Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim periods and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for Dover Corporation ("Dover" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for these interim periods. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	2. Revenue Revenue from Contracts with Customers A majority of the Company’s revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments within one year from order. A small portion of the Company’s revenue derives from contracts extending over one year. The Company's payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days and vary by the location of businesses, the type of products manufactured to be sold and the volume of products sold, among other factors. Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by segment and geographic location, as they best depict the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue. See Note 16 — Segment Information for further details. Performance Obligations Approximately 95% of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, rather than over time, as the Company completes its performance obligations. Specifically, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, certification, or other substantive acceptance provisions required under the contract. Approximately 5% of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time and relates to the sale of equipment or services, including software solutions and services, in which the Company transfers control of a good or service over time and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs, or the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for its performance to date plus a reasonable margin. A majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, in most cases, the equipment or product being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation, extended warranty, software and digital solutions, and/or maintenance services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. At September 30, 2023, we estimated that $184,438 in revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period. The Company expects to recognize approximately 62.6% of the Company's unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations as revenue through 2024, with the remaining balance to be recognized in 2025 and thereafter. The Company applied the practical expedient that permits the omission of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. Contract Balances Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers or advance billings for which revenue has not been recognized and are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized. The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Contract assets $ 15,587 $ 11,074 $ 11,440 Contract liabilities - current 256,130 256,933 227,549 Contract liabilities - non-current 16,435 19,879 21,513 The revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $212,594 and $178,098, respectively.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	3. Acquisitions 2023 Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company completed one acquisition. On August 28, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in the Arc Pacific group ("Arc Pacific"), a leading global supplier of can washers, dry-off, pin and internal bake ovens for the metal packaging industry, for $8,834, net of cash acquired and including contingent consideration. The Arc Pacific acquisition extends the Company's reach into can processing equipment production within the Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $529 and intangible assets of $7,670, primarily related to customer intangibles. On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of FW Murphy Production Controls, LLC, a leading provider of control and optimization solutions for the reciprocating compression industry, for approximately $530,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. This acquisition adds complementary offerings within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment. 2022 Acquisitions During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired two businesses in separate transactions for total consideration of $231,562, net of cash acquired. Of these transactions, one includes additional consideration contingent on achieving certain financial performance targets. These businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment. The goodwill recorded as a result of these acquisitions represents the economic benefits expected to be derived from product line expansions and operational synergies. The goodwill is non-deductible for U.S. income tax purposes for these acquisitions. Malema On July 1, 2022, the Company acquired 99.7% of the equity interests in Malema Engineering Corporation and its related foreign entities ("Malema"), a designer and manufacturer of flow measurement and control instruments serving customers in the biopharmaceutical, semiconductor and industrial sectors, for $223,462, net of cash acquired and inclusive of the impact of measurement period adjustments discussed below, subject to contingent consideration. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 0.3% of equity interests in Malema. The Malema acquisition expands the Company's biopharma single-use production offering within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment. The contingent consideration is based upon meeting certain financial performance targets for each twelve-month period over the next two years from March 31, 2022, with a maximum potential payout of $50,000. No value is attributed to the current estimated fair value of contingent earn-out liability, which will be reassessed quarterly during the performance periods. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $153,082 and intangible assets of $64,000 for customer intangibles, $16,000 for patents, and $4,000 for trademarks. The fair value for customer intangibles at the acquisition date was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates and discount rates. The Company recorded measurement period adjustments primarily related to certain liabilities. These adjustments are based on facts and circumstances that existed, but were not known, as of the acquisition date which resulted in an increase in goodwill of $1,381. The following presents the allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the Malema acquisition, based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date: Total Current assets, net of cash acquired $ 8,985 Property, plant and equipment 2,733 Goodwill 153,082 Intangible assets 84,000 Other assets and deferred charges 1,159 Current liabilities (4,487) Non-current liabilities (22,010) Net assets acquired $ 223,462 The amounts assigned to goodwill and major intangible asset classifications were as follows: Amount allocated Useful life Goodwill - non-deductible $ 153,082 na Customer intangibles 64,000 15 Patents 16,000 10 Trademarks 4,000 15 $ 237,082 Other acquisition On May 2, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in AMN DPI ("AMN"), a designer and manufacturer of polymer pelletizing tools, for $8,100, net of cash acquired. The AMN acquisition extends the Company's reach into polymer processing equipment production within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,903 and intangible assets of $5,625, primarily related to customer intangibles.

