NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules for interim periods, do not include all of the information and notes for complete financial statements as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Dover Corporation ("Dover" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 , which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

As discussed in Note 4 Discontinued Operations , the Company reclassified two businesses within the Engineered Systems segment to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 based on its intention to divest these businesses. Therefore, the Company has classified the results of operations, cash flows, and related assets and liabilities for these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

It is the opinion of management that these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

2. 2014 Spin-off of Knowles Corporation ("Knowles")

On February 28, 2014, Dover completed the distribution of Knowles to its stockholders. The transaction was completed through the pro rata distribution of 100% of the common stock of Knowles to Dover's shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 19, 2014. Each Dover shareholder received one share of Knowles common stock for every two shares of Dover common stock held as of the record date.

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities distributed to Knowles as part of the separation on February 28, 2014:



Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	40,045
Other current assets	340,945
Non-current assets	1,678,820
	$	2,059,810

Liabilities:
Current liabilities	$	252,673
Non-current liabilities	383,940
	$	636,613

Net assets distributed to Knowles Corporation	$	1,423,197

Knowles incurred $100,000 of borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $300,000 of borrowings under its term loan facility to finance a cash payment of $400,000 to Dover immediately prior to the distribution. Dover received total net cash of $359,955

upon separation, of which $359,197 was received during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which reflects cash held by Knowles on the distribution date and retained by it in connection with its separation from Dover. Dover utilized the net proceeds from Knowles to pay down commercial paper and to repurchase shares of its common stock in 2014.

In addition to the net assets reflected above, the Company also allocated approximately $26,695 of accumulated other comprehensive earnings to Knowles, relating primarily to foreign currency translation gains, offset by unrecognized losses on pension obligations. Also, the Company was required to reallocate a portion of its goodwill from continuing operations to a reporting unit included in the Knowles distribution.

The historical results of Knowles, including the results of operations, cash flows, and related assets and liabilities have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. See Note 4 Discontinued Operations .

3. Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company acquired a product line in the Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment for a net cash consideration of $6,500 . The Company assigned $2,076 to goodwill, $2,500 to customer intangibles, and $300 to other intangibles. Useful lives for customer and other intangibles were 7 years and 3 years, respectively. The goodwill identified by this acquisition reflects the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies. Upon consummation of the acquisition, this business is now wholly-owned by Dover.

The Company has substantially completed the purchase price allocation for the 2015 acquisition. However, if additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; any such revisions are not expected to be significant.

The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings include the results of this business from the date of acquisition.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the impact of both 2015 and 2014 acquisitions on the Company’s revenue and earnings from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 . In 2014, the Company acquired Heidelberg CSAT GmbH, MS Printing Solutions, Timberline Manufacturing Company, WellMark Holdings, Inc., SweatMiser, and Liquip International for total consideration of $366,532 , and Accelerated Companies for consideration of $435,722 .

The 2015 and 2014 pro forma information assumes that the 2015 and 2014 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of the prior year. Pro forma earnings are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of tax) resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets relating to 2015 and 2014 acquisitions.

4. Discontinued Operations

On March 2, 2015, the Company completed the sale of Datamax O'Neil for total proceeds of $185,000 , which resulted in a net gain on sale of $87,781 , of which $87,354 was recognized in the first quarter of 2015. On April 24, 2015, the Company completed the sale of Sargent Aerospace for total proceeds of $500,000 , which resulted in a net gain on sale of $177,800 . These businesses were previously included in the results of the Engineered Systems segment and were reclassified to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 in connection with their impending sale at that time.

The results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 reflect the net earnings of these businesses prior to their respective sale dates. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also include the historical results of Knowles prior to its distribution on February 28, 2014. Costs incurred by Dover to complete the spin-off of Knowles totaled $26,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , which are also reflected in the results of discontinued operations. See also

(1)	Amount reflects additional goodwill allocated to Sargent Aerospace upon its disposition, based on the fair value of this business relative to the remaining entities within the Engineered Systems segment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recorded adjustments totaling $8,152 to goodwill relating to the finalization of the purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2014 acquisition of Accelerated Companies. The Company will continue to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately; however, any such revisions are not expected to be significant.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangibles" provides guidance on an entity's subsequent measurement and recognition of goodwill and other intangibles, including required impairment testing. Dover performs its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter; however, it is required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. It has considered the economic environments in which its businesses operate, particularly the Energy segment due to the weakening of the oil and gas markets. The Company has determined that no triggering event has occurred which would require impairment testing at this time. Dover will continue to assess the economic environment throughout the year to determine whether a triggering event has occurred, thus requiring impairment testing.

The Company maintains a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on November 10, 2016 . The Company primarily uses this facility as liquidity back-up for its commercial paper program and has not drawn down any loans under the $1.0 billion facility and does not anticipate doing so. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, funding of acquisitions and the repurchases of its common stock. Under the credit facility, the Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. The Company was in compliance with this covenant and its other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2015, and it expects to remain in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had approximately $129,088 outstanding in letters of credit and guarantees with financial institutions, which expire at various dates in the last quarter of 2015 through 2020 . These letters of credit are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty, and other performance obligations.

10. 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 that occur within the next twelve months and are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward or collar contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had contracts with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of $36,508 and $47,047 , respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar, Chinese Yuan, Euro, and pound sterling. 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 $54,126 and $52,392 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, that are not designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are used to reduce the Company's exposure for operating receivables and payables that are denominated in non-functional currencies.

