DOVER REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2005 RESULTS

New York, New York, January 26, 2006 — Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) announced that for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005, it had revenue of $1,613.6 million, an increase of 19% over the prior-year period, and earnings from continuing operations of $125.1 million or $0.61 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), compared to $96.3 million or $0.47 EPS from continuing operations in the prior year, both representing an increase of 30%. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $116.1 million or $0.57 EPS, including a net loss of $8.9 million or $0.04 EPS from discontinued operations, compared to $97.1 million or $0.47 EPS for the same period of 2004, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.8 million or less than $0.01 EPS. In the fourth quarter, discontinued businesses had a net operating loss (excluding gains/losses on sales and write-offs) of $0.7 million, with no impact on EPS.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Dover had revenue of $6,078.4 million and earnings from continuing operations of $474.5 million, or $2.32 EPS, up 17% and 21%, respectively, compared to revenue of $5,217.1 million and earnings from continuing operations of $394.2 million, or $1.92 EPS for 2004. Net earnings for the full year were $510.1 million or $2.50 EPS, including earnings of $35.7 million or $0.17 EPS from discontinued operations, compared to $412.8 million or $2.02 EPS, including earnings of $18.6 million or $0.09 EPS from discontinued operations for the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2005, seven businesses were classified as discontinued. These businesses had net operating earnings of $7.7 million or $0.04 EPS for the year. All continuing operations information has been restated to reflect the discontinuance of these companies.

Commenting on the company’s results and the current outlook, Dover’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Ronald L. Hoffman, said: “In addition to marking our 50^th anniversary, 2005 was a truly outstanding year for Dover. Not only did we generate revenue of over $6 billion for the first time in our company’s history, but we surpassed our 2004 performance by every other key measure, and are closing in on Dover’s highest annual record earnings from continuing operations set in 2000. We also spent a record $1.1 billion on acquisitions, including $910 million on two stand—alone companies, Knowles Electronics and Colder Products, which are poised to be major contributors to Dover’s future growth.

“I am personally very pleased that we are already realizing tangible benefits from the new organizational structure we put in place at the beginning of 2005. Our six subsidiary model is

2

driving improvements in market and operational focus, acquisition capacity and leadership strength and an even sharper focus on achieving operational excellence. All of our companies are working hard to meet or exceed the Dover metrics we have established for benchmarking our operating performance, and we are seeing positive results in all key areas, particularly working capital and operating margins.

“All six of our segments showed earnings improvements over the prior year with five generating increases of 20% or greater. Most of our segments were also able to deliver improvements in operating leverage and margins and there are good indications that these positive trends will continue.

“We also initiated a strategic review of Dover’s portfolio of businesses in 2005. Over the course of the year, we made the decision to discontinue seven businesses, four of which have been sold, generating $159.3 million in net proceeds for the year. In each case, we determined that these businesses either were not essential contributors to Dover’s long-term strategy or could be sold at an attractive price to an opportunistic buyer who could better utilize the assets. We will continue this strategic review in 2006, relying on the expertise and judgment of our subsidiary presidents.

“We had a key management transition at year-end, as David Van Loan became President and Chief Executive Officer of Dover Technologies effective January 1st of this year. David succeeds John Pomeroy who retired at year end after leading the Technologies subsidiary for the past eighteen years. We feel very fortunate to have someone of David’s caliber to step into John’s shoes and I am looking forward to working closely with him in the coming years.

“With respect to our expectations for 2006, we anticipate another solid year based on our record bookings and backlog levels, strong new product development efforts, recent acquisitions and the positive results from our renewed operational focus. Overall industrial market conditions remain strong, particularly in the energy, mobile equipment and product identification markets we serve. The Dover companies that provide equipment and components to the global electronics markets have also shown positive signs based on recent bookings and backlog levels.

“As I look back on Dover’s many accomplishments in 2005, my first year as CEO of Dover, I am delighted with the progress we have made. Our achievements would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the great people around the world that work for Dover. I am extremely proud of their performance and optimistic about our prospects for an even brighter future.”

Diversified’s fourth quarter revenue and earnings increases reflected improvements in both the Industrial and Process Equipment groups. Bookings and backlog for the quarter and full year both exceeded prior-year levels with growth in the aerospace, defense, heat exchanger and oil and gas markets.

