During the three months ended June 30, 2015, NTT adopted and announced its Medium-Term Management Strategy, entitled “Towards the Next Stage 2.0,” in May, and implemented measures to embark on a profit growth track by accelerating its self-transformation towards becoming a “Value Partner.”

<Efforts to Expand NTT’s Global Business and Increase Profit Generation>

NTT Group seeks to expand and establish its global business as a cornerstone of its business operations and to accelerate profit generation through the following initiatives.

Specifically, NTT Group plans to strengthen its business operations with a particular focus on the global financial sector. To this end, NTT acquired Carlisle & Gallagher Consulting Group, Inc., a US IT consulting firm specializing in financial services. NTT Group also entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire PT. Cyber CSF, an Indonesian data center provider, in order to further strengthen its capacity to respond to the growing demand for ICT platforms in Southeast Asia.

In order to meet the increasing need for data center services in the United States, NTT Group began providing services at its CA3 Data Center in Sacramento, California. NTT Group also began providing services at its Data Center 1 in Vienna, Austria, where European ICT companies have penetrated into the market at an accelerated rate.

Furthermore, each NTT Group Company has been resolutely engaged in optimizing services and operations and reducing procurement costs by continuously implementing cost reduction measures.

In addition, in order to support the above measures, NTT Group aims to strengthen its group governance and risk management, by increasing the transparency of information regarding group management, further unifying group accounting standards and practices, bolstering cash management, and enhancing collaboration within NTT Group’s global subsidiaries.

<Efforts to Optimize Domestic Network Businesses and Enhance Profitability>

NTT Group aimed to enhance the profitability of its domestic network businesses by optimizing capital investments and reducing costs. With regard to optimizing capital investments, NTT worked to improve the efficiency of its facility use and reduce procurement costs, in addition to simplifying and streamlining its network systems.

NTT Group also sought to reduce costs by implementing cost control measures in connection with its promotion of the “Hikari Collaboration Model” in the regional communications business segment and the new “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan in the mobile communications segment, as subscriptions to these services reached over 1.3 million and 20 million, respectively.

<Efforts to Achieve Sustainable Growth >

The Japanese government has been developing and implementing a variety of policies centered on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Japanese government’s “Vitalization of Local Economies” initiative. NTT Group plans to make use of these opportunities to accelerate migration to the B2B2X model and strengthen measures aimed at creating services that will become the standards of the next generation.

In particular, as part of its efforts to address the many social issues facing Japan’s regional areas, NTT Group entered into a Comprehensive Partnership Agreement with the City of Fukuoka to develop regional services utilizing ICT. NTT Group also agreed to enter into a business alliance with Panasonic Corporation with the aim of achieving “visual service innovations” and an “evolution of user experience” toward 2020 and beyond.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 increased ¥57.1 billion (12.9%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥500.9 billion. This increase was due to, among other factors, an increase in operating income.

Net cash used in investing activities increased ¥63.3 billion (12.0%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥590.1 billion. This increase was due to, among other factors, an increase in capital investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased ¥38.1 billion (15.4%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥209.2 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in proceeds from borrowings.

2. Others

 

(1) Change in significant consolidated subsidiaries during the three months ended June 30, 2015, that resulted in changes in the scope of consolidation: Yes

NTT’s specified subsidiary, Verio Inc., was merged into NTT America, Inc., another NTT subsidiary, on April 1, 2015. As a result, Verio Inc. ceased to be a specified subsidiary of NTT, and was excluded from the scope of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

(2) Adoption of accounting which is simplified or exceptional for quarterly consolidated financial statements: None

 

(3) Change of accounting policy: Yes

Change in Fiscal Year End of Certain Subsidiaries

As of April 1, 2015, certain of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries changed their fiscal year ends from December 31 to March 31, thereby eliminating a three-month discrepancy between their fiscal year ends and NTT’s fiscal year end in NTT’s quarterly financial statements. The elimination of this discrepancy was applied as a change in accounting policy. NTT did not make any retrospective adjustments to its financial statements as these changes did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2014 or the year ended March 31, 2015. As a result of this change, NTT’s retained earnings have increased by ¥700 million, and its accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests have decreased by ¥9,702 million, ¥595 million and ¥419 million, respectively, in each case as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. In addition, the change in cash and cash equivalents resulting from this change in fiscal year end is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows under “Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents due to change in fiscal year end of consolidated subsidiaries.”

