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.
2024 Acquisition
On August 21, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Atrion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Atrion”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 28, 2024, with Alpha Medical Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson (“Merger Sub”), and Atrion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Atrion (the “Merger”), with Atrion surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson. Atrion is a leader in proprietary medical infusion fluid delivery and niche cardiovascular solutions and will
operate within our MFS segment. The all-cash acquisition of Atrion of $789,996, net of cash acquired, was funded using borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the 364-day term loan agreement with a group of banks for a delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “364-Day Term Loan Agreement”) and cash on hand. Based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, a preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $494,409 of goodwill and $129,600 of identifiable intangible assets. The identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of $40,100 of tradenames (amortized over 15 years), $24,900 of technology (amortized over 15 years), and $64,600 of customer relationships (amortized over 19 years). Goodwill associated with the acquisition was not tax deductible. As of January 31, 2025, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as we complete our assessment, principally related to income taxes. The financial results of the Atrion acquisition are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
