During the six months ended September 30, 2014, pursuant to its Medium-Term Management Strategy, adopted in November 2012, entitled “Towards the Next Stage,” NTT worked to expand its global cloud services and to strengthen its network service competitiveness in order to become a “Value Partner” that customers continue to select.

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 information and communication technology (ICT) management and applications stage.

Specifically, in order to strengthen its ability to provide strategic ICT consulting and expand its presence in the Australian market, NTT Group entered into an agreement with Oakton Limited, one of the leading providers of information management and core business systems solutions in the Australian ICT market, concerning a proposal to acquire all of its shares. In addition, in order to provide comprehensive data center engineering services to the data center market in Singapore and neighboring countries, where it is predicted that ICT services will see significant growth and whose business environment is well-suited to the provision of data backup for business continuity planning, NTT Group reached an agreement with the shareholders of Pro-Matrix Pte Ltd., a data center facility engineering specialist in Singapore that provides integrated services from consultation to installation and maintenance, to acquire a majority stake in the company.

Strengthening Network Service Competitiveness:

In the fixed-line communications field, NTT Group continued to work to increase the number of new subscribers and improve long-term customer retention for its “FLET’S Hikari” services.

In addition, regarding the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesaling of fiber-optic access services that was announced in May 2014, NTT Group proceeded in its drafting of specific terms of provision and announced, among other things, its available services and basic concept for wholesale service fees and other settings.

In the mobile communications field, “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru,” a new billing plan tailored to suit a customer’s stage of life that offers more affordable rates to long-term users, exceeded nine million subscriptions. Further, NTT Group also launched devices equipped with call functionality for VoLTE (Voice over LTE) call services, which provide reliable and high-sound quality calls over its “Xi” service network, and emergency power-saving functionality. Additionally, NTT Group also launched sales of the “iPhone 6”*1 and “iPhone 6 Plus.”*1

To strengthen the competitiveness of its existing 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 facilities, 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.

As a result of these efforts, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2014 were ¥5,373.7 billion (an increase of 2.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating expenses were ¥4,782.7 billion (an increase of 3.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating income was ¥590.9 billion (a decrease of 9.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes and equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies was ¥592.2 billion (a decrease of 12.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and net income attributable to NTT was ¥290.3 billion (a decrease of 10.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Operating revenues in the regional communications business segment for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 2.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,706.7 billion due to, among other things, a decrease in fixed voice-related revenues resulting from the decline in fixed-line telephone subscriptions, which was partially offset by an increase in IP/packet communications revenues. On the other hand, operating expenses fell by 2.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,628.9 billion due to, among other factors, a decrease in personnel expenses and efforts to streamline operating expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 increased 3.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥77.9 billion.

Operating revenues in the long distance and international communications business segment for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 increased 10.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥950.0 billion. This increase was due to, among other things, an increase in system integration revenues associated with an increase in the number of overseas consolidated subsidiaries, partially offset by a decrease in domestic fixed voice-related revenues. Operating expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 increased 11.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥893.6 billion due to, among other things, an increase in revenue-linked expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 8.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥56.4 billion.

Operating income

Despite an increase in revenues associated with NTT Group’s expanding “Smart Life” business, operating revenues for the mobile communications business segment for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 1.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥2,173.0 billion due to, among other things, a decline in mobile voice-related revenues and other areas resulting from the impact of its “Monthly Support” discount programs and the new “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan. On the other hand, despite the implementation of measures to reduce costs through structural changes, operating expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 increased 2.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,775.2 billion due to increases in cost of equipment sold and in revenue-linked expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 15.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥397.8 billion.

On the other hand, operating expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 rose 10.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥668.0 billion due to, among other things, an increase in revenue-linked expenses, despite a reduction in unprofitable transactions.

On the other hand, operating expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 0.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥571.3 billion due to, among other things, a decrease in personnel expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased 19.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥24.4 billion.

(2) Qualitative Information Relating to Consolidated Financial Position

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased ¥335.2 billion (23.3%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,101.4 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in operating income and an increase in payments of sales commissions to resellers in addition to the effect of bank holidays.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased ¥60.9 billion (6.0%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥951.1 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in capital investments and in payments for the purchase of non-current investments and other such investments.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased ¥161.9 billion (54.2%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥137.0 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in stock repurchases.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014 totaled ¥989.5 billion, an increase of ¥5.0 billion (0.5%) from the end of the previous fiscal year.

(3) Qualitative Information Relating to Consolidated Results Forecasts

The NTT Group has re-evaluated its manner of service providing, and has been active in launching unprecedented new programs such as NTT DOCOMO’s “New Billing Plan” and NTT East and NTT West’s “Hikari Collaboration Model” with the objective of becoming a “Value Partner” that our customers continue to select. As a result, NTT Group has revised the forecasts for financial results as follows.

