1. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

(1) Analysis of Operating Results

1. Overview of Business Environment for the Year Ended March 31, 2016

Regarding the global economy during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the slowdown in the Chinese economy and the decrease in commodity prices led to a slowdown in developing economies, which became a cause for uncertainty together with increased geopolitical risks related to Europe and the Middle East. While the United States continued its steady economic growth, it showed a cautionary stance in considering further interest rate increases, and the marked appreciation of the value of the Japanese yen from the beginning of the calendar year created uncertainty regarding the future of the Japanese economy, resulting in a lackluster environment overall.

Under such a business environment, we continued to pursue our sales and profit growth strategies with a view to achieve our target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 of consolidated net sales of ¥2 trillion based on our mid-term strategic goal “Vision 2020,” and we achieved in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 our highest consolidated net sales for the fourth consecutive year, as well as the highest operating income for the second consecutive year and the highest income before income taxes and net income for the third consecutive year.

With respect to our results by product category, the quarterly operating income ratio of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products, the product category that serves as the driving force behind the transformation of our business portfolio, exceeded 10% in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 3016 for the first time in our history.

Note: Pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” previous period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted.

Consolidated net sales increased 14.6% to ¥1,178,290 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, recording the highest annual net sales in our history. Operating income increased 12.3% to ¥124,538 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, recording the highest annual operating income in our history. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar for this fiscal year was ¥120.14 to the U.S. dollar, which reflected a depreciation of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar of approximately 9%, compared to the previous fiscal year. The average exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the Euro for this fiscal year was ¥132.58 to the Euro, which reflected an appreciation of the Japanese yen against the Euro of approximately 4% compared to the previous fiscal year. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a positive effect on our net sales of approximately ¥62,100 million and our operating income of approximately ¥9,500 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

Income before income taxes increased 11.4% to ¥119,328million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, and net income attributable to Nidec Corporation increased 20.8% to ¥91,810 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, recording the highest annual income before income taxes and net income attributable to Nidec Corporation in our history.

Small precision motors-

				Yen in millions
		Year ended March 31, 2016	Year ended March 31, 2015	Increase or decrease	Increase or decrease ratio
Net sales of small precision motors		447,988	397,999	49,989	12.6%
	Hard disk drives spindle motors	207,974	204,141	3,833	1.9%

Operating income of small precision motors		68,127	63,059	5,068	8.0%
Operating income ratio		15.2%	15.8%	-	-

Net sales of small precision motors increased 12.6% to ¥447,988 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. Excluding the effect of the foreign currency fluctuation, there was a decrease in sales for spindle motors for hard disk drives (HDDs) resulting from the decrease in the number of units sold. However, this decrease was more than offset by the increase in sales of other small precision motors. The fluctuations of the foreign currency exchange rates had a positive effect on our net sales of small precision motors of approximately ¥34,200 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

Net sales of spindle motors for hard disk drives, or HDDs, for this fiscal year increased 1.9% to ¥207,974 million compared to the previous fiscal year, although the number of units sold of spindle motors for HDDs decreased approximately 10% compared to the previous fiscal year.

Net sales of other small precision motors for this fiscal year increased 23.8% to ¥240,014 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was mainly due to increases in sales of fan motors and other small motors.

Operating income of small precision motors increased 8.0% to ¥68,127 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. The fluctuations of the foreign currency exchange rates had a positive effect on operating income of small precision motors of approximately ¥9,800 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

Automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products-

				Yen in millions
		Year ended March 31, 2016	Year ended March 31, 2015	Increase or decrease	Increase or decrease ratio
Net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products		554,713	460,007	94,706	20.6%
	Appliance, commercial and industrial products	283,382	263,005	20,377	7.7%
	Automotive products	271,331	197,002	74,329	37.7%

Operating income ratio		8.6%	7.9%	-	-

Net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 20.6% to ¥554,713 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. The fluctuations of the foreign currency exchange rates had a positive effect on net sales of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products of approximately ¥20,900 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year.

Net sales of appliance, commercial and industrial products for this fiscal year increased 7.7% compared to the previous fiscal 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 fiscal year increased 37.7% compared to the previous fiscal 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 automotive motors such as electric power steering motors and products relating to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) at Nidec Elesys Corporation.

