Earnings Release for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2011
1. Information on Consolidated Results
(1) Operating Results
i. Business Overview
As Japan’s mobile telecommunications market continues to mature in line with the rise in cellular penetration rate, competition among operators remains intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings.
Under these market conditions, based on our medium-term action plan “Change and Challenge,” which was announced in October 2008, we have continued to promote measures aimed at improving customer satisfaction, and have swiftly and steadily moved ahead with various other actions, such as increasing the adoption of smartphones with the aim of driving growth by boosting packet ARPU and expanding the coverage of “Xi” (crossy) LTE service.
We have also developed our “Medium-Term Vision 2015: Shaping a Smart Life” as a clear step toward the realization of our corporate vision for 2020, “HEART: Pursuing Smart Innovation.” Going forward, we will work to further advance our products such as smartphones and services, and as an “Integrated Service Company placing mobile at the core,” we will create new values through convergence with other industries and services. Thereby we will aim to offer enhanced safety and security and deliver more convenient and efficient solutions to people’s everyday lives and businesses, for fulfilling smart lives.
With respect to the restoration of communication facilities affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, we completed full-scale repair of damaged base station facilities and recovered our network area quality to pre-disaster levels by the end of September 2011. We will continue to work on the restoration of submerged or physically damaged base stations located in the areas severely affected by the tsunami or other factors, keeping pace with the reconstruction plan of the respective municipalities.
Meanwhile, we have swiftly and steadily moved ahead with the implementation of new disaster preparedness measures, completing the roll-out of large-zone base stations* in two locations in the Tokai region in September 2011. We plan to complete the implementation of all measures, including the provision of “disaster voice file message service” by the end of this fiscal year, in an effort to continue providing enhanced safety and security to our customers.
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, in our cellular services revenues, while the voice revenue decreased by ¥96.1 billion due to a decline in voice ARPU, packet revenue increased by ¥69.5 billion as a result of our endeavors to increase packet ARPU, such as active sales of smartphones. Other revenues grew by ¥5.4 billion owing mainly to an increase in the subscriptions to “Mobile Phone Protection and Delivery Service.” Equipment sales revenues dropped by ¥4.0 billion due to a decrease in wholesale price per unit. Consequently, we recognized operating revenues of ¥2,113.0 billion (a decrease of ¥25.2 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year). Operating expenses declined by ¥2.2 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,604.5 billion, as a result of a decrease in network-related costs achieved through efficient use of capital expenditures and other continued cost-cutting efforts. As a result of the foregoing, we recorded operating income of ¥508.5 billion (a decrease of ¥23.0 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year). Income before income taxes was ¥511.9 billion and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. was ¥299.0 billion.

Large-zone base station: a base station that can provide coverage over an area usually covered by multiple stations

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Six Months Ended September 30, 2011
ii. Segment Results
Mobile phone business—
During the six months ended September 30, 2011, we continually implemented various business transformation initiatives from a customer-centric perspective, and released 27 new models of devices, including smartphones, such as “Galaxy S II” and “XperiaTM acro,” to offer products and services catered to the diverse needs of customers. The number of smartphones sold during the six months ended September 30, 2011 reached 3.63 million units. We were also awarded the No. 1 ranking for three consecutive years both in the “Mobile Data Device Customer Satisfaction Survey” conducted by Nikkei BP Consulting*1 and the “2011 Japan Business Mobile Phone Service StudySM” by J.D. Power Asia Pacific.*2
Furthermore, with respect to “Xi” LTE service launched in December 2010, we expanded our service coverage in six major cities in addition to Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Also, we unveiled new billing plans, including a full flat-rate option, and our first Xi-enabled tablet devices.
As part of actions taken to boost packet revenues, we announced the introduction of new prepaid data billing plans for “PlayStation®Vita,” a portable gaming console of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.
In an effort to cultivate new growth areas, we added a new menu to our existing “docomo one-time insurance” service to allow users to subscribe to automobile insurance on a per day basis.
In addition, to enable one-stop provision of cross-border solutions to multinational companies, we plan to form a business partnership with Vodafone Group Plc, centered on corporate sales.
As of September 30, 2011, the total number of our cellular service subscriptions was 58.99 million (an increase of 2.10 million compared to the number as of September 30, 2010), and our cellular churn rate for the six months ended September 30, 2011 was 0.50%. Although packet ARPU increased from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to increased packet usage resulting from the expanded uptake of smartphones and other factors, voice ARPU posted a decrease due primarily to an increase in the number of “Value Plan” subscriptions, which reached approximately 44.20 million following its launch in November 2007. As a result, aggregate ARPU for the six months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by 4.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥4,960.
With regard to equipment sales, equipment sales revenues and cost of equipment sold decreased from the same period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a decline in purchase and wholesale prices per unit.
As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues and operating income from mobile phone business for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were ¥2,050.8 billion (a decrease of ¥21.0 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and ¥512.8 billion (a decrease of ¥20.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year) respectively.

ii. Cash Flow Conditions
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥624.4 billion, a decrease of ¥8.9 billion (1.4%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to a decrease of the cash collections in relation to subscribers’ handset purchases under the installment method.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥661.8 billion, an increase of uses by ¥313.1 billion (89.8%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in purchases of short-term investments of more than three months for cash management purpose and due to a decrease of proceeds from redemption of short-term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥212.1 billion, an increase of uses by ¥100.6 billion (90.2%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to an increase in repayment of long-term debt.
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥515.9 billion as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of ¥249.6 billion (32.6%) from the previous fiscal year end.

