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 required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and 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, 2010, 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. 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. Acquisitions
The following table details the acquisitions made during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
2011 Acquisitions
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Date | | Type | | Company / Product Line Acquired | | Location (Near) | | Segment | | Platform | | Company |
3-Jan | | Stock | | Harbison-Fischer, Inc. | | Crowley, TX | | Fluid Management | | Energy | | Norris Production Solutions |
Designer and manufacturer of down-hole rod pumps and related products used in artificial lift applications around the world. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
5-Jan | | Asset/Stock | | Dosmatic, Inc. | | Carrollton, TX | | Fluid Management | | Fluid Solutions | | Hydro Systems |
Manufacturer of non-electric chemical metering equipment used in agricultural, horticulture and other industrial market segments. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
26-Jan | | Stock | | TAGC Limited LLC | | Muscat, Oman | | Fluid Management | | Energy | | Norris Production Solutions |
Oilfield services provider, servicing both conventional and coiled sucker rod wells in the Middle East. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
28-Jan | | Asset | | EnviroGear Product Line | | Franklin Park, IL | | Fluid Management | | Fluid Solutions | | Pump Solutions Group |
Manufacturer of magnetically coupled internal gear pumps used in a wide range of industrial manufacturing. |
The Company acquired these businesses in four separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $423,998, net of cash acquired. The 2011 acquisitions are wholly-owned, with the exception of TAGC Limited LLC in which the Company acquired a 60% controlling interest. The non-controlling interest in TAGC Limited LLC is not material. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes the results of these businesses from the dates of acquisition. The aggregate revenue of the 2011 acquisitions included in the Company’s consolidated revenue totaled $43,254 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The Company has substantially finalized its appraisals of tangible and intangible assets and its evaluation of the purchase price allocations for the 2011 acquisitions, with the exception of certain inventory valuations relating to the Harbison-Fischer acquisition. Accordingly, management has used its best estimates for the purchase price allocations as of the date of these financial statements and any subsequent revisions during the measurement period are not expected to be significant.
The following presents the allocation of the acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values:
| | | | |
|
Current assets, net of cash acquired | | $ | 81,848 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | | 41,487 | |
Goodwill | | | 234,962 | |
Intangible assets | | | 190,550 | |
Other | | | (1,118 | ) |
Total liabilities | | | (123,731 | ) |
| | | |
Net assets acquired | | | 423,998 | |
| | | |
As a result of these acquisitions, the Company recorded approximately $178,271 of customer-related intangible assets (weighted average lives of 12 years), $8,535 of trademarks (weighted average lives of 11 years), and $3,744 of other

(in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)
intangibles (weighted average lives of 7 years). The 2011 acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill totaling $234,962, of which $3,856 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Each of the businesses acquired in 2011 manufacture products and/or provide services in the energy and fluid solutions markets, each growth areas for the Company. These businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Fluid Management segment. As such, the goodwill identified by the acquisitions reflects the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies.
In accordance with ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations,” the following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on the Company’s revenue and net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, assuming that the 2011 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 2010. As a result, the supplemental pro forma net earnings reflect adjustments to the net earnings as reported in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to exclude $1,691 of nonrecurring expense (after-tax) related to the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory. The supplemental pro forma earnings for the comparable 2010 period were adjusted to include these charges. The 2011 and 2010 supplemental 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 2011 and 2010 acquisitions.

These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisitions occurred on the dates indicated or that may result in the future.
As previously disclosed, the Company signed a definitive agreement in December 2010 to acquire the Sound Solutions business of NXP Semiconductors N.V. for approximately $855 million. The Company had announced its expectation that the transaction would close around the end of the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2011, subject to customary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other normal customary closing conditions. A non-US antitrust regulatory agency has requested additional briefings in connection with its review of the transaction. As a result, the Company currently anticipates a closing no earlier than mid-second quarter of 2011, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Sound Solutions is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of dynamic speakers and receivers for cell phones and other consumer electronics. The business will be incorporated into the Knowles business within the Dover Electronic Technologies segment, which will enhance the segment’s product offerings serving the high growth handset market.

