Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2021

NOTE REGARDING AMOUNTS AND FISCAL YEAR REFERENCES

In this quarterly report, all amounts related to United States dollars and foreign currency and to the number of Nordson Corporation’s common shares, except for per share earnings and dividend amounts, are expressed in thousands. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we” or the “Company” mean Nordson Corporation.

Unless otherwise noted, all references to years relate to our fiscal year ending October 31.

Significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020.

Basis of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nordson Corporation and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates and joint ventures in which our ownership is 50% 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

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. Revenue for undelivered items is deferred and included within Accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues deferred as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material.

However, for certain contracts related to the sale of customer-specific products within our Advanced Technology Solutions segment, revenue is recognized over time as we satisfy performance obligations because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The continuous transfer of control to the customer occurs as we enhance assets that are customer controlled and we are contractually entitled to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable margin.

As control transfers over time for these products or services, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligations. The selection method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We have elected to use the input method – costs incurred for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of products or services to the customer based on incurring costs on the contract. Under this method, revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Contract assets recognized are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and contract liabilities are recorded in Accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were not material at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Revenue recognized over time is not material to our overall Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. As a practical expedient, we may exclude the assessment of whether goods or services are performance obligations, if they are immaterial in the context of the contract, and combine these with other performance obligations. While payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to transfer of control to the customer. We have also elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales

commissions as they are incurred as the amortization period resulting from capitalizing the costs is one year or less. These costs are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term and are generally not material. Certain arrangements may include installation, installation supervision, training, and spare parts, which tend to be completed in a short period of time, at an insignificant cost, and utilizing skills not unique to us, and, therefore, are typically regarded as inconsequential or not material.

We disclose disaggregated revenues by operating segment and geography in accordance with the revenue standard and on the same basis used internally by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating performance of operating segments and for allocating resources. Refer to our Operating Segments note.

Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year, while diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options computed using the treasury stock method, as well as restricted shares and deferred stock-based compensation. Options with an exercise price higher than the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were 92. No options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2020.

Recently issued accounting standards

New accounting guidance adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Prior guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflected losses once the losses are probable. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 and are now applying a current expected credit loss model that requires recognizing an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The standard requires judgment and consideration of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as the impact of any prepayments. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),” which is meant to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement), by providing guidance in determining when the arrangement includes a software license. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020. Hosted arrangements deemed to be in scope will follow the capitalization criteria for implementation costs as though they were internal-use computer software. There may be multiple elements besides the software license (such as: training, future upgrades, data conversion, and other elements) which require the allocation of the contract price to each of the elements; entities are to capitalize only those elements which meet the capitalization criteria. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosted arrangement including consideration for renewal or termination options. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard which removed, modified, and added certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance removed disclosure requirements pertaining to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. In addition, the amendment clarified that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The guidance added disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period as well as the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 with no material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

New accounting guidance issued and not yet adopted:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20),” a new standard which addresses defined benefit plans. The amendments modify the following disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans: the amounts in accumulated other

Nordson Corporation

comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, related party disclosure about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. A disclosure requirement was added for the explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. Additionally, the standard clarifies disclosure requirements surrounding the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

On September 1, 2020, we acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of vivaMOS Ltd. ("vivaMOS"), a developer and fabricator of high-end large-area complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors for a wide range of X-ray applications. We acquired vivaMOS for an aggregate purchase price of $17,154, net of cash and other closing adjustments of approximately $158, utilizing cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, goodwill of $14,394 and identifiable intangible assets of $4,040 were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $3,900 of technology (amortized over 10 years) and $140 of non-compete agreements (amortized over 3 years). Goodwill associated with this acquisition is not tax deductible. This acquisition is being reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment and the results of vivaMOS are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 31, 2021, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as we complete our assessments of income taxes.

On June 1, 2020, we acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Fluortek, Inc. ("Fluortek"), a precision plastic extrusion manufacturer that provides custom dimensioned tubing to the medical device industry. We acquired Fluortek for an aggregate purchase price of $125,260, net of cash and other closing adjustments of approximately $515, utilizing cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, property, plant and equipment and working capital – net of $19,843, goodwill of $76,047 and identifiable intangible assets of $29,370 were recorded. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $19,700 of customer relationships (amortized over 12 years), $7,400 of technology (amortized over 10 years), $1,500 of tradenames (amortized over 10 years), and $770 of non-compete agreements (amortized over 5 years). Goodwill associated with this acquisition is tax deductible. This acquisition is being reported in our Advanced Technology Solutions segment and the results for Fluortek are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of January 31, 2021, the purchase price allocations remain preliminary as we complete our assessments of income taxes.

Assets Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we committed to a plan to sell our screws and barrels product line within the Adhesives reporting unit under our Industrial Precision Solutions operating segment and determined that it met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Therefore, these assets and liabilities have been presented as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We entered into a letter of intent to sell the screws and barrels product line in October 2020. In December 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement with the buyer and the transaction was completed in February 2021.

Before measuring the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group as a whole, we first reviewed individual assets and liabilities to determine if any fair value adjustments were required and concluded no individual asset impairments were required. Then, based on the definitive agreement entered into by us and the buyer, we determined the fair value of the disposal group to be equal to the selling price, less costs to sell. Based on this review, we recorded a non-cash, assets held for sale impairment charge

Page 10

Nordson Corporation

of $87,371 in 2020. Subsequent adjustments to the loss due to changes in the carrying value of net assets held for sale as well as estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell were immaterial.

The assets and liabilities of the screws and barrels product line classified as held for sale at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020 were as follows:


	January 31, 2021		October 31, 2020
Receivables - net	$	9,883	$	14,327
Inventories - net	11,399		9,854
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,424		696
Property, plant and equipment - net	59,260		58,950
Other assets	24,016		23,159
Impairment on carrying value	(86,531)		(87,371)
Assets held for sale	$	19,451	$	19,615

Accounts payable	$	5,010	$	4,625
Accrued liabilities	4,315		3,352
Other liabilities	4,886		5,171
Liabilities held for sale	$	14,211	$	13,148

Excluding the non-cash, assets held for sale impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020, the operating results of the screws and barrels product line were not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented.

Receivables

Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is principally determined based on aging of receivables. Receivables are exposed to credit risk based on the customers' ability to pay which is influenced by, among other factors, their financial liquidity. We perform ongoing customer credit evaluation to maintain sufficient allowances for potential credit losses. Our segments perform credit evaluation and monitoring to estimate and manage credit risk through the review of customer information, credit ratings, approval and monitoring of customer credit limits, and assessment of market conditions. We may also require prepayments or bank guarantees from customers to mitigate credit risk. Our receivables are generally short-term in nature with a majority of receivables outstanding less than 90 days. Account receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if deemed uncollectible.

Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses of $9,243 and $9,045 at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the allowance for expected credit losses includes a provision for losses on receivables of $103 as well as an immaterial accounting standard adoption impact from ASU 2016-13 of $396 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to a provision for losses on receivables $388 in the three months ended October 31, 2020, which were principally offset by write-offs of uncollectible accounts.

Inventories

At January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, inventories consisted of the following:


	January 31, 2021		October 31, 2020
Finished goods	$	184,065	$	183,860
Raw materials and component parts	100,496		94,630

Property, Plant and Equipment

At January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:


	January 31, 2021		October 31, 2020
Land	$	8,883	$	8,816
Land improvements	4,631		4,611
Buildings	256,886		253,621
Machinery and equipment	476,264		464,171
Enterprise management system	51,697		56,103
Construction-in-progress	32,391		29,897
Leased property under capitalized leases	34,283		32,590
	865,035		849,809
Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(506,365)		(491,191)
	$	358,670	$	358,618

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Additions and improvements that extend the lives of assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Plant and equipment are depreciated for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of property under finance leases, over the terms of the leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful lives. Internal use software costs are expensed or capitalized depending on whether they are incurred in the preliminary project stage, application development or the post implementation stage. Amounts capitalized are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software beginning with the project's completion or the non-cancelable term of the arrangement with consideration for renewal options. Depreciation expense was $12,940 and $12,445 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively.

