<< Comment from Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>

 

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we achieved solid results in our business operations. Our cellular churn rate was 0.64%, 0.16 points lower compared to the same period of the prior year, and we secured the largest market share of net additional subscribers, owing to the addition of new models to our handset lineup and the brisk growth of “pake-hodai” flat-rate subscribers after making more billing plans available to subscribers earlier this year. We have also moved forward in migrating existing subscribers to the FOMA network, successfully growing the number of FOMA subscribers to more than half of our total cellular subscribers. As a consequence, operating income for the first quarter reached ¥272.7 billion, making a favorable progress toward our full-year forecast.

 

In view of the scheduled introduction of Mobile Number Portability system this fall, we will continue our endeavors to reinforce our overall competitiveness by improving every aspect of our business, including our billing plans, handsets lineup, network quality and after-sales support. As for the services we offer, following the launch of the “Chaku-Uta Full”, full music track downloading service in June, we plan to start a new service dubbed “Music Channel”—a service that allows users to download music programs of high sound quality—in conjunction with the introduction of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) this summer, in an effort to enrich our music-related offerings. We also plan to respond proactively to users’ growing needs for search engines of information sites.

 

The subscriber base of “DCMX” credit payment service, commenced in the first quarter, already exceeded 300,000 as of June 30, 2006, delivering tangible results toward our goal to create new revenue sources. The uptake of “i-channel” service has also grown remarkably, acquiring over 4.0 million subscribers in 10 months after its service launch. We aim to boost the usage of subscribers even further by promoting various services such as “i-channel” going forward.

 

In order to react swiftly to the changes in our business environment, we, as always, will strive to respond earnestly to customers’ voices, strengthen our competitiveness by enhancing existing services and introducing attractive new services, and thereby solidify our business foundation.

1. Business Overview

 

  (1) Operating revenues totaled ¥1,218.6 billion (up 2.7% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

    Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to ¥1,065.4 billion (up 3.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). Despite the negative impact on revenues from our strategic billing arrangements, the acquisition of new subscribers and lowered churn rate, which resulted from our continued implementation of customer-oriented operations, delivered positive impacts on our operating revenues.

 

    Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥409.2 billion (up 78.9% compared to the same period of the prior year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥215.0 billion (up 83.9% compared to the same period of the prior year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 26.22 million (up 91.2% compared to the same period of the prior year), which resulted from the release of new handsets such as the “FOMA902i/702i” series, further enhancement of our network quality, and increase in the number of billing plans that can be combined with “pake-hodai”, our flat-rate packet billing plan for unlimited i-mode usage.

 

    Equipment sales totaled ¥123.6 billion (down 2.9% compared to the same period of the prior year). While the number of handset sold increased due to steady migration of subscribers from mova to FOMA services, the amount accounted for as sales revenue per handset decreased.

    Non-personnel expenses increased to ¥609.3 billion (up 7.6% compared to the same period of the prior year) mainly due to an increase in cost of equipment sold, reflecting the increased number of handsets sold, and an increase in our after-sales service expenses, such as provision of free-of-charge battery packs and warranty services for handsets.

 

    Depreciation and amortization increased by 2.3% to ¥169.3 billion compared to the same period of the prior year due to an increase in capital expenditures for reinforcement of our FOMA network.

2. Segment Information

 

  (1) Mobile phone business

 

Operating revenues were ¥1,202.5 billion and operating income was ¥278.9 billion.

 

    Cellular (FOMA) services

 

  Beginning in May 2006, we released our high-end models, the “FOMA 902iS” series handsets, all of which are equipped with a pre-installed application software for our “DCMX” mobile credit service, enhanced security and music player function. We also launched optional services to the compatible handsets including; “Data Security Services” which enable subscribers to store their phonebook list on DoCoMo’s network, “Omakase Lock” which enables users to lock their lost handsets by remote control through our call center or website, “Chaku-moji” which enables a caller to transmit a message that is displayed on the receiver’s screen until the call is answered, and “Chaku-Uta Full” which enables users to download full music tracks from i-mode sites. In June 2006, we also released the “FOMA SO902iWP+”, the first waterproof handset for FOMA. In May 2006, we released our standard model the “FOMA SO702i”, which is a compact handset with changeable front and rear covers. In June we released the “FOMA D702iBCL”, a camera-less handset for corporate users. Beginning in April 2006, we released a simple and compact handset series called “SIMPURE”, which are equipped with basic features and compatible with our international roaming-out service “WORLD WING”. The number of FOMA services subscribers increased steadily and reached 26.22 million as of June 30, 2006.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA) services were ¥5,420, ¥2,880 and ¥8,300, respectively.

