DOVER REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

Reports quarterly revenue of $1.7 billion, a decrease of 5% from the prior year
Achieves quarterly diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.72, including restructuring charges of $0.10
Expects full year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $4.20 to $4.40

Downers Grove, Illinois, April 21, 2015 — Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, revenue was $1.7 billion, a decrease of 5% from the prior year. The decrease in revenue was driven by an organic revenue decline of 6% and a 4% unfavorable impact from foreign exchange, offset in part by 5% growth from acquisitions. Earnings from continuing operations were $117.2 million, a decrease of 31% as compared to $170.0 million for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $0.72, compared to $0.99 EPS in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 27%. Excluding discrete tax benefits recognized in the prior year period, EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 decreased 26% from an adjusted EPS of $0.97 in the prior year period.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Livingston, said, "Our businesses continued to perform well against the backdrop of significant headwinds in our energy-related markets, as well as the ongoing FX impact of the strengthening US dollar and slower than expected activity in our core refrigeration case and systems markets. To better align our costs with anticipated demand, we incurred $24 million in restructuring charges in the quarter, primarily in Energy. These restructuring actions were in addition to $37 million in charges incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect to pursue additional cost reduction actions as we move through the year."

“As we deal with these headwinds we will remain focused on growth investments, as well as investment in productivity initiatives, including supply chain optimization and shared infrastructure. I am confident the combination of these actions positions us well to continue our long-term track record of strong performance.”

"Looking forward, we are re-affirming our recently updated 2015 guidance. We expect full-year revenue to decline 4% to 6%. Within our revenue forecast, organic growth is anticipated to decline 2% to 4%, completed acquisitions will provide approximately 2% growth, and FX is expected to be a 4% headwind. In total, full year adjusted EPS is expected to be in the range of $4.20 to $4.40, inclusive of $0.15 to $0.18 of restructuring charges.

Net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, were $209.5 million, or $1.28 EPS, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $92.3 million, or $0.57 EPS, compared to net earnings of $160.1 million, or $0.93 EPS, for the same period of 2014, which included a loss from





discontinued operations of $9.9 million, or $0.06 EPS. First quarter 2015 earnings from discontinued operations included a gain of $87.4 million, or $0.53 EPS, resulting from the disposition of a business held for sale.

Dover will host a webcast of its first quarter 2015 conference call at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time (9:00 A.M. Central Time) on Tuesday, April 21, 2015. The webcast can be accessed on the Dover website at www.dovercorporation.com. The conference call will also be made available for replay on the website.
