Dover announced that for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, revenue was $2.0 billion, an increase of 18% from the prior year. The increase in the quarter was driven by organic growth of 10% and acquisition growth of 12%, partially offset by a 3% impact from dispositions and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange (FX) of 1%.
Net earnings were $164.1 million, an increase of 39% as compared to $118.3 million for the prior year period. Diluted net earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, were $1.04, compared to $0.76 EPS in the prior year period, representing an increase of 37%. EPS for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2016, include restructuring costs of $0.01 EPS and $0.04 EPS, respectively.
“The second quarter reflected the continuation of a trend that began to develop late last year, namely improving global markets and strong results reflecting solid execution by our teams,” Robert A. Livingston, Dover’s president and CEO, said. “In all, we achieved revenue growth and margin expansion that exceeded our forecasts.
“All of our segments posted sequential increases in revenue and margin, which was most notable in Refrigeration & Food Equipment and Fluids. As a result of our strong second quarter performance and increased confidence in the back half of the year, we are raising our full year guidance for revenue and EPS.”
