Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
 
Effective as of October 1, 2019, Dover Corporation (the “Company”) has realigned into five business segments.

Descriptions of the five business segments are as follows:

Engineered Products provides a wide range of products, software and services that have broad customer applications across a number of markets including: solid waste handling, vehicle service, industrial automation, defense and telecommunications, and industrial winch and hoist. The waste handling business is a supplier of products, software and services for the refuse collection industry and for on-site processing and compaction of trash and recyclable materials. The vehicle service business provides products, software and services used primarily in vehicle repair and maintenance, including light and heavy-duty vehicle lifts, wheel service equipment, vehicle diagnostics and vehicle collision repair solutions. The segment also provides to the industrial automation market a wide range of modular automation components, including manual clamps, power clamps and rotary and linear mechanical indexers, supplies radiofrequency and microwave filters and switches to aerospace & defense markets, and supplies industrial winches and hoists.

Fueling Solutions provides components, equipment and software and service solutions enabling safe transport of fuels and other hazardous fluids along the supply chain, as well as safe and efficient operation of retail fueling and vehicle washing establishments across the globe. Among solutions supplied by the segment are fuel dispensers, payment systems, hardware and underground containment systems, vehicle wash systems, as well as asset tracking, monitoring and operational optimization software. Additionally, Fueling Solutions supplies components used for transfer of fuels and other critical liquids across the supply chain.

Imaging & Identification consists of worldwide leading suppliers of precision marking and coding and digital textile printing equipment, as well as related consumables, software and services. The Imaging & Identification segment primarily designs and manufactures equipment and consumables used for printing variable information (such as bar coding of dates and serial numbers) on fast-moving consumer goods, capitalizing on expanding food and product safety and traceability requirements and growth in emerging markets. In addition, the businesses serving the apparel and textile printing market are benefiting from a secular shift from analog to digital printing, resulting from growth in "fast fashion" and more complex and customized fashion designs, as well as increasing environmental standards. Businesses within this segment leverage digital printing capabilities and operate business models that involve initial equipment and software sales followed by significant consumable, software and service aftermarket revenue streams.

Pumps & Process Solutions manufactures specialty pumps, fluid handling components, plastics and polymers processing equipment, and highly-engineered components for rotating and reciprocating machines. Products are used in a wide variety of markets, including plastics and polymers processing, chemicals production, food/sanitary, biopharma, medical, transportation, petroleum refining, power generation, and general industrial applications. The specialty pumps and components are used in demanding and specialized operating environments with high performance requirements. Businesses within this segment share the following commonalities: component nature of the products, diverse and fragmented customer base, significant aftermarket demand, and similar route-to-market models.

Refrigeration & Food Equipment is a provider of innovative and energy-efficient equipment and systems that serve the commercial refrigeration, heating and cooling, and food equipment markets. The refrigeration business produces refrigeration systems, refrigeration display cases, commercial glass refrigerator and freezer doors, and brazed plate heat exchangers used for industrial heating and cooling and residential climate control. Other businesses in this segment design and manufacture commercial food service equipment and can-making machinery.

Annual unaudited financial information reflecting the Company’s reporting business segments for full years 2018, 2017 and 2016 and quarterly unaudited financial information for 2018 and year-to-date 2019 are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of Dover’s filings with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.




The realignment will be reflected in the Company’s full-year 2019 financial results. Going forward, the Company will provide customary segment data, including revenue and bookings data, as well as market commentary, on the new segment basis.

The Company’s business units have been realigned as follows within the new segment structure:

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, Management also discloses non-GAAP information that Management believes provides useful information to investors. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBIT by segment, adjusted EBITDA by segment and organic revenue are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, segment earnings, or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations represents earnings from continuing operations adjusted for the effect of acquisition-related amortization, rightsizing and other costs, loss on assets held for sale, and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We exclude after-tax acquisition-related amortization because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company consummates. We exclude the other items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the Company's commercial performance during the period and/or Management believes they are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operating costs or gains in a given period.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations represents adjusted earnings from continuing operations divided by average diluted shares.

Adjusted EBIT by Segment is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, net interest expense, corporate expenses, rightsizing and other costs and a 2019 loss on assets held for sale.

Adjusted EBIT Margin by Segment is defined as adjusted EBIT by segment divided by segment revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment is defined as adjusted EBIT by segment plus depreciation and amortization, excluding depreciation and amortization included within rightsizing and other costs.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin by Segment is defined as adjusted EBITDA by segment divided by segment revenue.

Management believes these measures are useful to investors to better understand the Company’s ongoing profitability as it will better reflect the Company's core operating results, offer more transparency and facilitate easier comparability to prior and future periods and to its peers.

Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.
