Nidec (NJDCY) Stock News

Nidec Corporation (OTC US: NJDCY) has completed the acquisition of Changzhou Xecom Energy Technologies Co., Ltd., a Chinese scroll compressor manufacturer, through its subsidiary Nidec Appliance Controls. The acquired company has been renamed to Nidec Scroll Technology (Changzhou) Co., Ltd.

Xecom, founded in 2021, specializes in designing and producing high-performance scroll compressors for air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration applications. The company generated sales of 123 million RMB (approximately $17 million USD) in 2024 and employs about 75 people.

This strategic acquisition aligns with Nidec's growth strategy in appliance, commercial, and industrial motors businesses, following previous acquisitions of Sole Motors (2010) and Embraco (2019). The transaction is not expected to significantly impact Nidec's consolidated financial performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Nidec Corporation (OTC:NJDCY) has received approval to extend the deadline for submitting its securities report for the 52nd fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The original deadline of June 30, 2025 has been extended to September 26, 2025. The company plans to complete the submission following audits by the accounting auditor within the new deadline.

Nidec Corporation (OTC:NJDCY) has announced it will seek approval to extend the deadline for submitting its 52nd fiscal year securities report from June 30, 2025, to September 26, 2025. This extension is necessitated by ongoing investigations into customs violations at its Italian subsidiary, NIDEC FIR INTERNATIONAL S.R.L.

The investigation revealed that between April 2018 and September 2023, FIR incorrectly declared Italy as the country of origin for oven motors shipped to the US, despite using Chinese-made parts, thereby avoiding required tariffs. An external investigation discovered similar issues with other FIR motors. The company has halted US shipments unless declared as Chinese-origin and requires additional internal investigations to assess the full impact on consolidated financial statements and internal controls.

Nidec Corporation has announced a delay in submitting its 52nd Annual Securities Report, originally scheduled for June 18, 2025. The postponement stems from ongoing investigations into potential irregularities at its Italian subsidiary, NIDEC FIR INTERNATIONAL S.R.L. The company discovered possible erroneous declarations of country of origin for certain motors, which may have resulted in unpaid import tariffs. A third-party expert in international trade and customs law is conducting investigations. The delay is specifically due to the need for additional audit procedures by the accounting auditor, as the company continues to examine the impact on its consolidated financial statements and internal controls. NIDEC FIR, which generated sales of 13,873 million yen in fiscal 2024, manufactures motors and actuators for industrial, commercial, and appliance applications.

The decision to withdraw was made during a Board of Directors meeting on May 9, 2025, citing concerns that an allotment of share options without contribution could potentially damage the company and make the tender offer economically unreasonable.
