In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, while the US economy was buoyant and there were also indications of recovery in Europe, there was only modest growth overall in the global economy due to a slowdown in China and other emerging countries. Against a backdrop of government and other policy stimulus measures, the Japanese economy continued to make a gentle recovery, centered around domestic demand.

In the information and telecommunications market, optical broadband services, LTE services and Wi-Fi- based broadband speeds, as well as the permeation of smartphones, tablets and various other devices have all increased, and the use of social media and cloud services continued to expand. There has also been a worldwide trend of various new participants, in addition to telecommunications companies, entering the market, and rapid growth in the variety and sophistication of services.

In light of these circumstances, NTT Group worked to expand its global cloud services and strengthen its network service competitiveness in line with its Medium-Term Management Strategy adopted in November 2012, entitled “Towards the Next Stage.”

 

   

Expansion of Global Cloud Services

NTT Group worked to expand its provision of global cloud services by taking advantage of its strengths as a corporate group to provide comprehensive cloud services from the information and telecommunications platforms stage, such as data centers and the IP backbone, to the ICT management and applications stage.

In the field of research and development, a new research and development base, NTT Innovation Institute, Inc. (NTT I3), was established in North America—the most competitive market—in order to rapidly develop and bring to market top-level global security and cloud technologies. The unique consulting tools developed by NTT I3 have led to the receipt of new orders from customers.

To reinforce the structure by which global cloud services are provided, NTT Group acquired the following subsidiaries: security services provider Solutionary, Inc. (head office: United States), data center service provider RagingWire Data Centers (head office: United States), and network service provider Virtela Technology Services Incorporated (head office: United States). To strengthen the provision of teleconferencing services, NTT Group acquired Arkadin International SAS (head office: France), a provider of teleconference, Web conference and video conference services in 32 countries worldwide. In addition, NTT Group acquired everis Group (head office: Spain), a comprehensive provider of ICT services, to strengthen NTT Group’s operating base in Europe and Latin America.

In order to strengthen its provision of data center services, NTT Group established new data centers in Hong Kong, which has a high concentration of financial institutions with significant requirements for high-quality and stable ICT environments, as well as in Malaysia, where there is little impact from natural disasters, and in Tokyo, with its highly convenient transportation systems. The strengths of these data centers include safe facilities and high-quality networks.

Various NTT Group companies collaborated to obtain orders from companies such as Yum! Brands, Inc. (head office: United States), one of the world’s largest restaurant chain operators, whose portfolio includes Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, for the provision of cloud-based collective systems for operations and outsourcing services, and from the Texas Department of Transportation, for optimization solutions and operation services for its core systems.

Strengthening Network Service Competitiveness

In the fixed-line communications field, NTT Group worked to increase new subscriptions for its FLET’S Hikari service, including provision of the new service “Donto wari,” which offers subscribers a discount on monthly charges commencing from the start of use for a maximum of two years.

In the mobile communications field, NTT Group worked to expand the use of smartphones, including the launch of sales of the iPhone*, and at the same time further expanded the service area of its Xi service (LTE service). In addition, NTT Group launched a Quad-Band LTE service supporting the following four frequency bands: 800MHz, 1.5GHz, 1.7GHz and 2GHz, providing an environment with even greater network convenience for users.

To strengthen competitiveness in network services, NTT Group endeavored to cut costs in fixed-line and mobile communications services. Specifically, NTT Group has worked to further enhance infrastructure efficiency by introducing high-performance equipment and by making effective use of existing equipment, while cutting the cost of laying optical transmission lines by increasing construction projects that do not require the dispatch of NTT employees and working to further improve the efficiency of its maintenance and operations business.

 

   

Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

In order to contribute to the sustainable development of society, NTT Group companies undertook a range of activities and engaged in proactive information disclosure based on the eight Priority Activities of the “NTT Group CSR Priority Activities” plan and quantitative indicators, which were established in accordance with the “NTT Group CSR Charter” to promote collective group initiatives.

Specifically, to “contribute to a sustainable society by providing customers with value,” NTT Group’s solutions, which enable the resolution of issues, including those associated with Japan’s aging population and lack of medical resources, while also facilitating continuity of medical operations in the event of a natural disaster, were adopted, constructed and deployed in the Ishinomaki/Kesennuma medical care districts of Miyagi Prefecture.

Furthermore, as a result of NTT Group’s initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases utilizing ICT as a means of “creating a low-carbon society,” NTT Group was recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the world’s largest organization for the evaluation of companies in the context of climate change issues, as one of the leading companies in Japan for climate change disclosure. NTT Group was also the only Japanese telecommunications provider to achieve a position in the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI).

Moreover, NTT Group continued to promote initiatives aimed at “securing high-level stability and reliability in key infrastructure,” including improving the earthquake resistance and water resistance of exchange offices and re-examining transmission lines in light of lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake.

As a result of the above efforts, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were 10,925.2 billion yen (an increase of 2.1% from the previous fiscal year). Consolidated operating expenses were 9,711.5 billion yen (an increase of 2.2% from the previous fiscal year). As a result, consolidated operating income was 1,213.7 billion yen (an increase of 1.0% from the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes was 1,294.2 billion yen (an increase of 8.1% from the previous fiscal year), and consolidated net income attributable to NTT was 585.5 billion yen (an increase of 12.2% from the previous fiscal year).

The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 is as follows: operating revenues of 11,200.0 billion yen (an increase of 2.5% year-over-year), operating income of 1,215.0 billion yen (an increase of 0.1% year-over-year), income before income taxes of 1,195.0 billion yen (a decrease of 7.7% year-over-year), and net income attributable to NTT of 586.0 billion yen (an increase of 0.1% year-over-year).

 

Notes: 1. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

           2. Figures from the same period of the previous fiscal year have been revised due to the effect of the retrospective application of the equity method to investments.

Pursuant to its Medium-Term Management Strategy “Towards the Next Stage,” NTT Group has worked on research and development on fundamental technologies that contribute to the provision of safe and secure cloud services, the realization of an enjoyable user experience for each and every user, and the provision of highly competitive network services, to contribute toward realizing a more comfortable and enriched society serviced by a wide range of devices connected to the cloud. NTT worked to achieve technological development based on market trends and formulate business plans through the “General Production System” to promptly commercialize the results of its research and development. In addition, to create new value, NTT promoted open innovation through collaboration with other companies and engaged in cutting-edge future-oriented research.

 

 

Research & Development Contributing to the Provision of Safe and Secure Cloud Services

 

   

By participating in the community that develops the open source software “OpenStack” to build a cloud computing platform, NTT Group efficiently met its customers’ requirements and developed functions for differentiating NTT Group from its competitors, contributing to the early provision of a user- friendly cloud service in which customers can effortlessly put in place their network architectures in the cloud.

 

   

NTT became the world’s first company to develop a statistical analysis system incorporating Secure Computation Technologies at the commercial level as a security platform for the secure use of cloud services, which enables confidential data to undergo statistical processing while maintaining the confidentiality of the data.

In the big data field, where the privacy of personal data is paramount, NTT Group developed an anonymization system that maintains the usability of personal data while ensuring advanced security.

 

   

To promote further dissemination of Jubatus, an open source processing platform for real-time analytical processing of big data, NTT launched a support service to provide installation and operational support in response to customer requests.

 

 

Research & Development Contributing to Realizing a Superior User Experience

 

   

Against a background of growing requirements for the distribution of ultra-high definition 4K and 8K video, NTT developed compression software that offers the highest level of video compression performance in the world.

 

   

NTT developed “Dialogue Engine” technology that enables natural conversation between humans and computers, through computers’ correct recognition of the conversation topic and context, and creation and selection of responses from a vast amount of data.