Credit Loss [Abstract]
Credit Losses	7. Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on the aging of the accounts receivable balances and other historical and forward-looking information on the financial condition of customers. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. 2023 2022 Balance at January 1 $ 39,399 $ 40,126 Provision for expected credit losses, net of recoveries 744 2,791 Amounts written off charged against the allowance (4,860) (3,320) Other, including foreign currency translation (1,323) (3,202) Balance at September 30 $ 33,960 $ 36,395

The restructuring expenses of $33,794 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily related to headcount reductions and exit costs in the Clean Energy & Fueling, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Engineered Product segments. These restructuring programs were initiated in 2022 and 2023 and were undertaken in light of current market conditions. The Company will continue to make proactive adjustments to its cost structure through restructuring and other programs to align with current demand trends.

The borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.44% and 4.61% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Total unamortized debt discounts were $11.3 million and $12.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Total deferred debt issuance costs were $9.4 million and $10.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The discounts are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the issuances. The deferred issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt, as this approximates the effective interest method. On April 6, 2023, the Company entered into new $1.0 billion five-year and $500.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facilities ("Credit Agreements") with a syndicate of banks. The new five-year credit facility replaced the previous $1 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which was set to expire on October 4, 2024 and was terminated by the Company upon execution of the new five-year credit facility. The lenders' commitments under the five-year and 364-day Credit Agreements will terminate and the loans under the Credit Agreements will mature on April 6, 2028 and April 4, 2024, respectively. The Company may elect to extend the maturity date of any loans under the 364-day credit facility until April 4, 2025, subject to conditions specified therein. The Credit Agreements are designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company's commercial paper program, which was upsized from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion during the second quarter of 2023, and also are available for general corporate purposes. At the Company's election, loans under the Credit Agreements will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreements require the Company to pay facility fees and impose various restrictions on the Company such as, among other things, a requirement to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under the new Credit Agreements or the previous five-year credit facility. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreements and other long-term debt covenants at September 30, 2023 and had an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 13.8 to 1. Letters of Credit and other Guarantees As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $182.5 million outstanding in letters of credit, surety bonds, and performance and other guarantees which primarily expire on various dates through 2031. These letters of credit and bonds are primarily issued as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which is believed to be remote.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	11. Financial Instruments Derivatives The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations and certain commodity risks. In order to manage these risks, the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted sales and purchases which occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had contracts with total notional amounts of $174,906 and $184,565, respectively, to exchange currencies, principally euro, pound sterling, Swedish krona, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and Swiss franc. The Company believes it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur. In addition, the Company had outstanding contracts with a total notional amount of $110,002 and $102,509 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded: Fair Value Asset (Liability) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Balance Sheet Caption Foreign currency forward $ 1,980 $ 944 Prepaid and other current assets Foreign currency forward (931) (2,760) Other accrued expenses For a cash flow hedge, the change in estimated fair value of a hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and is reclassified into revenues, cost of goods and services, or selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction is settled. The amount of gains or losses from hedging activity recorded in earnings is not significant, and the amount of unrealized gains and losses from cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not significant; therefore, additional tabular disclosures are not presented. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the Company's derivative instruments that are subject to credit risk contingent features were not significant. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the financial instrument contracts held by the Company; however, nonperformance by these counterparties is considered unlikely as the Company’s policy is to contract with highly-rated, diversified counterparties. The Company has designated the €600,000 and €500,000 of euro-denominated notes issued November 9, 2016 and November 4, 2019, respectively, as hedges of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive earnings (loss) of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings to offset changes in the value of the net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt resulting from exchange rate differences are offset by changes in the net investment due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive earnings for the gains (losses) on net investment hedges were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Gain on euro-denominated debt $ 32,773 $ 94,731 $ 262 $ 179,221 Tax expense (7,274) (21,020) (58) (39,990) Net gain on net investment hedges, net of tax $ 25,499 $ 73,711 $ 204 $ 139,231 Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Level 2 Level 2 Assets: Foreign currency cash flow hedges $ 1,980 $ 944 Liabilities: Foreign currency cash flow hedges 931 2,760 The derivative contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company's financial instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , w as $2,761,155 and $2,786,862, respectively. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 18.3% and 19.0%, r espectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to favorable audit resolutions. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 19.2% and 16.8%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily driven by favorable audit resolutions in 2022, including $22,579 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Dover and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S., including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions. We believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The Company is routinely audited by taxing authorities in its filing jurisdictions, and a number of these audits are currently underway. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0 to $4,007. The Company believes there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available to reach a conclusion that the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets will no longer be needed. Releasing the valuation allowance, or a portion thereof, would result in the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change.

