Meidensha Corporation ( (JP:6508) ) has provided an update.

Meidensha Corporation will book significant extraordinary losses for the fiscal year ending March 2026, driven by deteriorating profitability at its Chinese subsidiary MEIDEN(HANGZHOU)DRIVE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., a production and sales hub for electric vehicle drive units. The company will recognize a ¥3,303 million impairment on the subsidiary’s fixed assets on a consolidated basis, reflecting reduced recoverable value.

On a non-consolidated basis, Meidensha will record a ¥4,249 million appraisal loss on shares in the affiliate, as well as an allowance for doubtful accounts of ¥1,690 million and a ¥1,984 million provision for loss on guarantees tied to loans to the Chinese unit. These latter non-consolidated charges will be eliminated in consolidated results, limiting the direct impact on group earnings but underscoring ongoing challenges in its EV drive business in China.
