DOVER REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 RESULTS AND UPDATES FULL YEAR GUIDANCE

• | Reports quarterly revenue of $1.6 billion, a decrease of 5% from the prior year

• | Delivers quarterly diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.64, including $0.05 of discrete tax benefits and a $0.07 gain on a disposition

• | Updates full year 2016 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to now be in the range of $3.51 to $3.66, including discrete tax benefits and the gain on a disposition, and also including restructuring costs of $0.18

Downers Grove, Illinois, April 21, 2016 — Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, revenue was $1.6 billion, a decrease of 5% from the prior year. Organic revenue declined 7% and foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact of 1%. Acquisition revenue, net of dispositions, provided 3% growth in the quarter. Earnings from continuing operations were $99.4 million, a decrease of 15% as compared to $117.2 million for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $0.64, compared to $0.72 EPS in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 11%. EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 included discrete tax benefits of $0.05 and a gain on a disposition of $0.07. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.52, a decrease of 28% over a comparative EPS of $0.72 in the prior year period. EPS for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 includes restructuring costs of $0.07 EPS and $0.10 EPS, respectively.
Robert A. Livingston, Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results were well below our initial expectations, driven by significant further reductions in activity and capital spending within our US oil & gas related end-markets. These conditions primarily impacted our Energy results, and to a lesser extent our Fluids results. The markets served by Engineered Systems and Refrigeration & Food Equipment remained solid, resulting in organic growth of 3% in each segment.
“In response to these historically weak oil & gas markets, we have lowered our full year revenue growth expectations for our Energy and Fluids segments, resulting in reduced EPS guidance for the full year. We have also increased our restructuring activities, and expect full year restructuring costs to be approximately $40 million, an increase of $20 million over our prior forecast. Substantially all of these actions and costs will occur by the end of the second quarter.
“In all, we expect full year revenue to decline 2% to 5%, a three point reduction from our previous forecast. Within this forecast, organic revenue is anticipated to decline 5% to 8%, four points below our prior expectations. Acquisition revenue, net of dispositions, is unchanged and will provide approximately 4% growth, while FX has been reduced a point and is now expected to be a 1%

headwind. In total, full year EPS is expected to be in the range of $3.51 to $3.66, as compared to the prior forecast of $3.85 to $4.05. This updated range includes approximately $0.18 of restructuring charges, and also includes $0.05 of discrete tax benefits and a $0.07 gain on a disposition.”
Net earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, were $99.4 million, or $0.64 EPS, compared to net earnings of $209.5 million, or $1.28 EPS, for the same period of 2015, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $92.3 million, or $0.57 EPS.
Dover will host a webcast of its first quarter 2016 conference call at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time (9:00 A.M. Central Time) on Thursday, April 21, 2016.
