NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)


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 for complete financial statements as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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, 2015, 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. Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company acquired three businesses within the Fluids segment for net cash consideration of $475,236.

The following acquisitions were made during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The goodwill identified by these acquisitions reflect the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies. Upon consummation of the acquisitions, with the exception of a minor noncontrolling interest in the Tokheim China subsidiary, these businesses are now wholly-owned by Dover.

The Company has substantially completed the purchase price allocations for the 2016 acquisitions. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately. Purchase price allocation adjustments may arise through working capital adjustments, asset appraisals or to reflect additional facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. Identified measurement period adjustments will be recorded, including any related impacts to net earnings, in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and may be significant. See Note 6 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for purchase price adjustments.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the results of these businesses from the date of acquisition.  

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the impact of both 2016 and 2015 acquisitions on the Company’s revenue and earnings from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. In 2015, the Company acquired four businesses in separate transactions for net cash consideration of $567,843.
 
The 2016 and 2015 pro forma information assumes that the 2016 and 2015 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of the prior year. 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 2016 and 2015 acquisitions.

3. Disposed and Discontinued Operations

Management evaluates Dover's businesses periodically for their strategic fit within its operations and may from time to time sell or discontinue certain operations for various reasons.

Disposed Businesses

On February 17, 2016, the company completed the sale of Texas Hydraulics. This disposal did not represent a strategic shift in operations and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. Upon disposal of the business the Company recognized total proceeds of $47,300, which resulted in a gain on sale of $11,228 included within Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

As noted in Note 3 Disposed and Discontinued Operations, the Company completed the sale of its Texas Hydraulics business during the six months ended June 30, 2016. As a result of this sale, the Engineered Systems goodwill balance was reduced by $9,615.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded adjustments totaling $5,631 to goodwill relating to purchase price adjustments as a result of working capital adjustments and refinements of estimates to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2015 acquisitions of Gemtron, JK Group, Gala Industries and Reduction Engineering Scheer. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment of $17,200 to goodwill as a result of working capital adjustments for the acquisition of Tokheim in the first quarter of 2016. This reduction in price is included in Acquisitions in the table above.

In accordance with the applicable accounting standard, Dover performs its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year. In addition to the annual impairment test, the Company is required to regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. The Company has considered the economic environments in which its businesses operate, particularly those reporting units exposed to the decline in oil and gas markets, and the long-term outlook for those businesses. The Company has determined that a triggering event has not occurred which would require impairment testing at this time.

The restructuring expenses of $9,199 and $23,586 incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 related to restructuring programs initiated during 2016 and 2015. These programs are designed to better align the Company's costs and operations with current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other measures to further optimize operations. The Company expects the programs currently underway to be substantially completed in the next twelve to eighteen months.

The $9,199 of restructuring charges incurred during the second quarter of 2016 primarily included the following items:

The Energy segment incurred restructuring charges of $5,610 related to various programs across the segment focused on workforce reductions and field and facility consolidations. These programs were initiated to better align cost base with the anticipated demand environment.

The Fluids segment recorded $2,764 of restructuring charges principally related to headcount reductions and facility consolidations at various businesses across the segment.

The Engineered Systems segment and Refrigeration and Food Equipment segment incurred restructuring charges related primarily to headcount reductions.

The Company adopted new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2016 which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Upon adoption, the Company reclassified $13,687 from assets to long-term debt to reflect this guidance in the comparable balance as of December 31, 2015.
 
The Company maintains a $1.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Agreement") which expires on November 10, 2020. The Company was in compliance with its revolving credit and other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2016 and had a coverage ratio of 9.7 to 1.0. The Company primarily uses this facility as liquidity back-up for its commercial paper program and has not drawn down any loans under the facility and does not anticipate doing so. The Company generally uses commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, funding of acquisitions, and repurchases of its common stock.

Interest expense and interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

9. 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 and certain commodity risks. In order to manage these risks the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted sales and purchases to occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward or collar contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had contracts with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts of $41,375 and $37,735, respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. dollar, Chinese Yuan, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, and Euro. The Company believes it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur.

In addition, the Company had outstanding contracts with a total notional amount of $72,022 and $51,369 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, that are not designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are used to reduce the Company's exposure for operating receivables and payables that are denominated in non-functional currencies.

The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:

Other accrued expenses

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 that 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 the Company's derivative instruments that are subject to credit risk contingent features were not significant.

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.

Additionally, the Company has designated the €300.0 million of Euro-denominated notes issued December 4, 2013 as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in Euro-denominated operations. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the Euro-denominated debt due to exchange rate changes are offset by changes in the net investment. Accordingly, changes in the value of the Euro-denominated debt are recognized in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income to offset changes in the value of the net investment in Euro-denominated operations.

Gains (losses) on net investment hedges are recognized in other compressive earnings (losses) as a part of foreign currency translation adjustments as follows:

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

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, net of unamortized debt issuance costs at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $3,103,540 and $2,880,734, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $2,607,066 and $2,603,655, respectively. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, and notes payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

10. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 28.1% and 29.6%, respectively. Excluding unfavorable net discrete items in each period, the effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 27.3% and 29.3%, respectively. The discrete items for the three months ended June 30, 2016 resulted primarily from reassessment of the realizable benefits of certain state credits. The 2015 discrete items principally resulted from the conclusion of certain state tax audits and an adjustment of the tax accounts to the return filed. The reduction in the effective tax rate year over year is principally due to a change in the geographic mix of earnings as well as restructuring of foreign operations.

The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 25.5% and 29.3%, respectively. Excluding net discrete items in each period, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 27.6% and 29.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 relative to the prior year is primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax balances as a result of a tax rate reduction in a non U.S. jurisdiction.

Dover and its subsidiaries file tax returns in the U.S., including various state and local returns, and in other foreign jurisdictions.  We believe adequate provision has been made for all income tax uncertainties. The Company is routinely audited by taxing authorities in its filing jurisdictions, and a number of these audits are currently underway. The Company believes that within the next twelve months uncertain tax positions may be resolved and statutes of limitations will expire, which could result in a decrease

in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of approximately zero to $18,310. A portion of these unrecognized tax benefits relate to companies previously reported as discontinued operations.

11. Equity Incentive Program

The Company typically grants equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. During the first and second quarters of 2016, the Company issued stock-settled appreciation rights ("SARs") covering 1,346,354 shares, performance share awards of 79,561 and restricted stock units of 244,707.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of each SAR on the date of grant. Expected volatilities are based on Dover's stock price history, including implied volatilities from traded options on Dover stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate SAR exercise and employee termination patterns within the valuation model. The expected life of SARs granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the average period of time that SARs granted are expected to be outstanding. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the SARs is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the SARs awarded during the respective periods are as follows:

The performance share awards granted in 2015 and 2016 are considered performance condition awards as attainment is based on Dover's performance relative to established internal metrics. The fair value of these awards was determined using Dover's closing stock price on the date of grant. The expected attainment of the internal metrics for these awards is analyzed each reporting period, and the related expense is adjusted based on expected attainment, if that attainment differs from previous estimates. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in attainment is recognized in compensation cost in the period of change.  

The fair value and average attainment used in determining compensation cost for the performance shares issued in 2015 and 2016 is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

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 that 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. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has reserves totaling $31,806 and $30,595, respectively, for environmental and other matters, including private party claims for exposure to hazardous substances, that are probable and estimable.

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, 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. The Company has reserves for legal matters that are probable and estimable and not otherwise covered by insurance, and at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, these reserves are not significant. While it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these legal actions, in the opinion of management, based on the aforementioned reviews, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