Industrial Equipment’s revenue and earnings increased 21% and 19%, respectively, over the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was driven primarily by strength in the aerospace market, while increased volume and moderating raw material prices helped generate the earnings improvement. The slight decrease in margin was the result of an unfavorable product mix and acquisition-related costs, partially offset by volume increases. The automotive and powersports business was down as gains from the North American professional racing market were not enough to offset a weak powersports market. Bookings increased 21%, generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.12, and backlog increased 22%. Full year revenue and earnings were up 27% and 17%, respectively, driven by sales increases in the aerospace and construction markets.

Process Equipment realized a fourth quarter earnings increase of 28% as compared to the prior year quarter, on a 19% revenue increase. Earnings growth was driven primarily by higher volume from the strong oil and gas market for bearings and the expanding HVAC markets for heat exchangers, as well as productivity gains. Bookings increased 21%, backlog grew 30%, and the book-to-bill ratio was 0.97. Full-year revenue and earnings rose 19% and 33%, respectively, and margin grew by 150 basis points (“bps”) to over 15%, reflecting double digit revenue growth in all areas, and significant earnings and margin growth in the bearings market.

In 2006, Dover expects Diversified’s record backlog, positive sales trends and continued operational focus to result in further top and bottom line gains.

Backlog											173,078			98,088			76	%

The increase in both revenue and earnings at Electronics was fueled by the acquisition of two significant Components companies in the third quarter of 2005 and operating improvements within core businesses, although these gains were partially offset by decreases in Commercial Equipment. Sequentially, earnings more than doubled on a 60% revenue increase due to the new additions to Components, as well as the recovery of the ATM business following the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina in the third quarter. Even with significant acquisition charges, the two acquisitions were accretive to segment earnings in the quarter.

Components more than quadrupled its quarterly operating earnings and tripled its margins on an 89% increase in revenue over the prior year quarter, reflecting the impact of the acquisitions as well as earnings growth in almost all of the other Components businesses. These gains include costs of $1.3 million related to the integration of CFC, a 2004 Vectron acquisition, which has essentially been completed at a total cost of $5.3 million for the full year. Bookings increased 128%, backlog grew 81%, and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.17. Full year revenue and earnings were up 46% and 128%, respectively, and margin gained 400 bps to exceed 11%, reflecting the favorable impact of the acquisitions and operating improvements at the electronic component companies.

4

Commercial Equipment quarterly revenue and earnings decreased 10% and 17%, respectively, compared to the prior year, due to a slower U.S. market in December for the ATM business, whose operations have since recovered from the third quarter impact of Hurricane Katrina. Bookings decreased 15%, backlog grew 23%, and the book-to-bill ratio was 0.97. Full year revenue was flat, with earnings down 23% and a decrease in margins of approximately 400 bps, reflecting some market softness and the effect of Hurricane Katrina.

The company anticipates significant growth in this segment in 2006 driven by the strong current backlog, continued gains from the 2005 acquisitions, ongoing cost rationalizations and the pursuit of further growth initiatives.

Industries

	Three Months Ended December 31,									Twelve Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2005			2004			% Change			2005			2004			% Change
Revenue	$	214,187		$	203,412			5	%	$	847,345		$	773,440			10	%
Segment earnings		30,089			22,748			32	%		106,080			88,742			20	%

Book-to-Bill		1.08			0.97						1.03			1.04
Backlog											227,079			197,126			15	%

Revenue and earnings increases in Industries were driven primarily by the Mobile Equipment group, partially offset by decreases at the Service Equipment group. Bookings and backlog both exceeded prior-year levels on improved strength in the environmental and military markets. Industries earnings in the fourth quarter reached a record high and marked the third sequential quarterly increase.

Continued strong military sales and strength in the oil field industry contributed to Mobile Equipment revenue increase of 13% over the prior-year quarter. Earnings in this group more than doubled, driven by higher volume and continued cost control initiatives. In addition, earnings were positively impacted by a gain of approximately $1 million on the sale of a facility. Bookings increased 28% driven by strong demand for trailer and refuse products, generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.14 and a backlog increase of 15%. Full-year revenue and earnings were up 15% and 45%, respectively, with margins up 270 bps, led by strong military sales and strength in environmental markets.

Service Equipment revenue and earnings declined 6% and 16%, respectively. Continued weakness in the automotive service industry contributed to the volume shortfall, although market share increased in the quarter. Earnings were negatively impacted by the revenue decline, product mix, new product introduction costs, and a facility shutdown. Bookings were essentially flat, backlogs increased 18% and the book-to-bill ratio was 0.96. Full year revenue and margin were flat while earnings declined moderately, reflecting overall end market conditions.

