Earnings Release for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013
1. Information on Consolidated Results
i. Business Overview
Amid a major transition driven mainly by the rapid proliferation of smartphones, the competition in Japans mobile telecommunications market remains intense due to active movement of subscribers using the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) system and other factors.
Under these market conditions, we are promoting various initiatives to achieve further growth and create a society where everyone can lead a safe, secure and affluent life in line with our corporate vision, Pursuing Smart Innovation: HEART.
Furthermore, based on our Medium-Term Vision 2015: Shaping a Smart Life that defines our medium-term management policies, we have taken steps for the reinforcement of our mobile business, and worked on the expansion of new businesses to create new values, thereby supporting the everyday lives of our customers and businesses to impart a sense of safety, security, convenience and efficiency as a Partner for a Smart Life,.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, in order to reinforce our mobile business, we endeavored to meet the needs of more customers with enrichment of our product lineup including smartphones, expansion of our Xi LTE service coverage and improvement of our billing plans and after-sales support. Additionally, we aggressively promoted the convergence of mobile with various other industries and services in collaboration with external partners in eight new business fields* which were set up with the aim of expanding new businesses.
In addition, we have also strived to provide customers with greater convenience by blending the initiatives undertaken in new business areas and those in our mobile phone business with enrichment of the capabilities and content provided through the docomo cloud, which comprise the dmarket portal and other components. Also, for the purpose of further improving the services offered on smartphones in cooperation with venture companies, and reinforcing our service development capabilities in new business fields toward the future, in February 2013, we established a venture fund operating company, DOCOMO Innovation Ventures, Inc., and launched an incubation program, DOCOMO Innovation Village, to support startups and ventures.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, while voice revenues in our mobile communications services** decreased by ¥267.3 billion due mainly to the impacts of penetration of the Monthly Support discount program and a decrease in MOU (Minutes of Use), packet revenues increased by ¥109.3 billion due to an increase in the number of Xi subscriptions and a growth in the user base of smartphones as a result of our active sales promotion. Equipment sales revenues grew by ¥259.2 billion due to an increase in wholesale price per unit and an increase in the number of handsets sold to agent resellers. Other operating revenues grew by ¥128.9 billion owing mainly to an favorable expansion of our new business fields and other measures. Consequently, we recognized operating revenues of ¥4,470.1 billion (an increase of ¥230.1 billion from the previous fiscal year).
Despite our promotion of cost efficiency improvement toward the goal of further strengthening our management structure, operating expenses increased by ¥267.4 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥3,632.9 billion as a result of costs for measures aimed to expand new businesses as well as increased costs of equipment sold due to an increase in the purchase price per handset and the number of handsets sold to agent resellers.
2
As a result of the foregoing, although we could not achieve ¥900.0 billion, the original full-year target, we recorded operating income of ¥837.2 billion (a decrease of ¥37.3 billion from the previous fiscal year), and were able to surpass ¥820.0 billion, the full-year forecast as revised in the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates was ¥841.7 billion, and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. was ¥495.6 billion (an increase of 31.7 billion from the previous fiscal year).
Going forward, while continuing our endeavors to operate a safe, secure and high-quality network to improve customer satisfaction, we will further accelerate the initiatives in both our mobile phone business and new businesses. At the same time, for the steadfast implementation of these measures, we will also steadily promote structural reform to strengthen our managerial foundation.
* | Our eight new business fields are media/content, finance/payment, commerce, medical/healthcare, M2M, aggregation/platform, environment/ecology, and safety/security. |
** | With the expansion of initiatives regarding the new business fields, presentation methods of operating revenues in the consolidated statements of income of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 have been changed. Some elements which were included in conventional Wireless services have been reclassified into Other operating revenues, and the title Wireless services has been changed to Mobile communications services. |