 

 

Research & Development Contributing to Provision of Highly Competitive Network Services

 

   

To strengthen its network service competitiveness, NTT undertook research and development aimed at realizing carrier networks that utilize virtualization technology, including developing technology for achieving highly reliable network services on an inexpensive general-purpose server, technology that automatically provides necessary services in a flexible and rapid manner, and elemental technology to realize the world’s fastest transfer speeds on a general-purpose server using a software switch.

 

   

NTT continued to develop “edge computing technology”—the installation of an edge server close to smartphones or other devices to disperse certain processes. This is a new form of network technology used for the provision of services required in real time and traffic reduction between M2M equipment involving frequent communications and servers. It is also used for achieving faster application speeds in a way that is not equipment-dependent.

 

   

Based on lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT has developed an “ICT Car,” a vehicle that provides the apparatus necessary for the provision of an ICT environment for telecommunications and information processing, etc. in compact form, to enable the immediate recovery of communications in the event of a natural disaster.

 

 

Promoting Open Innovation

 

   

NTT collaborated with Toray Industries, Inc. to develop the advanced nanofiber material “hitoe,” a fabric coated with a conductive resin which, when worn, can acquire the wearer’s biometric information such as heart rate and electrocardiogram waveform.

 

   

In partnership with DWANGO Co., Ltd., NTT created an immersive visual experience through the high-quality distribution of images from ceiling-wide cameras installed in the Nicofarre performance venue, and developed viewing quality optimization technology that optimizes quality during the distribution of images according to customers’ equipment environment and the degree of network congestion.

 

   

Through joint research with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), NTT succeeded in the world’s first microwave electric-field measurement in plasma within a microwave discharge ion engine using on-board asteroid probes, etc., utilizing a sensor combining optical fiber and electro-optic crystal, thereby contributing to the understanding of the plasma production mechanism.

 

 

Promoting Advanced Research

 

   

NTT developed “Buru-Navi 3,” a far more compact version of its “Buru-Navi” technology that uses the characteristics of human perception to guide the user by generating the sense of being drawn along by special vibrations.

 

   

NTT developed a novel integration technology based on nanophotonics, the first of its kind in the world, aimed at a drastic reduction in power consumption in the ICT field, which makes it possible to replace the electrical wiring on a processor chip with a high-density optical network.

 

   

NTT developed sensor equipment incorporating a wireless circuit operating at nanowatt-level (1 nanowatt = 1 billionth of 1 watt ) power consumption, with the goal of realizing new services utilizing sensor equipment that requires less maintenance.

 

- 6 -


As a result of these research and development activities, NTT’s total expenditures on research and development during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were 119.9 billion yen (a decrease of 5.6% from the previous fiscal year), and NTT received basic research and development revenues of 114.4 billion yen (a decrease of 5.4% from the previous fiscal year) as compensation for these research and development activities.

[3] Share Ownership and Exercise of Voting Rights

NTT exercises its rights as a shareholder based on the principle that each group company should conduct its business activities in line with NTT Group’s policies and objectives, while maintaining its independence and autonomy. When exercising voting rights as a shareholder at the general shareholders’ meetings of each group company during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, NTT determined that the business practices, financial conditions, retained earnings, and other conditions during the previous consolidated fiscal year (the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013) were appropriate and, accordingly, NTT voted to approve the disposition of unappropriated retained earnings based on proposals from each group company as well as the election of directors and other matters. As a result, NTT received 288.1 billion yen in dividends (an increase of 1.9% from the previous fiscal year).

As a result of the above, NTT’s operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were 430.8 billion yen (a decrease of 0.4% from the previous fiscal year), recurring profit was 277.3 billion yen (an increase of 1.1% from the previous fiscal year), and net income was 279.2 billion yen (an increase of 2.8% from the previous fiscal year).

In the other business segment, due to increased revenues in the finance business, increased revenues in the real estate business as a result of an increase in the number of apartments delivered and increased revenues in the construction and power businesses, consolidated operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were 1,328.5 billion yen (an increase of 6.1% from the previous fiscal year). On the other hand, consolidated operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 were 1,272.4 billion yen (an increase of 6.1% from the previous fiscal year) due to, among other things, an increase in revenue-linked expenses. As a result, consolidated operating income was 56.1 billion yen (an increase of 5.3% from the previous fiscal year).

(2) Analysis of Financial Position

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 was 2,727.9 billion yen. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash flow increased 274.2 billion yen (11.2%) due to, among other factors, a decrease in payments of sales commissions to resellers in addition to the impact from the bank holidays.

Consolidated cash flow from investment activities amounted to 2,106.8 billion yen in cash outlays. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays increased 330.6 billion yen (18.6%). This increase was due to, among other factors, a decrease in income from the redemption of short-term investments associated with cash management activities exceeding three months in duration and an increase in payments for the purchase of non- current investments and other such investments, despite a decrease in capital investments.

Consolidated cash flow from financing activities amounted to cash outlays of 622.4 billion yen. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays decreased 122.7 billion yen (16.5%). This decrease was due to, among

other factors, an increase in borrowings that offset an increase in stock repurchases.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 totaled 984.5 billion yen, an increase of 23.0 billion yen (2.4%) compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

(3) Basic Policy Concerning Profit Distribution; Dividends in the Current Term and Next Term

In addition to increasing corporate value over the medium- and long-term, NTT has identified the return of profits to shareholders as an important management goal. In determining the level of dividends, NTT, while giving consideration to stability and sustainability, takes into account a full range of factors, including business performance, financial standing and dividend payout ratio.

It is planned that dividends for the current annual period will be 170 yen per share, comprising a 90-yen end-of-term dividend and a 80-yen interim dividend. For the next annual period, dividends are planned to be 180 yen for the full year.

While maintaining a good financial standing and as part of a capital policy to improve capital efficiency, NTT intends to use internal funds for investments in new business opportunities.

3. BUSINESS OPERATION POLICY

(1) Basic Business Operation Policy and Medium-Term Management Objectives

For over 100 years, NTT Group has been the mainstay behind the growth and development of Japanese telecommunications; this track record, the confidence that comes with it, and one of the world’s leading R&D capabilities serve as the foundation from which we will “continue to provide safe and secure services, and continue to always earn the trust of our customers and stakeholders.” In order to do so, we will fulfill the legal responsibilities and social mission demanded of each of our businesses in a market environment characterized by intense competition, and at the same time move proactively to develop our businesses to meet the needs of the diversifying and expanding ICT industry. Our aim is for sustainable development backed always by a high level of trust from both our customers and our shareholders.

In furtherance of this basic business operation policy, in November 2012, NTT Group formulated its Medium-Term Strategy, entitled “Towards the Next Stage,” in order to respond to the increasingly faster globalization of the market and the development of cloud services. Based on this new management strategy, NTT Group will make global cloud services, which are expected to grow going forward, the cornerstone of its efforts to accelerate global business development, support the transformation of the business models of its corporate customers and to provide support for the various lifestyles of individual customers. Through these efforts, NTT Group will promote collaboration and innovation with various customers, endeavor to become the “valued partner” that customers continue to select, and contribute to the development of society.

(2) Issues Facing the Corporate Group

In terms of the overall global economy, the trend of gradual recovery is expected to continue, with the United States and China expected to stage a gradual recovery, and Europe also expected to move toward recovery. The recovery of the Japanese economy is also expected to continue, underpinned by the positive effects of various government policy measures.

A number of both domestic and foreign companies have entered the information and telecommunications market, and as services and equipment rapidly diversify and become increasingly sophisticated, changes in the market, centered around cloud services, are expected to accelerate going forward. Moreover, fierce market competition above and beyond existing business sector boundaries is expected to further intensify globally.

