Earnings Conference Call   Third Quarter 2020   October 20, 2020 – 8:00am CT   Exhibit 99.1    
 
2   Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Measures   We want to remind everyone that our comments may contain forward-looking statements that are   inherently subject to uncertainties and risks, including the impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)   on the global economy and on our customers, suppliers, employees, operations, business, liquidity and   cash flow. We caution everyone to be guided in their analysis of Dover Corporation by referring to the   documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019   and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for a list of factors that could cause our results to differ from those   anticipated in any such forward-looking statements.   We would also direct your attention to our website, dovercorporation.com, where considerably more   information can be found.   In addition to financial measures based on U.S. GAAP, Dover provides supplemental non-GAAP   financial information. Management uses non-GAAP measures in addition to GAAP measures to   understand and compare operating results across periods, make resource allocation decisions, and for   forecasting and other purposes. Management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect results in a   manner that enables, in many instances, more meaningful analysis of trends and facilitates comparison   of results across periods and to those of peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures have   no standardized meaning presented in U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled   measures used by other companies due to potential differences between the companies in calculations.   The use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and they should not be considered as substitutes   for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with U.S.   GAAP. Reconciliations and definitions are included either in this presentation or in Dover’s earnings   release and investor supplement for the third quarter, which are available on Dover’s website.

Backlog building for 2021    Strong outlook in aluminum can making for the foreseeable future; positive momentum/backlog in heat   exchangers    Foodservice (~10% of segment) to remain challenged on soft institutional demand through year end    
 
9   FY2020 Guidance Update    Expect full year Adjusted EBIT margin(2) to be approximately flat year-over-year   – Expect favorable FY decremental margin(2) below 20-25% target range communicated   previously    ~$75M full year permanent cost reduction well above $50M goal at beginning of year   – Approximately $25M calendarization carryover benefit into 2021   – Some temporary cost reductions become semi-permanent (e.g., lower travel budgets)   (1) Non-GAAP measure (definition and reconciliation in appendix)   (2) Non-GAAP measure (definition in appendix)   EPS   EBIT   Cash Flow    Free Cash Flow(2) 11-12% of Revenue    Capex: ~$150M    Raising FY 2020 EPS guidance:   – GAAP: $4.52 – $4.57 (revised up from $4.16 - $4.41)   – Adjusted(1): $5.40 - $5.45 (revised up from $5.00 - $5.25)

18   Non-GAAP Definitions   Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures:   Adjusted Net Earnings: is defined as net earnings adjusted for the effect of acquisition-related amortization, rightsizing and other costs, a 2019 loss on assets   held for sale and a 2020 gain on disposition.   Adjusted Net Earnings Margin: is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by revenue.   Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Share: is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by average diluted shares.   Total Segment Earnings (EBIT): is defined as net earnings before income taxes, net interest expense and corporate expenses.   Total Segment Earnings (EBIT) Margin: is defined as total segment earnings (EBIT) divided by revenue.   Adjusted EBIT by Segment: is defined as net earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, corporate expenses, rightsizing and other costs, a 2019 loss   on assets held for sale and a 2020 gain/loss on disposition.   Adjusted EBIT Margin by Segment: is defined as adjusted EBIT by segment divided by segment revenue. The bps change Y-o-Y is calculated as the difference   between adjusted EBIT margin for the current period and the prior period.   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.   EBIT Conversion / Decremental Margin: is defined as the change in total adjusted segment earnings (EBIT) divided by the change in revenue.   Free Cash Flow: is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. 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. Free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted   net earnings equals free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.   Organic Revenue Growth: is defined as revenue growth excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of acquisitions and dispositions.   The tables included in this presentation provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP   measures. Further information regarding management’s use of these non-GAAP measures is included in Dover’s earnings release and investor supplement for the   third quarter.     
 
19   Performance Measure Definitions   Definitions of Performance Measures:   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.   We use the above 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.