The forecast for NTT Group’s operating revenues has been revised downward by ¥190.0 billion from the initial forecast to ¥11,010.0 billion, due to the receipt of applications for NTT DOCOMO’s “New Billing Plan” from a larger than expected number of customers and at a faster rate than anticipated, and due to lower than expected revenues due to price reductions on certain devices.

In order to counter a decline in operating revenues, each NTT Group company, and NTT DOCOMO in particular, has accelerated cost cutting as much as possible. Nonetheless, the forecast for NTT Group’s operating income has been revised downward by ¥120.0 billion from the initial forecast to ¥1,095.0 billion.

For the assumptions used in the consolidated results forecasts and other related matters, please see page 22.

Consolidated Results and Forecasts (U.S. GAAP)

FY2014/2Q Contributing Factors by Segment

Regional communications business: Operating Income increased as a result of continued efforts to improve operational efficiency, despite the increased impact of FLET’S Hikari discounts.

Long distance and international communication business: Although Operating Income decreased year-on-year, profit improvement in overseas businesses contributed to an increase in profit for the six-month period ended September 30.

Mobile communications business: Operating Income decreased due to the increased impact of “Monthly Support” discount programs and the effect of new rate plans to decrease Operating Revenues.

Data communications business: Operating Income increased due to the effect of reducing unprofitable transactions, in addition to the improvement of gross margin in conjunction with an increase in sales.

Appendices 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, 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 Xi mobile phone services and FOMA 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.

For a complete discussion on the calculation of ARPU, please see the “Supplementary Data for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2014.”

Notes:

(1) FLET’S Hikari ARPU of NTT East and NTT West is 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.

(2) 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.

(3)

 

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

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

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

(4) Subscriptions for and revenues from communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not included in the Mobile Aggregate ARPU calculation.

(5) NTT DOCOMO‘s ARPU calculation methods have been changed from the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. Accordingly, the ARPU data for the results for the three months ended Jun. 30, 2013 (from Apr. to Jun., 2013), the three months ended Sep. 30, 2013 (from Jul. to Sep., 2013), the three months ended Dec. 31, 2013 (from Oct. to Dec., 2013), the three months ended Mar. 31, 2014 (from Jan. to Mar., 2014), the year ended Mar. 31, 2014 and the three months ended Jun. 30, 2014 (from Apr. to Jun., 2014) have also been changed.

Notes:    (1)   Number of Telephone Subscriber Lines is the total of individual lines and central station lines (Subscriber Telephone Light Plan is included).
   (2)   “INS-Net” includes “INS-Net 64” and “INS-Net 1500.” 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, one “INS-Net 1500” subscription is calculated as ten “INS-Net 64” subscriptions (“INS-Net 64 Lite Plan” is included).
   (3)   Number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers includes 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.
   (4)   “NTT Group Major ISPs” includes “WAKWAK” and “InfoSphere,” in addition to “OCN” and “Plala.”
   (5)   Number of Mobile (including “Xi” and “FOMA”) service subscribers includes communication module service subscribers.
   (6)   Effective March 3, 2008, FOMA services became mandatory for subscription to “2in1” services. Such FOMA service subscriptions to “2in1” services are included in the number of FOMA service subscribers and, as a result, are also included in the number of Mobile service subscribers.

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 Xi mobile phone services and FOMA 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.
   (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 NTT DOCOMO.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) = Voice ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) + Packet ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) + Smart ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”).
            NTT DOCOMO’s Voice ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges attributable to our “Xi”+“FOMA” services, our Packet ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as flat monthly fees and packet communication charges attributable to our “Xi”+“FOMA” services, and our Smart ARPU (“Xi”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues from a part of Other Operating Revenues attributable to “Xi”+“FOMA” wireless communications services (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others).
   (7)    Subscriptions for and revenues from communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not included in NTT DOCOMO’s ARPU calculation.
   (8)    NTT DOCOMO’s ARPU calculation methods have been changed from the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. Accordingly, the ARPU data for the results for “Six Months Ended Sept. 30, 2013 (from Apr. to Sept., 2013),” “Year Ended Mar. 31, 2014” and “Three Months Ended Jun. 30, 2014 (from Apr. to Jun., 2014)” have also been changed. Figures listed under “Year Ending Mar. 31, 2015 (Previously Announced Forecast)” were calculated using the previous calculation methods.
   (9)    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
            Six Months Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to September.
            FY Results : Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March.
            FY (Previously Announced 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.
            FY (Revised Forecast): Sum of the sum of actual number of active subscribers at the end of each month from April to September and the average expected active number of subscribers during the second half of the fiscal year ((number of subscribers at September 30, 2014 + number of expected subscribers at March 31, 2015)/2)x6.
   (10)    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
            Six Months Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to September.
            FY Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March.
            FY (Previously Announced Forecast) and FY (Revised Forecast): Sum of 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
