With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the European sovereign bond crisis caused further instability in the economies of developed countries, which when combined with the slow- down in the growth rates of emerging economies lead to an overall slow down in the pace of economic recovery. The Japanese economy, despite increased demand after the severe conditions following the Great East Japan Earthquake, experienced only a modest recovery due to the impact of the sluggish global economy, the protracted period of the strong yen, the damage from the flooding in Thailand and other factors.

In the information and telecommunications market, there has been a rapid shift towards broadband and ubiquitous services. In the fixed-line communications field, as optical broadband services expand, there has been a transition from conventional fixed line to optical IP telephones. In the mobile communications field, with the diversification and improvement of services and handsets, the competitive environment continues to intensify as a result of, among other things, the introduction of new rate plans. In addition, there have been substantial changes and developments, including customers’ growing interest in a safe and reliable telecommunications infrastructure in light of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the service integration between fixed-line and mobile communications and between telecommunications and broadcasting resulting from the shift to IP networks, and the introduction of new businesses, utilizing information and communications technologies (ICT), that transcend the existing business domains.

Under these circumstances, NTT Group worked to expand broadband and ubiquitous services pursuant to its Medium-Term Strategy, adopted in May 2008, entitled “Road to Service Creation Business Group.”

 

   

Broadband Services

In the fixed-line communications field, NTT Group continued to expand FLET’S Hikari services and improve its customer support services. In order to expand the number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers, NTT Group launched the two-tier fixed rate service, “FLET’S Hikari Light,” with lower basic monthly charges for customers who are just starting to use the Internet or have few opportunities to use the Internet.

In the mobile communications field, NTT Group worked to expand the lineup of smartphones, whose popularity is rapidly growing. In addition, the main services of i-mode were made compatible with smartphones and NTT Group started offering new services and functions such as “dmenu” for smartphones, which enables users to search various content. With respect to “Xi” (pronounced “crossy”), an LTE service with high-speed, large capacity and low latency features, NTT Group launched new voice services, added to data communications services, improved rate plans and expanded its service areas.

In order to increase Hikari use scenarios and to improve user convenience with respect to data communications by smartphones, NTT Group worked to expand the Wi-Fi environment. NTT Group actively developed and promoted the use of “FLET’s Hikari + Wi-Fi” at homes and the use of public wireless LAN outdoors by increasing the installation of public access points at public and retail facilities and by utilizing mobile Wi-Fi routers such as the “Hikari Portable.”

Upper Layer Services·Solutions Businesses

Group-wide efforts were directed towards the creation of services that use broadband networks. With respect to “Hikari TV,” in addition to the existing service enabling the viewing of videos on TV through FLET’S Hikari, NTT Group launched “Hikari TV Dokodemo” for viewing “Hikari TV” videos on smartphones and tablet devices.

With respect to cloud services, NTT Group expanded its service menus for services such as “BizCity” and “BizXaaS,” and promoted the building and provision of customer systems using these services and otherwise endeavored to provide solutions tailored to the industries and categories of its customers. In addition, NTT launched “Mobile Groupware” and other services that provide web-based email and schedule functions that enable customer use without regard to differences in devices between smartphones and PCs.

 

   

Global Businesses

NTT Group acquired foreign companies with the aim of expanding the lineup of its services and gaining personnel with the expertise and know-how of business operations. In particular, with respect to global expansion of cloud services, Dimension Data Holdings plc, one of NTT’s overseas subsidiaries, worked to reinforce its ability to provide implementation consulting and formulation by acquiring OpSource, Inc., which has the technology to provide automatic cloud implementation, operation and restoration.

NTT Group established new overseas offices to strengthen ICT service support to Japanese businesses operating abroad and to local businesses. NTT Group also worked to enhance its service platforms by, among other things, increasing the connection speed of the IP backbone between Japan and the U.S., where a high volume of data is exchanged, to 600Gbps.

NTT Group worked to strengthen its global strategy development framework through the maximization of synergies and promotion of cross-selling between its group companies, including overseas subsidiaries, and established committees formed from each group company on global strategy and personnel administration for the entire NTT Group.

 

   

Research and Development (R&D)

As part of its efforts to create new services, NTT Group engaged in R&D directed at the advancement of cloud services, video services, Home ICT and mobile services, on network platforms that support these services, and on the fourth-generation mobile communications systems that will succeed LTE. In addition, NTT Group also conducted R&D on the optical device technology that realizes low-power information telecommunications and quantum information processing as initiatives to develop advanced technologies for the future, while continuing R&D to develop new markets and services by the integration of industries and ICT, solutions for societal issues and disaster-resistant network services.

 

   

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

NTT Group took group-wide CSR initiatives to contribute to the continuous development of society. Especially with respect to the vision of “creating a low-carbon society,” one of the themes of NTT Group’s environmental vision, “The Green Vision 2020,” NTT Group as a whole adopted the “Green NTT” measure as means of promoting natural energy. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, NTT Group commenced the operation of three new solar power facilities and the total size of installed solar capacity reached approximately 4.4 megawatts. NTT will likely reach its initial target of 5.0 megawatts before the end of next fiscal year.

