Daniel Hopgood, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Nordson, participated in the company’s fiscal 2026 third quarter earnings call on August 20, 2026. During the call, he discussed the company’s financial performance, noting that free cash flow generation for the quarter was $237 million, resulting in a 144% conversion rate on net income, excluding a non-cash loss, and marking the fifth consecutive quarter of over 100% conversion. He also stated that the company’s leverage ratio decreased to 1.7 times, which he attributed to strong earnings and cash flow generation, providing capacity for capital deployment such as returning cash to shareholders, reinvesting for growth, and acquiring strategic assets. Hopgood also addressed business segment performance, indicating that the upside in the third quarter and the outlook for the fourth quarter was driven significantly by the Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment, with medical also showing acceleration. He reiterated that over time, the company expects roughly half of its growth to come from organic sources and half from inorganic sources, while emphasizing the importance of staying disciplined in pursuing acquisitions that meet both strategic and financial criteria.