Equity Incentive Program

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Program	13. Equity Incentive Program The Company typically makes its annual grants of equity awards pursuant to actions taken by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued stock-settled appreciation rights ("SARs") covering 359,715 shares, performance share awards ("PSAs") of 43,656 and restricted stock units ("RSUs") of 88,121. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued SARs covering 335,285 shares, PSAs of 40,087 and RSUs of 79,556. 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 awards 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 were as follows: SARs 2023 2022 Risk-free interest rate 3.91 % 1.86 % Dividend yield 1.32 % 1.25 % Expected life (years) 5.4 5.4 Volatility 30.65 % 29.46 % Grant price $153.25 $160.21 Fair value per share at date of grant $47.27 $42.07 The PSAs granted in 2023 and 2022 are market condition awards as attainment is based on Dover's performance relative to its peer group (companies listed under the S&P 500 Industrials sector) for the relevant performance period. The performance period and vesting period for these awards is three years. These awards were valued on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model (a binomial lattice-based valuation model) and are generally recognized ratably over the vesting period, and the fair value is not subject to change based on future market conditions. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the PSAs granted in the respective periods were as follows: PSAs 2023 2022 Risk-free interest rate 4.28 % 1.68 % Dividend yield 1.32 % 1.25 % Expected life (years) 2.9 2.9 Volatility 27.30 % 31.10 % Grant price $153.25 $160.21 Fair value per share at date of grant $249.48 $196.40 The Company also has granted RSUs, and the fair value of these awards was determined using Dover's closing stock price on the date of grant, which was $153.25 and $160.21 for RSUs granted in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation is reported within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The following table summarizes the Company’s compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense $ 6,745 $ 6,326 $ 25,468 $ 24,657 Tax benefit (715) (591) (2,666) (2,437) Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax $ 6,030 $ 5,735 $ 22,802 $ 22,220

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	14. 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 which provide for the allocation of such costs among "potentially responsible parties." In each instance, the extent of the Company’s liability appears to be relatively insignificant in relation to the total projected expenditures and the number of other "potentially responsible parties" involved and is anticipated to be immaterial to the Company. In addition, a few of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in ongoing remedial activities at certain current and former plant sites, in cooperation with regulatory agencies, and appropriate estimated liabilities have been established. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these estimated liabilities for environmental and other matters, including private party claims for exposure to hazardous substances that are probable and estimable, were not significant. The Company and some of its subsidiaries are also parties to a number of other legal proceedings incidental to their businesses. These proceedings primarily involve claims by private parties alleging injury arising out of use of the Company’s products, patent infringement, employment matters and commercial disputes. Management and legal counsel, at least quarterly, review the probable outcome of such proceedings, the costs and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred and currently accrued to-date and consider the availability and extent of insurance coverage. The Company has estimated liabilities for these other legal matters that are probable and estimable, and at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these estimated liabilities were immaterial. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions, in the opinion of management, based on the aforementioned reviews, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Warranty Accruals Estimated warranty program claims are provided for at the time of sale of the Company's products. Amounts provided for are based on historical costs and adjusted for new claims and are included within other accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the carrying amount of product warranties through September 30, 2023 and 2022, were as follows: 2023 2022 Balance at January 1 $ 48,449 $ 48,568 Provision for warranties 47,972 46,096 Settlements made (46,440) (46,135) Other adjustments, including acquisitions and currency translation (332) (2,233) Balance at September 30 $ 49,649 $ 46,296