Operating income of automotive, appliance, commercial and industrial products increased 30.7% to ¥47,654 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year mainly due to the increase in sales.

Operating income ratio	14.8%	16.3%	-	-

Net sales of machinery increased 7.8% to ¥106,462 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year mainly due to increases in sales of LCD panel handling robots and card readers at Nidec Sankyo Corporation.

Operating income of machinery decreased 2.2% to ¥15,797 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year mainly due to changes in product mix.

Electronic and optical components-

Operating income ratio	10.4%	7.7%	-	-

Net sales of electronic and optical components decreased 1.4% to ¥64,112 million for this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of components for compact digital cameras.

Operating income of electronic and optical components increased 32.7% to ¥6,645 million for this fiscal year mainly as a result of our efforts to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce cost of products sold and lower fixed costs, despite the decrease in sales.

*3: “Interest-bearing debt” divided by “total assets”

*4: “Interest-bearing debt” divided by “Nidec Corporation shareholders' equity”

*5: “Net interest-bearing debt” divided by “Nidec Corporation shareholders' equity”

Total assets increased approximately ¥27,100 million to ¥1,384,472 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥36,000 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Total liabilities increased approximately ¥7,700 million to ¥611,967 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. Our short-term borrowings increased approximately ¥28,700 million to approximately ¥81,100 million, and our current portion of long-term debt increased approximately ¥37,300 million to approximately ¥82,800 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. On the other hand, our long-term debt decreased approximately ¥47,700 million to approximately ¥136,900 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015.

Our net interest-bearing debt decreased approximately ¥17,800 million to approximately negative ¥5,200 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. Our debt ratio increased to 21.7% as of March 31, 2016 from 20.8% as of March 31, 2015. Our D/E ratio increased to 0.39 as of March 31, 2016 from 0.38 as of March 31, 2015. Our net D/E ratio decreased to negative 0.01 as of March 31, 2016 compared to 0.02 as of March 31, 2015.

Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity increased approximately ¥19,200 million to ¥764,221 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015. Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity to total assets increased to 55.2% as of March 31, 2016 from 54.9% as of March 31, 2015. The increase of Nidec Corporation shareholders’ equity was mainly due to an increase in retained earnings of approximately ¥68,100 million, an increase in common stock of approximately ¥10,700 million and an increase in additional paid-in capital of approximately ¥10,600 million, partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ¥53,700 million and purchases of treasury stock of approximately ¥12,100 million as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015.

Overview of Cash Flow-

	For the year ended March 31		Increase or decrease
	2016	2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	¥147,610	¥91,875	¥55,735
Net cash used in investing activities	(95,315)	(81,230)	(14,085)
Free cash flow *1	52,295	10,645	41,650
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	¥7,775	¥(19,508)	¥27,283
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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 ("this fiscal year") were a net cash inflow of ¥147,610 million. Compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 ("the prior fiscal year"), our cash inflow from operating activities for this fiscal year increased approximately ¥55,700 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase of approximately ¥14,800 million in our consolidated net income and an increase of approximately ¥20,200 million in net changes in operating assets and liabilities, which consisted of a decrease of approximately ¥37,800 million in operating assets and a decrease of approximately ¥17,600 million in operating liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities for this fiscal year were a net cash outflow of ¥95,315 million. Compared to the prior fiscal year, our net cash outflow from investing activities for this fiscal year increased approximately ¥14,100 million mainly due to an increase in additions to property, plant and equipment of approximately ¥23,900 million. On the other hand, outflow in acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, decreased approximately ¥17,700 million.

As a result, we had a positive free cash flow of ¥52,295 million for this fiscal year compared to a positive free cash flow of ¥10,645 million for the prior fiscal year.

Cash flows from financing activities for this fiscal year were a net cash inflow of ¥7,775 million. Compared to the prior fiscal year, our net cash inflow from financing activities for this fiscal year increased approximately ¥27,300 million mainly due to an increase in proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of approximately ¥37,800 million. On the other hand, outflow in purchases of treasury stock increased approximately ¥10,000 million.