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, 2021 and 2020 was 20.7% and 17.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to share-based payment transactions which resulted in discrete tax benefits of $799 and $2,537 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, including adjustments for items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income, are shown below.

Stock-based compensation

During the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive and Award Plan (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 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 4,525 common shares were originally available for grant under the 2012 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 granted within 12 months prior to termination (or at any time prior to December 28, 2017) fully vest. Termination for any other reason results in forfeiture of unvested options and vested options in certain circumstances. The amortized cost of options is accelerated if the retirement eligibility date occurs before the normal vesting date. Option exercises are satisfied through the issuance of treasury shares on a first-in, first-out basis. We recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $2,236 and $2,725 in the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes activity related to stock options for the three months ended January 31, 2021:


	Number of Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Weighted Average Remaining Term
Outstanding at October 31, 2020	1,487	$	122.45
Granted	92	201.50
Exercised	(64)	116.96
Forfeited or expired	(6)	146.89
Outstanding at January 31, 2021	1,509	$	127.40	$	80,152	7.0 years
Expected to vest	600	$	156.03	$	16,077	8.5 years
Exercisable at January 31, 2021	902	$	108.12	$	63,938	5.9 years

As of January 31, 2021, there was $14,122 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years.

Nordson Corporation

The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Three Months Ended	January 31, 2021			January 31, 2020
Expected volatility	30.8%	-	32.6%	24.5%	-	25.4%
Expected dividend yield	0.83%			0.93%	-	1.16%
Risk-free interest rate	0.43%	-	0.54%	1.64%	-	1.69%
Expected life of the option (in years)	5.3	-	6.2	5.3	-	6.2

The weighted-average expected volatility used to value the 2021 and 2020 options was 31.0% and 25.1%, respectively.

Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $56.05 and $37.82, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,435 and $17,244, respectively.

Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7,438 and $16,379, respectively.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

We may grant restricted shares and/or restricted share units to our employees and directors. These shares or units may not be transferred for a designated period of time (generally one to three years) defined at the date of grant. We may also grant continuation awards in the form of restricted share units with cliff vesting and a gateway performance measure that must be achieved for the restricted share units to vest.

For employee recipients, in the event of termination of employment due to early retirement with the consent of the Company, restricted shares and units granted within 12 months prior to termination are forfeited, and other restricted shares and units vest on a pro-rata basis, subject to the consent of the Compensation Committee. In the event of termination of employment due to normal retirement at age 65, restricted shares and units granted within 12 months prior to termination are forfeited, and, for other restricted shares and units, the restriction period applicable to restricted shares will lapse and the shares will vest and be transferable and all unvested units will become vested in full, subject to the consent of the Compensation Committee. In the event of a recipient's disability or death, all restricted shares and units granted within 12 months prior to termination (or at any time prior to December 28, 2017), fully vest. Termination for any other reason prior to the lapse of any restrictions or vesting of units results in forfeiture of the shares or units.

For non-employee directors, all restrictions lapse in the event of disability or death of the non-employee director. Termination of service as a director for any other reason within one year of date of grant results in a pro-rata vesting of shares or units.

As shares or units are issued, deferred stock-based compensation equivalent to the fair value on the date of grant is expensed over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes activity related to restricted shares during the three months ended January 31, 2021:


	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted shares at October 31, 2020	58	$	148.75
Granted	—	—
Forfeited	(1)	147.93
Vested	(15)	139.70
Restricted shares units at January 31, 2021	42	$	151.90

As of January 31, 2021, there was $3,263 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted shares. The cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The amount charged to expense related to restricted shares during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $964 and $1,573, respectively. These amounts included common share dividends for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 of $18 and $25, respectively.

As of January 31, 2021, there was $14,526 of remaining expense to be recognized related to outstanding restricted share units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. The amount charged to expense related to restricted share units during each of the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $2,092 and $286, respectively.

Performance Share Incentive Awards

Executive officers and selected other key employees are eligible to receive common share-based incentive awards. Payouts, in the form of unrestricted common shares, vary based on the degree to which corporate financial performance exceeds predetermined threshold, target and maximum performance goals over three-year performance periods. No payout will occur unless threshold performance is achieved.

The amount of compensation expense is based upon current performance projections for each three-year period and the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered. The calculations are also based upon the grant date fair value determined using the closing market price of our common shares at the grant date, reduced by the implied value of dividends not to be paid. The per share values were $196.17 and $191.23 for 2021, $160.02, $133.01 and $184.04 for 2020. The amount charged to expense for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $4,755 and $1,421, respectively. The cumulative amount recorded in shareholders’ equity at January 31, 2021 was $4,592.

Deferred Compensation

Our executive officers and other highly compensated employees may elect to defer up to 100% of their base pay and cash incentive compensation, and for executive officers, up to 90% of their share-based performance incentive payout each year. Additional share units are credited for quarterly dividends paid on our common shares. Expense related to dividends paid under this plan for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $29 and $81, respectively.

Deferred Directors’ Compensation

Non-employee directors may defer all or part of their cash and equity-based compensation until retirement. Cash compensation may be deferred as cash or as share equivalent units. Deferred cash amounts are recorded as liabilities, and share equivalent units are recorded as equity. Additional share equivalent units are earned when common share dividends are declared.

The following table summarizes activity related to director deferred compensation share equivalent units during the three months ended January 31, 2021:


	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at October 31, 2019	120	$	60.81
Dividend equivalents	—	—
Distributions	(7)	81.32
Outstanding at January 31, 2021	113	$	59.93

The amount charged to expense related to director deferred compensation for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $62 and $44, respectively.

Warranties

We offer warranties to our customers depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. A typical warranty program requires that we repair or replace defective products within a specified time period (generally one year) from the date of delivery or first use. We record an estimate for future warranty-related costs based on actual historical return rates. Based on analysis of return rates and other factors, the adequacy of our warranty provisions are adjusted as necessary. The liability for warranty costs is included in Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating segments

We conduct business across two primary operating segments: Industrial Precision Solutions (IPS) and Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS). The composition of segments and measure of segment profitability is consistent with that used by our chief operating decision maker. The primary measure used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing performance is operating profit, which equals sales less cost of sales and certain operating expenses. Items below the operating profit line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (interest and investment income, interest expense and other income/expense) are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by our chief operating decision maker and are not presented by operating segment.

Effective in the second quarter of 2020, we made changes to realign our management team and our operating segments, which are reflected in our disclosures. This realignment will enable us to better serve global customers and markets, to more efficiently leverage technology synergies, to operate divisions of significant size in a consistent and focused way and to position ourselves for our next chapter of profitable growth. The revised operating segments better reflect how we manage the Company, allocate resources, and assess performance of the businesses.

We realigned our former three operating segments into two: Industrial Precision Solutions and Advanced Technology Solutions. Existing product lines were unchanged as part of this new structure.

Industrial Precision Solutions: This segment delivers proprietary dispensing and processing technology to diverse end markets. Product lines reduce material consumption, increase line efficiency and enhance product brand and appearance. Components are used for dispensing adhesives, coatings, paint, finishes, sealants and other materials. This segment primarily serves the non-durables, industrial and consumer durables markets.