Share Repurchases In August 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new standing share repurchase authorization whereby the Company may repurchase up to 20 million shares beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. In November 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a standing share repurchase authorization whereby the Company may repurchase up to 20 million shares beginning on January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no share repurchases. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a $500,000 accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with Bank of America N.A. ("Bank of America") to repurchase its shares in an accelerated share repurchase program (the "ASR Program"). The ASR Program is classified as equity, initially recorded at fair value with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company conducted the ASR Program under the current share repurchase authorization. The Company funded the ASR Program with net proceeds from commercial paper. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company paid Bank of America $500,000 on September 1, 2022 and on that date received initial deliveries of 3,201,025 shares, representing a substantial majority of the shares expected to be retired over the course of the ASR Agreement. In December 2022, Bank of America delivered 691,270 additional shares which completed the ASR Program. During 2022, the Company received a total of 3,892,295 shares upon completion of the ASR Agreement. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased under the ASR Agreement was based on the volume-weighted average share price of Dover's common stock during the calculation period of the ASR Program, less a discount, which was $128.46 over the term of the ASR Program. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, exclusive of the ASR Program, there were no share repurchases. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, exclusive of the ASR Program, the Company repurchased 641,428 shares of common stock at a total cost of $85,000, or $132.52 per share .

Earnings per Share The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the information used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net earnings $ 289,753 $ 286,026 $ 760,566 $ 801,797 Basic earnings per common share: Net earnings $ 2.07 $ 2.01 $ 5.44 $ 5.59 Weighted average shares outstanding 139,878,000 142,506,000 139,833,000 143,469,000 Diluted earnings per common share: Net earnings $ 2.06 $ 2.00 $ 5.41 $ 5.55 Weighted average shares outstanding 140,615,000 143,257,000 140,603,000 144,413,000 The following table is a reconciliation of the share amounts used in computing earnings per share: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Weighted average shares outstanding - Basic 139,878,000 142,506,000 139,833,000 143,469,000 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of SARs and vesting of performance shares and RSUs 737,000 751,000 770,000 944,000 Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted 140,615,000 143,257,000 140,603,000 144,413,000 Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of SARs and vesting of performance shares and RSUs, as determined using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation above were approximately 39,000 and 19,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 54,000 and 28,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	19. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04 Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The amendments in this update require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The Company adopted the guidance when it became effective on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program with a third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the SCF financial institution and, in addition, may elect to sell receivables due from the Company to the SCF financial institution for early payment. Thus, participating suppliers have additional potential flexibility in managing their liquidity by accelerating, at their option and cost, collection of receivables due from the Company. The Company and its suppliers agree on commercial terms, including payment terms, for the goods and services the Company procures, regardless of whether the supplier participates in SCF. For participating suppliers, the Company’s responsibility is limited to making all payments to the SCF financial institution on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier, irrespective of whether the supplier elects to sell receivables to the SCF financial institution. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the SCF financial institution and the Company's suppliers. The SCF financial institution pays the supplier on the invoice due date for any invoices that were not previously sold by the supplier. The agreement between the Company and the SCF financial institution does not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees. Outstanding payments related to the SCF program are recorded within accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts due to the SCF financial institution were approximately $188,902 and $194,362, respectively.
