(1) Overview of Operating Results for the Year Ended March 31, 2020
1. Overview of Business Environment for the Year Ended March 31, 2020
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the global economy was severely disrupted by the spread of infection of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), and there is a growing concern that an economic contraction due to a large-scale blockade and others to prevent the spread of infection will cause a global recession. Japan, the U.S., and Europe are implementing economic policies centered on huge fiscal stimulus, however, many emerging economies rely on external debt to finance their public spending, which could lead to debt crisis due to depreciations of their own currencies. Although the Chinese economy is beginning to show some signs of recovery in the automotive industry and others in March, its GDP from January to March 2020 marked the first negative growth since 1992, when official GDP record started. The prospects of Chinese export industries are extremely uncertain due to the sharp drop in external demand.
In addition, NIDEC was ordered sales of the business of compressor for refrigerator of Secop as the condition of acquisition of Embraco by European Commission. In accordance with this order, in April 2019, NIDEC conferred effective operational control over Secop on a Hold Separate Manager and a Monitoring Trustee. As a result, NIDEC excluded Secop from consolidation and classified the loss related to this as discontinued operations on condensed quarterly consolidated statements of income. In September 2019, NIDEC completed share transfer of Secop and there was ¥15,707 million of the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2020.

(4) Basic Policy on Profit Distribution and Dividends for This Fiscal Year and the Next Fiscal Year
From the standpoint of upholding shareholder-oriented management, we strive to make the efforts mandated by our shareholders; namely, we aim to maintain and improve over the long term our dynamic growth, large revenues, high share price, advanced technology, and generous treatment of our workers. We also strive to present a vision for the future that is reflective of our constant and vigilant attention to the changing times. Fundamental to this stance of ours is our untiring and enduring commitment to growth. In our policy on profit distribution as well, we place importance on maintaining stable dividends, targeting a dividend payout ratio to around 30% of our consolidated profit for the year, and strive to improve dividends while keeping them commensurate with consolidated profit for the year.
At the same time, we work to improve revenues by utilizing internal reserves to further strengthen our operational structure and invest in business expansion.
1. Dividends for this fiscal year: Year-end dividend of ¥60 per share and annual dividend of ¥115 per share
The dividends for the year ended March 31, 2020 comprises, in addition to the interim dividend of ¥55 per share already paid, the scheduled year-end dividend of ¥60 per share. As a result, annual dividends are ¥115 per share, which makes the dividend payout ratio for this fiscal year, which is obtained by dividing total dividends for the year by profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent, 56.3%.
2. Dividends for the next fiscal year: Forecasted full-year dividend of ¥60 (an interim dividend of ¥30 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥30 per share)
Our current dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2021 is an annual dividend of ¥60 per share, comprising an interim
dividend of ¥30 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥30 per share. Based on current forecasts, the dividend payout ratio for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, which is obtained as described above, is 35.2%.
NIDEC implemented a two-for-one common stock split, effective April 1, 2020. The foregoing dividends for the next fiscal year are after the stock split. Without the effect of this stock split, our dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2021 would have been ¥120 per share, including an interim dividend of ¥60 per share.

2. Management Policies, Business Environment, and Challenges
-
Basic Management Policies
We aim to become the world's leading comprehensive motor manufacturer, maximize shareholder value, and meet the
expectations of shareholders by delivering higher technology solutions, offering higher wages, and thus achieving higher growth, profit and stock prices, over the long-term. We seek to uphold the following three management goals and principles:
- Employment stability based on sustainable business growth;
- Available supply of highest quality, indispensable, and widely desired products for the common good for all;
- Pursuit of the top leader position in each of the company's chosen paths.
In addition, NIDEC's basic business strategy is to make innovative changes in existing large markets with new drive technology and to quickly adapt to the needs of new markets. As a means of achieving these goals, NIDEC has reinforced technology and speed through M&As.
