DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dover (NYSE: DOV) announced today that for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, revenue was $1.7 billion, a decrease of 4% from the prior year. Organic revenue declined 7% and acquisition revenue, net of dispositions, provided 3% growth in the quarter. Earnings from continuing operations were $130.1 million, a decrease of 30% as compared to $186.5 million for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, were $0.83, compared to $1.19 EPS in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 30%. Third quarter 2016 EPS of $0.83 decreased 27% as compared to third quarter 2015 adjusted EPS of $1.14, which excludes $0.05 of discrete tax benefits. There were no discrete tax benefits in the third quarter of 2016. EPS for the quarters ended September 30, 2016, and September 30, 2015, includes restructuring costs of $0.04 EPS and $0.05 EPS, respectively.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was $5.0 billion, a decrease of 5% from the prior year, reflecting an organic revenue decline of 7% and an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of 1%, offset by 3% growth from acquisition revenue, net of dispositions. Earnings from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, were $347.7 million, a decrease of 24% as compared to $459.3 million for the prior year period. Diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was $2.22, compared to $2.87 EPS in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 23%. EPS from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, includes discrete tax benefits of $0.04 and a gain on disposition of $0.07. Excluding discrete tax benefits and the gain on disposition, adjusted EPS from continuing operations decreased 25% to $2.11 from a comparable EPS of $2.82 in the prior year period. EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and September 30, 2015, also includes restructuring costs of $0.14 EPS and $0.17 EPS, respectively.

Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert A. Livingston, said, "Our third quarter results were disappointing. The continuing weak macro environment, further declines in longer cycle oil & gas exposed markets, and production inefficiencies in our retail refrigeration business impacted both volume and earnings. These results were well below our expectations, and more than offset solid improvements in our upstream drilling and production businesses, as well as continued strong performance in our Printing & Identification platform.

"As we announced on October 10, given these factors, we expect 2016 full year EPS to be in the range of $3.00 to $3.05. Within this guidance, organic revenue is forecasted to decline 7% to 8%.

"Regarding the fourth quarter, we expect further improvements in our early cycle upstream oil & gas markets, strong performance in Printing & Identification, and continued sequential growth in Fluids. We also expect a seasonal decline in Refrigeration & Food Equipment. These factors will result in our fourth quarter EPS to be largely in-line with the third quarter."

Net earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, were $130.1 million, or $0.83 EPS, compared to net earnings of $186.1 million, or $1.19 EPS, for the same period of 2015, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.4 million.

Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, were $347.7 million, or $0.83 EPS, compared to net earnings of $728.0 million, or $1.19 EPS, for the same period of 2015, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $268.7 million, or $1.68 EPS. 2015 earnings from discontinued operations included gains of $265.6 million, or $1.66 EPS, resulting from the disposition of two businesses held for sale.

Dover will host a webcast of its third quarter 2016 conference call at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time (9:00 A.M. Central Time) on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.

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 common share, free cash flow and organic revenue growth are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings per common share, cash flows from operating activities, 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 gains or losses from discrete and other tax items and for gain on disposition of business. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share represents adjusted earnings from continuing operations divided by average diluted shares. Management believes this information is useful to investors to better understand the company's ongoing profitability and facilitates easier comparisons of the company's profitability to prior and future periods and to its peers. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions, provides a useful comparison of our revenue performance and trends between periods.
