1. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
(1) Analysis of Operating Results
1. Overview of Business Environment for Three Months Ended June 30, 2015
Regarding the global economy during the three months ended June 30, 2015, the United States continued its steady economic growth while contemplating the timing of an increase in interest rates, and Japan continued on its mild recovery trend with an increase in corporate earnings against the backdrop of the decline in crude oil prices and depreciation of the yen. On the other hand, concerns regarding an economic slowdown grew with respect to China due to its sluggish real estate markets and significant stock market declines, and while some signs of an economic recovery were observed in Europe, uncertainty lingered over the Greek debt problem. As a result, the global economy as a whole showed only a mild recovery.
Under such a business environment, we began to pursue our targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 of consolidated net sales of ¥2 trillion and an operating income ratio of 15% based on our mid-term strategic goal “Vision 2020,” and we achieved in the three months ended June 30, 2015 the highest net sales, operating income, income before income taxes and net income of any quarter in our history. In addition, we achieved the highest quarterly net income since the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. We also achieved increases in net sales for the sixth consecutive quarter and an increase in operating income for the ninth consecutive quarter.

Net income attributable to Nidec Corporation | 24,196 | 17,573 | 6,623 | 37.7% |
Note: Pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” previous period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted.
Consolidated net sales increased 18.7% to ¥285,041 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year, recording the highest three-month net sales in our history. Operating income increased 24.1% to ¥31,061 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year, recording the highest three-month operating income in our history. In all of our five product categories, operating income increased compared to the same period of the prior year. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar for this three-month period was ¥121.36 to the U.S. dollar, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar of approximately 19% 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 ¥134.16 to the Euro, which reflected an appreciation of the Japanese yen against the Euro of approximately 4% 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 of approximately ¥30,500 million and our operating income of approximately ¥3,500 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.
Income before income taxes increased 33.7% to ¥32,705 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year, and net income attributable to Nidec Corporation increased 37.7% to ¥24,196 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year, recording the highest income before income taxes and net income attributable to Nidec Corporation in our history.

Operating income of small precision motors | 17,688 | 15,062 | 2,626 | 17.4% | |
Operating income ratio | 17.0% | 16.8% | - | - | |
Net sales of small precision motors increased 15.8% to ¥104,058 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. Most of the decrease in sales for spindle motors for hard disk drives, or HDDs, resulting from the decrease in the number of units sold, excluding the effect of the foreign currency fluctuation, was offset by the increase in sales of other small precision motors. 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 ¥14,600 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net sales of spindle motors for HDDs for this three-month period increased 8.9% to ¥49,940 million compared to the same period of the prior year, although the number of units sold of spindle motors for HDDs decreased approximately 12% compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net sales of other small precision motors for this three-month period increased 22.9% to ¥54,118 million 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 17.4% to ¥17,688 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 operating income of small precision motors of approximately ¥3,500 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year.

Note: Starting from the three months ended December 31, 2014, basic research and development expenses that were previously included in “Automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products” category have been reclassified to “Eliminations/ Corporate” product category. As a result, previous period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted.
Net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 24.6% to ¥137,317 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year. In the aggregate, the depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the Euro had a positive effect on net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products of approximately ¥12,000 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 12.5% compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the increase in sales through our “Three-new Strategy” (new products, new markets and new clients) and the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Net sales of automotive products for this three-month period increased 40.9% compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the contribution of Nidec GPM GmbH which was newly consolidated in February 2015 and the positive effect of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to the increase in sales for products relating to advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, at Nidec Elesys Corporation.
Operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 29.1% to ¥11,080 million for this three-month period compared to the same period of the prior year mainly due to the increase in sales and the reduction of cost of products sold.

This increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥17,400 million in trade accounts receivable, an increase of approximately ¥15,100 million in property, plant and equipment and an increase of approximately ¥8,400 million in inventories.
Total liabilities increased approximately ¥17,000 million to ¥618,865 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to an increase of interest-bearing debt of approximately ¥7,600 million. Specifically, our short-term borrowings increased approximately ¥25,900 million to approximately ¥78,300 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015, our current portion of long-term debt decreased approximately ¥17,300 million to approximately ¥28,200 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015, and our long-term debt decreased approximately ¥900 million to approximately ¥183,700 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015.
As a result, our net interest-bearing debt increased approximately ¥5,700 million to approximately ¥18,300 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015. Our debt ratio decreased to 20.7% as of June 30, 2015 from 20.8% as of March 31, 2015. Our D/E ratio was 0.37 as of June 30, 2015 compared to 0.38 as of March 31, 2015. Our net D/E ratio was unchanged from March 31, 2015 at 0.02 as of June 30, 2015.
Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity increased approximately ¥31,000 million to ¥776,209 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015. Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity to total assets increased to 55.3% as of June 30, 2015 from 55.0% as of March 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to an increase in retained earnings of approximately ¥12,400 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015 and an increase in positive foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ¥11,400 million as of June 30, 2015 compared to March 31, 2015.
Overview of Cash Flow-
(Yen in millions) | ||||
For the three months ended June 30 | Increase or decrease | |||
2015 | 2014 | |||
Net cash provided by operating activities | ¥21,164 | ¥22,023 | ¥(859) | |
Net cash used in investing activities | (23,940) | (13,227) | (10,713) | |
Free cash flow *1 | (2,776) | 8,796 | (11,572) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | ¥700 | ¥(3,196) | ¥3,896 | |
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, 2015 (“this three-month period”) were a net cash inflow of ¥21,164 million. Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 (“the same period of the previous year”), our cash inflow from operating activities for this three-month period decreased approximately ¥900 million. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease of approximately ¥10,400 million of net changes in operating assets and liabilities which consisted of an increase of approximately ¥5,300 million in operating assets and a decrease of approximately ¥5,100 million in operating liabilities. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately ¥6,300 million in our consolidated net income.
Cash flows from investing activities for this three-month period were a net cash outflow of ¥23,940 million. Compared to the same period of the previous year, our net cash outflow from investing activities for this three-month period increased approximately ¥10,700 million mainly due to an increase in additional purchases of property, plant and equipment of approximately ¥7,900 million and an increase in acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, of approximately ¥2,200 million.
As a result, we had a negative free cash flow of ¥2,776 million for this three-month period compared to a positive free cash flow of ¥8,796 million for the same period of the previous year.
Cash flows from financing activities for this three-month period were a net cash inflow of ¥700 million. Compared to the same period of the previous year, our net cash inflow from financing activities for this three-month period increased approximately ¥3,900 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase of net changes in short-term borrowings of approximately ¥9,800 million, which was partially offset by an increase in dividends paid to shareholders of Nidec Corporation of approximately ¥4,200 million and an increase in repayments of long-term debt of approximately ¥2,000 million.
As a result of the foregoing and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 was ¥271,828 million, an increase of approximately ¥1,900 million from March 31, 2015.
(3) Business Forecasts for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2016
Regarding global economic trends, we expect that, while an economic recovery mainly in the United States is anticipated, uncertainties relating to the impact of a rise in U.S. interest rates on developing economies, the slowdown in Chinese economic growth and the effects of the Greek situation on the European economy will continue to require close monitoring.
Our business forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 and for the six months ending September 30, 2015 remain unchanged as of the date of this report from those which were announced on April 22, 2015.
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.

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, 2015, NIDEC adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” updated by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 requires that a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity should be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or is disposed. ASU 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. 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 Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation (formerly Mitsubishi Materials C.M.I. Corporation) and Nidec Elesys Corporation (formerly Honda Elesys Co., Ltd.) in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we completed our valuation of such assets and liabilities of Nidec Sankyo CMI Corporation and Nidec Elesys Corporation.
In addition, we are currently evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of Nidec GPM GmbH (formerly Geräte- und Pumpenbau GmbH Dr. Eugen Schmidt) and Motortecnica s.r.l. These assets and liabilities have been recorded on our consolidated balance sheet based on preliminary management estimation as of June 30, 2015.
