DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim periods and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for Dover Corporation ("Dover" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for these interim periods. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
2. Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
A majority of the Company’s revenue is short cycle in nature with shipments within one year from order. A small portion of the Company’s revenue derives from contracts extending over one year. The Company's payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days and vary by the location of businesses, the type of products manufactured to be sold and the volume of products sold, among other factors.
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by segment and geographic location, as they best depict the nature and amount of the Company’s revenue. See Note 15 — Segment Information for further details for revenue by segment and geographic location.
Performance Obligations
Approximately 95 % of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, rather than over time, as the Company completes its performance obligations. Specifically, revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment or completion of installation, testing, certification, or other substantive acceptance provisions required under the contract. Approximately 5 % of the Company’s revenue is recognized over time and relates to the sale of equipment or services, including software solutions and services, in which the Company transfers control of a good or service over time and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs, or the Company's performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for its performance to date plus a reasonable margin.
A majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation which represents, in most cases, the equipment or product being sold to the customer. Some contracts include multiple performance obligations such as a product and the related installation, extended warranty, software and digital solutions, and/or maintenance services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation.
At June 30, 2023, we estimated that $235,410 in revenue is expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period. The Company expects to recognize
7
DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
approximately 73.8 % of the Company's unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations as revenue through 2024, with the remaining balance to be recognized in 2025 and thereafter.
The Company applied the practical expedient that permits the omission of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Contract liabilities relate to advance consideration received from customers or advance billings for which revenue has not been recognized and are reduced when the associated revenue from the contract is recognized.
The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:
| June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||||||||||
| Contract assets | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities - current | |||||||||||||||||
| Contract liabilities - non-current | |||||||||||||||||
The revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $185,028 and $157,175 , respectively.
3. Acquisitions
2023 Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
2022 Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed one acquisition. On May 2, 2022, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests of AMN DPI ("AMN"), a designer and manufacturer of polymer pelletizing tools, for $8,100 , net of cash acquired. The AMN acquisition extended the Company's reach into polymer processing equipment production within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,903 and intangible assets of $5,625 , primarily related to customer intangibles.

6. Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on the aging of the accounts receivable balances and other historical and forward-looking information on the financial condition of customers. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments that decreased goodwill by $3,820 , principally related to working capital adjustments for 2022 acquisitions within the Pumps & Process Solutions segment.

These restructuring programs were initiated in 2022 and 2023 and were undertaken in light of current market conditions. The Company will continue to make proactive adjustments to its cost structure through restructuring and other programs to align with current demand trends.

DOVER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
On April 6, 2023, the Company entered into new $1.0 billion five-year and $500.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facilities ("Credit Agreements") with a syndicate of banks. The new five-year credit facility replaced the previous $1 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which was set to expire on October 4, 2024 and was terminated by the Company upon execution of the new five-year credit facility. The lenders' commitments under the five-year and 364-day Credit Agreements will terminate and the loans under the Credit Agreements will mature on April 6, 2028 and April 4, 2024, respectively. The Company may elect to extend the maturity date of any loans under the 364-day credit facility until April 4, 2025, subject to conditions specified therein. The Credit Agreements are designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company's commercial paper program, which was upsized from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion during the quarter, and also are available for general corporate purposes. At the Company's election, loans under the Credit Agreements will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreements require the Company to pay facility fees and impose various restrictions on the Company such as, among other things, a requirement to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no five-year credit facility.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreements and other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2023 and had an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 13.7 to 1.
Letters of Credit and other Guarantees
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $183.9 million outstanding in letters of credit, surety bonds, and performance and other guarantees which primarily expire on various dates through 2029. These letters of credit and bonds are primarily issued as security for insurance, warranty and other performance obligations. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations, the probability of which is believed to be remote.
10. 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 which occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had contracts with total notional amounts of $180,999 and $184,565 , respectively, to exchange currencies, principally euro, pound sterling, Swedish krona, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and Swiss franc. 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 $106,341 and $102,509 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:

For a cash flow hedge, the change in estimated fair value of a hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) as a separate component of the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and is reclassified into revenues, cost of goods and services, or selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction is settled. 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.
