WESTLAKE, Ohio - Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ:NDSN) shares gained 3% after the precision technology company reported better-than-expected third-quarter results, with adjusted earnings rising 13% YoY as strong performance in its Advanced Technology Solutions segment offset weakness in other areas.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $2.73 per share for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, exceeding analyst estimates of $2.63. Revenue increased 12% to $742 million, surpassing the consensus forecast of $723.96 million and up from $662 million in the same quarter last year. The revenue growth included an 8% contribution from acquisitions, 2% organic growth, and a 2% boost from favorable currency translation.
"The Nordson team responded effectively to dynamic demand conditions in key end markets and delivered on its promises, realizing solid year-over-year organic growth in the quarter," said Nordson President and CEO Sundaram Nagarajan. "In particular, the Advanced Technology Solutions segment delivered 15% organic sales growth."
The company’s Advanced Technology Solutions segment saw a 17% revenue increase to $171 million, driven by robust growth in electronics dispense product lines. Meanwhile, the Industrial Precision Solutions segment reported a modest 1% revenue increase to $351 million, as weaker systems demand in polymer processing offset growth in other product lines.
Nordson maintained its full-year guidance, with sales now tracking slightly below the mid-point and adjusted earnings per share slightly above the mid-point of its original forecast. The company also reported strong cash flow conversion of 180% of net income for the quarter.
"Through our close-to-customer business model, diverse product portfolio and in-region, for-region manufacturing strategy, we have continuously demonstrated resilience and the ability to deliver solid growth and best-in-class profitability in varying market scenarios," Nagarajan added.
The company’s board of directors approved a new $500 million share repurchase authorization during the quarter.
