During the nine months ended December 31, 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 further promote its cloud business in the United States, NTT Group acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of U.S.-based Symphony Management Consulting, LLC, which has strengths in the cloud solutions business.

Furthermore, NTT Group commenced operations at its “Shanghai Pudong Data Center,” which will not only serve as a major center for colocation services in China, but also as a primary base for cloud services.

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, NTT Group continued to move ahead with its “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesaling of fiber-optic access services, and announced in January 2015 that it will begin providing services in February 2015.

In the mobile communications field, “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru,” a new billing plan tailored to suit a customer’s stage of life that offer more affordable rates to long-term users, exceeded 13 million subscriptions. Further, NTT Group launched the sale of smartphones and other devices equipped with call functionality for VoLTE*1 call services, and also announced the development of a data communications handset compatible with “LTE-Advanced,” a mobile communication standard capable of high-speed transmissions of up to 225 Mbps. NTT Group also commenced sales of the “iPad Air 2”*2 and “iPad mini 3.”*2 In addition, NTT Group announced in January 2015 that it would begin accepting pre-orders in February 2015 for both its “Docomo Hikari” broadband service, which utilizes the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” and “Docomo Hikari Pack,” which provides “Docomo Hikari” in combination with mobile phone service at a reasonable price, and will commence these services in March 2015.

To cut costs in fixed-line and mobile communications services, NTT Group 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.

NTT also entered into a partnership agreement with the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in January 2015 relating to athletes representing Japan in the Olympics and Paralympics. The agreement has a six-year term, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics. With this agreement, NTT became the first “Gold Partner,” the highest tier of the domestic corporate sponsorship program.

As a result of these efforts, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 were ¥8,182.5 billion (an increase of 2.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and consolidated operating expenses were ¥7,271.6 billion (an increase of 3.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year). Consolidated operating income was ¥910.9 billion (a decrease of 7.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes and equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies was ¥910.2 billion (a decrease of 11.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and net income attributable to NTT was ¥449.9 billion (a decrease of 7.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Operating revenues in the regional communications business segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 1.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥2,579.2 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 3.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥2,447.7 billion due to, among other factors, a decrease in personnel expenses and efforts to streamline operating expenses. As a result, segment operating income increased 30.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥131.5 billion.

Operating revenues in the long-distance and international communications business segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 increased 10.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,447.3 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 increased 12.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,359.4 billion due to, among other things, an increase in revenue-linked expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 12.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥88.0 billion.

     685.7         584.9         (100.9     (14.7 )% 

Despite an increase in revenues associated with NTT Group’s expanding “Smart Life” business, operating revenues for the mobile communications business segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 1.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥3,326.8 billion due to, among other things, a decline in mobile voice-related revenues resulting from the impact of its “Monthly Support” discount programs and the new “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan. Further, despite the implementation of measures to reduce costs through structural changes, operating expenses for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 increased 2.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥2,741.9 billion due to increases in cost of equipment sold and in revenue-linked expenses. As a result, segment operating income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 14.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥584.9 billion.

On the other hand, operating expenses for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 rose 11.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,009.7 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 3.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥853.8 billion due to, among other things, a decrease in revenue-linked expenses in NTT’s real estate business. As a result, segment operating income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased 21.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥40.3 billion.

(2) Qualitative Information Relating to Consolidated Financial Position

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 decreased ¥223.2 billion (13.8%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,399.7 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in operating income as well as the effect of bank holidays.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased ¥79.7 billion (5.2%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,453.0 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 ¥60.9 billion (68.5%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥28.0 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, an increase in borrowings, which offset an increase in the payment of cash dividends.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 totaled ¥905.8 billion, a decrease of ¥78.7 billion (8.0%) from the end of the previous fiscal year.

(8) Subsequent Events

Tata Teleservices Limited

Tata Teleservices Limited (“TTSL”) is a telecommunications operator in India and a privately held company.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, NTT Group held via NTT DOCOMO approximately 26.5% of the outstanding common shares of TTSL and has accounted for the investment under the equity method.