As a result of the foregoing and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016 was ¥305,942 million, an increase of approximately ¥36,000 million from March 31, 2015.

(3) Business Forecasts for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 2017

Based on the recent global economic trends that we have identified, while there was a sense of anticipation for continued strength in the U.S. economy, the uncertain effects of future monetary policy on the U.S. and emerging market economies, the slowdown in China as well as geopolitical risks related to Europe and the Middle East and the challenge of appreciating yen on the Japanese economy suggest that optimism is unwarranted.

In this business environment, we aim to push forward in achieving the goals set forth in our new business strategy for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

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 on p.18 of this report.

Forecast of consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017

Net sales	¥1,250,000 million	(Up 6.1% from the previous fiscal year)
Operating income	¥130,000 million	(Up 4.4% from the previous fiscal year)
Income before income taxes	¥130,000 million	(Up 8.9% from the previous fiscal year)
Net income attributable to Nidec Corporation	¥98,000 million	(Up 6.7% from the previous fiscal year)

Forecast of consolidated results for the six months ending September 30, 2016

Net sales	¥600,000 million	(Up 2.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year)
Operating income	¥63,500 million	(Up 2.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year)
Income before income taxes	¥63,500 million	(Up 0.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year)
Net income attributable to Nidec Corporation	¥48,000 million	(Up 0.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year)

Notes:

The exchange rates used for the preparation of the foregoing forecasts are US$1 = ¥110 and €1 = ¥120. The exchange rates between relevant Asian currencies and the Japanese yen used for the preparation of the foregoing forecasts were determined assuming these exchange rates.

The forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and the six months ending September 30, 2016 are made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, although we have decided to voluntarily adopt IFRS from the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

(4) Dividend Policy

We uphold shareholder-oriented management and seek to deliver higher technology solutions while offering higher wages in order to achieve higher growth, profitability and share value so as to build long-term, sustainable growth in shareholder value. We also seek to lay out our vision for the future on a regular and timely basis to keep stakeholders informed on how we intend to respond to changing opportunities and challenges as we continue to strive to succeed in our endeavors. Placing importance on regular dividend payments, we seek to increase our dividend payout to around 30% of our consolidated net income and use reserves to reinforce our management structure, expand our business horizons, and eventually to improve our profitability and shareholder value.

We have determined the year-end dividend to be ¥40.0 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. As a result, together with the interim dividend of ¥40.0 per share, the full-year dividend will be ¥80.0 per share. The dividend payout ratio, which is obtained by dividing dividend declared for the year by net income attributable to Nidec Corporation, for this fiscal year is approximately 25.9%.

Our current dividend forecast for the year ending March 31, 2017 is a full-year dividend of ¥80.0 per share (an interim dividend of ¥40.0 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥40.0 per share.) Based on this forecast, the dividend payout ratio for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 that we are aiming to achieve is approximately 24.2%.

3. Management Policies

(1) Basic management policies

We aim to become the world’s No. 1 comprehensive motor manufacturer and maximize shareholder value and meet the expectations of shareholders by delivering higher technology solutions while 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:

Provide employment opportunities created from stable business growth,

Supply universally desired, indispensable products for the common good, and

Pursue the No. 1 position in all that we undertake.

(2) Management targets

We endeavor to pursue profitable growth by setting a new medium-term strategic target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Its main components are as follows:

1. Consolidated net sales of ¥2 trillion yen (including approximately ¥500 billion yen contributed by new

M&A activity)

2. Consolidated net sales of automotive products of ¥700 billion yen to ¥1 trillion yen

3. Consolidated operating income ratio of at least 15%

4. ROE (return on shareholders’ equity) of at least 18% (assuming shareholders’ equity to total assets of 60%)

5. Establishment of a five-pronged global business management system

(3) The Nidec Group’s mid- to long-term business strategies

To achieve the targets set forth in our new medium-term strategic target, the Nidec Group, acting based on “its organic growth strategy” and “M&A strategy,” seeks to enhance and expand its business portfolio and achieve more uniformity among the group companies.

We are currently shifting from our current business portfolio to an improved and expanded business portfolio consisting of four core business lines—“small precision motors,” “appliance, commercial and industrial motor products,” “automotive products” and “other products.” —and have launched in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 a business enhancement system through which we aim to promote a market-oriented approach for each area of operation, particularly in terms of formulating new strategic ideas and operational implementation.

