Nordson Corporation reported its fiscal second quarter 2025 results with sales reaching $683 million, marking a 5% increase from the previous year's second quarter sales of $651 million. The rise in sales was attributed to a favorable acquisition impact of 8%, which was partially offset by a 2% organic sales decrease and less than 1% unfavorable currency translation. The company's net income for the quarter was $112 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, compared to $118 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, in the prior year's second quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased by 3% to $2.42 from $2.34 in the previous year. EBITDA for the second quarter was $217 million, representing 32% of sales and a 7% increase from the prior year's EBITDA of $203 million, which was 31% of sales. The company noted a 5% growth in backlog during the quarter. Nordson's President and CEO, Sundaram Nagarajan, highlighted the increasing momentum in order entry, which helped the company outperform the mid-point of its sales and earnings guidance.
