MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:
Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "Dover’s second quarter results were solid, driven by excellent production performance and execution in the face of a highly dynamic global trading environment.
"Top line performance accelerated in the quarter on broad-based shipment growth in short cycle components and continued strength in our secular-growth-exposed end markets. Order trends continued to post positive momentum in the quarter, bolstering our confidence in the second half outlook with a majority of our third quarter revenue already in the backlog. Margin performance in the quarter was exemplary with a record consolidated segment margin, a result of prior portfolio actions, positive mix impact from our growth platforms, and our rigorous cost containment and productivity actions.
"Our solid operational results were complemented by ongoing capital deployment actions. We continue to invest in high-ROI organic capital projects, including productivity and capacity expansions as well as targeted footprint optimization. During the quarter we also completed two acquisitions of attractive, fast-growing assets within our high-priority Pumps & Process Solutions segment. Our balance sheet strength remains an advantage that provides flexibility as we pursue value-creating capital deployment to further expand our businesses in high growth, high margin areas.
"We are approaching the second half of 2025 constructively. Despite some macroeconomic noise, underlying end market demand is healthy and is supported by our sustained order rates. As a result of our first half performance, we are increasing our full year adjusted EPS guidance from $9.20-$9.40 to $9.35-$9.55."
FULL YEAR 2025 GUIDANCE:
In 2025, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS from continuing operations in the range of $8.00 to $8.20 (adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $9.35 to $9.55), based on full year revenue growth of 4% to 6%.
