. . . EXHIBIT 99.1 (DOVER CORPORATION LOGO) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: READ IT ON THE WEB Robert G. Kuhbach http://www.dovercorporation.com Vice President Finance & Chief Financial Officer (212) 922-1640 JULY 17, 2003 DOVER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS New York, New York (July 17, 2003). Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) earned $73.4 million or $.36 diluted earnings per share (DEPS) from continuing operations in the second quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to $65.3 million or $.32 DEPS from continuing operations in the comparable period last year, an increase of 12%. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2003 were $72.8 million or $.36 DEPS, which included $0.6 million of losses from discontinued operations, compared to $55.2 million or $.27 DEPS, for the second quarter of 2002 which included $10.1 million or $.05 DEPS in losses from discontinued operations primarily related to a loss on the sale of Vectron GmbH of $7.3 million. Sales in the second quarter of 2003 were $1,124.2 million, an increase of 4% as compared to $1,081.8 million for the second quarter last year. Dover Corporation earned $131.8 million or $.65 DEPS from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $113.7 million or $.56 DEPS from continuing operations in the comparable period last year, an increase of 16%. Net earnings before cumulative effect of accounting changes for the first six months of 2003 were $132.3 million or $.65 DEPS, including $0.4 million of earnings from discontinued operations, compared to $100.3 million or $.49 DEPS, for the same period of 2002 which included $13.4 million or $.07 DEPS in losses from discontinued operations. Sales in the first six months of 2003 were $2,152.0 million, an increase of 4% as compared to $2,076.4 million for the comparable period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the impact of the adoption of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", resulted in a net loss of $192.7 million. The adoption resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $345.1 million ($293.0 million net of tax or $1.44 DEPS). The adoption discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Commenting on the results and the current outlook, Thomas L. Reece, Chairman and CEO, said, "Dover's second quarter results continue to reflect the progress seen in the first quarter, despite generally weak economic conditions which continue to have an impact on most of our companies. The positive improvement for the quarter over the prior year and prior quarter largely reflects the sustained improvements at Dover Technologies, particularly its CBAT companies and Imaje. Operating margins for Dover Technologies were 6.8%, up from 4.0% in the first quarter, driven by continued improvement in sales at the CBAT companies, and strong growth in sales and earnings at Imaje. "The other three segments were all flat to down compared to the prior year period, but up, in some cases, substantially, compared to the first quarter of 2003. Dover Resources' earnings (more)

2 were essentially the same as the prior year and prior quarter, largely because of a non-recurring expense. Dover Diversified was down modestly compared to last year, although sales, earnings and margins improved over the prior quarter, showing better operating leverage, lead by another strong performance at Hill Phoenix. Dover Industries continues to face challenges in many markets, although results were modestly better than the first quarter. "Dover's operating management continues to demonstrate their commitment to new product and market development, improved competitiveness and striving for better operating margins. Our overall assessment of the global manufacturing economy remains unclear with some encouraging signs. We expect that any improvement will be reflected in positive operating results as we have seen occur in our performance in this most recent quarter and year-to-date." SEGMENT RESULTS DOVER DIVERSIFIED Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------ --------------------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change - ------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales $316,264 $309,026 2% $608,297 $597,463 2% Earnings 37,750 39,396 -4% 69,469 69,443 -- Operating margins 11.9% 12.7% 11.4% 11.6% Similar to the first quarter, second quarter results at Diversified were driven by strong performances by Hill Phoenix and Belvac. Hill Phoenix achieved record earnings during the quarter and margins improved due to operating leverage, product redesigns, and manufacturing efficiencies. Though its overall market is down, Hill Phoenix's bookings remain strong for both display cases and refrigeration systems. Belvac's results continue to be favorably impacted by machine sales to Eastern Europe. Current quarter bookings for Belvac included sizable orders from key customers in the U.S. and Australia. Sargent reported improved results from the first quarter, as earnings were equal to last year. Decreases in its commercial aerospace businesses were offset by increases in its defense business as well as a first quarter add-on