Advanced Technology Solutions: This segment integrates our proprietary product technologies found in progressive stages of a customer’s production processes, such as surface treatment, precisely controlled dispensing of material and post-dispense test and inspection to ensure quality. Related single-use plastic molded syringes, cartridges, tips, fluid connection components, tubing, balloons and catheters are used to dispense or control fluids in production processes or within customers’ end products. This segment predominantly serves customers in the electronics, medical and related high-tech industrial markets.

The following table presents information about our segments:

Fair value measurements

The inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are classified into the following categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following tables present the classification of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


January 31, 2021	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(a)We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk of foreign currency exposures resulting from receivables, payables, intercompany receivables, intercompany payables and loans denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange contracts are valued using market exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedges.

(b)Executive officers and other highly compensated employees may defer up to 100 percent of their salary and annual cash incentive compensation and for executive officers, up to 90 percent of their long-term incentive compensation, into various

Page 18

Nordson Corporation

non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Deferrals can be allocated to various market performance measurement funds. Changes in the value of compensation deferred under these plans are recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying measurement funds.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments, other than cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable, are shown in the table below. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:

•Long-term debt is valued by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments

We operate internationally and enter into intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, we are subject to market risk arising from exchange rate movements between the dates foreign currency transactions occur and the dates they are settled. We regularly use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our risks related to most of these transactions. These contracts usually have maturities of 90 days or less and generally require us to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates stated in the contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in each accounting period in “Other – net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income together with the transaction gain or loss from the related balance sheet position. For the three months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized a net gain of $9,342 on foreign currency forward contracts and a realized net loss of $12,102 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. For the three months ended January 31, 2020, we recognized a net loss of $431 on foreign currency forward contracts and a net gain of $431 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions.

The following table summarizes, by currency, the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 and 2020:

The interest rate is variable based upon the LIBOR rate. At January 31, 2021, $155,000 was outstanding under this facility. The term loan outstanding under this facility is due in March 2024. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under this agreement was 0.93 percent at January 31, 2021. We were in compliance with all covenants at January 31, 2021.

Euro loan, due 2023 — In March 2020 we amended, restated and extended the term of our existing term loan facility with Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited. The interest rate is variable based on the EURIBOR rate. The Term Loan Agreement provides for the following term loans due in two tranches: €115,000 is due in March 2023 and an additional €150,000 that was drawn down in March 2020 is due in March 2023. The weighted average interest rate at January 31, 2021 was 0.71% percent. We were in compliance with all covenants at January 31, 2021.

Contingencies

We are involved in pending or potential litigation regarding environmental, product liability, patent, contract, employee and other matters arising from the normal course of business. Including the litigation and environmental matters discussed below, after consultation with legal counsel, we do not believe that losses in excess of the amounts we have accrued would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows.

Class Action Litigation

On February 22, 2019, a former employee, Mr. Ortiz, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior Court, California, against Nordson Asymtek, Inc. and Nordson Corporation, alleging various violations of the California Labor Code. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, an unspecified amount for unpaid wages, actual, consequential and incidental losses, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Following mediation in June 2020, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit, subject to the execution of a written settlement agreement and court approval. If the settlement agreement is approved, the class action lawsuit will be resolved. Management believes, based on currently available information, that the ultimate outcome of the proceeding described above will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental

We have voluntarily agreed with the City of New Richmond, Wisconsin and other Potentially Responsible Parties to share costs associated with the remediation of the City of New Richmond municipal landfill (the “Site”) and the construction of a potable water delivery system serving the impacted area down gradient of the Site. At January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, our accrual for the ongoing operation, maintenance and monitoring obligation at the Site was $360. The liability for environmental remediation represents management’s best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted costs related to known remediation obligations. The accuracy of our estimate of environmental liability is affected by several uncertainties such as additional requirements that may be identified in connection with remedial activities, the complexity and evolution of environmental laws and regulations, and the identification of presently unknown remediation requirements. Consequently, our liability could be greater than our current estimate. However, we do not expect that the costs associated with remediation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Founded in 1954, Nordson Corporation delivers precision technology solutions to help customers succeed worldwide. We engineer, manufacture and market differentiated products and systems used for precision dispensing, applying and controlling of adhesives, coatings, sealants, biomaterials, polymers, plastics and other materials; fluid management; test and inspection; and UV curing and plasma surface treatment. These products are supported with extensive application expertise and direct global sales and service. We serve a wide variety of consumer non-durable, consumer durable and technology end-markets including packaging, nonwovens, electronics, medical, appliances, energy, transportation, building and construction, and general product assembly and finishing. We have approximately 7,600 employees and direct operations in more than 35 countries.

Segment Update

Effective in the second quarter of 2020, we made changes to realign our management team and our operating segments. This realignment will enable us to better serve global customers and markets, to more efficiently leverage technology synergies, to operate divisions of significant size in a consistent and focused way and to position ourselves for our next chapter of profitable growth. The revised segments better reflect how we manage the Company, allocate resources, and assess performance of the businesses.

We realigned our former three operating segments into two: Industrial Precision Solutions (IPS) and Advanced Technology Solutions. Existing product lines were unchanged as part of this new structure.

Industrial Precision Solutions: This segment combines our former Adhesive Dispensing Systems (ADS) and Industrial Coating Systems (ICS) businesses. IPS enhances the technology synergies between ADS and ICS to deliver proprietary dispensing and processing technology, to diverse end markets. Product lines reduce material consumption, increase line efficiency and enhance product brand and appearance. Components are used for dispensing adhesives, coatings, paint, finishes, sealants and other materials. This segment primarily serves the industrial, consumer durables and non-durables markets.

The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of the preceding changes and prior periods have been revised to reflect these changes.

COVID-19 Update

We continue to support multiple “critical infrastructure” sectors by manufacturing materials and products needed for medical supply chains, packaging, transportation, energy, communications, and other critical infrastructure industries. We have benefited from our geographical and product diversification as the end markets we serve have remained resilient in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations for 2021 and potentially beyond. However, the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the markets we serve is uncertain and will depend largely on future developments, including the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or mitigate its economic, public health and other impacts. These developments are constantly evolving and cannot be accurately predicted. We continue to invest in the business, people, and strategies necessary to achieve our long-term priorities as we focus on driving profitable growth. We have continued to operate during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in all our production facilities, having taken the recommended public health measures to ensure worker and workplace safety. As a result, there have been unfavorable impacts on our manufacturing efficiencies. Additionally, we continue to take steps to offset cost increases from pandemic-related supply chain disruptions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated unaudited interim financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report are the responsibility of management. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and contain certain amounts that were based upon management’s best estimates, judgments and assumptions that were believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare our financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, judgments and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates used by management.

A comprehensive discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and management estimates and significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in critical accounting policies, management estimates or accounting policies followed since the year ended October 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

Three months ended January 31, 2021

Worldwide sales for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were $526,566 an increase of 6.4% from sales of $494,916 for the comparable period of 2020. The increase consisted of a 2.6% increase in organic sales volume, a favorable effect from currency translation of 2.8% and a 1.0% increase due to acquisitions. Strength in consumer non-durable and industrial end markets were the primary drivers of the growth.

Sales outside the United States accounted for 64.8% of our sales in the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to 61.9% in the comparable period of 2020. On a geographic basis, sales in the United States were $185,316, a decrease of 1.7% compared to the comparable period of 2020 consisting of a 2.8% decrease in organic sales volume partially offset by a 1.1% increase from acquisitions. In the Americas region, sales were $36,138, an increase of 16.3% from 2020, consisting of an organic sales volume increase of 9.9% and an increase of 9.8% due to acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable currency effects of 3.4%. In Europe, sales were $135,151, an increase of 6.9% from the comparable period of 2020, consisting of an organic sales volume increase of 0.3% and favorable currency effects of 6.6%. In Japan, sales were $27,115, a decrease of 1.6% from the comparable period of 2020, consisting of an organic sales volume decrease of 6.3%, offset by favorable currency effects of 4.7%. In the Asia Pacific region, sales were $142,846, an increase of 17.7% from the comparable period of 2020, consisting of an organic sales volume increase of 13.4% and favorable currency effects of 4.3%.

