MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:
Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "Dover's fourth quarter results were very encouraging as we move into 2025, with broad-based top line strength across the portfolio and particularly robust performances within the Clean Energy & Fueling and Pumps & Process Solutions segments. Order trends continued their positive trajectory in the quarter with book-to-bill above one, driven by robust bookings in our secular-growth-exposed markets in single-use biopharma components, thermal connectors, and CO(2) systems.
"Margin improvement was solid during the period due to the positive mix impact from our high margin, high growth platforms, and our rigorous cost containment and productivity actions. We expect these ongoing productivity and cost containment actions will continue to benefit consolidated margins in 2025.
"Our strong operational results were complemented by our ongoing portfolio actions. We have completed six acquisitions over the last three years to create a new platform in cryogenic components within our Clean Energy & Fueling segment, and we are very excited about the future value creation through margin expansion and durable, secular end market growth. We recently closed two bolt-on acquisitions within our high-priority Pumps & Process Solutions segment, and our acquisition pipeline remains robust. We ended the year with a significant cash position that provides flexibility as we pursue value-creating capital deployment to further expand our businesses in high growth, high margin priority platforms.
"We are optimistic about 2025. Underlying demand trends remain solid across the portfolio, as evidenced by our order momentum, and we have significant runway for continued margin improvement through positive mix benefits and numerous cost and performance levers. We have high confidence in Dover's attractive end market exposures, flexible business model, and proven execution playbook. With this backdrop, we are poised to deliver double-digit EPS growth in 2025 through a combination of accretive top line growth, margin improvement, and value-creating capital allocation."
FULL YEAR 2025 GUIDANCE:
In 2025, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS from continuing operations in the range of $8.16 to $8.36 (adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $9.30 to $9.50), based on full year revenue growth of 2% to 4% (organic growth of 3% to 5%).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2024
(unaudited)(amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)
The discussion throughout this Investor Supplement, unless otherwise noted, relates solely to our continuing operations.
Acquisitions
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Carter Day International, Inc.'s petrochemical division, within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment for $34.0 million, inclusive of contingent consideration.
For the full year 2024, the Company acquired eight businesses in separate transactions for total consideration of $674.0 million, net of cash acquired and inclusive of measurement period adjustments and contingent consideration of $38.7 million. These businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Clean Energy & Fueling, Engineered Products, Imaging & Identification and Pumps & Process Solutions segments. The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to change during the measurement period.
Dispositions
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Environmental Solutions Group ("ESG") business, an operating company within the Engineered Products segment, for a total consideration, net of cash transferred, of $2.0 billion. The disposal represented a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company's operations and qualified for discontinued operations presentation. 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.
For the full year 2024, the Company completed two additional sales. 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 ($415.4 million after-tax) included within the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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, ($47.0 million after-tax), subject to customary post-closing adjustments and included within the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Restructuring and Other Costs
During the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, restructuring and other costs included restructuring charges of $28.2 million and $69.8 million, respectively, and other costs of $4.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively. The restructuring expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 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. Other costs were primarily due to non-cash asset impairment charges and reorganization costs in the Climate & Sustainability Technologies and Imaging & Identification segments, respectively.

Tax Rate
The effective tax rate was 21.5% and 7.7% for the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. On a full year basis, the effective tax rate for 2024 and 2023 was 20.3% and 16.0%, respectively. The 2024 tax rate was primarily driven by gains on dispositions. The 2023 tax rate was primarily driven by the release of a net valuation allowance against non-U.S. tax loss carryforwards mainly related to an internal reorganization, partially offset by an accrual of withholding taxes on current and future repatriation of certain foreign earnings.

Non-GAAP Measures Definitions
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, management also discloses non-GAAP information that management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, total segment earnings, total segment earnings margin, adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted earnings from continuing operations, net debt, net capitalization, net debt to net capitalization ratio, and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings from continuing operations per share, cash flows from operating activities, or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The items described in our definitions herein, unless otherwise noted, relate solely to our continuing operations.
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations represents earnings from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits, disposition costs and gain/loss on dispositions. Purchase accounting expenses are primarily comprised of amortization of intangible assets. We exclude after-tax purchase accounting expenses because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company consummates. While we have a history of acquisition activity, our acquisitions do not happen in a predictive cycle. Exclusion of purchase accounting expenses facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time. We believe it is important to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. We exclude the other items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company's commercial performance during the period and/or management believes they are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating costs or gains in a given period.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations or adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations represents diluted earnings from continuing operations per share adjusted for the effect of purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits, disposition costs and gain/loss on disposition.
Total segment earnings is defined as the sum of earnings before purchase accounting expenses, restructuring and other costs/benefits, disposition costs, gain/loss on dispositions, corporate expenses/other, interest expense, interest income and provision for income taxes for all segments. Total segment earnings margin is defined as total segment earnings divided by revenue.
Adjusted segment EBITDA is defined as segment earnings plus other depreciation and amortization expense, which relates to property, plant, and equipment and intangibles, and excludes amounts related to purchase accounting expenses and restructuring and other costs/benefits. Adjusted segment EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted segment EBITDA divided by revenue.
Management believes the non-GAAP measures above are useful to investors to better understand the Company's ongoing profitability as they better reflect the Company's core operating results, offer more transparency and facilitate easier comparability to prior and future periods and to its peers.
Net debt represents total debt minus cash and cash equivalents, including cash held for sale. Net capitalization represents net debt plus stockholders' equity. Net debt to net capitalization ratio is net debt divided by net capitalization. Net debt to net capitalization is helpful in evaluating our capital structure and the amount of leverage we employ.
Free cash flow 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 adjusted earnings from continuing operations equals free cash flow divided by adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow ratios are important measures of liquidity because they provide management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.
Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue and trends between periods. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking organic revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure pursuant to the exception provided in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K because we are not able to provide a meaningful or accurate compilation of reconciling items. This is due to the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the timing and amounts of the items that would be excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or are out of our control. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information which may be material.
Performance Measures Definitions
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.
We use the above 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.