The Company also has an outstanding floating-to-floating cross currency swap agreement for a total notional amount of $50,000 in exchange for CHF 65,100 , which expires on October 15, 2015. This transaction continues to hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in CHF-denominated operations. The agreement qualifies as a net investment hedge and the effective portion of the change in fair value is reported within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. The fair values at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 reflected losses of $19,616 and $15,567 , respectively, due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the arrangement. The Company intends to settle this hedge upon maturity in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:



	Fair Value Asset (Liability)
	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014			Balance Sheet Caption
Foreign currency forward / collar contracts	$	1,295		$	973		Prepaid / Other assets
Foreign currency forward / collar contracts	—			(810		)	Other accrued expenses
Net investment hedge - cross currency swap	(19,616		)	(15,567		)	Accrued expenses

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)

Additionally, the Company has designated the €300.0 million of Euro-denominated notes issued December 4, 2013 as a hedge of a portion of its 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.

Amounts recognized in other comprehensive earnings (loss) for the gains (losses) on its net investment hedges were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
(Loss) gain on Euro-denominated debt	$	(6,975	)	$	6,269		$	28,375		$	3,365
(Loss) gain on Swiss franc cross-currency swap	(2,716		)	309			(4,049		)	(23		)
Total (loss) gain on net investment hedges before tax	(9,691		)	6,578			24,326			3,342
Tax benefit (expense)	3,392			(2,303		)	(8,514		)	(1,170		)
Net (loss) gain on net investment hedges, net of tax	$	(6,299	)	$	4,275		$	15,812		$	2,172

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.

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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 :



	June 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Foreign currency cash flow hedges	$	—	$	1,295	$	—	$	—	$	973	$	—
Liabilities:
Foreign currency cash flow hedges	—		—		—		—		810		—
Net investment hedge derivative	—		19,616		—		—		15,567		—

In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require interim disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company’s financial instruments.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $2,821,080 and $3,002,701 , respectively, compared to the carrying value of $2,525,114 and $2,552,997 , 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 valuation hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, and notes payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

11. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 29.6% and 30.6% , respectively. Excluding unfavorable net discrete items in each period, the effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 29.3% and 30.4% , respectively. These discrete items principally resulted from the conclusion of certain federal, state and international tax audits. The reduction in the effective tax rate year over year is principally due to a change in the geographic mix of earnings.

The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 29.3% and 30.2% , respectively. Excluding favorable net discrete items of $1.9 million in the prior year, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 30.5% . These discrete items principally resulted from the conclusion of certain federal, state and international tax audits. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 relative to the prior year is due to the same factors discussed above.

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2015, the Company generated a $325.0 million gain for tax purposes on the sale of Sargent Aerospace. The tax liability resulting from the sale was $108.0 million which reflects utilization of the $8.6 million tax benefit generated in the first quarter by the sale of Datamax O'Neil.

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. We believe 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 zero to $21.6 million , of which a portion will be reported as discontinued operations.

12. Equity Incentive Program

The Company typically grants equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled first quarter Compensation Committee meeting. In the first quarter of 2015 , the Company issued stock-settled appreciation rights ("SARs") covering 1,144,529 shares, performance share awards of 61,611 and restricted stock units of 145,545 .

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of each SAR on the date of grant. 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 SARs is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the SARs awarded during the respective periods are as follows:



	SARs
	2015			2014
Risk-free interest rate	1.51		%	1.70		%
Dividend yield	2.24		%	1.98		%
Expected life (years)	5.1			5.3
Volatility	27.19		%	30.81		%

Grant price	$	73.28		$	82.51
Fair value per share at date of grant	$	14.55		$	19.84

The performance share awards granted in 2014 and 2015 are considered performance condition awards as attainment is based on Dover's performance relative to established internal metrics. The fair value of these awards was determined using Dover's closing stock price on the date of grant. The expected attainment of the internal metrics for these awards is analyzed each reporting period, and the related expense is adjusted based on expected attainment, if that attainment differs from previous estimates. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in attainment is recognized in compensation cost in the period of change.

The increase in share-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 relative to the prior year period is due to the acceleration of expense for awards granted in 2015 to certain employees that have satisfied the terms of retirement eligibility under the 2012 Equity and Cash Incentive Plan. As these individuals are guaranteed the right to vest in these awards, regardless of future service, the related expense was recognized immediately upon grant.

13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

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 that provide for the allocation of such costs among "potentially responsible parties." In each instance, the extent of the Company’s liability appears to be very small 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 reserves have been established. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company has reserves totaling $31,285 and $32,890 , respectively, for environmental and other matters, including private party claims for exposure to hazardous substances, that are probable and estimable.

The Company and certain 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 the availability and extent of insurance coverage. The Company has reserves for legal matters that are probable and estimable and not otherwise covered by insurance, and at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , these reserves are not significant. 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.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement 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. In addition, 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 following tables set forth the components of the Company’s net periodic expense relating to retirement benefit plans:

Qualified Defined Benefits

(1)	One-time charges of $810 reflected in pension expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 represents curtailments, special termination benefits, and settlements for certain businesses classified as held for sale; therefore, this amount has been reflected in the results of discontinued operations.

The net periodic expense reflected above for non-U.S. plans for the six months ended June 30, 2014 excludes certain non-U.S. plans sponsored by Knowles that were distributed as part of the separation on February 28, 2014. The historical expense relating to these plans was not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The expense relating to these plans is reflected in earnings from discontinued operations.

