东京——日本电机制造商尼德科（Nidec）周三公布，截至今年3月的财年净亏损为5640亿日元（约合36亿美元），这主要是由于其电动汽车驱动业务陷入困境所导致的巨额减值损失。
TOKYO -- Japanese motor maker Nidec on Wednesday reported a net loss of 564 billion yen ($3.6 billion) for the fiscal year ended March this year, after booking massive impairment losses mainly related to its struggling electric vehicle drive business.
去年同期，尼德科的净利润为840亿日元。虽然营业收入增长了4%，达到2.7万亿日元，但由于计提了6320亿日元的减值损失，公司仍出现了5189亿日元的营业亏损。
The result compared with a net profit of 84 billion yen a year earlier. Revenue rose 4% to 2.7 trillion yen, while the company posted an operating loss of 518.9 billion yen as it booked impairment losses of 632 billion yen.
此次巨额减值损失进一步加剧了尼德科的经营困境——该公司此前已深陷会计丑闻之中；同时，这也凸显了其进军电动汽车驱动系统（尤其是电动轴领域）所付出的高昂代价。
The impairment loss deepens troubles at Nidec, which is already grappling with an accounting scandal, and highlights the cost of its push into e-axles, once positioned as a key growth business.
尼德科曾在4月宣布推迟公布财务报告，因为包括修正往年财务报表在内的相关工作耗时较长。
The company announced in April that it postponed the disclosure of its financial result because the process, including corrections to prior-year financial statements, had been taking time.
在创始人长森茂信（Shigenobu Nagamori）的领导下，尼德科通过投资和收购不断扩展业务规模。然而，随着电动汽车市场的增长放缓以及与中国制造商之间的价格竞争加剧，公司的盈利能力持续恶化。
Nidec expanded business through investments and acquisitions under founder Shigenobu Nagamori. But profitability deteriorated as growth in the EV market slowed and price competition with Chinese manufacturers intensified.
为减少亏损，尼德科已与中国广汽集团（Guangzhou Automobile Group, GAC）展开谈判，准备终止双方共同成立的电动汽车驱动系统合资企业；前首席执行官岸田光也（Mitsuya Kishida）曾表示尼德科希望退出这一竞争日益激烈的市场。
The company has been moving to stem losses. It has entered talks with China's Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) to dissolve their e-axle joint venture, while former chief executive Mitsuya Kishida had said Nidec wanted to withdraw from the increasingly competitive business.
此次盈利报告的发布，恰在尼德科更换首席执行官的次日——该公司在重大会计丑闻发生后，正试图对管理层进行彻底改革，现任首席执行官是技术总监海田道夫（Michio Kaida）。
The earnings announcement comes a day after Nidec replaced Kishida with Chief Technology Officer Michio Kaida, as the motor maker seeks to overhaul its management following the major accounting scandal.
此次突然的领导层变动，源于去年9月开始的会计违规调查。独立调查委员会发现该公司存在多起不当行为，包括试图逃避减值损失以及延迟确认存货减值的情况。
The sudden leadership change follows an investigation into accounting irregularities that began in September last year. An independent committee found multiple cases of misconduct, including attempts to avoid impairment losses and delays in recognizing inventory write-downs.
岸田于2022年从索尼公司加入日本电产（Nidec），并于2024年出任该公司总裁兼首席执行官。他在担任首席执行官期间负责管理公司的汽车业务（包括电子轴产品的研发与生产）。
Kishida, who joined Nidec from Sony in 2022 and became president and CEO in 2024, resigned on Tuesday. He had overseen the automotive business, including e-axles, since becoming CEO.
日本电产表示，经过内部审查后发现，岸田在财务报告方面的一些言论和行为“未必符合公司规定的道德标准”；根据新的治理结构，公司管理层应被要求遵守更高的道德行为准则。
Nidec said a review found that some of Kishida's statements and conduct related to financial reporting "could not necessarily be regarded as appropriate." It said its management should be held to a higher standard of ethical conduct under its new governance structure.
此前，加田曾协助领导日本电产的企业改革工作，包括制定并提交给东京证券交易所的业务改进计划。
Kaida had helped lead Nidec's corporate reform efforts, including preparations for a business improvement plan submitted to the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
尽管日本电产预计将面临巨额亏损，但截至2025年9月底，该公司的股东权益仍高达1.7万亿日元。此外，该公司还在去年11月从三菱UFJ银行（MUFG Bank）和三井住友银行（Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.）获得了总计6000亿日元的贷款支持。
Despite the scale of Nidec's expected losses, the company had over 1.7 trillion yen in shareholder equity at the end of September 2025. It also secured commitment lines totaling up to 600 billion yen from MUFG Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. last November.
