2014 Acquisitions

During 2014, the Company acquired seven businesses in separate transactions for net cash consideration of $802,254. The businesses were acquired to complement and expand upon existing operations within the Energy, Fluids and Refrigeration & Food Equipment segments and the Printing & Identification platform of the Engineered Systems segment. The goodwill identified by these acquisitions reflects the benefits expected to be derived from product line expansion and operational synergies.  Upon consummation of the acquisitions, each of these businesses is now wholly-owned by Dover.

The following table details the acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company has substantially completed the purchase price allocations for the 2014 acquisitions, including that of Accelerated Companies LLC, which was purchased in October. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), including finalization of asset appraisals, the Company will refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.

The Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the results of these businesses from the dates of acquisition. The aggregate revenue and pre-tax loss of the 2014 acquisitions included in the Company’s 2014 consolidated revenue and earnings totaled $207,000 and $7,000, respectively.

Pro Forma Information
 
The following unaudited pro forma information illustrates the effect on the Company’s revenue and earnings from continuing operations for years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, assuming that the 2014 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 2013. As a result, the supplemental pro forma earnings reflect adjustments to earnings from continuing operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings to exclude $11,558 of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustments to acquisition-date inventory (after-tax) and $3,502 of acquisition-related costs (after-tax) from the year ended December 31, 2014. The supplemental pro forma earnings for the comparable 2013 period were adjusted to include these charges as if they were incurred at the beginning of 2012. The 2014 and 2013 supplemental pro forma earnings are also adjusted to reflect the comparable impact of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of tax) resulting from the fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets relating to 2014 and 2013 acquisitions.
