Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K, especially "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be deemed, "forward-looking" statements. Some of these statements may be indicated by words such as "may", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "intend", "continue", "guidance", "estimates", "suggest", "will", "plan", "should", "would", "could", "forecast" and other words and terms that use the future tense or have a similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: general economic conditions and conditions in the particular markets in which we operate; supply chain constraints and labor shortages that could result in production stoppages, inflation in material input costs and freight logistics; the impacts of natural or human-induced disasters, acts of war, terrorism, international conflicts, and public health crises on the global economy and on our customers, suppliers, employees, business and cash flows; changes in customer demand and capital spending; competitive factors and pricing pressures; our ability to develop and launch new products in a cost-effective manner; changes in law, including the effect of tax laws and developments with respect to trade policy and tariffs; our ability to identify and complete acquisitions and integrate and realize synergies from newly acquired businesses; the impact of interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; capital allocation plans and changes in those plans, including with respect to dividends, share repurchases, investments in research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions; our ability to effectively deploy capital resulting from dispositions; our ability to derive expected benefits from restructurings, productivity initiatives and other cost reduction actions; the impact of legal compliance risks and litigation, including with respect to product quality and safety, cybersecurity and privacy; and our ability to capture and protect intellectual property rights, and various other factors that are described in our periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Management Philosophy
Dover is committed to delivering shareholder value creation through a combination of sustained profitable growth, operational excellence, superior free cash flow generation and productive capital re-deployment while adhering to a conservative financial policy. Dover seeks to be a leader in a diverse set of growing markets where customers are loyal to trusted partners and suppliers, and value product performance and differentiation driven by superior engineering, manufacturing precision, total solution development and excellent supply chain performance. Our businesses are long-time leaders in their respective markets and are known for their innovation, engineering capability and customer service excellence. We aim to continue growing our businesses from this strong foundation.
Our operating structure of five business segments allows for a differentiated acquisition focus consistent with our portfolio and capital allocation priorities. We believe our business segment structure, coupled with value-creating functional expertise at our lean corporate center, presents opportunities to identify and capture operating synergies, such as global sourcing and supply chain integration, centralized shared services, cross-pollination of manufacturing best practices, and further advances the development of our executive talent. Our executive management team sets strategic direction, initiatives and goals, develops effective incentive structures, provides oversight of strategy execution and achievement of these goals for our business segments, and with oversight from our Board of Directors, makes capital allocation decisions, including with respect to organic investment initiatives, major capital projects, acquisitions, divestitures, and the return of capital to our shareholders.
Our goal is to foster an operating culture with high ethical and performance standards that values accountability, rigor, trust, inclusion, respect and open communications, designed to allow individual growth and operational effectiveness. We are also increasing our focus on maintaining sustainable business practices that reduce environmental impact, and developing products that help our customers meet their sustainability goals.
Company Goals
We are committed to driving superior shareholder returns through three key tenets of our corporate strategy.
First, we are committed to achieving organic sales growth above that of gross domestic product (4% to 6% annually on average) over a long-term business cycle, absent prolonged adverse economic conditions, complemented by growth through strategic acquisitions.
Second, we continue to focus on improving returns on capital, as well as earnings margin, by enhancing our operational capabilities and making investments across the organization in growth capacity expansion, digital capabilities, automation, operations management, information technology ("IT"), shared services (including Dover Business Services and our India Innovation Center), and talent. We also focus on continuous, effective cost management and productivity initiatives, such as supply chain optimization, automation and productivity capital expenditures, e-commerce and digital go-to-market, restructuring, product complexity reduction, improved footprint utilization, strategic pricing and portfolio management.
Third, we aim to generate growth in free cash flow and earnings per share through strong earnings performance, productivity improvements and active working capital management, which is enhanced by opportunistic divestitures allowing for concentration on growing our core platforms. Dover prioritizes deploying free cash flow toward high-return and high-confidence organic reinvestments aimed at growing, improving and strengthening our businesses, as well as through inorganic investments that synergistically enhance the quality of our portfolio. Dover's value creation strategy is supported by a financial policy that includes a prudent approach to financial leverage, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation that allows for a balance between reinvestment and return of capital to shareholders through growing dividends and opportunistic share repurchases.
We support achievement of these goals by (1) aligning management compensation with strategic and financial objectives, (2) actively managing our portfolio to increase enterprise scale, improving business mix over time to markets with secular growth characteristics, and pursuing acquisitions that fit the characteristics of an ideal Dover business and (3) investing in talent development programs.

Characteristics of a Dover Business
For over 70 years, Dover has successfully and profitably operated a diversified portfolio of high-quality businesses serving a wide variety of industrial and business-to-business end markets with different business models. We believe this diversity is a strength of our portfolio, providing Dover with multiple avenues for organic and inorganic growth, lower cyclicality, and the ability to extract synergies of common ownership. While we expect our portfolio to remain diversified, we also strive to shape the portfolio over time to increase common attractive attributes across our businesses.
Dover is adept at operating businesses within two core operating models:
•Component Businesses: Many of our businesses produce critical components that represent a small portion of a larger system by cost. For example, our industrial and biopharma pumps, biopharma connectors, engineered bearings and compression components, clean energy components, and heat exchangers are all part of larger systems built or employed by our customers. Such components typically serve demanding applications where value-in-use and costs and risks of switching far exceed the cost of the component itself.
•Equipment with Aftermarket Opportunity: Many of our businesses produce complex and highly engineered equipment and systems that require a significant and predictable volume of parts, consumables, software and services over their life cycle. For example, our marking and coding equipment, plastics and polymer processing equipment and aluminum can-making equipment all derive a significant share of revenue and profits from sale of consumables, parts and services into their large installed base. Recurring demand, which includes parts, consumables, services and software, represents approximately 36% of our revenue.
We see the following commonalities characterizing the majority of Dover businesses:
•Attractive Markets: Our businesses generally operate in strategically attractive niche industrial markets with proven and well-understood long-term growth trends, favorable customer and supplier landscapes, mature and incrementally improving technologies with opportunities for technological differentiation, and highly loyal customers, suppliers or channel partners.
•Leading Positions: Our businesses are long-time leaders in their respective markets and have consistently enjoyed customer bases that choose products primarily based on their performance, track record, safety and compliance.
•Digital Opportunity: Our equipment and components are often complemented by value-added digital applications, including connected products, sensors, digital controls and industry-specific software that create new sources of value for our customers.
•Attractive Financial Profile: Our businesses exhibit attractive financial profiles, characterized by predictable, stable revenue, low capital intensity, strong cash-flow and sustainable returns on invested capital well in excess of our cost of capital.
Business Strategy
Dover seeks to create value for shareholders by combining the global scale and capabilities, as well as access to capital, of a diversified industrial enterprise with the agility and entrepreneurial dynamism of niche manufacturing businesses. We believe the centralized scale of the corporation provides a distinct competitive advantage to our individual operating businesses through (i) driving efficiency gains and economies of scale of shared global resources across the corporation, (ii) freeing management time and effort to focus on the most important aspects of their businesses, including servicing and addressing the critical needs of their customers, aligning their business to capitalize on key market trends and focusing on product excellence, and (iii) access to centralized talent and expertise that our individual operating businesses otherwise may not have on their own. To achieve our stated goals, we are focused on executing the following pillars of Dover's business strategy:
Capturing growth potential in our end-markets and adjacent market segments
Dover’s business segments are focused on building enduring competitive advantages and leadership positions in markets we believe are positioned for sustained future growth. We believe our businesses are among the top suppliers in most markets and niches we serve (as defined by customer applications, geographies or products), which positions us well to capture future growth. We capitalize on our engineering, intellectual property, technology and design expertise, and maintain an intense focus on meeting the needs of our customers and on adding significant, and often new, value to their operations through

superior product performance, safety, reliability, and a commitment to aftermarket support. We cultivate and maintain an entrepreneurial culture to enable business agility, and continuously innovate to address our customers' needs, to help them win in the markets they serve.
In particular, our businesses are well-positioned to capitalize on: growing industrial manufacturing and trade volumes; an increased global focus on digitization and automation in industrial processes; increasing requirements for sustainability, safety, energy efficiency and consumer product safety; and growth of the middle class and consumption in emerging economies.
•Our Engineered Products segment is capitalizing on global infrastructure investment, an increasing number of vehicles in operation, average car age and annual miles driven, increasing digitization and sensorization of modern vehicles, as well as growing defense spending related to signal intelligence and electronic warfare.
•Our Clean Energy & Fueling segment benefits from the worldwide growth in environmental safety and compliance regulations, new infrastructure build-out in emerging economies, transition to clean energy products such as liquefied natural gas and hydrogen, growth in demand for cryogenic gases and electric vehicle charging, consolidation in the convenience retail sector, increased digitization of convenience stores and fuel retailing, as well as secular growth in automated vehicle wash systems and solutions (over manual and do-it-yourself washing).
•Our Imaging & Identification segment leverages its unique product offering containing equipment, consumables, software and services to address market needs and requirements, including increased regulation for supply chain transparency in fast moving consumer goods, adoption of more stringent food safety regulations in emerging economies, and growing demand for product traceability and brand protection.
•Our Pumps & Process Solutions segment is focused on capturing growth in its installed base, in biological drug production and the shift toward single-use manufacturing processes. The segment's offerings address the increased demand for liquid cooling requirements for certain electronics (including in data center infrastructure), and investment in midstream energy and power generation infrastructure (including growing sophistication of fluid transfer and rotating machinery components, instrumentation, and digital controls). We also support virgin, recycled plastics, and polymers production and energy transition investments into wind power, hydrogen compression and carbon capture.
•Our Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment is responding to our customers' demand for increased energy efficiency and sustainability in food retail merchandising solutions, including refrigeration systems using CO 2 refrigerant, as well as increasing demand for sustainable heating and cooling solutions, including heat pumps, and sustainability-driven growing global demand for aluminum beverage cans.
We aim to capture growth by making organic investments in capacity expansion, automation and productivity improvement, research and development, developing new products and technologies, improving digital capabilities and expanding our geographic coverage. We pursue a disciplined and strategic approach to acquisitions aiming to enhance the quality and attractiveness of our portfolio over time and position Dover for long-term growth. We evaluate acquisition opportunities across the portfolio where we see the greatest runway for value-creating inorganic capital deployment. We continually evaluate how our assets and capabilities can position us to grow in markets adjacent to our core businesses (for example, new applications, geographies, product segments or adjacent technologies) where we can be advantaged.
In addition to product innovation, we aim to capture growth by developing digital technologies. Our Boston-based Dover Digital Labs serves as the company-wide hub for our digital initiative. We have continued to invest in this facility and our team of software developers, data scientists, and product managers to enhance our digital capabilities. The Digital Labs team is driving digital transformation across our businesses in four areas: (i) enhancing the customer experience through more efficient and streamlined digital customer interfaces that make it easy to do business with Dover companies; (ii) developing and improving acquired and organically built connected and software-as-a-service ("SaaS") products, that combine sensors, software, machine learning and artificial intelligence; (iii) driving increased efficiency, safety and quality in our manufacturing operations by employing cutting-edge automation through "connected factory" and "data quality" programs; and (iv) ensuring security of digital products. Many of our software solutions in the areas of product traceability, anti-counterfeiting, retail fueling station monitoring, vehicle damage analysis and measurement systems, and visual commerce have been certified as compliant under AICPA System and Organization Controls 2 ("SOC 2") audits. We believe the Digital Labs’ contributions in these areas enable us to add significant value to our products and to capture commercial growth opportunities. By leveraging a central resource for Commercial Excellence, Industry 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things ("IIoT") and our software products, we are able to capture efficiencies in our digital transformation efforts, improve product

security, and offer better efficiency in providing support and engineering for our software and connected products to keep our projects cost-competitive.
Improving profitability and return on invested capital
We are committed to generating sustainable returns on invested capital well above the cost of capital across all of our businesses. We continually evaluate and pursue opportunities to improve efficiency, margin and return on capital. We are intensely foc used on driving operational excellence across our businesses. We have implemented numerous productivity initiatives to maximize our efficiency, such as supply chain integration, shared services, lean manufacturing principles and production automation, footprint optimization, and product complexity reduction, as well as workplace safety initiatives to help ensure the health and welfare of our employees. Our businesses place a strong emphasis on continual product quality improvement and new product development to better serve customers and to facilitate expansion into new products and geographic markets.
We also focus on margin expansion initiatives designed to reduce our selling, general and administrative cost base and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain operations across the portfolio. We continually expand initiatives to extract productivity gains across the businesses and realize savings. Our margin expansion initiatives are focused on four core enterprise capabilities: (1) leverage our Digital Labs team to enhance our internal and market-facing digital capabilities, (2) improve utilization and optimization of our manufacturing footprint through centralized resources and investment, (3) further centralize shared services under Dover Business Services, and (4) invest in our India Innovation Center shared services.
Dover Digital. Our Dover Digital Labs consists of a team of approximately 150 software developers, data scientists, manufacturing engineers and product managers who provide digital capabilities to enhance the customer experience, develop connected industrial products and artificial intelligence based models that are embedded in SaaS offerings provided to customers by our operating companies, drive automation and efficiency inside our factories through digital technologies and in our business processes and focus on the security of our digital products. Our Dover Digital Labs team has built common platforms which are being deployed on customer facing applications to make it easier to discover, find, configure, buy and obtain products and services from Dover companies, thereby optimizing our sales and support staff resources, driving pricing discipline, enabling reduction of product complexity and improving management of working capital. Our digital team has also deployed shared IIoT capability such that many of Dover's products are remotely configurable and monitored, enabling our businesses to sell aftermarket parts and offer remote diagnostic services.
Dover Operational Excellence. Our corporate team is composed of functional experts in operational optimization, lean manufacturing, automation, Environment, Health and Safety ("EHS") and complex project management. This team works closely with our businesses to drive excellence in our manufacturing and supply chain processes, standards and measurement tools to identify, prioritize and monitor execution of operational improvement initiatives. We continue to focus on initiatives to improve operational performance and the continuous improvement programs embedded in our businesses' day-to-day operations.
Dover Business Services. We continue to invest in Dover Business Services shared service centers, consisting of a team of approximately 700 professionals, to provide important transactional and value-added services to our businesses. Our shared service model allows us to leverage scale across Dover, increase process efficiencies through technology and specialization, and reduce risk through centralized controls. Our shared service centers create value by freeing resources within our businesses that would otherwise be dedicated to transactional services and allowing them to focus on customers, markets and product excellence. We expect to continue driving efficiencies through Dover Business Services as we increase the level of service centralization across the portfolio.
India Innovation Center. Our India Innovation Center has a team of approximately 800 engineers and IT professionals that our businesses rely on to leverage for product engineering, digital solutions development, data and information management, research and development and intellectual property services. The scale of this team allows our businesses to access resources with capabilities and expertise across many disciplines that would be more costly to them as stand-alone companies, and allows for concurrent engineering on time sensitive projects.

