KYOTO, Japan, Jan. 24, 2017 -- Nidec Corporation (TSE:6594) (OTC US:NJDCY) (the “Company”) today announced a revision to its IFRS-based consolidated financial forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2017.
The Company’s profit performance for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 exceeded the Company’s expectations at the beginning of the period. In view of the favorable profit growth in the nine months, the Company has decided to revise its previously announced profit forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
The details are as follows:

| Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent-Basic | 337.15 | 354.01 | - | - | 303.04 | |
Notes:
(1) In light of the recent depreciation of the Japanese yen, the average exchange rates used for the forecasts are reset at ¥110 from previous ¥100 for US$1 and ¥117 from previous ¥110 for €1, each adjusted to reflect the Japanese yen depreciation trend respectively. The exchange rates between the relevant Asian currencies and the Japanese yen used for the preparation of the foregoing forecasts were determined assuming these exchange rates.
(2) During the three months ended September 30, 2016, Nidec finalized the provisional accounting treatment for business combination, which was carried out in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. As a result, figures as of March 31, 2016 reflect the revision of the initially allocated amounts of acquisition price.
