Operating profit also declined by 30.9%, reaching ¥28.43 billion with a reduced operating margin of 4.2% versus 6.3%. The results were accompanied by management transition discussions and an auditor's disclaimer related to financial reporting.

These developments have raised concerns among investors about Nidec's operational stability and future performance.