 

    Cellular (mova) services

 

  In April 2006, we released the “mova P506iC II” which is compatible with “Osaifu-Keitai”*. Due to continuous progress in the migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the number of mova subscribers decreased to 25.46 million as of June 30, 2006.

 

  Voice ARPU, i-mode ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (mova) services were ¥4,460, ¥1,080 and ¥5,540, respectively.

 

  * “Osaifu-Keitai” refers to mobile phones equipped with a contactless IC card, as well as the useful function and services enabled by the IC card. With this function, a mobile phone can be utilized as electronic money, a credit card, an electronic ticket, a membership card, an airline ticket, among other things.

 

  The aggregate number of FOMA and mova services subscribers increased to 51.67 million. In June 2006, FOMA service surpassed mova service in the number of subscribers.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA+mova) services were ¥4,930, ¥1,970 and ¥6,900, respectively.

    i-mode services

 

  The number of subscribers using i-mode-FeliCa compatible handsets reached approximately 13.80 million as of June 30, 2006. The total number of i-mode services subscribers reached 46.82 million as of June 30, 2006.

 

  As for the global development, in June 2006, we agreed with Hutchison Telephone Company Limited (HTCL), a mobile operator in Hong Kong, that HTCL will introduce i-mode services in Hong Kong and Macau. The i-mode services are rolled out in 15 countries and areas including Japan as of June 30, 2006, and the number of i-mode services subscribers of all foreign carriers increased steadily.

 

    International services

 

  In June 2006, we lowered our tariffs and handset rental fees for “WORLD WALKER”, our international roaming-out service for mova users, and integrated the service brand name to “WORLD WING”, the service brand name for our international roaming-out service for FOMA users. As of June 30, 2006, we expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 136 countries and areas; for packet communications to 77 countries and areas; and for videophone calls to 25 countries and areas.

 


   

 

Note:

 

ARPU: Average monthly revenue per unit

 

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our subscribers and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. See page 15 for the details of the calculation methods.

    In order to further promote convenience of our “Osaifu-Keitai” handsets, we launched “DCMX” consumer credit services via the “iD” platform, which we established for mobile credit transactions. In April 2006, we first launched “DCMX mini”, which offers a monthly credit line of ¥10,000 with simple application procedures on i-mode. In May 2006, we launched “DCMX”, which allows users a higher credit line. With “DCMX” service, members can earn “DoCoMo points” based on their credit usage and apply for revolving or installment payment. The number of “DCMX” and “DCMX mini” members surpassed 300,000 as of June 30, 2006. We will continue to increase the number of shops and other sites equipped with “ID” compatible readers/writers.

4. Cash Flow Conditions

 

    Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥98.4 billion (down 69.9% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash provided by operating activities decreased mainly owing to an increase in the payment of income taxes to ¥218.6 billion from ¥56.2 billion in the same period of the prior year, when deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. were realized.

 

    Net cash used in investing activities was ¥264.6 billion (up 87.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash used in investing activities increased mainly due to increases in acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and non-current investments, and decreases in inflow of cash from sales of non-current investments and net-inflow of cash from investments with original maturities of longer than 3 months for cash management purpose.

 

    Net cash used in financing activities was ¥282.4 billion (up 314.7% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash used in financing activities increased mainly due to increases in repayments of outstanding debt, repurchasing of our own stock, and payment of dividend. We repurchased ¥50.0 billion of our own stock in the stock market during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

 

    Free cash flows were negative ¥166.2 billion. Free cash flows excluding changes in investments for cash management purpose were negative ¥165.9 billion.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “DoCoMo”) has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The followings are explanations regarding the adoption of new accounting standards in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the summary of revenue recognition.

 

1. Adoption of new accounting standards

 

Inventory Pricing

 

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs -an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 previously stated that such costs might be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

 

Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets

 

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets -an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 29” issued by the FASB. The amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

 

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

 

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections -a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and the FASB statement No. 3” issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 (“APB No. 20”), “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position. DoCoMo will continue to apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 to any future accounting changes and error corrections.

