Nordson Corporation Reports Record Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results and Increases Full Year Guidance

Second Quarter Highlights:

•Sales were a second quarter record of $741 million, an increase of 8% year-over-year

•Earnings per diluted share were $2.09, up 6% year-over-year

•Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.86, a second quarter record and up 18% year-over-year

•Continued strength in demand with backlog up 18% compared to prior year

•Increasing full year guidance for sales and earnings

WESTLAKE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2026--Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended April 30, 2026. Sales were a second quarter record of $741 million compared to the prior year’s second quarter sales of $683 million. The second quarter 2026 sales included an organic sales increase of 7% driven by growth in all segments, as well as a favorable currency translation impact of 3%. This sales result was slightly offset by the previously announced divestiture and the contribution of a small acquisition that was completed during the quarter.

Net income was $117 million, or $2.09 of earnings per diluted share, compared to prior year’s second quarter net income of $112 million, or $1.97 of earnings per diluted share. Second quarter 2026 earnings included a one-time, non-cash settlement charge to annuitize about 30% of the U.S. pension obligation and a non-cash loss on minority investments recognized during the quarter. Excluding these items and acquisition-related amortization and costs, second quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share were a record $2.86, an 18% increase from the prior year adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.42.

EBITDA was also a second quarter record of $235 million, or 32% of sales, an increase of 8% compared to prior year EBITDA of $217 million, or 32% of sales.

Commenting on the Company’s fiscal 2026 second quarter results, Nordson President and Chief Executive Officer Sundaram Nagarajan said, “Our solid execution of the Ascend Strategy resulted in second quarter records for sales, adjusted earnings and EBITDA. Our free cash flow conversion also continues to be a strength, enabling a healthy mix of shareholder returns and reinvestment in growth. Thank you to our teams for delivering another strong quarter.”

On March 16, 2026, the Company acquired CapstanAG Systems, a precision agriculture company in North America that is a complementary bolt-on to our existing footprint. This small, but strategic, acquisition provides the Company with an established and synergistic platform to grow its precision agriculture portfolio with mid-tier OEMs in North America.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Record second quarter Industrial Precision Solutions sales of $350 million increased 10% from the prior year, inclusive of an organic sales increase of 5%, favorable currency translation of 4%, and an acquisition contribution of 1%. The organic sales increase was driven by improving industrial coating and polymer processing systems demand, ongoing growth in precision agriculture end markets and stable demand in broader consumer and industrial end markets. EBITDA in the quarter was $124 million, or 35% of sales, up 9% from the prior year second quarter EBITDA of $114 million.

Medical and Fluid Solutions sales of $213 million, also a second quarter record, increased 5% compared to the prior year second quarter. This increase was inclusive of an organic sales increase of 8% and a favorable currency impact of 1%. Sales growth was partially offset by 4% related to the previously divested medical contract manufacturing business. The organic sales increase was driven by growth in engineered fluid solutions and medical product lines. EBITDA in the quarter was $79 million, or 37% of sales, up 3% from the prior year second quarter EBITDA of $77 million.

Record quarterly Advanced Technology Solutions sales of $178 million increased 10% compared to the prior year second quarter, inclusive of an organic sales increase of 8% and favorable currency translation of 2%. The organic sales increase was driven by ongoing growth in electronics dispense systems. EBITDA in the quarter was $48 million, or 27% of sales, up 22% from the prior year second quarter EBITDA of $40 million.

Outlook

The Company enters the third quarter with increased backlog, up 18% over the prior year. Order entry momentum was broad-based in the quarter across all segments. These trends position the Company to deliver third quarter fiscal 2026 sales in the range of $760 to $790 million. Third quarter adjusted earnings are forecasted to be in the range of $2.95 to $3.15 per diluted share.

Based on the continuing momentum of our end markets as evidenced by our backlog and order entry, the Company is increasing its full year guidance. Sales are now expected to be in the range of $2,930 to $3,010 million and adjusted earnings to be in the range of $11.30 to $11.80 per diluted share.

Reflecting on the full year outlook, Mr. Nagarajan said, “We delivered a strong first half of fiscal 2026, highlighted by record performance and ongoing momentum across our end markets. Supported by robust order entry and backlog, we expect this momentum to continue and are increasing our full year sales and earnings guidance. Our NBS Next growth framework, close-to-the-customer business model, and differentiated precision technologies position us well to compound profitable growth.”

(1) 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) Net income excluding non-cash loss (gain) on minority investments and pension charge is a non-GAAP measure used by management as an input to the calculation of Free cash flow conversion and is defined as Net income excluding non-cash losses (gains) on minority investments and pension settlement charge.

(3) 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 excluding non-cash losses (gains) on minority investments and pension settlement charge.

Management uses certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, free cash flow, and free cash flow conversion, 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.