DOCOMO Earnings Release |
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013 |
ii. Segment Results
Mobile phone business
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we worked to deliver state-of-the-art services that are only available from us leveraging our proprietary docomo cloud technology, while further enhancing the convenience of our smartphone products with the release of various products including XperiaTM Z SO-02E, which is equipped with a large-capacity battery and quad-core CPU for ultra-fast processing.
We also enriched our product lineup to accommodate a diverse range of users without any concerns about safety and security, by launching distinctive models such as the Raku-Raku Smartphone designed for maximum ease of use with such features as the Raku-Raku Touch Panel that gives the tactile sensation of pressing a physical button, and the Smartphone for Juniors SH-05E, an entry-level model equipped with features designed for preteen, first-time smartphone users.
Meanwhile, we also expanded and improved billing options, our service areas and our after-sales support to provide an environment in which our customers will find it easy to use our products and services.
As a result of the foregoing, the total number of smartphone sold in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 reached 13.29 million units, and the total number of sp-mode subscribers grew to 18.28 million.
Our total mobile phone subscriptions as of March 31, 2013 grew to 61.54 million, up 1.41 million compared to the number as of March 31, 2012, as a result of brisk smartphone sales. However, the competition with other carriers for the acquisition of net additions remained intense, and the impact of subscriber port-outs using the MNP system expanded. As a consequence, our cellular churn rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 increased by 0.22 points from the previous fiscal year to 0.82%.
While voice revenues decreased by ¥267.3 billion due mainly to the impacts of penetration of the Monthly Support discount program and a decrease in MOU (Minutes of Use), packet revenues increased by ¥109.3 billion due to an increase in the number of Xi subscriptions and a growth in the user base of smartphones as a result of our active sales promotion. Equipment sales revenues grew by ¥259.2 billion due to an increase in wholesale price per unit and an increase in the number of handsets sold to agent resellers.
As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues and operating income from the mobile phone business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, were ¥4,275.2 billion (an increase of ¥164.6 billion from the previous fiscal year) and ¥868.3 billion (a decrease of ¥18.0 billion from the previous fiscal year), respectively.

iii. Stable Operation of Communications Network
To fulfill our mission, as an operator of vital social infrastructure, of ensuring communications that connect people, we have been working on the construction of communication infrastructure that can function properly even in the event of a large-scale disaster.
In addition, we have also employed measures to ensure stable network operations, adapting to the changes in communications environment associated with the rapid proliferation of smartphones and addition of cloud service.
<<Measures for Disaster Preparedness>>
| To prepare for possible large-scale disasters in the future, such as an earthquake directly striking the Metropolis of Tokyo, we have moved ahead with the dispersion of important communications facilities previously concentrated in the Metropolitan area. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we established a backup center for our smartphone packet communications platform in Kyushu and a backup center for the storage of customer data in Kansai. |
| We started furnishing our base stations with fuel cells that are more compact and lightweight than heretofore as an emergency power source that can supply power for over 40 hours in the event of a disaster. As a new countermeasure against long-term power outage, we introduced remotely-controlled energy-saving mechanisms. |
| With the aim of ensuring communications in cases of natural disasters such as earthquakes or torrential rain or events with massive public turnout, we introduced mobile base station vehicles compatible with our high-speed Xi LTE service (maximum downlink speed: 75Mbps). |
| With the NTT DOCOMO Group Comprehensive Disaster Drill, which is conducted annually in cooperation with designated administrative institutions, we verify and confirm the procedures for securing communications and restoring damaged communications and other facilities in the event of a disaster through the setting and operation of equipment that we newly introduced in light of the lessons learned from the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. |
| We also carried out verification experiments toward the commercialization of disaster-resilient, environment friendly Green Base Stations. |

