12. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 19.0% and 20.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily driven by a gain on disposition in the prior year.

Dover and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S., including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions. We believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The Company is routinely audited by taxing
authorities in its filing jurisdictions, and a number of these audits are currently underway. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0 to $3,699.
