1. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects


(1) Analysis of Operating Results


1. Overview of Business Environment for the year Ended March 31, 2014

The global economic conditions during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 continued to be weak as the extended economic stagnation in Europe despite the improvements with respect to the debt crisis and as China and other newly emerging countries experienced declining exports and suffered the negative impact of excessive investments made in prior periods. On the other hand, the U.S. monetary policy slowly changed towards easing its previous quantitative easing policy. The Japanese economy, which experienced a period-end increase in demand prior to the consumption tax increase, also showed stable trends as a whole.

In this business environment, in an effort to expand our “second growth phase” strategy, we continued to transform and expand our business portfolio. As a result, our consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 increased by 23% compared to the previous fiscal year, marking the highest on record. In terms of profit margins, as a result of the increase in net sales and the measures that we implemented to streamline our business structure in the previous fiscal year, operating income exceeded our forecast previously announced at the beginning of the current fiscal year for four quarters in a row. Furthermore, operating income of the automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial product category, which is one of our strategically important product categories, contributed to a significant enhancement of our profit structure. As a result, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a larger net income before tax and net income attributable to the shareholders of Nidec Corporation than any prior period in our history.

Consolidated net sales increased 23.4% to ¥875,109 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, recording the largest annual net sales in our history. Operating income increased 383.4% to ¥85,068 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, which was mainly due to a positive effect of business streamlining and the sales increase. The ratio of operating income to net sales, or operating income ratio, for this fiscal year was 9.7%. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar for this fiscal year was ¥100.24 to the U.S. dollar, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar of ¥17.14, or approximately 21%, compared to the previous fiscal year. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the Euro for this fiscal year was ¥134.37 to the Euro, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the Euro of ¥27.23, or approximately 25%, compared to the previous fiscal year. The fluctuations of the foreign currency exchange rates had a positive effect on our net sales of approximately ¥118,200 million and our operating income of approximately ¥15,600 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

The depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar had a positive effect on our net sales of small precision motors of approximately ¥54,000 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.


Net sales of spindle motors for hard disk drives, or HDDs, for this fiscal year increased 12.1% to ¥185,506 million, compared to the previous fiscal year, although the number of units sold of spindle motors for HDDs decreased approximately 3% compared to the previous fiscal year. Net sales of other small precision motors for this fiscal year increased 14.7% to ¥177,007 million, compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to increases in sales of brushless DC fans, brushless DC motors and other small motors.


Operating income of small precision motors increased 150.4% to ¥56,703 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to our efforts to improve the profitability of small precision motors category and because we recorded costs attributable to business streamlining in the previous fiscal year, and the positive effect of the 21% depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, resulting in an approximately ¥13,000 million in operating income of small precision motors for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

Net sales of automotive products for this fiscal year increased 32.9% compared to the previous fiscal year.  This was primarily due to the contribution of Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation which was newly consolidated in January 2014 and the commencement of mass-production of new product models of motors for electric power steering and other products and the commencement of mass-production of new product models for new customers, as well as the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the Euro had a positive effect on net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products of approximately ¥48,900 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.


Operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 736.8% to ¥22,409 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year mainly due to the increase in sales, the impact of the newly consolidated subsidiaries and the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Income before income taxes and net income attributable to Nidec Corporation decreased 8.1% to ¥22,139 million and 16.3% to ¥13,351 million, respectively, for this 4Q compared to this 3Q due to losses attributable to fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates in this 4Q.


Operating Results by Product Category for This 4Q Compared to This 3Q


For the calculation of a unit price on a U.S. dollar basis for a quarterly reporting period, each amount used for the calculation has been obtained by subtracting from the relevant amount for the cumulative interim period up to and including the quarter since the beginning of the fiscal year the relevant amount for the cumulative interim period up to and including the quarter immediately preceding the quarter since the beginning of the fiscal year.  The unit price on a U.S. dollar basis has been obtained by first dividing the amount of net sales on a Japanese yen basis by the number of units sold for the relevant quarter, and then applying the average exchange rate for the relevant quarter to the resulting quotient.  Accordingly, the unit price on a U.S. dollar basis so obtained may differ from the contracted unit price on a U.S. dollar basis particularly in the event of rapid and significant fluctuations in the relevant exchange rate.

