from process-driven innovation contributed to this success.
- ROP's AI capabilities are a major growth driver, enhancing its software and technology-enabled product offerings. AI is integrated into products like Aderant's legal software and CentralReach's autism care platform, contributing to high retention rates and a recurring revenue base exceeding 85% in vertical software businesses.
- The Subsplash acquisition, closing in July 2025, will further boost ROP's AI-driven growth by integrating Subsplash's tools, enhancing engagement for over 20,000 faith-based organizations.
With consecutive beat-and-raise performances in Q1 and Q2, ROP is thriving, driven by AI advancements and a disciplined M&A strategy. The company's ability to integrate high-growth acquisitions and leverage AI for a stronger recurring revenue base positions it for sustained value creation.