Based on the Medium-Term Management Strategy “Toward the Next Stage,” NTT Group is committed to creating new services and generating business opportunities through collaboration with a wide range of market players with the aim of becoming a “valued partner” that customers continue to choose over others.

Specifically, NTT Group will implement the following initiatives.

- Expansion of Global Cloud Services

NTT Group continues to provide cloud migration services to meet its customers’ wide-ranging needs, including pre-migration consulting and post-migration operations and management, and will work to further strengthen the framework for its provision of a broad lineup of global cloud services, from the information and telecommunications platforms stage, such as networks and data centers, through to cloud platforms, ICT management and applications.

In addition, to address the critical issue of security, which relates to the safe and secure use of cloud services, NTT Group will work to implement effective and efficient research and development by promoting collaboration among NTT Group research and development bases including NTT I3, which was established during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, and with external business partners.

As a result of the above, NTT aims to reach US$20 billion in overseas sales by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, which reached US$12.2 billion by the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, and to increase the proportion of corporate sales represented by overseas sales, which reached 36.6% at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, to 50% or more by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.

 

- 20 -


- Strengthening Network Service Competitiveness

In the fixed-line communications field, NTT Group aims to achieve further penetration and expansion of fiber-optic lines by creating new lifestyle-based ICT use scenarios. In the mobile communications field, NTT Group is aiming to further strengthen “devices,” “networks,” “services” and “charges and channels.”

In addition, NTT Group will work to control capital investment as appropriate according to changes in business models and the market. To handle rapidly increasing traffic volumes, NTT Group will seek to anticipate fluctuations in demand and promote research and development aimed at realizing technologies that can be efficiently controlled by software, thereby building efficient infrastructure. NTT Group will also work to establish streamlined, highly efficient business operations through continued efforts to cut costs associated with laying optical transmission lines by increasing construction projects that do not require the dispatch of NTT employees, and to further improve the efficiency of its maintenance and operations business.

As a result of the above efforts, NTT Group expects to further reduce fixed-line and mobile communications services-related costs, which it cut by ¥412.0 billion as of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. NTT Group will continue to comprehensively strengthen the competitiveness of its existing network services.

In addition to the foregoing, NTT Group aims to reduce its capex to sales ratio, which was 16.7% at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, to 15% by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 through drastic streamlining of capital investments. Funds generated through increased efficiency will be utilized effectively in areas such as M&A focused on cloud services and on returns to shareholders.

Through these efforts, NTT Group will work toward earnings per share (EPS) growth of 60% or more (compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012) by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.

- Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Based on its social mission to contribute to society through ICT in order to help resolve the many social issues that exist both in and outside Japan, NTT Group will continue to make a collective effort to promote CSR in accordance with the guidelines set out in the “NTT Group CSR Charter.” NTT Group will also work to increase management transparency by further enhancing the content of CSR reports and website content and promoting information disclosure relating to NTT Group’s initiatives.

With respect to environmental issues, which are a global concern, NTT Group will work to reduce the environmental burden associated with its own business activities and contribute to reducing the environmental burden on society as a whole through the utilization of ICT services, and will further undertake environmental contribution initiatives involving NTT Group employees.

Furthermore, in light of the extent of the predicted damage expected to occur as a result of a future large-scale earthquake, NTT Group will work to achieve stable network operation by promoting initiatives that include ensuring power supply for telecommunication facilities in the event of prolonged power outages. NTT Group also plans to build security countermeasures necessary to handle wide-scale and diversified cyberattacks.

(5) Going Concern Assumption

None

(6) Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of NTT have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), etc.).

Principal Accounting Policies, etc.

Marketable Securities

ASC320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” applies.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of telecommunications equipment to be sold is determined by the first-in first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally using the declining- balance method with the exception of buildings for which the straight-line method is used.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

ASC350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” applies.

Liability for Employees Retirement Benefits

ASC715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” applies.

Derivative Financial Instruments

ASC815, “Derivatives and Hedging” applies.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed based on income before income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. According to the asset and liability approach, the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and of operating loss carryforward are recognized as deferred tax assets or liabilities.

(7) Change in Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Change in accounting estimate

Effective April 1, 2013, NTT Group has revised its estimate of the expected useful life of metal cables based on actual utilization to reflect an extended expected useful life. This modification complies with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and will be applied going forward as a change in accounting estimates.

The financial impact from this change in accounting estimate on the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 to “Income before income taxes and equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies,” “Net income attributable to NTT” and “Per share of common stock” of “Net income attributable to NTT” is ¥23,264 million, ¥14,392 million, and ¥12.52, respectively.

Retrospective application of equity method for an investee

As a result of the application of the equity method for NTT Group’s investment in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company from the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2013, the equity method of accounting was applied retrospectively, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, issued by the FASB. Consequently, the reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 have been revised in NTT Group’s consolidated financial statements for this retrospective application as follows.

The impact on major items on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 was a ¥140,512 million increase in “Investments in affiliated companies,” a ¥303,601 million decrease in “Marketable securities and other investments,” a ¥58,467 million increase in “Deferred income taxes” under “Investments and other assets” and a ¥85,456 million decrease in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

The impact on major items on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2013 was a ¥3,452 million decrease in “Other, net” under “Other income (expenses),” a ¥1,614 million increase in “Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies” and a ¥2,139 million decrease in “Net income attributable to NTT.”

The impact on “Net income attributable to NTT” under “Per share of common stock” was a decrease of ¥1.77.

Reclassifications

Effective as of the three months ended June 30, 2013, in connection with NTT Group’s current state of business and initiatives such as efforts to expand into new business areas in the mobile communications business, NTT has reclassified, among other things, part of its Mobile Voice Related Services revenues and IP/Packet Communications Services revenues as Other revenues, and part of its Other revenues as System Integration revenues. Results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 have been revised reflect such reclassification.

(12) Investments In Affiliated Companies

“Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 includes impairment losses of ¥51,244 million, recognized on Indian telecommunications carrier Tata Teleservices Limited (“TTSL”).

(13) Subsequent Events

Decision to exercise option for sale of stake in TTSL

On April 25, 2014, the board of directors of NTT DOCOMO, a subsidiary of NTT, resolved to exercise option for the sale of NTT DOCOMO’s entire stake (1,248,974,378 shares, or about 26.5% of outstanding shares) in TTSL, a NTT DOCOMO-affiliated company accounted for by the equity method, as soon as the conditions for such exercise are met.

NTT DOCOMO, TTSL and Tata Sons Limited, Tata Group’s holding company, concluded a shareholder agreement when NTT DOCOMO entered into a business alliance with TTSL in March 2009. Under the agreement, NTT DOCOMO holds the right to require that its TTSL shares be acquired for 50% of the acquisition price, which amounts to 72,500 million Indian rupees (or ¥125,400 million*) or a fair market price, whichever is higher, in the event that TTSL fails to achieve certain specified performance targets (the above-mentioned option).

In the event that TTSL fails to achieve these performance targets by the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, NTT DOCOMO plans to exercise the above-mentioned right in or before June 2014. NTT DOCOMO expects to sell its TTSL shares in accordance with the agreement. It is uncertain how the option will be performed, however, and NTT DOCOMO is not able to predict how events will unfold. An estimate of this financial effect cannot be made due to these uncertainties. NTT may recognize gain or loss upon disposition of TTSL shares or if the transaction as described above will not be carried out.