Consolidated Results and Forecasts (U.S. GAAP)

FY2015 Contributing Factors by Segment

While the trend of decreasing Operating Revenues continued, marketing costs decreased in connection with the expansion of the Hikari Collaboration Model, resulting in a decrease in Operating Revenues but an increase in Operating Income.

Operating Revenues increased while Operating Income decreased due to the growth in overseas businesses and intensifying domestic and overseas competition.

While Operating Revenues decreased due to the effect of the new billing plans, increased revenues in the Smart Life business and comprehensive cost control measures resulted in increases in both Operating Revenues and Operating Income.

In addition to an increase in gross margins resulting from increased sales, both Operating Revenues and Operating Income increased as a result of a reduction in unprofitable projects.

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 (including subscriptions to the “INS-Net 64 Lite Plan”).
   (3)  

Number of “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” 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, 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 and subscribers to the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.

 

The comparative results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 for “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” are as follows: the numbers of new subscribers for NTT East and NTT West were 397 thousand lines and 413 thousand lines, respectively; the numbers of new subscribers (excluding switchover lines) for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” for NTT East and NTT West were 75 thousand lines and 39 thousand lines, respectively; and the numbers of switchover lines for NTT East and NTT West were 693 thousand lines and 251 thousand lines, respectively.

   (4)   Numbers of subscribers for “Hikari Denwa” and “FLET’S TV Transmission Services” include wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (5)   “NTT Group Major ISPs” includes “WAKWAK” and “InfoSphere,” in addition to “OCN” and “Plala.”
   (6)   Number of Mobile (including “LTE (Xi)” and “FOMA”) service subscribers includes communication module service subscribers.
   (7)   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.

4. Operating Data (ARPU)

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, fixed-line (Telephone Subscriber Lines and 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 LTE(Xi) mobile phone services, FOMA mobile phone services and “docomo Hikari” services, that are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active users 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 two 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.
            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. In addition, “FLET’S Hikari” also includes the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
            “FLET’S Hikari” Optional Services includes wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (2)    Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.
   (3)    Numbers of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.
            Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month
            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, 2015 + number of expected subscribers at March 31, 2016)/2}x12
            *active subscribers = (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2
   (4)    For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for fixed-line (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines).
   (5)    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), one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS-Net 64 subscriptions.
   (6)    For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers, which includes subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, 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, and subscribers to the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (7)    The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for NTT DOCOMO.
            Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU
            Voice ARPU : Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / number of active users
            Packet ARPU : Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / number of active users
            “docomo Hikari” ARPU : A part of Other Operating Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / number of active users
   (8)    Numbers of active users used in the ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
            Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active users* for each month during the relevant quarter
            FY Results/FY Forecast: Sum of number of active users*/expected number of active users* for each month from April to March
            *active users = (number of users at end of previous month + number of users at end of the current month)/2
   (9)    The number of “users” used to calculate ARPU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:
      a.       Subscriptions of 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); and
      b.       Data Plan subscriptions in the case where the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription for “Xi” or “FOMA” services in his/her name.
      Note that 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 ARPU calculation.

   NTT DOCOMO’s Voice ARPU (“LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges attributable to “LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA” services, Packet ARPU (“LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as flat monthly fees and packet communication charges attributable to “LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA” services, and Smart ARPU (“LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA”) is based on operating revenues from a part of Other Operating Revenues attributable to “LTE(Xi)”+“FOMA” wireless communications services (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others).
   (11)    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 Conventional ARPU calculation.
   (12)    Numbers of active subscribers used in the Conventional ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
              Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month
