DOVER REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012 RESULTS; REAFFIRMS 2013 GUIDANCE

Reports quarterly revenue of $2.0 billion, an increase of 6% over the prior year
Delivers quarterly diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.16, an increase of 10% over last year
Achieves adjusted quarterly diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.09, excluding tax benefits of $0.07, up 7% from an adjusted prior year
Reaffirms 2013 full year revenue growth of 7% to 9% and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $5.05 to $5.35

Downers Grove, Illinois, January 24, 2013 — Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, revenue was $2.0 billion, an increase of 6% over the prior year period. The revenue increase was driven by organic growth of 2% and a 5% increase from acquisitions, offset in part by a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign exchange. Earnings from continuing operations were $208.2 million, or $1.16 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), compared to $197.3 million, or $1.05 EPS, in the prior year period, representing increases in earnings from continuing operations and EPS of 6% and 10%, respectively. Excluding the impact of tax benefits of $0.07 EPS recognized in the current quarter and $0.03 EPS recognized in the prior year period, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.09, reflecting an increase of 7% over an adjusted EPS of $1.02 in the prior year period.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $8.1 billion, an increase of 10% over the prior year, reflecting organic growth of 5%, a 6% increase from acquisitions and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign exchange. Earnings from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $833.1 million, or $4.53 EPS, compared to $773.2 million, or $4.09 EPS in the prior year period, representing an increase in earnings from continuing operations of 8% and an increase in EPS of 11%. Excluding the impact of tax benefits of $0.09 EPS in the current year and $0.22 EPS in the prior year, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $4.44, an increase of 15% over an adjusted EPS of $3.87 in the prior year.

Commenting on the fourth quarter results, Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Livingston, said, “I am pleased with our fourth quarter results as all our segments recorded organic growth, and the majority of our end-markets continued to show strength in orders, despite uncertain economic conditions. Within Communication Technologies, we saw the continuation of a strong smart phone market and we achieved improved sequential performance at Sound Solutions. Our Energy segment demonstrated its resiliency by posting modest organic growth despite a lower North American rig count. Engineered Systems continued to see a very active refrigeration and food equipment market, while Printing & Identification's fast moving consumer goods market continued to expand. We also closed several acquisitions in the quarter, most notably





Anthony, which will strengthen our refrigeration product offering and expand our markets and channels.”

“For the year, we generated nearly $1 billion in free cash flow, supported by strong cash conversion in the fourth quarter. Our solid cash flow is a key element in the continued execution of our capital allocation strategy. Specifically, we made significant internal and acquisition investments in our five key growth spaces, we returned cash in the form of expanded dividends and began execution on our $1 billion share repurchase program announced in November.”

“Looking ahead, our full year view of 2013 is unchanged from our December 10, 2012 investor day guidance. We expect full year organic growth of 3% to 5% complemented by acquisition growth of 4%, resulting in revenue growth of 7% to 9%. The benefits of leverage on volume coupled with a lower share count from our repurchase program will help us deliver solid earnings growth. Accordingly, we are reaffirming full year diluted EPS from continuing operations in the range of $5.05 - $5.35.”

Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $159.9 million or $0.89 EPS, including a net loss from discontinued operations of $48.4 million, or $0.27 EPS, compared to net earnings of $278.3 million, or $1.49 EPS, for the same period of 2011, which included net income from discontinued operations of $81.0 million, or $0.43 EPS. As previously announced, two non-core businesses serving the electronic assembly and test markets were reclassified to discontinued operations during the fourth quarter, with the intent to divest these businesses in 2013. In connection with the plan to divest, a goodwill impairment charge of $51.9 million, net of tax, or $0.29 EPS was recognized, which is reflected within discontinued operations in the fourth quarter and full year periods. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $811.1 million, or $4.41 EPS, including a net loss from discontinued operations of $22.0 million, or $0.12 EPS, compared to net earnings of $895.2 million, or $4.74 EPS for the same period of 2011, which included net income from discontinued operations of $122.1 million or $0.65 EPS.

Dover will host a webcast of its fourth quarter 2012 conference call at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time (9:00 A.M. Central Time) on Thursday, January 24, 2013. 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012

Acquisitions

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company completed four acquisitions, three in the Engineered Systems segment and one in the Energy segment. The fourth quarter acquisitions were largely funded with commercial paper borrowings. For the full year 2012, Dover made a total of seven acquisitions for consideration totaling $1.2 billion. This included the Engineered Systems' acquisitions of Maag Pump Systems in the first quarter and Anthony International in the fourth quarter.

Discontinued Operations

The Company did not dispose of any businesses in 2012. However, in the fourth quarter, the Company announced its intent to divest Everett Charles Technologies and DEK, two non-core businesses serving the electronic assembly and test markets. The results of operations and cash flows of these businesses have been reclassified to discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of these businesses have been segregated within assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $63.8 million ($51.9 million, net of tax) in connection with the intended divestiture. As a result, for the fourth quarter and full year periods of 2012, the Company generated net after-tax losses from discontinued operations of $0.27 diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and $0.12 EPS, respectively, reflecting the earnings from discontinued operations, offset by the fourth quarter goodwill impairment charge.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 23.5% for the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011. On a full year basis, the effective tax rates on continuing operations for 2012 and 2011 were 26.8% and 23.5%, respectively. The 2012 and 2011 rates were favorably impacted by discrete and other items, as shown in the reconciliation for quarterly earnings per share included herein. After adjusting for discrete and other items, the fourth quarter effective tax rates were 28.5% and 25.4% for 2012 for 2011, respectively, and the full year rates were 28.2% and 27.5% for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The higher rates for the quarter and full year of 2012 reflect the impact of a higher proportion of U.S. earnings, partly offset by lower effective tax rates in foreign jurisdictions.

The full year increase in 2012 free cash flow reflects higher earnings from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization and a $129 million positive change in working capital year-over-year, offset in part by higher capital expenditures in 2012 necessary to fund expansion in the Company’s high-growth businesses.

Share Repurchases

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company purchased approximately 12.3 million shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $60.36 per share.