*4: “Interest-bearing debt” divided by “Nidec Corporation shareholders' equity”

Total assets increased approximately ¥160,500 million to ¥1,165,918 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. This increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥54,300 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately ¥35,500 million in trade accounts receivable, an increase of approximately ¥24,100 million in inventories, an increase of approximately ¥22,200 million in goodwill, and an increase of approximately ¥20,900 million in property, plant and equipment.


Total liabilities increased approximately ¥73,400 million to ¥625,013 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. Our long-term debt increased approximately ¥153,100 million to approximately ¥299,400 million as of March 31, 2014 compared March 31, 2013. On the other hand, our short-term borrowings decreased approximately ¥10,200 million to approximately ¥22,600 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013, and our current portion of long-term debt decreased approximately ¥104,400 million to approximately ¥29,200 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013.


The increase in our long-term debt was mainly due to the issuance of ¥50,000 million aggregate principal amount of domestic unsecured bonds, as well as the reclassification from current liability to long-term liability of approximately ¥96,000 million aggregate principal amount of the euro yen convertible bonds with stock acquisition rights due 2015 because the unexercised early redemption right expired during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The current portion of long-term debt decreased approximately ¥104,400 million mainly due to the reclassification of the convertible bonds. Prior to the expiration of the early redemption right on September 20, 2013, holders of ¥4,250 million aggregate principal amount of such convertible bonds exercised their early redemption right.


Our net interest-bearing debt decreased approximately ¥15,800 million to approximately ¥103,500 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. Our debt ratio decreased to 30.1% as of March 31, 2014 from 31.1% as of March 31, 2013. Our debt to equity ratio was 0.68 as of March 31, 2014 compared to 0.75 as of March 31, 2013. Our net debt to equity ratio was 0.20 as of March 31, 2014 compared to 0.29 as of March 31, 2013.

Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity increased approximately ¥102,400 million to ¥518,101 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. The increase in Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity was mainly due to an increase in retained earnings of approximately ¥45,000 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013, an increase in positive foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ¥41,900 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013, and a net decrease in treasury stock of approximately ¥17,400 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. The decrease in treasury stock was due to the allocation of treasury shares (representing 2.58% of our issued shares) to Nidec Copal shareholders and Nidec Tosok shareholders in connection with the share exchange transactions to make Nidec Copal and Nidec Tosok wholly owned subsidiaries, which were partially offset by repurchases of shares (representing 0.36% of our issued shares) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Nidec Corporation shareholders' equity to total assets increased to 44.4% as of March 31, 2014 from 41.3% as of March 31, 2013.


In connection with our acquisition of Mitsubishi Materials C.M.I. Corporation and Honda Elesys Co., Ltd. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we recorded approximately ¥45,000 million in assets in the aggregate, including approximately ¥11,800 million in goodwill, and approximately ¥14,500 million in liabilities in the aggregate, including approximately ¥7,800 million in trade notes and accounts payable. We are currently evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of Mitsubishi Materials C.M.I. Corporation and Honda Elesys Co., Ltd. These assets and liabilities have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet based on preliminary management estimation as of March 31, 2014.

Note:

*1: To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of cash flows to analyze cash flows generated from our operations. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Our free cash flow is the sum of “net cash flow from operating activities” and “net cash flow from investing activities.”


Cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 ("this fiscal year") were a net cash inflow of ¥87,219 million. Compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 ("the prior fiscal year"), our cash inflow from operating activities for this fiscal year decreased approximately ¥23,100 million. This decrease was mainly due to the negative impact of approximately ¥70,800 million of net changes in operating assets and liabilities which was consist of an increase of approximately ¥97,500 million in operating assets and an increase of approximately ¥26,700 million in operating liabilities. On the other hand, our consolidated net income increased approximately ¥52,100 million.


Cash flows from investing activities for this fiscal year were a net cash outflow of ¥63,178 million. Compared to the prior fiscal year, our net cash outflow from investing activities for this fiscal year decreased approximately ¥70,700 million mainly due to a decrease in acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, of approximately ¥56,500 million and a decrease in additional purchases of property, plant and equipment of approximately ¥21,100 million.

As a result, we had a positive free cash flow of ¥24,041 million for this fiscal year compared to a negative free cash flow of ¥23,568 million for the prior fiscal year.