5. 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. In order to manage this risk the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted sales and purchases, which 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had contracts with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of $48,830 and $63,935, respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar, British pound, Singapore dollar, Chinese yuan and Malaysian ringgit. The Company believes it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur.
The Company has an outstanding floating-to-floating cross currency swap agreement for a total notional amount of $50,000 in exchange for CHF 65,100. In February 2011, the Company amended and restated the terms of the arrangement to extend its maturity date to 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 reflected losses of $22,771 and $19,774, respectively, due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the arrangement.
In January 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to purchase $350,000 for €258,719, which were designated as hedging an equivalent amount of the Company’s euro denominated net investment. The agreements qualify as net investment hedges with the changes in fair value being reported within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. These arrangements, which had fair values reflecting losses of $17,086 at March 31, 2011, were settled on April 4, 2011.

The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value - Asset (Liability) | | |
| | March 31, 2011 | | December 31, 2010 | | Balance Sheet Caption |
Foreign currency forward / collar contracts | | $ | 249 | | | $ | 503 | | | Prepaid / Other assets |
Foreign currency forward / collar contracts | | | (4 | ) | | | — | | | Other accrued expenses |

Net investment hedge — foreign currency forwards | | | (17,086 | ) | | | — | | | Other liabilities |
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 which 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 there are no credit risk related contingent features in the Company’s derivative instruments.
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.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Short-term investments consist of investment grade time deposits with original maturities between three months and one year and are included in current assets in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short-term investments are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. 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 valuation hierarchy.
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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $2,380,995 and $1,961,697, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $2,187,594 and $1,792,811. The carrying value includes the portion that is due and payable in less than one year of $1,603 and $1,925 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments. The fair value of short-term loans, principally commercial paper at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximates carrying value.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

On February 22, 2011, the Company issued $450 million of 4.30% Notes due 2021 and $350 million of 5.375% Notes due 2041. The proceeds of $788,971 from the sale of the notes, net of discounts and issuance costs, were used to repay commercial paper, including commercial paper issued to repay the Company’s $400 million of 6.50% notes, which matured February 15, 2011, and for other general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Harbison-Fischer. The new notes are redeemable at the option of Dover in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price that includes a make-whole premium, with accrued interest to the redemption date.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included commercial paper of $38,000 and $15,000, respectively.

The Company maintains a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility which expires on November 9, 2012. 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 billion facility and does not anticipate doing so. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and the repurchases of its common stock.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $31,060 and $28,846, respectively. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $2,774 and $1,677, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes for continuing operations in interim periods is computed by applying its estimated annual effective tax rate against earnings before income tax expense for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items are recorded during the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 23.9% compared to the prior year rate of 31.4%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $8,016, arising principally from settlements with state taxing authorities. Excluding discrete items, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 27.2%, which is lower than the effective rate in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a more favorable mix of non-U.S. earnings in 2011. The Company believes additional uncertain tax positions will be settled during 2011; however, an estimate cannot be made due to the uncertainties associated with the resolution of these matters.
9. Discontinued Operations
Summarized results of the Company’s discontinued operations are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Revenue | | $ | — | | | $ | 9,380 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Loss on sale, net of taxes | | $ | — | | | $ | (13,277 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Gain from operations before taxes | | | 556 | | | | 425 | |
Benefit (provision) for income taxes | | | 11,043 | | | | (506 | ) |
| | | | | | |
Gain (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax | | $ | 11,599 | | | $ | (13,358 | ) |
| | | | | | |
The Company currently has no businesses held for sale in discontinued operations. The gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects the tax benefit resulting primarily from discrete tax items settled during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax reflects the sale of Triton, an operating company that had been reclassified from the Engineered Services segment to discontinued operations in 2008.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations primarily represent residual amounts for deferred tax assets, short and long-term reserves, and contingencies related to businesses previously sold.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
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 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.
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, exposure to hazardous substances, 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. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions, in the opinion of management, based on these reviews, it is unlikely that the disposition of the lawsuits and the other matters mentioned above will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Estimated warranty program claims are provided for at the time of sale. Amounts provided for are based on historical costs and adjusted new claims. The changes in the carrying amount of product warranties through March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Ending Balance, March 31 | | $ | 59,034 | | | $ | 59,351 | |
| | | | | | |
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $72,015 outstanding in letters of credit with financial institutions, which expire at various dates in 2011 through 2016. These letters of credit are primarily maintained as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations.
From time to time, the Company will initiate various restructuring programs at its operating companies and incur severance and other restructuring costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, restructuring charges of $87 and $1,393 were recorded in cost of goods and services and selling and administrative expenses, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, restructuring charges of $11 and $2,040 and were recorded in cost of goods and services and selling and administrative expenses, respectively.