acquisition. Waukesha's earnings and margins improved from the first quarter, with higher sales to its oil and gas markets offsetting lower volume in its power generation and nuclear markets. SWEP and Tranter PHE achieved increased bookings and sales, although margins were lower due to competitive pricing and product mix. Performance Motorsports' earnings decreased as it was challenged with lower demand in some markets, integrating a recent acquisition, and resolving some manufacturing issues. Crenlo reported lower earnings due to decreased sales volume in both its enclosure and cab businesses. Mark Andy, SWF and Graphics Microsystems reported lower earnings as the printing/packaging equipment market remains weak. Bookings in the quarter were $317.9 million, an increase of 8% from the prior year, and the quarter book-to-bill ratio was 1.01. Backlog at the end of the quarter was $375.3 million, 4% higher than at the beginning of the year. (more)

3 DOVER INDUSTRIES Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change - ------------------------ -------- -------- --------- -------- -------- --------- Net sales $263,650 $268,692 -2% $511,582 $530,178 -4% Earnings 29,056 37,151 -22% 56,255 76,348 -26% Operating margins 11.0% 13.8% 11.0% 14.4% Although results across Dover Industries continue to lag compared to the prior year, second quarter results were above the first quarter with sales and earnings both increasing more than 6%. Market share gains along with productivity improvements have contributed to the quarter-to-quarter gains although operating margins remained flat at 11.0% and down from the prior year as pricing pressures continue. Compared to the prior year, the earnings decline was principally driven by Heil Environmental, Heil Trailer, DI Foodservice and Chief Automotive. Both Heil companies continue to be impacted by weak markets as the refuse market along with the petroleum and large cube dry bulk markets have declined at double-digit rates. DI Foodservice's results were also market driven as the institutional market continues to face budgetary constraints. Chief Automotive's results have been negatively impacted by a sharp decline in pulling equipment demand, offset by modest strength in measuring equipment. Strategic realignment costs across all four companies also contributed to the earnings decline. Sales increased at both Rotary Lift and Tipper-Tie, although pricing pressures narrowed margins. Marathon continues to gain share in a highly competitive marketplace. Triton's unit sales increased again this quarter due primarily to new products launched in 2002. New product introductions also contributed to PDQ's strong operational performance. Dovatech and Kurz-Kasch continued their rebound from a soft 2002 with their second consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales, margins and earnings gains. Somero's performance improved in the face of a declining construction market and was partially driven by new product introductions. Segment bookings in the quarter were $260.6 million, a decrease of 7% from last year, and the book-to-bill ratio was .99 for the current quarter. Backlog increased 17% from the beginning of the current year to $143.7 million. DOVER RESOURCES Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change - ------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net sales $240,213 $232,866 3% $470,005 $450,052 4% Earnings 33,126 33,215 - 65,817 62,839 5% Operating margins 13.8% 14.3% - 14.0% 14.0% -- Dover Resources' quarterly earnings were flat and included a legal settlement of $2.2 million. The Energy Products Group and C. Lee Cook continue to benefit from increased drilling demand and pricing of natural gas, as well as from the stabilization of oil pricing. These companies have made improvements in earnings as a result of internal cost initiatives that have provided very positive earnings growth on a modest sales increase. The pump companies, Blackmer and Wilden, saw relatively flat markets in the U.S. but both benefited from strong international sales. Success continues at the Wilden operations in China and Argentina, with both entities reporting positive results. OPW Fluid Transfer Group continues to achieve positive leverage on relatively small sales increases with solid performance at its Midland and Sure Seal businesses, a result of strength in the rail tank car market. OPW Fueling Components increased earnings and margins on reduced sales levels compared to the prior year. The increase was a result of downsizing and global sourcing. Small improvements in service station construction brought more business in higher margin products. De-Sta-Co Industries continues to show improvement over prior year results, with solid gains from its European operations and share (more)

