Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Need determine if management describes existing working capability turned to larger second use, already converting with little in numbers. Examples? Nordson has technology/products. Need identify. On call: advanced technology segment: new products? Acquired Liquidyn, MatriX; tiered product offering in Asia incorporating X-ray technology onto automation platform. But these are acquisitions/new builds? Need see. Also "new technology on dispense side... smaller dots... wafer side" maybe existing? Also "Freedom" and "Liberty" adhesives? Need parse. Question asks: "SOMETHING THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS AND ALREADY OPERATES FOR ITS EXISTING BUSINESS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE USEFUL FOR A SECOND, MUCH LARGER PURPOSE — and that the company has recently BEGUN turning that second use into real business, without having had to build a new company to do it?" Need answer YES if management conveys all three. Look for examples: - Mike Hilton: "we came out with some new technology on the dispense side that will allow us to put more dot smaller size, which widens the application approach to get to the wafer side of things. We talked a little bit about that last quarter, and that’s continued. We’re seeing those new products get traction. We’re also seeing some new applications in the mobile side which one example is more waterproofing or water resistant type of applications..." This is new technology developed, maybe existing? It's a new product, not necessarily second use of existing capability? It is for new applications. But "existing, working capability - NOT a new build"? They "came out with some new technology" - not existing? Hmm. - Another: "we did a nice job with tiering. You know, we talked about an acquisition we made about a year and a half ago in Europe that would allow us to get a tiered product that we then incorporated our technology on, and we’re getting nice traction in that tiered product offering on the dispense side. Then we also had an acquisition where we’re getting really good traction in Asia by incorporating our X-ray technology onto an automation platform." This is using existing technology (X-ray) onto acquisition platform, but acquisitions are new build? They bought platform, incorporated technology.