14. Recent Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, which amended existing guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The ASU also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which includes: 1) vendor-specific objective evidence if available, 2) third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, and 3) estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available.
The majority of the Company’s businesses generate revenue through the manufacture and sale of a broad range of specialized products and components, with revenue recognized upon transfer of title and risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment. When the Company has multiple deliverables in its sales arrangements, they are typically separate units of accounting with vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price. The Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2009-13 on a prospective basis, effective January 1, 2011. The requirements of ASU 2009-13 did not significantly change the Company’s units of accounting or how the Company allocates arrangement consideration to various units of accounting. Therefore, the adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s statement of position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 which eliminates tangible products containing both software and non-software components that operate together to deliver a product’s functionality from the scope of then-current generally accepted accounting principles for software. The Company adopted ASU 2009-14 on a prospective basis, effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained below and throughout this quarterly report.
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Dover Corporation (“Dover” or the “Company”) is a global manufacturer of innovative components and equipment, specialty systems and support services for a variety of applications in the industrial products, engineered systems, fluid management and electronic technologies markets. Dover discusses its operations at the platform level within the Industrial Products, Engineered Systems and Fluid Management segments, which contain two platforms each. Electronic Technologies’ results are discussed at the segment level.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company continued to experience strong demand across most end-markets, with sequential and year-over-growth in bookings and backlog. As a result, the Company generated revenue of $2.0 billion during the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 24% compared to the prior year. Gross profit grew $136.7 million or 22% on the strength of increased volume. The Company continues to focus on the execution of its strategies around product innovation, global expansion, leveraging its scale and disciplined capital allocation.
Given its strong performance in the quarter and its solid level of bookings and backlog, the Company estimates that its 2011 full year organic revenue growth will be in the range of 9% to 11% (assuming a negligible impact from foreign currency) and acquisition related growth to be approximately 3% for transactions completed in 2010 and through the first quarter of 2011. Based on these assumptions, the Company has projected that its continuing diluted earnings per share for 2011 will be in the range of $4.30 to $4.45. If the global or domestic economic conditions accelerate or deteriorate, Dover’s operating results for 2011 could be materially different than currently projected.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2011 increased $375.8 million or 24% from the comparable 2010 quarter reflecting organic revenue growth of 19%, growth of 4% related to acquisitions, and a 1% favorable impact from foreign exchange. The organic growth reflects volume increases across all of the Company’s segments, driven by continued higher demand in the majority of the Company’s end-markets, with particular strength in the energy market and end-markets served by material handling industrial products.
Gross profit increased $136.7 million or 22% compared to the prior year quarter reflecting the increased sales volumes and benefits from pricing actions and productivity initiatives, which more than offset increased material costs. Gross profit margin decreased 50 basis points to 38.2% in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of higher raw material costs that have yet to be recovered by selling price increases as well as a higher proportion of revenue generated by lower margin industrial products businesses.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $69.4 million or 17% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to general increases across the segments in support of higher volumes. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses declined to 24.4% compared to 25.8% in the prior year quarter. This 140 basis point improvement reflects leverage from the higher revenue levels.
Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2011 increased by $1.1 million or 4% compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances in the 2011 period compared to the prior year. As discussed in Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s total debt increased approximately $400 million during the quarter, as the Company issued $800 million in new notes, approximately half of which repaid outstanding commercial paper balances.
Other expense (income), net primarily reflects the impact of net losses from foreign exchange fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, coupled with other miscellaneous non-operating gains and losses, none of which were individually, or in the aggregate, significant.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 23.9% compared to the prior period rate of 31.4%. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by net discrete items totaling $8.0 million, arising principally from first quarter settlements with state taxing authorities. Excluding discrete items, the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2011 was 27.2%, which is lower than the effective rate in the first quarter of 2010 primarily due to a more favorable mix of non-U.S. earnings in 2011. While the Company believes additional uncertain tax positions will be settled during 2011, an estimate cannot be made due to the uncertainties associated with the resolution of these matters.
Earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter increased 51% to $183.3 million, or $0.96 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), compared to $121.5 million, or $0.65 diluted EPS, in the prior year first quarter. Net earnings for the first quarter were $194.9 million or $1.03 diluted EPS including a gain from discontinued operations of $11.6 million or $0.06 EPS, compared to net earnings of $108.1 million or $0.58 diluted EPS for the 2010 first quarter, including a loss from discontinued operations of $13.4 million or $0.07 EPS. These increases were primarily a result of end-market improvements across all of the Company’s segments driving increased sales volume, coupled with the first quarter tax benefit noted above.
The gain from discontinued operations, net of tax for the first quarter of 2011 reflects a tax benefit resulting primarily from discrete tax items settled during the period. For the first quarter of 2010, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax related primarily to the loss generated by the sale of a business that had been previously reflected as a discontinued operation.
Severance and Other Restructuring Reserves
The Company does not have any significant restructuring activities underway, but in both 2011 and 2010 initiated a few targeted facility consolidations at its operating companies. As a result, the Company incurred restructuring charges totaling $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company does not expect to incur significant restructuring charges over the remainder of 2011, but will continue to monitor business activity across its end markets served and adjust capacity as necessary depending on the economic climate.