4 gains in its industrial markets. The traditional automotive markets remain soft, but are expected to improve in the second half as more capital projects are being approved. De-Sta-Co Manufacturing made solid improvement as compared to a difficult first quarter driven by cost control initiatives and the successful launch of a new automotive air conditioner compressor program. Those companies serving the construction, crane, and aerial lift markets, Texas Hydraulics and Tulsa Winch, have been negatively impacted by OEM production decreases and pricing. However, Tulsa Winch has benefited from strength in the oil patch. Hydro Systems had a strong second quarter driven primarily by strength in the UK and some key new projects with major U.S. customers. In addition, Hydro Systems began to supply customers in Brazil from its newly opened facility in Sao Paulo. RPA Process Technologies operated at a loss primarily as a result of difficult market conditions in the heavy equipment markets served by its European subsidiary. Bookings in the quarter of $238.4 million were down 2% from the prior year and the book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was .99. Ending backlog was $87.2 million, a 12% increase from the end of last year. Dover Resources' results for all periods have been adjusted to include Texas Hydraulics, which was transferred from Dover Industries at the beginning of the year. DOVER TECHNOLOGIES Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands, unaudited) 2003 2002 % Change 2003 2002 % Change - ------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- --------- -------- Net sales $306,207 $272,682 12% $566,249 $ 501,527 13% Earnings 20,730 3,030 584% 31,228 (3,903) 900% Operating margins 6.8% 1.1% -- 5.5% -0.8% -- In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Technologies companies serving the electronics industry resized their organizations in order to operate profitably at reduced levels of demand. The results for the first half of 2003 reflect this successful effort. Bookings at the Circuit Board Assembly and Test (CBAT) companies for the second quarter and six months increased 3% and 9% respectively over prior year periods. Bookings for the first six months of 2003 for the Specialized Electronic Components (SEC) companies were up modestly from the average rate for all of 2002. The intra-quarter bookings during the second quarter for CBAT deteriorated modestly during the quarter while SEC's bookings remained flat. This is in part a reflection of the SARS issue in Asia, as a large portion of the current year CBAT orders and new growth in SEC orders are from that region. There are also some positive indications from the market place that both the excess equipment overhang from 2000 is diminishing and the utilization of production equipment is showing signs of improvement. Technologies' CBAT business recorded earnings of $10.2 million for the second quarter compared to a loss of $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. Second quarter sales were $179.2 million, an increase of $20.5 million or 13% from last year's comparable quarter. Bookings at $181.8 million were up 3% from the prior year. The CBAT book-to-bill ratio was 1.01 for the second quarter with backlog at $91.2 million, 26% higher than at the end of 2002. Margins were 5.6% for the quarter compared to negative margins of 6.3% for the comparable period last year. Most of the CBAT companies experienced growth in sales. CBAT companies continue their investment in new product introductions. Universal has begun the "beta" site testing of its new modular High Speed Chip placement head, capable of being mounted on its range of mid and high-end platform machines. Other CBAT companies have products nearing or in beta testing that will help to support future growth initiatives. In Technologies' SEC business, sales in the quarter were $52.1 million compared to $56.1 million in last year's second quarter, representing a decline of 7%. SEC reported earnings of (more)

5 $1.9 million, compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2002. Margins were 3.8% for the quarter compared to negative margins of 1.8% for the comparable period last year. Bookings in the second quarter of $51.9 million were 4% lower than the same period last year. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.00 for the quarter with backlog at $46.3 million at the end of the period, an 8% increase from the beginning of the current year. Overall, the telecom market continues to show signs of weakness in both sales opportunities and in pricing. For the first six months of 2003, the SEC companies were able to show significant improvement in earnings while reducing sales, as compared to the same period in 2002. This is a direct result of not only the cost reductions resulting from restructuring operations, but also the shift to higher margin markets such as military, space, medical and industrial. Even in the continued weak telecom sector, the SEC companies have made strategic price increases for certain high value added products. These strategic efforts are expected to continue. In the quarter, Imaje, the French-based industrial ink-jet printer and ink manufacturer, had sales of $75.0 million, up 30% from the comparable period last year. Earnings increased by 27% to $15.8 million from the comparable 2002 quarter and margins decreased slightly. Imaje's bookings were up 36% from the prior year in the second quarter to $79.0 million and the book-to-bill ratio was 1.05. Imaje's various product expansion initiatives and sales force reorganization are paying off with gains in market share. The strength of