Cost of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were $236,606 up from $231,722 in the comparable period of 2020. Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of sales, increased to 55.1% from 53.2% in the comparable period of 2020. The 1.9 percentage point increase in gross margin was driven by a favorable sales volume and product mix impact of 1.0 percentage point, favorable currency translation effects of 0.5 of a percentage point, a favorable impact of 0.2 of a percentage point related to acquisitions, and lower costs related to cost structure simplification actions of 0.2 of a percentage point.

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were $180,935 down from $188,101 in the comparable period of 2020. Of the 3.8% decrease, lower services and employee related costs contributed 5.5 percentage points, and lower costs related to cost structure simplification actions contributed 1.3 percentage points. These improvements were partially offset by 2.2 percentage points due to unfavorable currency translation effects, and 0.8 of a percentage point due to acquisitions.

Operating profit as a percentage of sales increased to 20.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to 15.2% in the comparable period of 2020. Of the 5.5 percent increase in operating margin, lower services and employee related costs contributed 3.0 percentage points, favorable absorption due to higher sales volume and product mix contributed 1.4 percentage points, and lower costs related to cost structure simplification actions and favorable currency translations effects each contributed 0.6 of a percentage point.

Interest expense for the three months ended January 31, 2021 was $6,932, compared to $9,740 in the comparable period of 2020. The decrease was due to lower average debt levels and lower variable interest rates compared to the prior year period. Other expense was $4,661 compared to $2,846 in the comparable period of 2020 due to higher foreign currency losses. Included in the current year’s other expense were pension costs of $1,476 and $2,760 in foreign currency losses. Included in the prior year were pension costs of $2,772 and an immaterial impact from foreign currency.

Net income for the three months ended January 31, 2021 was $77,582, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to $52,004, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the same period of 2020. This represents a 49.2% increase in net income, and a 48.6% increase in diluted earnings per share.

Industrial Precision Solutions

Sales of the Industrial Precision Solutions segment were $288,416 in the three months ended January 31, 2021, an increase of 9.3%, from sales in the comparable period of 2020 of $263,799. The increase was the result of an organic sales volume increase of 5.9% and favorable currency effects that increased sales by 3.4%. Growth in product lines serving consumers in the non-durable and industrial end markets, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, was partially offset by weakness in Japan.

Operating profit as a percentage of sales increased to 28.9% for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to 21.4% in the comparable period of 2020. Of the 7.5 percentage point improvement in operating margin, lower services and employee related costs contributed 5.2 percentage points, favorable absorption due to higher sales volume and product mix contributed 2.0 percentage points, and favorable currency translation effects contributed 0.3 of a percentage point.

Advanced Technology Solutions

Sales of the Advanced Technology Solutions segment were $238,150 in the three months ended January 31, 2021, an increase of 3.0% from sales in the comparable period of 2020 of $231,117. The increase was the result of a 2.2% increase from acquisitions and favorable currency effects that increased sales by 2.1%, offset by an organic sales volume decrease of 1.3%. Sales growth in test and inspection and fluid dispense product lines was offset by weaker shipments in electronic dispense and medical interventional solutions product lines during the quarter. Growth in the Asia, Americas and Japan regions was partially offset by declines elsewhere.

Operating profit as a percentage of sales increased to 19.8% for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to 14.0% in the comparable period of 2020. Of the 5.8 percentage point improvement in operating margin, lower services and employee related costs contributed 3.6 percentage points, lower costs related to cost structure simplification actions contributed 1.3 percentage points, favorable currency translation effects contributed 0.7 of a percentage point, and favorable product mix contributed 0.5 of a percentage point. These improvements were minimally offset by 0.3 of a percentage point due to acquisitions.

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. Significant judgment is involved regarding the application of global income tax laws and regulations and when projecting the jurisdictional mix of income. We have considered several factors in determining the probability of realizing deferred income tax assets which include forecasted operating earnings, available tax planning strategies and the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse. We review our tax positions on a regular basis and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was 20.7% and 17.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to share-based payment transactions which resulted in discrete tax benefits of $799 and $2,537 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Foreign Currency Effects

In the aggregate, average exchange rates for 2021 used to translate international sales and operating results into U.S. dollars were generally favorable compared with average exchange rates existing during 2020, particularly due to a strengthening EURO and Chinese Yuan. It is not possible to precisely measure the impact on operating results arising from foreign currency exchange rate changes, because of changes in selling prices, sales volume, product mix and cost structure in each country in which we operate. However, if transactions for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were translated at exchange rates in effect during the same period of 2020, sales would have been approximately $13,800 lower while costs of sales and selling and administrative expenses would have been approximately $7,800 lower.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended January 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents increased $17,445. Cash provided by operations during this period was $143,289, compared to $116,275 for the three months ended January 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher net income. Changes in operating assets and liabilities increased cash by $29,416 in the three months ended January 31, 2021, compared to $28,486 in the comparable period of 2020.

Cash used in investing activities was $7,895 for the three months ended January 31, 2021, compared to $13,816 used in the comparable period of 2020 which included capital expenditures of $7,917 and $13,881 for the same periods, respectively.

Cash used in financing activities was $122,278 for the three months ended January 31, 2021, compared to $138,219 used in the comparable period of 2020. Repayments of long-term debt were $100,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2021, compared to $125,951 for the same period of 2020. Cash of $22,672 was used for dividend payments and cash of $5,310 was used for the purchase of treasury shares associated with employee benefit plans in the current year period, compared to $21,915 and $4,311, respectively, in the comparable period of 2020. Issuance of common shares related to employee benefit plans generated $7,438 during the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to $16,379 in 2020.

The following is a summary of significant changes in balance sheet captions from October 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021. The decrease of $17,132 in accrued liabilities was primarily due to compensation adjustments and bonuses paid out in the first quarter of 2021. Long-term debt decreased $86,668 primarily due to a repayment of $100,000 on our Term loan.

We believe that the combination of present capital resources, cash from operations and unused financing sources are more than adequate to meet cash requirements for 2021. There are no significant restrictions limiting the transfer of funds from international subsidiaries to the parent company. We were in compliance with all covenants at January 31, 2021. See Long-term debt in the notes to these financial statements for additional details regarding our debt outstanding.

Outlook

We are optimistic about our longer-term growth opportunities in the diverse consumer non-durable, industrial, medical, electronics, consumer durable and automotive end markets we serve. We also support our customers with parts and consumables, where a significant percentage of our revenue is recurring. Based on backlog and order entry trends, and the correlation to sales timing, we expect 2021 full year sales growth to be approximately 4% to 6% over 2020. Additionally, we are forecasting full year 2021 earnings per diluted share in the range of $6.30 to $6.70.

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and Release (this “Agreement”) is between John J. Keane (“Keane”) and Nordson Corporation (“Nordson”). Together, Keane and Nordson are referred to as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, Keane has been employed as an Executive Vice President of Nordson;

WHEREAS, Nordson believes that it is in its best interests to provide for Keane’s separation from the Company under certain circumstances expected to occur in early 2021, in particular Keane’s separation from Nordson and its subsidiaries and affiliates in connection with the consummation of one or more transactions by which Nordson divests itself of all or part of the Xaloy businesses (such divestiture, the “Xaloy Sale” and such termination of employment, “Keane’s Separation”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it is in their best interests to memorialize certain terms of the Keane Separation, including certain terms providing for Keane to receive certain separation payments and benefits, as set forth in detail below, in connection with the Xaloy Sale and Keane’s Separation.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises, terms, conditions, agreements, and mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.Separation Date and Ongoing Duty to Cooperate.