To strengthen the group’s advanced R&D structures, we intend to develop new business and shift to an improved and expanded business portfolio under the leadership of our Chief Technology Officer while actively interacting with external research institutions. Taking advantage of our core technologies, we seek to realize innovation and achieve growth by exploring the market with high value-added products developed by our group’s unique technology and pursuing Technology Application Development to cultivate new market demand.

As a critical part of the growth strategy of the Nidec Group, we plan to continue to actively seek M&A opportunities as we aim to achieve growth quickly and efficiently. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we have successfully acquired Motortecnica s.r.l., Arisa, S.A., KB Electronics, Inc., E.M.G. Elettromeccanica S.r.l., PT. NAGATA OPTO INDONESIA, and the switched reluctance (SR) motor and drive business of China Tex Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Ltd.

Furthermore, with the purpose of promoting our production technology and realizing profitable applications of new materials, engineering methods, robots and automation equipments, we established in October 2015 the Nidec Center for Industrial Science, the construction of which will begin in Keihanna Science City in October 2016. We seek to build a manufacturing system so as to be better able to stay ahead of the global competition while nurturing our manufacturing engineers.

(4) The Nidec Group’s challenges

1. Continue to enhance the corporate governance system

To further strengthen our corporate governance, we seek to improve the structure of our board of directors by having independent outside directors while planning to reduce the number of inside directors so as to facilitate more vigorous discussions in meetings of our board of directors. For this fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, we plan to have a total of three outside corporate auditors and two outside directors.

Enhance and strengthen our global management infrastructure

As a global company, we continue to enhance our group-wide management system that meets global standards, including financial reporting and disclosure systems.

In order to strengthen the foundation for our growth strategy, we are currently building our “Five-Pronged Global Business Management System” to accelerate both organic global growth and post-merger integration following acquisitions. Specifically, we are establishing regional headquarters that are responsible for improving management quality (governance, compliance and internal controls), improving management efficiency (high quality, low-cost regional shared services), and actively supporting post-merger integration, while expanding their functionalities.

We previously maintained a “federate-style” management system, under which each group company we acquired maintained a high degree of independence and autonomy in managing its business operations. However, in response to globalization, we are now quickly moving towards unified group management.

Our Operational Management and Audit Department, the department responsible for group-wide internal controls, seeks to establish a global audit system in an effort to strengthen the supervision in the area of prevention of improper conduct as the global management system is further enhanced, and further enhance our internal control system based on the experience and know-how gained through the past audits of our financial statements and the implementation of measures to comply with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We also seek to improve our disclosure system and policy through enhanced cooperation between a committee responsible for information disclosure and other relevant specialized departments.

Such specialized departments and offices, including the Compliance Office, the Risk Management Office, and the CSR (corporate social responsibility) Promotion Office, also collaborate with one another and other departments as appropriate. We seek to find ways to create jobs and otherwise contribute to society based on our basic management policy as a good corporate citizen.

4. Basic rationale for selection of accounting standards

We have decided to voluntarily adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 in order to further strengthen the infrastructure and improve the efficiency of the group’s financial reporting.

6. Critical Accounting Policies

The Company and its subsidiaries in Japan maintain their records and prepare their accounts and records in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and its foreign subsidiaries in conformity with those of their countries of domicile. Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been incorporated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

《Changes Relating to the Basis for Preparing Our Consolidated Financial Statements》

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.

Business Combinations

Pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” consolidated financial statements for the previous year and the three months ended June 30, 2015 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect NIDEC’s valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of Nidec GPM GmbH in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, NIDEC completed its valuation of such assets and liabilities of Nidec GPM GmbH.

In addition, NIDEC has been evaluating the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon the acquisitions of companies in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Assets and liabilities which are currently under evaluation have been recorded on NIDEC’s consolidated balance sheet based on preliminary management estimation as of March 31, 2016. With regard to assets and liabilities of which fair value evaluation is completed, consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2015 have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect NIDEC’s valuation of fair value. These evaluations do not have material impacts on NIDEC’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
