Operator : Good morning. The Roper Technologies Conference Call will now begin. Today's call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Zack Moxcey, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Zack Moxcey : Good morning, and thank you all for joining us as we discuss the second quarter financial results for Roper Technologies. Joining me on the call this morning are Neil Hunn, President and Chief Executive Officer; Jason Conley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Brandon Cross, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer; and Shannon O'Callaghan, Senior Vice President of Finance. Earlier this morning, we issued a press release announcing our financial results. The press release also includes replay information for today's call. We prepared slides to accompany today's call, which are available through the webcast and are also available on our website. Now if you please turn to Page 2. We begin with our safe harbor statement. During the course of today's call, we will make forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties as described on this page, in our press release and in our SEC filings. You should listen to today's call in the context of that information. And now please turn to Page 3. Today, we will discuss our results primarily on an adjusted non-GAAP basis. For the second quarter, the difference between our GAAP results and adjusted results consists of the following items: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, financial impacts associated with our minority investment in Incore. And lastly, cash collected on Outgo's beneficial interest, which is the residual amount owed to Outgo after it sells receivables to a third party and is classified within cash flows from investing activity. Reconciliations can be found in our press release and in the appendix of our presentation on our website. And now if you please turn to Page 4, I'll hand the call over to Neil. After our prepared remarks, we will take questions from our telephone participants. Neil?

As we turn to Page 5, I want to highlight 3 takeaways for today's call. First, we delivered solid results and are raising our outlook for the year. Second, AI momentum continues to build across the enterprise at an accelerating pace. And third, we continue to execute our capital allocation opportunities with our long-standing discipline. Let me double-click each point. First, second quarter results were solid and ahead of expectations. Total revenue grew 9%, organic revenue grew 5%, EBITDA grew 5%, and free cash flow grew 11%. Importantly, enterprise gross retention remained strong consistently in the mid-90s. On that foundation, enterprise software bookings remained solid with core bookings up mid-single digit plus on a TTM basis. At a high level …
