Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today reported results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended October 31, 2023. Sales were $719 million, a 5% increase compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter sales of $684 million. The increase in fourth quarter 2023 sales included the favorable 7% impact of acquisitions and favorable currency translation of 1%, offset by an organic decrease of 3%. The organic sales decrease was driven by electronics dispense and biopharma product lines, offset by strong growth in medical interventional solutions, industrial coatings and polymer processing product lines.

Operating profit in the quarter was $185 million, or 26% of sales. Adjusted operating profit, excluding $11 million in non-recurring acquisition costs, totaled $196 million, or 27% of sales. This was a 10% increase compared to prior year adjusted operating profit of $178 million. EBITDA in the quarter totaled a record $227 million, or 32% of sales, and represents an increase of 12% from the prior year EBITDA of $202 million.

Net income was $128 million, or earnings per diluted share of $2.22. Adjusted net income was $142 million, excluding $7 million of non-recurring financing costs related to the ARAG acquisition. Fourth quarter 2023 adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.46 compared to prior year adjusted earnings per diluted share of $2.44. The increase was driven by higher sales, offset by higher interest expense.

Commenting on the Company’s fiscal 2023 fourth quarter results, Nordson President and Chief Executive Officer Sundaram Nagarajan said, “The diversification of Nordson’s precision technology portfolio and the progress of the Ascend strategy shined through again this quarter. Our medical interventional solutions and several industrial precision product lines delivered double-digit growth in the quarter, while demand weakness in electronics and biopharma end markets persisted as expected. Throughout this dynamic year, our winning teams have remained focused on meeting the needs of our customers. They demonstrated an owner mindset and responded rapidly over the course of the year to changing market conditions. This led to total company performance exceeding our incremental profit targets. I am also very pleased with the integration progress of our recent ARAG acquisition, which contributed favorably to the fourth quarter results.”

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Industrial Precision Solutions sales of $405 million increased 14% compared to the prior year fourth quarter, driven by a 4% organic sales increase, a favorable acquisition impact of 7%, and a favorable currency impact of 2%. The organic sales increase was driven by record sales in our packaging, industrial coating and polymer processing product lines, largely driven by strong system sales in the Americas and Asia Pacific. Adjusted operating profit, which excludes non-recurring charges related to the ARAG acquisition, totaled $136 million in the quarter, or 34% of sales, an increase of 23% compared to the prior year operating profit. The increase in operating profit was driven by higher sales and improved sales mix.

Medical and Fluid Solutions sales of $169 million decreased 7% compared to the prior year fourth quarter, driven by an organic sales decrease of 8% that was partially offset by a favorable currency impact of 1%. The organic sales decrease was driven by continued softness in medical fluid components and fluid solutions product lines, partially offset by double-digit growth in our medical interventional solutions product lines. Operating profit totaled $48 million in the quarter, or 28% of sales, a decrease of 7% compared to the prior year operating profit due to lower sales volumes.

Advanced Technology Solutions sales of $145 million decreased 1% compared to the prior year fourth quarter, driven by an organic sales decrease of 16% that was principally offset by a favorable acquisition impact of 15% and a favorable currency impact of 1%. The organic sales decline was primarily driven by continued softness in our electronic dispense product lines, which serves the cyclical semiconductor end markets. Operating profit totaled $32 million in the quarter, or 22% of sales, a decrease of 16% compared to the prior year operating profit due to lower organic sales volume.

Fiscal 2023 Full Year Results

Sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, were a record $2.6 billion, an increase of 2% compared to the prior year. This sales growth was driven by a favorable acquisition impact of 4%, partially offset by a 1% decrease in organic volume and an unfavorable currency impact of 1%. Full year operating profit was $673 million. Net income was $487 million and diluted earnings per share were $8.46.

Adjusted operating profit, excluding $34 million in non-recurring costs, was $707 million, or 27% of sales, comparable to prior year adjusted operating profit of $707 million. EBITDA totaled a record $819 million, or 31% of sales. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $9.03, a 4% decrease from the prior year earnings per diluted share of $9.43, primarily due to higher interest expense.

Reflecting on fiscal 2023, Mr. Nagarajan continued, “In 2021, we launched our Ascend strategy with the milestone of achieving $3 billion in annual sales and greater than 30% EBITDA margins by 2025. As we complete the third year of our strategy, we are on track toward achieving this objective. This is our third consecutive year of record sales, demonstrating the execution of the NBS Next growth framework, exciting acquisitions reflecting our strategic capital deployment, entrepreneurial owner mindset and the continued development of winning teams at every level of our organization. In fiscal 2024, we are well positioned for the recovery of select end markets and the related incremental earnings power that will come with that growth. The Ascend strategy is creating a scalable, high quality earnings growth engine. I want to thank Nordson’s employees and customers for all of their continued support.”

Outlook

Following three consecutive years of record setting performance and a strong finish to fiscal 2023, we enter fiscal 2024 with approximately $800 million in backlog. The book-to-bill in the fourth quarter and the majority of 2023 was unfavorable as over $200 million in backlog was consumed.

Based on the combination of order entry, backlog and current exchange rates, we anticipate delivering sales growth in the range of 4% to 9% in fiscal 2024 when compared to fiscal 2023. Full year fiscal 2024 adjusted earnings are forecasted in the range of 1% to 8% growth per diluted share.

First quarter fiscal 2024 sales are forecasted in the range of $615 to $640 million with adjusted earnings in the range of $2.00 to $2.10 per diluted share. Starting in fiscal 2024, the Company’s definition of adjusted earnings will exclude acquisition related amortization for both current and historical periods (see the appendix for historical amounts).

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 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.