We have been steadily investing in the build out and deployment of the above four enterprise capabilities in the past several years, including organically investing and expanding the staff of experts and support personnel in key centers of excellence globally.
Disciplined capital allocation and continuous portfolio enhancement
We are focused on the most efficient allocation of capital to maximize returns on investment. To do this, we utilize organic reinvestment to grow and strengthen our existing businesses. We plan to make average annual investments in capital spending of approximately 2% of revenue with a focus on internal projects designed to expand our market participation and manufacturing capacity, drive further adoption of e-commerce and digital capabilities, and improve productivity. In addition, we seek to deploy capital for acquisitions in attractive growth areas across our portfolio. Dover focuses primarily on bolt-on acquisitions, applying strict selection criteria of market attractiveness (including growth, market landscape, and performance-based competition), business fit (including sustained leading position, revenue visibility, and favorable customer value-add versus switching cost or risk) and financial return profile (including accretive growth and margins and double-digit return on invested capital). We opportunistically divest businesses where we see limited runway for future value creation relative to our aspirations, or where market and business fundamentals change and no longer suit our criteria of business attractiveness and portfolio fit. Finally, we have consistently returned cash to shareholders by paying dividends, which have increased annually over each of the last 69 years. We undertake opportunistic share repurchases as part of our capital allocation strategy. We employ a prudent financial policy to support our capital allocation strategy, which includes maintaining an investment grade credit rating.
Portfolio Development
Acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy aims to enhance our existing portfolio through value creating acquisitions within our priority growth platforms, with a focus on increasing our exposure to high organic growth and margin accretive businesses with significant synergy potential. We seek to acquire complementary add-on businesses with a strong fit with our existing platforms, increasing their reach and customer access, broadening their product mix, providing exposure to attractive end market adjacencies, or enhancing technological capabilities and customer value-add. With all our acquisitions, we seek businesses that are leaders in their respective markets or niches, have a strong track record for innovation, offer differentiated solutions, and have attractive and sustainable returns with significant synergy potential. We aim to generate double-digit return on capital within three or four years after an acquisition is completed.
Over the past three years (2022 through 2024), we have spent approximately $1.5 billion, net of cash acquired and including contingent consideration, to purchase thirteen businesses. For more details, see Note 3 — Acquisitions in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Our future growth depends in large part on finding and acquiring successful businesses that expand the scope of our offerings and make us an even more important supplier to our customers. While we expect to generate annual organic revenue growth above that of gross domestic product (4% to 6% annually on average) over a long-term business cycle absent extraordinary adverse economic conditions, our success in consistently growing the portfolio is also dependent on the ability to acquire and integrate businesses within our existing structure. To track post-merger integration and accountability, we utilize an internal scorecard and well-defined processes to help ensure expected synergies are realized and value is created.
Dispositions
From time to time, we have sold or divested some of our businesses based on changes in specific market outlook, structural changes in financial performance, value-creation potential, or for other strategic considerations, which include an effort to reduce our exposure to cyclical and capital intensive markets and, therefore, focus on our higher margin and higher growth spaces.
Going forward, we recognize that some businesses in Dover's portfolio may have a greater value-creation potential if owned by another parent with a larger presence and focus on a given niche. We pragmatically consider such opportunities as part of our ongoing portfolio management and review processes, and execute divestitures if the value created by the divestiture is

determined to be at an appropriate premium to the value of such business to Dover and the divestitures allow Dover shareholders to participate in the future value-creation potential from a change in ownership, including through the redeployment of divestiture proceeds into attractive add-on businesses in higher priority end-markets or through opportunistic return of capital to shareholders.
During 2022 and 2023, there were no material dispositions.
On March 31, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the De-Sta-Co business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, for total consideration, net of cash transferred, of $675.9 million. The sale did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, as it did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on operations and financial results.
On October 8, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the ESG business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, for total consideration, net of cash transferred, of $2.0 billion, subject to standard working capital adjustments. As the disposal represented a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, the sale met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. For more details, see Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Business Segments
As noted previously, Dover's five segments are structured around businesses with similar business models, go-to-market strategies and manufacturing practices and product categories which increases management efficiency and better aligns Dover's operations with its strategic initiatives and capital allocation priorities, and provides greater transparency about performance to external stakeholders. Dover's five operating and reportable segments are as follows: Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions and Climate & Sustainability Technologies.

Raw Materials
We use a wide variety of raw materials, primarily metals and semi-processed or finished components, which are generally available from a number of sources. As a result, the loss of any single supplier has not had, and is not likely to have, a material impact on operating profits at the consolidated level. While the required raw materials are generally available, commodity pricing can be volatile, particularly for various grades of steel, copper, aluminum and select other commodities. Although cost increases in commodities may be recovered through increased prices to customers, our operating results are exposed to such fluctuations. We attempt to control such costs through index-based contracts with suppliers and customers and various other programs, such as our global supply chain activities.
Markets for multiple raw materials saw significant volatility and supply chain disruptions throughout 2021 into 2023. Although most commodity and logistics costs have returned to historical norms, volatility is still a risk due to economic uncertainties and supply side dynamics. These situations could still negatively impact profitability of some businesses as we were required to seek alternative sources of supply at higher costs or interrupt our normal manufacturing process flow leading to less efficient output and cost.
Research and Development
Our businesses invest to develop innovative new products, as well as to upgrade and improve existing products, to satisfy customer needs, including demand for energy-efficient products designed to help customers meet sustainability goals, expand revenue opportunities geographically, maintain or extend competitive advantages, improve product reliability and reduce production costs.
Our Imaging & Identification segment expends significant effort in research and development because the rate of product development by their customers is often quite high. Our businesses that develop product identification, printing equipment and software solutions believe their customers expect a continuing rate of product innovation, performance improvement and reduction in total cost of ownership. The result has been downward pricing trends that can only be mitigated with the continuous introduction of innovative product solutions in a market where product life cycles generally average less than seven years.
Our Clean Energy & Fueling segment invests in research and development to advance innovative traditional and alternative fuel dispensing equipment and components, payment platforms, fuel site asset management and connectivity solutions, IIoT-enabled cloud-based connected solutions for retail and commercial fleet fueling settings, components for high-criticality cryogenic gas storage and transportation applications, including hydrogen and liquefied natural gas. These technology investments align with our customer's needs and our commitment to delivering to our customers opportunities for operational cost reductions, increased sales, and an enhanced customer experience for their customers through a combination of intelligent fueling and retail solutions.
Our Pumps & Process Solutions segment invests in research and development for new product introduction and custom solutions to drive volume and share in both existing markets and newer/faster growth markets – such as single-use biopharmaceutical manufacturing and liquid cooling of high performance electronics. These investments will allow us to take advantage of existing growth trends such as in cell and gene therapy applications, and data center cooling applications supporting investments in artificial intelligence.
Many of our businesses are also involved in important product improvement initiatives. These businesses concentrate on working closely with customers on specific applications, expanding product lines and market applications and continuously improving manufacturing processes. Some of these businesses experience a much more rapid rate of change requiring higher product development capability and new product introduction.
Similarly, our businesses invest in research and development to pursue digital strategies based on customer needs and leverage the capabilities of the Dover Digital Labs to deliver on those digital strategies. For example, OPW, an operating company within the Clean Energy & Fueling segment, announced the launch of its RegO Presto-Link© device and RegO application integration during 2024. This application streamlines testing processes and enhances safety measures for on-site personnel performing the liquefied petroleum gas container and regulator testing. The RegO application is integrated with the Presto-Link Bluetooth device, which communicates with RegO Presto-Tap products placed on propane-system components

Our employees are our most valuable asset and are critical to our ability to deliver on our strategic plans. Our success in delivering high quality and innovative products and solutions for our customers and driving operational excellence is only achievable through the talent, expertise, and dedication of our global team. We had approximately 24,000 employees worldwide as of December 31, 2024.
Attraction, Development, and Retention
We recognize that attracting, developing and retaining skilled talent and promoting a work environment that is professional and inclusive are essential to maintaining our leadership positions in the markets we serve. While our operating companies are the hubs of these activities — an effective model that puts ownership in the businesses and cultures that are the source of opportunities for employees — we are increasingly leveraging the corporate center to drive talent recruitment and development and consistent human capital management practices across our businesses. This center-led focus is enabling us to make development opportunities available across our enterprise which we believe promotes employee advancement, engagement and retention. We offer employees resources to continuously improve their skills and performance with the goal of further cultivating entrepreneurial talent with a range of perspectives, backgrounds, skills, and experiences inside our global businesses to fill key positions. We seek people who are proactive and dedicated, demonstrate an ownership mindset and share our commitment to the pursuit of operational excellence. We continue to make significant investments in talent development and recognize that the growth and development of our employees is essential for our continued success.
Workplace Environment and Inclusion
As noted above, we are committed to maintaining a work environment that is professional, inclusive, and free from discrimination and harassment. That includes ensuring equal opportunity in our hiring practices and in our treatment of employees regardless of their race, color, religion, disability, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, family responsibility, age, or other characteristic protected by law. Our Code of Conduct lays out guidelines to maintain a fair and safe workplace.
We strive to build teams that fully leverage individuals’ capabilities and the breadth of skills, perspectives and experiences represented in our workforce. We believe this motivates our employees to be engaged and productive, enables us to attract new talent, helps us effectively serve our customers, and advances innovation from ideas contributed as a result of the variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of our employees. To that end, we partner with human resources and leadership teams across our portfolio of companies on talent outreach action plans to identify and recruit qualified candidates with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and experiences. We aim to cultivate an inclusive culture that enables employees to feel connected to our business objectives and valued for their contributions.
Health and Safety
We are committed to achieving our vision of a zero-harm workplace and continue to prioritize health and safety compliance, risk mitigation, and process improvement across the organization. We utilize a global EHS information management system designed to measure and track key metrics and actions pertinent to our health and safety programs. This software supports our strategy to proactively reduce hazards thereby further enhancing shop floor safety. Through our efforts, we have reduced our total recordable injury rate substantially since 2019.

Human Capital Investments Related to Strategic Priorities
In line with our strategic priorities, we have additionally invested in the following aspects of human capital resource management, among other areas:
•Dover Digital Labs – We are continuing to leverage our Digital Labs team to improve our digital capabilities. Our team of software developers, data scientists, manufacturing engineers, and product managers drive digital transformation across our businesses by enhancing customer experience, developing connected industrial products, enabling digital manufacturing and securing our digital products.
•Operational management – Our operations teams, including our management team at the corporate center, focuses on improving operational efficiency, such as implementing production automation.
•Shared services – We are continuing to further centralize shared services under Dover Business Services and our India Innovation Center. Our shared services capabilities include a wide range of functional areas including transactional support, human resources, IT, finance and accounting, engineering and product development. These services enable increased productivity and growth as well as free up resources within our operating companies to focus on customers, markets and product development.
Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets
Our businesses own many patents, trademarks, licenses and other forms of intellectual property, which have been created, registered or acquired over a number of years and, to the extent relevant, expire at various times over a number of years. A large portion of our businesses' intellectual property consists of patents, unpatented technology and proprietary information constituting trade secrets that we seek to protect in various ways, including confidentiality agreements with employees and suppliers where appropriate. In addition, a significant portion of our intangible assets relate to customer relationships. While our intellectual property and customer relationships are important to our success, the loss or expiration of any of these rights or relationships is not likely to materially affect our results on a consolidated basis. We believe that our commitment to continuous engineering improvements, new product development and improved manufacturing techniques, as well as strong sales, marketing and service efforts, are significant to our general leadership positions in the niche markets we serve.
Customers
We serve thousands of customers, none of which accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue in 2024. Given our diversity of served markets, customer concentrations are not significant. Businesses supplying the defense and commercial refrigeration industries tend to deal with a few large customers that are significant within those industries. This also tends to be true for businesses supplying the power generation and chemical industries. In the other markets served, there is usually a much lower concentration of customers, particularly where our companies provide a substantial number of products and services applicable to a broad range of end-use applications.
Seasonality
In general, while our businesses are not highly seasonal, we do tend to have stronger revenue generation in the second half of the year, which is driven by customer capital expenditure timing and seasonal activity patterns in our end-markets. Our businesses serving the retail fueling market tend to increase in the second half of the year based on the historical purchasing patterns of their customers. Our businesses serving the major equipment markets, such as power generation, chemical and processing industries, have longer lead times geared to seasonal, commercial, or consumer demands and customers in these markets tend to delay or accelerate product ordering and delivery to coincide with those market trends which moderates the aforementioned seasonality patterns. Our food retail refrigeration business tends to face higher levels of demand in the second and third quarters as retailers avoid construction and remodeling activity during fall/winter holidays.