2. Summary of revenue recognition

 

Base monthly service charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues as service is provided to the subscribers. DoCoMo’s monthly rate plans for cellular (FOMA and mova) services generally include a certain amount of allowances (free minutes and/or packets), and the used amount of the allowances is subtracted from total usage in calculating the airtime revenue from a subscriber for the month. Prior to November 2003, the total amount of the base monthly charges was recognized as revenues in the month they were charged as the subscribers could not carry over the unused allowances to the following months. In November 2003, DoCoMo introduced a billing arrangement, called “Nikagetsu Kurikoshi” (two-month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over up to the following two months. In addition, DoCoMo introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances offered in and after December 2004 that have been carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of the other lines in the “Family Discount” group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and ten DoCoMo subscriptions. Until the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo had deferred revenues based on the portion of all unused allowances at the end of the period. The deferred revenues are recognized as revenues as the subscribers make calls or data communications, similar to the way airtime revenues are recognized, or as the allowance expires. As DoCoMo developed sufficient empirical evidence to reasonably estimate the portion of allowance that will be forfeited as unused, DoCoMo started to recognize the revenue attributable to such forfeited allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, effective April 1, 2006. The effect of this accounting change was not material for DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

 

Certain commissions paid to purchasers (primarily agent resellers) are recognized as a reduction of revenue upon delivery of the equipment to the purchasers (primarily agent resellers) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”.

 

Non-recurring upfront fees such as activation fees are deferred and recognized as revenues over the estimated average period of the customer relationship for each service. The related direct costs are deferred only to the extent of the upfront fee amount and are amortized over the same period.

ARPU Calculation Methods

 

1. ARPU (Average monthly revenue per unit)*1

 

  i) ARPU (FOMA + mova)

 

Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova)=Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova)

 

Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) : Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) : {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)}/ No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

  ii) ARPU (FOMA)

 

Aggregate ARPU (FOMA)=Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)

 

Voice ARPU (FOMA) : Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

Packet ARPU (FOMA) : Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

i-mode ARPU *2 (FOMA) : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA)

 

  iii) ARPU (mova)

 

Aggregate ARPU (mova)=Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova)

 

Voice ARPU (mova) : Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

 

i-mode ARPU (mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (mova)

 

  iv) ARPU (PHS)

 

ARPU (PHS) : ARPU (PHS) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active PHS subscribers

 

2. Active Subscribers Calculation Methods

 

  No. of active subscribers used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations are sum of No. of active subscribers *4 for each month.

 

  *1 Communication Module service subscribers and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU

calculations.

 

  *2 The denominator used in calculating i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is the aggregate number of cellular subscribers to each service (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova, respectively), regardless of whether i-mode

service is activated or not.

 

  *3 ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is calculated using only the number of active

i-mode subscribers as a denominator.

 

  *4 active subscribers = (No. of subscribers at the end of previous month + No. of subscribers at the end of current month) / 2

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Earnings Release contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of operational data such as expected number of subscribers, and expected dividend payments. All forward-looking statements that are not historical facts are based on management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and estimates based on the information currently available. Some of the projected numbers in this report were derived using certain assumptions that are indispensable for making such projections in addition to historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following:

 

    As competition in the market is expected to become more fierce due to changes in the business environment caused by the introduction of Mobile Number Portability and new market entrants, competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and average revenue per unit (ARPU), or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses.

 

    The new services and usage patterns introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could limit our growth.

 

    The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Limitations in the amount of frequency spectrum or facilities made available to us could negatively affect our ability to maintain and improve our service quality and level of customer satisfaction.

 

    The W-CDMA technology that we use for our 3G system and/or mobile multimedia services may not be introduced by other overseas operators, which could limit our ability to offer international services to our subscribers.

 

    Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.

 

    As electronic payment capability and many other new features are built into our cellular phones, and services of parties other than those belonging to our corporate group are provided through our cellular handsets, potential problems resulting from malfunctions, defects, or missing of handsets or imperfection of services provided by such other parties may arise, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Inadequate handling of subscriber information by our corporate group or contractors may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

 

    Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, and software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers and may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Concerns about wireless telecommunications health risks may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Our parent company, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU
u MOU(Minutes of usage): Average communication time per one month per one user.
u ARPU(Average
monthly Revenue Per Unit ):
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user
basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice
transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active
subscribers to the relevant services.  Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such
as
activation
fees.
We
believe
that
our
ARPU
figures
provide
useful
information
to
analyze
the
average
usage
of
our
subscribers
and
the
impacts
of
changes
in
our
billing
arrangements.
The
revenue
items
included
in
the
numerators
of
our
ARPU
figures
are
based
on
our
U.S.
GAAP
results
of  
operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.
