EX-99.1 2 nc2833ex991.txt Exhibit 99.1 NORDSON CORPORATION'S SECOND QUARTER SALES, NET INCOME AND EARNINGS ACHIEVE NEW RECORD LEVELS WESTLAKE, Ohio, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today announced record sales and earnings for the second quarter, which ended May 1, 2005. On a diluted basis, earnings per share for the quarter were $.47 compared with $.46 for the second quarter of 2004. Worldwide sales for the second quarter of 2005 reached a record $207.6 million, a 6 percent increase over sales of $196.6 million for the same period of 2004. Volume gains were 3 percent, with the remainder of the increase resulting from currency effects associated with a weaker U.S. dollar. Sales volume for the company's Finishing Systems segment increased by 17 percent and volume for its Advanced Technology segment was up 2 percent. Sales volume for the company's Adhesive Dispensing segment was flat relative to a year ago. On a geographic basis, second quarter sales volume was up 11 percent in the United States and 3 percent in the Americas. Sales volume decreased 1 percent and 8 percent in Europe and Japan respectively, while volume was up 5 percent in the Asia Pacific Region. Backlog at the end of the second quarter was approximately $95 million, up $16 million from the beginning of the fiscal year calculated at constant exchange rates. For the first half of 2005, sales were a record $397.8 million, an 8 percent increase over the same period of the prior year. Sales volume increased 5 percent with favorable currency effects accounting for the balance. Year-to-date earnings per share on a diluted basis were $.86, also a record, compared with $.73 for the same period last year. "Strong performance in the United States helped mitigate the effect of a softening business environment in both Europe and Japan. Although the performance of our Adhesive System businesses was adversely impacted by the business climate in these regions, we are encouraged with the continued strong pace of order activity in the United States, especially within our Advanced Technology segment," said Edward P. Campbell, Nordson Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to expect sales volume growth for the fiscal year, exclusive of acquisitions, to be in the four percent to five percent range," Campbell added.