-
Business Environment and NIDEC's Medium- to Long-term Business Strategies
Currently, NIDEC aims to ride five innovative waves. The five fields of "automotive electrification," "expansion of robot
applications," "home appliances driven by brushless DC motors," "manpower-saving in agriculture & logistics," and "next- generation technologies arising from 5G communications," which are strongly demanded to solve the global issues such as carbon dioxide emissions, road accidents, and aging of population, are promising growth markets. NIDEC will concentrate management resources in these fields. By combining M&As with the elemental technology NIDEC has accumulated, NIDEC will control all five innovative waves and contribute to sustainable development of the world. During the year ended March 31, 2020, progress has not been as expected partly due to the U.S.-China trade friction and the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), but it remains the basic policy of the medium-term strategic target.
1. Small precision motors
Among the five innovative waves, "next-generation technologies arising from 5G communications" will be the pillar of sales growth in the small precision motors business.When 5G communications become the mainstream, the communication speed will increase by 100 times and the communication capacity will increase by 1,000 times. However, intense heat is generated in the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and electronic circuits due to a huge amount of data being processed at a high speed. Therefore, it is expected that the demand for thermal management such as heat dissipation and cooling will increase more and more. To meet this demand, NIDEC provides the market with thermal module products that combine heat sinks, heat pipes, vapor chambers, and others. Further opportunities arising from the adaption of "home appliances driven by brushless DC motors" can also be expected. Demand for brushless DC motor, which has such features as energy-efficiency,long-life expectancy, and low-noise, will increase more and more as home appliances become energy efficient and cordless. Furthermore, NIDEC will explore its new usage in a wide variety of fields such as AV, IT, OA and communication equipment, home appliances, and industrial equipment, achieving to sustainable growth.
On the other hand, NIDEC makes efforts to improve the profitability of HDD motors. HDDs for PCs are not expected to grow significantly in the future due to the spread of new IT terminals such as tablets and smartphones, though the spread of 5G communications will accelerate the era of big data such as the improvement for the image quality and capacity of images and videos, and spread social media and games. Due to the expansion of storage demand accompanying it, it is expected that the demand for HDD motors in server applications and others will continue to be stable.
2. Automotive products
In the automotive business, as the impact of climate change increases in severity, the automotive industry is accelerating its efforts toward decarbonization. Since passenger cars, trucks, and others account for approximately one fifth of the total CO2 emissions in the world, major countries have announced a ban on the sales of gasoline and diesel vehicles one after another, and are supporting the vehicle electrification and the shift to electric vehicles. NIDEC takes "automotive electrification" as a medium- to long-term growth opportunity, and provides automotive motors such as electric power steering motors and brake motors, for which it has the largest market share, as well as automotive products such as automotive cameras, control valves, electric oil pumps and others.
13
Furthermore, by developing and supplying drive motor system (traction motor) for EVs, which is equivalent to the engine part of a gasoline vehicle, NIDEC will actively participate in the industry's efforts to reduce the CO2 emitted by running vehicles to virtually zero. By combining these with an electronic control unit (ECU), each part can be systemized and high-value-added modular products can be provided.
In addition, by integrating motors, ECUs, sensors, and others to electronically control various vehicle functions, safe driving, collision avoidance, damage reduction, and automatic driving will become possible, which will enhance vehicle safety. Furthermore, reducing CO2 emissions can also be expected by improving fuel efficiency. In the future, aiming to become an automotive electrics manufacturer, NIDEC will contribute to the development of safer, eco-friendly and comfortable cars by providing the automotive industry with system module products that integrate advanced technologies of sensor and ECU into motor technologies NIDEC has accumulated.
3. Appliance, commercial and industrial products
In appliance, commercial and industrial products, motors currently account for approximately half of the world's electric power demand, and since the consumption of industrial motors is particularly large, there is an urgent need to replace them with higher- efficiency motors. In the appliance sector, NIDEC handles motors for washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, compressors for refrigerators, motors for compressors and others. Riding the wave of "home appliances driven by brushless DC motors," NIDEC will contribute to higher efficiency of appliances such as refrigerators.The commercial sector deals with air conditioner motors, and the industrial sector develops business mainly in markets such as agriculture, gas, mining, water and sewage, and marine markets. There is a global trend toward energy-efficiency and power-saving, and NIDEC is aiming for further development of the appliance, commercial, and industrial businesses by following this trend.