The Company also maintains post retirement benefit plans, although these plans are effectively closed to new entrants. The supplemental and post retirement benefit plans are supported by the general assets of the Company. The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s net periodic expense relating to its post-retirement benefit plans:

Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net	176,762		3,378		269,082		(6,525		)
Net earnings	$	332,396	$	213,959	$	541,906	$	374,097

Basic earnings (loss) per common share:
Earnings from continuing operations	$	0.98	$	1.26	$	1.70	$	2.26
Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net	$	1.11	$	0.02	$	1.68	$	(0.04	)
Net earnings	$	2.10	$	1.29	$	3.38	$	2.23

Weighted average shares outstanding	158,640,000		166,474,000		160,137,000		168,103,000

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
Earnings from continuing operations	$	0.97	$	1.25	$	1.69	$	2.23
Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net	$	1.10	$	0.02	$	1.66	$	(0.04	)
Net earnings	$	2.07	$	1.27	$	3.35	$	2.19

Weighted average shares outstanding	160,398,000		168,857,000		161,876,000		170,450,000

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



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015	2014	2015	2014
Weighted average shares outstanding - Basic	158,640,000	166,474,000	160,137,000	168,103,000
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of employee stock options and SARs and vesting of performance shares	1,758,000	2,383,000	1,739,000	2,347,000
Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted	160,398,000	168,857,000	161,876,000	170,450,000

Diluted per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and SARs, and vesting of performance shares and restricted shares, as determined using the treasury stock method.

The weighted average number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above were 45,000 and 48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and 35,000 and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2014 .

19. Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 that introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which includes amendments that change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations with a major effect on the organization's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the ASU requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2015.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Refer to the section below entitled "Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained below and throughout this quarterly report.

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("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"). These include organic revenue, organic revenue growth, free cash flow and adjusted working capital. Organic revenue and organic revenue growth refer to revenue and revenue growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending, while adjusted working capital refers to accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable. 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.

The MD&A is organized as follows:


•	Overview and Outlook


•	Consolidated Results of Operations


•	Segment Results of Operations


•	Financial Condition


◦	Cash Flow Summary and Liquidity and Capital Resources


◦	Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Standards


◦	Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Disclosures

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Dover is a diversified global manufacturer delivering innovative equipment and components, specialty systems and support services through four major operating segments: Energy, Engineered Systems, Fluids, and Refrigeration & Food Equipment. The Company's entrepreneurial business model encourages, promotes, and fosters deep customer engagement and collaboration, which has led to Dover's well-established and valued reputation for providing superior customer service and industry-leading product innovation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references herein to "Dover," "the Company," and words such as "we," "us," and "our" include Dover Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Dover's four segments are as follows:


•	Our Energy segment, serving the Drilling & Production, Bearings & Compression, and Automation end markets, is a provider of customer-driven solutions and services for safe and efficient production and processing of fuels worldwide, and has a strong presence in the bearings and compression and automation markets.


•	Our Engineered Systems segment is comprised of two platforms, Printing & Identification and Industrials, and is focused on the design, manufacture and service of critical equipment and components serving the printing & identification, vehicle service, environmental solutions, and industrial end markets.


•	Our Fluids segment, serving the Fluid Transfer and Pumps end markets, is focused on the safe handling of critical fluids across the retail fueling, chemical, hygienic, oil and gas, and industrial end markets.


•	Our Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment is a provider of innovative and energy efficient equipment and systems serving the commercial refrigeration and food service end markets.

Table of Contents

The following table shows the percentage of total revenue and segment earnings generated by each of our four segments for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 :



	Revenue				Segment Earnings
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Energy	20.8	%	24.5	%	15.0	%	31.5	%
Engineered Systems	33.7	%	31.3	%	35.4	%	27.9	%
Fluids	20.0	%	17.6	%	25.6	%	17.3	%
Refrigeration & Food Equipment	25.5	%	26.6	%	24.0	%	23.3	%

Second quarter 2015 consolidated revenue of $1.8 billion declined $204.0 million, or 10.4%, as compared to the second quarter 2014 comprised of a 9.6% decrease in organic revenue and a 4.4% unfavorable impact due to foreign currency translation, offset, in part, by a 3.6% increase attributable to acquisitions. Our results continue to be impacted by diminished demand and significant customer inventory reductions in our North American Energy markets. The second quarter was also impacted by reduced activity related to customer capital spending in retail refrigeration, oil and gas related pumps markets, and certain industrial businesses within Engineered Systems. We currently anticipate capital spending in these markets to remain muted for the balance of the year.

From a geographic perspective, our U.S. activity declined, largely driven by our exposure to oil and gas markets. In addition, our Asian markets declined, while Europe remained solid. Finally, due to the weakening of certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly the Euro, consolidated revenue was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $86.0 million, most notably within the Engineered Systems, Fluids, and Refrigeration & Food Equipment segments.

In connection with our commitment to optimize shareholder return, we continually assess our business portfolio. During the second quarter 2015, we completed the sale of Sargent Aerospace for total cash proceeds of $500.0 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of $177.8 million . We also sold Datamax O’Neil in the first quarter of 2015 for $185.0 million and recognized a gain of $87.8 million.

In January 2015, the Board of Directors approved a new standing share repurchase authorization for up to 15.0 million shares of our common stock over three years. During the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our common stock under this program for $300.1 million , or an average share price of $75.68 . As of June 30, 2015, there were 8.3 million shares available for repurchase under our authorization, reflecting year-to-date purchases of 6.7 million .

We completed previously announced actions to adjust our costs and further streamline our businesses, as well as initiated new actions to better align our cost base with the demand environment, particularly within our Energy segment. These actions resulted in second quarter 2015 restructuring charges of $3.1 million, most notably related to various programs across our Energy segment. In total, we have incurred approximately $64.6 million in restructuring charges over the last three quarters. We currently expect full year 2015 restructuring expenses of approximately $40.0 million to $45.0 million , inclusive of our first and second quarter actions, principally within our Energy segment. The 2015 cost savings expected to be realized as a result of the restructuring programs initiated in late 2014 and early 2015 is within the range of $90.0 million to $95.0 million. We will continue to pursue additional cost reduction opportunities throughout the remainder of 2015, as we continue to align our costs with market demands.