In light of the current backlog, general market conditions and the implementation of renewed operational improvement efforts, Dover expects the Industries segment to generate further growth in revenue, earnings and margin in 2006.

Resources generated record quarterly revenue and earnings as a result of strong market fundamentals, with the exception of the retail fueling and automotive markets. For the full year, Resources had record revenue, earnings, margin, bookings and backlog, reflecting positive market fundamentals, acquisitions and improved operating efficiencies.

Oil and Gas Equipment again delivered the best quarterly results in the segment with increases in revenue and earnings of 43% and 53%, respectively, due to continued robust demand for its energy-related products. Bookings increased by 35%, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.02 and backlog increased 58%. Full-year revenue and earnings rose 52% and 62%, respectively, and margin continued to improve, driven by favorable market conditions.

Strong refining, petrochemical, and transportation markets, partially offset by weakness in the retail petroleum markets, contributed to a 13% revenue increase and a 41% earnings increase in Fluid Solutions for the quarter. Bookings were up 8%, and backlog was up 6%, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.00. For the full year, revenue grew 14%, earnings were up 20%, margin increased 80 bps and backlog grew 6% as bookings moderated slightly.

For the quarter, Material Handling realized an increase in revenue of 8% while earnings grew 4% largely due to strategic realignment costs at one of the businesses. The increase in revenue was driven by demand in the construction, crane, aerial lift, petroleum, and military markets, partially offset by slow demand from the automotive industry. Bookings were up 11%, and backlog was up 20%, with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.97. Full-year revenue was up 14%, and earnings grew 6% while margin declined due to the same factors that impacted quarterly results.

Dover expects Resources to deliver another solid performance in 2006 given expectations for continued strength in the energy markets and the segment’s solid overall bookings and backlog, and continued focus on operational excellence.

Systems quarterly revenue increase was driven primarily by Food Equipment, while earnings decreased at both Food Equipment and Packaging Equipment due to weakness in the packaging closure equipment business. For the year, growth in revenue, earnings, bookings and backlog reflected strength in the supermarket equipment and can machinery markets.

Food Equipment quarterly revenue increased 6% due to higher supermarket and foodservice equipment sales, while earnings decreased 3% primarily due to higher costs to support anticipated sales growth in 2006. Sequentially, quarterly revenue and earnings decreased 20% and 49%, respectively, on lower seasonal demand in the supermarket equipment market. Bookings were essentially flat, and backlog was up 26%, with a book-to-bill ratio of 0.93. For the year, revenue and earnings increased 14% and 42%, respectively.

Quarterly revenue in Packaging Equipment increased 1% over the prior year quarter and 21% sequentially due to strength in the can machinery market, partially offset by a decline in packaging closure equipment sales which experienced weak demand, especially in Europe. Earnings decreased 7% compared to the prior year quarter due to reduced revenue and margins related to packaging closure system products and pricing pressures, but increased 71% sequentially. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.20, bookings increased 29% and backlog increased 89%. For the year, revenue and earnings were up 13% and 18%, respectively, and margins rose 80 bps, due to strength in can machinery sales.

Dover believes System’s strong backlog indicates further gains in 2006.

Technologies

	Three Months Ended December 31,									Twelve Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2005			2004			% Change			2005			2004			% Change
Revenue	$	423,796		$	353,866			20	%	$	1,586,576		$	1,469,902			8	%
Segment earnings		42,462			22,123			92	%		163,663			159,586			3	%
Operating margin		10.0	%		6.3	%					10.3	%		10.9	%
Bookings		442,514			327,350			35	%		1,632,805			1,453,204			12	%
Book-to-Bill		1.04			0.93						1.03			0.99
Backlog											203,255			165,746			23	%

Positive quarterly revenue and earnings increases reflect strength in the product identification market and several positive comparisons in the Circuit Assembly and Test (“CAT”) companies. Overall, the margin at Technologies improved despite costs of $8 million related to restructuring charges that are expected to have a positive impact on the segment’s financial performance going forward.

Revenue increased 21% at CAT, while earnings increased 80%. Sequentially, CAT reported revenue and earnings decreases of 3% and 31%, respectively. The majority of the sequential earnings decrease was due to restructuring charges of $6 million taken in the fourth quarter, principally related to certain facility closures. The back-end semiconductor markets showed continuing strength, as did the screen printing and soldering equipment markets. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.05, bookings increased 38% to their highest level since the second quarter of 2004, and backlog increased 32%. For the year, CAT revenue was essentially flat and earnings declined 24%, reflecting restructuring charges and general sales declines, except at the screen printer and wave solder companies.