The Parties agree that Keane will separate from Keane’s position as an Executive Vice President of Nordson on February 1, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Central Time (the “Effective Date”) (the date of Keane’s Separation in this context, the “Separation Date”). The Parties also agree that, as of the Separation Date, Keane will resign from all other positions (including any directorships) Keane holds with, and as an employee of, Nordson and Nordson’s subsidiaries and affiliates, as applicable, and that Keane will promptly execute any documents and take any actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by Nordson to effectuate or memorialize Keane’s termination from all positions with Nordson and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Following the Separation Date, Keane will, without any additional compensation or any additional consideration, aside from the Separation Benefits described further below, respond to reasonable requests for information from Nordson regarding matters that may arise in Nordson’s business, provided that such requests do not unreasonably interfere with any professional responsibilities that Keane may have after the Separation Date. The Parties further agree that, following the Separation Date, Keane will reasonably cooperate with Nordson, its advisors and its legal counsel with respect to any litigation that is pending against Nordson and any claim or action that may be filed against Nordson in the future, provided that such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with any professional responsibilities that Keane may have after the Separation Date. Such cooperation shall include making Keane available at reasonable times and places for interviews, reviewing documents, testifying in a deposition or a legal or administrative proceeding, and providing advice to Nordson in preparing defenses to any pending or potential future claims against Nordson. Nordson agrees to (or to cause one of its affiliates to) pay/reimburse Keane for any approved travel expenses reasonably incurred as a

Exhibit 10.1

result of Keane’s cooperation with Nordson, with any such payments/reimbursements to be made in accordance with Nordson’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time.

2.Separation Benefits and Release of Claims.

In consideration for and contingent upon Keane (a) signing this Agreement prior to January 15, 2021, (b) signing, no earlier than the Separation Date, a general waiver and release of claims, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), (c) returning the executed Release to Nordson no earlier than the Separation Date and no later than seven days following the Separation Date, and (d) letting the Release become effective as set forth in the Release, Keane will receive the following payments and benefits, all subject to applicable tax withholding (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”):

•A lump sum cash amount equal to $495,000, which is equivalent to one full year of Keane’s fiscal year 2021 base salary. Nordson will pay this amount to Keane as soon as practicable (but no later than 30 days) following the Separation Date;

•A lump sum cash amount equal in value to Keane’s annual cash incentive that would have been earned for fiscal year 2021, pro-rated based on the number of days that Keane is employed by Nordson during fiscal year 2021, and calculated on the basis of actual performance for the applicable performance objectives based solely on the Corporate metrics for the entire performance period for such annual cash incentive. Nordson will pay this amount to Keane on the same date that the annual cash incentive for fiscal year 2021 would have been paid if Keane’s employment was not terminated, but in any event not later than January 15, 2022;

•A lump sum cash amount equal to $37,000, which is equivalent to one year of COBRA coverage; Nordson will pay this amount to Keane as soon as practicable (but no later than 30 days) following the Effective Date;

•Executive-level outplacement services through a provider of the Company’s choice until the earlier of six months following the Separation Date and the date on which Keane becomes employed by a subsequent employer;

•Financial and tax planning services up to $5,000 per year for 2020 and 2021; and

•Keane’s service-based stock option awards (“Options”), service-based restricted share awards (“Restricted Shares”) and performance share awards (“Performance Shares”) outstanding under Nordson’s applicable equity plans (the “Equity Plans”) as of the Separation Date will be treated (including for payment timing purposes) as provided in the applicable Equity Plans and award agreements as if Keane’s Separation was a “full retirement” (rather than an “early retirement”), provided that any Options and Restricted Shares granted to Keane less than 12 months prior to the Separation Date will not be forfeited, but instead will be treated as if they were Options and Restricted Shares granted to Keane more than 12 months prior to the Separation Date (the vesting schedule for any such Options subject to such treatment will continue to run from the original grant date of such Options) (collectively, the “Equity Treatment”).

Exhibit 10.1

The Equity Treatment will be in full satisfaction of any amounts due to Keane under the Equity Plans. Keane acknowledges and agrees that the Separation Benefits (other than the treatment of the Performance Shares) do not constitute benefits to which Keane would otherwise be entitled as a result of Keane’s employment with Nordson, that such Separation Benefits would not be due unless Keane signs and does not revoke the Release, and that such Separation Benefits constitute fair and adequate consideration for Keane’s promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Release.

With respect to the Restricted Shares awards referenced above, all applicable withholding requirements with respect thereto may be satisfied by retention by Nordson of a portion of the shares otherwise deliverable to Keane thereunder, with the shares so retained credited against such withholding requirement at the market value of such shares on the date of such delivery or vesting, provided that in no event will the market value of the shares to be so withheld exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. A failure by Keane to execute and return the Release no later than seven days following the Separation Date will relieve Nordson of the obligation to pay or provide the enhanced Separation Benefits described in this Agreement.

3.Post-Employment Obligations.

a.Keane agrees not to use or disclose any Confidential Information following the Separation Date. “Confidential Information” means information possessed by Nordson, and all of its divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, and predecessors, owned or controlled by Nordson anywhere in the world. Keane agrees not to use or disclose any Confidential Information about Nordson and its business activities not generally known which is used or is useful in the conduct of Nordson's business, or which confers or tends to confer a competitive advantage over one who does not possess the information. Confidential Information includes trade secrets, know-how, information about existing, new or envisioned Nordson products and processes and their development and performance, any scientific, engineering, or technical information, computer software and firmware, business and financial information, unpublished lists of names, and information relating to manufacturing, purchasing, inventories, data processing, personnel, marketing, sales, pricing, costs and quotations. Confidential Information also includes information received by Nordson from others which Nordson has an obligation to treat as confidential. Keane understands that this provision shall continue to bind Keane only so long as such information remains Confidential Information.

b.Notwithstanding the above obligations, and under the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), Keane understands that Keane will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, under the DTSA, Keane understands that if Keane files a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, Keane may disclose the trade secret to Keane’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as Keane files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

Exhibit 10.1

c.Keane further agrees to return to Nordson on or near the Separation Date, in reasonably good condition, all things and documents containing Confidential Information including copies thereof in Keane’s possession, whether made by Keane or others.

d.Keane agrees that, for a period of one year immediately following the Separation Date, Keane will not, either as principal, agent, consultant, employee or otherwise, render services similar to those Keane rendered to Nordson on behalf of any person, to any of the following companies:

Atlas Copco

Carlisle Fluid Technologies

Fisnar, an Ellsworth Adhesives company

Graco Inc.

ITW Dynatec

ITW EAE

Loctite, a division of Henkel

Maag Group, a Dover company

PVA

Robatech AG

Techon, an OK International company

Valco Cincinnati Consumer Products, Inc.

Valco Melton

Wagner International AG, J. Wagner GmbH, Reinhardt-Technik GmbH, and WALTHER Spritz-und Lackiersysteme GmbH

e. Keane agrees that, for a period of one year immediately following the Separation Date, Keane will not directly or indirectly, solicit away from Nordson, any person or entity that:

i.is or was a customer of Nordson at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Separation Date, and with whom Keane dealt directly or indirectly, and/or about whom Keane had access to Confidential Information, during that same one-year period; and/or

ii.has been actively pursued as a prospective customer of Nordson at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Separation Date, and with whom Keane dealt, directly or indirectly, and/or about whom Keane had access to Confidential Information, during that same one-year period, and in respect of whom Nordson has not determined to cease all such pursuit; and/or

iii.is or was an officer, director, employee, independent contractor or agent of Nordson at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Separation Date.

