Nidec Corporation is considering an application to extend the filing deadline for its Annual Securities Report for the 53rd Fiscal Year to September 30, 2026. The statutory deadline is June 30, 2026. The decision follows ongoing investigations into improper accounting, potential product quality issues, and customs duty reviews that require significant time to resolve, impacting the company's ability to finalize financial results and complete audit procedures.
The company identified suspicions of improper accounting involving management across its group companies, leading to the establishment of a Third-Party Committee on September 3, 2025. The committee's final report on April 17, 2026, revealed numerous instances of improper accounting. Nidec is now assessing the impact on prior consolidated financial statements, including potential impairment losses on goodwill and fixed assets, and verifying tax expenses. Additionally, an Investigation Committee composed of external experts is examining potential quality issues, including unauthorized changes to materials and improper handling of testing data, with findings expected by the end of August 2026.
A review of customs duties is also underway after Nidec FIR International S.R.L. filed a voluntary declaration concerning unpaid additional customs duties. The company is expanding the investigation to include other group transactions. These investigations have delayed the disclosure of financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which were originally scheduled for April 27, 2026.
Preliminary consolidated figures under IFRS for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, show net sales of JPY 2,700,000 million, a 3.5% increase from the previous year. Cash and cash equivalents stood at JPY 850,000 million, while interest-bearing debt was JPY 1,110,000 million, resulting in net interest-bearing debt of JPY 260,000 million. These figures do not reflect the financial impacts of the ongoing investigations or corrections to past financial results.