Product Identification and Printing (“PIP”) reported an 18% and a 16% increase in revenue and earnings, respectively, over the fourth quarter of 2004. The increases were primarily attributable to the impact of the Datamax acquisition at the end of 2004. Sequentially, revenue was up 4%, while earnings decreased 6%, due to $2 million of restructuring charges for facility

7

closures and severance. The book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 1.03, bookings increased 30% and backlog increased 5%. For the year, PIP revenue and earnings were up 31% and 22%, respectively, reflecting restructuring costs, weakness in printing equipment markets and price competitiveness for marking equipment.

Strong backlog, coupled with the successful completion of the segment’s restructuring efforts, suggest a continued improvement in Technologies’ performance in 2006.

Other Information:

Dover measures operating company performance on the following five target metrics: Eight inventory turns; 10% earnings growth; 15% margins; 20% working capital to revenue; and 25% return on invested capital (“ROI”). In 2005, inventory turns improved to 6.0 turns from 4.9 turns in the prior year, segment earnings growth was 21%, segment margins were 12.7% compared to 12.2% in the prior year, working capital as a percentage of revenue improved to 21.3% from 22.8% in the prior year, and ROI, which includes approximately $1 billion in investment in the third quarter of 2005, was 13.1% compared to 12.7% in the prior year.

Of the 19% consolidated revenue growth that Dover realized in the fourth quarter, 10.5% came from organic growth and 10.6% from acquisitions, reduced by the impact of foreign exchange. Of the 30% growth in consolidated earnings from continuing operations, 25% came from organic growth, with the balance primarily from acquisitions.

For the year, consolidated revenue growth was 16.5%, with 8.2% from organic growth and 8.1% from acquisitions. Earnings growth of 20% was generated by 13.8% of organic growth, with 6.4% from acquisitions.

The increase in other earnings, net, for the quarter and year-to-date was driven largely by foreign exchange gains.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations was 24.8% for the fourth quarter, which reflects benefits related to the settlement of certain U.S. federal and state tax issues, compared to the prior-year quarter rate of 17.1%, which reflected the retroactive tax benefit from the reinstatement of the research and development tax credit in the prior-year quarter.

The full-year effective tax rate for continuing operations, which was 26.3%, compared to 25.4% in the prior-year period, includes a $12.6 million provision related to the repatriation of $373.7 million of dividends and a $25.5 million benefit primarily related to the resolution of U.S. tax issues and a $5.5 million first quarter benefit related to a favorable federal tax court decision. Excluding the repatriation provision, the full year 2005 effective tax rate for continuing operations was 24.3%. Dover expects the 2006 continuing effective tax rate to be between 28% and 30%.

Net proceeds from 2005 divestitures were $159.3 million. Net debt levels in 2005 increased $584.0 million when compared to 2004, driven by 2005 acquisition costs of $1.1 billion.

During 2005, Dover expanded its unsecured revolving credit facility to $1 billion, which is primarily used as liquidity back up for the Company’s commercial paper program. In addition, on October 13, 2005, the Company completed the placement of $300 million in 4.875% notes due 2015 and $300 million in 5.375% debentures due 2035, the proceeds of which funded acquisitions.

Free cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $510.6 million or 8.4% of revenue compared to $464.7 million or 8.9% of revenue in the prior year period, which included a tax refund of approximately $41 million in the first quarter of 2004. The 2005 increase in free cash flow reflected higher net earnings and a modest reduction in working capital, partially offset by pension contributions of $18 million to the Knowles Electronics Holdings, Inc. pension plan and increased capital expenditures and tax payments. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow with cash flows from operating activities.

	Twelve Months Ended December 31,
Free Cash Flow(in thousands )	2005			2004
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	662,717		$	567,246
Less: Capital expenditures		(152,113	)		(102,529	)
Free cash flow	$	510,604		$	464,717

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by GAAP, the Company also discloses non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt and total capitalization are not financial measures under GAAP, should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt and equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes the net debt-to-total-capitalization ratio and free cash flow are important measures of liquidity and operating performance because they provide both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends and repay debt.

Dover will host a Webcast of its fourth quarter 2005 conference call at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, January 27, 2006. The Webcast can be accessed at the Dover Corporation website atwww.dovercorporation.com. The conference call will also be made available for replay on the website and additional information on Dover’s fourth quarter 2005 results and its operating companies can also be found on the company website.