The Company has designated the €600,000 and €500,000 of euro-denominated notes issued November 9, 2016 and November 4, 2019, respectively, as hedges of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive earnings (loss) of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings to offset changes in the value of the net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt resulting from exchange rate differences are offset by changes in the net investment due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged.
Amounts recognized in other comprehensive earnings for the gains (losses) on net investment hedges were 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 as follows:
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated) (Unaudited)
The derivative contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company's financial instruments.
The estimated fair value of long-term debt at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $2,844,825 and $2,786,862 , 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 short-term borrowings approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
11. Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 19.3 % and 13.6 %, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily driven by favorable audit resolutions in 2022, including $22,579 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 19.7 % and 15.6 %, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 relative to the prior year comparable period was primarily driven by favorable audit resolutions in 2022, including $22,579 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
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 $0 to $5,548 .
12. Equity Incentive Program
The Company typically makes its annual grants of equity awards pursuant to actions taken by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued stock-settled appreciation rights ("SARs") covering 359,715 shares, performance share awards ("PSAs") of 43,656 and restricted stock units ("RSUs") of 82,055 . During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued SARs covering 335,285 shares, PSAs of 40,087 and RSUs of 76,509 .
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 awards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The PSAs granted in 2023 and 2022 are market condition awards as attainment is based on Dover's performance relative to its peer group (companies listed under the S&P 500 Industrials sector) for the relevant performance period. The performance period and vesting period for these awards is three years . These awards were valued on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model (a binomial lattice-based valuation model) and are generally recognized ratably over the vesting period, and the fair value is not subject to change based on future market conditions.

13. 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 which provide for the allocation of such costs among "potentially responsible parties." In each instance, the extent of the Company’s liability appears to be relatively insignificant 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 estimated liabilities have been established. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these estimated liabilities for environmental and other matters, including private party claims for exposure to hazardous substances that are probable and estimable, were not significant.
The Company and some 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 consider the availability and extent of insurance coverage. The Company has estimated liabilities for these other legal matters that are probable and estimable, and at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these estimated liabilities were immaterial. 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.
Warranty Accruals
Estimated warranty program claims are provided for at the time of sale of the Company's products. Amounts provided for are based on historical costs and adjusted for new claims and are included within other accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04 Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The amendments in this update require a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The Company adopted the guidance when it became effective on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program with a third-party financial institution. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the SCF financial institution and, in addition, may elect to sell receivables due from the Company to the SCF financial institution for early payment. Thus, participating suppliers have additional potential flexibility in managing their liquidity by accelerating, at their option and cost, collection of receivables due from the Company.
The Company and its suppliers agree on commercial terms, including payment terms, for the goods and services the Company procures, regardless of whether the supplier participates in SCF. For participating suppliers, the Company’s responsibility is limited to making all payments to the SCF financial institution on the terms originally negotiated with the supplier, irrespective of whether the supplier elects to sell receivables to the SCF financial institution. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the SCF financial institution and the Company's suppliers. The SCF financial institution pays the supplier on the invoice due date for any invoices that were not previously sold by the supplier. The agreement between the Company and the SCF financial institution does not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees.
Outstanding payments related to the SCF program are recorded within accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, amounts due to the SCF financial institution were approximately $200,112 and $194,362 , respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Refer to the section below entitled "Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained below and throughout this quarterly report.
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), we refer to measures used by management to evaluate performance, including a number of financial measures that are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Please see "Non-GAAP Disclosures" at the end of this Item 2 for further detail on these financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors with important information that is useful in understanding our business results and trends. Reconciliations within this MD&A provide more details on the use and derivation of these measures.
OVERVIEW
Dover is a diversified global manufacturer and solutions provider delivering innovative equipment and components, consumable supplies, aftermarket parts, software and digital solutions, and support services through five operating segments: Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Climate & Sustainability Technologies. The Company's entrepreneurial business model encourages, promotes and fosters deep customer engagement and collaboration, which has led to Dover's well-established and valued reputation for providing superior customer service and industry-leading product innovation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references herein to "Dover," "the Company," and words such as "we," "us," or "our" include Dover Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Dover's five operating segments are as follows:
•Our Engineered Products segment provides a wide range of equipment, components, software, solutions and services to the vehicle aftermarket, waste handling, industrial automation, aerospace and defense, industrial winch and hoist, and fluid dispensing end-markets.