Restoration and Disaster Countermeasures Commenced at the Beginning of the Fiscal Year (ended March 31, 2012)

The Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011, caused service outages to approximately 1.5 million fixed-line related services, approximately 4,900 mobile base stations, and approximately 15,000 data communications services. As a result of NTT Group committing a total of 10,000 members to the restoration efforts, at the end of May 2011, NTT Group restored the function of all damaged exchange offices and base stations, except for certain areas where restoration work is difficult, such as areas surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

In terms of facility-related countermeasures against disaster, in addition to the existing efforts to enhance the durability of exchange offices and increasing the number of transmissions lines, NTT Group carried out further measures to install emergency power generators and make available batteries that last up to 24 hours, secure fuel and prepare for potentially long and geographically dispersed blackouts. Moreover, NTT Group installed large- zone base stations (mobile base stations which cover 360-degrees with a radius of about 7 km) to widely and efficiently ensure communications in densely populated areas and increased the number of deployed disaster countermeasure equipment, including satellite mobile base stations.

As an initiative in services, for times when it is difficult to connect to voice-message services due to a disaster, NTT Group launched the “Disaster Voice Messaging Service,” a service through which voice messages are sent as data files, and expanded its “Area Mail” function, which is used with emergency earthquake information, for example, by adding a new compatibility enhancement to provide tsunami information. Also, as a measure to ensure communication for disaster victims, including those who are stranded, NTT Group launched initiatives for convenience stores to be used as “information stations” such as by installing special public telephones and making public wireless LAN spots free-of-charge during disasters.

As a result, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 were 10,507.4 billion yen (an increase of 2.0% from the previous fiscal year). Consolidated operating expenses were 9,284.4 billion yen (an increase of 2.1% from the previous fiscal year). As a result, consolidated operating income was 1,223.0 billion yen (an increase of 0.7% from the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes was 1,239.3 billion yen (an increase of 5.4% from the previous fiscal year), and consolidated net income attributable to NTT was 467.7 billion yen (an decrease of 8.2% from the previous fiscal year).

The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 is as follows: operating revenues of 10,750 billion yen (an increase of 2.3% from the fiscal year under review), operating income of 1,280 billion yen (an increase of 4.7% from the fiscal year under review), income before income taxes of 1,265 billion yen (an increase of 2.1% from the fiscal year under review), and net income attributable to NTT of 575 billion yen (an increase of 22.9% from the fiscal year under review).

The business results for NTT (Holding Company) and each segment for the consolidated fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 are as follows.

[1] Provision of Advice and Intermediary Services to Group Companies

NTT provided appropriate and timely advice and intermediary services to group companies to facilitate the performance of business activities in line with group policies and objectives. Specifically, NTT proceeded with the full-scale development of ubiquitous broadband services in line with its Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group,” and provided advice and intermediary services for global businesses. In addition, NTT provided support to promote the promulgation of upper-layer services utilizing optical broadband services in particular, through its administration of the Next-Generation Services Joint Development Forum and joint operation of a start-up company whose investors include NTT Investment Partners Fund, L.P. As compensation for these services, NTT received 19.1 billion yen in group management and administration revenues for the fiscal year under review (same as the previous fiscal year).

[2] Fundamental R&D Activities

NTT has conducted R&D on basic technologies that could contribute to realizing an enriched broadband and ubiquitous society and solving societal issues, such as enhancing convenience of public administration, education and medical services, and environmental issues, based on the objectives set out in its Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group.”

Commercialization of the results of R&D was carried out through the “General Produce System” under which R&D achievements were integrated into marketing and planning activities for key business lines, in consideration of global developments, and through collaboration with other businesses. NTT was also engaged in R&D to develop disaster-resistant networks and services by utilizing lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake and research on advanced technologies for the future.

R&D Contributing to Service Creation

 

   

R&D for Promotion of Broadband and Ubiquitous Services

- NTT conducted R&D directed to realize the provision of safe and secure cloud services as social infrastructure. For example, NTT established security technology to improve user confidentiality, including an encryption method, and performed experiments to transfer functions between data centers without disconnecting services. NTT further developed a technology that creates new value in obtained information, by enabling the immediate analysis of high volumes of data (big data) collected in cloud networks.

- NTT developed a contents administration platform necessary for “NOTTV,” a dedicated broadcasting station for smartphones and tablet devices.

- NTT provided technical support on “FLET’S Joint,” a home ICT service and achieved its commercialization.

- In order to promote the expansion of optical broadband services, in areas that are difficult to conduct wiring installation, such as multi-unit apartment complexes, NTT developed an optical fiber that can be wired through spaces in doorways.

 

   

R&D Corresponding to Societal Challenges

- NTT developed and started to conduct field trials on a mutual platform for medical institutions and home-care patients which can safely distribute medical and health information, towards ICT use for the home medical care services. NTT also conducted an experiment of its Secure Computation, which enables statistical processing while protecting the privacy of diagnostic information in clinical research.

- With an aim to achieve efficient use of energy and to contribute to community development, NTT carried out technology development through smart communities (next generation energy, social systems) and worked towards the “visualization of energy consumption” and home appliance energy control.

