DOVER REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2017 RESULTS AND RAISES FULL YEAR REVENUE AND EPS GUIDANCE

Reports quarterly revenue of $1.8 billion, an increase of 12% from the prior year
Delivers quarterly diluted net earnings per share of $1.09, including a $0.39 gain on disposition
Posts adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.70, excluding the gain on a disposition
Increases full year revenue growth forecast; now expected to be 11% to 13%
Raises 2017 full year diluted earnings per share guidance to now be in the range of $4.05 to $4.20, inclusive of the gain on a disposition

Downers Grove, Illinois, April 20, 2017 — Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, revenue was $1.8 billion, an increase of 12% from the prior year. The increase in the quarter was driven by acquisition growth of 12% and organic growth of 4%, partially offset by a 3% impact from dispositions and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange ("FX") of 1%. Net earnings were $172.2 million, an increase of 73% as compared to $99.4 million for the prior year period. Diluted net earnings per share ("EPS") for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, were $1.09, compared to $0.64 EPS in the prior year period, representing an increase of 70%. EPS for the first quarter of 2017 included a gain on a disposition of $0.39. EPS for the prior year period included a gain on a disposition of $0.07. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS for the first quarter of 2017 was $0.70, an increase of 25% from an adjusted EPS of $0.56 in the prior year period. EPS for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2016, include restructuring costs of $0.03 EPS and $0.07 EPS, respectively.

Dover’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Livingston, said, “I am very pleased with our first quarter business activity and results. The revenue growth of 12% was broad-based and bookings grew 21%, resulting in a strong book-to-bill of 1.12. Of particular note, organic revenue and bookings grew 4% and 12%, respectively.

“Among the highlights in the quarter was an acceleration in the recovery of our U.S. drilling and production market. At the same time, business activity was also very solid in our printing & identification, retail fueling, and retail refrigeration markets, as well as the majority of our other industrial markets. Strong growth and solid execution, along with an improved tax rate, resulted in adjusted EPS of $0.70.

“As a result of the solid first quarter performance, higher expectations in Energy, and overall strong bookings activity, we are raising our full year revenue and EPS guidance. We now expect full year diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.20, versus our prior guidance of $3.40 to $3.60. Our revised guidance includes the gain from our recent disposition. Further, this revised





guidance is based on full year revenue growth of 11% to 13% versus our prior forecast of 10% to 12%, and is comprised of organic growth of 4% to 6% and acquisition growth of approximately 10%, partially offset by a 2% impact from the dispositions and a 1% headwind from FX. Our revised revenue forecast is primarily driven by a one point increase in organic growth. The combined impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and FX is essentially unchanged from our prior forecast.”

Dover will host a webcast of its first quarter 2017 conference call at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time (9:00 A.M. Central Time) on Thursday, April 20, 2017. The webcast can be accessed on the Dover website at dovercorporation.com. The conference call will also be made available for replay on the website.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, Management also discloses non-GAAP information that Management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, free cash flow and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, diluted earnings per common share, cash flows from operating activities, or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted net earnings represents net earnings adjusted for gains on disposition of businesses and a product recall charge. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share represents adjusted net earnings divided by average diluted shares. Management believes this information is useful to investors to better understand the company’s ongoing profitability and facilitates easier comparisons of the company’s profitability to prior and future periods and to its peers. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.
