KYOTO, Japan, Oct. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594) NJDCY today announced its consolidated financial results under the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the period of April 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019.
The highlights are as follows:
- First-half net sales remain flat Y/Y and the annual forecast remains unchanged.
- First-half operating profit decreased by 35% Y/Y due to the additional R&D and start-up costs (approx. 8.5 billion yen) of traction motors which are in high demand, and to the additional acquisition related expenses of Embraco (approx. 3 billion yen) needed to promote the modularization strategy. R&D and start-up costs of traction motors will continue in the second-half (approx. 30 billion yen for full year) and on account of the above, the annual forecast has been revised down.
- First-half profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 65% Y/Y due to the loss (approx. 20 billion yen) related to the sale of Secop following the European Commission's instructions. The annual forecast has been revised down based on the first-half results and second-half operating profit forecast. However, the annual dividend has been revised up by 5 yen to 115 yen.
- EPS: ¥93.65 (basic and diluted)
