Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Refer to the section below entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained below and throughout this quarterly report.
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Please see "Non-GAAP Disclosures" at the end of this Item 2 for further detail on these financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. Reconciliations within this MD&A provide more details on the use and derivation of these measures.
OVERVIEW
Dover is a diversified global manufacturer and solutions provider delivering innovative equipment and components, consumable supplies, aftermarket parts, software and digital solutions, and support services through five operating segments: Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Climate & Sustainability Technologies. The Company's entrepreneurial business model encourages, promotes and fosters deep customer engagement and collaboration, which has led to Dover's well-established and valued reputation for providing superior customer service and industry-leading product innovation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references herein to "Dover," "the Company," and words such as "we," "us," or "our" include Dover Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Dover's five operating segments are as follows:
-
Our Engineered Products segment provides a wide range of equipment, components, software, solutions and services to the vehicle aftermarket, aerospace and defense, industrial winch and hoist, and fluid dispensing end-markets.
-
Our Clean Energy & Fueling segment provides components, equipment, software solutions and services enabling safe and reliable storage, transport and dispensing of traditional and clean fuels (including liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, and electric vehicle charging), cryogenic gases, and other hazardous substances along the supply chain, and safe and efficient operation of convenience retail, retail fueling and vehicle wash establishments.
-
Our Imaging & Identification segment supplies precision marking and coding, product traceability, brand protection and digital textile printing equipment, as well as related consumables, software and services to the global packaged and consumer goods, pharmaceutical, industrial manufacturing, textile and other end-markets.
-
Our Pumps & Process Solutions segment manufactures specialty pumps and flow meters, fluid transfer connectors, highly engineered precision components, instruments and digital controls for rotating and reciprocating machines, and polymer processing equipment, serving single-use biopharmaceutical production, diversified industrial manufacturing applications, chemical production, plastics and polymer processing, midstream and downstream oil and gas, clean energy markets, thermal management, food and beverage, semiconductor production and medical applications and other end-markets.
-
Our Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment is a provider of innovative and energy-efficient equipment, components, solutions, services and parts for the commercial refrigeration, heating and cooling and beverage can-making equipment end-markets.
In the first quarter of 2025, revenue was $1.9 billion, which decreased $17.7 million, or 0.9%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was due to disposition-related decline of 2.7% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 1.1%, partially offset by acquisition-related revenue growth of 2.4% and organic revenue growth of 0.5%. The disposition-related decline was due to the sale of De-Sta-Co and was partially offset by acquisition-related growth primarily in our Clean Energy & Fueling segment.
The 0.5% organic revenue growth for the first quarter of 2025 was driven by our Pumps & Process Solutions, Imaging & Identification and Clean Energy & Fueling segments which grew 6.5%, 3.9%, and 1.8%, respectively. The growth was partially offset by the Engineered Products and Climate & Sustainability Technologies segments which declined 8.0% and 3.7%, respectively. For further information, see "Segment Results of Operations" within this Item 2.
From a geographic perspective, organic revenue for the U.S., our largest market, decreased 0.2% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year comparable quarter, due to decreased organic revenue in the Engineered Products segment. Organic revenue increased for Asia and Other Americas by 8.0% and 0.6%, respectively and decreased for Europe by 3.5%.
Bookings were $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $16.3 million or 0.8% compared to the prior year comparable quarter. Included in this result was disposition-related decline of 2.6% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 1.1%, partially offset by acquisition-related growth of 2.4% and organic growth of 0.5%. The organic bookings growth was primarily driven by broad-based strength within the Clean Energy & Fueling segment and robust order rates in biopharmaceutical and data center liquid cooling applications in our Pumps & Process Solutions segment.
Restructuring and other costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $9.4 million which included restructuring charges of $8.3 million and other costs of $1.1 million. Restructuring and other costs were generally related to headcount reductions and exit costs across the segments. For further discussion related to our restructuring and other costs, see "Restructuring and Other Costs (Benefits)," within this Item 2.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed one business acquisition for approximately $29.3 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. See Note 3 — Acquisitions in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares at a total cost of $40.7 million, or $203.50 per share. As of March 31, 2025, 16,930,718 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the August 2023 share repurchase authorization.