Cash flows from financing activities for this fiscal year were a net cash inflow of ¥13,471 million. Compared to the prior fiscal year, our net cash inflow from financing activities for this fiscal year decreased approximately ¥47,600 million. For this fiscal year, we had a decrease in proceeds from issuance of corporate bonds of ¥50,000 million and a decrease in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of approximately ¥41,300 million and an increase in repayments of long-term debt of approximately ¥21,900 million for this fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year, which were partially offset by the positive impact of approximately ¥40,400 million of net changes in short term borrowings and a decrease in repurchases of treasury stock of approximately ¥28,400 million.


As a result of the foregoing and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 was ¥247,740 million, an increase of approximately ¥54,300 million from March 31, 2013.

(3) Business Forecasts for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2015


Based on the recent global economic trends that we have identified, we expect that the overall recovery may require more time as the economies in China and other newly emerging countries continue to be sluggish and disparities are seen in demand trends among industry sectors although the economies of advanced countries are expected to recover with the United States being one of the main contributors of such recovery.

In this business environment, we aim to improve our profitability through efforts to expand and enhance our business portfolio so as to achieve the goals set forth in our new medium-term business strategy.

Set forth below are our business performance forecasts prepared in light of and subject to our current assumptions and uncertainties. See the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this report.

(Up 8.6% from the previous fiscal year)

Operating income

(4) Dividend Policy

We uphold shareholder-oriented management and pursue high growth, high profitability and high share value to build long-term, sustainable growth in shareholder value. We seek to lay out our vision for the future on a regular and timely basis to keep stakeholders informed on how we intend to respond to changing opportunities and challenges as we continue to strive to succeed in our endeavors. Placing importance on regular dividend payments, we seek to increase our dividend payout to around 30% of our consolidated net income and use reserves to reinforce our management structure, expand our business horizons, and eventually to improve our profitability and shareholder value.


We have determined the year-end dividend to be ¥55.0 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. As a result, together with the interim dividend of ¥45.0 per share, the full-year dividend will be ¥100.0 per share. The dividend payout ratio, which is obtained by dividing dividend declared for the year by net income attributable to Nidec Corporation, for this fiscal year is approximately 24.1%.


Our current dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2015 is a full-year dividend of ¥55.0 per share (an interim dividend of ¥27.5 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥27.5 per share.) Based on this forecast, the dividend payout ratio for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 that we are aiming to achieve is approximately 24.5%.

We implemented a two-for-one stock split on our common stock as of March 31, 2014. Without the effect of this stock split, our dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2015 would have been ¥110 per share, including an interim dividend of ¥55 per share.

3. Management Policies


(1) Basic management policies


We aim to become the world’s No. 1 comprehensive motor manufacturer and maximize shareholder value and meet the expectations of shareholders by achieving higher growth, profit and stock prices, over the long-term.  We seek to uphold the following three management goals and principles:


1.

Provide employment opportunities created from stable business growth,

2.

Supply universally desired, indispensable products for the common good, and

3.

Pursue the No. 1 position in all that we undertake.


(2) Management targets


We have launched a new medium-term strategic target, pursuant to which we aim to achieve a target sales level of ¥1.2 trillion in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. With respect to targets relating to profitability, we aim to achieve an operating income ratio of 15% and an ROE (return on equity) of 15%.


(3) The Nidec Group’s mid- to long-term business strategies


To achieve the targets set forth in our new medium-term strategic target, the Nidec Group, acting based on “its organic growth strategy” and “M&A strategy,” seeks to enhance and expand our business portfolio and achieve more uniformity among the group companies.


We plan to shift as promptly as possible from our current business portfolio to an improved and expanded business portfolio consisting of four core business lines—“small precision motors,” “appliance, commercial and industrial motor products,” “automotive products” and “other products.”  As part of this plan, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we launched a business enhancement system through which we aim to promote a market-oriented approach for each area of operation particularly in terms of formulating new strategic ideas and operational implementation. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we established a Nidec Research and Development Center, Japan, and global business promotion division. In addition, during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, with the establishment of a global purchasing management division, we intend to endeavor to become a company that will continue to grow 100 years from now by seeking to achieve synergies among the group companies in the global market and accelerate growth through the enhancement and expansion of our business portfolio.