We expect to see the following trends in the second half of the year:


•	Within our Energy segment, the continuation of challenged markets, as well as the stabilization of drilling order rates as customer inventory reductions dissipate;


•	Continued growth in both the Printing & Identification and Industrials platforms of our Engineered Systems segment;


•	Within our Fluids segment, the continuation of global market growth in the Fluid Transfer end markets and for the majority of our Pumps businesses, with margin remaining strong; and


•	For our Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment, lower order activity for retail refrigeration, reflecting the continuation of reduced customer capital spending, partially offset by strong activity for our glass door, heat exchanger, and commercial food equipment businesses.

Due to continued weak fundamentals in the North American oil & gas markets, and generally weaker customer capital spending in retail refrigeration and certain industrial end-markets, we have reduced our forecast for 2015 full-year revenue and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") as compared to those previously communicated. The Company now expects full-year revenue to decline 8.0% to 9.0% versus a prior revenue forecast of a decline of 4.0% to 6.0%. This revised forecast

Table of Contents

includes an organic revenue decline of 7.0% to 8.0%, a 4.0% unfavorable impact from foreign currencies, and growth from completed acquisitions of 3.0%. Full-year EPS is now anticipated to be in the range of $3.75 to $3.90, as compared to its prior guidance of $4.20 to $4.40.

Revenue

Second quarter revenue decreased $204.0 million , or 10.4% , as compared to the second quarter of 2014 driven by a 9.6% decrease in organic revenue due to continued weak fundamentals in the North American oil & gas markets and reduced activity in retail refrigeration and certain industrial end-markets. This decline was partially offset by the impact of recent acquisitions, largely within the Energy segment, most notably Accelerated Companies and Wellmark Holdings, resulting in a 3.6% increase to revenue. Additionally, the impacts of foreign currency, especially the Euro, resulted in an unfavorable impact to revenue of approximately 4.4% .

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $291.1 million , or 7.7% . The decrease primarily reflects organic revenue decline of 7.8% , driven by the aforementioned weaknesses in oil & gas markets, and retail refrigeration. Growth of 4.2% related to acquisitions, primarily within the Energy segment, were mostly offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency of 4.1% .

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 decreased $113.5 million , or 14.8% in connection with the declining revenues for the period. Gross profit margin declined 190 basis points primarily due to significant revenue declines in those businesses with historically higher margin contributions, leading to an unfavorable product mix. In addition, higher labor costs and reduced leverage on fixed overhead contributed to the decline in gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2015 relative to the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , gross profit decreased $194.2 million , or 13.2% , from the comparable 2014 period and gross profit margin decreased 230 basis points to 36.9% . An unfavorable product mix and higher labor costs contributed to the decline in gross profit margin during this period. Reflected in cost of goods sold for the period were $8.2 million higher restructuring

Table of Contents

charges and $9.8 million higher acquisition-related depreciation and amortization, which represented approximately 50 basis points of the decline in gross profit margin.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $36.1 million , or 8.2% , as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting the impact of cost savings realized as the result of restructuring programs. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses increased 50 basis points in 2015 to 22.9% , reflecting deleveraging of fixed administrative and restructuring costs incurred during the quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , selling and administrative expenses decreased $34.9 million , or 4.0% . The current year expense includes $12.8 million higher restructuring charges to align our businesses with anticipated market conditions. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses increased 90 basis points in 2015 to 24.1%, of which restructuring represented approximately 30 basis points of the increase.

Non-Operating Items

Other income, net

Other income of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily reflects a one-time favorable legal settlement. The prior year income of $6.2 million included approximately $4.0 million of income related to an insurance settlement for property damage and acquisition termination fees, as well as $1.0 million in foreign exchange gains resulting from the remeasurement and settlement of foreign currency denominated balances.

Other income of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily reflects a one-time favorable insurance settlement of $3.6 million and the aforementioned legal settlement of $1.2 million, as well as earnings from minority interest investments of $1.5 million. These income items were offset by approximately $1.0 million of foreign exchange losses from the the remeasurement of balances denominated in foreign currencies. The prior year income of $6.0 million included $6.0 million of income related to insurance settlements for property damage and acquisition termination fees, which were partially offset by foreign exchange losses of $1.7 million.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were 29.3% and 30.2% , respectively. Excluding favorable net discrete items of $1.9 million in the prior year, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 30.5% . These discrete items principally resulted from the conclusion of certain federal, state and international tax audits. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 relative to the prior year is due to the same factors discussed above.

Table of Contents

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. We believe 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 zero to $21.6 million, of which a portion will be reported as discontinued operations.

Earnings from Continuing Operations

Earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 26.1% to $155.6 million , or $0.97 diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , earnings from continuing operations decreased 28.3% to $272.8 million . The decrease in earnings is primarily the result of lower revenues, especially within the drilling and production end markets, and higher restructuring charges. The decrease in earnings per share reflects the decrease in earnings, offset by lower weighted average shares outstanding for the 2015 period relative to the prior year.

Discontinued Operations

Management evaluates Dover’s businesses periodically for their strategic fit within its operations. Accordingly, the results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 reflect the net earnings of certain businesses that were either held for sale or have been previously sold. The Company completed the sale of Datamax O'Neil in the first quarter of 2015 for a gain on sale of $87.8 million. The Company also sold Sargent Aerospace in the second quarter of 2015 for a gain on sale of $177.8 million . These gains are reflected in earnings from discontinued operations. Additionally, in connection with the separation of Knowles from Dover on February 28, 2014, the results of operations and cash flows of Knowles are reflected within discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as well as costs incurred by Dover to complete the spin-off of Knowles, totaling $26.7 million . See

Note 4 Discontinued Operations .