Environmental Matters
Sustainability
We are committed to creating economic value for shareholders by developing products designed to help our customers meet their sustainability goals, run their operations more efficiently and satisfy evolving regulatory and environmental standards. We believe that sustainability-driven innovation in response to customer demand helps us contribute positively to enhanced resource efficiency and waste reduction while presenting a valuable growth opportunity. Aligned with this commitment, in 2021, we announced science-based targets to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. These targets include an absolute reduction of scope 1 and scope 2 market-based greenhouse gas emissions of 30 percent by 2030, from a 2019 baseline year, and an absolute reduction of scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions of 15 percent by 2030, from a 2019 baseline year.
We highlight key initiatives and performance metrics about our sustainability activities under the "Sustainability" tab on our website, www.dovercorporation.com.
Other Matters
Our operations are governed by a variety of international, national, state and local environmental laws. We are committed to continued compliance and believe our operations generally are in substantial compliance with these laws. In a few instances, particular plants and businesses have been the subject of administrative and legal proceedings with governmental agencies or private parties relating to the discharge or potential discharge of regulated substances. Where necessary, these matters have been addressed with specific consent orders to achieve compliance.
There have been no material effects upon our earnings and competitive position resulting from our compliance with laws or regulations enacted or adopted relating to the protection of the environment. We are aware of a number of existing or upcoming regulatory initiatives intended to reduce emissions in geographies where our manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities are located and have evaluated the potential impact of these regulations on our businesses. We anticipate that direct impacts from regulatory actions will not be significant in the short- to medium-term. We expect the regulatory impacts associated with climate change regulation would be primarily indirect and would result in "pass-through" costs from energy suppliers, suppliers of raw materials and other services related to our operations.
Other Information
We make available free of charge through the "Investor Information" link on our website, www.dovercorporation.com, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports. We post each of these reports on the website as soon as reasonably practicable after the report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The contents of our website are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K, and any reference to our website is intended to be inactive textual references only.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risk factors discussed in this section should be considered together with information included elsewhere in this Form 10-K and should not be considered the only risks to which we are exposed. In general, we are subject to the same general risks and uncertainties that impact many other industrial companies such as general economic, industry and/or market conditions and growth rates; the impact of natural disasters and their effect on global markets; and changes in laws or accounting rules. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our businesses, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Business and Operational Risks
•Recessions, adverse market conditions or downturns in the markets we serve could adversely affect our operations.
In the past, our operations have been exposed to volatility due to changes in general economic conditions or consumer preferences, recessions or adverse conditions in the markets we serve. In the future, similar changes could adversely impact overall sales, operating results (including potential impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets) and cash flows. Moreover, during economic downturns we may undertake more extensive restructuring actions, including workforce reductions, global facility consolidations, centralization of certain business support activities, and other cost reduction initiatives, and incur higher costs. As these plans and actions can be complex, the anticipated operational improvements, efficiencies and other benefits might be delayed or not realized. We are unable to determine the impact that recessions, adverse market conditions or downturns will have on our financial position, operating results and cash flows in future periods.
•Increases in labor costs, potential labor disputes and work stoppages or an inability to hire skilled personnel could adversely affect our business.
We have a number of collective bargaining units in the U.S. and various collective labor arrangements outside the U.S. We are subject to potential work stoppages, union and works council campaigns and other labor disputes, any of which could adversely impact our productivity, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Furthermore, the competition for skilled personnel is often intense in the regions in which our manufacturing facilities are located. A sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates within our employee base, increases in the salaries and wages paid by competing employers, as a result of general macroeconomic factors or otherwise, could lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and potentially further increase salaries and wage rates to attract and retain employees, and could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our manufacturing facilities and overall business. If we are unable to hire and retain employees capable of performing at a high level, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
•Our reputation, ability to do business and results of operations may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents, or business partners.
While we strive to maintain high standards, we cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, or business partners that would violate the laws of the jurisdictions where we do business, including the laws governing payments to government officials, bribery, fraud, anti-kickback and false claims, competition, export and import compliance, environmental compliance, money laundering and data privacy, as well as the improper use of proprietary information or social media. Any such violations of law or improper actions could: subject us to civil or criminal investigations; lead to substantial civil or criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties and related shareholder lawsuits; lead to increased costs of compliance; and damage our reputation, our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Table of Contents
•We are subject to risks relating to our existing international operations and expansion into new geographical markets.
Approximately 46% and 48% of our revenues for 2024 and 2023, respectively, were derived outside the United States and we expect international sales to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues given our global growth strategy. As a result of our international operations and our global expansion strategy, we are subject to various risks, including:

o | political, social and economic instability and disruptions;
o | government import and export controls, economic sanctions, embargoes or trade restrictions;
o | the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures;
o | limitations on ownership and dividend of earnings;
o | transportation delays and interruptions;
o | risk to theft of proprietary information and/or intellectual property;
o | labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;
o | widespread public health crises, such as a pandemic or epidemic;
o | increased compliance costs, including costs associated with disclosure requirements and related due diligence;
o | the impact of loss of a single-source manufacturing facility;
o | difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;
o | limitations on our ability to enforce legal rights and remedies;
o | potentially adverse tax consequences; and
o | access to or control of networks and confidential information due to local government controls and vulnerability of local networks to cyber risks.

If we are unable to successfully manage the risks associated with expanding our global business or adequately manage operational risks of our existing international operations, the risks could have a material adverse effect on our growth in geographic markets, our reputation, our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
•Our businesses or operations may be adversely affected by natural or human-induced disasters, acts of war, terrorism, international conflicts, and public health crises.
Our businesses or operations may be adversely affected by natural or human-induced disasters including, but not limited to, earthquakes; tsunamis; floods; hurricanes, cyclones or typhoons; fires; other extreme weather conditions; power or water shortages; telecommunications failures; materials scarcity; terrorist acts, civil unrest, conflicts or wars; and health epidemics or pandemics. The occurrence of any such event, and the measures taken in response thereto, may disrupt the global economy and adversely impact our operations, including demand for our products across multiple end-markets as well as our supply chain and operations. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all of the costs that may arise from such events. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of such events could cause increased volatility in financial and other capital markets, adversely impacting our stock price, our ability to access the capital markets, and our ability to fund liquidity needs.
The impacts of any such unexpected event are difficult to predict but could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, or operations.
•Our operations, businesses, products and business strategy are subject to cybersecurity risks.
Although we have processes and procedures in place designed to manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk, our business is still subject to certain risks. We depend on our own and third party information systems, including cloud-based systems and managed service providers, to store, process and protect our information and support our business activities. We also use third party systems to support employee data processing for our global workforce and to support customer business

activities, such as transmitting payment information, providing mobile monitoring services, and capturing operational data. Additionally, some of our products contain integrated hardware and software and offer the ability to connect to networks. While we have measures in place that are designed to protect our systems and provide oversight for third party system cybersecurity risks, these systems have been and are expected to continue to be the target of cyber attacks. Although we conduct security assessments and periodic re-assessments of third party partners and other service providers, these systems have in the past and may in the future experience vulnerabilities, including from third-party or open source software code that may be incorporated into our own or our vendors’ systems. Any prolonged system disruption in our systems or third-party services could negatively impact the coordination of our sales, planning, and manufacturing activities, which could harm our business.
Our business has both an increasing reliance on systems and an increasing digital footprint as a result of changing technologies, connected devices and digital offerings, as well as expanded remote work policies. If these technologies, systems, products or services are damaged, cease to function properly, are compromised due to employee or third-party contractor error, user error, malfeasance, system errors, or other vulnerabilities, or are subject to cybersecurity attacks, such as those involving denial of service attacks, unauthorized access, malicious software, ransomware, or other intrusions, misuse or malicious use of artificial intelligence, including by criminals, nation states or insiders, our business may be adversely impacted. The impacts could include production downtimes, operational delays, and other impacts on our operations and ability to provide products and services to our customers; compromise of confidential, proprietary or otherwise protected information, including personal information and customer confidential data; destruction, corruption, or theft of data or intellectual property; manipulation, disruption, or improper use of these technologies, systems, products or services; financial losses from fraudulent transactions, remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability; adverse media coverage; legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, actions and fines; and damage to our reputation. We regularly assess our threat landscape and monitor our systems and other technical security controls, maintain information security policies and procedures, including a breach response plan, ensure maintenance of backup and protective systems, and have a team of security personnel managing our efforts and initiatives. However, there has been a rise in the number of cyberattacks targeting confidential business information generally and in the manufacturing industry specifically, as well as an increase in cyberattacks targeting managed service providers, by both state-sponsored and criminal organizations. Moreover, there has been a rise in the number of cyberattacks that depend on human error or manipulation, including phishing attacks or schemes that use social engineering to gain access to systems or perpetuate wire transfer or other frauds.
These trends increase the likelihood of such events occurring as well as the costs associated with protecting against such events. It is possible for vulnerabilities in our systems to remain undetected for an extended period of time up to and including several years. We attempt to mitigate these risks by employing a number of measures, including employee training, systems monitoring and other technical security controls, vulnerability scanning, risk assessments, a breach response plan, maintenance of backup and protective systems, and security personnel. Notwithstanding those measures, our systems, networks, products and services remain potentially vulnerable to known or unknown cybersecurity attacks and other threats, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We continuously monitor and develop our systems to protect our technology infrastructure and data from misappropriation or corruption. However, a cybersecurity attack could persist for an extended period of time before being detected, and, following detection, it could take considerable time for us to obtain full and reliable information about the extent, amount and type of information compromised. During the course of an investigation, we may not know the full impact of the event and how to remediate it, and actions, decisions and mistakes that are taken or made may further increase the negative effects of the event on our business, results of operations and reputation. While we maintain insurance coverage that is intended to address certain aspects of cybersecurity risks, such insurance coverage may not cover all losses or all types of claims that arise. As cyber threats continue to evolve, cybersecurity and data protection laws and regulations continue to develop in the U.S. and globally, and our business continues to move toward increased online connectivity within our information systems and through more Internet-enabled products and offerings, we expect to expend additional resources to continue to build out our compliance programs, strengthen our information security, data protection and business continuity measures, and investigate and remediate vulnerabilities. For additional information on our cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance, see Item 1C. "Cybersecurity."

•Unforeseen developments in contingencies such as litigation and product recalls could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We and certain of our subsidiaries are, and from time to time may become, parties to a number of legal proceedings incidental to our businesses, including alleged injuries arising out of the use of products or exposure to hazardous substances, or claims related to patent infringement, employment matters and commercial disputes. The defense of these lawsuits may require significant expenses and divert management's attention, and we may be required to pay damages that could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, any insurance or indemnification rights that we may have may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against potential loss exposures.
We may be exposed to product recalls and adverse public relations if our products are alleged to have defects, to cause property damage, to cause injury or illness, or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations. A product recall could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures, which would reduce operating profit and cash flow. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Product recalls may hurt the value of our brands and lead to decreased demand for our products. Product recalls also may lead to increased scrutiny by federal, state or international regulatory agencies of our operations and increased litigation and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
•Our revenue, operating profits and cash flows could be adversely affected if our businesses are unable to protect or obtain patent and other intellectual property rights.
Our businesses own patents, trademarks, licenses and other forms of intellectual property related to their products and continuously invest in research and development that may result in innovations and general intellectual property rights. Our businesses employ various measures to develop, maintain and protect their intellectual property rights. These measures may not be effective in capturing intellectual property rights, and they may not prevent their intellectual property from being challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. Unauthorized use of our businesses' intellectual property rights could adversely impact the competitive position of our businesses and could have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
•We could be negatively impacted by environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability matters.
Governments, shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on corporate ESG practices and disclosures, and expectations in this area continue to evolve and may diverge. Moreover, there are increasing government efforts, domestically and internationally, pertaining to mandatory sustainability reporting. These evolving expectations and reporting requirements may require us to expend substantial resources, could result in reduced demand for certain of our products and services, and could adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations if we are unable to respond to them effectively.
Industry Risks
•Increasing product, service and price competition by international and domestic competitors, including new entrants, and our inability to introduce new and competitive products could cause our businesses to generate lower revenue, operating profits and cash flows.
Our competitive environment is complex because of the wide diversity of the products that our businesses manufacture and the markets they serve. In general, most of our businesses compete with only a few companies. Our ability to compete effectively depends on how successfully we anticipate and respond to various competitive factors, including new products, digital solutions and support services that may be introduced by competitors, changes in customer preferences, evolving regulations, new business models and technologies and pricing pressures. If our businesses are unable to anticipate their competitors' developments or identify customer needs and preferences on a timely basis, successfully introduce new products, digital solutions and support services in response to such competitive factors, or adopt to market changes relating to climate change related policies, they could lose customers to competitors. If our businesses do not compete effectively, we may experience lower revenue, operating profits and cash flows.
20

Table of Contents
•Our operating results depend in part on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products, digital solutions and support services based on technological innovation.
The success of new and improved products, digital solutions and support services depends on their initial and continued acceptance by our customers. Certain of our businesses sell in markets that are characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product introductions, changing industry standards and corresponding shifts in customer demand, which may result in unpredictable product transitions, shortened life cycles and increased importance of being first to market. Failure to correctly identify and predict customer needs and preferences, to deliver high quality, innovative and competitive products to the market, to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or to acquire rights to third-party technologies, to provide adequate data security and privacy protections and to stimulate customer demand for, and convince customers to adopt new products, digital solutions and support services could adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, we may experience difficulties or delays in the research, development, production or marketing of new products, digital solutions and support services which may prevent us from recouping or realizing a return on the investments required to continue to bring new products and services to market.
•We could lose customers or generate lower revenue, operating profits and cash flows if there are significant increases in the cost of our raw materials or components, or if suppliers are not able to meet our quality and delivery requirements.
We purchase raw materials, sub-assemblies and components for use in our manufacturing operations. Factors such as freight costs, transportation availability, inventory levels, the level of imports, the imposition of duties, tariffs and other trade barriers and general economic conditions may affect the price of these raw materials, sub-assemblies and components. Significant price increases for certain commodities, other raw materials or components could adversely affect operating profits of our businesses. While we generally attempt to mitigate the impact of increased raw material prices by hedging or passing along the increased costs to customers, there may be a time delay between the increased raw material prices and the ability to increase the prices of products, or we may be unable to increase the prices of products due to a competitor's pricing pressure or other factors.
We use a wide range of raw materials and components in our manufacturing operations that come from numerous suppliers. While we believe that sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects of extended lead times or shortages may have in the future. In addition, some of the raw materials and components may be available only from limited or single source suppliers. If a single source or limited source supplier were to cease or interrupt production for any reason or otherwise fail to supply those raw materials or components to us on favorable purchase terms, including at favorable prices, in sufficient quantities and with adequate lead times needed for efficient manufacturing, our ability to meet customer commitments, and satisfy market demands for affected products could be negatively affected. The disruption of our global supply chain for any reason, including for issues such as COVID-19 or other health epidemics or pandemics, labor disputes, loss of single source or limited source supplier, inability to procure sufficient raw materials, quality control issues, ethical sourcing issues, discontinuity or disruption in our internal information and data systems or those of our suppliers, cybersecurity incidents including but not limited to ransomware attacks, misuse of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, a supplier's financial distress, natural disasters, looting, vandalism or acts of war or terrorism, trade sanctions or other external factors over which we have no control, could interrupt product supply and, if not effectively managed and remedied, have a material adverse impact on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents
Legal and Regulatory Risks
•Our businesses are subject to regulation and their profitability and reputation could be adversely affected by domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes, risks associated with emerging markets, changes in statutory tax rates and unanticipated outcomes with respect to tax audits.
Our businesses' domestic and international sales and operations must comply with a wide variety of laws, regulations and policies (including environmental, employment and health and safety regulations, data security laws, data privacy laws, export/import laws, tax policies such as export subsidy programs and research and experimentation credits, sustainability regulations, energy efficiency and design regulations and other similar programs). These laws, regulations and policies are complex, change frequently, have tended to become more stringent over time and may be inconsistent across jurisdictions. Failure to comply (or any alleged or perceived failure to comply) with any of the foregoing could result in civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties as well as potential damage to our reputation and disruption to our business. We cannot provide assurance that our costs of complying with new and evolving regulatory reporting requirements and current or future laws will not exceed our estimates. Any of these factors could adversely affect customer demand, our relationships with customers and suppliers, and our business and financial position.
Certain of our businesses have sales or operations in countries, including Brazil, India and China, and may in the future invest in other countries, any of which may carry high levels of currency, political, compliance, or economic risk. While these risks or the impact of these risks are difficult to predict, any one or more of them could adversely affect our businesses and reputation.
Our effective tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets and changes in income tax laws. The amount of income taxes and other taxes paid can be adversely impacted by changes in statutory tax rates and laws and are subject to ongoing audits by governmental authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts estimated, then our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected by unfavorable tax adjustments.
Financial and Strategic Risks
•Our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on cross-border transactions and the translation of local currency results into U.S. dollars could negatively impact our results of operations.
We conduct business through our subsidiaries in many different countries, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates could have a significant impact on our reported consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, which are presented in U.S. dollars. Cross-border transactions, both with external parties and intercompany relationships, result in increased exposure to foreign exchange effects. Accordingly, significant changes in currency exchange rates, particularly the euro, Chinese renminbi (yuan), Swedish krona, pound sterling, Indian rupee, Singapore dollar, Danish krone, and Canadian dollar, could cause fluctuations in the reported results of our businesses' operations that could negatively affect our results of operations. Additionally, the strengthening of certain currencies such as the euro and U.S. dollar potentially exposes us to competitive threats from lower cost producers in other countries. Our sales are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of foreign locations are translated into U.S. dollars.

