Nordson Corporation Reports Fiscal Year 2020 Third Quarter Results
- Sales were $538 million, a 4% year-over-year decrease - Operating profit was $112 million, or 21% of sales - EBITDA was $148 million, or 28% of sales - Earnings were $1.49 per diluted share - Adjusted earnings were $1.42 per diluted share, a 12% decrease from prior year
WESTLAKE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 19, 2020--Nordson Corporation **** (Nasdaq: NDSN) today reported results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. For the quarter ended July 31, 2020, sales were $538 million, a 4% decrease compared to the prior year’s third quarter sales of $560 million. The diversity of our end market exposure and broad global customer base contributed to the sales performance in the quarter. The sales decrease was primarily organic, as the benefits from the recent acquisition of Fluortek were offset by unfavorable currency impacts.
Operating profit in the quarter was $112 million, or 21% of sales. Excluding non-recurring charges associated with cost structure simplification actions and the amortization of the step-up in acquired inventory, adjusted operating profit was $120 million, a 9% decrease compared to the prior year’s adjusted operating profit. EBITDA, which is defined as adjusted operating profit plus depreciation and amortization, in the quarter totaled $148 million, or 28% of sales.
Net income was $87 million, and earnings per diluted share were $1.49. Adjusted earnings, which excludes non-recurring charges, discrete tax benefits of $12 million and a non-cash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $3 million, totaled $83 million, or $1.42 per share.
“Throughout the quarter, our team remained focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees and responding to the needs of our customers,” commented Sundaram Nagarajan, president and chief executive officer. “At the same time, we made solid progress on our long-term strategic priorities by acquiring Fluortek, a high-quality medical company, and leveraging the next generation of the Nordson Business System – the NBS Next growth framework – to prioritize investments that will drive profitable growth and identify opportunities to simplify our cost structure.”
Third Quarter Segment Results
Industrial Precision Solutions sales of $289 million decreased approximately 6% compared to the prior year’s third quarter. Stable performance of those product lines serving consumer non-durable end markets was offset by weakness in sales of product lines serving industrial end markets. Operating profit, which included $3 million in structural cost reduction actions, totaled $75 million. Adjusted operating profit was $78 million, or 27% of sales, a decrease of 13% from the prior year adjusted operating profit.
Advanced Technology Solutions sales of $249 million decreased approximately 2% compared to the prior year’s third quarter. The Fluortek acquisition increased sales approximately 2%, which was more than offset by organic volume declines and unfavorable currency impacts. Sales volume increases in test and inspection product lines serving electronics end markets and stable demand in medical product lines were offset by weakness in fluid dispense product lines serving industrial end markets. Operating profit, which included $3 million of structural cost reduction actions and the amortization of the step-up in acquired inventory, totaled $50 million. Adjusted operating profit was $53 million, or 21% of sales, which was in line with prior year profits.
Outlook
“Given the challenging macro-economic environment, I am very pleased with our performance in the quarter and the progress we are making in aligning the organization,” Nagarajan stated. “We will continue to invest in these uncertain times and remain optimistic about the potential of the highly diversified and differentiated Nordson portfolio.”
While the short-term environment remains difficult to predict, we expect fiscal fourth quarter revenue to be commensurate with to slightly better than fiscal third quarter revenue based on the current order entry trends and order backlog. Weekly order entry rates have improved from the lower levels experienced during the third quarter. Entering the fourth quarter, trailing four-week order entry is 93% of prior year levels and backlog totaled $423 million. Operating profit is forecasted to improve modestly in the fiscal fourth quarter compared to the third quarter, as cost reduction initiatives begin to deliver benefits.
Nordson management will provide additional commentary on these results and outlook during a conference call Thursday, August 20, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, which can be accessed at https://investors.nordson.com.

| Management does not consider the effects of the adjustments identified above in evaluating the core operational activities of the Company.<br> Management uses these non-GAAP measures 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<br> 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<br> 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<br> financial measures, even if they have similar names. | ||||||||||||