4.Acknowledgments.

Keane agrees that: (a) Keane has been properly paid for all hours worked; (b) Keane has not suffered any on-the-job injury for which Keane has not already filed a claim; and (c) Keane has been properly provided any needed military, family or medical leaves of absence and

Exhibit 10.1

that Keane has not been subjected to any improper treatment, conduct or actions due to or related to any request for, or taking of, any such leave of absence. No Nordson policy or individual agreement between Nordson and Keane shall prevent Keane from providing information to government authorities regarding possible legal violations, participating in investigations, testifying in proceedings regarding Nordson’s past or future conduct, engaging in any future activities protected under the whistleblower statutes administered by any government agency (e.g., EEOC, NLRB, SEC, etc.) or receiving a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency. Nordson nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by privilege. By executing this Agreement Keane represents that, as of the date Keane signs this Agreement, no claims, lawsuits, or charges have been filed by Keane or on Keane’s behalf against Nordson or any of its legal predecessors, successors, assigns, fiduciaries, parents, subsidiaries, divisions or other affiliates, or any of the foregoing’s respective past, present or future principals, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, trustees, administrators, executors or representatives. Nordson agrees that this Agreement does not extend to, release or modify any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which Keane is entitled from Nordson or its insurers under Nordson’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or other corporate governing law or instruments.

5.Return of Company Property.

On or near the Separation Date, Keane agrees to return to Nordson in reasonable working order all Nordson property in Keane’s possession or control, including without limitation all records, paper and electronic files, documents, software programs, and copies thereof, pertaining to the business of Nordson, which records, files, documents and programs may constitute proprietary information belonging solely to Nordson. Keane may not retain copies of any such records, files, documents or programs, and hereby relinquishes and assigns to Nordson, as applicable, any and all rights, if any, that Keane may have in any such records, files, documents or programs. It is understood and agreed that deletions of Nordson data on computers and hard drives is considered destruction of Nordson property and therefore all data must remain and/or be returned intact to Nordson.

6.Non-Disparagement.

The Parties agree that they will not make or cause to be made any statements or communications that reasonably may have the effect of disparaging, or of diminishing or damaging the goodwill and reputation, of the other or any of the releasees described in the Release.

7.Tax Matters.

By signing this Agreement, Keane acknowledges that Keane will be solely responsible for any taxes that may be imposed on Keane as a result of the Separation Benefits, all amounts payable to Keane under this Agreement will be subject to applicable tax withholding by Nordson, and Nordson has not made any representations or guarantees regarding the tax result for Keane with respect to any income recognized by Keane in connection with this Agreement or the Separation Benefits.

8.Not an Acknowledgment of Wrongdoing.

Exhibit 10.1

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to mean that either of the Parties has engaged in any wrongdoing or unlawful conduct.

9.Acceptance.

a.This Agreement is important. To be certain that this Agreement will resolve any and all concerns that Keane might have, Nordson requests that Keane carefully consider its terms, including the Release, before signing it. If the Parties agree to the terms of this Agreement, the Parties should sign in the applicable space below where their agreement is indicated. The payments and benefits specified in this Agreement are contingent on Keane (i) signing this Agreement and (ii) signing and returning to Nordson the Release no earlier than the Separation Date and no later than seven calendar days following the Separation Date, and not revoking the Release.

b.Keane represents that Keane has read carefully and fully understands the terms of this Agreement, and that Keane has been advised by Nordson to consult with an attorney (as well as any other professional whose advice Keane values, such as an accountant or financial advisor) before signing this Agreement.

c.By signing this Agreement, Keane acknowledges that Keane is doing so freely, knowingly and voluntarily. Keane acknowledges that in signing this Agreement Keane has relied only on the promises written in this Agreement and not on any other promise made by the releasees described in the Release, Nordson or any past, present or future parents, subsidiaries or affiliates of Nordson (collectively, the “Nordson Companies”). This Agreement and the Release contain the entire agreement between Nordson, other Nordson Companies and Keane regarding Keane’s separation from Nordson.

10.Revocation and Effective Date.

For a period of seven (7) days following Keane’s execution of this Agreement, Keane may revoke this Agreement, provided Keane does so in writing. This Agreement shall not become effective until this seven (7) day revocation period has expired. Any such revocation letter must be addressed to Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Nordson Corporation, 28601 Clemens Road, Westlake, Ohio 44145.

11.Miscellaneous.

a.Each term of this Agreement is contractual and not merely a recital.

b.This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be fully effective as an original, but which together shall constitute one instrument.

c.This Agreement and the Equity Plans and equity award agreements referenced herein contain all of the representations and warranties, express and implied, oral and written, of the Parties hereto, and the entire understanding and agreement between and among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No other agreements, covenants, representations, or warranties, express or implied, oral or written, have been made by any Party

Exhibit 10.1

with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. All prior contemporaneous conversations, negotiations, proposed agreements, representations, covenants, and warranties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement are merged herein, waived, superseded, and replaced in total by this Agreement. This is an integrated Agreement. It may not be altered or modified except by a writing signed by all Parties in interest at the time of the alteration or modification.

d.Each of the Parties agrees to execute all documents and take all such further action as may be necessary to evidence and effect the provisions of this Agreement.

e.If any provision of this Agreement or the Release is held to be unlawful or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and deleted and neither such provision nor its severance and deletion shall affect the validity of the remaining provisions; provided, however, that to the extent that any provision in this Agreement or the Release could be modified to render it enforceable under applicable law, it shall be deemed so modified and enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law.

f.This Agreement shall be considered to be jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and shall not be construed against any Party.

g.This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. To the extent, however, federal law preempts state law, it shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed under federal law. For the adjudication of any dispute related to this Agreement or its subject matter, the Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state and/or federal court within the State of Ohio, and they agree to bring any such claims within such courts.

h.This Agreement shall continue perpetually and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their heirs, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, related companies, assigns, and all other persons, firms and corporations with any interest therein.

i.The Parties agree that neither the waiver by any Party of a breach of or default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure of any party, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

WHEREFORE, the Parties have executed this Agreement or have caused this Agreement to be executed on their behalf by the signatures of duly authorized representatives.

Exhibit 10.1

Exhibit A

Release

This Release is between Nordson Corporation (“Nordson”) and John J. Keane (“Executive”), in consideration of certain benefits provided to Executive and to be received by Executive from Nordson as described in the Separation Agreement and Release between Nordson and Executive dated as of the applicable date referenced therein (the “Separation Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Separation Agreement.

