1. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects


(1) Analysis of Operating Results


1. Overview of Business Environment for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014


During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the global economy continued to maintain a cautious trend, including optimism being limited in the United States in light of the anticipated further tapering of the FRB’s quantitative monetary easing program, and growing concerns over worsening deflation in Europe that led to the introduction of negative interest rates. In addition, in China and other developing countries, concerns over the monetary and financial markets grew while domestic consumption weakened and foreign investments declined. In Japan, the economic recovery generally remained weak although the adverse effect on consumption of the consumption tax rate increase in April 2014 began to attenuate slowly.


In such business environment, we continued to pursue our “second growth phase” strategy with a goal to improve profitability while accelerating growth. As a result, our consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased 5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, achieving the largest quarterly net sales in our history for a second consecutive quarter. Operating income increased for a fifth consecutive quarter.  In addition, we recorded approximately ¥9.0 billion in operating income from the automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial product businesses, which are our two strategic focus business areas.


In light of the operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 that exceeded our previously announced forecast, we have decided to revise upward our previously announced financial performance forecast and interim and year-end dividend targets for the six months ending September 30, 2014 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, respectively, as described elsewhere in this report.

Consolidated net sales increased 13.7% to ¥240,188 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year, recording the largest three-month net sales in our history. Operating income increased 41.6% to ¥25,552 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. The ratio of operating income to net sales, or operating income ratio, for this three-month period was 10.6%. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar for this three-month period was ¥102.16 to the dollar, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar of ¥3.40, or approximately 3%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the Euro for this three-month period was ¥140.07 to the Euro, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the Euro of ¥11.12, or approximately 9%, compared to the same period of the prior year. The fluctuations of the foreign currency exchange rates had a positive effect on our net sales and operating income of approximately ¥7,400 million and ¥1,400 million, respectively, for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.


Income before income taxes increased 43.8% to ¥24,971 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. Net income attributable to Nidec Corporation increased 34.2% to ¥17,917 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net sales of small precision motors increased 2.4% to ¥89,889 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. The depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar had a positive effect on our sales of small precision motors of approximately ¥3,000 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.


Net sales of spindle motors for hard disk drives, or HDDs, decreased 1.6% to ¥45,840 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. The number of units sold of spindle motors for HDDs decreased approximately 3% compared to the same period of the prior year. Net sales of other small precision motors increased 6.9% to ¥44,049 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was mainly due to increases in sales of brushless DC motors, brushless DC fans and other small motors.


Operating income of small precision motors increased 25.4% to ¥15,062 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was mainly due to our efforts to improve the profitability of our small precision motor business, as well as the positive effect of the 3% depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, which depreciation resulted in an approximately ¥700 million increase in operating income of small precision motors for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.

Net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 31.1% to ¥110,244 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.


Net sales of appliance, commercial and industrial products for this three-month period increased 10.8% compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to larger sales of motors for air conditioning equipment, increases in orders for new products and orders from new customers, and the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.


Net sales of automotive products for this three-month period increased 74.3% compared to the same period of the prior year. This primarily reflected the contribution of Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation and Nidec Elesys Corporation, both of which became newly consolidated subsidiaries in the fiscal year ended March, 31, 2014, and the commencement of mass-production of new product models, 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 ¥3,500 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.


Operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 98.7% to ¥8,973 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year mainly due to the increase in sales, our efforts to improve profitability, and the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which fluctuations resulted in an approximately ¥500 million increase in operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.

Total assets increased approximately ¥4,900 million to ¥1,170,838 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥6,800 million in trade accounts receivable and an increase of approximately ¥4,000 million in inventories, partially offset by a decrease of approximately ¥5,800 million in property, plant and equipment.

Total liabilities increased approximately ¥2,000 million to ¥627,058 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Our short-term borrowings increased approximately ¥13,800 million to approximately ¥36,400 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. On the other hand, our current portion of long-term debt decreased approximately ¥800 million to approximately ¥28,400 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014, and our long-term debt decreased approximately ¥9,200 million to approximately ¥290,200 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014.


Our net interest-bearing debt increased approximately ¥1,700 million to approximately ¥105,200 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014.

Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity increased approximately ¥2,700 million to ¥520,758 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. The increase in Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity was mainly due to an increase in retained earnings of approximately ¥10,300 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014, which was partially offset by a decrease in positive foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ¥8,500 million as of June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity to total assets increased to 44.5% as of June 30, 2014 from 44.4% 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 three months ended June 30, 2014 (“this three-month period”) were a net cash inflow of ¥22,023 million. Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 (“the same period of the previous year”), our net cash inflows from operating activities for this three-month period increased approximately ¥4,000 million. The increase was due to an increase of approximately ¥4,900 million in consolidated net income and the impact of other adjustments. Our cash inflows from operating activities were partially offset by the negative impact of approximately ¥7,500 million of net changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consisted of an increase of approximately ¥100 million in operating assets and a decrease of approximately ¥7,600 million in operating liabilities.

Table of Contents


Cash flows from investing activities for this three-month period were a net cash outflow of ¥13,227 million. Compared to the same period of the previous year, our net cash outflow to investing activities for this three-month period increased approximately ¥4,400 million mainly due to a decrease in insurance proceeds related to property, plant and equipment damaged in flood to nil from approximately ¥2,300 million and an approximately ¥2,100 million increase in additional purchases of property, plant and equipment.


As a result, we had a positive free cash flow of ¥8,796 million for this three-month period compared to ¥9,268 million for the same period of the previous year.


Cash flows from financing activities for this three-month period were a net cash outflow of ¥3,196 million. Compared to the same period of previous year, our net cash outflow to financing activities for this three-month period increased approximately ¥4,900 million mainly due to the negative impact of approximately ¥4,300 million of net changes in short term borrowings.


As a result of the foregoing and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014 was ¥249,835 million, an increase of approximately ¥2,100 million from March 31, 2014.


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


As our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014, including our net sales and profit figures, exceeded our expectations, we have revised upward our previously announced business performance forecast for the six months ending September 30, 2013 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, generally reflecting the net sales and profit amounts recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2014 in excess of those previously forecasted, as discussed below.


In addition, considering these upward revisions of our business performance forecast, and taking into account our financial condition, profit level, dividend ratio and other factors collectively, we have also decided to revise upward our interim dividend target for the six months ending September 30, 2014 from the previously announced target of ¥27.5 per share to ¥30.0 per share and our year-end dividend target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 from the previous announced target of ¥27.5 per share to ¥30.0 per share, resulting in a revised annual dividend target of ¥60.0 per share.

(3) Changes in accounting method in this period


As of April 1, 2014, NIDEC adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) Topic 740 “Income Taxes” updated by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed by the taxing authority. In situations where a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This standard is provision for disclosure. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on NIDEC’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

(4) Notes to our consolidated financial statements


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 June 30, 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.