•Our Clean Energy & Fueling segment provides components, equipment, software, solutions and services enabling safe and reliable storage, transport and dispensing of traditional and clean fuels (including liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, and electric vehicle charging), cryogenic gases, and other hazardous substances along the supply chain, and safe and efficient operation of convenience retail, retail fueling and vehicle wash establishments.
•Our Imaging & Identification segment supplies precision marking and coding, product traceability, brand protection and digital textile printing equipment, as well as related consumables, software and services to the global packaged and consumer goods, pharmaceutical, industrial manufacturing, textile and other end-markets.
•Our Pumps & Process Solutions segment manufactures specialty pumps and flow meters, highly engineered precision components for rotating and reciprocating machines, fluid connecting solutions and plastics and polymer processing equipment, serving single-use biopharmaceutical production, diversified industrial manufacturing, chemical production, plastics and polymer processing, midstream and downstream oil and gas, thermal management applications and other end-markets.
•Our Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment is a provider of innovative and energy-efficient equipment, components and parts for the commercial refrigeration, heating and cooling and beverage can-making equipment markets.
In the second quarter of 2023, revenue was $2.1 billion, which decreased $58.6 million, or 2.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2022. This was driven by organic revenue decline of 3.0% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.6% partially offset by acquisition-related revenue growth of 0.9%. Pricing initiatives continued in the quarter to offset the impact of higher commodity costs, component parts inflation and higher energy, freight and logistics costs.
The 3.0% organic revenue decline for the second quarter of 2023 was driven by Clean Energy & Fueling and Engineered Products segments which had a decline of 9.3% and 7.7%, respectively. The decline was partially offset by Climate & Sustainability Technologies, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Imaging & Identification segments which had growth of 4.0%, 0.9%, and 0.3%, respectively. For further information, see "Segment Results of Operations" within this Item 2.
21
From a geographic perspective, organic revenue for the U.S., our largest market, decreased 8.6% in the second quarter of 2023, driven by lower expected retail fueling revenue and by transient manufacturing and shipment disruptions in our vehicle services group plant in North America caused by an ERP system upgrade. Organic revenue for Other Americas and Asia increased 13.9% and 1.9%, respectively, while Europe decreased 0.9%.
Bookings were $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $177.6 million, or 8.4% compared to the prior year comparable quarter. Included in this result was organic decline of 8.3% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.8%, partially offset by acquisition-related growth of 0.7%. The organic bookings decline was driven primarily by lead time normalization across the portfolio as supply chains improve.
Backlog as of June 30, 2023 was $2.8 billion, a decrease from $3.3 billion in the prior year, but remains elevated on a relative historical basis. See definition of bookings and backlog within "Segment Results of Operations."
Restructuring and other costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $18.1 million which included restructuring charges of $16.4 million and other costs of $1.7 million. Restructuring and other costs were primarily related to headcount reductions and exit costs in the Clean Energy & Fueling, Engineered Products and Pumps & Process Solutions segments. These programs were initiated in 2022 and 2023 and were undertaken in light of current market conditions. See Note 8 — Restructuring Activities in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of each of our five reportable operating segments (Engineered Products, Clean Energy & Fueling, Imaging & Identification, Pumps & Process Solutions, and Climate & Sustainability Technologies). Each of these segments is comprised of various product and service offerings that serve multiple markets. We evaluate our operating segment performance based on segment earnings as defined in Note 15 — Segment Information in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. For further information, see "Non-GAAP Disclosures" at the end of this Item 2.
Additionally, we use the following operational metrics in monitoring the performance of the business. We believe the operational metrics are useful to investors and other users of our financial information in assessing the performance of our segments:
•Bookings represent total orders received from customers in the current reporting period. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.
•Organic bookings represent total orders received from customers in the current reporting period excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions. This metric is an important measure of performance and an indicator of revenue order trends.
•Backlog represents an estimate of the total remaining bookings at a point in time for which performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. This metric is useful as it represents the aggregate amount we expect to recognize as revenue in the future.
•Book-to-bill is a ratio of the amount of bookings received from customers during a period divided by the amount of revenue recorded during that same period. This metric is a useful indicator of demand.

Customer pricing favorably impacted revenue in the second quarter of 2023 by approximately 5.3% compared to 9.5% in the prior year comparable quarter.