 

* 1 rupee = ¥1.73 as of March 31, 2014

NTT DOCOMO’s resolution of share repurchase up to prescribed maximum limit

On April 25, 2014, the board of directors of NTT DOCOMO, a subsidiary of NTT, resolved that NTT DOCOMO may repurchase up to 320 million shares of its common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥500 billion during the period from April 26, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

Resolution regarding NTT’s repurchase of its common stock

On May 13, 2014, the board of directors of NTT resolved that NTT may acquire up to 44 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥250 billion from July 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

FY2013 Consolidated Results Highlights and Forecasts (U.S. GAAP)

NTT as a group made up for the decrease in Operating Income of its mobile communications and data communications businesses and as a result, Operating Revenues and Operating Income both increased. Net Income reached a six-year peak.

Both Operating Revenues and Operating Income fell short of FY2013 forecasts due to the decrease in Operating Income in the mobile communications business.

Achieved EPS of 509.21 yen, an increase of 18% year-on-year.

Consolidated Results and Forecasts (U.S. GAAP)

FY2013 Contributing Factors by Segment

Regional communications business: Operating Income increased due to, among other things, efforts to limit Hikari subscription cancellations, improvements in business efficiency, and a decrease in pension costs.

Long-distance and international communications business: Operating Income increased due to growth in NTT’s overseas business and improvements in cost efficiency.

Mobile communications business: Although strong iPhone sales mitigated mobile number portability (MNP) losses to an extent, Operating Income decreased due to, among other things, “Monthly Support” discount programs.

Data communications business: Despite the effect of unprofitable business deals, the decline in profit margins slowed due to cost reductions in the latter half of the year.

Calculation of ARPU

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to each designated service on a per user basis. In the case of NTT Group’s fixed-line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of NTT

Group’s regional communications business segment, that is, telephone subscriber lines, “INS-NET” and “FLET’S Hikari,” by the number of Active Subscribers to the relevant services.

In the case of NTT Group’s mobile communications business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in operating revenues from its mobile communications business segment, such as revenues from FOMA mobile phone services and Xi mobile phone services, that are incurred consistently each month (i.e., basic monthly charges and voice/packet transmission charges), by the number of Active Subscribers to the relevant services. The calculation of these figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage, such as telecommunications equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

NTT believes that its ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of its subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of NTT Group’s ARPU figures are based on its financial results comprising its U.S. GAAP results of operations.

Notes

(1) We compute the following four categories of ARPU for business conducted by each of NTT East and NTT West.

Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines): Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and INS-NET Subscriber Lines, which are included in operating revenues from Voice Transmission Services (excluding IP Services), and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL” and “FLET’S ISDN,” which are included in operating revenues from IP Services.

Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL.”INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for “INS-NET” Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ISDN.”

FLET’S Hikari ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” (including “FLET’S Hikari” optional services), which are included in operating revenues from IP Services, revenues from monthly charges, call charges and connection device charges for “Hikari Denwa,” and revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” optional services, which are included in Supplementary Business revenues.

“FLET’S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.

Commencing in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, NTT East and NTT West began including in their respective FLET’S Hikari ARPU calculations revenues from NTT East’s and NTT West’s “FLET’S VPN WIDE” virtual private network option. These revenues are part of NTT East’s and NTT West’s operating revenues from IP services. As a result of this new calculation methodology, NTT East’s and NTT West’s

FLET’S Hikari ARPU for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 include revenues of 20 yen for NTT East and NTT West from “FLET’S VPN WIDE.” (2)Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU, INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.

(3) For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for each service.

(4) In terms of number of channels, transmission rate, and line use rate (base rate), INS-Net 1500 is in all cases roughly ten times greater than INS-Net 64. For this reason, for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS-Net 64 subscriptions.

(5) For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, number of subscribers is determined based on the number of “FLET’S Hikari” subscribers, including subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.

(6) The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO.

Mobile Aggregate ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) = Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”).

NTT DOCOMO’s Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services, and our Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as flat monthly fees and packet communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services and our Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues from a part of Other Operating Revenues attributable to “FOMA” and “Xi” wireless communications services (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others).

(7) Communications module service, phone number storage service, mail address storage service and docomo Business Transceiver subscribers and the revenues therefrom are not included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU. (8) Number of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the U.S. was stable, and Europe showed signs of recovery, but the economies of China and other emerging nations slowed, so the overall pace of growth of the global economy was gradual. The Japanese economy continued to show signs of mild recovery driven mainly by domestic demand, stimulated by the effects of government policies.

The information and communications market is growing due to an increasing shift to broadband services and globalization. The market is undergoing structural changes beyond the existing framework, including fixed-mobile convergence, cloud computing(*1) and smart TV development, penetration of high-speed wireless and Wi-Fi(*2) compatible devices, such as smartphones and tablet devices, and widespread use of applications that enable free phone calls and messaging. Regional telecommunications markets are also changing dramatically, with intensifying competition in broadband service facilities and services centered around the shift to fiber-optic access, and increasing offloading(*3) needs due to the expansion of the volume of data communications. New services that leverage a variety of wireless devices are also expanding, which in turn leads to diversification in the way that customers are using these devices.

Amid such a difficult and volatile business environment, as a carrier with an important leadership role in the information and communications industry, NTT East strove to ensure that it strictly complies with any applicable rules and regulations, abiding by the requirements of fair competition. At the same time, NTT East has aimed to secure a stable and solid foundation for its business, worked to provide high-quality, stable universal services and aimed to ensure the reliability in social infrastructure, such as the prompt restoration of services in times of large-scale natural disasters and other calamities.

In line with NTT Group’s Medium-Term Management Strategy “Towards the Next Stage” adopted by NTT in November 2012, NTT East has devoted its energy to enhancing broadband/ubiquitous environments and to expanding fiber-optic access service user demographics through the provision of new services and products, as well as the provision of customer-friendly rate menus and rate menus which encourage subscribers to use its services for longer terms.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP Services

Amid intensifying competition with respect to broadband services, NTT East launched new services, which promote the expansion and continued use of “FLET’S Hikari”(*4) and aim to meet customer needs when using their Wi-Fi-compatible devices.

Ever since “FLET’S Hikari” was launched in 2001 as “B-FLET’S,” the service has become ever faster and cheaper, with an enhanced product lineup. Through proactive initiatives, such as forming alliances with a variety of vendors, and by working hard to expand the range of situations where optical fiber can be used, NTT East reached 10 million subscribers on October 12, 2013.

i. NTT East’s largest-ever discount campaign, “Omoikkiri-Wari,” for customers who newly subscribe to “FLET’S Hikari,” was started in December 2012, and continued until the end of January 2014. Starting in October 2013, the “FLET’S Hikari Light Family Type” was added to the services covered by this campaign.

In addition, to encourage communication between people living alone and their other family members, NTT East started the “Tanshin & Kazoku O-en Wari,” offering discounted monthly fees for the “FLET’S Hikari” service for groups on a single bill.

Further, to meet the needs of corporate customers, NTT East began offering, in limited geographic areas, the “FLET’S Hikari Next Prio,” with bandwidth priority that enables stable, high-speed, high-quality communications, even at times of network congestion.

ii. In order to increase the use of smart TV services, NTT East launched the TSUTAYA Stick(*6), a smart TV device that allows the video streaming service TSUTAYA TV(*5) offered by T-MEDIA HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. to be used with FLET’S Hikari. This service makes it easier for customers to enjoy their favorite movies and television dramas at home over the Internet.

iii. NTT East introduced the “FLET’S Azukeru” online storage service(*7), by which customers can store and share on the Internet various types of data, such as photos and videos, etc. they have stored on their PCs, smartphones and tablets. They can also perform automatic backups of data at set intervals. Stored data can be accessed from anywhere using a mobile device through indoor / outdoor Wi-Fi, therefore increasing customer convenience.

iv. NTT East also initiated its “Rakureji” tablet POS service(*8), allowing retailers to manage their sales and accounting on the cloud network. Compared with conventional POS registers, this costs less and uses less space, and in addition, increased convenience as a result of the tangible operation involved when using a tablet.