1. Global organic growth strategy


Taking advantage of the recent global trend favoring environmentally-friendly regulatory policies applicable to motors, we aim to create new products using the motor and related technologies that we have developed over the years and cultivate new markets, while establishing a global manufacturing, sales, and research and development network, with a focus on newly emerging markets.

1) We seek to stimulate demand for new small precision motor products to make up for the decreasing demand for such products due to diversifying mobile devices and declining sales of notebook PCs.  We aim to further enhance the technological advantages of high-capacity HDDs for data storage and develop new and innovative technologies that can meet the market’s demand for larger HDD capacity and new HDD application, smaller and thinner HDD products, and multiple applications.  In addition, we aim to further strengthen the competitiveness of our next-generation products by promoting expanded applications of fan motor (“UFF”) and other products using the fluid dynamic bearing (“FDB”) technology. We will also seek to respond to the growing importance of vibrating motors as smart phone usage increases, to expand our market share for global actuators and to expand our customer base for our home appliance actuators.


2) We seek to accelerate the growth of our automotive product business as well as our home appliance, industrial and industrial product businesses, which are expected to become one of our major products, in response to market needs.  We aim to expand our automotive motor business by establishing a three-market—North America, Europe and Asia—framework, shifting from a product line-up consisting solely of motor products to a product line-up consisting of high value-added products through system modularization, utilizing a technological capabilities of Nidec Elesys Corporation, the former Honda Elesys Co., Ltd., which became a newly consolidated subsidiary in the fiscal year ended March, 31, 2014., and proactively entering the safety and security related product sectors and newly emerging markets.


With respect to the home appliance, commercial and industrial products, we seek to increase sales and improve our profitability by quickly achieving synergies between our existing operations and the operations of the three overseas companies we acquired in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013—namely, Nidec ASI S.p.A., an Italian industrial motor manufacturer, Nidec Avtron Automation Corporation, a U.S. company, and Nidec Kinetek Corporation, a U.S. company—and by promptly becoming able to cross-sell our and the newly acquired companies’ products.


2. M&A strategy


We plan to continue to actively seek M&A opportunities as a critical part of our growth strategy as we aim to achieve growth quickly and efficiently.  In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we successfully completed the acquisitions of six companies, taking advantage, among other things, of the appreciating Japanese yen during the first half of the fiscal year.  Nidec Corporation acquired Nidec Elesys Corporation, the former Honda Elesys Co., Ltd., while Nidec Sankyo, a subsidiary of Nidec Corporation, acquired Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation, the former Mitsubishi Materials C.M.I. Corporation.


We intend to actively seek M&A opportunities with articulated purposes, which include strengthening our market position in each of our business areas, including the automotive motor product business, which we expect to become a core business line within our business portfolio, supplementing our intra-group research and development operations, and acquiring know-how relating to low cost production.

(4) The Nidec Group’s challenges

1. Continue to enhance the corporate governance system


For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, we expect to have a total of two outside corporate auditors and three outside directors.  To date, outside corporate auditors and directors have contributed to vigorous discussions in meetings of our board of directors.  We aim to further enhance our corporate governance system through these measures which are designed to enable our board of directors to better perform and fulfill its obligations and other efforts.


2. Enhance globalization efforts


We consider it critical and seek to accelerate our efforts to globalize our management system and strengthen our global manufacturing, sales and product development operations in order to successfully compete in the increasingly competitive global market.


1) Globalize our management system


Rapid market globalization and intensifying competition require us to globalize our management system to enable us to promptly make decisions. We seek to enhance our management system so as to successfully compete in such market environment by hiring and training decision-makers capable of managing our operations flexibly from such global perspective, including hiring decision-makers locally for our foreign operations.


2) Strengthen our global sales network


As a critical part of our new medium-term strategic goal, we intend to pursue a global sales strategy where we aim to gain the largest market share in each of our business areas under the leadership of global business promotion division while making a group-wide effort to expand and enhance our global sales network.


3) Strengthen our global manufacturing operations


As part of our global manufacturing strategy, in an effort to minimize the risk of concentration of our manufacturing operations in a particular country or region, we seek to allocate our resources appropriately in various locations and enhance our purchasing power centering on a global purchasing management division. While maintaining the emphasis on our manufacturing philosophy that puts the highest priority on product quality, we endeavor to improve our manufacturing efficiency to the maximum extent possible and create a manufacturing network where the manufacturing sites are located in the most suitable place so as to improve our profitability.