By signing this Release, Executive and Nordson hereby agree as follows:

1. Claims Released.

Executive, for Executive and on behalf of anyone claiming through Executive including each and all of Executive’s legal representatives, administrators, executors, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Executive Releasors”), does hereby fully, finally and forever release, absolve and discharge Nordson and each and all of its legal predecessors, successors, assigns, fiduciaries, parents, subsidiaries, divisions and other affiliates, and each of the foregoing’s respective past, present and future principals, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, attorneys, trustees, administrators, executors and representatives (collectively, the “Nordson Released Parties”), of, from and for any and all claims, causes of action, lawsuits, controversies, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses and demands of any nature whatsoever, at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, that the Executive Releasors (or any of them) now have, have ever had, or may have against Nordson Released Parties (or any of them) based upon, arising out of, concerning, relating to or resulting from any act, omission, matter, fact, occurrence, transaction, claim, contention, statement or event occurring or existing at any time in the past up to and including the date on which Executive signs this Release, including, without limitation: (a) all claims arising out of or in any way relating to Executive’s employment with or separation of employment from Nordson or its affiliates; (b) all claims for compensation or benefits, including salary, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock options, restricted stock units or any other ownership interests in Nordson Released Parties; (c) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (d) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation, invasion of privacy and emotional distress; (e) all other common law claims; and (f) all claims (including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys fees, expenses or otherwise) that were or could have been asserted by Executive or on Executive’s behalf in any federal, state, or local court, commission, or agency, or under any federal, state, local, employment, services or other law, regulation, ordinance, constitutional provision, executive order or other source of law, including without limitation under any of the following laws, as amended from time to time: the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the “ADEA”), as amended by the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (the “OWBPA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 & 1981a, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the Family and Medical Leave Act, The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the National Labor Relations Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Worker Adjustment

Exhibit 10.1

Retraining and Notification Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, Federal Executive Order 11246, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

2. Scope of Release.

Nothing in this Release (a) shall release Nordson from any of its obligations set forth in the Separation Agreement or any claim that by law is non-waivable, (b) shall release Nordson from any obligation to defend and/or indemnify Executive against any third party claims arising out of any action or inaction by Executive during the time of Executive’s employment and within the scope of Executive’s duties with Nordson to the extent Executive has any such defense or indemnification right, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent the claims are covered by Nordson’s director & officer liability insurance or (c) shall affect Executive’s right to file a claim for workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance benefits.

Executive further acknowledges that by signing this Release, Executive does not waive the right to file a charge against Nordson with, communicate with or participate in any investigation by the EEOC, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any comparable state or local agency. However, Executive waives and releases, to the fullest extent legally permissible, all entitlement to any form of monetary relief arising from a charge Executive or others may file, including without limitation any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees. Executive understands that this waiver and release of monetary relief would not affect an enforcement agency’s ability to investigate a charge or to pursue relief on behalf of others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will not give up Executive’s right to any benefits to which Executive is entitled under any retirement plan of Nordson that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Executive’s rights, if any, under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (COBRA), or any monetary award offered by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

By executing this Release Executive represents that, as of the date Executive signs this Release, no claims, lawsuits, grievances, or charges have been filed by Executive or on Executive’s behalf against Nordson Released Parties.

3. Knowing and Voluntary ADEA Waiver.

In compliance with the requirements of the OWBPA, Executive acknowledges by Executive’s signature below that, with respect to the rights and claims waived and released in this Release under the ADEA, Executive specifically acknowledges and agrees as follows: (a) Executive has read and understands the terms of this Release; (b) Executive has been advised and hereby is advised, and has had the opportunity, to consult with an attorney before signing this Release; (c) the Release is written in a manner understood by Executive; (d) Executive is releasing Nordson and the other Company Released Parties from, among other things, any claims that Executive may have against them pursuant to the ADEA; (e) the releases contained in this Release do not cover rights or claims that may arise after Executive signs this Release; (f) Executive will receive valuable consideration in exchange for the Release other than amounts Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive; (g) Executive has been given a period of at least 21 days in which to consider and execute this Release (although Executive may elect not to use the full consideration period at Executive’s option); (h) Executive may revoke this Release during the seven-day period following the date on which Executive signs this Release,

Exhibit 10.1

and this Release will not become effective and enforceable until the seven-day revocation period has expired; and (i) any such revocation must be submitted in writing to Nordson c/o Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Nordson Corporation, 28601 Clemens Road, Westlake, Ohio 44145, prior to the expiration of such seven-day revocation period. If Executive revokes this Release within such seven-day revocation period, it shall be null and void.

4. Reaffirmation of Restrictive Covenants.

Executive agrees to and reaffirms Executive’s restrictive covenant obligations as outlined in the Separation Agreement (“Restrictive Covenants”) and acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants remain in full force and effect.

5. Entire Agreement.

This Release, the Separation Agreement, and the documents referenced therein contain the entire agreement between Executive and Nordson and take priority over any other written or oral understanding or agreement that may have existed in the past. Executive acknowledges that no other promises or agreements have been offered for this Release (other than those described above) and that no other promises or agreements will be binding unless they are in writing and signed by Executive and Nordson.

I agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Release.

<div style="margin-top:6pt">New accounting guidance adopted:</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Prior guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflected losses once the losses are probable. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 and are now applying a current expected credit loss model that requires recognizing an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The standard requires judgment and consideration of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as the impact of any prepayments. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),” which is meant to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement), by providing guidance in determining when the arrangement includes a software license. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020. Hosted arrangements deemed to be in scope will follow the capitalization criteria for implementation costs as though they were internal-use computer software. There may be multiple elements besides the software license (such as: training, future upgrades, data conversion, and other elements) which require the allocation of the contract price to each of the elements; entities are to capitalize only those elements which meet the capitalization criteria. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosted arrangement including consideration for renewal or termination options. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard which removed, modified, and added certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance removed disclosure requirements pertaining to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. In addition, the amendment clarified that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The guidance added disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period as well as the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 with no material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt">New accounting guidance issued and not yet adopted:</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20),” a new standard which addresses defined benefit plans. The amendments modify the following disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans: the amounts in accumulated other </div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, related party disclosure about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. A disclosure requirement was added for the explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. Additionally, the standard clarifies disclosure requirements surrounding the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.</div>

The 2012 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 4,525 common shares were originally available for grant under the 2012 Plan.</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Stock Options</div><div style="margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">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 granted within 12 months prior to termination (or at any time prior to December 28, 2017) fully vest. Termination for any other reason results in forfeiture of unvested options and vested options in certain circumstances. The amortized cost of options is accelerated if the retirement eligibility date occurs before the normal vesting date. Option exercises are satisfied through the issuance of treasury shares on a first-in, first-out basis. We recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $2,236 and $2,725 in the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. </div><div style="margin-top:6pt">The following

Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended
Significant Accounting Policies	Jan. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020. Basis of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nordson Corporation and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates and joint ventures in which our ownership is 50% 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. 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. Revenue for undelivered items is deferred and included within Accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues deferred as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material. However, for certain contracts related to the sale of customer-specific products within our Advanced Technology Solutions segment, revenue is recognized over time as we satisfy performance obligations because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The continuous transfer of control to the customer occurs as we enhance assets that are customer controlled and we are contractually entitled to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable margin. As control transfers over time for these products or services, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligations. The selection method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We have elected to use the input method – costs incurred for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of products or services to the customer based on incurring costs on the contract. Under this method, revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Contract assets recognized are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and contract liabilities are recorded in Accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were not material at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Revenue recognized over time is not material to our overall Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. As a practical expedient, we may exclude the assessment of whether goods or services are performance obligations, if they are immaterial in the context of the contract, and combine these with other performance obligations. While payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to transfer of control to the customer. We have also elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as they are incurred as the amortization period resulting from capitalizing the costs is one year or less. These costs are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term and are generally not material. Certain arrangements may include installation, installation supervision, training, and spare parts, which tend to be completed in a short period of time, at an insignificant cost, and utilizing skills not unique to us, and, therefore, are typically regarded as inconsequential or not material. We disclose disaggregated revenues by operating segment and geography in accordance with the revenue standard and on the same basis used internally by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating performance of operating segments and for allocating resources. Refer to our Operating Segments note. Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year, while diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options computed using the treasury stock method, as well as restricted shares and deferred stock-based compensation. Options with an exercise price higher than the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were 92. No options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	3 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Jan. 31, 2021
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently issued accounting standards New accounting guidance adopted: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Prior guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflected losses once the losses are probable. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 and are now applying a current expected credit loss model that requires recognizing an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The standard requires judgment and consideration of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as the impact of any prepayments. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),” which is meant to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement), by providing guidance in determining when the arrangement includes a software license. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020. Hosted arrangements deemed to be in scope will follow the capitalization criteria for implementation costs as though they were internal-use computer software. There may be multiple elements besides the software license (such as: training, future upgrades, data conversion, and other elements) which require the allocation of the contract price to each of the elements; entities are to capitalize only those elements which meet the capitalization criteria. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosted arrangement including consideration for renewal or termination options. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard which removed, modified, and added certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance removed disclosure requirements pertaining to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. In addition, the amendment clarified that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The guidance added disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period as well as the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 with no material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. New accounting guidance issued and not yet adopted: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20),” a new standard which addresses defined benefit plans. The amendments modify the following disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans: the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, related party disclosure about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. A disclosure requirement was added for the explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. Additionally, the standard clarifies disclosure requirements surrounding the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The entire disclosure for change in accounting principle. Includes, but is not limited to, nature, reason, and method of adopting amendment to accounting standards or other change in accounting principle.