NTT East also began offering “Raku Pop Board,” a digital signage service that can support a wide range of POP advertising(*9), transmitting video and image content and other information to tablets in a timely fashion.

v. With the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets, NTT East worked with local governments and other public agencies in Yamanashi Prefecture and the Tohoku region to provide Wi-Fi environments in tourist destinations and commercial areas and which foreign tourists can also access. As a result, NTT East has enhanced user convenience by enabling visitors from overseas and others to access information distributed by tourism centers, stores, and lodging facilities. NTT East has also worked with Recruit Lifestyle Co. Ltd. on a trial offer of a free application for tourists in Hakone, one of Japan’s premier tourist destinations, called “Tabi-Navi Hakone.” This app uses geo-fence technology(*10) to deliver information and special offers concerning tourists’ locations to tourists automatically to their smartphones, so they can plan their trip and time more effectively, and enjoy travel in a new way. For tourist destinations and retailers, this service offers a new way to attract customers, by guiding them directly to shops and hotels.

vi. As online shopping has become more and more a part of everyday life, NTT East has developed “FLET’S Hikari Otoku Market,” on the website of the “FLET’S Hikari Member’s Club,” a membership program for “FLET’S Hikari” users, to enable people of all ages to take advantage of secure and convenient online shopping. This new service allows members to buy everyday products offered by participating companies at special prices, or with specific benefits attached. Operators of NTT East also offer support services, so that even users who are new to the Internet can be at ease when they shop online.

(2) Initiatives Relating to the Solutions Business

NTT East launched business operations in fields such as local government, medicine, and education, centered around industry-specific solutions that take into account each industry’s characteristics and trends, for the satisfaction of its regional customers through the promotion of ICT(*11) utilization.

i. In the field of local government, NTT East launched “Biz Hikari Cloud Anpi Kakunin Service,” a service that allows officials to verify government workers’ well-being during major disasters. This service uses applications that were proven to be reliable and effective when access was needed to large quantities of data during the Great East Japan Earthquake. NTT East provides this service from its Biz Hikari cloud platform installed in data centers, which are built to withstand powerful earthquakes up to magnitude 6 (on the Japanese Shindo scale). This service provides reassurance that officials can confirm workers’ safety and make emergency contact even at times of major disasters.

ii. In the field of medicine, NTT East launched “Biz Hikari Cloud Future Clinic 21Warp,” an electronic records service for medical clinics, as it has become increasingly important for local hospitals and clinics to collaborate and provide integrated patient treatment. This new service helps keep initial implementation costs down, while allowing medical clinics to enter data in the electronic records as easily as writing by hand. Electronic medical records are centrally managed and stored at data centers which provides for disaster countermeasures and risk management, enhancing convenience for medical clinics.

iii. In the field of education, NTT East is working with elementary and junior high schools to ease the massive administrative burden of educators and has continued to provide total support for the installation, operation and maintenance of in-school administrative systems. In consideration of requests by the customers of such services, NTT East has started offering an elementary and junior high school administration support service(*12) called “Biz Hikari Cloud Omakase Kohmu.” Offering this service on a cloud platform helps educators keep initial implementation costs low, take less time installing systems, and make the service easier to use.

For educational systems(*13) used as core systems in the university sector, there is a growing need for cloud computing as a means of easing the burden of systems management, reducing costs and following its business continuity plan (BCP). NTT East is working to realize these goals, agreeing to collaborate with educational systems specialists Japan System Technology Co., SystemD Inc. and NTT Data Kyushu Corp. to make cloud computing a reality in this context.

iv. As the new lineup for “Office Marugoto Support,” the support service for small- to medium-sized businesses, NTT East began offering “IT Support Type I” to customers who use an Internet connection besides “FLET’S Hikari,” and “Fukugouki Omakase Support,” for customers who use multifunction printers.

(3) Status of Business Operation Structure

Regarding the structure of NTT East’s business operations, in July 2013, NTT East reorganized its head office structure, in order to respond to the rapidly changing market environment and business environment, provide services based on customer needs on a timely basis, create new business markets, and to make business operations even more efficient.

From the perspective of responding to a rapidly changing environment, the main details of this reorganization were revisions to the service development systems on a market-by-market basis, such that the company now has four divisions. The New Business Development Headquarters was established, with a unified grasp of the full range of the company’s activities from development of services for consumers and business users to marketing (pre-sales); to enhance the company’s sales power and productivity, the Sales Promotion Headquarters now covers sales of services to mass users and SOHOs; the Corporate Sales Promotion Headquarters handles sales of services and solutions for business users; and the Network Business Promotion Headquarters handles development, design, construction and maintenance of network equipment.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility Activities

NTT East considers Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) activities to be one of the most important pillars in the management of the company. NTT East believes that it is the social responsibility of a company to contribute to the environmentally-friendly, healthy and sustainable development of society. To this end, pursuant to the NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006), NTT East sought to comply with the law and address its efforts towards reducing the environmental burden of its operations.

i. NTT East continued to direct its efforts towards compliance with laws and regulations to ensure fair competition, protect personal information, make correct representations in advertising, and regarding the dispatch of workers. As part of our ongoing efforts to raise employee awareness, following the arrest and indictment of an employee on suspicion of violating the Act concerning Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, etc. (“NTT Law”) in December 2013, NTT East has redoubled its efforts to strengthen checks on contract operations, raise employee awareness, and prevent recurrence.

ii. In view of the national state of supply and demand of electricity, NTT East worked, as it did in the last fiscal year, to save electricity used by communication facilities to the greatest extent possible while ensuring the maintenance of communications services. To conserve power in its own offices, NTT East added to its energy conservation efforts to date by expanding installation of thin client systems, installing LED lighting, and making further efforts to conserve electricity.

iii. To realize CSR activities befitting its position as the leading company in Japan’s information and communications industry, NTT East established the “Shape the NTT East Group Is Aiming For,” worked to achieve greater penetration of the “NTT Group CSR Charter,” and strove to set up specific practices for the PDCA cycle based on key performance indicators (KPI *14). As a result, the NTT East Group succeeded in systematically establishing a new framework for its CSR activities

iv. To promote the principles of such CSR activities, NTT East issued the NTT East Group CSR Report 2013, among other things, to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

(5) Efforts towards Improved Reliability and a Full-fledged Restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake

i. In efforts directed towards full-fledged restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT East worked to further improve service reliability, moving exchange offices that were hit by the tsunami to higher ground.

ii. In addition, to prepare for an earthquake directly beneath Tokyo, NTT East is working with local governments and the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and other companies in the NTT Group in disaster training programs to strengthen cooperation and enhance disaster-response skills.

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the U.S. was stable, and Europe showed signs of recovery, but the economies of China and other emerging nations slowed, so the overall pace of growth of the global economy was gradual. The Japanese economy continued to show signs of mild recovery driven mainly by domestic demand, stimulated by the effects of government policies.

Information and communications services are expected to make significant contributions to invigorating and increasing the efficiency of social and economic activities and to improving lifestyle convenience. Accordingly, the government and the private sector are working in partnership to achieve the development of a ubiquitous broadband network society in which there is an advanced level of utilization of information communication technology (“ICT”). Moreover, the information and telecommunications market is undergoing a structural change as a result of the shift to broadband and globalization, as well as the spread of smartphones, tablets and social media. The market is catering to increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs by, among other things, expanding platform services and cloud services. Regional telecommunications markets are also undergoing significant changes, such as the convergence of fixed and mobile services, and of telecommunications and broadcasting, and the introduction of new services as a result of the use of a diverse range of wireless devices. This is due in part to an increase in competition not only between the providers of fiber-optic access services and cable television-based broadband services but also between the various services made available by faster mobile connections.

