Nidec Announces its Revision of Upward Consolidated Fiscal First-Half and Year-End Financial Forecasts for the Year Ending March 31, 2025
Nidec Corporation (TOKYO: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the "Company") today announced an upward revision to its IFRS-based consolidated fiscal first-half and year-end financial forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2025, originally announced on April 23, 2024. The details are as follows: 1. Revised consolidated financial forecasts (IFRS) for the six months ending September 30, 2024 2. Revised consolidated financial forecasts (IFRS) for the year ending March 31, 2025 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.