The organic revenue growth was driven primarily by pricing actions as well as strong growth in heat exchangers and natural refrigerant systems, partially offset by modest volume reductions in beverage can-making equipment. Our heat exchanger business continues to experience strong growth as regulation-driven efforts to shift from fossil fuel to electric energy in Europe drive robust demand for heat pump applications, as well as strong global commercial HVAC and industrial markets. Retail refrigeration revenue also increased from the prior year, driven by customer pricing actions, large system refurbishment programs with a key supermarket customer and growing demand for natural refrigerant systems, partially offset by soft demand in the interest rate sensitive convenience store market. Beverage can-making business revenues declined from the prior year, primarily related to timing of projects and moderating demand with large beverage can-makers, who are absorbing recent large capacity expansions. We expect modest growth in the second half of the year, driven by strong demand for heat exchangers and refrigeration systems, partially offset by reductions in beverage can-making equipment projects as demand moderates from the robust levels experienced in the prior year.
Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment earnings increased $11.9 million, or 18.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2022. The segment earnings increase was driven by customer pricing actions, increased volumes and benefits from productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher material and labor costs. Segment margin increased to 16.9% from 14.8% in the prior year comparable quarter.
Bookings in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 14.4% from the prior year comparable quarter, reflecting organic decline of 13.7% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 0.7%. The organic bookings decline was principally driven by improving lead times in refrigeration and timing of large projects and moderating demand with key customers in beverage can-making equipment, partially offset by continued robust demand for heat exchangers. Segment book-to-bill for the second quarter of 2023 was 0.77. Backlog decreased 32.8% over the prior year comparable period, but remains at healthy levels reflecting constructive demand across several key end markets within the segment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment revenue increased $71.1 million, or 8.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting an organic revenue growth of 9.9%, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency translation of 1.3%. The organic revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by strong demand across many of our key end-markets. Retail refrigeration revenues increased from the prior year, driven by healthy remodel and system refurbishment programs with key supermarket customers and continued growing demand for our environmentally friendly natural refrigerant systems in Europe and North America. Our beverage equipment business experienced revenue growth, driven by continued favorable macro trends in the global beverage industry as producers shift from plastic and glass packaging to aluminum cans for environmental sustainability and merchandising benefits offered by modern aluminum cans. Our heat exchanger business experienced healthy growth across all regions, fueled by regulation-driven heat pump demand in Europe and strengthening commercial HVAC and industrial markets globally. Customer pricing favorably impacted revenue by approximately 5.6% compared to 9.4% in the prior comparable period.
Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment earnings increased $32.1 million, or 27.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Segment margin increased to 16.6% from 14.1% in the prior year comparable period. The earnings increase was driven by increased volumes, productivity, favorable business mix and customer pricing actions, partially offset by increased material and logistics costs, most notably metals and freight.

Restructuring and Other Costs (Benefits)
Restructuring and other costs are not presented in our segment earnings because these costs are excluded from the segment operating performance measure reviewed by management. Restructuring and other costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included restructuring charges of $16.4 million and $28.9 million, respectively and other costs, net of $1.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily related to headcount reductions and exit costs in the Clean Energy & Fueling, Engineered Products and Pumps & Process Solutions segments. These restructuring programs were initiated in 2022 and 2023 and were undertaken in light of current market conditions. Other costs, net of $2.0 million within the Clean Energy & Fueling segment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily due to product line rationalization. These restructuring and other charges were recorded in cost of goods and services and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings. Additional programs beyond the scope of the announced programs may be implemented during 2023 with related restructuring charges.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity are: cash flows generated from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, dividends, repurchase of outstanding shares, adequacy of available commercial paper and bank lines of credit and the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms. We generate substantial cash from the operations of our businesses and remain in a strong financial position, with sufficient liquidity available for reinvestment in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table is derived from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
Cash Flows from Operations (in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||
| Net cash flows provided by (used in): | |||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 436,538 | $ | 202,456 | |||||||
| Investing activities | (86,010) | (115,853) | |||||||||
| Financing activities | (444,489) | 45,265 | |||||||||
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $234.1 million compared to June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by improvements in the cash flows related to working capital. Additionally, estimated tax payments were higher in 2022 driven primarily by a $43.5 million income tax payment related to the gain on disposition of Unified Brands.