- In the field of education, in order to support communications at school with hearing-impaired students, NTT conducted an experiment on technology that converts the words spoken by teachers into readable text on devices.

 

 

R&D to Provide Disaster Resistant Network Services

 

   

In preparation for the disruption of communication services due to a disaster, NTT built transportable Small Satellite Earth Stations for Disaster Recovery Operations capable of immediately securing temporary telecommunications circuits and developed a technology of automatic measurement and elimination of the distorted ultrafast optical signals, which enables the quick setup of temporary routes.

 

   

NTT implemented measures to provide network control technology that will allow large numbers of customers to access important communications during disasters, by re-establishing flexible communication lines throughout the entire network.

 

   

In order to improve the convenience of the Disaster Emergency Broadband Message Board, NTT developed a function of notifying registration information through e-mail and voice messages and dedicated research efforts towards developing an easy-to-use user interface.

Advanced Research

 

   

NTT worked towards the drastic reduction of energy consumption in the ICT field, and succeeded in building a laser operated by ultralow electricity current, and the world’s first optical random access memory chip, which allows storage of information without converting data into an electric signal.

 

   

NTT worked to produce innovative quantum computers with respect to information processing technology, and discovered an electron state that leads to a new method of inputting and reading quantum information.

 

   

In order to provide natural communication, NTT focused its research on the mechanics of signal control and processing within human brains.

As a result of these R&D activities, NTT’s total expenditures on R&D during the fiscal year under review were 125.5 billion yen (a decrease of 1.3% from the previous fiscal year), and NTT received basic R&D revenues of 120.9 billion yen (a decrease of 2.4% from the previous fiscal year) as compensation for these R&D activities.

[3] Share Ownership and Exercise of Voting Rights

NTT exercises its rights as a shareholder based on the principle that each group company should conduct its business activities in line with NTT Group’s policies and objectives, while maintaining their independence and autonomy. When exercising voting rights as a shareholder at the general shareholders meetings of each group company in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, NTT determined that the business practices, financial conditions, retained profits, and other conditions during the previous consolidated fiscal year (the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011) were appropriate and, accordingly, NTT voted to approve the disposition of unappropriated retained earnings based on proposals from each group company as well as the election of directors and other matters. As a result, NTT received 261.1 billion yen in dividends (an increase of 10.8% from the previous fiscal year).

As a result of the above activities, NTT’s operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 were 411.3 billion yen (an increase of 5.4% from the previous fiscal year), recurring profit was 259.3 billion yen (an increase of 13.8% from the previous fiscal year), and net income was 257.2 billion yen (an increase of 14.0% from the previous fiscal year).

In conjunction with the April 2012 launch of “Mobacas” (mobile-dedicated broadcasting) services, NTT DOCOMO increased its investment in mmbi, Inc., an approved key terrestrial broadcasting business operator for the mobile reception of “Mobacas,” prepared for the launch of the broadcasting station for smartphones, “NOTTV,” and started sales of two compatible handsets compatible with such services.

 

 

With the expansion of business synergies as a goal, NTT DOCOMO acquired Radishbo-ya Co., Ltd. (“Radishbo-ya”), which provides membership-based home-delivery of organic and low-pesticide vegetables and additive-free foods, through a tender offer, and executed a basic agreement of business and capital alliance between Radishbo-ya and Lawson, Inc.

 

 

NTT DOCOMO has executed a basic agreement for a capital and business alliance with OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd. based on the premise of founding a new company for the purpose of developing and providing health and medical support services.

[6] Series of Service Interruptions

With respect to the series of service interruptions of the “sp-mode” (an ISP service for smartphones) and packet switching, NTT DOCOMO received administrative guidance from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on January 26, 2012. NTT DOCOMO submitted a report on March 30, 2012 summarizing the measures it has taken to prevent mobile communications service interruptions, protect the confidentiality of communications and appropriately manage personal information. NTT DOCOMO extends its deepest apologies to customers for any inconvenience caused by these service interruptions.

NTT DOCOMO takes these matters very seriously. After the service interruptions on December 25, 2011, NTT DOCOMO established the “Task Force for Improvement of Network Infrastructure,” headed by the president and CEO, to promptly identify and rectify the cause of these problems and implemented drastic measures to improve the reliability for customers. In addition, NTT DOCOMO will make every effort to ensure that customers can continue to use its services safely and with peace of mind going forward by implementing measures to improve trust and expandability toward the creation of a network infrastructure that can support as many as 50 million smartphones. NTT DOCOMO will continually work to strengthen its facilities.

As a result of the above developments, and despite a decline in voice revenues due to the impacts from the penetration of “Monthly Support” discount programs in conjunction with the expansion of smartphone sales, consolidated operating revenues for the mobile communications business segment for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 were 4,240 billion yen (an increase of 0.4% from the previous fiscal year) due to an increase of IP/packet communications revenues and communications handset sales revenues as a result of NTT DOCOMO’s efforts to strengthen sales of smartphones. On the other hand, despite an increase in distributor commissions resulting from the increase in smartphone sales and an increase in wholesale unit prices of handsets, consolidated operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 were 3,363.6 billion yen (a decrease of 0.6% from the previous fiscal year) as a result of a decrease in handset repair fees and telecommunications facilities usage fees. As a result, consolidated operating income was 876.4 billion yen (an increase of 4.4% from the previous fiscal year).

