Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today reported results for the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2025. Sales were $742 million compared to the prior year’s third quarter sales of $662 million. The third quarter 2025 sales included a favorable acquisition impact of 8%, an organic sales increase of 2% and a favorable currency translation impact of 2%.
Net income was $126 million, or $2.22 of earnings per diluted share, compared to prior year’s third quarter net income of $117 million, or $2.04 of earnings per diluted share. Excluding charges associated with the exit of the medical contract manufacturing business and acquisition-related amortization and costs, third quarter adjusted net income was $155 million versus prior year adjusted net income of $138 million. Third quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.73, a 13% increase from the prior year adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.41.
EBITDA in the third quarter was $239 million, or 32% of sales, an increase of 15% compared to prior year EBITDA of $208 million, or 31% of sales.
Commenting on the Company’s fiscal 2025 third quarter results, Nordson President and Chief Executive Officer Sundaram Nagarajan said, “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. In particular, the Advanced Technology Solutions segment delivered 15% organic sales growth. Operational excellence drove strong profit performance, increasing adjusted earnings per share by 13% and EBITDA by 15%. In this final full quarter of Atrion’s first year acquisition performance, our new employees again exceeded expectations and contributed to both sales and earnings results. Also this quarter, we maintained a strong balance sheet, delivering cash flow conversion of 180% of net income that we used to reduce debt, repurchase shares and return dividends to shareholders, while continuing to invest in the company.”
Third Quarter Segment Results
Industrial Precision Solutions sales of $351 million increased 1% from the prior year, inclusive of an organic sales decrease of 2% and favorable currency translation of 3%. The organic sales decrease was driven by weaker systems demand in polymer processing offsetting growth in most other product lines. Operating profit was $117 million, an increase of $2 million from the prior year. EBITDA in the quarter was $130 million, or 37% of sales, compared to prior year third quarter EBITDA of $131 million, or 37% of sales.
Medical and Fluid Solutions sales of $219 million increased 32% compared to the prior year third quarter, inclusive of an acquisition impact of 31% and a favorable currency impact of 1%. Organic sales were flat inclusive of the contract manufacturing business that is held for sale. Excluding the pending divestiture in both periods, organic sales increased 4% driven by medical fluid components and fluid solutions product lines. Operating profit was $53 million, an increase of $4 million from the prior year. Excluding acquisition costs and charges associated with the exit of the medical contract manufacturing business, operating profit was $65 million, an increase of $17 million from the prior year reflecting increased leverage of selling, general and administrative expenses in the core business, as well as contribution from the Atrion acquisition. EBITDA in the quarter was $83 million, or 38% of sales, up 34% versus the prior year third quarter EBITDA of $62 million, or 37% of sales.
Advanced Technology Solutions sales of $171 million increased 17% compared to the prior year third quarter, inclusive of an organic sales increase of 15% and favorable currency translation of 3%. The organic sales increase compared to prior year was driven by robust growth in electronics dispense product lines. Operating profit was $37 million, an increase of $11 million due to the strong conversion on increased organic sales. EBITDA in the quarter was $42 million, or 24% of sales, up 35% from the prior year third quarter EBITDA of $31 million, or 21% of sales.
Outlook
Backlog is down approximately 5% sequentially following a strong third quarter. This supports achieving the Company’s original full year sales and earnings guidance, assuming completion of the pending divestiture of the medical contract manufacturing business in the fourth quarter. Fiscal full year sales are now tracking slightly below the mid-point and full year adjusted earnings per share are now tracking slightly above the mid-point of our original guidance.
Reflecting on the full year outlook, Nagarajan said, “Following a strong third quarter, I am pleased that we are able to affirm our full year sales guidance and earnings expectations. NBS Next is driving organic growth by enhancing our new product vitality, best-in-class quality and delivery, while also empowering our teams to respond quickly to changing customer demand. 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.”
Nordson management will provide additional commentary on these results and outlook during its previously announced webcast on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, which can be accessed at https://investors.nordson.com.

The Company’s definition of adjusted earnings excludes restructuring, business exit and acquisition related cost / amortization for both current and historical periods. It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, acquisition-related amortization, certain non-operating or income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance to a comparable GAAP range.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities minus Additions to property, plant and equipment. |
|
(2) |
Free Cash Flow Conversion is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. |
Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and EBITDA, internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results, and evaluate the Company's current performance. Given management's use of these non-GAAP measures, the Company believes these measures are important to investors in understanding the Company's current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in the Company's core business across different time periods. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to other companies' non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. Amounts may not add due to rounding.
