MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY:
Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Tobin, said, "Dover's second quarter results were solid, driven by excellent production performance and strong shipment rates on orders received. Volume strength was broad-based across the portfolio, with four of our five operating segments posting top-line growth. Margin expansion was robust during the period due to previous portfolio additions, positive mix impact from our growth platforms, and our rigorous cost containment and productivity actions. Order trends continued their positive trajectory, bolstering our confidence in the second half outlook.
"Our strong operational results were complemented by ongoing portfolio actions. We completed two highly strategic bolt-on acquisitions that enhance our clean energy components platform, adding applications in highly attractive end markets and expanding our global reach and manufacturing base. We also announced the divestiture of our Environmental Solutions Group business unit, reducing our exposure to capital goods as we continue to migrate the portfolio toward high margin priority platforms. Based on the development of our inorganic pipeline over the last few months, we believe we are entering a market with a significant opportunity for capital deployment, with enhanced capacity and optionality from the divestiture proceeds.
"We are approaching the second half of 2024 constructively. Underlying end market demand is healthy and is supported by our sustained order rates. We are committed to achieving our full year guidance through a combination of organic growth, operational execution, and productive capital deployment."
FULL YEAR 2024 GUIDANCE:
In 2024, Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS in the range of $10.80 to $10.95 (adjusted EPS of $9.05 to $9.20), based on full year revenue growth of 3% to 4% (2% to 3% on an organic basis). Full year 2024 guidance includes the Environmental Solutions Group business unit.
