Disposed Operations	4. Disposed Operations Management evaluates Dover's businesses periodically for their strategic fit within its operations and may from time to time sell or discontinue certain operations for various reasons. 2021 There were no dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2021. 2020 On March 6, 2020, the Company completed the sale of the Chino, California branch of The AMS Group ("AMS Chino"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company recognized total consideration of $16,850, which included a working capital adjustment. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $6,551 included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and within the Refrigeration & Food Equipment Segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The sale did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on operations and financial results and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation.