Table of Contents
•Our growth and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unsuccessful in our capital allocation and acquisition program.
We expect to continue our strategy of seeking to acquire value creating add-on businesses that broaden our existing position and global reach as well as, in the right circumstances, strategically pursue larger acquisitions that could have the potential to either complement our existing businesses or allow us to pursue a new platform. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to find suitable businesses to purchase, that we will be able to acquire such businesses on acceptable terms, or that all closing conditions will be satisfied with respect to any pending acquisition. In addition, we face the risk that a completed acquisition may underperform relative to expectations. We may not achieve the synergies originally anticipated, may become exposed to unexpected liabilities or may not be able to sufficiently integrate completed acquisitions into our current business and growth model. Further, if we fail to allocate our capital appropriately, in respect of either our acquisition program or organic growth in our operations, we could be overexposed in certain markets and geographies and unable to expand into adjacent products or markets. These factors could potentially have an adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
•The indemnification provisions of acquisition and disposition agreements by which we have acquired or sold or disposed of companies may not fully protect us and may result in unexpected liabilities.
Certain of the acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies require the former owners to indemnify us against certain liabilities related to the operation of those companies before we acquired them. In most of these agreements, however, the liability of the former owners is limited and certain former owners may be unable to meet their indemnification responsibilities. Similarly, the purchasers of our disposed operations may from time to time agree to indemnify us for operations of such businesses after the closing. We cannot be assured that any of these indemnification provisions will fully protect us, and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities that adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, we have retained certain liabilities directly or through indemnifications made to the buyers of businesses we have sold or disposed against known and unknown contingent liabilities such as tax liabilities and environmental matters.
There can be no assurance that the indemnity agreements will be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of any liabilities that may arise, or that the indemnitors will be able to fully satisfy their indemnification obligations. The failure to receive amounts for which we are entitled to indemnification could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management and Strategy
We continue to face significant and persistent cybersecurity risks and our business has both an increasing reliance on systems and an increasing digital footprint as a result of changing technologies, connected devices and digital offerings, as well as expanded remote work policies. We regularly assess our threat landscape and monitor our systems and other technical security controls, maintain information security policies and procedures, including a breach response plan, take steps to ensure maintenance of backup and protective systems, and have a team of security personnel managing our efforts and initiatives. We regularly review our policies, practices, and plans with assistance from third party experts and advisors for certification purposes, including with respect to SOC 2 certifications and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) certifications where relevant, and leverage third party resources to support our cyber risk defense, monitoring and response processes. We conduct security assessments and periodic re-assessments on key third party partners and other service providers with access to information assets of Dover. We review independent audit reports from key third party partners and other service providers with access to information assets at least annually. In addition, our online employees are required to participate in cyber, information security, and privacy training at least annually.

From an operational perspective, we use vulnerability scanning tools to assess potential data security risks. We correlate the results and prioritize any key actions based on threat modeling analysis and monitor any such actions in-progress with the system owners based on assigned timelines for remediation. However, patch and vulnerability management, including for products and information assets, remains a complex and key risk that has in the past led to and may in the future lead to exploits, security breaches and service disruption. We also integrate security measures into our digital products and services, although product security risks will continue to evolve and grow more complex.
Our product security efforts are informed in part by key tenants of various industry security standards such as ISA 62443, UL 2000-1, and certain standards from the National Institute of Standards & Technology ("NIST"). As part of our efforts, we conduct risk assessments and prioritize security validation for certain of our products. For example, we conduct security testing and remediation on a risk-based prioritized basis prior to releasing certain products into the market, as well as periodically post-release to discover potential issues in code, firmware, and protocols and to consider potential security patches or future version updates. We have received SOC 2 certifications for some of our products and software offerings and continue to strive to meet similar requirements for other digital offerings.
Our enterprise risk management program, led by a team of senior executives, includes the performance of an annual risk assessment made at the corporate center and operating company levels, and is designed to identify enterprise level risks we may face, including cybersecurity risk at a high level. Each quarter, this team reassesses the identified enterprise risks, the severity of these risks, and the status of efforts to mitigate them. We also engage consultants and other third parties for periodic risk and vulnerability testing and assessment.
We also maintain insurance coverage that is intended to address certain aspects of cybersecurity risks.
Notwithstanding any of these measures, our systems, networks, products and services remain potentially vulnerable to known or unknown cybersecurity attacks and other threats, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We have experienced, and will continue to experience, cyber incidents in the normal course of our business. As of the date of this report, we have not identified any specific risks from cybersecurity threats, including those from any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, our business strategy, results of operation or financial condition. However, there can be no assurances that a cybersecurity threat or incident that could have a material impact on us will not occur in the future. For additional information on the risks we face from cyber security threats, please see the risk factor titled, "Our operations, businesses, products, and business strategy are subject to cybersecurity risks,"in Item 1A. "Risk Factors."
Governance
Our Board has established a risk management process to identify and manage material risks at the enterprise level, including the potential impact of key cybersecurity threats. The full Board meets with the Senior Vice President & Chief Digital Officer (CDO) and our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) on at least an annual basis to discuss our cybersecurity posture. The Board also periodically receives targeted briefings related to cybersecurity and reviews our incident response capabilities.
Our CDO and CISO work to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly assist in coordinating a response to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with the Company’s cybersecurity incident response and recovery plans and processes as described above. The CDO is responsible for corporate-wide data security, and the CISO is responsible for developing, implementing and enforcing security policies at the corporate level and providing guidance for the operating companies to manage our overall cybersecurity risks. The CDO and CISO are informed about and monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through their management of the cybersecurity incident response and recovery plans and processes, as described above. The CDO and CISO also periodically meet with certain corporate officers, such as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel to review and discuss cybersecurity issues.
24

Table of Contents
The CDO has over 30 years of information technology experience, including at several Fortune 500 companies and including experience with cybersecurity initiatives that address governance, operational practices, cyber-awareness and technology. The CISO has over 25 years of cybersecurity and risk management experience, specializing in strategy, architecture, and operational practices at multiple Fortune 500 companies. The CDO holds an undergraduate degree in electrical and electronics engineering, a master’s degree in computer science and a master’s degree in business administration. The CISO holds an undergraduate degree in political science and a master's degree in information security, along with Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) certifications.
The CDO and CISO annually brief our full Board of Directors on enterprise-wide cybersecurity risk management and our overall cybersecurity risk environment.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and Notes included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, particularly in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and in the "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Part I of this Form 10-K.
Throughout this MD&A, we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Please see "Non-GAAP Disclosures" at the end of this Item 7 for further detail on these financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. Reconciliations within this MD&A provide more details on the use and derivation of these measures.
OVERVIEW
Dover Corporation is a diversified global manufacturer and solutions provider delivering innovative equipment and components, consumable supplies, aftermarket parts, software and digital solutions and support services.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, consolidated revenue was $7.7 billion, an increase of $61.4 million or 0.8%, as compared to the prior year. The increase is driven by acquisition-related growth of 3.0%, partially offset by a disposition-related decline of 2.0% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.2%. The results were driven by acquisitions, solid demand across most end markets and strategic pricing initiatives.
Organic revenue remained flat due to increases of 8.2%, 2.6%, 2.4%, and 1.4% in our Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, and Pumps & Process Solutions segments, respectively, offset by the Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment which declined 11.2%. For further information, see "Segment Results of Operations" within this Item 7.
From a geographic perspective, organic revenue for the U.S., our largest market, grew 3.8% as compared to the prior year, driven by broad-based growth primarily in our Engineered Products and Clean Energy & Fueling segments. Revenue in Asia and Europe declined 7.1% and 3.1%, respectively, while revenue in Other Americas grew 5.6%. All other geographic markets declined 17.4% organically year over year.
Bookings increased 7.3% over the prior year to $7.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. This included organic bookings growth of 6.5% and acquisition-related growth of 3.2%, partially offset by a disposition-related decline of 2.1% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.3%.
Restructuring and other costs of $85.0 million included restructuring charges of $69.8 million and other costs of $15.2 million. Restructuring and other costs were primarily related to headcount reductions and product line and other exit costs in the Clean Energy & Fueling and Climate & Sustainability Technologies segments. Other costs (benefits) were primarily due to non-cash asset impairment charges and reorganization costs in the Climate & Sustainability Technologies and Imaging & Identification segments, respectively. For further discussion related to our restructuring and other costs, see "Restructuring and Other Costs (Benefits)," within this Item 7.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed eight business acquisitions for approx imately $674.0 million, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments and contingent consideration. See Note 3 — Acquisitions in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details regarding the businesses acquired during the year.

Table of Contents
On March 31, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the De-Sta-Co business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, for total consideration, net of cash transferred of $675.9 million. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain on disposition of $530.3 million, included within the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details.
On September 30, 2024, a minority owned equity method investment held within the Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment was sold and the Company received its proportionate share of the proceeds amounting to $93.0 million. The sale resulted in a preliminary pre-tax gain of $67.4 million, included within the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details.
On October 8, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, for total consideration, net of cash transferred, of $2.0 billion. This sale resulted in a preliminary pre-tax gain on disposition of $1.6 billion, included within earnings from discontinued operations, net in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. For all periods presented, the results of ESG prior to the sale are classified as discontinued operations as the disposal represented a strategic shift with a major impact on our operations and financial results. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details. The discussion within this MD&A, unless otherwise noted, relates solely to our continuing operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received a total of 2,869,282 shares upon completion of a $500 million accelerated repurchase program (the "ASR Program"). The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASR Program was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the accelerated share repurchase program, less a discount, which was $174.26 over the term of the ASR Program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, exclusive of the ASR Program, there were no share repurchases.

Table of Contents
Revenue
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $61.4 million, or 0.8% to $7.7 billion compared with 2023. Organic revenue remained flat as pricing actions and broad-based demand across most of the portfolio were offset by lower shipments of beverage can-making equipment, polymer processing equipment, and European heat exchangers. The increase in revenue was driven by acquisition-related growth of 3.0% primarily in our Clean Energy & Fueling and Pumps & Process Solutions segments, partially offset by a disposition-related decline of 2.0% in our Engineered Products segment and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.2%. Customer pricing favorably impacted revenue in 2024 by approximately 1.6% and by 3.8% in the prior year.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased $159.7 million, or 2.0% to $7.7 billion compared with 2022. Organic revenue decline of 2.8% was primarily due to general reduction in our customers' and distribution channels' inventory levels that resulted from lead time normalization and higher inventory carrying costs driven by interest rate increases. Acquisition-related growth increased by 1.0% primarily driven by our Pumps & Process Solutions segment, offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.2%. Customer pricing favorably impacted revenue in 2023 by approximately 3.8% and by 6.7% in the prior year.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2024, increased $91.1 million, or 3.2%, to $3.0 billion compared with 2023, primarily driven by positive product mix, pricing and productivity actions. Gross profit margin increased 90 basis points to 38.2% as compared to the prior year driven by benefits from mix, pricing, price versus cost dynamics and productivity initiatives, partially offset by inflationary headwinds, acquisition integration costs and lower volumes across some of the Company's businesses.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023, decreased $37.4 million, or 1.3%, to $2.9 billion compared with 2022, primarily due to lower volumes across some end markets, partially offset by positive market conditions in certain secular growth-exposed businesses, as well as pricing, productivity initiatives and restructuring actions. Gross profit margin increased 30 basis points to 37.3% as compared to the prior year driven by benefits from pricing, productivity and restructuring actions, partially offset by lower volumes across some of the Company's businesses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $104.1 million, or 6.3% to $1.8 billion compared with 2023, primarily driven by increased employee compensation and benefits and acquisition-related amortization. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 120 basis points to 22.6%, reflecting an increase in expense which exceeded the increase in the revenue base.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $22.9 million, or 1.4% to $1.6 billion compared with 2022, primarily driven by increased restructuring, employee compensation and benefits and acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, partially offset by lower contract labor costs. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 70 basis points to 21.4%, reflecting a decrease in the revenue base.
Research and development costs, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred and amounted to $149.6 million, $139.1 million and $151.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs as a percent of revenue were 1.9%, 1.8% and 1.9% for the years December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Non-Operating Items
Interest Expense, net
For the year ended December 31, 2024, interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $23.8 million, or 20.2%, to $94.0 million compared with 2023 primarily due to interest income generated by the proceeds from the sale of ESG held in highly liquid short-term investments.
31

Table of Contents
For the year ended December 31, 2023, interest expense, net of interest income, increased $5.8 million, or 5.2%, to $117.8 million compared with 2022 primarily driven by increased higher average interest rates since the prior year, partially offset by decreased commercial paper borrowings.
Gain on Dispositions
Gain on dispositions of $597.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by the sale of the De-Sta-Co business on March 31, 2024, and the sale of a minority owned equity method investment on September 30, 2024. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further details.
There were no significant dispositions in the years ended 2023 and 2022.
Other Income, net
Other income, net includes non-service pension benefit, deferred compensation plan investments gain or loss, earnings or charges from equity method investments, foreign exchange gain or loss, and various other items. Other income, net for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $46.9 million, $21.5 million and $22.6 million, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, other income increased compared to 2023 primarily driven by increased non-service pension benefit and increased deferred compensation plan investment gain. For the year ended December 31, 2023, other income decreased compared to 2022 due to the decrease in non-service pension benefit, partially offset by increased non-operational income and increased earnings from our equity method investments.
Income Taxes
Our businesses have a global presence with 35.8%, 45.8% 46.7% of our pre-tax earnings in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, generated in foreign jurisdictions. Foreign earnings are generally subject to local country tax rates that differ from the 21.0% U.S. statutory tax rate.
Our effective tax rate was 20.3% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 16.0% and 16.8% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The 2024 tax rate was primarily driven by gains on dispositions. The 2023 rate was primarily driven by the release of a valuation allowance against non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards mainly related to an internal reorganization, partially offset by accrual of withholding taxes on current and future repatriation of certain foreign earnings.The 2022 rate was primarily driven by favorable audit resolutions, including a reduction to income taxes previously recorded related to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
The Company is continuing to monitor the changes in tax laws resulting from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s multi-jurisdictional plan of action to address base erosion and profit shifting. We do not expect this to have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Each of these segments is comprised of various product and service offerings that serve multiple markets. We evaluate our operating segment performance based on segment earnings as defined in Note 19 — Segment Information in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Additionally, we use the following operational metrics in monitoring the performance of the business. We believe the operational metrics are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments:
•Bookings represent total orders received from customers in the current reporting period and exclude de-bookings related to orders received in prior periods, if any. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.
•Organic bookings represent bookings excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.
•Book-to-bill is a ratio of the amount of bookings received from customers during a period divided by the amount of revenue recorded during that same period. This metric is a useful indicator of demand.