Under the shareholders agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into among TTSL, Tata Sons Limited (“Tata Sons”), the parent company of TTSL, and NTT DOCOMO, when NTT DOCOMO entered into a business alliance with TTSL in March 2009, NTT DOCOMO shall have certain shareholder rights including the right to require Tata Sons to find a suitable buyer for NTT DOCOMO’s entire stake (1,248,974,378 shares, or approximately 26.5% of outstanding shares) in TTSL for 50% of NTT DOCOMO’s acquisition price, which amounts to 72.5 billion Indian rupees (or ¥138.5 billion*) or at fair value, whichever is higher, in the event that TTSL fails to achieve certain specified performance targets by March 31, 2014. The right became exercisable on May 30, 2014, and NTT DOCOMO exercised the right on July 7, 2014.

The obligation of Tata Sons under the Agreement was not fulfilled, although NTT DOCOMO repeatedly held discussions with Tata Sons in regards to the sale of its entire stake in TTSL, pursuant to the Agreement. Accordingly, NTT DOCOMO submitted its request for arbitration to the London Court of International Arbitration on January 3, 2015.

The sale of NTT DOCOMO’s stake in TTSL has not been completed as Tata Sons has not fulfilled its obligation, and thus NTT DOCOMO has not accounted for the sales transaction for the year ending March 31, 2015. NTT DOCOMO continues to account for the investment in TTSL under the equity method as NTT DOCOMO continues to hold approximately 26.5% of the outstanding voting shares of TTSL and have representation on the board of directors of TTSL even after submitting the request for arbitration. The financial effect of this matter cannot be estimated at this time due to the aforementioned uncertainties surrounding this investment. NTT DOCOMO may recognize a gain or loss upon disposition of its TTSL shares or in the event that it becomes probable that the likelihood of the transaction as described above will not be carried out.

*1 rupee = ¥1.91 as of December 30, 2014

NTT DOCOMO’s repurchase of its common stock

On October 31, 2014, the board of directors of NTT DOCOMO resolved that NTT DOCOMO may repurchase up to 138,469,879 shares of its outstanding common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥192,306 million between November 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015.

Based on this resolution, in January 2015, NTT DOCOMO repurchased a total of 13,300,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of ¥25,312 million. Due to NTT DOCOMO’s additional repurchase transactions, NTT’s ownership interest in NTT DOCOMO further increased from 65.8% to 66.0%. NTT expects to recognize the difference between the consideration paid to the non-controlling interest holders and the decrease in the carrying value of such non-controlling interests resulting from this transaction as an adjustment to “Additional paid-in capital” in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015.

Consolidated Results and Forecasts (U.S. GAAP)

FY2014/3Q Contributing Factors by Segment

Regional communications business: Operating Income increased as a result of vastly improved operational efficiency as well as the reduction of marketing costs.

Long distance and international communication business: Although intensifying domestic competition led to a decrease in Operating Income, overseas businesses experienced steady growth.

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

Data communications business: Operating Income increased due to an improvement in gross margin in conjunction with an increase in sales, in addition to a reduction in unprofitable transactions.

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 Nine Months Ended December 31, 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.

(6) Numbers 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

- Nine Month Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to December

- FY Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March

- FY (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.

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)

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, the 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 “Nine Months Ended Dec. 31, 2013 (from Apr. to Dec., 2013),” “Year Ended Mar. 31, 2014” and “Three Months Ended Jun. 30, 2014 (from Apr. to Jun., 2014)” have also been changed.
   (9)    Numbers 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
            Nine Month Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to December
            FY Results : Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March
            FY 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)    Numbers 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
            Nine Month Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to December
            FY Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March
            FY Forecast: Sum of expected number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March
   (11)    Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2015 have not been changed from those announced in the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2014.
            *active subscribers = (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2