37
Adjusted Working Capital: We believe adjusted working capital (a non-GAAP measure calculated as accounts receivable, plus inventory, less accounts payable) provides a meaningful measure of liquidity by showing changes caused by operational results. The following table provides a calculation of adjusted working capital:
Adjusted Working Capital (in thousands) | June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | 1,561,162 | $ | 1,516,871 | |||||||
| Inventories | 1,396,260 | 1,366,608 | |||||||||
| Less: Accounts payable | 1,028,928 | 1,068,144 | |||||||||
| Adjusted working capital | $ | 1,928,494 | $ | 1,815,335 | |||||||
Adjusted working capital increased by $113.2 million, or 6.2%, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which reflected an increase of $44.3 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $29.7 million in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable of $39.2 million. Inventories increased to support normal seasonality trends in advance of higher expected shipment volumes in the second half of the year. The change in accounts receivable and payable reflect the timing of payments and collections.
Investing Activities
Cash flow from investing activities is generally derived from cash outflows for capital expenditures and acquisitions, offset by proceeds from sales of business, property, plant and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the majority of the activity in investing activities was comprised of capital spending. Our capital expenditures decreased $12.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.
We anticipate that capital expenditures and any acquisitions we make through the remainder of 2023 will be funded from available cash and internally generated funds and, if necessary, through the issuance of commercial paper, borrowings from revolving credit facilities or by accessing the public debt or equity markets.
Financing Activities
Our cash flow from financing activities generally relates to the use of cash for repurchases of our common stock and payment of dividends, offset by borrowing activity. The majority of financing activity was attributed to the following:
•Repurchase of common stock: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased no shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $85.0 million to repurchase 641,428 shares.
•Commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, net: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $289.6 million to pay off commercial paper borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received net proceeds of $288.0 million from commercial paper borrowings.
•Dividend payments: Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $141.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $144.1 million during the same period in 2022. Our dividends paid per common share increased 1.0% to $1.01 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.00 during the same period in 2022. The number of common shares outstanding decreased in the comparative periods due to share repurchase activity throughout 2022.
•Payments to settle employee tax obligations: Payments to settle tax obligations from the exercise of share-based awards declined $1.0 million compared to the prior year period.
38
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Free Cash Flow
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we also measure free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that may be available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.
The following table reconciles our free cash flow to cash flow provided by operating activities:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
Free Cash Flow (dollars in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||
| Cash flow provided by operating activities | $ | 436,538 | $ | 202,456 | |||||||
| Less: Capital expenditures | (88,454) | (100,577) | |||||||||
| Free cash flow | $ | 348,084 | $ | 101,879 | |||||||
| Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of revenue | 10.4 | % | 4.8 | % | |||||||
| Cash flow from operating activities as a percentage of net earnings | 92.7 | % | 39.3 | % | |||||||
| Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue | 8.3 | % | 2.4 | % | |||||||
| Free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings | 73.9 | % | 19.8 | % | |||||||
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated free cash flow of $348.1 million, representing 8.3% of revenue and 73.9% of net earnings. Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $246.2 million, compared to June 30, 2022, due to higher operating cash flow, primarily as a result of improvements in working capital compared to the prior year.
Capitalization
We use commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions and the repurchase of our common stock. As of June 30, 2023, we maintained $1.0 billion five-year and $500.0 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facilities ("Credit Agreements") with a syndicate of banks which expire April 6, 2028 and April 4, 2024, respectively. We may elect to extend the maturity date of any loans under the 364-day credit facility until April 4, 2025, subject to conditions specified therein. The Credit Agreements are designated as a liquidity back-stop for the Company's commercial paper program, which was upsized from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion during the quarter, and also are available for general corporate purposes.
At the Company's election, loans under the Credit Agreements will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Agreements require the Company to pay a facility fee and impose various restrictions on the Company such as, among other things, a requirement to maintain an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreements and other long-term debt covenants at June 30, 2023 and had an interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense of 13.7 to 1. We are not aware of any potential impairment to our liquidity and expect to remain in compliance with all of our debt covenants. Additionally, our earliest long-term debt maturity is in 2025.