iv. Trend of Capital Expenditures
The principal capital investments made during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 are summarized below.
<< Expansion of Telecommunications Facilities>>
| We improved the Xi LTE services area, while moving forward with a significant increase in the number of base stations, and continued further quality enhancements for FOMA services areas. As a result, the total number of Xi LTE base stations reached 24,400, up 17,400 compared to March 31, 2012. The total number of FOMA outdoor and indoor base stations was 68,800 and 33,900, respectively. |
| We moved ahead with the reinforcement of our network facilities to respond to the increase in data traffic resulting from the expanded adoption of smartphones and migration of subscribers to Xi LTE service. |
| We tackled the reinforcement of our docomo cloud servers and other platform elements to deliver various intelligent services such as Shabette Concier voice agent or Hanashite Honyaku speech translation services. |
<<Initiatives Aimed for Efficiency and Cost Reduction>>
| We pursued cost efficiency improvement toward the goal of further strengthening our management foundation through integration and/or capacity expansion of our existing equipment, efficiency improvement of construction works and reduction of equipment procurement costs. |
| We also structured our service areas and achieved quality improvement in an efficient manner, using the optimal equipment among various options taking into consideration the surrounding environment and geography, data transmission volume and other factors when establishing base stations. |
As a result of the above measures, the total capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, increased by 3.7% from the previous fiscal year to ¥753.7 billion.

v. Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2014
Competition in Japans mobile telecommunications market is expected to remain intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings. Under these market conditions, we expect to post an increase in both operating revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
Our operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 are expected to be ¥4,640.0 billion, an increase of ¥169.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, reflecting continuing growth in packet revenues driven by accelerating the migration to Xi smartphones, equipment sales revenues by promoting smartphones sales, and Other operating revenues such as dmarket, offsetting revenue reduction primarily caused by the growth in subscription numbers of the Monthly Support discount program. Our operating expenses are expected to be ¥3,800.0 billion, an increase of ¥167.1 billion from the previous fiscal year. Although we continue efforts aimed at further cost efficiency, operating expenses are expected to increase primarily caused by the growth in the number of Xi LTE base stations for quality enhancements, actions aimed for expanding future revenues, and an increase in cost of equipment sold driven by the growth in handset sales. Accordingly, operating income is estimated to be ¥840.0 billion, an increase of ¥2.8 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Notes:
1. | The mobile telecommunications market in Japan is characterized by rapid changes in the market environment due to technical innovations, market entry by new competitors and other factors. To respond to such changes, our corporate group may introduce new billing plans or other measures that could potentially have a significant impact on our revenues and income. The timing of introduction of such measures will be decided after comprehensively taking into consideration our operational circumstances and the actions of our competitors, and therefore, is not necessarily decided beforehand. Such measures, depending on the timing of implementation, may significantly affect our results forecasts to be made at the time of our first-half results announcement. Providing such prospects on a half-year basis, therefore, may not be adequate or useful as information to be disclosed to investors. Accordingly, we will provide prospects for the full year only, and report progress vis-à-vis the projected full-year forecasts by disclosing actual results on a quarterly basis. |

ii. Cash Flow Conditions
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥ 932.4 billion, a decrease of ¥178.2 billion (16.0%) from the previous fiscal year, mainly because of an increase of fund-provision in relation to installment receivables for subscribers handset purchases under the installment method.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥701.9 billion, a decrease of ¥272.7 billion (28.0%) from the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in purchases of short-term investments of more than three months for cash management purpose.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥261.0 billion, a decrease of ¥117.6 billion (31.1%) from the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in payments to long-term debt.
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥493.7 billion as of March 31, 2013, a decrease of ¥28.4 billion (5.4%) from the previous fiscal year end.

i. Basic Policies for Profit Distribution
Believing that providing adequate returns to shareholders is one of the most important issues in corporate management, we plan to pay dividends by taking into account our consolidated results and consolidated dividend payout ratio based on the principle of stable dividend payments, while striving to strengthen our financial position and secure internal reserves. We will also continue to take a flexible approach regarding share repurchases. We intend to keep the repurchased shares as treasury stock and in principle to limit the amount of such treasury stock to approximately 5% of our total issued shares, and will consider retiring any treasury stock held in excess of this limit in a lump around the end of the fiscal year or at other appropriate times.
In addition, we will allocate internal reserves to active research and development efforts, capital expenditures and other investments in response to the rapidly changing market environment. We will endeavor to boost our corporate value by introducing new technologies, offering new services and expanding our business fields through alliances with new partners.
ii. Dividend
We paid ¥3,000 per share as an interim dividend for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and plans to pay a year-end dividend of ¥3,000 per share, resulting in a total annual dividend of ¥6,000 per share for the year ended March 31, 2013.
iii. Prospect for the next fiscal year
We expect to pay an interim dividend of ¥3,000 and a year-end dividend of ¥30 per share for the year ending March 31, 2014. The year-end dividend forecast takes into account 1:100 stock split with the effective date of October 1, 2013. If adjusted to reflect the number of shares prior to the stock split, the total annual dividend amount will be equivalent to ¥6,000 per share, consisting of an interim dividend of ¥3,000 and a year-end dividend of ¥3,000.