(2) Analysis of Financial Standing

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was 2,508.3 billion yen in revenues. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash flow decreased 322.6 billion yen (11.4%) due to, among other factors, an increase in accounts receivable, as the last day of the fiscal year was a bank holiday and the collection of telephone charges was carried over to the following month.

Consolidated cash flow from investment activities amounted to 1,971.2 billion yen in cash outlays. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays decreased 81.0 billion yen (3.9%) despite an increase in short-term investments associated with cash management activities exceeding three months in duration, due to a decrease in cash outlays for the acquisition of newly consolidated subsidiaries.

Consolidated cash flow from financing activities amounted to cash outlays of 948.1 billion yen. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays increased 698.5 billion yen (279.8%). This increase was due to, among other factors, a repurchase of treasury stock by NTT and decreases in the issuance of both long-term and short-term debt.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 totaled 1,020.1 billion yen, a decrease of 415.0 billion yen (28.9%) compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

(3) Basic Policy Concerning Profit Distribution; Dividends in the Current Term and Next Term

In addition to increasing corporate value over the medium- and long-term, NTT has identified the return of profits to shareholders as an important management goal. In determining the level of dividends, NTT, while giving consideration to stability and sustainability, takes into account a full range of factors, including business performance, financial standing and dividend payout ratio.

It is planned that dividends for the current annual period will be 140 yen per share, comprising a 70-yen end-of-term dividend and a 70-yen interim dividend. For the next annual period, dividends are planned to be 160 yen for the full year.

While maintaining a good financial standing and as part of a capital policy to improve capital efficiency, NTT intends to use internal funds for investments in new business opportunities.

3. BUSINESS OPERATION POLICY

(1) Basic Business Operation Policy and Medium-Term Management Objectives

For over 100 years, NTT Group has been the mainstay behind the growth and development of Japanese telecommunications; this track record, the confidence that comes with it, and one of the world’s leading R&D capabilities serve as the foundation from which we will “continue to provide safe and secure services, and continue to always earn the trust of our customers and stakeholders.” With these words as our guide, we will fulfill the legal responsibilities and social mission demanded of each of our businesses in a market environment characterized by intense competition, and at the same time move proactively to develop our businesses to meet the needs of the ubiquitous broadband society of the 21st century. Our aim is for sustainable development backed always by a high level of trust from both our customers and our shareholders.

In furtherance of this basic business operation policy and in order to respond to the increasingly diversified and complex needs of customers in the wake of the rapid developments taking place in the information and telecommunications market, in November 2004 NTT Group announced “NTT Group’s Medium-Term Management Strategy” which articulates NTT Group’s strategic plan for providing greater convenience to its customers and contributing to overcoming social issues through the combination of NTT Group companies’ strengths to proactively build a broadband and ubiquitous services market. Since that time, NTT Group has made steady progress in the construction and commercialization of the NGN (Next-Generation Network) in line with these objectives. In May 2008, NTT also formulated a new medium-term strategy entitled “Road to Service Creation Business Group – full-scale rollout of broadband and ubiquitous service,” which outlines the next steps for the development of broadband and ubiquitous services following the deployment of both fixed and mobile full- IP network infrastructure, which was targeted for completion in 2010.

Pursuant to this business strategy, NTT Group will continue to focus its efforts on the creation and full- scale deployment of broadband and ubiquitous services through the utilization of NTT Group’s full-IP network platform, and on the transitional reform of its business and organizational structures from fixed line telephone and other legacy businesses towards a model centered around IP-related businesses, solution businesses and new business lines.

(2) Issues Facing the Corporate Group

Although the economy in Europe is stagnant, the global economy is expected to continue to steadily grow due in part to economic growth in developing countries. For the Japanese economy, while there are risks relating to the protracted period of the strong yen in Japan and the concomitant increased cost of resources, it is expected that economic conditions will gradually improve due to increased demand as a result of the restoration efforts in response to the Great East Japan Earthquake.

In the information and telecommunications market, though ICT expenditures for companies that had continued to face adverse economic conditions are expected to gradually recover, fierce competition is likely to continue as globalization continues to rapidly progress together with a shift towards broadband and ubiquitous services, and further expansion of cloud services and the development of new business models through the entry into the market of a diverse range of businesses is expected.

Pursuant to the Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group,” adopted in May 2008, NTT Group has been promoting the transformation of its business structure with a focus on revenues from IP businesses and solutions businesses. The next fiscal year (fiscal year ending March 31, 2013) will be the last year of this medium-term management strategy.

