Nidec Announces Differences between Projected and Actual Financial Results for First-Half FY2017 and Raises Full-Year Financial Forecast and Year-end Dividend Projection for FY2017

KYOTO, Japan, Oct. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594 ); (OTC US:NJDCY) (the “Company”) today announced differences between its financial forecast for the six months ended September 30, 2017 (previously announced on July 26, 2017) and the actual financial results released today. In this connection, the Company revised its financial forecast and year-end dividend projection for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

The details are as follows:

1. Differences between Projected and Actual Financial Results for Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 (IFRS) From April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 (Millions of yen, except for per share amounts and percentages)

  For the six months ended September 30, 2017 (Reference) For the six months ended September 30, 2016
  Previous forecast (as of July 26, 2017)   Actual   Change (amount)   Change (percent)
Net sales 650,000   715,890   65,890   10.1 % 564,030
Operating profit 80,000   82,612   2,612   3.3 % 68,985
Profit before income taxes 77,000   76,630   -370   -0.5 % 66,274
Profit attributable to owners of the parent 60,000   60,074   74   0.1 % 50,094
Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent-Basic 202.65   202.90   -   -   168.89

Factors behind the differences between projected and actual six months results

The Company’s consolidated net sales and operating profit for the six months ended September 30, 2017 increased in all main four product groups from the same period of the previous year to exceed the previous forecast (announced on July 26, 2017). Although profit before income taxes fell short of the forecast due to valuation difference resulting from conversion of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities, profit attributable to owners of the parent surpassed the forecast due to the Company’s continued efforts for reducing tax expenses.

Notes: During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company finalized the provisional accounting treatment for business combination. As a result, figures for the six months ended September 30, 2016 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price.

Reasons for the revision for the financial forecast

The financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2017 exceeded the Company’s previous expectations. In view of the favorable profit growth in the first six months, the Company has decided to revise its previously announced financial performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. The provided financial forecast assumes the exchange rates of ¥105 against the U.S. dollar and ¥110 against the euro, the same exchange rates used for the preparation of the previously announced forecast.

Notes:

  1. The provided financial forecast assumes the exchange rates of ¥105 against the U.S. dollar and ¥110 against the euro. Yen exchange rates against Asian currencies have been set in relation to the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the respective Asian currencies.  
  2. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company partly completed the provisional accounting treatment for business combination. As a result, figures for the year ended March 31, 2017 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price.

<Reference> Dividend paid for the year ended March 31, 2017 - 40.00 - 45.00 85.00

Reasons for the revision for dividend projection 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 revision to the Company's consolidated financial forecast for the year ending March 31, 2018, the Company has revised upward its year-end dividend projection for the year ending March 31, 2018 from 45.00 yen per share to 50.00 yen per share, making the projected aggregate annual dividend 95.00 yen per share.
