1. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
(1) Analysis of Operating Results
1. Overview of Business Environment for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2014
During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the global economy remained unstable and uncertain with varying trends in different regions. In the United States, stock prices rose to all-time high levels reflecting the improved economic outlook and expectations of companies’ improved future performance. In China and other emerging countries, slowing economic trends started to gradually stabilize. In Japan, while the stock market remained strong, concerns over the adverse effects of higher consumption tax rates and depreciating yen contributed to the weakening expectations for the effectiveness of the Japanese government’s economic growth program. In Europe, concerns over further deflation increased while the economy remained stagnant. In addition, the recent events in Ukraine, the Middle East and Hong Kong began to be recognized as geopolitical risks. In October 2014, stock prices in the world’s major stock markets began to fluctuate in reaction to the recent developments in, and the outlook for, the macro economy.
In such business environment, we continued to pursue our “second growth phase” strategy with the goal to improve profitability while accelerating growth. As a result, our consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, achieving the largest quarterly net sales in our history for the third consecutive quarter. Our consolidated operating income also increased for the sixth consecutive quarter. In addition, we achieved the largest first half-year consolidated net sales, income before income taxes and net income for the six months ended September 30, 2014, compared to past first half-year periods.
In light of the current outlook for the macro economy for the six months ending March 31, 2015, we have decided to keep unchanged our previously announced business performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

To enable comparisons between periods, previously reported amounts have been retroactively reclassified.
Net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 33.1% to ¥218,378 million for this six-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. 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 ¥7,300 million for this six-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net sales of appliance, commercial and industrial products for this six-month period increased 14.0% 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 six-month period increased 72.0% 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 second half of 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.
Operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 84.4% to ¥17,686 million for this six-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 ¥700 million increase in operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products for this six-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.

Total assets increased approximately ¥83,000 million to ¥1,248,937 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥29,500 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately ¥22,000 million in inventories and an increase of approximately ¥15,100 million in trade accounts receivable.
Total liabilities increased approximately ¥19,600 million to ¥644,608 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Our short-term borrowings increased approximately ¥24,300 million to approximately ¥46,900 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Our current portion of long-term debt increased approximately ¥88,500 million to approximately ¥117,800 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014, while our long-term debt decreased approximately ¥105,800 million to approximately ¥193,700 million between the same dates. The ¥88,500 million increase in our current portion of long-term debt and the ¥105,800 million decrease in our long-term debt were mainly attributable to the reclassification of approximately ¥96,000 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the euro yen convertible bonds with stock acquisition rights due 2015 from long-term liability to current liability, as the convertible bonds will become redeemable within one year.

Our net interest-bearing debt decreased approximately ¥22,400 million to approximately ¥81,100 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Our debt ratio decreased to 28.7% as of September 30, 2014 from 30.1% as of March 31, 2014. Our debt to equity ratio was 0.62 as of September 30, 2014 compared to 0.68 as of March 31, 2014. Our net debt to equity ratio was 0.14 as of September 30, 2014 compared to 0.20 as of March 31, 2014.
Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity increased approximately ¥61,700 million to ¥579,782 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. The increase in Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity was mainly due to an increase in positive foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ¥31,000 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014 and an increase in retained earnings of approximately ¥29,600 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity to total assets increased to 46.4% as of September 30, 2014 from 44.4% as of March 31, 2014.
Overview of Cash Flow-

Net cash provided by operating activities | ¥41,552 | ¥45,526 | ¥(3,974) |

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 six months ended September 30, 2014 (“this six-month period”) were a net cash inflow of ¥41,552 million. Compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013 (“the same period of the previous year”), our net cash inflows from operating activities for this six-month period decreased approximately ¥4,000 million. The decrease was mainly due to the negative impact of approximately ¥22,600 million of net changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consisted of an increase of approximately ¥18,400 million in operating assets and a decrease of approximately ¥4,200 million in operating liabilities. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately ¥10,600 million in consolidated net income as well as the impact of other adjustments.
16
Cash flows from investing activities for this six-month period were a net cash outflow of ¥23,131 million. For this six-month period compared to the same period of the previous year, our net cash outflow to investing activities increased approximately ¥6,000 million mainly due to an approximately ¥3,900 million increase in additional purchases of property, plant and equipment and a decrease in insurance proceeds related to property, plant and equipment damaged in flood to nil from approximately ¥2,600 million.
As a result, we had a positive free cash flow of ¥18,421 million for this six-month period compared to ¥28,386 million for the same period of the previous year.
Cash flows from financing activities for this six-month period were a net cash outflow of ¥3,487 million. Compared to the same period of the previous year, our net cash outflow to financing activities for this six-month period decreased approximately ¥8,800 million mainly due to the impact of approximately ¥6,100 million of net increase 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 September 30, 2014 was ¥277,278 million, an increase of approximately ¥29,500 million from March 31, 2014.
(3) Business Performance Forecast for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2015
The global economy continues to lack upward momentum while stock prices in the world’s major stock markets began to fluctuate in October 2014 reflecting the increasingly cautionary sentiment in reaction to the recent developments in the global economy, and concerns remain strong over the weak economic outlook for regions other than the United States and geopolitical and other risks, despite signs of improvement in the U.S. economy.
In light of the current outlook for the macro economy for the six months ending March 31, 2015, we have decided to keep unchanged our previously announced business performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

Forecast of consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015
Net sales | ¥960,000 million | (Up 9.7% from the previous fiscal year) |
Operating income | ¥105,000 million | (Up 23.4% from the previous fiscal year) |
Income before income taxes | ¥103,000 million | (Up 21.7% from the previous fiscal year) |
Net income attributable to Nidec Corporation | ¥69,000 million | (Up 22.3% from the previous fiscal year) |
Note:
The exchange rates assumed for the preparation of the foregoing forecast are US$1 = ¥100 and €1 = ¥135. The exchange rates between the relevant Asian currencies and the Japanese yen used for the preparation of the foregoing forecast were determined assuming these exchange rates.
2. Others
(1) Changes in significant subsidiaries during this period
None.
(2) Adoption of simplified accounting methods and accounting methods used specifically for quarterly consolidated financial statements
(Accounting method relating to corporate income taxes)
Corporate income taxes are recognized for the quarterly reporting period based on a worldwide estimated annual effective tax rate.
(3) Changes in accounting method in this period
As of April 1, 2014, NIDEC adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 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.