With respect to NTT Group’s transformation of its business structure, NTT had aimed for revenues from its IP businesses and solutions business to represent 75% of consolidated operating revenues during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and was able to raise the percentage to 70% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Further, with respect to earnings and expenses for Hikari services, such as “FLET’S Hikari,” while NTT Group had been experiencing deficits due to build-out investments, it has also realized solid improvements year by year. As planned, NTT Group expects to make a profit from Hikari services on a single-year basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Sales in global businesses, which have been rapidly expanding in recent years, exceeded US$10 billion in the current fiscal year, thus achieving its target one year ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile, with respect to the ratio of capital expenditures to sales (“Capex Ratio”), because NTT Group had to strengthen its networks due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and the expansion of smartphones, it will be extremely difficult to reach the target of 15% in the next fiscal year (Capex Ratio for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was 18.5%). NTT Group aims to make significant improvements by enhancing the efficiency of capital expenditures. With respect to operating income, NTT Group achieved 1,223 billion yen for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, while its target for the next fiscal year is 1,300 billion yen. NTT Group will continue to increase revenues by working to further reduce costs and addressing the following issues.

 

- 25 -


- Enhancement of ICT Services for Corporations and Government

To respond to the increasing diversification of customer needs, NTT will promote the development of integrated cloud services that combine the strengths of NTT Group for its applications, platforms, networks and terminals.

NTT Group will offer a service platform that can create new added value by organizing and collecting large-scale data called “big data” and by processing and analyzing the accumulated data through introducing M2M (machine-to-machine) technology into cloud services, which allows various devices, including smartphones, automobiles and home appliances to autonomously communicate with each other.

In cloud services, NTT Group will respond to needs in Business Continuity Plans (“BCP”), which has been a focus since the Great East Japan Earthquake, and which, for example, allows data centers around the world to function as if they were a single data center by enabling the flexible transfer of data within and between data centers.

To respond to such societal issues as the enhancement of convenience in government, education and medical services, environmental protection, the aging population and the declining birthrate, NTT Group will promote widespread ICT use. For example, with respect to “Education Square x ICT” in the education field, under which field trials are held in collaboration with local governments, NTT Group is accumulating knowledge by connecting schools to homes and schools to the world through educational cloud services. NTT will continue to work to expand the ICT use scenarios.

- Enhancement of Consumer Services

NTT Group will work to enhance ICT services that utilize fixed and mobile broadband, by promoting the further use of mobile broadband services through enhancing the lineup of “Xi”-compatible terminals and expanding service areas, and by expanding use scenarios of optical services through providing the two-tier fixed rate “FLET’S Hikari Light.”

In response to the diversification and expansion of handsets that can connect to networks, such as smartphones and tablets, NTT Group will make efforts to create and provide new services, such as by enhancing “dmenu,” “dmarket” and other platform functions, by providing “Hikari TV Dokodemo” for viewing videos on a smartphone, and by launching services such as the “NOTTV” broadcast station for smartphones.

In response to an increase in the amount of mobile communications data, NTT Group has been developing initiatives, such as expanding “Xi,” which is characterized by highly efficient radio frequencies, promoting the use of “FLET’S Hikari + Wi-Fi” in homes utilizing “Hikari Portable” and decentralizing the network burden by increasing the installation of public wireless LAN access points at public and retail facilities.

With the goal of not only acquiring new customers but promoting long-term use by existing customers, NTT Group will work to create a system that retains customers for the long-term, such as through long-term user discounts and membership programs.

- Strengthening of the Framework for Promotion of Global Businesses and the Enhancement of Services

With respect to NTT Group’s customer base of approximately 10,000 companies, which grew with the acquisition of Dimension Data Holdings plc during the last fiscal year, NTT Group will strengthen its efforts to develop new customers by utilizing group company synergies and cross-selling efforts. Further, NTT Group will accelerate the growth of its global businesses, both in terms of strategy and in terms of personnel administration.

Companies that promote business on a global scale are focused on flexible and swift management and risk distribution that understands the conditions at each of their operations that are located in various regions. Therefore, NTT Group will make efforts to provide comprehensive cloud services from applications to terminals, and in particular will work to strengthen its ability to provide applications and managed services.

- Responding to Environmental Issues

With respect to environmental issues, which are a global concern, NTT Group will bolster its efforts to reduce its environmental burden through the three initiatives below.

 

- 26 -


   

“Green of ICT”

This initiative is aimed at reducing the environmental burden resulting from ICT, through measures such as energy conservation at NTT Group’s data centers and communication facilities, and promoting natural energy generation.

 

   

“Green by ICT”

This initiative promotes the use of ICT, such as telecommuting and teleconferencing, to help reduce the environmental burden on society as a whole.

 

   

“Green with Team NTT”

Under this initiative, each NTT Group employee’s action will help reduce the environmental burden at the workplace, at home and in the community.

Through the adept use of ICT, NTT will contribute to the realization of environmentally friendly and smart communities by promoting a power visualization service for customers’ power consumption in office buildings and condominium complexes to support reduction of electric power consumption and energy saving.

