3. Reasons for the revision for the financial forecast
Nidec started a new management system on April 1, 2024 and is focusing on improving profitability in each business area. In the small precision motors business, the demand for HDD motors is recovering, and that for water-cooling systems for AI servers is rapidly expanding. In the automotive business, Nidec swiftly shifted its strategy to put first priority on its profitability in fiscal 2023 to respond to the growth slowdown of the Battery EV market and fierce price competition. Nidec will further strengthen cooperation with the joint venture partner to minimize risks, and also focus on component supply with its technical capabilities and cost competitiveness which were cultivated in the fierce market. Nidec recorded a gain on step acquisition as Nidec PSA emotors became its consolidated subsidiary. In the appliance, commercial and industrial products business, Nidec expects rapid demand expansion of power generators which are essential to data centers, and highly growing demand of Battery Energy Storage Systems which are accelerated by expansion of green innovation related demand.
Nidec records the foreign exchange gain of \15.0 billion because the Japanese yen against the US dollar and the Euro remains weaker than expected.
As a result, the financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 exceeded the Company’s previous expectations, originally announced on April 23, 2024, and we revised its forecasts for the first-half and year-end for the year ending March 31, 2025.
Notes: |
|
(1) |
The provided financial forecast assumes the exchange rates of ¥145 against the U.S. dollar and ¥155 against the euro, the same exchange rates used for the preparation of the previously announced forecast. |
(2) |
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed the provisional accounting treatment for business combination. As a result, figures for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended March 31, 2024 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price. |