Restructuring and Other Costs (Benefits)
Restructuring and other costs are not presented in our segment earnings because these costs are excluded from the segment operating performance measure reviewed by management. During the year ended December 31, 2024, restructuring charges of $69.8 million were primarily related to headcount reductions and product line and other exit costs in the Clean Energy & Fueling and Climate & Sustainability Technologies segments. These restructuring programs were initiated in 2023 and 2024 and were undertaken in light of current market conditions. The Company will continue to make proactive adjustments to its cost structure to align with current demand trends. Other costs, net of $15.2 million, were primarily due to non-cash asset impairment charges and reorganization costs in the Climate & Sustainability Technologies and Imaging & Identification segments, respectively. These restructuring and other charges were primarily recorded in cost of goods and services and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings. Additional programs beyond the scope of the announced programs may be implemented during 2025 with related restructuring charges.
We recorded the following restructuring and other costs for the year ended December 31, 2024:

Purchase Accounting Expenses
Purchase accounting expenses primarily relate to amortization of acquired assets and charges related to fair value step-ups for acquired inventory sold during the period. These expenses are not presented in our segment earnings because they are excluded from the segment operating performance measure reviewed by management. These expenses reconcile to segment earnings as follows:

FINANCIAL CONDITION
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity are cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, dividends, repurchase of outstanding shares, adequacy of available commercial paper and bank lines of credit and the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. We generate substantial cash from the operations of our businesses and remain in a strong financial position, with sufficient liquidity available for upcoming debt maturities and for reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table is derived from our consolidated statements of cash flows:

| Years Ended December 31,
Cash Flows from Operations (in thousands) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash flows provided by (used in): |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities | $ | 1,087,833 |  |  | $ | 1,219,546 |  |  | $ | 746,754 |
Investing activities | (26,983) |  |  | (717,715) |  |  | (520,844) |
Financing activities | (1,271,673) |  |  | (568,056) |  |  | (260,265) |

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $131.7 million compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily due to tax payments of $103.4 million and $20.4 million related to gains from the sales of De-Sta-Co and a minority owned equity method investment, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $472.8 million compared to 2022. This increase was primarily driven by improvements in the management of working capital.
Adjusted Working Capital: We believe adjusted working capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) provides a meaningful measure of liquidity by showing changes caused by operational results. The following table provides a calculation of adjusted working capital:

Adjusted Working Capital (in thousands) |  | December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  |
Receivables, net |  | $ | 1,354,225 |  |  | $ | 1,321,107 |  |  |
Inventories, net |  | 1,144,838 |  |  | 1,144,089 |  |  |
Less: Accounts payable |  | 848,006 |  |  | 854,465 |  |  |
Adjusted working capital |  | $ | 1,651,057 |  |  | $ | 1,610,731 |  |  |

Adjusted working capital increased by $40.3 million, or 2.5%, to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2024, which reflected an increase in accounts receivable of $33.1 million, an increase in inventory of $0.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $6.5 million. These amounts include the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency translation. The increase in adjusted working capital versus year-end 2023 is primarily a result of collections timing driving higher year-end accounts receivable balances.
Investing Activities
Cash flow from investing activities is derived from cash inflows from proceeds from dispositions, offset by cash outflows for acquisitions and capital expenditures. The majority of the activity in investing activities was comprised of the following:
•Proceeds from dispositions: In 2024, we received net proceeds of $768.8 million from the sales of De-Sta-Co, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, and a minority owned equity method investment within Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
43

Table of Contents
•Acquisitions: In 2024, we deployed $635.3 million, net of cash acquired to acquire eight businesses. In comparison, we acquired two businesses in 2023 for total consideration of $533.6 million, net of cash acquired. Total acquisition spend in 2022 was $312.9 million, net of cash acquired and was comprised of three businesses. See Note 3 — Acquisitions in the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
•Capital spending: Capital expenditures, primarily to support growth initiatives, productivity and new product launches, were $167.5 million in 2024, $183.4 million in 2023, and $211.1 million in 2022. Our capital expenditures decreased $15.9 million and $27.7 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, in line with our planned expenditures for the years.
We anticipate that capital expenditures and any additional acquisitions we make in 2025 will be funded from available cash and internally generated funds and, if necessary, through the issuance of commercial paper, or by accessing the public debt or equity markets. We estimate capital expenditures in 2025 to range from $170.0 million to $190.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities generally relat es to the use of cash for purchases of our common stock and payment of dividends, offset by net borrowing activity. The majority of financing activity was attributed to the following:
•Repurchase of common stock, including accelerated share repurchase program: During 2024, the Company received a total of 2,869,282 shares upon completion of the 2024 ASR Program for $500.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased no shares. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received a total of 3,892,295 shares upon completion of the 2022 ASR Program for $500.0 million, and exclusive of the 2022 ASR Program, repurchased 641,428 shares of common stock at a total cost of $85.0 million.
•Commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, net: During 2024 and 2023, we used $467.6 million and $267.5 million, respectively, to pay off primarily commercial paper borrowings. During 2022, we received net proceeds of $629.9 million from commercial paper and other short-term borrowings used to partially fund our accelerated share repurchase transaction and the acquisition of Malema.
•Dividend payments: Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $283.1 million in 2024, $284.3 million in 2023 and $287.6 million 2022. Our dividends paid per common share increased 1% to $2.05 per share in 2024 compared to $2.03 per share in 2023. The number of common shares outstanding decreased from 2023 to 2024, as share repurchases exceeded share issuances.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
Cash flows from discontinued operations generated $1.6 billion, $107.9 million and $38.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and represents the results of ESG during the periods presented. The cash flows from discontinued operations generated for 2024 primarily relate to cash provided by investing activities of $2.0 billion, which is comprised primarily of proceeds from the sale of ESG and partially offset by cash used by operating activities of $339.5 million, comprised of $439.9 million in tax payments made related to the gain on disposition, partially offset by cash flows from ESG's operating results. Cash flows generated for 2023 primarily relate to cash provided by operating activities of $116.8 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $8.9 million. Cash flows generated for 2022 primarily relate to cash provided by operations of $59.0 million, partially offset by cash paid for an asset acquisition of $10.2 million and capital expenditures of $9.9 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Free Cash Flow
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the consolidated statements of cash flows, we also measure free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Free cash flow as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations equals free
44

Table of Contents
cash flow divided by earnings from continuing operations. We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that may be available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.
The following table reconciles our free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities:

| Years Ended December 31,
Free Cash Flow (dollars in thousands) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Cash flow provided by operating activities | $ | 1,087,833 |  |  | $ | 1,219,546 |  |  | $ | 746,754 |
Less: Capital expenditures | (167,533) |  |  | (183,406) |  |  | (211,082) |
Free cash flow | $ | 920,300 |  |  | $ | 1,036,140 |  |  | $ | 535,672 |
Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of revenue | 14.0 % |  | 15.9 % |  | 9.5 %
Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations | 77.7 % |  | 129.2 % |  | 75.4 %
Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue | 11.9 % |  | 13.5 % |  | 6.8 %
Free cash flow as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations | 65.7 % |  | 109.8 % |  | 54.1 %

Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $115.8 million compared to 2023 primarily due to tax payments made for the gain on sale of De-Sta-Co and a minority owned equity method investment totaling $123.8 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures. The decreases in cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow as percentages of earnings from continuing operations are primarily due to the gain on sale of De-Sta-Co and a minority owned equity method investment. Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $500.5 million compared to 2022 driven by higher operating cash flow, primarily as a result of improvements in cash flows related to working capital and a decrease in capital expenditures compared to the prior year. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a $43.5 million income tax payment related to the gain on sale of Unified Brands in the fourth quarter of 2021 and a $13.4 million tax payment in 2022 related to an internal reorganization.
Capitalization
We use commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock. As of December 31, 2024, we maintained $1.0 billion five-year and $500.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facilities (together, the "Credit Agreements") with a syndicate of banks which expire April 6, 2028 and April 3, 2025, respectively. We may elect to extend the maturity date of any loans under the 364-day credit facility until April 3, 2026, subject to conditions specified therein. The Credit Agreements are designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company's commercial paper program.
At the Company's election, loans under the Credit Agreements will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreements require the Company to pay facility fees and impose various restrictions on the Company such as, among other things, a requirement to maintain an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreements and other long-term debt covenants at December 31, 2024 and had an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 42.5 to 1. We are not aware of any potential impairment to our liquidity and expect to remain in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
We also have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows for the issuance of additional debt securities that may be utilized in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. Net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 billion, of which approximately $300.5 million was held outside the United States. At December 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale, totaled $415.9 million, of which $286.9 million was held outside the United States. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in bank deposits with highly rated banks. We regularly hold cash in excess of near-term requirements in bank deposits or invest the funds in government money market instruments or short-term investments, which consist of investment grade time deposits with original maturity dates at the time of purchase of no greater than three months.
We utilize the net debt to net capitalization calculation (a non-GAAP measure) to assess our overall financial leverage and capacity and believe the calculation is useful to investors for the same reason. Net debt represents total debt minus cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale. Net capitalization represents net debt plus stockholders' equity. The following table provides a calculation of net debt to net capitalization from the most directly comparable GAAP measures:

Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio (dollars in thousands) |  | December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  |  | December 31, 2022 |
Commercial paper |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 467,600 |  |  |  | $ | 734,936 |  |
Current portion of long-term debt and other |  | 400,056 |  |  | 682 |  |  |  | 836 |  |
Total short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt |  | 400,056 |  |  | 468,282 |  |  |  | 735,772 |  |
Long-term debt |  | 2,529,346 |  |  | 2,991,759 |  |  |  | 2,942,513 |  |
Total debt |  | 2,929,402 |  |  | 3,460,041 |  |  |  | 3,678,285 |  |
Less: Cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale |  | (1,844,877) |  |  | (415,861) |  |  |  | (380,868) |  |
Net debt |  | 1,084,525 |  |  | 3,044,180 |  |  |  | 3,297,417 |  |
Add: Stockholders' equity |  | 6,953,996 |  |  | 5,106,605 |  |  |  | 4,286,366 |  |
Net capitalization |  | $ | 8,038,521 |  |  | $ | 8,150,785 |  |  |  | $ | 7,583,783 |  |
Net debt to net capitalization |  | 13.5 | % |  | 37.3 | % |  |  | 43.5 | % |

Our net debt to net capitalization ratio decreased to 13.5% at December 31, 2024 compared to 37.3% at December 31, 2023. Net debt decreased $2.0 billion during the period primarily due to increased cash and cash equivalents from the disposition of the ESG business. Stockholders' equity increased for the period as a result of current earnings of $2.7 billion, partially offset by share repurchases under the ASR Program and dividends paid during the period.
Our net debt to net capitalization ratio decreased to 37.3% at December 31, 2023 compared to 43.5% at December 31, 2022. Net debt decreased $253.2 million primarily due to a decrease in commercial paper borrowings and greater cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale. Stockholder's equity increased for the period as a result of earnings of $1.1 billion offset by $284.3 million of dividends paid.
Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing cash flow-to-debt and debt-to-capitalization levels as well as our current credit standing. Set forth below are our credit ratings, as of December 31, 2024, which were independently developed by the respective credit agencies. The Moody's rating and outlook were issued in December 2018, and the Standard & Poor's rating was issued in December 2017 and the outlook was most recently revised in May 2021. The ratings and outlooks from both agencies were affirmed in 2024.

| Short-Term Rating |  | Long-Term Rating |  | Outlook
Moody's | P-2 |  | Baa1 |  | Stable
Standard & Poor's | A-2 |  | BBB+ |  | Stable

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $160.0 million outstanding in letters of credit, surety bonds, and performance and other guarantees which primarily expire on various dates through 2035. These letters of credit and bonds are primarily issued as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which is believed to be remote.