- Initiatives for Secure and Safe Networks

With respect to disaster countermeasures, NTT Group will continue to work on initiatives in the areas of facilities and services, which were launched during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. Further, in anticipation of earthquakes with an epicenter in the Tokyo metropolitan area, NTT Group has been working to set up alternate base stations for its disaster countermeasure headquarters. In addition, with respect to support services such as the Disaster Emergency Message Dial (171), NTT Group will provide opportunities for periodic trial use and participate in drills aimed at helping individuals who are stranded after a disaster, hosted by local governments.

With respect to the improvement of networks in response to the increase in smartphone use, NTT Group will continue to work to improve reliability and expandability and to prevent the recurrence of network failures.

(5) Going Concern Assumption

None

(6) Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of NTT have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), etc.).

Principal Accounting Policies, etc.

Marketable Securities

ASC320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” applies.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of telecommunications equipment to be sold is determined by the first-in first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally using the declining-balance method with the exception of buildings for which the straight-line method is used.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

ASC350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” applies.

Liability for Employees’ Retirement Benefits

ASC715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” applies.

Derivative Financial Instruments

ASC815, “Derivatives and Hedging” applies.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed based on income (loss) before income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. According to the asset and liability approach, the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and of operating loss carryforward are recognized as deferred tax assets or liabilities.

(7) Change in Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

Effective April 1, 2011, NTT Group adopted ASU 2009-13 “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This ASU addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. This ASU eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements be allocated to deliverables using the estimated selling price, if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling price. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position of NTT Group.

Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements

Effective April 1, 2011, NTT Group adopted ASU 2009-14 “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements.” This ASU amends the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. This ASU also provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software, and further guidance on how to allocate arrangement consideration when an arrangement includes deliverables both included and excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations and financial position of NTT Group.

Calculation of ARPU

NTT

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. In the case of our fixed line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of our Regional Communications Business, 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 our mobile business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues from our Mobile Communications Business, such as revenues from Mobile (FOMA) services, revenues from Mobile (mova) services, and revenues from Mobile (Xi) services, which are incurred consistently each month (i.e., basic monthly charges and voice/packet communication 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 equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges. We believe that our ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our financial results comprising our 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 and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT East, and B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Premium, FLET’S Hikari Mytown, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT 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 using 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 number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers including B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT East and B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Premium, FLET’S Hikari Mytown, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT West.

(6) We separately compute the following three categories of ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO. Mobile Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) = Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi).

-Our Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges.

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

-Our Voice ARPU (FOMA) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (FOMA) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges, in each case attributable to our FOMA services.

Mobile Aggregate ARPU (mova) = Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova).

-Our Voice ARPU (mova) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (mova) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges, in each case attributable to our mova services.

(7) mova services were terminated as of March 31, 2012. Therefore, forecasts for Mobile Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi), Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) and Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) for the twelve months ending March 31, 2013 do not include mova service subscriptions. In addition, forecasts for Mobile Aggregate ARPU (mova), Voice ARPU (mova) and Packet ARPU (mova) for the twelve months ending March 31, 2013 are not provided.

(8) Communications module service, phone number storage service and mail address storage service subscribers and the revenues therefrom are not included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU.

(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 Apr. to Jun.

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012

With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the European sovereign bond crisis caused further instability in the economies of developed countries, which when combined with the slow-down in the growth rates of emerging economies, led to an overall slow down in the pace of economic recovery globally. The Japanese economy, despite improvements in supply and demand after the severe conditions following the Great East Japan Earthquake, is experiencing only a modest recovery due to the effects of the sluggish global economy, the protracted period of the strong yen, the damage from the flooding in Thailand and other factors.

The information and communications sector is growing due to increased Internet usage in conjunction with the increasing shift to IP and broadband services. The market is undergoing structural changes, including telecommunications and broadcasting convergence, fixed-mobile convergence, cloud computing ( * 1) development, and the rapid spread of high-speed wireless and Wi-Fi ( * 2) compatible devices, such as smartphones and tablet devices.

With respect to regional telecommunications markets, the market environments are also changing dramatically, with growing competition in broadband service facilities and services centered around the shift to fiber-optic access services, and the introduction of other new services that leverage various wireless devices.

Amidst such a difficult and volatile business environment, NTT East will continue to work as an “accessible all-around ICT ( * 3) corporation” that provides high quality and stable universal services, allowing customers to rely on its services with peace of mind, and to develop a disaster-resistant information and communications network and ensure reliability as a social infrastructure through activities such as prompt restoration of services in times of large-scale natural disasters and other calamities. In line with NTT Group’s Medium-Term Management Strategy “Road to Service Creation Business Group” (the “Medium-Term Management Strategy”) adopted by NTT in May 2008, NTT East has devoted its energy to promoting and enhancing the reliable and appealing broadband services that meet the needs of customers and local communities through the provision of new services and products, as well as the provision of price menus that are customer-friendly and for a longer term.

With respect to the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011, as a result of company-wide efforts and with the support from NTT Group companies and telecommunications engineering companies to restore telecommunications services and facilities, exchange office functions were restored for customers’ residential areas by the end of April 2011, approximately one month after the earthquake. Further, NTT East has worked towards the full-fledged restoration of communication facilities in the affected areas, to improve the reliability of service above pre-earthquake levels, as well as to fulfill its mission of maintaining service connections.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP Services

In line with the Medium-Term Management Strategy, NTT has been expanding the service area for FLET’S Hikari ( * 4) , and while sales activities were temporarily affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the number of subscribers surpassed 9 million in September 2011.