Restructuring Activities

The restructuring expenses of $3.1 million and $27.2 million incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 relate to restructuring programs initiated during 2015 and 2014 . These programs are designed to better align the Company's costs and operations with current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other measures. The Company currently expects full year 2015 restructuring expenses of approximately $40.0 million to $45.0 million , inclusive of our first and second quarter actions, principally within the Energy segment. The Company expects the programs currently underway to be substantially completed in the next twelve to eighteen months.

The $3.1 million of restructuring charges incurred during the second quarter of 2015 primarily included the following items:


•	The Energy segment incurred restructuring charges of $2.6 million related to various programs across the segment focused on workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These programs were initiated to better align cost base with the anticipated demand environment in 2015.


•	The Engineered Systems segment recorded $0.7 million of restructuring charges relating to headcount reductions across various businesses, well as actions taken to optimize costs related to administrative functions within the Printing & Identification platform.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company incurred restructuring charges of $2.9 million and $6.2 million , respectively, for programs at several targeted facilities to optimize cost structure, across several of the segments. See Note 8 Restructuring Activities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our restructuring programs.

Second Quarter 2015 Compared to the Second Quarter 2014

Energy revenue decreased $115.0 million, or 23.9%, in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, comprised of an organic revenue decline of 34.2% , 12.0% acquisition-related growth, and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 1.7% .


•	Drilling & Production end market revenue (representing 67.6% of segment revenue) decreased $104.8 million, or 29.8%, due to diminished demand and significant customer inventory reductions in our North American markets. The decrease in revenue for Drilling & Production was partially offset by acquisition-related growth, mainly due to our October 2014 acquisition of Accelerated Companies LLC.


•	Bearings & Compression end market revenue (representing 21.7% of segment revenue) decreased $3.9 million, or 4.7%. Strength within our Compression end market was more than offset by ongoing declines in our Bearings end market, as slower OEM build rates continued, especially with oil and gas customers.


•	Automation end market revenue (representing approximately 10.7% of segment revenue) decreased $6.5 million, or 14.2%. The favorable impact of recent acquisitions was more than offset by customer project delays, as low oil prices and uncertainties resulted in reduced capital spending by service and exploration and production companies.

Table of Contents

Segment earnings decreased $74.1 million, or 64.4%, for our Energy segment, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by lower volume for our businesses serving the Drilling & Production end market. In addition, the current year quarter included restructuring charges of $2.6 million, as the segment continued targeted workforce reductions and facility consolidations.

Operating margin declined from 23.9% to 11.2%, as compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to the aforementioned impact of weak market dynamics, as well as higher acquisition-related costs from recent acquisitions, including depreciation and amortization ($5.5 million increase) and modest price declines.

Bookings for the second quarter decreased 27.7% from the prior year quarter, reflecting weak oil and gas markets. Book-to-bill was 0.94.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenue generated by our Energy segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $163.3 million, or 17.0%, comprised of an organic revenue decline of 28.9% , 13.6% acquisition-related growth, and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 1.7% . Volume decline across the segment, due to the aforementioned market deterioration in the North American oil and gas markets, drove the overall decrease in revenue.

Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $140.7 million, or 60.2%, as compared to the prior year to date. Results for our businesses serving the Drilling & Production end markets and higher acquisition-related costs from recent acquisitions, including depreciation and amortization expense ($18.7 million increase), contributed to the decline. In addition, current year to date restructuring charges totaled $20.4 million, an increase of $18.9 million as compared to the prior year to date. These charges related to programs targeted at workforce reductions and facility consolidations to reduce costs and gain operating efficiencies, with $13.7 million related specifically to our businesses serving the Drilling & Production end market. The aforementioned incremental acquisition-related costs and higher restructuring charges impacted operating margin as compared to the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2015 Compared to the Second Quarter 2014

Engineered Systems revenue for the second quarter of 2015 decreased $20.7 million, or 3.4%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily driven by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency of 6.5% , partially offset by organic growth of 3.1% .


•	Revenue of our Printing & Identification platform (representing 38.8% of segment revenue) decreased $22.4 million, or 8.9%. The growth in organic revenue of 3.7% was more than offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation of 12.6%, as the Euro and several other currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar.

•

Revenue of our Industrials platform (representing 61.2% of segment revenue), increased $1.7 million, or less than 1.0%, as compared to the prior year quarter. Organic growth of 2.7% was driven by continued strong results in our waste handling and auto-related businesses, partially offset by softness in other Industrials businesses. This increase was partially offset by a 2.2% unfavorable foreign currency translation impact.

Table of Contents

Engineered Systems segment earnings decreased $5.1 million, or 5.0%, as compared to the prior year quarter. Increased volume as a result of organic growth was more than offset by the significant, unfavorable impact from foreign currencies. Operating margin remained relatively stable as compared to the prior year quarter, as productivity gains and volume leverage offset the negative impact of higher labor costs and unfavorable business mix in our Industrials platform. In addition, a one-time favorable legal settlement of $1.2 million offset restructuring and other one-time charges in the quarter.

Segment bookings decreased 8.0% as compared to the comparable prior year period, reflecting a decline in organic bookings of 1.9%, with the remaining decline due to foreign currency translation. Our Printing & Identification bookings increased 3.1% after adjusting for negative foreign currency translation impact. Industrials bookings decreased 5.3% organically, primarily reflecting the softness in capital spending in Asian and European markets. Book-to-bill for Printing & Identification was 0.98, while Industrials was 0.93. Overall, book-to-bill was 0.94.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Engineered Systems revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $15.2 million, or 1.3%, comprised of 4.4% organic revenue growth, 0.6% growth from recent acquisitions and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 6.3% . The revenue trends for the six-month period were relatively consistent in each of our end markets to those outlined for the quarter.

Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2015 remained flat as compared to the 2014 period. One-time gains, including a favorable insurance settlement of $3.6 million and legal settlement of $1.2 million, offset higher restructuring charges of $2.1 million and the impact of business mix.

Fluids revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased $5.2 million, or 1.5%, comprised of organic growth of 5.9% , growth from recent acquisitions of 2.2% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 6.6% .


•	Fluid Transfer revenue (representing 56.0% of segment revenue) grew $5.1 million, or 2.7%, as compared to the prior year period. The Fluid Transfer businesses continue to benefit from solid demand in global retail fueling markets and increased safety and environmental regulations, as well as acquisition-related growth, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.


•	Pumps revenue (representing 44.0% of segment revenue) remained relatively flat as compared with the prior year period, as strong shipment activity in our project-related pumps business was offset by foreign currency headwinds and slower activity in oil and gas-related pump markets.

Earnings in our Fluids segment increased $7.1 million, or 11.2%, over the prior year quarter, as the increases due to recent acquisitions and continued strength within Fluid Transfer were partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Operating margin increased 180 basis points, driven by positive product mix, leverage on volume, and cost savings initiatives. Bookings decreased 11.0% as compared to the prior year quarter, due to oil and gas end market exposure in Pumps and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by stable Fluid Transfer markets. Book to bill was 0.95.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Fluids segment revenue increased slightly to $691.7 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, attributable to 3.9% organic growth, 2.1% acquisition-related growth, and a 5.9% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Strong

demand in global retail fueling markets and increased safety and environmental safety regulations in our Fluid Transfer end markets and the timing of shipments, particularly in the second quarter, more than offset the impact of foreign currency translation.

Fluids segment earnings increased $3.7 million, or 3.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , and operating margin increased slightly to 18.0%, as compared to prior year to date, primarily due to sales volume and productivity gains, as well as the benefits from recent cost initiatives. These drivers more than offset the impact of higher depreciation and amortization expense related to recent acquisitions and higher restructuring charges as compared to the prior year to date.

Second Quarter 2015 Compared to the Second Quarter 2014

Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment revenue decreased $74.2 million, or 14.2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014 , comprised of an organic revenue decline of 12.3% , acquisition-related growth of 0.8% and a 2.7% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.


•	Refrigeration revenue (representing 77.9% of segment revenue) decreased $51.5 million, or 12.9%, quarter over quarter, primarily driven by the decline in organic revenue due to share shifts of a major food retail customer and slower activity at other retail customers, as well as an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation due to the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar.


•	Food Equipment revenue (representing 22.1% of segment revenue) decreased $22.7 million, or 18.6%, compared with the prior year quarter mainly due to the timing of shipments on large projects, as well as the negative impact from foreign currency translation.

Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment earnings decreased $19.2 million, or 22.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014, and operating margin decreased 160 basis points, primarily due to the lower sales volume, as well as unfavorable absorption and product mix.

Second quarter 2015 bookings decreased 10.3% from the prior year comparable quarter reflecting lower than anticipated demand, particularly for refrigeration systems and case products, partially offset by an increase in bookings for our beverage can-making equipment. Book to bill for the second quarter of 2015 remained solid at 1.09.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment revenue decreased $113.6 million, or 12.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to organic revenue decline of 10.0% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 2.9% , slightly offset by acquisition-related growth of 0.7% . The revenue trends for the six-month period were relatively consistent in each of our end markets to those outlined for the quarter.

Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment earnings decreased $27.9 million, or 21.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , as compared to the prior year period, and operating margin declined 150 basis points. These decreases were largely attributable to the aforementioned volume decline, which more than offset cost saving initiatives during the period.

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 reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions, while managing our capital structure on a short and long-term basis.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table is derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
Cash Flows from Continuing Operations (in thousands)	2015			2014
Net Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):
Operating activities	$	350,243		$	213,374
Investing activities	614,460			(233,778		)
Financing activities	(1,024,932		)	(265,975		)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased approximately $136.9 million compared to the comparable period in 2014 . This increase was primarily driven by higher cash inflows from working capital of $228.8 million , partially offset by lower earnings from continuing operations relative to the prior year period.

Adjusted Working Capital

Adjusted working capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) decreased $47.7 million in 2015, or 3.3%, to $1.4 billion, which reflected decreases of $37.3 million in accounts receivable and $19.4 million in inventory, offset by a decrease of $9.0 million in accounts payable. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation, adjusted working capital decreased $22.8 million, or 1.6%.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by or used in investing activities generally results from cash outflows for capital expenditures and acquisitions, offset by proceeds from sales of businesses and property, plant and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we obtained cash through investing activities of $614.5 million as compared to $233.8 million of cash used for the same period of 2014 , driven mainly by the following factors:


•	Proceeds from the sale of business: In 2015, we generated cash of $685.0 million from the sales of Datamax O'Neil and Sargent Aerospace.


•	Acquisitions: During 2015 , we deployed approximately $6.5 million to acquire one product line in our Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment. In comparison, in 2014 , we acquired three businesses for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $143.1 million .


•	Capital spending: Our capital expenditures decreased $3.5 million in 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily within the Energy segment. We expect full year 2015 capital expenditures to approximate 2.0 - 3.0% of revenue.

We anticipate that capital expenditures and any acquisitions we make through the remainder of 2015 will be funded from available cash and internally generated funds and, if necessary, through the issuance of commercial paper, use of established lines of credit or public debt or equity markets.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Our cash flow from financing activities generally relates to the use of cash for the repurchase of our common stock and payments of dividends, offset by net borrowing activity and proceeds from the exercises of stock options. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , we used cash totaling $1,024.9 million and $266.0 million , respectively, for financing activities, with the activity primarily attributable to the following:


•	Share purchases: During 2015, the Company used $500.1 million to repurchase 6.7 million shares of common stock under the 15.0 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in January 2015. As of June 30, 2015 , the approximate number of shares still available for repurchase under the January 2015 share repurchase authorization was 8.3 million .