Table of Contents
Our estimate of future interest payments on long-term debt is $841.2 million based on the interest rates in effect as of December 31, 2024.
Operating cash flow and access to capital markets are expected to satisfy our various cash flow requirements, including acquisitions, capital expenditures, purchase obligations, debt maturities and lease obligations. Acquisition spending and/or share repurchases could potentially increase our debt.
We believe that existing sources of liquidity are adequate to meet anticipated funding needs at current risk-based interest rates for the foreseeable future.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The diverse nature of our businesses' activities necessitates the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage some of these risks. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instrument contracts; however, nonperformance by these counterparties is considered unlikely as our policy is to contract with highly-rated, diversified counterparties.
Interest Rate Exposure
As of December 31, 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any open interest rate swap contracts; however, we may in the future enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. We issue commercial paper, which exposes us to changes in variable interest rates; however, maturities are typically three months or less so a change in rates over this period would not have a material impact on our pre-tax earnings.
We consider our current risk related to market fluctuations in interest rates to be minimal since our debt is largely long-term and fixed rate in nature. Generally, the fair market value of fixed-interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would decrease the 2024 year-end fair value of our long-term debt by approximately $129.1 million. However, since we have no plans to repurchase our outstanding fixed-rate instruments before their maturities, the impact of market interest rate fluctuations on our long-term debt does not affect our results of operations or financial position.
Foreign Currency Exposure
We conduct business in various non-U.S. countries, including Canada, substantially all of the European countries, Mexico, Brazil, China, India and other Asian countries. Therefore, we have foreign currency risk relating to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We will occasionally use derivative financial instruments to offset such risks, when it is believed that the exposure will not be limited by our normal operating and financing activities. We have formal policies to mitigate risk in this area by using fair value and/or cash flow hedging programs.
Changes in the value of the currencies of the countries in which we operate affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows when translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects as the results of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars. We have generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements relative to our investment in non-U.S. operations. We may, from time to time, for a specific exposure, enter into fair value hedges.
Additionally, we have designated the €600 million and €500 million of euro-denominated notes issued November 9, 2016 and November 4, 2019, respectively, as a hedge of our net investment in euro-denominated operations. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the euro-denominated debt due to exchange rate changes are offset by changes in the net investment. Accordingly, changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt are recognized in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income to offset changes in the value of the net investment in euro-denominated operations. Due to the fluctuations of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar equivalent of this debt increases or decreases, resulting in the recognition of a

pre-tax gain of $66.8 million, and $80.3 million in other comprehensive (loss) earnings for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2022, respectively and a pre-tax loss of $45.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Commodity Price Exposure
Some of our businesses are exposed to volatility in the prices of certain commodities, such as aluminum, steel, copper and various precious metals, among others. Our primary exposure to commodity pricing volatility relates to the use of these materials in purchased component parts or the purchase of raw materials. In some cases, we maintain longer-term index-based contracts on raw materials and component parts and centrally drive an ongoing effort to minimize risk proactively. However, we are prone to exposure as these contracts expire.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Revenue Recognition
Description
The majority of our revenue is generated through the manufacture and sale of a broad range of specialized products and components, with revenue recognized upon transfer of title and risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment. In limited cases, our revenue arrangements with customers require delivery, installation, testing, certification, or other promises to deliver goods or services that may impact the timing or pattern of revenue recognized. The remainder of our revenue is recognized over time, which is primarily related to services performed and specialized goods manufactured.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
A significant level of judgment is involved in the identification of performance obligations for contracts with multiple-element arrangements and the allocation of the transaction price based on the relative stand-alone selling price. The identification requires judgment to identify all distinct goods or services and also the appropriate timing of revenue recognition for each distinct good or service based on the transfer of control to the customer. We estimate the relative stand-alone selling price for performance obligations if not directly observable. A significant level of judgment is also involved in the selection of the appropriate method to recognize revenue over time.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
To the extent the judgments and estimates used or the method selected to recognize revenue over time differ or change in a future period, a change to revenue and the related assets and liabilities could impact our financial position or results of operations. The judgments, estimates, and methods used have been applied consistently over the last three fiscal years.
Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets
Description
Intangible assets represent a significant portion of our consolidated balance sheet as a result of current and past acquisitions. Intangible assets primarily include customer intangibles, trademarks, unpatented technologies, and patents. The fair value of acquired intangible assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, and the Company may engage third-party appraisal firms to assist with the determination of fair values of significant intangible assets. The valuation of intangible assets is performed at the time of acquisition and may change during the acquisition measurement period until the valuation is finalized. The fair value of finite-lived intangible assets is subsequently amortized over the estimated useful life.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
The significant assumptions used in the valuation of customer intangibles include future cash flows, customer attrition rate, and discount rate. The significant assumptions for the valuation of trademarks include future revenues, royalty rate, and discount rate. The significant assumptions for the valuation of unpatented technologies and patents include future revenues, obsolescence rate, royalty rate, and discount rate. The assumptions and estimates used in the valuation of these intangible assets are based on several factors, including historical experience with similar businesses and industries and information obtained from operating company management.
48

Table of Contents
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
While we believe the assumptions used in our valuation of intangible assets are reasonable and representative of expected results, actual results may differ from these assumptions. While the assumptions used for each acquisition are dependent on the acquired company, the assumptions have been applied using a consistent methodology over the last three fiscal years.
Goodwill Impairment
Description
Goodwill is the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist, or when a change in the composition of reporting units for goodwill occurs for other reasons, such as a disposition or a change in segments. The impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value reflects the price a potential market participant would be willing to pay for the reporting unit in an arms-length transaction.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
The significant assumptions in the fair value analysis of goodwill are the estimated future cash flows and the discount rate. The determination of future cash flows involves significant judgment and is primarily driven by forecasted revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins for the reporting unit. These assumptions are developed based on the reporting unit’s expected future performance, which considers historical performance. We use a discount rate commensurate with the inherent risks in our internally developed forecasts of future cash flows. The discount rate may also fluctuate due to market conditions such as rising interest rates.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
While we believe the assumptions used in our annual impairment analysis are reasonable and representative of expected results and reflective of a market participant, actual results may differ from these assumptions. The methodology used for the goodwill impairment test has remained consistent over the last three fiscal years.
Valuation of Pension Benefit Obligation
Description
The pension benefit obligation is actuarially determined in accordance with GAAP and is impacted by assumptions used to estimate the obligation, namely the discount rate. Annually, we review the actuarial assumptions used and compare the assumptions to third-party benchmarks to ensure that the selected assumptions accurately account for our future pension benefit obligations.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
Our discount rate assumptions are determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities matching the plans’ expected benefit payment streams. The plans’ expected cash flows are then discounted by the resulting year-by-year discount rates. The 2024 weighted-average discount rate used to measure our pension benefit obligations for non-US plans decreased to 2.64% from 2.80% in 2023 due to a decrease in interest rates. The U.S. Plan discount rate increased to 5.70% from 5.20% in 2023 due to increases in corporate bond yields over this period.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
A 25-basis point decrease in the discount rates used for these plans would have increased pension benefit obligations by approximately $15.3 million from the amount recorded at December 31, 2024. The methodology used for the valuation of the pension benefit obligation has remained consistent over the last three fiscal years.
Recoverability of Deferred Income Tax Assets and Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Description
We operate in and are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions and are subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and non-U.S. tax authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets and evaluating unrecognized tax benefits.
49

Table of Contents
We have significant amounts of deferred tax assets that are evaluated for recoverability and valued accordingly. Management evaluates the realizability of deferred income tax assets for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. We record valuation allowances to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets to amounts that we expect are more likely than not to be realized.
The provision for unrecognized tax benefits provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for determining the financial statement tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosure requirements regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. Additionally, significant judgment is required in the identification and measurement of unrecognized tax benefits. Our liability for unrecognized tax benefits contains uncertainties because management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various filing positions.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ and result in additional tax expense or benefit. If we determine a valuation allowance should be recognized to reduce the carrying value of a deferred tax asset or a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit needs to be recorded, the adjustment would result in a change to tax expense in the period such determination is made. We have not made any material changes in the process we use to assess valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits over the last three fiscal years.
Contingencies
Description
Liabilities are established for environmental and legal contingencies at both the business and corporate levels. A significant amount of judgment and the use of estimates are required to quantify our ultimate exposure in these matters.
Judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimate
The valuation of liabilities for these contingencies is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that we have accrued the proper level of expense. The liability balances are adjusted to account for changes in circumstances for ongoing issues and the establishment of additional liabilities for emerging issues. Estimates used in the valuations include the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and currently accrued to-date and consider the availability and extent of insurance coverage. Such liability balances contain uncertainties due to new developments regarding the facts and circumstances of each proceeding, changes in applicable laws and regulations, and other future events and decisions by third parties that may impact the ultimate resolution of a proceeding.
Effect if actual results differ from assumptions
Although we believe that the amount accrued to-date is adequate, future changes in circumstances could impact these determinations, and we may be exposed to a material loss. For example, to the extent we prevail in matters for which a liability has been established or are required to pay amounts in excess of our established liability, our contingent liability in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. However, the Company does not believe that it is currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP information, which we believe provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow as a percentage of earnings from continuing operations, net debt, net capitalization, net debt to net capitalization ratio, adjusted working capital, and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt or equity, working capital or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We believe the net debt to net capitalization ratio and free cash flow are important measures of liquidity. Net debt to net capitalization is helpful in evaluating our capital structure and the amount of leverage we employ. Free cash flow and free cash flow ratios provide both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase our common stock. We believe that reporting adjusted working capital provides a meaningful measure of liquidity by showing changes caused by operational results. We believe that reporting organic revenue growth provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.
Reconciliations and comparisons to non-GAAP measures can be found above in this Item 7, MD&A.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dover Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dover Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of comprehensive earnings, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
54

Table of Contents
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill Impairment Test
As described in Notes 1 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $4.906 billion as of December 31, 2024. Management performs a goodwill impairment test annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, when some portion but not all of a reporting unit is disposed of or classified as assets held for sale, or when a change in the composition of reporting units occurs for other reasons. The quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Management uses an income-based valuation method, determining the present value of estimated future cash flows, to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. As disclosed by management, the significant assumptions in the fair value analysis of goodwill are the estimated future cash flows, which are primarily driven by forecasted revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, and the discount rate. These assumptions are developed by management based on the reporting unit’s expected future performance, which considers historical performance.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment test is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the reporting units and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumption related to forecasted revenue growth rates for certain reporting units.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the reporting units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the reporting units; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income-based valuation method; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the income-based valuation method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumption used by management related to forecasted revenue growth rates for certain reporting units. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumption related to forecasted revenue growth rates for certain reporting units involved considering (i) the current and prior period performance of those reporting units and (ii) the consistency of those forecasted revenue growth rates with external market and/or industry data.

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Dover Corporation ("Dover" or "Company") is a diversified global manufacturer and solutions provider delivering innovative equipment and components, consumable supplies, aftermarket parts, software and digital solutions and support services. The Company's businesses are based primarily in the United States and Europe with manufacturing and other operations throughout the world. The Company operates through five business segments that are structured around businesses with similar business models, go-to market strategies, product categories and manufacturing practices: Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions and Climate & Sustainability Technologies. For additional information on the Company's segments, see Note 19 — Segment Information.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included from the dates of acquisitions.
The Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, was sold during the fourth quarter of 2024 and reported as discontinued operations. Therefore, the Company has classified the results of operations prior to the sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings and the consolidated statements of cash flows and classified the assets and liabilities prior to the sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The discussion in the notes to these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, relates solely to our continuing operations. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations for further details.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates may be adjusted due to changes in future economic, industry, or customer financial conditions, as well as changes in technology or demand. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, net realizable value of inventories, restructuring reserves, warranty reserves, pension and post-retirement plans, stock-based compensation, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets including finite-lived intangibles, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits, contingencies and purchase price allocations. Actual results may differ from these estimates, although management does not believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual year. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of changes in these estimates and assumptions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period that they are determined.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments, which are highly liquid in nature and have original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at face amounts less an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is an estimate based on historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts receivable. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of its customers and all other forward-looking information that is reasonably available to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision. See Note 8 — Credit Losses for additional information.

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis, or net realizable value.
Through the third quarter of 2023, approximately 4% of inventories, comprised entirely of ESG inventories, were stated at the lower of cost, determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis, or market. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company changed the method of accounting for these remaining LIFO inventories to FIFO. The cumulative effect of the change resulted in a fourth quarter of 2023 pre-tax benefit of $14,448 ($10,796 after-tax) recognized as an increase to earnings from discontinued operations, net within the consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a corresponding increase in assets of discontinued operations within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The Company believed the FIFO method was preferable because it better reflected the current value of inventories in the consolidated balance sheet and resulted in a uniform method across its businesses, which in turn provided more useful financial information to the Company's investors and creditors.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment includes the historical cost of land, buildings, machinery and equipment, purchased and internally developed software, finance lease assets and significant improvements to existing plant and equipment or, in the case of acquisitions, the fair value of acquired assets. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the gain or loss realized on disposition is reflected in earnings. The Company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements 5 to 31.5 years; machinery and equipment 3 to 15 years; furniture and fixtures 3 to 7 years; vehicles 3 to 7 years; and software 3 to 10 years.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to various risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and does not have a material portfolio of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair value of both the derivatives and of the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings and subsequently recognized in net earnings when the hedged items impact earnings.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives (primarily trademarks) are not amortized. For goodwill, impairment tests are required at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it may be impaired, when some portion but not all of a reporting unit is disposed of or classified as assets held for sale, or when a change in the composition of reporting units occurs for other reasons, such as a change in segments. Based on its current organizational structure, the Company identified reporting units for which cash flows are determinable and to which goodwill was allocated.
The Company performs its goodwill impairment test annually in the fourth quarter. A quantitative test is used to determine existence of goodwill impairment and the amount of the impairment loss at the reporting unit level. The quantitative test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses an income-based valuation method, determining the present value of estimated future cash flows, to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Factors used in the impairment analysis require significant judgment, and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. The Company uses its own market assumptions including internal projections of future cash flows, discount rates and other assumptions considered reasonable
62

Table of Contents
DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
in the analysis and reflective of market participant assumptions. These forecasts are based on historical performance and future estimated results. The discount rates utilized are based on a capital asset pricing model and published relevant industry rates, which take into consideration the risks and uncertainties inherent to the reporting units and in the internally developed forecasts. See Note 9 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further discussion of the Company's annual goodwill impairment test and results. No impairment of goodwill was required for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022.
The Company uses an income-based valuation method to annually test its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The fair value of the intangible asset is compared to its carrying value. This method uses the Company's own market assumptions, which are considered reasonable. Any excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets was required for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022.
Other intangible assets with determinable lives primarily consist of customer intangibles, unpatented technologies, patents and trademarks. The other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 20 years.
Long-lived assets (including definite-lived intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. If an indicator of impairment exists for any grouping of assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows is prepared and compared to its carrying value. If an asset group is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value, as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. The Company has operating and finance leases for corporate offices, manufacturing plants, research and development facilities, shared services facilities, vehicle fleets and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in other assets and deferred charges and operating lease liabilities are included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property, plant and equipment, and the related lease liabilities are included in other accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet.
The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease, such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. As most of the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Finance lease agreements include an interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Fixed operating lease expense and finance lease depreciation expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Supply Chain Financing
The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program with a third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the SCF financial institution and, in addition, may elect to sell receivables due from the Company to the SCF financial institution for early payment. Thus, participating suppliers have additional potential flexibility in managing their liquidity by accelerating, at their option and cost, the collection of receivables due from the Company.
63