We also have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows for the issuance of additional debt securities that may be utilized in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. Net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and acquisitions.
At June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $285.8 million, of which approximately $259.5 million was held outside the United States. At December 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $380.9 million, of which approximately $261.4 million was held outside the United States. Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in bank deposits with highly rated banks. We regularly hold cash in excess of near-term requirements in bank deposits or invest the funds in government money market instruments or short-term investments, which consist of investment grade time deposits with original maturity dates at the time of purchase of no greater than three months.
39
We utilize the net debt to net capitalization calculation (a non-GAAP measure) to assess our overall financial leverage and capacity and believe the calculation is useful to investors for the same reason. Net debt represents total debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Net capitalization represents net debt plus stockholders' equity. The following table provides a calculation of net debt to net capitalization from the most directly comparable GAAP measures:

| Net capitalization | $ | 7,799,076 | $ | 7,583,783 | ||||||||||
| Net debt to net capitalization | 40.2 | % | 43.5 | % | ||||||||||
Our net debt to net capitalization ratio decreased to 40.2% at June 30, 2023 compared to 43.5% at December 31, 2022. Net debt decreased $160.4 million during the period primarily due to a decrease in commercial paper borrowings, partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalents. Stockholders' equity increased for the period as a result of current earnings of $470.8 million and other comprehensive earnings of $38.7 million, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by $141.5 million of dividends paid.
Operating cash flow and access to capital markets are expected to satisfy our various cash flow requirements, including acquisitions, capital expenditures, purchase obligations, and lease obligations. Acquisition spending and/or share repurchases could potentially increase our debt.
We believe that existing sources of liquidity are adequate to meet anticipated funding needs at current risk-based interest rates for the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of GAAP which requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our public disclosures, including information regarding contingencies, risk and our financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conform to GAAP and are consistently applied. We review valuations based on estimates for reasonableness on a consistent basis.
Recent Accounting Standards
See Note 18 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The adoption of recent accounting standards as included in Note 18 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the condensed consolidated financial statements has not had, and is not expected to have, a significant impact on our revenue, earnings or liquidity.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, especially MD&A, contains "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be deemed, "forward-looking" statements. Some of these statements may be indicated by words such as "may", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "intend", "continue", "guidance", "estimates", "suggest", "will", "plan", "should", "would", "could", "forecast" and other words and terms that use the future tense or have a similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: general economic conditions and conditions in the particular markets in which we operate; supply chain constraints and labor shortages that could result in production stoppages, inflation in material input costs and freight logistics; the impacts of COVID-19 or other future pandemics on the global economy and on our customers, suppliers, employees, business and cash flows; changes in customer demand and capital spending; competitive factors and pricing pressures; our ability to develop and launch new products in a cost-effective manner; changes in law, including the effect of tax laws and developments with respect to trade policy and tariffs; our ability to identify and complete acquisitions and integrate and realize synergies from newly acquired businesses; the impact of interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; capital allocation plans and changes in those plans, including with respect to dividends, share repurchases, investments in research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions; our ability to derive expected benefits from restructurings, productivity initiatives and other cost reduction actions; the impact of legal compliance risks and litigation, including with respect to product quality and safety, cybersecurity and privacy; and our ability to capture and protect intellectual property rights, and various other factors that are described in our periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
The Company may, from time to time, post financial or other information on its website, www.dovercorporation.com. The website is for informational purposes only and is not intended for use as a hyperlink. The Company is not incorporating any material on its website into this report.
Non-GAAP Disclosures
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP information, which we believe provides useful information to investors. Free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings, net debt, net capitalization, net debt to net capitalization ratio, adjusted working capital, and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, debt or equity, working capital or revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe the net debt to net capitalization ratio and free cash flow are important measures of liquidity. Net debt to net capitalization is helpful in evaluating our capital structure and the amount of leverage we employ. Free cash flow and free cash flow ratios provide both management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, pay dividends, repay debt and repurchase our common stock. Free cash flow as a percentage of revenue equals free cash flow divided by revenue. Free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings equals free cash flow divided by net earnings. We believe that reporting adjusted working capital provides a meaningful measure of liquidity by showing changes caused by operational results. We believe that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.
Reconciliations and comparisons to non-GAAP measures can be found above in this Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2023. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