the Euro has put pressure on its earnings and margins, as a substantial portion of its costs are incurred in Euros. However, appropriate cost control measures are mitigating this impact. OTHER INFORMATION: Dover's effective tax rate for continuing operations for the second quarter of 2003 was 24.6% compared to last year's second quarter rate of 24.9%. For the first six months of 2003 the effective tax rate for continuing operations was 24.4%, compared to 27.7% for the same period last year. The low effective tax rate is largely due to the continuing benefit from tax credit programs such as those for R&D and foreign taxes combined with the benefit from U.S. export programs, a lower foreign tax rate and the recognition of certain capital loss benefits. Dover's net debt levels decreased $39.9 million during the first six months of 2003 and the net debt to total capitalization ratio decreased by 2 percentage points during the period. During the second quarter, Dover repaid approximately $28.0 million of debt. The following table provides a reconciliation of net debt to total capitalization with the GAAP information found in the attached financial statements. Unaudited June 30, December 31, Net Debt to Total Capitalization Ratio (in thousands) 2003 2002 - ---------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Short-term and long-term debt $1,026,062 $1,054,060 Less: Cash, equivalents and marketable securities 306,905 294,959 ---------- ---------- Net debt 719,157 759,101 Add: Shareholders equity 2,542,408 2,394,623 ---------- ---------- Total capitalization $3,261,565 $3,153,724 Net debt to total capitalization 22% 24% Dover's free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased significantly as cash generated from operations improved $67.1 million compared to last year. The 2003 improvement in free cash flow reflects improved net earnings and lower tax payments, which was offset slightly by an increase in working capital. Dover also made a discretionary contribution of $15.0 million to its defined benefit pension plan in the second quarter of 2003. (more)

6 Dover did not repurchase shares of its common stock on the open market during the quarter. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow with cash flows from operating activities. Six Months Ended June 30, Free Cash Flow (in thousands, unaudited) 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------- --------- -------- Cash flow provided by operating activities $ 155,796 $ 88,746 Less: Capital expenditures (44,692) (45,440) Dividends to stockholders (54,687) (54,747) --------- -------- Free cash flow $ 56,417 $(11,441) Dover made one acquisition in the second quarter of 2003. On May 27, 2003, Dover acquired the assets of Blitz GmbH, a strategic add-on acquisition of Rotary Lift in the Dover Industries market segment. During the second quarter of 2003, Dover divested Duncan Parking Systems from the Dover Resources market segment, which was previously designated as a discontinued operation. Neither transaction will have a material impact on Dover's 2003 financial results. The Dover website will host a Webcast of the second quarter conference call at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, July 18, 2003. The conference call will also be made available for replay on the website. Additional information on Dover's second quarter results and its operating companies can be found on the company website, (http://www.dovercorporation.com). Dover makes no representation about the utility of this data or the validity of any conclusions that might be reached by referring to it. In addition, Dover will post to the website supplemental financial information for the second quarter 2003. Dover Corporation makes information available to the public, orally and in writing, which may use words like "expects" and "believes", which are "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the performance of Dover Corporation that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially including, but not limited to, failure to achieve expected synergies, failure to successfully integrate acquisitions, the impact of continued events in the Middle East on the worldwide economy, the continuing impact of SARS on the Asian economy, economic conditions, customer demand, increased competition in the relevant market, and others. Dover Corporation refers you to the documents that it files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as its reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, which contain additional important factors that could cause its actual results to differ from its current expectations and from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discloses non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, net debt and capitalization are not financial measures under GAAP, should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt or equity and sales as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes the net debt to capitalization ratio and free cash flow are important measures of liquidity and operating performance because it provides both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions and repay debt. ####TABLES TO FOLLOW (more)