(3) Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2012
As Japan’s mobile phone market continues to mature in line with the rise in cellular penetration rate, competition among operators is expected to remain intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings.
Under these market conditions, we have decided to revise our group’s full-year forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 as described in the table below.
The operating revenues forecasts have been revised upwards by ¥10.0 billion from the original forecasts to ¥4,240.0 billion primarily due to the projected increase in packet revenues arising from our efforts to strengthen sales of smartphones and to accelerate the migration to “Xi.”
The operating expenses forecasts have been revised downwards by ¥10.0 billion from the original forecasts due to efforts to make our operations efficient, although recovery operations related to the Great East Japan Earthquake, new disaster preparedness measures, and the actions aimed for expanding future revenues and enhancing customer satisfaction are expected to be implemented. Accordingly, operating income is estimated to be ¥870.0 billion, an increase of ¥20.0 billion from the original forecasts.

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements
Effective April 1, 2011, DOCOMO adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13 “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in October 2009. ASU2009-13 requires allocation of the overall consideration to each deliverable in an arrangement with multiple deliverables using the estimated selling price in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price for deliverables and eliminates residual method of allocation. The adoption of ASU2009-13 did not have a material impact on DOCOMO’s results of operations and financial position.

(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 wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. 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
  a.  
ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova)
         
 
      Aggregate ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) =   Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova)
 
       
 
      Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova):   Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova)
 
       
 
      Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova):   Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova)
  b.  
ARPU (FOMA)
         
 
      Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) =   Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)
 
       
 
      Voice ARPU (FOMA):   Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)
 
       
 
      Packet ARPU (FOMA):   Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)
  c.  
ARPU (mova)
         
 
      Aggregate ARPU (mova) =   Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova)
 
       
 
      Voice ARPU (mova):   Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova)
 
       
 
      Packet ARPU (mova):   Packet ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova)
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.

Net cash used in investing activities includes changes in investments for cash management purposes except for the year ending March 31, 2012. 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, 2012 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Six Months Ended September 30, 2011
5. Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of operational data such as the expected number of subscriptions, and the expected dividend payments. All forward-looking statements that are not historical facts are based on management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and estimates based on the information currently available. Some of the projected numbers in this earnings release were derived using certain assumptions that are indispensable for making such projections in addition to historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following:
(1)  
Changes in the business environment in the telecommunications industry, such as intensifying competition from other service providers, businesses or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, new market entrants and other factors, or the expansion of the areas of competition could limit our acquisition of new subscriptions and retention of existing subscriptions, or may lead to diminishing ARPU or an increase in our costs and expenses.
(2)  
Current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could affect our financial condition and limit our growth.
(3)  
The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
(4)  
Limitations in the amount of frequency spectrum or facilities made available to us could negatively affect our ability to maintain and improve our service quality and level of customer satisfaction.
(5)  
Other mobile service providers in the world may not adopt the technologies that are compatible with those used by our corporate group’s mobile communications system on a continual basis, which could affect our ability to sufficiently offer international services.
(6)  
Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.
(7)  
As electronic payment capability and many other new features are built into our cellular phones/devices, and services of parties other than those belonging to our corporate group are provided through our cellular handsets/devices, potential problems resulting from malfunctions, defects or loss of handsets/devices, or imperfection of services provided by such other parties may arise, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
(8)  
Social problems that could be caused by misuse of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.
(9)  
Inadequate handling of confidential business information including personal information by our corporate group, contractors and others, may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.
(10)  
Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
(11)  
Events and incidents caused by natural disasters, social infrastructure paralysis such as power shortages, proliferation of harmful substances, terror or other destructive acts, the malfunctioning of equipment or software bugs, deliberate incidents induced by computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause failure in our networks, distribution channels and/or other factors necessary for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers, and may adversely affect our credibility and/or corporate image, or lead to a reduction of revenues and/or increase of costs.
(12)  
Concerns about adverse health effects arising from wireless telecommunications may spread and consequently may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
(13)  
Our parent company, NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU ^ MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription. ^ 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 wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. 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. This definition applies to all ARPU figures herein. ^ Aggregate ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^^^ Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^ Aggregate ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA) ^^^ Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)^ ^ Aggregate ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova) ^^^Packet ARPU (mova): Packet ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova) ^ Active Subscrptions 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 service, Phone Number Storage and Mail Address Storage service are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.