•

Commercial paper and notes payable: Commercial paper and notes payable, net decreased in the 2015 period by $396.1 million , as the Company utilized a portion of the aforementioned proceeds from the sales of Datamax O'Neil and Sargent Aerospace to pay down commercial paper. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, as well as to fund acquisitions and repurchase its common stock.


•	Dividend payments: We paid $1.2 million more in dividends to common shareholders in 2015 as compared to 2014 . Our dividends paid per common share increased 7% to $0.80 in 2015 compared to $0.75 in 2014 . The higher dividend rate was partially offset by lower common shares outstanding for the 2015 period relative to 2014 due to over 10.0 million of share repurchases over the past twelve months.

•

Net proceeds from the exercise of share-based awards : Proceeds from the exercise of share-based awards were $12.3 million lower in 2015 as compared to the prior year. These proceeds have declined in recent periods as the number of stock options are diminishing and a larger number of cashless exercises of equity awards have occurred. Payments to settle tax obligations on these exercises declined $13.9 million in 2015 as a lower share price led to fewer award exercises.

•

Cash received from Knowles, net of cash distributed: In connection with the separation of Knowles from Dover in 2014, Knowles made a cash payment of $400.0 million to Dover immediately prior to the distribution. Dover received net cash of $359.2 million upon separation, which reflects cash held by Knowles at the time of distribution and retained by it in connection with its separation from Dover. Dover utilized the net proceeds from Knowles to pay down commercial paper and to repurchase shares of its common stock in the first quarter of 2014.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash used in discontinued operations totaled $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to cash provided of $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . These cash flows reflect the operating results of Sargent Aerospace and Datamax O'Neil (prior to their sale in 2015), as well as the results of Knowles prior to its spin-off in the first quarter of 2014. Cash used in the 2014 period includes costs incurred for the spin-off of Knowles of $26.7 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure). We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides 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.

Table of Contents

The following table reconciles our free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
Free Cash Flow (dollars in thousands)	2015			2014
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	350,243		$	213,374
Less: Capital expenditures	(71,763		)	(75,245		)
Free cash flow	$	278,480		$	138,129
Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue	8.0		%	3.7		%

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we generated free cash flow of $278.5 million , representing 8.0% of revenue and 102.1% of net earnings from continuing operations. Free cash flow in 2015 increased $140.4 million over the prior year primarily due to $136.9 million higher cash from operating activities, which was driven by higher cash inflow from reductions in working capital relative to the prior year. We expect to generate free cash flow of approximately 11.0% of revenue for full year 2015 .

Net Debt to Net Capitalization

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. The following table provides a reconciliation of net debt to net capitalization to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:



Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio (dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Current maturities of long-term debt	$	300,051		$	299,956
Commercial paper	81,900			478,000
Long-term debt	2,225,063			2,253,041
Total debt	2,607,014			3,030,997
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	(595,168		)	(681,581		)
Net debt	2,011,846			2,349,416
Add: Stockholders' equity	3,592,482			3,700,725
Net capitalization	$	5,604,328		$	6,050,141
Net debt to net capitalization	35.9		%	38.8		%

Our net debt to net capitalization ratio decreased to 35.9% at June 30, 2015 from 38.8% at December 31, 2014 . The decrease in this ratio was driven primarily by the reduction in our net capitalization of $445.8 million due to lower commercial paper.

We use commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions and the repurchasing of our common stock. We currently maintain an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks which permits borrowings up to $1.0 billion and expires on November 10, 2016. This facility is used primarily as liquidity back-up for our commercial paper program; we have not borrowed any funds under this facility. If we were to draw down a loan, at our election, the loan would bear interest at a Eurodollar or Sterling rate based on LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.565% to 1.225% (subject to adjustment based on the rating accorded our senior unsecured debt by S&P and Moody’s) or at a base rate pursuant to a formula defined in the facility. Under this facility, we are required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. We were in compliance with this covenant and our other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2015 and had a coverage ratio of 14.5 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.

At June 30, 2015 , our cash and cash equivalents totaled $595.2 million , of which $568.5 million was held outside the United States. Cash and equivalents are invested in highly liquid investment-grade money market instruments and bank deposits with maturities of three months or less. We regularly invest cash in excess of near-term requirements in 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.

Table of Contents

In 2014, we made a one-time cash dividend of approximately $235.0 million as a result of certain restructuring arising from the spin-off of Knowles. The U.S. tax consequences of this intercompany dividend, which were not significant, were reflected in income tax expense at the time. Since the remaining cash our foreign subsidiaries hold is generally used to finance foreign operations and investments, including acquisitions, it is our intent to indefinitely reinvest those funds outside the U.S. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax payable if some or all of such funds were to be repatriated and the amount of foreign tax credits available to reduce or eliminate the resulting U.S. income tax liability. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its cash needs, including its cash needs in the United States.

At June 30, 2015 , we have an outstanding floating-to-floating cross currency swap agreement for a total notional amount of $50.0 million in exchange for CHF 65.1 million, which matures on October 15, 2015. This transaction continues to hedge a portion of our net investment in CHF-denominated operations. The agreement qualifies as a net investment hedge and the effective portion of the change in fair value is reported within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. The fair value at June 30, 2015 reflected a loss of $19.6 million due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of this arrangement. The Company intends to settle this hedge upon maturity in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of GAAP which requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our public disclosures, including information regarding contingencies, risk and our financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conform to GAAP and are consistently applied. We review valuations based on estimates for reasonableness on a consistent basis.

