Dover reported Q3 2023 revenue of $2.2 billion, in line with the prior year. GAAP net earnings increased 1% to $290 million, with GAAP diluted EPS up 3% to $2.06. Adjusted net earnings rose 2% to $331 million, and adjusted diluted EPS increased 4% to $2.35.
Consolidated segment margin reached a record-high level, driven by cost containment and solid execution.
Revenue and order rates improved sequentially due to improving activity across several end markets.
Backlog continued to normalize as lead times improved and longer-dated orders were shipped.
Portfolio moves, including the acquisition of FW Murphy and the sale of De-Sta-Co, continued the shift towards higher-growth and higher-return businesses.
Dover expects to generate GAAP EPS in the range of $7.51 to $7.61 (adjusted EPS of $8.75 to $8.85), based on approximately flat full year revenue growth (all-in and organic).