Receivables	3 Months Ended
Receivables	Jan. 31, 2021
Credit Loss [Abstract]
Receivables	Receivables Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is principally determined based on aging of receivables. Receivables are exposed to credit risk based on the customers' ability to pay which is influenced by, among other factors, their financial liquidity. We perform ongoing customer credit evaluation to maintain sufficient allowances for potential credit losses. Our segments perform credit evaluation and monitoring to estimate and manage credit risk through the review of customer information, credit ratings, approval and monitoring of customer credit limits, and assessment of market conditions. We may also require prepayments or bank guarantees from customers to mitigate credit risk. Our receivables are generally short-term in nature with a majority of receivables outstanding less than 90 days. Account receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if deemed uncollectible. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses of $9,243 and $9,045 at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the allowance for expected credit losses includes a provision for losses on receivables of $103 as well as an immaterial accounting standard adoption impact from ASU 2016-13 of $396 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 compared to a provision for losses on receivables $388 in the three months ended October 31, 2020, which were principally offset by write-offs of uncollectible accounts.

Income Taxes	Jan. 31, 2021
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	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, 2021 and 2020 was 20.7% and 17.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was higher than the comparable prior year period primarily due to share-based payment transactions which resulted in discrete tax benefits of $799 and $2,537 for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Expected volatility	30.8%	-	32.6%	24.5%	-	25.4%
Expected dividend yield	0.83%			0.93%	-	1.16%
Risk-free interest rate	0.43%	-	0.54%	1.64%	-	1.69%
Expected life of the option (in years)	5.3	-	6.2	5.3	-	6.2

The weighted-average expected volatility used to value the 2021 and 2020 options was 31.0% and 25.1%, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $56.05 and $37.82, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $5,435 and $17,244, respectively.

Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7,438 and $16,379, respectively.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

As shares or units are issued, deferred stock-based compensation equivalent to the fair value on the date of grant is expensed over the vesting period.

Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Contingencies	Jan. 31, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies We are involved in pending or potential litigation regarding environmental, product liability, patent, contract, employee and other matters arising from the normal course of business. Including the litigation and environmental matters discussed below, after consultation with legal counsel, we do not believe that losses in excess of the amounts we have accrued would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, quarterly or annual operating results or cash flows. Class Action Litigation On February 22, 2019, a former employee, Mr. Ortiz, filed a purported class action lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior Court, California, against Nordson Asymtek, Inc. and Nordson Corporation, alleging various violations of the California Labor Code. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, an unspecified amount for unpaid wages, actual, consequential and incidental losses, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Following mediation in June 2020, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit, subject to the execution of a written settlement agreement and court approval. If the settlement agreement is approved, the class action lawsuit will be resolved. Management believes, based on currently available information, that the ultimate outcome of the proceeding described above will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Environmental We have voluntarily agreed with the City of New Richmond, Wisconsin and other Potentially Responsible Parties to share costs associated with the remediation of the City of New Richmond municipal landfill (the “Site”) and the construction of a potable water delivery system serving the impacted area down gradient of the Site. At January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, our accrual for the ongoing operation, maintenance and monitoring obligation at the Site was $360. The liability for environmental remediation represents management’s best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted costs related to known remediation obligations. The accuracy of our estimate of environmental liability is affected by several uncertainties such as additional requirements that may be identified in connection with remedial activities, the complexity and evolution of environmental laws and regulations, and the identification of presently unknown remediation requirements. Consequently, our liability could be greater than our current estimate. However, we do not expect that the costs associated with remediation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jan. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020.
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nordson Corporation and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates and joint ventures in which our ownership is 50% 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	Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	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. Revenue for undelivered items is deferred and included within Accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues deferred as of January 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material. However, for certain contracts related to the sale of customer-specific products within our Advanced Technology Solutions segment, revenue is recognized over time as we satisfy performance obligations because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The continuous transfer of control to the customer occurs as we enhance assets that are customer controlled and we are contractually entitled to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable margin. As control transfers over time for these products or services, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligations. The selection method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We have elected to use the input method – costs incurred for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of products or services to the customer based on incurring costs on the contract. Under this method, revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Contract assets recognized are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and contract liabilities are recorded in Accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were not material at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020. Revenue recognized over time is not material to our overall Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. As a practical expedient, we may exclude the assessment of whether goods or services are performance obligations, if they are immaterial in the context of the contract, and combine these with other performance obligations. While payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to transfer of control to the customer. We have also elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as they are incurred as the amortization period resulting from capitalizing the costs is one year or less. These costs are recorded within Selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term and are generally not material. Certain arrangements may include installation, installation supervision, training, and spare parts, which tend to be completed in a short period of time, at an insignificant cost, and utilizing skills not unique to us, and, therefore, are typically regarded as inconsequential or not material. We disclose disaggregated revenues by operating segment and geography in accordance with the revenue standard and on the same basis used internally by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating performance of operating segments and for allocating resources. Refer to our Operating Segments note.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year, while diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options computed using the treasury stock method, as well as restricted shares and deferred stock-based compensation. Options with an exercise price higher than the average market price are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2021 were 92. No options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended January 31, 2020.
New accounting guidance adopted	New accounting guidance adopted: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments. Prior guidance required the recognition of credit losses based on an incurred loss impairment methodology that reflected losses once the losses are probable. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 and are now applying a current expected credit loss model that requires recognizing an estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the financial instruments that are in the scope of the update, including trade receivables. The standard requires judgment and consideration of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, as well as the impact of any prepayments. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),” which is meant to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement), by providing guidance in determining when the arrangement includes a software license. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020. Hosted arrangements deemed to be in scope will follow the capitalization criteria for implementation costs as though they were internal-use computer software. There may be multiple elements besides the software license (such as: training, future upgrades, data conversion, and other elements) which require the allocation of the contract price to each of the elements; entities are to capitalize only those elements which meet the capitalization criteria. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the hosted arrangement including consideration for renewal or termination options. In addition, we reviewed our business processes and controls to support the recognition and disclosure as required under the new standard. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard which removed, modified, and added certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance removed disclosure requirements pertaining to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. In addition, the amendment clarified that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The guidance added disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period as well as the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted the new standard on November 1, 2020 with no material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. New accounting guidance issued and not yet adopted: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20),” a new standard which addresses defined benefit plans. The amendments modify the following disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans: the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, related party disclosure about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the (a) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and (b) benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. A disclosure requirement was added for the explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. Additionally, the standard clarifies disclosure requirements surrounding the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. It will be effective for us beginning November 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