In its efforts to promote the spread and use of FLET’S Hikari, NTT East launched FLET’S Hikari Light, an optical broadband service providing a two-tier fixed rate system with low basic monthly charges for customers who are just starting to use the Internet or have few opportunities to use the Internet. NTT East also launched a new rate plan called “Ninen-wari,” with respect to “FLET’S Hikari Next” and “B FLET’S” services for single housing, a monthly charge discount service conditioned on the users staying subscribed for a period of 2 years.

In addition, in response to greater needs to use Wi-Fi outside the home or office due to the rapid increase in smartphones, tablet devices and other Wi-Fi-compatible devices, NTT East launched “Hikari Station,” a service that provides customers subscribed to FLET’S Hikari Next with an Internet environment via “FLET’S SPOT” at chain stores, retail shops, and public facilities and that enables such stores to distribute original content to their visitors. It also provides “FLET’S SPOT” at group stores of Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. (Seven & i) within the 23 wards of the Tokyo metropolitan area, allowing customers in Seven & i stores to comfortably use wireless LAN Internet on their Wi-Fi-compatible smartphones and other tablet devices.

NTT East also launched the “Hikari iFrame 2” tablet terminal for FLET’s Hikari users, which is compatible with the information distribution service, “FLET’S Market,” and is equipped with improved operability, upgraded memory, a water-resistant feature, a longer battery life, and new functions including Flash and PDF file compatibility. NTT East also launched the “Wi-Fi Cradle” for high-speed wireless LAN communications (up to 300 Mbps) as an option for the “Hikari Portable” service, which enables indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi use. Also, in light of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the need for more effective and long-term initiatives at corporations and at home for saving more energy than before, NTT East launched “FLET’s Miruene” for FLET’S Hikari users, a service that supports energy-saving at home and reduction of CO 2 by visualizing household electricity consumption and electricity supply data provided by power companies.

Meanwhile, NTT East is collaborating with a wide range of businesses. For example, in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation, which provides “SUMMIT Netsuper” ( * 5) services, and Sharp System Products Co., Ltd., which proposes new solutions through use of LCD TVs, NTT East launched an Internet-based supermarket service to enable users to enjoy shopping via TVs, with the aim of enhancing lifestyle convenience for the elderly and those in “food desert” areas, areas of increasing concern where shopping is inconvenient even in metropolitan areas. Also, in collaboration with Gurunavi, Inc. (“Gurunavi”), which provides promotional services to attract customers to restaurants, NTT East is promoting the installation of “FLET’S Hikari + Wi-Fi” at Gurunavi connected restaurants and consolidating the invoices of Gurunavi’s shopping sites with FLET’S Hikari’s invoice.

With respect to the membership program “FLET’S Hikari Member’s Club” intended for FLET’S Hikari subscribers, memberships surpassed 2 million in August 2011. Moreover, from March 2012, NTT East began providing a new monthly points service, calculated based on the number of years of continued membership, and also launched “Ninen-wari Renewal Points” intended for customers subscribed to the “Ninen-wari” plan, which rewards customers with 1,000 points at the time of the “Ninen-wari” plan renewal.

To enhance customer services, NTT East continued to make efforts to shorten the time for installation for fiber-optic access by promoting immediate decision-making with regards to scheduling installation dates using the “optical wiring method” ( * 6) for multi-dwelling units and by promoting remote installations.

(2) Measures Relating to the Solutions Business

NTT East engaged in efficient and effective ICT-based marketing activities tailored to regional customers, focusing on industry-specific solutions that incorporate industry characteristics and trends in such areas as local government, medical institutions, and education.

In the area of local government, NTT took active measures towards the elimination of the digital divide, by participating in the construction of fiber-optic facilities for local governments in disadvantaged areas ( * 7) , leasing the fiber-optic facilities of local governments under IRU ( * 8) contracts, and providing broadband services. NTT East also took active measures directed towards the provision of broadband service environments tailored to regional needs. In particular, through its restoration support activities following the Great East Japan Earthquake, in response to numerous requests from local governments for the ability to back-up important data at remote sites, NTT East has been engaging in a trials on the structure of storing its customers’ data through its data centers and network services in collaboration with Minamisanriku City in Miyagi Prefecture. Going forward, NTT East will develop solutions for reliably storing customers’ data to contribute to decreasing the risk of data loss in an emergency. In the field of medical care, due to the increasing need for health guidance that connects remote regions through ICT, NTT East introduced the “Hikari Health Consultation,” a cloud-based remote health consultation service that enables health consultations to be carried out via videophone between remote locations, and commenced live trials in health clinics in the Matsumoto region in Nagano Prefecture, and a trial run of “Timeline Link System,” which enables information sharing among regional medical institutions by connecting electronic medical records of different manufacturers and vendors.

