Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

"Note 3 Acquisitions Business acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method, with the acquired assets and liabilities recorded at estimated fair value on the dates of acquisition. The cost in excess of the net assets of the business acquired is included in goodwill. Operating results since the respective dates of acquisitions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 2024 Acquisition On August 21, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Atrion pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated May 28, 2024, with Alpha Medical Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson (Merger Sub), and Atrion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Atrion (the Merger), with Atrion surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson. Atrion is a leader in proprietary medical infusion fluid delivery and niche cardiovascular solutions and will operate within our Medical and Fluid Solutions segment. The all-cash acquisition of Atrion of $789,996, net of cash acquired, was funded using borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the 364-day term loan agreement with a group of banks for a delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (see Note 9 for additional details) and cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the purchase price allocation resulted in the reco

Share-based compensation · 10,061 characters as filed

"Note 14 Stock-based compensation During the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the Nordson Corporation 2021 Stock Incentive and Award Plan (the 2021 Plan) as the successor to the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive and Award Plan (the ""2012 Plan""). The 2021 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, cash awards and other stock or performance-based incentives. A maximum of 900 common shares were authorized for grant under the 2021 Plan plus the number of shares that were available to be granted under the 2012 Plan, as well as issuable under the CyberOptics equity plan. As of October 31, 2025, a total of 2,081 common shares were available to be granted under the 2021 Plan. Stock options Nonqualified or incentive stock options may be granted to our employees and directors. Generally, options granted to employees may be exercised beginning one year from the date of grant at a rate not exceeding 25 percent per year and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting accelerates upon a qualified termination in connection with a change in control. In the event of termination of employment due to early retirement or normal retirement at age 65, options granted within 12 months prior to termination are forfeited, and vesting continues post-retirement for all other unvested options granted. In the event of disability or death, all unvested stock options g

Goodwill and intangibles · 7,756 characters as filed

"Note 6 Goodwill and intangible assets We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 and account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the entities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill is the excess of purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired in various business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing. Our annual impairment testing is performed as of August 1. Testing is done more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount of those assets. We assess the fair value of reporting units on an annual basis using a quantitative analysis that uses a combination of the Income Approach and the guideline public company method of the Market Approach, and compare the result against the reporting units carrying value of net assets. The implied fair value of our reporting units is determined based on significant unobservable inputs, as discussed below; accordingly, these inputs fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Income Approach uses assumptions for revenue growth, operating margin and working capital turnover that are based on managements strategic plans tempered by performance trends and reasonable exp

Leases · 3,658 characters as filed

"Note 10 Leases We review new contracts to determine if the contracts include a lease. To the extent a lease agreement includes an extension option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, we have recognized those amounts as part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. We combine lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, in the calculation of the lease assets and related liabilities. As most lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate (""IBR"") based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments and to help classify the lease as operating or financing. We calculate the IBR based on a bond yield curve which considers secured borrowing rates based on our credit rating and current economic environment, as well as other publicly available data. We lease certain manufacturing facilities, warehouse space, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. We often have options to renew lease terms for buildings and other assets. We evaluate renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nordson Corporation and its 100%-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates and joint ventures in which our ownership is 50 percent or less or in which we do not have control but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Fiscal year Our fiscal year is November 1 through October 31. Revenue recognition A contract exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contract with a customer are satisfied. Generally, our revenue results from short-term, fixed-price contracts and primarily is recognized as of a point in time when the product is shipped or at a later point when the control of the product transfers to the customer.

"Income taxes We record our interim provision for income taxes based on our estimated annual effective tax rate, as well as certain items discrete to the current period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 was 18.9% and 19.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was lower than the U.S. tax rate of 21% primarily due to the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. One Big Beautiful Bill Act On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the ""OBBBA"") was signed into law in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant tax law changes, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. While several provisions under the OBBBA begin to take effect during the Companys fiscal year ended October 31, 2026, the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements in the three months ended January 31, 2026. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the OBBBA for the year ending October 31, 2026. The OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on the effective tax rate."
