Nidec Revises Upward Consolidated Fiscal First-Half and Year-End Financial Forecasts and Dividend Projections
for the Year Ending March 31, 2015
Nidec Corporation (NYSE:NJ) (the "Company") today announced an upward revision to its U.S. GAAP-based consolidated fiscal first-half and year-end financial forecasts and dividend projections for the year ending March 31, 2015, originally announced on April 22, 2014.

* The Company implemented a two-for-one stock split of its common stock effective April 1, 2014. The previously reported net
income attributable to Nidec Corporation per share-basic has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Reasons for the revision for the financial forecasts
Net sales and resulting profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 exceeded the Companys expectations at the beginning of the period. In view of the favorable quarterly results, the Company has decided to revise upward its previously announced financial performance forecasts for six months ending September 30, 2014 and the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 largely to the extent that the three-month results exceeded its original expectations.
Notes:
The exchange rates used for the preparation of the foregoing forecasts are US$1 = JPY100 and
Euro1 = JPY135. The exchange rates between the relevant Asian currencies and the Japanese yen used
for the preparation of the foregoing forecasts were determined assuming these exchange rates.

*The Company implemented a two-for-one stock split on its common stock as of March 31, 2014. Dividends paid for the year
ended March 31, 2014 represent the actual payment amounts on a pre-split basis.
Reasons for the revision for dividend projections
The Company upholds shareholder-oriented management and places importance on regular dividend
payments, seeking to increase its dividend payout to around 30% of the consolidated net income. Based
on the stated upward revision to the Company's consolidated financial forecasts for the year ending
March 31, 2015, the Company has revised upward both its interim and year-end dividend projections
for the year ending March 31, 2015 from 27.50 yen per share to 30.00 yen per share, making the
projected aggregate annual dividend 60.00 yen per share.
