INVESTOR SUPPLEMENT
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2010
Acquisitions
During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company completed one add-on acquisition in the Fluid Management segment. During 2010, Dover made a total of six add-on acquisitions for consideration totaling $104.4 million, net of cash acquired. The full-year diluted earnings per share impact of these 2010 acquisitions was $0.02, with minimal impact during the quarter.
Further, during the fourth quarter, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Sound Solutions business of NXP Semiconductors. Sound Solutions is a leading manufacturer of speakers and receivers for the cell phone market and will become part of Knowles Electronics. The purchase price is $855 million, subject to customary regulatory approvals, and the deal is expected to close around the end of the first quarter of 2011.
Effective January 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Harbison-Fischer, Inc., a Texas-based leading designer and manufacturer of down-hole rod pumps and related products for $402.5 million, subject to normal closing adjustments. Harbison-Fischer’s 2011 revenue is expected to be approximately $160 million. The business will become part of Norris Production Solutions, which is an operating unit of Dover’s Fluid Management segment.
Dispositions
In 2010, the Company completed the sale of a line of business which was reported as a discontinued operation, resulting in a loss of approximately $14.0 million.
In addition, during the third and fourth quarters of 2010, the Company reached final settlement on certain discrete tax matters related to businesses previously discontinued and sold, which resulted in tax benefits of $4.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively. These items, along with other minor expense and accrual adjustments related to disposed businesses, drove a gain on discontinued operations of $6.6 million in the fourth quarter and a full year loss of $7.8 million.
Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 21.4%, compared to the prior year rate of 27.2%. The 2010 rate was favorably impacted by benefits recognized for tax positions that were effectively settled. On a full year basis, the effective tax rates for continuing operations for 2010 and 2009 were 23.5% and 24.4%, respectively. The full year rates for 2010 and 2009 reflect the favorable impact of benefits recognized for tax positions that were effectively settled, and the favorable impact of a higher percentage of non-U.S. earnings in low tax rate jurisdictions.

Cash Flow
The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) from cash flows from operating activities.
                                 
    Three Months Ended December 31,     Year Ended December 31,  
Free Cash Flow (in thousands)   2010     2009     2010     2009  
Cash flow provided by operating activities
  $ 431,439     $ 247,947     $ 950,551     $ 802,060  
Less: Capital expenditures
    (53,380 )     (36,759 )     (183,217 )     (120,009 )
 
                       
Free cash flow
  $ 378,059     $ 211,188     $ 767,334     $ 682,051  
 
                       
 
                               
Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue
    20.2 %     14.0 %     10.8 %     11.8 %
 
                       
 
                               
Free cash flow as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations
                    108.4 %     183.4 %
 
                           
The full year increase in free cash flow reflects higher earnings from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization. This was offset by an increase in Adjusted Working Capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable), which increased from the prior year end by $240.2 million, or 22% to $1,332.8 million which reflected an increase in receivables of $209.0 million, an increase in inventory of $143.2 million and an increase in accounts payable of $112.0 million. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of foreign exchange translation, Adjusted Working Capital would have increased by $226.1 million, or 21%. “Average Annual Adjusted Working Capital” as a percentage of revenue (a non-GAAP measure calculated as the five-quarter average balance of accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable divided by the trailing twelve months of revenue) decreased to 17.6% at December 31, 2010 from 19.9% at December 31, 2009 and inventory turns were 6.7 at December 31, 2010 compared to 6.2 at December 31, 2009.
Share Repurchases
During the year ended December 31, 2010, pursuant to a five-year 10,000,000 share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in May 2007, the Company purchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $51.13 per share. Approximately 6.6 million shares remain authorized for repurchase under this five-year authorization as of December 31, 2010.
Capitalization
The following table provides a summary reconciliation of total debt and net debt to total capitalization to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:
                 
    At December 31,     At December 31,  
Net Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio (in thousands)   2010     2009  
Current maturities of long-term debt
  $ 1,925     $ 35,624  
Commercial paper
    15,000        
Long-term debt
    1,790,886       1,825,260  
 
           
Total debt
    1,807,811       1,860,884  
Less: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
    (1,309,095 )     (938,174 )
 
           
Net debt
    498,716       922,710  
Add: Stockholders’ equity
    4,526,562       4,083,608  
 
           
Total capitalization
  $ 5,025,278     $ 5,006,318  
 
           
Net debt to total capitalization
    9.9 %     18.4 %
 
           
Net debt at December 31, 2010 decreased $424.0 million primarily as a result of cash generated from operations. The decrease in long-term debt is due to scheduled repayments, coupled with the early extinguishment of a structured non-interest bearing loan in the third quarter. The decrease in net debt to total capitalization reflects strong free cash flow from operations, which was used to fund capital additions, acquisitions and share repurchases.

NOTE:
Diluted earnings per share in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 and the second quarter of 2009 were favorably impacted by discrete tax events. The third quarter of 2010 was additionally impacted by the favorable resolution of a tax position in a foreign jurisdiction. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rates in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 and second quarter of 2009 were 14.8%, 21.4% and 1.1%, respectively, which were lower than the Company’s previously estimated tax rates of 29% for each of the respective periods. These lower effective tax rates contributed incremental diluted earnings per share of $0.20 and $0.07 in the third and fourth quarters of 2010, respectively, and $0.15 in the second quarter of 2009.
