Earnings Release for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
<< 1. Operating Results >>
1. Business Overview
Competition among the network operators in the mobile communications market in Japan, which already entered a phase of maturity given the high penetration rate, has been fueled by recent price competitions and market entry by new competitors such as MVNO*.
In such market environment, we started to offer free of charge calls for 24 hours among family members with FOMA subscription in the same “Fami-wari MAX50” account. We decided to discount the basic monthly charge of a billing plan called “Type SS Value”. We also released “FOMA 906i” series handsets and launched a new service called “Home U” which enables subscribers to make/receive a call and transmit data via local broadband connection with a compatible FOMA handset. We strived for further penetration of our new discount programs and new handset sales methods, which we believe are appropriate for the current market conditions.
In April 2008, we announced the “New DOCOMO Commitments,” which sets forth the vision for reforming DOCOMO, and upgraded privilege for membership of DOCOMO premium club in order to further promote sustainable loyalty from our valued customers.
As a result, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, operating revenues were ¥1,170.2 billion, operating income was ¥296.5 billion, income before income taxes was ¥288.4 billion and net income was ¥173.5 billion.
*  
MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator): a service provider who leases the physical wireless communication infrastructure from other network operators to provide wireless services.

<<3. Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2009 >>
Competition in the Japanese mobile communications market has become fiercer due to recent price competitions, market entry by new competitors such as MVNO and other factors.
Under such market condition, we projected our operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 to be ¥4,768.0 billion, in which a decrease in ARPU due to an adverse impact of revision of billing plans and discount programs would be offset by an increase in equipment sales due to further penetration of new handset sales methods. We will continue our cost saving efforts including efficient allocation of sales commission and reduction of network cost through improvement of administrative processes, which we expect will result in an increase in operating income by ¥21.7 billion to ¥830.0 billion from the prior fiscal year. As we are currently not aware of any factors which may have a material impact on our projected results of operations, we have not revised our projection which was announced on April 25, 2008.
*   Explanation for forecasts of operation and other notes:
The mobile communications market in Japan is characterized by rapid changes in the market environment due to technical innovations, market entry by new competitors and other factors. To respond to such changes, our corporate group may introduce new billing plans or other measures that could potentially have a significant impact on our revenues and income. The timing of introduction of such measures will be decided after comprehensively taking into consideration our operational circumstances and the actions of our competitors, and therefore, is not necessarily decided beforehand. Such measures, depending on the timing of implementation, may significantly affect our results forecasts to be made at the time of our first-quarterly results announcement. Providing such prospects on a quarter-year basis, therefore, may not be adequate or useful as information to be disclosed to investors. Accordingly, we will provide prospects for the full year only, and report the progress vis-à-vis the projected full-year forecasts by disclosing actual results on a quarterly basis.

Fair Value Measurements
Effective April 1, 2008, DOCOMO adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although the definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value, SFAS No. 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, rather than an entity-specific measurement. SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities subsequent to initial recognition through fair value hierarchy as a framework for measurement. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on DOCOMO’s results of operations and financial position. The disclosure required by SFAS No. 157 was omitted in this earnings release.

Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
1.  
Definition of ARPU and MOU
  i)  
ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)1 :
 
     
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions 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 per subscription 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.
 
  ii)  
MOU (Minutes of Usage): Average monthly communication time per subscription.
2.  
ARPU Calculation Methods
  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 communication
           charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova): {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication/
           charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges)}/
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) 2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet
           communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) 3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly
           charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (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 communication charges) /
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) /
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
i-mode ARPU2 (FOMA): i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) /
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) 3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet/
           communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (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 communication charges) /
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
i-mode ARPU (mova) 2 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet communication charges) /
           No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) 3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges,/
           packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (mova)
3.  
Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
 
   
No. of active subscriptions used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations is as follows:
 
   
No. of active subscriptions for each month:
 
   
(No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2
 
   
No. of active subscriptions for full-year results/forecasts:
 
   
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month from April to March
     
1  
Communication Module service subscriptions 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 subscriptions 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 subscriptions as a denominator.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU ^ MOU (Minutes of usage): Average communication time per one month per one user. ^ 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 subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in our wireless services revenues, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions 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 per subscription 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. ^ 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 subscriptions (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 subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ^ i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova): i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ^ 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 subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ i-mode ARPU (FOMA): i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ^ 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 subscriptions (mova) ^^^ i-mode ARPU (mova): i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova) ^ Number of active subscriptions used in ARPU and MOU calculations are as follows: ^^^ Quarterly data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current quarter ^^^ Half-year data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current half ^^^ Full-year data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current fiscal year ^^^* "No. of active subscriptions in each month": (No. of subs at end of previous month + No. of subs at end of current month)/2 ^The revenues and no. of subscriptions of Communication Module Service are not included in the above calculation of ARPU and MOU.
