DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, revenue was $2.1 billion, an increase of 8% over the prior year. The revenue increase was driven by organic growth of 4% and an increase of 4% from acquisitions, with a negligible impact from foreign exchange. Earnings from continuing operations were $232.8 million, or $1.38 diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), compared to $226.2 million, or $1.31 EPS, in the prior year period, representing increases of 3% and 5%, respectively.  EPS from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, included discrete tax benefits of $0.03, while the quarter ended September 30, 2013, included discrete tax benefits of $0.04 and other one-time gains of $0.02. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2014 was $1.35, an increase of 8% over an adjusted EPS of $1.25 in the prior year period.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6.0 billion, an increase of 7% over the prior year, reflecting organic growth of 4% and a 3% increase from acquisitions. Foreign exchange had a negligible impact. Earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $626.6 million, or $3.69 EPS, compared to $651.5 million, or $3.75 EPS in the prior year period, representing decreases of 4% and 2%, respectively.  EPS from continuing operations during this period includes discrete tax benefits of $0.04 EPS compared to $0.42 EPS in the prior year, as well as $0.02 of other one-time gains recognized in the prior year. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3.65, an increase of 10% over an adjusted EPS of $3.31 in the prior year.

Commenting on the third quarter results, Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Livingston, said, "I was pleased with our strong finish to the third quarter, during which business activity significantly improved in September after softness in July and August. The result for the quarter was revenue and bookings growth at all segments. Most notably, Fluids delivered 17% growth, while Energy and Engineered Systems each grew 8%.  In all, we generated revenue growth of 8%, grew bookings 10%, and saw our backlog increase 14%."

"Over the past three quarters, we have made great strides in enhancing our businesses.  We have completed a number of productivity initiatives across the organization and have strengthened several of our businesses with acquisitions, including our recently completed Accelerated transaction. In total, we have invested roughly $800 million on acquisitions year to date.  As a result, we have broadened our product offerings in Artificial Lift, expanded our global footprint in Fluid Transfer, and opened new markets for Printing and Identification.  In addition, we have used our cash flow and balance sheet to grow our annual dividend for the 59th consecutive year, as well as fund nearly $400 million in share repurchases."

"Looking at the full year, we expect total revenue growth of about 8%.  Organic growth is anticipated to be around 4%.  Completed acquisitions will now provide approximately 4% growth, representing a 1% increase from our prior forecast, principally driven by our recently completed acquisitions. While these deals will have a dilutive impact in 2014, they should be solidly accretive in 2015. In total, we now expect full year adjusted EPS to be in the range of $4.75 to $4.80, a $0.05 reduction to the high end of our prior guidance, largely reflecting the impact of recent acquisitions."

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2014 were $231.8 million, or $1.38 EPS, which included a net loss from discontinued operations of $1.0 million, or $0.01 EPS compared to net earnings of $269.1 million, or $1.56 EPS, for the same period of 2013, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $42.9 million, or $0.25 EPS.

Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $605.9 million, or $3.57 EPS, compared to net earnings of $809.2 million, or $4.65 EPS, for the same period of 2013. 2014 results reflected a net loss from discontinued operations of $20.7 million, or $0.12 EPS, which included $27.1 million in spin-off costs. 2013 results reflected earnings from discontinued operations of $157.7 million or $0.91 EPS, which included spin-off costs of $14.0 million.