Within this challenging and dramatically changing business environment, NTT West strove to ensure the reliability and public utilization in the information and communications market, such as to promote the smooth migration to optical, IP-based networks and to enhance the fiber-optic access network that is the backbone of broadband services, while continuing to provide and maintain high-quality, stable universal services. NTT West also aimed to realize a broadband and ubiquitous network environment that enables customers to connect “anytime, anywhere and with anyone or anything” “in comfort, safety and with peace of mind,” and to provide various reasonably-priced services that match each customer’s patterns of usage.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP services

NTT West worked to provide a more comfortable, safer and more secure next-generation network (NGN) to promote its fiber-optic and IP services. In addition, NTT West was committed to expanding use of optical services, including optical IP telephone and video distribution services that make use of fiber-optic access lines, collaborated with businesses in a variety of fields to create new services, and strove to realize a broadband and ubiquitous network environment, including enhancing Wi-Fi platforms.

NTT West has worked to expand new subscriptions for “FLET’S Hikari,” including the launch of “Donto Wari,” which offers an additional discount to new subscribers of “FLET’S Hikari,” and has also endeavored to enhance the services it offers including products such as “Web Hikari Motto Motto Wari,” which offers an additional discount when new subscribers apply via the official website. Additionally, in the small- and medium-sized business market, NTT West promoted sales of “FLET’S Hikari Light,” and also launched the simple and easy-to-install payment service “FLET’S Smart Pay,” which aims to help stimulate business in downtown stores and further spread and increase use of non-cash payments.

With respect to optical IP telephony, the corporate IP telephone services “Hikari Denwa Office A (Ace),” “Hikari Denwa Office Type” and “Hikari Denwa Business Type” have been well received by customers. The accelerated growth of these services resulted in the total number of subscriptions to the three services exceeding 1.5 million channels in November 2013. NTT West also worked to enhance its content for the “Hikari Denwa” service, including expanding the specifications of its “TV Denwa Choice Teigaku” flat rate service for high-quality video phone calls.

In video distribution services, NTT West launched the next-generation set top box “Hikari BOX+” and provided a wide range of applications using business alliances. Efforts were also made to create new lifestyles, including enhancing the features of “Hikari Danran TV,” which enables space-sharing communication.

NTT West developed ICT-based alliance businesses in a variety of fields, including “Net Super,” which was developed in collaboration with local supermarkets, utilizing “Hikari BOX+,” as well as the launch of “FLET’S de ALSOK,” an autonomous crime prevention service for households, in partnership with Sohgo Security Services Co., Ltd.

NTT West worked to achieve further diffusion and expansion of Wi-Fi services, including the launch of the new “Hikari Portable LTE” rental service to complement its existing “Home Gateway Wireless LAN Card” and “Hikari Portable” services. As a result of these efforts, the number of subscriptions to indoor Wi-Fi services exceeding one million in November 2013. To meet the growing needs of public Wi-Fi access, NTT West worked to increase the number of access points of “FLET’S Spot (web authentication),” a roaming service utilizing other carriers’ public wireless LAN services. In addition, NTT West made efforts to enhance Wi-Fi platforms, including upgrading Wi-Fi environments in collaboration with local governments.

With regard to support services, NTT West launched the “FLET’S Anshin Pack” to provide total support and make customers’ broadband life more convenient. This package comes at a special package price and comprises the existing “Remote Support Service,” “Security Function License Plus” and “Hikari Equipment Guarantee.”

(2) Efforts Concerning Solutions Business

As part of its initiatives for expanding its service coverage for both large businesses as well as small- and medium-sized businesses, NTT West provided a wide range of solutions to facilitate resolution of business issues facing local governments and companies, focused on the “Biz Hikari Cloud” service with its data center and platform service menus.

To expand usage of cloud services, NTT West launched “Smart Connect Managed Server,” a new service as part of the “Biz Hikari Cloud” service lineup. This is a managed hosting service with both cloud scalability and the ability to conveniently use Web and mail functions.

NTT West has several collaborative efforts with local governments. As part of the “Smart Hikari Town Kumamoto” project launched in February 2012 in conjunction with Kumamoto prefecture and Kumamoto city, NTT West conducted a field trial of the “Citizen Participation Hazard Map Creation Service,” and based on the results of the service’s effectiveness and improved awareness of disaster readiness among citizens, a “Local Disaster Preparedness Hazard Map” was added to the “Biz Hikari Cloud” service lineup, allowing local residents to easily create and share local disaster preparedness maps. In addition, based on the results of the “Health Promotion, Monitoring and Lifestyle Support for the Elderly Trial,” monitoring and lifestyle support services were added to the “Senior Life Support Service.” In these ways, by utilizing ICT NTT West has contributed not only to the realization of a safe, secure and convenient lifestyle but also to the revitalization of local areas.

NTT West has also worked to enhance its customer support services for small- and medium-sized businesses, adding the new “Windows XP Data Migration Omakase Plan” to provide on-site support for customers to migrate their PC data as part of “Office Net Omakase Support Service” following termination of Microsoft’s support for Windows XP in April 2014.

(3) Business Operation Structures

In October 2013, the NTT West group carried out a review of its business management structure and established a structure for promoting rapid and efficient group management. In particular, in July 2013, the corporate business structure was restructured, with the “Corporate Business Headquarters” and “Sales Headquarters, Office Department” becoming the “Business Sales Department,” and in October 2013, NTT Business Solutions Corporation was newly established to focus on corporate sales. The purpose of this restructuring is to increase earnings from the business market by seamlessly covering the entire business market – from large, small- and medium-sized businesses to SOHOs – and redirecting management resources to highly profitable markets .

In the area of facility maintenance, NTT West worked to enhance its disaster preparedness framework by conducting blocbased disaster drills to prepare for a large-scale natural disaster such as a typhoon, and a preparedness exercise designed to simulate events in the event of a large earthquake along the Nankai Trough, as well as practical exercises aimed at maintaining and enhancing service quality and strengthening IP service operations. NTT West executed measures to prevent accidents involving facilities, such as planned facility inspections with the goal of eliminating third-party accidents caused by fallen lines. To prevent site accidents involving physical injury, NTT West drew up work safety manuals and promoted safety measures by holding work safety promotion campaigns in NTT West offices.

As part of its comprehensive cost control efforts to maintain profitable management, NTT West worked to further enhance the efficiency of fiber-optic service installation work, including reducing material costs by utilizing terminal equipment and streamlining procurement operations for materials, increasing construction projects that do not require the dispatch of NTT West employees, and reducing the number of back orders resulting from emergency pipe work. NTT West also worked to achieve greater efficiency in its maintenance and operational work, including increasingly having customer repair faults by replacing equipment themselves.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Activities

The “NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006)” stipulates that, as responsible members of the information and communication industry, NTT Group companies will provide services of the highest quality and trust and contribute to the development of a safe, secure and prosperous society where people, society and the earth are connected through communications. Based on the CSR Charter, NTT West set up three core CSR principles – “thorough compliance,” “development of a safe and secure society,” and “creation of value through business activities” – and set a “visualization” benchmark. Each NTT West employee takes part in CSR activities, including working to maintain legal compliance, providing safe and reliable communication services and reducing the burden on the environment.

To ensure “thorough compliance,” NTT Group has focused on promoting groupwide initiatives in five high risk areas that have the potential to erode consumer trust in NTT West group companies, namely “misconduct in performing services,” “driving under the influence,” “information security breaches,” “power harassment” and “respect for human rights.” In January 2014, an NTT employee was arrested on suspicion of bribery under the “Act on Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, etc.,” and was charged in February 2014. In light of this event, NTT West has promoted companywide initiatives to ensure even greater compliance awareness among employees to prevent such transgressions from recurring in the future and also to further improve its corporate culture.