Table of Contents
DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
The Company and its suppliers agree on commercial terms, including payment terms, for the goods and services the Company procures, regardless of whether the supplier participates in SCF. For participating suppliers, the Company’s responsibility is limited to making all payments to the SCF financial institution on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier, irrespective of whether the supplier elects to sell receivables to the SCF financial institution. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the SCF financial institution and the Company's suppliers. The SCF financial institution pays the supplier on the invoice due date for any invoices that were not previously sold by the supplier. The agreement between the Company and the SCF financial institution does not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees.
Outstanding payments related to the SCF program are recorded within accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts due to the SCF financial institutions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the rollforward of our outstanding obligations under the SCF program for the year ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

| Total
Balance at December 31, 2023 | $ | 156,245 |
Disposition of business | (2,785) |
Invoices confirmed during the period | 579,481 |
Confirmed invoices paid during the period | (575,968) |
Balance at December 31, 2024 | $ | 156,973 |

Restructuring Accruals
The Company takes actions to reduce headcount, close facilities, or otherwise exit operations. Such restructuring activities at an operation are recorded when management has committed to an exit or reorganization plan and when termination benefits are probable and can be reasonably estimated based on circumstances at the time the restructuring plan is approved by management or when termination benefits are communicated. Exit costs may include contractual terminations and asset impairments as a result of an approved restructuring plan. The accrual of both severance and exit costs requires the use of estimates. Though the Company believes that its estimates accurately reflect the anticipated costs, actual results may be different from the original estimated amounts.
Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates and profit and loss accounts have been translated using weighted-average monthly exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings as a component of other comprehensive earnings (loss). Assets and liabilities of an entity that are denominated in currencies other than an entity's functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency using end of period exchange rates, where applicable. Gains and losses related to these re-measurements are recorded within the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of other income, net. Gains and losses arising from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment in nature are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company's revenue is generated through the manufacture and sale of a broad range of specialized products and components, with revenue recognized upon transfer of control, title and risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment. Service revenue represents approximately 5% of total revenue and is recognized as the services are performed. In limited cases, revenue arrangements with customers require delivery, installation, testing, certification, or other acceptance provisions to be satisfied before revenue is recognized. The Company includes shipping costs billed to customers in revenue and the related shipping costs in cost of goods and services.
Stock-Based Compensation
The principal awards issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans include non-qualified stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance share awards ("PSAs"). The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. At the time of grant, the Company estimates forfeitures,
64

Table of Contents
DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
based on historical experience, in order to estimate the portion of the award that will ultimately vest. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to ultimately vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three years (except for retirement-eligible employees) and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. Expense for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees is recorded over the period from the date of grant through the date the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service. See Note 15 — Equity and Cash Incentive Program for additional information related to the Company's stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes. Tax credits, primarily for research and experimentation, are recognized as a reduction of the provision for income taxes in the year in which they are available for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided using enacted rates on the future tax consequences of temporary differences. Temporary differences include the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and the tax benefit of carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax benefit will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence, including the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback periods, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be affected by changes to tax regulations, interpretations and rulings, changes to enacted statutory tax rates and changes to future taxable income estimates.
Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position in consideration of applicable tax statutes and related interpretations and precedents. Tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized on ultimate settlement.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred and amounted to $149,601 in 2024, $139,058 in 2023 and $151,351 in 2022. These costs as a percent of revenue were 1.9% in 2024, 1.8% in 2023 and 1.9% in 2022. Research and development costs are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and amounted to $23,166 in 2024, $22,112 in 2023 and $24,421 in 2022. Advertising costs are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Risk, Retention, Insurance
The Company's insurance programs contain various deductibles that, based on the Company's experience, are typical and customary for a company of its size and risk profile. The Company does not consider any of the deductibles to represent a material risk to the Company. The Company generally maintains insurance policies with deductibles for claims and liabilities related primarily to workers' compensation, health and welfare claims, general liability, product and automobile liability, cybersecurity risks, property damage and business interruption resulting from certain events. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated.

The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The amendments in this update require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The Company adopted the guidance when it became effective on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which was adopted when it became effective January 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See required disclosure within the Supply Chain Financing section of Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendment requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets.

The Company adopted the guidance during the fourth quarter of 2024. See Note 19 — Segment Information for further details.
2. Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
A majority of the Company's revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments within one year from order. A small portion of the Company's revenue derives from contracts extending over one year. The Company's payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days and vary by the location of businesses, the type of products manufactured to be sold and the volume of products sold, among other factors.
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by segment and geographic location, as they best depict the nature and amount of the Company's revenue. See Note 19 — Segment Information for further details.
Performance Obligations
A majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, in most cases, the equipment or product being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation, extended warranty, software and digital solutions, and/or maintenance services. These contracts require judgment in determining the number of performance obligations.
The Company has elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer, and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less. Thus, the Company may not consider an advance payment to be a significant financing component, if it is received less than one year before product completion.
66

DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
The majority of the Company's contracts offer assurance-type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to a customer. Assurance-type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the related product will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.
The Company may also offer service-type warranties that provide services to the customer, in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications. If a warranty is determined to be a service-type warranty, it represents a distinct service and is treated as a separate performance obligation.
Estimates are used to determine the amount of variable consideration in contracts, the standalone selling price among separate performance obligations and the measure of progress for contracts where revenue is recognized over time. The Company reviews and updates these estimates regularly.
Some contracts with customers include variable consideration primarily related to volume rebates. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to determine the total consideration which the Company expects to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company's estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company uses an observable price to determine the standalone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available.
Approximately 95% of the Company's revenue is recognized at a point in time, rather than over time, as the Company completes its performance obligations. Specifically, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, certification, or other substantive acceptance provisions required under the contract. Approximately 5% of the Company's revenue is recognized over time and relates to the sale of equipment or services, including software solutions and services, in which the Company transfers control of a good or service over time and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs, or the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for its performance to date plus a reasonable margin.
For revenue recognized over time, there are two types of methods for measuring progress and both are relevant to the Company: (1) input methods and (2) output methods. Although this may vary by business, input methods generally are based on costs incurred relative to estimated total costs. Output methods generally are based on a measurement of progress, such as milestone achievement. The businesses use the method and measure of progress that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer of the goods or services to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
At December 31, 2024, we estimated that $186,829 in revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period. We expect to recognize approximately 53.6% of the Company's unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations as revenue in 2025, 22.0% in 2026, with the remaining balance to be recognized in 2027 and thereafter.
Remaining consideration, including variable consideration, from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented in the preceding paragraph and pertains to contracts with multiple performance obligations, extended warranties on products and multi-year agreements, which are typically recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company applied the standard's practical expedient that permits the omission of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

Contract Balances
The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

|  | December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Contract assets - current |  | $ | 22,413 |  |  | $ | 19,561 |  |  | $ | 11,074 |
Contract liabilities - current |  | 198,629 |  |  | 194,798 |  |  | 241,595 |
Contract liabilities - non-current |  | 4,452 |  |  | 7,098 |  |  | 6,417 |

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date and are recorded in prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers or advance billings for which revenue has not been recognized. Current contract liabilities are recorded in deferred revenue and non-current contract liabilities are recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized.
The revenue recognized during 2024 and 2023 that was included in the contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods amounted to $182,846 and $224,355, respectively.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services in the consolidated statements of earnings.
3. Acquisitions
2024 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired eight businesses in separate transactions for total consideration of $674,005, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments and contingent consideration of $38,736 (a non-cash financing activity). These businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Clean Energy & Fueling, Engineered Products, Imaging & Identification and Pumps and Process Solutions segments. The goodwill recorded as a result of these acquisitions represents the economic benefits expected to be derived from product line expansions and operational synergies. Goodwill of $14,188 is deductible for income tax purposes and $323,063 is non-deductible for income tax purposes for these acquisitions. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances, are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related tax balances.
On July 19, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in the Marshall Excelsior Company ("MEC"), a supplier of highly-engineered flow control components for transportation, storage, and use in liquefied petroleum gas and other industrial gases, for $395,809, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments. The MEC acquisition expands the Company's critical flow control capabilities in the Clean Energy & Fueling segment. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $187,923 and intangible assets of $194,100, primarily related to customer intangibles. The fair value for customer intangibles at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates.

4. Discontinued and 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.
Discontinued Operations
On October 8, 2024 the Company completed the sale of the ESG business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, to Terex Corporation for total consideration, net of cash transferred, of $2.0 billion, an investing activity of discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. This sale resulted in a preliminary pre-tax gain on disposition of $1.6 billion ($1.2 billion after-tax), included within earnings from discontinued operations, net in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. The preliminary total consideration and preliminary pre-tax gain on disposition are subject to standard working capital adjustments. The ESG sale qualifies for discontinued operations reporting because its disposal represented a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized additions of $337,251 and $227,761, respectively, to goodwill as a result of acquisitions as discussed in Note 3 — Acquisitions.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company disposed of goodwill related to the disposition of De-Sta-Co that was previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations for further information.
Annual impairment testing
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year, whenever events or circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred, or when a change in the composition of reporting units occurs for other reasons, such as a change in segments.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2024 using a discounted cash flow analysis as discussed in Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for each of its reporting units, concluding that the fair values of all of its reporting units were in excess of their carrying values. No impairment of goodwill was required. The discounted cash flow analysis includes management's current assumptions as to future cash flows and long-term growth rates. The discount rates utilized are based on a capital asset pricing model and published relevant industry rates, which take into consideration the risks and uncertainties inherent to the reporting units and in the internally developed forecasts. The discount rate used in the 2024 reporting unit valuations was 10.1%. Further, the Company assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the amount of headroom in the 2024 impairment test.
While the Company believes the assumptions used in the 2024 impairment analysis are reasonable and representative of expected results, actual results may differ from expectations.

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
The discounts are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the issuances. The deferred issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt, as this approximates the effective interest method.
On April 6, 2023, the Company entered into new $1.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility and on April 4, 2024, the Company entered into a new $500.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the "Credit Agreements") with a syndicate of banks. The current 364-day credit facility replaced the previous $500.0 million 364-day credit facility, which expired on April 4, 2024. The lenders' commitments under the Credit Agreements will terminate and any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreements will mature on April 6, 2028 and April 3, 2025, respectively. The Company may elect to extend the maturity date of any loans under the new 364-day credit facility until April 3, 2026, subject to conditions specified therein. The Credit Agreements are designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company's commercial paper program and also are available for general corporate purposes. At the Company's election, loans under the Credit Agreements will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreements require the Company to pay facility fees and impose various restrictions on the Company such as, among other things, a requirement to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the five-year, current or previous 364-day credit facilities.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreements and other long-term debt covenants at December 31, 2024 and had an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 42.5 to 1.
As of December 31, 2024, the future maturities of long-term debt were as follows:

| Future Maturities
2025 | $ | 400,000 |
2026 | 624,350 |
2027 | 520,291 |
2028 | 200,000 |
2029 | 300,000 |
2030 and thereafter | 900,000 |
Total | $ | 2,944,641 |

Letters of Credit and other Guarantees
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $160.0 million outstanding in letters of credit, surety bonds, and performance and other guarantees which primarily expire on various dates through 2035. These letters of credit and bonds are primarily issued as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which is believed to be remote.
13. Financial Instruments
Derivatives
The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations and certain commodity risks. In order to manage these risks, the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted sales and purchases, which occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had contracts with total notional amounts of $142,835 and $171,425, respectively, to exchange currencies, principally euro, pound sterling, Swedish krona, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and Swiss franc. The Company believes it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur.
In addition, the Company had outstanding contracts with a total notional amount of $75,784 and $84,867 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that are not designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are used to

Table of Contents
DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
reduce the Company's exposure for operating receivables and payables that are denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:

| Fair Value Asset (Liability) |  |
| December 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | Balance Sheet Caption
Foreign currency forward | $ | 2,258 |  |  | $ | 1,675 |  |  | Prepaid and other current assets
Foreign currency forward | (888) |  |  | (874) |  |  | Other accrued expenses

For a cash flow hedge, the change in estimated fair value of a hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of tax as a separate component of the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and is reclassified into revenues or cost of goods and services in the consolidated statements of earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction is settled. The amount of gains or losses from hedging activity recorded in earnings is not significant and the amount of unrealized gains and losses from cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not significant; therefore, additional tabular disclosures are not presented. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the Company's derivative instruments that are subject to credit risk contingent features were not significant.
The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the financial instrument contracts held by the Company; however, nonperformance by these counterparties is considered unlikely as the Company's policy is to contract with highly-rated, diversified counterparties.
The Company has designated the €600,000 and €500,000 of euro-denominated notes issued November 9, 2016 and November 4, 2019, respectively, as hedges of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive earnings (loss) of the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings to offset changes in the value of the net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt resulting from exchange rate differences are offset by changes in the net investment due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged.
Amounts recognized in other comprehensive earnings for the gains (losses) on net investment hedges were as follows:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Gain (loss) on euro-denominated debt | $ | 66,789 |  |  | $ | (45,805) |  |  | $ | 80,301 |
Tax (expense) benefit | (14,996) |  |  | 10,438 |  |  | (17,824) |
Net gain (loss) on net investment hedges, net of tax | $ | 51,793 |  |  | $ | (35,367) |  |  | $ | 62,477 |

Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

|  |  | December 31, 2024 |  |  |  | December 31, 2023
|  |  | Level 2 |  |  |  |  |  | Level 2 |  |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency cash flow hedges |  |  | $ | 2,258 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,675 |  |  |
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency cash flow hedges |  |  | 888 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 874 |  |  |

The derivative contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company's financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2,492,535 and $2,950,401, respectively. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $47,301 of deferred tax assets recorded related to U.S. federal and state tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. The U.S. federal and state tax losses and credits as of December 31, 2024 are available to be carried forward, with $41,840 expiring during the years 2025 through 2044, and the remaining $5,461 carried forward indefinitely.
The Company maintains valuation allowances by jurisdiction against the deferred tax assets related to certain of these carryforwards for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all will not be realized. The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Company's valuation allowance on deferred tax assets:

| Total
Balance at January 1, 2022 | $ | 306,066 |
Additions | 4,960 |

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company files U.S federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns. The Company is routinely audited by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions, and a number of audits are currently underway. It is reasonably possible during the next twelve months that uncertain tax positions may be settled, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits. This decrease may result in an income tax benefit. Due to the potential for resolution of U.S federal, state and non-U.S. examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $3,699. All significant U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. matters have been concluded through 2021. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties.