Industrial Products 2011 first quarter revenue and earnings increased by 21% and 26%, respectively, from the first quarter of the prior year primarily due to broad-based volume growth in most of the segments businesses. The revenue increase was attributed to growth in core business revenue of 20%, coupled with growth of 1% from Gear Products, a 2010 acquisition made by the Tulsa Winch business in its Material Handling platform. Earnings and margin in the first quarter of 2011 were favorably impacted by increased volume, particularly in infrastructure and energy markets, and the benefits associated with productivity initiatives, offset in part by additional selling and administrative investments necessary to support the segment’s growth initiatives.
Material Handling revenue increased 34%, when compared to the prior year first quarter, while earnings increased 45%. Higher sales volumes drove organic revenue growth of 31%, with the remaining 3% growth due to the acquisition of Gear Products noted above. Revenue improvements resulted from increased activity across most end-markets, including infrastructure and energy. Earnings and operating margin improved due to increased sales volume, offset in part by additional selling and administrative investments necessary to support the segment’s growth initiatives and lower margin product mix.
Mobile Equipment revenue increased 11% while earnings increased 4% compared to the prior year first quarter. The revenue growth was attributed to higher demand for crude oil and dry bulk commercial trailers and vehicle service offerings, offset in part by lower defense revenues and softness in refuse vehicle markets due to municipality budgetary constraints. Earnings increased as a result of the higher volumes, but margins decreased 100 basis points, primarily reflecting changes in product mix on lower defense and refuse vehicle revenue.

Engineered Systems 2011 first quarter revenue and earnings increased by 16% and 23%, respectively, from the first quarter of the prior year. The increase in revenue was supported by organic revenue growth of 14%, a 2% favorable foreign currency impact and a negligible increase from the acquisitions completed in 2010. The revenue and earnings increase was substantially driven by volume growth in refrigeration and heat transfer systems and food and beverage packaging machines, coupled with the benefits from pricing actions and productivity initiatives, which partially offset material cost escalation during the period.
Engineered Products first quarter revenue increased 23% while earnings increased by 46%. Core business revenue increased 22% driven by volume growth in refrigeration and heat transfer systems and food and beverage packaging machines. Growth from the Intek acquisition completed in 2010 and favorable foreign currency positively impacted revenues by 1%. The platform’s earnings and operating margin were favorably impacted by the higher core sales volume, benefits from pricing actions and productivity initiatives, which helped to offset higher material costs.
Product Identification revenue and earnings increased 7%, driven by organic growth of 5% in the direct coding business, coupled with a 2% favorable foreign currency impact. Platform earnings increased 5% as a result of the increased volume, but operating margin decreased 30 basis points, primarily due to new product introduction costs and increased investment in emerging markets.

Fluid Management 2011 first quarter revenue and earnings increased by 34% and 31%, respectively, over the prior year first quarter. The improvement in revenue was driven by a 20% increase in core business revenue and a 13% increase from acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011, with minimal foreign currency impact. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to continued strength in the oil and gas markets served by the Energy platform as well as in the industrial markets served by the Fluid Solutions platform, along with positive price recovery and market share gains at select operating companies. The increase in segment earnings reflects the benefit of higher sales volumes, pricing actions and productivity

improvements, while the slight decline in operating margin resulted primarily from one-time acquisition related costs of $5.4 million. Adjusting for these one-time costs, segment margin was 23.4%, a 60 basis point improvement over the 2010 period.
Energy revenue and earnings increased over the prior year quarter by 48% and 45%, respectively. Organic revenue growth of 23% was driven by higher demand and market share gains in the oil and gas sector, while acquisitions completed in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 contributed revenue growth of 24% and foreign currency had a favorable impact of 1%. The earnings improvement was driven by the significantly higher volumes and productivity improvements, while operating margin decreased 70 basis points due to one-time acquisition related costs.
Fluid Solutions revenue and earnings increased over the prior year quarter by 17% and 22%, respectively. Organic revenue growth of 16% was driven by broad-based growth across many end-markets, including chemical, food and beverage and transportation, while acquisitions completed in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 contributed revenue growth of 1%. Earnings were favorably impacted by the increased volumes and productivity improvements, which also drove an 80 basis point improvement in operating margin.