Based on the “Green NTT West Strategy” drawn up in June 2012, in order to “achieve its environmental grand design,” NTT West has been working to decrease power usage, the amount of paper it uses, and the volume of waste it produces. In addition, with respect to “developing the environment and energy business,” NTT West launched “Mieru Eco-Bata,” a hydroponic farm where users can rent space for cultivation and check on cultivation conditions at any time via ICT. NTT West also continued its foresting activities in the “NTT West Midori Ippai Project” to “promote biodiversity preservation activities.” In these ways, NTT West is striving to realize a society that reduces its burden on the environment.

While promoting the principles of the NTT Group CSR Charter, NTT West promoted its groupwide CSR activities and enhanced its environmental management and issued the “NTT West Group CSR Report 2013” and the “NTT West Group Environmental Report 2013” to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

(5) Financial Standing

As a result of these efforts during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, operating revenues totaled 1,589.6 billion yen (a decrease of 2.4% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013), operating income was 16.3 billion yen (a decrease of 14.7% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013), recurring profit was 26.0 billion yen (a decrease of 8.2% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013), and net profit totaled 18.7 billion yen (a decrease of 2.2% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013).

I. Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014

BACKGROUND

Although the economies of some emerging nations slowed, the overall picture for the global economy generally was one of recovery: the U.S. showed signs of a sound recovery, the economic recession in Europe was bottoming out, and Japan’s economy appears headed in the direction of recovery. In this economic environment, many companies throughout the world are taking a more active business approach and are focused on further strengthening their own competitiveness. They are entering new fields and investing in growth markets and building strong and flexible ICT foundations needed to support these activities.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

In accordance with NTT Com’s “Vision 2015” growth strategy and corporate slogan “Global ICT Partner,” NTT Com aims to achieve consolidated revenues of over 1.5 trillion yen by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, including a more than twofold increase in sales from outside of Japan compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

NTT Com designated the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 as a year for transforming its business structure and accelerating growth to achieve its “Vision 2015” goals. Based on its “Global Cloud Vision 2013,” NTT Com sought to put its growing businesses, such as global and cloud services strategies, on the right track.

In services, NTT Com strived to provide global seamless services and enhance its service lineups.

Specific measures taken by type of service were as follows:

 

   

Cloud Computing Platforms

Using network virtualization technology, NTT Com’s private cloud service “Enterprise Cloud” launched the world’s first cloud migration service in June 2013, providing support for smooth migration from an on-premises environment to cloud networks. In October, it significantly bolstered cloud functions and performance in areas such as database clustering and high-speed storage, which customers require for broader use of cloud-based functionality in their core systems. The service opened in locations in Australia and Germany, expanding its service areas to 11 locations in nine countries/regions. For e-commerce and other kinds of websites requiring high security and large-scale access capacity, the public cloud service “Cloudn” launched the “Compute (VPC Type)” service in January 2014.

Under the “Nexcenter” brand, which was established to further improve the level of services and to standardize service quality at the global level, NTT Com commenced provision of data center services at its Tokyo No. 6 Data Center in Tokyo in April 2013, at the Hong Kong Financial Data Centre and the U.K. Slough 2 Data Center in May 2013, and at its second data center in Bangalore, India in March 2014. In addition, in January 2014, NTT Com acquired U.S.-based RagingWire Data Centers, further expanding its group of data centers in Japan and abroad.

Data Networks

NTT Com strengthened its services that match the needs of its customers. In August 2013, NTT Com relaunched “OCN Mobile Entry d LTE 980,” a service introduced in April 2013, as “OCN Mobile ONE,” a mobile data communication service using NTT DOCOMO’s LTE service, offering five alternative plans based on levels of data volume and transmission speeds. To further facilitate customer access to the service, in December 2013, NTT Com became the first company to sell the service through convenience stores in Japan. In March 2014, NTT Com launched “OCN Hikari Mobile Wari,” a discount plan for customers who subscribe to both “OCN Hikari Service” for home use and “OCN Mobile ONE” for use away from home.

To enhance business efficiency through integration of operations and to expand its range of services based on network virtualization technologies, in January 2014, NTT Com acquired U.S.-based Virtela Technology Services, a company with strengths in managed services and virtualization technologies. NTT Com also expanded the service area of its “Arcstar Universal One” corporate network service from 160 countries and regions to 196.

In addition, NTT Com established new connection points to its “Global IP Network” global internet access service in six cities across four countries, including Jakarta, Indonesia, in response to customer needs for a high-quality, highly reliable IP backbone.

 

   

Voice Communications

NTT Com began supplying its “Web Directory” functionality – which allows corporate customers to manage telephone numbers and other business contact information on the cloud – to Arcstar UCaaS in April 2013, and to 050 plus for Biz in October 2013. For individual customers who use the 050IP app “050 plus,” NTT Com worked to expand functions and enhance the quality of its services to make them easier to use by providing an automatic adjustment of the volume level audible to the other party on voice calls, and added the capability for “050 plus” phone app users to exchange text messages. In February 2014, NTT Com established new “Arcstar UCaaS” platforms in Europe and the U.S. to build a foundation for speedy global communications services with low latency and high reliability.

In addition, in January 2014, NTT Com acquired France-based Arkadin International, which has a global customer base and capabilities in global conferencing services and accelerated the enhancement of conferencing service functions and the expansion of its service areas.

Applications and Content

In efforts to expand cloud services for supporting corporate customers in restructuring their work practices, NTT Com added new functionality to its “Enterprise Mail” cloud-based e-mail service, offering the option to enable e-mail access via a mobile device when away from the office under a secure external environment, and the option to link mobile with the scheduler and office-based functions. In October 2013, NTT Com added “Gridow on NTT Communications,” an application that facilitates the creation and secure sharing of video content. In December 2013, it launched “Biz Password,” for the integrated management of corporate user IDs and passwords, and optimal corporate SNS “Biz Groupwork,” for facilitating internal and external business communications and enhancing efficiency in project management.

NTT Com also began overseas sales of “Enterprise Mail” in Taiwan in March 2014. For individual customers, NTT Com added many functions and features enhancing security and ease-of-use for its “OCN Kakeibo” free online household bookkeeping service, which became available as “Kakeibon” in December 2013. NTT Com also aggressively moved into new business areas, which included the launch of “Visual Learning.Japanese,” a cloud-based Japanese-language education service, in October 2013.

 

   

Solution Services

In its cloud migration services, where NTT Com offers one-stop services from systems consulting to design, engineering and systems migration for the transition to cloud computing, NTT Com actively promoted the globalization and increased sophistication of its services both in Japan and overseas through the provision of core systems solutions with cloud-based ERP packages.

NTT Com also revamped its security services under the new unified global brandname “WideAngle” and commenced provision of services in June 2013. Further, to ensure a seamless global expansion of NTT Com Group’s security business, NTT Com changed the name of the Integralis Group to NTT Com Security.

In sales, NTT Com accelerated its efforts at global integration through its Global Account Management Systems (GAMS), where the Global Account Manager (GAM) and National Account Manager (NAM) in each country work together to provide solutions for issues encountered by customers seeking to develop their businesses globally. Regularly scheduled Global One Meetings aimed at more advanced account plans by GAM/NAM and sales promotions based on lively communications using global integrated sales force automation (SFA) resulted in a steady increase in orders for large-scale projects.

