Nordson (NASDAQ:NDSN [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NDSN]) shares rose 2.6% in extended trading Wednesday after the company posted higher quarterly profit and sales, beating Wall Street’s expectations.

For the fiscal third quarter ended July 31, sales climbed 12% from a year earlier to $742 million, topping analyst estimates of $723.6 million.

Adjusted earnings rose 13% to $2.73 a share, topping last year’s $2.41 and beating the $2.64 consensus estimate. Net income increased to $126 million, or $2.22 a share, from $117 million, or $2.04 a share, a year earlier.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization grew 15% to $239 million, representing 32% of sales, while free cash flow conversion reached 180% of net income. The company’s board also authorized a new $500 million share repurchase program.

“The Nordson team responded effectively to dynamic demand conditions…realizing solid year-over-year organic growth,” President and Chief Executive Sundaram Nagarajan said in a statement. He added that operational discipline helped lift adjusted earnings and margins, while recent acquisitions, including Atrion, “exceeded expectations.”

By segment, Advanced Technology Solutions posted the strongest growth with sales up 17%, while Medical and Fluid Solutions rose 32% largely due to the Atrion deal. Industrial Precision Solutions sales were flat.

Looking ahead, Nordson (NASDAQ:NDSN [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NDSN]) reaffirmed its full-year guidance, saying sales are tracking just below the midpoint of its range, while adjusted earnings are trending slightly above.

The company in December provided fiscal 2025 guidance with sales projected between $2.75 billion and $2.87 billion (midpoint $2.81 billion) and adjusted earnings of $9.70-$10.50 (midpoint $10.10) a share.