4) Strengthen our global R&D capabilities


With respect to our global research and development efforts, we established Nidec Research and Development Center, Japan in January 2014 designed to become a core component technology development facility for our global R&D strategy. Through R&D activities at this facility, we intend to take advantage of the recent global trend favoring environmentally-friendly regulatory policies applicable to motors.  We seek to meet market demand for shorter development cycles for home appliance, commercial and industrial use motors and automotive motor products, which are expected to drive our future growth, by achieving synergies with the R&D operations of Nidec Motor Corporation in the United States and the United Kingdom.  We also intend to implement group-wide measures to enhance our R&D capabilities so as to be better able to offer new products and technologies.  For example, due to its energy efficiency and durability, Nidec Motor’s switched reluctance motor technology is expected to be applied to a variety of products since this technology requires no permanent magnet materials.  As part of our global strategy to increase local manufacturing, where manufacturing is done in areas in close proximity to the relevant market (customers), we also seek to localize our R&D operations.  For example, we plan to expand and improve our R&D facilities in Dalian, Dongguan and other locations in China.

5) Enhance our global management infrastructure


As a global company, we continue to enhance our group-wide management system, accounting and financial reporting systems and procedures, financial performance, and information disclosure systems and procedures that meet global standards.  For example, we continue to pursue our mid-term information technology improvement plan, under which we aim to create an IT system that is standardized at a level sufficient to enable us to globally grow and, at the same time, is sufficiently flexible to adapt to changes.


We previously maintained a “federate-style” management system, under which each group company we acquired maintains a high degree of independence in managing its business operations.  Going forward, we aim to adapt to the rapidly changing business environments and the intensifying global competition by making efforts to accelerate the group’s companies’ horizontal cooperation in terms of personnel, sales and marketing, manufacturing, and research and developments, and structure the cross-business and cross-regional management system by strengthen the collaboration among divisions with common operations, including legal, tax and intellectual property, through modifications to our previously maintained management system designed to enhance the uniformity among our group companies.


Our Operational Management and Audit Department, the department responsible for the group-wide internal controls, seeks to establish a global audit system in an effort to strengthen the supervision in the area of prevention of improper conduct as the global management system is further enhanced, and further enhance our internal control system based on the experience and know-how gained through the past audits of our financial statements and the implementation of measures to comply with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  We also seek to improve our disclosure system and policy through enhanced cooperation between a committee responsible for information disclosure and other relevant specialized departments.


Such specialized departments and offices, including the Compliance Office, the Risk Management Office, and the CSR (corporate social responsibility) Promotion Office, also collaborate with one another and other departments as appropriate.  We seek to find ways to create jobs and otherwise contribute to society based on our basic management policy as a good corporate citizen.

6. Critical Accounting Policies

The Company and its subsidiaries in Japan maintain their records and prepare their accounts and records in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries in conformity with those of their countries of domicile. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).


《Changes Relating to the Basis for Preparing Our Consolidated Financial Statements》


As of April 1, 2013, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” updated by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02 “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 allows an entity the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and performing the quantitative impairment test. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the quantitative impairment test would be required. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Table of Contents


As of April 1, 2013, we adopted FASB ASC 220 “Comprehensive income.” updated by ASU No. 2013-02

“Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2013-02 requires an

entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The standard is a provision for disclosure. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.



Business Combinations

Pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” previous year’s consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect our valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of SCD Co., Ltd. and Nidec Kaiyu Auto Electric (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we completed our valuation of such assets and liabilities of SCD Co., Ltd. and Nidec Kaiyu Auto Electric (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.

In addition, we are currently evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation (formerly Mitsubishi Materials C.M.I. Corporation) and Nidec Elesys Corporation (formerly Honda Elesys Co., Ltd.). These assets and liabilities have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet based on preliminary management estimation as of March 31, 2014.

Notes:

1. Some items colored in the above table are omitted, because we also omit them in the report in Japanese language.

2. Pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” previous period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted.

3. We implemented a two-for-one stock split on our common stock effective April 1, 2014. Therefore, we adjusted net income attributable to Nidec Corporation per share-basic, net income attributable to Nidec Corporation per share-diluted and Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity per share accordingly to reflect the effect of the stock split. On the other hand, we described actual amount of Dividends before the stock split.
