Key developments for NORDSON CORP (NDSN)
Nordson Corporation announced the election of three new directors to its board along with the re-election of two current directors, all for terms expiring in 2013. The total number of the company directors will remain at 12 as the three new directors replace three retired directors. Newly elected to the company's board of directors are Michael F. Hilton; Victor L. Richey Jr.; and Lee C. Banks. Prior to his joining the company, Hilton was Senior Vice President and General Manager for Air Products and Chemicals Inc. Richey is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ESCO Technologies Inc.
Nordson Corporation has introduced a new series of high speed, hot melt adhesive dispensing applicators, called MiniBlue II, that provide unmatched service life, resulting in greater productivity, less maintenance and reduced downtime in packaging operations. The new, compact MiniBlue II applicators combine unique module and solenoid technology to achieve more than twice the operating life of any pneumatic applicator in the packaging industry, while delivering fast, two-millisecond cycle times in a size that fits virtually any parent machinery and packaging application. In the MiniBlue II, patented and patent-pending hydraulic seal technology is paired with new high-speed Saturn(R) Platinum (SP) solenoid technology to provide superior, consistent performance in demanding environments. Packagers achieve lower total cost of ownership from less frequent module replacement and minimal need for solenoid adjustment. Moreover, unlike competitive products, the Saturn Platinum solenoid valve does not require the additional cost and wear-and-tear of an electrical spike driver to achieve high speeds.
Nordson Corporation reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2010. For the period, the company reported net income of $26,732,000 or $0.79 per basic share and $0.78 per diluted share on net sales of $220,589,000 against net income of $11,156,000 or $0.33 per basic and diluted share on net sales of $186,608,000 for the same period a year ago. Operating profit of $36,270,000 compared to $13,075,000 a year ago. Income before income taxes of $35,408,000 compared to $17,163,000 a year ago. Return on average shareholders' equity of 28% compared to 8% a year ago. The company delivered substantially improved results in the quarter, driven by improved order rates, continued penetration of emerging end markets, ongoing development of new applications, a lower cost structure and the ongoing focus and execution of its global team. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the company expects sales to increase in the range of 26% to 30% compared to the second quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.81 to $0.89, inclusive of a $0.01 charge related to restructuring activities.