Goodwill

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangibles" provides guidance on an entity's subsequent measurement and recognition of goodwill and other intangibles, including required impairment testing. We perform our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter; however, we are required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. We have considered the economic environments in which our businesses operate, particularly our Energy segment, due to the recent weakening of the oil and gas markets. We have determined that no triggering event has occurred which would require impairment testing at this time. We will continue to assess the economic environment throughout the year to determine whether a triggering event has occurred, thus requiring impairment testing.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Part 1, Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 19 Recent Accounting Standards . The adoption of recent accounting standards as included in

Note 19 Recent Accounting Standards in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on our revenue, earnings or liquidity.

Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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. Such statements relate to, among other things, operating and strategic plans, income, earnings, cash flows, changes in operations, industries in which Dover businesses operate, anticipated market conditions and our positioning, global economies, and operating improvements. Forward-looking statements may be indicated by words or phrases such as "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "suggests," "will," "plans," "should," "would," "could," and "forecast," or the use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, including, but not limited to, oil and natural gas demand, production growth, and prices; changes in exploration and production spending by Dover’s customers and changes in the level of oil and natural gas exploration and development; changes in customer demand and capital spending; economic conditions generally and changes in economic conditions globally and in markets served by Dover businesses, including well activity and U.S. industrials activity; Dover’s ability to achieve expected savings from integration and other cost-control initiatives, such as lean and productivity programs as well as efforts to reduce sourcing input costs; the impact of interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the ability of Dover's businesses to expand into new geographic markets; Dover's ability to identify and successfully consummate value-adding acquisition opportunities or planned divestitures; the impact of loss of a significant customer, or loss or non-renewal of significant contracts; the ability of Dover's businesses to develop and launch new products, timing of such launches and risks relating to

market acceptance by customers; the relative mix of products and services which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; increased competition and pricing pressures; the impact of loss of a single-source manufacturing facility; short-term capacity constraints; increases in the cost of raw materials; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes or developments, including environmental regulations, conflict minerals disclosure requirements, and tax policies; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the impact of legal matters and legal compliance risks; conditions and events affecting domestic and global financial and capital markets; and a downgrade in Dover's credit ratings which, among other matters, could make obtaining financing more difficult and costly. Dover refers you to the documents that it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as its reports on Form 10-K for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from its current expectations and from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Dover undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also disclose non-GAAP information that we believe provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt, total debt, net capitalization, the net debt to net capitalization ratio, adjusted working capital, earnings adjusted for non-recurring items, effective tax rate adjusted for discrete and other items, revenue excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates 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, earnings, revenue or working capital as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe the (1) net debt to net capitalization ratio and (2) free cash flow are important measures of operating performance and liquidity. Net debt to net capitalization is helpful in evaluating our capital structure and the amount of leverage we employ. Free cash flow provides 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. Reconciliations of free cash flow, total debt and net debt can be found above in this Item 2, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We believe that reporting our effective tax rate adjusted for discrete and other items is useful to management and investors as it facilitates comparisons of our ongoing tax rate to prior and future periods and our peers. We believe that reporting adjusted working capital (also sometimes called "working capital"), which is calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable, provides a meaningful measure of our operational results by showing the changes caused solely by revenue. We believe that reporting adjusted working capital and revenues at constant currency, which excludes the positive or negative impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, provides a meaningful measure of our operational changes, given the global nature of our businesses. We believe that reporting organic or core revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 ("Form 10-K").

Item 4 . Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015 .

During the second quarter of 2015 , there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

The Company is making the following disclosure pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Maag Automatik GmbH, formerly Automatik Plastics Machinery GmbH (“Automatik”), is a German company that we acquired on March 13, 2012. Automatik produces equipment that processes plastic materials into pellets and chip products used in the manufacture of downstream items such as plastic bottles and plastic film.

In early 2015, Hyrad Metal & Commodity DMCC (“Hyrad”), a Dubai-based trading company, contacted Automatik seeking a quote for the purchase of spare parts. Automatik generated a quote for parts on a cash-in-advance basis and, on April 22, 2015, Hyrad sent €50,866.27 to Automatik. However, due to a customer warning on Hyrad in its order entry system, Automatik did not enter the order in its system and advised Hyrad that it would not accept the order. Automatik requested additional information to determine the current location of the equipment for which the spare parts were ordered. Hyrad did not provide a satisfactory response initially and in June 2015 confirmed that the end-use customer was Shahid Tondgoyan Petrochemical (“Shahid Tondgoyan”). We understand that Shahid Tondgoyan is owned or controlled by the Government of Iran.

The customer warning on Hyrad had been placed in early 2014 after Hyrad tried to purchase spare parts that Automatik determined were for original equipment that had been purchased in 2000 by Shahid Tondgoyan. Hyrad did not respond to Automatik’s request for information about the location of the equipment at that time. Automatik did not export any spare parts to, and did not receive any payments from, Hyrad in 2014.

Table of Contents

In the course of investigating the April 2015 order, Automatik learned that it had exported spare parts to Hyrad in July 2013 for the original equipment purchased by Shahid Tondgoyan in 2000. Automatik received €8,518 in revenue and earned net profits of €2,366 from the sale. Prior to exporting the parts in 2013, Automatik had screened Hyrad against U.S. blocked party lists and received a report indicating no matches to a blocked party.

We have disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Controls and are awaiting guidance on how to return or otherwise remit the funds received in April 2015. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we disclosed sales of equipment by Automatik to Shahid Tondgoyan in 2012.

Automatik continues to focus on its controls around order intake processes, including end-user verification, training for order entry personnel, and improved oversight. Management has instructed all of the Company’s affiliates not to engage in any trade transactions with Iran and has emphasized the importance of undertaking due diligence on third parties in circumstances in which there is reason to believe that they may be acting on behalf of Iranian companies.