In operations, in addition to NTT Com’s own operations, the service operations of NTT America and NTT Europe services are being undertaken by Emerio GlobeSoft and Netmagic Solutions, which are also member companies of the NTT Com Group. This is helping to facilitate the standardization and automation of operations and accelerating efforts to optimize operations as a group.

In addition, to promote global seamless management, NTT Com’s ICT systems are building ERP systems that are shared globally. In October 2013, NTT Singapore began the introduction of ERP systems’ pilots program, facilitated the standardization of operational processes such as accounting and purchasing globally and integrated ICT systems. In purchasing, NTT Com also strengthened its competitiveness by cutting costs through the leveraging of global unified procurement. In personnel management, NTT Com continued its efforts in global human resource development by continuing to hire foreign nationals and increasing the number of trainees, including recent graduates.

In security management, NTT Com made efforts to enhance the level of its security-risk management by undertaking a company-wide audit of its ICT systems, addressing software vulnerabilities, applying “WideAngle” integrated risk-management services to ICT systems throughout the company and putting in place measures to mitigate security risks. NTT Com also enhanced its incident-response processes by integrating management of its company-wide ICT systems using the Information Security Management Platform (ISMP) for providing information on determining security vulnerabilities.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the development of global seamless services and sales and optimization of operations resulted in NTT Com receiving high assessments in comparative reports on vendors by analysts. NTT Com was even described as a “leader” in the field in the U.S.-based Gartner report on the assessment of global network service providers, and in the U.S.-based IDC report assessing cloud and DC services in the Asia-Pacific region.

OPERATING RESULTS

Although revenues from the cloud computing platforms business unit increased 10.9 billion yen (26.2%) over the prior fiscal year to 52.9 billion yen and revenues from the solutions services business increased 23.1 billion yen (18.1%) over the prior fiscal year to 150.6 billion yen, data networks revenues decreased 12.1 billion yen (3.0%) over the prior fiscal year to 391.5 billion yen and voice communications revenues decreased 21.6 billion yen (6.8%) to 296.4 billion yen. As a result, NTT Communications’ total non-consolidated operating revenues decreased 0.7 billion yen (0.1%) over the prior fiscal year to 944.0 billion yen.

Total operating expenses increased 3.8 billion yen (0.5%) to 830.5 billion yen due to an increase in costs associated with the solutions services business of 25.4 billion yen (6.3%) over the prior fiscal year to 426.0 billion yen and a decrease in communication network charges of 9.3 billion yen (4.4%) over the prior fiscal year to 204.1 billion yen as a result of the impact of lower voice communications revenues, among other things.

As a result of the above, operating income decreased 4.6 billion yen (4.0%) over the prior fiscal year to 113.4 billion yen. Net income increased 23.6 billion yen (36.2%) over the prior fiscal year to 88.9 billion yen, due to a 16.1 billion yen extraordinary gain on the sale of real estate, in spite of recording a 6 billion yen extraordinary loss from the stock valuation of NTT Communications’ overseas subsidiaries.

NTT Communications Group’s consolidated operating revenues increased 35.7 billion yen (3.0%) over the prior fiscal year to 1,230.4 billion yen, the first increase in six years, due to the strength of its overseas subsidiaries as well as a smaller decrease in NTT Communications’ non-consolidated revenues. In addition, operating income increased 11.6 billion yen (9.9%) over the prior fiscal year to 127.9 billion yen.

      With respect to the line items used prior to the three months ended March 31, 2014, beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2013, NTT consolidated IP-VPN and Wide-area Ethernet operating revenues into VPN operating revenues. Operating Revenues from Voice Transmission Services (excluding IP) of NTT Communications for the fiscal year ended Mar. 31, 2014 include revenues from telephone subscriber lines (138.0 billion yen). Operating Revenues from IP Services include revenues from OCN (153.5 billion yen) and VPN (159.0 billion yen). Operating Revenues from Leased Circuit include revenues from conventional leased circuits (2.6 billion yen) and high-speed digital (16.5 billion yen). IP-VPN and Wide-area Ethernet operating revenues for the fiscal year ended Mar. 31, 2014 were 62.3 billion yen and 41.0 billion yen, respectively.
   (2)    Since Dimension Data’s statements of income from January 1 to December 31, 2013 are consolidated into NTT’s consolidated statements of income from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, Dimension Data’s financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 are included under “B. Year Ended Mar. 31, 2014” and Dimension Data’s forecast for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014 is included under “C. Year Ending Mar. 31 2015 (Forecast).”
   (3)    Conversion rate for Dimension Data figures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 : USD1.00 = JPY97.73
   (4)    Operating Expenses include costs associated with the acquisition of Dimension Data by NTT.
   (5)    Operating Income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 under US GAAP is 1.8 billion yen.

5. Average Monthly Revenue per Unit (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to each designated service on a per user basis. In the case of NTT Group’s fixed-line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of NTT Group’s regional communications business segment, that is, telephone subscriber lines, INS-NET and FLET’S Hikari, by the number of Active Subscribers to the relevant services.

In the case of NTT Group’s mobile communications business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in operating revenues from its mobile communications business segment, such as revenues from FOMA mobile phone services and Xi mobile phone services, that are incurred consistently each month (i.e., basic monthly charges and voice/packet transmission charges), by the number of Active Subscribers to the relevant services. The calculation of these figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage, such as telecommunications equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

NTT believes that its ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of its subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of NTT Group’s ARPU figures are based on its financial results comprising its U.S. GAAP results of operations.

Notes :    (1)      We compute the following four categories of ARPU for business conducted by each of NTT East and NTT West.
         Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines): Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and INS-NET Subscriber Lines, which are included in operating revenues from Voice Transmission Services (excluding IP Services), and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL” and “FLET’S ISDN,” which are included in operating revenues from IP Services.
         Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL.”
         INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for “INS-NET” Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ISDN.”
         FLET’S Hikari ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” (including “FLET’S Hikari” optional services), which are included in operating revenues from IP Services, revenues from monthly charges, call charges and connection device charges for “Hikari Denwa,” and revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” optional services, which are included in Supplementary Business revenues.
         “FLET’S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.
         Commencing in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, NTT East and NTT West began including in their respective FLET’S Hikari ARPU calculations revenues from NTT East’s and NTT West’s “FLET’S VPN WIDE” virtual private network option. These revenues are part of NTT East’s and NTT West’s operating revenues from IP services. As a result of this new calculation methodology, NTT East’s and NTT West’s FLET’S Hikari ARPU for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 include revenues of 20 yen for each of NTT East and NTT West from “FLET’S VPN WIDE.”
   (2)    Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU, INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.
   (3)    For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for each service.
   (4)    In terms of number of channels, transmission rate, and line use rate (base rate), INS-Net 1500 is in all cases roughly ten times greater than INS-Net 64. For this reason, for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS-Net 64 subscriptions.
   (5)    For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, number of subscribers is determined based on the number of “FLET’S Hikari” subscribers, including subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.
   (6)    The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) = Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”).
            NTT DOCOMO’s Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services, and our Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as flat monthly fees and packet communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services and our Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues from a part of Other Operating Revenues attributable to “FOMA” and “Xi” wireless communications services (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others).
   (7)    Communications module service, phone number storage service, mail address storage service and docomo Business Transceiver subscribers and the revenues therefrom are not included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU.
   (8)    Number of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.
            1Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to June
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from July to September
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from October to December
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from January to March
            FY Results : Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March
            FY Forecast: Sum of the average expected active number of subscribers during the fiscal year ((number of subscribers at March 31, 2014 + number of expected subscribers at March 31, 2015)/2)x12
   (9)    Number of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
            1Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to June
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from July to September
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from October to December
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from January to March
            FY Results/FY Forecast: Sum of number of active subscribers*/expected number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March.
         * active subscribers = (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2
