Q3 FY2025 results

8/21/25Aug 21, 2025

Nordson Corporation posted solid Q3 FY2025 results, with sales climbing 12.1% year-over-year to $741.5M, fueled by the Atrion acquisition and robust growth in Advanced Technology Solutions, though Industrial Precision Solutions held steady. Operating profit rose 12.4% to $187.8M, holding a steady 25.3% margin despite divestiture charges of $12.2M tied to exiting medical contract manufacturing; gross margin dipped 1.0 point to 54.8% on mix shifts. Diluted EPS edged up 8.8% to $2.22, aligning with 56.7M shares, while YTD sales grew 4.9% to $2.0B but net income fell 3.6% to $332.8M amid higher interest from acquisition debt. Cash swelled to $147.8M, with operating cash flow surging 12.3% to $516.3M and free cash flow at $467.3M after $49.0M capex; total debt stood at $2.1B including a $243.0M revolver draw, with $824.1M availability. The August 2024 Atrion buyout closed for $790.0M cash, adding $494.3M goodwill and $129.6M intangibles amortized over 15-19 years in Medical and Fluid Solutions. Yet tariff hikes could squeeze margins further.

Q2 FY2025 results

5/29/25May 29, 2025

Nordson Corporation posted Q2 FY2025 sales of $682.9M, up 5.0% y/y but flat q/q (derived), fueled by 20% y/y growth in Medical and Fluid Solutions from the Atrion acquisition while Industrial Precision Solutions dipped 7.6% y/y on softer systems demand. Gross margin held at 54.7%, down 1.5% y/y, as operating profit edged up 0.1% y/y to $168.8M despite higher costs; diluted EPS fell 3.9% y/y to $1.97, reconciling to 57,038 diluted shares with no anti-dilution flagged. YTD sales rose 1.1% y/y to $1.3B, but operating profit dropped 5.6% y/y to $309.7M and EPS slid 8.4% y/y to $3.62, pressured by acquisitions and foreign currency losses. Cash climbed to $130.2M with $278.3M operating cash flow, yielding $240.9M free cash flow (derived); total debt stood at $2.2B including $243M revolver draw, with $806.5M availability and covenant compliance. Closed Atrion in August 2024 for $790M all-cash, recognizing $494.3M goodwill and $129.6M intangibles amortized over 15-19 years. Acquisitions drive momentum, yet tariff shifts pose trade risks.