4. Others
Demand for factory automation (FA) is increasing mainly in China, aiming to solve the global labor shortage. NIDEC is promoting business expansion by capturing demand for small robot core parts (speed reducers), which is expanding due to the "expansion of robot applications." In order to reliably win the increased orders, NIDEC has started the operation of a new factory for speed reducers for small robots, and has significantly increased its production capacity.
5. M&A
In order to achieve the above goals, in the small precision motors business, NIDEC has acquired Chaun-Choung Technology, which has cooling products centered on vapor chambers. In combination with NIDEC's existing technology, cooling technology centered on fan motors, NIDEC will provide higher value-added thermal solutions. In the automotive business, NIDEC has acquired OMRON Automotive Electronics, which has the technology of electronic control unit (ECU). NIDEC will increase the ECU capacity of Nidec Elesys and pursue synergies with its existing automotive motors. For appliance, commercial and industrial products, NIDEC has acquired Embraco, which has technology for refrigerator compressors. In combination with its existing technology for compressor motors, NIDEC contributes to the development of refrigerators with even greater energy-efficiency performance.
3. Basic Rationale for Selection of Accounting Standards
NIDEC has adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) since the first quarter in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 to strengthen the foundation of financial reporting and make it more efficient.

- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Notes Regarding Going Concern Assumption
Not applicable.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Reporting entity
Nidec Corporation (the "Company") is a corporation located in Japan, whose shares are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The registered addresses of headquarters and principal business offices are available on the Company's website (https://www.nidec.com/en/).
Consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the fiscal year then ended consist of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("NIDEC") and interests in associates of NIDEC.
NIDEC mainly designs, develops, produces, and sells products as described below:
- Small precision motors, which include spindle motors for hard disk drives, brushless motors, fan motors, vibration motors, brush motors and motor applications.
- Automotive products, which include automotive motors and components.
- Appliance, commercial and industrial products, which include home appliance, commercial and industrial motors and related products.
- Machinery, which includes industrial robots, card readers, test systems, press machines and power transmission drives.
- Electronic and optical components, which include switches, trimmer potentiometers, lens units and camera shutters.
- Others, which include services.
2. Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements
(1) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The consolidated financial statements of NIDEC have been prepared in accordance with IFRS pursuant to the provision of Article
93 of Regulations on Terminology, Forms, and Preparation Methods of Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company meets the criteria of a "Designated IFRS Specified Company" defined in Article 1-2 of the Regulations.
(2) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for some assets and liabilities, including derivative and other financial instruments measured at fair value.
(3) Presentation currency and level of rounding
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese Yen, which is also the Company's functional currency, and figures are rounded to the nearest million yen, unless otherwise indicated.
-
Change in presentation
Profit or loss from business classified as discontinued operations are presented on the consolidated statements of income, net of
income tax expense, separately from the profit from continuing operations. Regarding business classified as discontinued operations, reclassification was made on the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the twelve months and the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financial activities are presented in the total amount of continuing operations and discontinued operations cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In addition, "Payments for acquisition of interests in subsidiaries from non-controlling interests" included on the "Other, net" line of "Cash flows from financing activities" on the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same period of the prior year, are presented as a separate line item in this year because their quantitative materiality increased. Consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 contained herein have been reclassified to reflect this change in presentation. As a result, the (¥270) million reported as "Cash flows from financing activities" on the "Other, net" line of the same period of the prior year's consolidated
23
statements of cash flows have been reclassified herein with (¥43) million on the "Payments for acquisition of interests in subsidiaries from non-controlling interests" line and (¥227) million on the "Other, net" line.
3. Significant accounting policies
With the exception of the item explained below, significant accounting policies adopted in preparation of the annual consolidated
financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the NIDEC's consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.
(Leases)
IFRS | Summary of new standard and amendment | |
IFRS 16 | Leases | Revised accounting standard for leases |
From the three months ended June 30, 2019, NIDEC adopted IFRS 16 "Leases".