15. Equity and Cash Incentive Program
The Company typically makes its annual grants of equity awards pursuant to actions taken by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting. For the years presented herein, employee awards were made pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") and 2012 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan").
On May 7, 2021, the shareholders approved the 2021 Plan, to replace the 2012 Plan, which otherwise would have terminated according to its terms on May 3, 2022. Upon approval of the 2021 Plan, no additional awards could be granted under the 2012 Plan, and the remaining 4,888,197 shares available for additional award grant purposes became available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for stock options and SARs, RSUs, PSAs, cash performance awards, directors' shares and deferred stock units. Under the 2021 Plan, a total of 8,300,000 newly authorized shares of common stock are reserved for issuance, resulting in a total of 13,188,197 authorized shares available for issuance. These shares are subject to adjustments resulting from stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations and other similar changes.
Officers and other key employees, as well as non-employee directors, are eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan, and were also eligible under the 2012 Plan which had a ten-year term between May 3, 2012 to May 3, 2022.
Stock-based compensation costs are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. The following table summarizes the Company's compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans:

Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax | $ | 36,567 |  |  | $ | 27,660 |  |  | $ | 27,248 |

Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense attributable to discontinued operations was $673, $699 and $746 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These expenses are included within stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity. See Note 4 — Discontinued and Disposed Operations for further details.
SARs
The exercise price per share for SARs is equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. New common shares are issued when SARs are exercised. The period during which SARs are exercisable is fixed by the Company's Compensation Committee at the time of grant. Generally, the SARs vest after three years of service and expire at the end of ten years.

In 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued SARs covering 355,685, 359,715 and 335,285 shares, respectively. The fair value of each SAR grant was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Risk-free interest rate | 4.13 | % |  | 3.91 | % |  | 1.86 | %
Dividend yield | 1.28 | % |  | 1.32 | % |  | 1.25 | %
Expected life (years) | 5.5 |  | 5.4 |  | 5.4
Volatility | 31.32 | % |  | 30.65 | % |  | 29.46 | %
Grant price | $160.11 |  | $153.25 |  | $160.21
Fair value per share at date of grant | $51.17 |  | $47.27 |  | $42.07

Expected volatilities are based on Dover's stock price history, including implied volatilities from traded options on Dover stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate SAR exercise and employee termination patterns within the valuation model. The expected life of SARs granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the average period of time that SARs granted are expected to be outstanding. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the awards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
A summary of activity relating to SARs granted under the 2021 Plan and the 2012 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2024 | 2,409,610 |  |  | $ | 109.65 |  |  |  |  |
Granted | 355,685 |  |  | 160.11 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited / expired | (53,889) |  |  | 157.74 |  |  |  |  |
Exercised | (309,760) |  |  | 86.27 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 2,401,646 |  |  | 119.11 |  |  | 5.6 |  | $ | 164,481 |
Exercisable at December 31, 2024 | 1,468,033 |  |  | $ | 94.54 |  |  | 4.0 |  | $ | 136,613 |

Unrecognized compensation expense related to SARs not yet exercisable was $8,387 at December 31, 2024. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
Other information regarding the exercise of SARs is listed below:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Fair value of SARs that became exercisable | $ | 9,629 |  |  | $ | 7,492 |  |  | $ | 8,939 |
Aggregate intrinsic value of SARs exercised | 28,833 |  |  | 26,041 |  |  | 11,992 |

PSAs
PSAs granted are expensed over the three-year requisite performance and service period. Awards become vested if (1) the Company achieves certain conditions, discussed below, and (2) the employee remains continuously employed by the Company during the performance period. Partial vesting may occur after separation from service in the case of certain terminations not for cause and for retirements.
In 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued PSAs covering 43,602, 43,656 and 40,087 shares, respectively.
The PSAs granted in 2024 vest based on the attainment of two equally weighted measures: (i) Dover’s performance relative to established internal metrics (performance condition) and (ii) Dover's performance relative to its peer group (companies listed under the S&P 500 Industrials sector; market condition). The PSAs granted in 2023 and 2022 vest solely on the attainment of Dover's performance relative to its peer group (same aforementioned market condition).

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
The grant date fair value of the performance condition portion is determined using Dover’s closing stock price at the date of grant and the amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is subject to adjustment based on the expected attainment of the performance condition. The fair value per share at the date of grant for the 2024 performance condition portion is $177.19.
The grant date fair value of the 2024 market condition portion, and all 2023 and 2022 PSAs, is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is not subject to change based on future market conditions. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo model to determine the fair value of the PSAs granted in the respective periods were as follows:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Risk-free interest rate | 4.37 | % |  | 4.28 | % |  | 1.68 | %
Dividend yield | 1.15 | % |  | 1.32 | % |  | 1.25 | %
Expected life (years) | 2.8 |  | 2.9 |  | 2.9
Volatility | 23.30 | % |  | 27.30 | % |  | 31.10 | %
Grant price | $177.19 |  | $153.25 |  | $160.21
Fair value per share at date of grant | $287.62 |  | $249.48 |  | $196.40

A summary of activity for PSAs for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested at January 1, 2024 | 77,761 |  |  | $ | 224.42 |
Granted | 43,602 |  |  | 232.41 |
Forfeited | (2,938) |  |  | 232.71 |

Unvested at December 31, 2024 | 79,075 |  |  | $ | 240.59 |

Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PSAs as of December 31, 2024 was $10,235, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
RSUs
The Company also has restricted stock authorized for grant. Common stock of the Company may be granted at no cost to certain officers and key employees. In general, restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares during a three-year period, and restrictions lapse proportionately over the three-year period. The Company granted 94,307, 91,439 and 79,556 of RSUs in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of these awards was determined using Dover's closing stock price on the date of grant, which was $160.11, $153.25, and $160.21 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net shares issued | 3,017 |  |  | 3,822 |  |  | 3,483 |

16. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Guarantees
The Company has provided typical indemnities in connection with sales of certain businesses and assets, including representations and warranties and related indemnities for environmental, health and safety, tax and employment matters. The Company does not have any material liabilities recorded for these indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities.
Litigation
A few of the Company's subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings relating to the cleanup of waste disposal sites identified under federal and state statutes which provide for the allocation of such costs among "potentially responsible parties." In each instance, the extent of the Company's liability appears to be relatively insignificant in relation to the total projected expenditures and the number of other "potentially responsible parties" involved and is anticipated to be immaterial to the Company. In addition, a few of the Company's subsidiaries are involved in ongoing remedial activities at certain current and former plant sites, in cooperation with regulatory agencies, and appropriate estimated liabilities have been established. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these estimated liabilities for environmental and other matters, including private party claims for exposure to hazardous substances that are probable and estimable, were not significant. See Note 10 — Other Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities for additional details.
The Company and some of its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to their businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of the Company's products, patent infringement, employment matters and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel, at least quarterly, review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and currently accrued to-date and consider the availability and extent of insurance coverage. The Company has estimated liabilities for these other legal matters that are probable and estimable, and at December 31, 2024 and 2023, these estimated liabilities were immaterial. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions, in the opinion of management, based on the aforementioned reviews, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

17. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company offers defined contribution retirement plans which cover the majority of its U.S. employees, as well as employees in certain other countries. The Company’s expense relating to defined contribution plans was $61,384, $56,597 and $53,508 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company sponsors qualified defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The plans' benefits are generally based on years of service and employee compensation. The Company also provides to certain management employees, through non-qualified plans, supplemental retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law.
The U.S. qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans were closed to new employees after December 31, 2013. All pension-eligible employees as of December 31, 2013 continued to earn a pension benefit through December 31, 2023 as long as they remained employed by the Company participating in the impacted plans. Effective January 1, 2024, the plans have been frozen for any future benefit accruals.
The Company also maintains other post-retirement benefit plans. These plans are closed to new entrants and are not considered to be significant. The supplemental and other post-retirement benefit plans are supported by the general assets of the Company.

The Company's discount rate assumption is determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities matching the plans' expected benefit payment streams. The plans' expected cash flows are then discounted by the resulting year-by-year discount rates.
Plan Assets
The primary financial objective of the plans is to secure participant retirement benefits. Accordingly, the key objective in the plans' financial management is to promote stability and, to the extent appropriate, growth in the funded status. Related and supporting financial objectives are established in conjunction with a review of current and projected plan financial requirements.
As it relates to the funded defined benefit pension plans, the Company's funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and applicable international laws. The Company is responsible for overseeing the management of the investments of the plans' assets and otherwise ensuring that the plans' investment programs are in compliance with ERISA, other relevant legislation and the related plan documents. Where relevant, the Company has retained professional investment managers to manage the plans' assets and implement the investment process. The investment managers, in implementing their investment processes, have the authority and responsibility to select appropriate investments in the asset classes specified by the terms of their applicable prospectus or investment manager agreements with the plans.
The assets of the plans are invested to achieve an appropriate return for the plans consistent with a prudent level of risk. The plans' long-term investment objective is to generate investment returns that provide adequate assets to meet all benefit obligations in accordance with applicable regulations. The expected return on assets assumption used for net periodic benefit cost is developed through analysis of historical and forecasted market returns, statistical analysis, current market conditions and the past experience of plan asset investments.

The Company's actual and target weighted average asset allocation for our U.S. Qualified Defined Benefits Plan was as follows:

| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | Current Target
Return-seeking investments | 30 | % |  | 28 | % |  | 30 | %
Liability hedging investments | 70 | % |  | 72 | % |  | 70 | %
Total | 100 | % |  | 100 | % |  | 100 | %

Return-seeking investments include diversified foreign and domestic equities, U.S. high yield fixed income investments, and emerging market debt. Liability hedging investments primarily include a diversified portfolio of U.S. long duration fixed income assets. While the non-U.S. investment policies are different for each country, the long-term objectives are generally the same as for the U.S. pension assets.
The fair values of both U.S. and non-U.S. pension plan assets by asset category within the fair value hierarchy (as defined in Note 13 — Financial Instruments) were as follows:

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
Mutual funds are categorized as either Level 1, 2 or Net Asset Value ("NAV") as a practical expedient depending on the nature of the observable inputs. Collective funds and short-term investment funds are valued using NAV as a practical expedient as of the last business day of the year. The NAV is based on the underlying value of the assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The availability of observable data is monitored by plan management to assess appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Depending upon the availability of such inputs, specific securities may transfer between levels. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value measurement of plan assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) changed during 2023 and 2024, due to the following:

| Level 3

20. Earnings per Share
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the information used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

| Years Ended December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Earnings from continuing operations | $ | 1,399,968 |  |  | $ | 943,864 |  |  | $ | 989,912 |
Earnings from discontinued operations, net | 1,297,158 |  |  | 112,964 |  |  | 75,464 |
Net earnings | $ | 2,697,126 |  |  | $ | 1,056,828 |  |  | $ | 1,065,376 |
Basic earnings per common share: |  |  |  |  |
Earnings from continuing operations | $ | 10.16 |  |  | $ | 6.75 |  |  | $ | 6.94 |
Earnings from discontinued operations, net | $ | 9.42 |  |  | $ | 0.81 |  |  | $ | 0.53 |
Net earnings | $ | 19.58 |  |  | $ | 7.56 |  |  | $ | 7.47 |
Weighted average basic shares outstanding | 137,735,000 |  |  | 139,848,000 |  |  | 142,681,000 |
Diluted earnings per common share: |  |  |  |  |
Earnings from continuing operations | $ | 10.09 |  |  | $ | 6.71 |  |  | $ | 6.89 |
Earnings from discontinued operations, net | $ | 9.35 |  |  | $ | 0.80 |  |  | $ | 0.53 |
Net earnings | $ | 19.45 |  |  | $ | 7.52 |  |  | $ | 7.42 |
Weighted average shares outstanding | 138,696,000 |  |  | 140,599,000 |  |  | 143,595,000 |

The following table is a reconciliation of the share amounts used in computing earnings per share:

| Years Ended December 31,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Weighted average shares outstanding - Basic | 137,735,000 |  |  | 139,848,000 |  |  | 142,681,000 |
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of SARs and vesting of PSAs and RSUs | 961,000 |  |  | 751,000 |  |  | 914,000 |
Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted | 138,696,000 |  |  | 140,599,000 |  |  | 143,595,000 |

Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of SARs and vesting of PSAs and RSUs, as determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above totaled 48,000, 48,000 and 21,173, respectively.
21. Stockholders' Equity
Share Repurchases
In November 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a standing share repurchase authorization whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 20 million shares beginning on January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.
On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a $500,000 accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "2022 ASR Agreement") with Bank of America N.A. ("Bank of America") to repurchase its shares in an accelerated share repurchase program (the "2022 ASR Program"). The 2022 ASR Program is classified as equity, initially recorded at fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company conducted the 2022 ASR Program under the November 2020 share repurchase authorization. The Company funded the 2022 ASR Program with net proceeds from commercial paper.
Under the terms of the 2022 ASR Agreement, the Company paid Bank of America $500,000 on September 1, 2022 and on that date received initial deliveries of 3,201,025 shares, representing a substantial majority of the shares expected to be retired over the course of the 2022 ASR Program. In December 2022, Bank of America delivered 691,270 additional shares which completed the 2022 ASR Program. During 2022, the Company received a total of 3,892,295 shares upon completion of the 2022 ASR Program. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the 2022 ASR Program was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the 2022 ASR Program, less a discount, which was $128.46 over the term of the 2022 ASR Program.

This share repurchase authorization replaced the November 2020 share repurchase authorization.
On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a $500,000 accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "2024 ASR Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") to repurchase its shares in an accelerated share repurchase program (the "2024 ASR Program"). The 2024 ASR Program is classified as equity, initially recorded at fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company conducted the 2024 ASR Program under the current share repurchase authorization. The Company funded the 2024 ASR Program with net proceeds from commercial paper.
Under the terms of the 2024 ASR Agreement, the Company paid Citibank $500,000 on March 1, 2024 and on that date received initial delivery of 2,569,839 shares, representing a substantial majority of the shares expected to be retired over the course of the 2024 ASR Program. In July 2024, Citibank delivered 299,443 additional shares which completed the 2024 ASR Program totaling 2,869,282 repurchased shares. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the 2024 ASR Program was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the 2024 ASR Program, less a discount, which was $174.26 over the term of the ASR Program.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
i.pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
ii.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and
iii.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management's report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting is included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods is subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