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $46 million from the prior year period, primarily due to increased net earnings during the 2011 period. In addition, the Company’s use of working capital in the 2011 period was approximately $53 million less than in the 2010 period, at which time the Company was building up working capital to support the ramp up of activity after the economic slowdown experienced through much of 2009. The increased cash flow generated by higher earnings and the lower use of working capital was offset in part by higher payouts of accrued expenses such as employee incentive accruals.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $344 million compared to $148 million for the same period of 2010. In the 2011 period, the Company used $424 million to acquire four businesses in the Fluid Management segment, while the Company made no acquisitions in the first quarter of 2010. In addition, the Company’s capital expenditures were $13 million higher in the 2011 period, reflecting increased investment in capacity expansion within the Company’s high-growth businesses. The increased spending on acquisitions and capital expenditures in the 2011 period was offset in part by $242 higher net proceeds from the sale and purchase of short-term investments. The Company expects full year 2011 capital expenditures to approximate 2.8% to 3.0% of revenue. The Company currently anticipates that additional capital expenditures and any acquisitions made during the remainder of the year 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 markets.
Financing activities provided cash of $351 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $70 million in the 2010 period. The increase in cash provided in the 2011 period was primarily due to the $789 million of net proceeds realized from the 4.3% 10-year Notes due 2021 and 5.375% 30-year Notes due 2041 issued in February, partially offset by the net repayment of $400 million of other borrowings, principally commercial paper used to repay the 6.50% 10-year Notes which came due earlier in February 2011. This compares to net proceeds of $127 million from commercial paper issued in the 2010 period to finance the Company’s short term liquidity needs at that time. Cash flows from financing activities also consist of repurchases of common stock, proceeds from the issuance of common stock and payment of dividends to shareholders.
Adjusted Working Capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) increased from December 31, 2010 by $134 million, or 10%, to $1.5 billion which reflected an increase in receivables of $126 million, an increase in inventory of $131 million and an increase in accounts payable of $123 million generally due to higher order and sales volume. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of foreign exchange translation, Adjusted Working Capital would have increased by $42 million, or 3%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to measuring its cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company also measures free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure). Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase Dover’s common stock. The Company’s free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $32 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the higher earnings and lower investment in working capital, offset in part by the increase in capital expenditures during the period.
The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
Free Cash Flow(in thousands) | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Cash flow provided by operating activities | | $ | 132,609 | | | $ | 87,066 | |
Less: Capital expenditures | | | 52,650 | | | | 39,336 | |
| | | | | | |
Free cash flow | | $ | 79,959 | | | $ | 47,730 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue | | | 4.1 | % | | | 3.0 | % |
| | | | | | |
The Company generated free cash flow of $80.0 million, representing 4.1% of revenue and 43.6% of earnings from continuing operations, while continuing to make investments necessary to support the growing businesses. Free cash flow generated during the quarter reflects typical seasonality. The Company expects that free cash flow levels will remain at historical levels of approximately 10% of revenue for the full year.
The Company utilizes the net debt to net capitalization calculation (a non-GAAP measure) to assess its overall financial leverage and capacity and believes 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 measure:
| | | | | | | | |
Net Debt to Net Capitalization Ratio(in thousands) | | March 31, 2011 | | | December 31, 2010 | |
Current maturities of long-term debt | | $ | 1,245 | | | $ | 1,925 | |
Commercial paper and other short-term debt | | | 38,358 | | | | 15,000 | |
Long-term debt | | | 2,185,991 | | | | 1,790,886 | |