A contract is considered to be a lease or to contain a lease if the right to control the use of an asset identified at the inception of the contract is conveyed over a period of time in exchange for consideration. If the contract is a lease or contains a lease, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included in the condensed quarterly consolidated financial statements at the inception date. In the measurement of the right-of-use assets, NIDEC adopts a cost model and indicates acquisition costs by the amount deducting the accumulated depreciation and the accumulated impairment loss. Acquisition costs include the initial measurement of lease liabilities, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs. The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease terms, whichever is shorter. Lease liabilities are initially measured as the present value of the unsettled lease payments at the inception of the lease. The lease term is determined with considering an option to extend the lease and an option to terminate the lease under the non-cancelable contract period.
Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and leases that have a small amount of underlying assets are not recognized as the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized over the lease term as expenses on a straight-line basis.
In applying IFRS 16, NIDEC has adopted a method whereby cumulative effects that are allowed as transitional measures are recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of the initial application. With regard to whether leases are contained in contracts concluded prior to the previous consolidated fiscal year, NIDEC has elected the practical expedient of IFRS 16 C3 and continues under IAS 17 "Leases" and IFRIC 4 "Determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease". After the effective date, NIDEC determines whether leases are contained in contracts in accordance with IFRS 16. The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate for the lessee is 3.05% which is applied to the lease liabilities recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as of the effective date.
Leases that were classified as operating leases under IAS 17 are also accounted for by the following interim measures: *Apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
*Apply a recognition exemption for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months
*Exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application
As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16, assets and liabilities increased by ¥25,211 million and ¥25,618 million, respectively. There was immaterial effect on operating profit and its quarterly earnings.
The following is a reconciliation of the lease liabilities recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as of the effective date and the non-cancelable operating lease agreement disclosed by applying IAS 17 at the end of the previous consolidated fiscal year.

(Uncertainty over income tax treatments)
From the year ended March 31, 2020, NIDEC adopted IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over income tax treatments". As a result of this change, ¥3,699 million reported as "Provisions" on Non-current liabilities has been reclassified on the "Income tax payables" on current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the year ended March 31, 2019.
4. Significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and the effects resulting from the revisions of accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in future periods.
Judgments and estimates with accompanying significant risks of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in next fiscal year are the same as those for the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.
5. Business combinations and loss of control
NIDEC adopts the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations".
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, NIDEC completed its valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of Chaun-Choung Technology Corp., MS-Graessner GmbH & Co. KG, and its group companies in the previous fiscal year. Furthermore, during the three months ended December 31, 2019, NIDEC completed its valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of Systeme + Steuerungen GmbH and its group companies (currently, Nidec SYS GmbH) in the previous fiscal year. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, NIDEC completed its valuation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of DESCH Antriebstechnik GmbH & Co. KG and its group companies in the previous fiscal year. NIDEC's consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price as NIDEC finalized the provisional accounting treatment for the business combination.
Of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of companies in the year ended March 31, 2020, the assets and liabilities which are currently under evaluation have been recorded on NIDEC's consolidated statements of financial position based on provisional management estimation as of March 31, 2020.
In addition, NIDEC was ordered sales of the business of compressor for refrigerator of Secop as the condition of acquisition of Embraco by European Commission. In accordance with this order, in April 2019, NIDEC conferred effective operational control over Secop on a Hold Separate Manager and a Monitoring Trustee. As a result, NIDEC excluded Secop from consolidation and classified the loss related to this as discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income. In September 2019, NIDEC completed share transfer of Secop and there was ¥15,707 million of the loss from discontinued operations for the year ended March 31, 2020. The loss amount on the sales recognized with the loss of control is ¥14,167 million for the year ended March 31, 2020. The loss amount on the sales is included in "Loss for the year from discontinued operations" in the consolidated statements of income.

3.NIDEC finalized the provisional accounting treatment for the business combination in the year ended March 31, 2020.

4.From the three months ended June 30, 2019, the business of compressor for refrigerator of Secop has been classified as discontinued operations. As a result, the amounts of net sales, operating profit and profit before income taxes no longer include discontinued operations, presenting only the amounts for continuing operations.
5.NIDEC implemented a two-for-one stock split on our common stock effective April 1, 2020. Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent-basic and earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent-diluted were calculated on the assumption that the relevant stock split had been implemented at the beginning of the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