We are also taking steps to maximize our corporate value to heighten the trust and value that shareholders and customers place in us.
(2) Target Management Indicators
As Japans mobile telecommunications market continues to mature, our group regards EBITDA margin as an important management indicator from the perspective of profitability, to further enhance its management effectiveness.

The group will exert its utmost efforts to maintain EBITDA margin of at least 35% and achieve ROCE of at least 20% and attempt to maximize its corporate value.
Notes:
| EBITDA margin = EBITDA / Operating revenues |
| EBITDA = Operating income + Depreciation and amortization + Losses on sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment |

NTT DOCOMO, INC. shareholders equity and interest bearing liabilities are the average of the amounts at the end of the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year.

To this end, we established docomo Healthcare, Inc., a joint venture with OMRON HEALTHCARE Co. Ltd., and launched a new mobile healthcare platform dubbed watashi-move in April 2013.

(2) Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
i. Definition of ARPU and MOU
a. | ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit): |
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our mobile communications services and a part of other operating revenues by the number of active subscriptions to our wireless services in the relevant periods. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. |
b. | MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription. |
ii. ARPU Calculation Methods
Aggregate ARPU = |
Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + Smart ARPU | |
- Voice ARPU: |
Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions | |
- Packet ARPU: |
Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions | |
- Smart ARPU: |
A part of other operating revenues (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others) / No. of active subscriptions |
iii. | Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods |
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month ((No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period
Note: | Subscriptions and revenues for communication module services, Phone Number Storage and Mail Address Storage services are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations. |

(2) Effect of transfer of receivables represents the effect caused by the uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION. Since the payment conditions of the consideration of claims transferred to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION are set approximately equivalent to our cash collection cycle history, an impact derived from the transfer of receivables is not significant. |
(3) Changes in investments for cash management purposes were derived from purchases, redemption at maturity and disposals of financial instruments held for cash management purposes with original maturities of longer than three months. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March, 2012 and 2013 includes changes in investments for cash management purposes. The effect of changes in investments for cash management purposes is not taken into account when we forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2014 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect. |

Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
i. Definition of ARPU and MOU a. ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit):
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our mobile communications services and a part of other operating revenues by the number of active subscriptions to our wireless services in the relevant periods. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. b. MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription. ii. ARPU Calculation Methods Aggregate ARPU Voice ARPU Packet ARPU Smart ARPU
- Voice ARPU : Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges)
/ No. of active subscriptions
- Packet ARPU : Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)
/ No. of active subscriptions
- Smart ARPU : A part of other operating revenues (revenues from content services, proxy bill collection commissions, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others) / No. of active subscriptions
iii. Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month ((No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period
Note: Subscriptions and revenues for communication module services, Phone Number Storage and Mail Address Storage services are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

Note: (1) Irregular factors represent the effects of uncollected revenues due to a bank closure at the end of the fiscal period.
(2) Effect of transfer of receivables represents the effect caused by the uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION. Since the payment conditions of the consideration of claims transferred to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION are set approximately equivalent to our cash collection cycle history, an impact derived from the transfer of receivables is not significant.
(3) Changes in investments for cash management purposes were derived from purchases, redemption at maturity and disposals of financial instruments held for cash management purposes with original maturities of longer than three months. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March, 2012 and 2013 includes changes in investments for cash management purposes. The effect of changes in investments for cash management purposes is not taken into account when we forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2014 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.