| | | | | | |
Net debt to net capitalization | | | 15.2 | % | | | 9.9 | % |
| | | | | | |
The Company’s net debt to net capitalization ratio increased to 15.2% at March 31, 2011 from 9.9% at December 31, 2010, primarily due to the use of $424 million of cash to fund acquisitions during the quarter. Total debt increased by $418 million during the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to $789 million of net proceeds from the 4.3% 10-year Notes due 2021 and 5.375% 30-year Notes due 2041 issued in February, partially offset by the net repayment of $400 million of other borrowings, principally commercial paper used to repay the 6.50% 10-year Notes which came due earlier in February 2011.
At March 31, 2011, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $1.4 billion, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010. Cash and equivalents are invested in highly liquid investment grade money market instruments with maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly invests cash in excess of near-term requirements in short-term investments, which consist of investment grade time deposits with original maturity dates at the time of purchase greater than three months, up to twelve months.
25
At March 31, 2011, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents included $1.3 billion held outside of the United States, and the Company intends to use a significant portion of this to fund the Sound Solutions acquisition, as described in Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of its common stock. The Company currently maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks which permits borrowings up to $1 billion, which expires on November 9, 2012. This facility is used primarily as liquidity back-up for the Company’s commercial paper program. The Company has not drawn down any loans under this facility nor does it anticipate doing so. If the Company were to draw down a loan, at the Company’s election, the loan would bear interest at a Eurodollar or Sterling rate based on LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.13% to 0.35% (subject to adjustment based on the rating accorded the Company’s 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, the Company is required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.5 to 1. The Company was in compliance with this covenant and its other long-term debt covenants at March 31, 2011 and had a coverage ratio of 12.8 to 1.
The Company also has a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, with remaining capacity of $1 billion 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.
The Company has an outstanding floating-to-floating cross currency swap agreement for a total notional amount of $50 million in exchange for CHF 65.1 million. In February 2011, the Company amended and restated the terms of the arrangement to extend its maturity date to 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 value at March 31, 2011 reflected a loss of $22.8 million due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of this arrangement.
In January 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to purchase $350 million for €258.7 million, which were designated as hedging an equivalent amount of the Company’s euro denominated net investment. The agreements qualify as net investment hedges with the changes in fair value being reported within the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. These arrangements, which had fair values reflecting a loss of $17.1 million at March 31, 2011, were settled on April 4, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP 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 the public disclosures of the Company, including information regarding contingencies, risk and its financial condition. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conform to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness on a consistent basis throughout the Company.
Recent Accounting Standards
See Note 14 — Recent Accounting Standards. The adoption of recent accounting standards as included in Note 14 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s revenue, earnings or liquidity.
Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, especially “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to, among other things, income, earnings,
26
cash flows, changes in operations, operating improvements, industries in which Dover companies operate and the U.S. and global economies. Statements in this 10-Q that are not historical are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “supports,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “hope,” “forecast,” “management is of the opinion,” 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 from current expectations including, but not limited to: political events that could impact the worldwide economy; the impact of natural disasters and their effect on global supply chains and energy markets; increases in the cost of raw materials; the Company’s ability to achieve expected savings from integration, synergy and other cost-control initiatives; the ability to identify and successfully consummate value-adding acquisition opportunities; increased competition and pricing pressures in the markets served by Dover’s operating companies; the ability of Dover’s companies to expand into new geographic markets and to anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements; the impact of loss of a single-source manufacturing facility; changes in customer demand; current economic conditions and uncertainties in the credit and capital markets; a downgrade in Dover’s credit ratings; international economic conditions including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the relative mix of products and services which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; short-term capacity constraints; domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental regulations and tax policies (including domestic and international export subsidy programs, R&E credits and other similar programs); unforeseen developments in contingencies such as litigation; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the cyclical nature of some of Dover’s companies; domestic housing industry weakness; instability in the countries where Dover conducts business; and possible future terrorist threats and their effect on the worldwide economy. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Information
In an effort to provide investors with information regarding the Company’s results in addition to that as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company also discloses non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt, total debt, net capitalization, Adjusted Working Capital, earnings adjusted for non-recurring 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 and working capital as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes 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 the Company’s capital structure and the amount of leverage it employs. 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 the Company’s common stock. Reconciliations of free cash flow, total debt and net debt can be found in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section within Item 2-Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Management believes 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 the Company’s operational results by showing the changes caused solely by revenue. Management believes 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 the Company’s operational changes, given the global nature of Dover’s businesses. Management believes 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 the Company’s revenue performance and trends between periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the first three months of 2011. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
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 March 31, 2011.
During the first quarter of 2011, 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. In making its assessment of changes in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, management has excluded those companies acquired in purchase business combinations during the twelve months ended March 31, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the control environments of these acquisitions. With the exception of TAGC Limited LLC, in which the Company has a 60% controlling interest, these companies are wholly-owned by the Company and their total revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 represents approximately 3.1% of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the same period. Their assets, including goodwill, represent approximately 7.2% of the Company’s consolidated assets at March 31, 2011.