With respect to its efforts to expand corporate VPN ( * 9) services for “FLET’S VPN Gate,” which enables the structuring of private corporate networks, NTT East began offering a “User authentication agent function,” that makes the building and operation of a private network easier by eliminating the need for an authentication server ( * 10) which conventionally had to be installed by the customer.

In its efforts to expand services for businesses, NTT East continued to seek alliances with businesses across a broad range of fields, including collaborating with Canon Marketing Japan Inc. on “OFFICE MARUGOTO SUPPORT,” which provides customers with one-stop support for equipment failures and other service trouble and will transmit information to Canon Marketing Japan Inc. if it determines that a malfunction of a Canon brand device is the cause of the trouble, and with Epson Sales Japan Corp. with respect to sales of ICT devices, maintenance, and other customer support within the office.

(3) Status of Business Operation Structures

With respect to the business operation structure, in May 2011, NTT East established the “Tohoku Future Network Design and Reconstruction Office” that directly reports to the President of NTT East in order to centralize its efforts to promote the full-fledged recovery of communication facilities in the Tohoku Area that suffered damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake in coordination with the recovery plans of local governments.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility Activities

NTT East considers Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) activities to be one of the most important pillars in the management of the company. NTT East believes that it is the social responsibility of a company to contribute to the environmentally-friendly, healthy and sustainable development of society. To this end, pursuant to the NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006), NTT East sought not only to comply with the law and address its efforts towards reducing the environmental burden of its operations, but also to maintain and gain the trust of its customers by providing a safe and secure communication infrastructure.

Furthermore, NTT East continued to direct its efforts towards compliance with laws and regulations with respect to protecting customer confidentiality, appropriate advertisement disclosure and worker dispatch, and also worked to strengthen its efforts towards ensuring fair competition. In addition to the efforts undertaken to date, and in conjunction with the amendment of the Telecommunications Business Act (enacted on November 30, 2011), NTT East clearly identified the organizations and subsidiaries responsible for the management and operation of information relating to other businesses and documented the rules for such management, including the management of such subsidiaries. In addition, NTT East’s efforts to ensure the enforcement of its compliance efforts included the setting up of a “compliance month” and hosting intensive training programs for each layer of its employees.

In response to the electricity shortage in the summer due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT East set up an Electricity Emergency Countermeasure Headquarters and implemented plans to reduce electricity consumption both at exchange offices and office buildings to the maximum extent possible. For buildings that use large volumes of electricity (500 kw or more), pursuant to the “Restrictions on Use based on Article 27 of the Electricity Business Act” released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, NTT East implemented joint use restrictions and restrictions mitigation applications, utilizing the “Joint Use Restrictions Scheme” jointly with the NTT Group companies (nine companies held under NTT Group). In addition, NTT East provided all “FLET’S Hikari” subscribers with the “PC Energy Saving Support” tool free of charge, a PC power-saving tool that enables reduction of electricity consumption at homes and offices.

In addition, in order to promote efforts to reduce the environmental burden at the office, at home, in local communities, and in a variety of other locations and situations, NTT East continued to execute the “NTT East Group Act Green 21” campaign, which encourages employees and others to raise environmental awareness by taking the “eco-Test” ( * 11) certification and by participating in local cleanup activities.

Furthermore, due to changes in the market environment and diversified customer needs, and in order to achieve future growth as an “accessible all-around ICT corporation,” NTT East positioned its diversity management ( * 12) as an important corporate strategy, and worked to foster and use diverse personnel, to promote various working styles and a work-life balance. In March 2012, in its efforts to further advance the promotion of diversity, NTT East set forth “diversity vision,” “diversity commitment,” and “three policies” as its slogans. In addition, as its current initiative, NTT East announced a plan to “double the number of female managers in 5 years (end of fiscal year 2016)” as its goal, and plans to establish “DAI « KIDS Hatsudai,” an in-office child care center utilizing ICT.

To promote the principles of the NTT Group CSR Charter and group-wide CSR activities, NTT East enhanced its CSR management by setting the “NTT East Group CSR Goals” and issued the NTT East Group CSR Report 2011 to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

We deeply regret the arrest and indictment of one of our employees for the alleged crime of bribery under the “Act concerning Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, etc.” We will implement measures centered around thorough employee training to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future.

(5) Status of Full-fledged Restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Status of Our Commitment to Improve Reliability

In order to improve the reliability level of communications networks that suffered damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake to above pre-earthquake levels, and to work towards the full-fledged recovery of exchange offices in the affected areas, NTT East has been taking measures to relocate damaged exchange offices to higher ground, relocate relay transmission lines underground in bridge areas and below waterways for sections that were washed away, and establish temporary relay transmission lines in the nuclear power plant areas. Furthermore, in order to further improve service reliability in eastern Japan, NTT East is implementing various measures to secure communications immediately after a disaster, such as building disaster-resistant facilities as countermeasures against blackouts and flooding at exchange offices, setting up disaster countermeasure equipment for the rapid restoration of communications services, promoting the preparation of free information stations during emergencies with emergency telephones and public wireless LAN, and providing “Hikari Mobile Battery”, a battery that can supply power through Hikari Denwa routers during blackouts to FLET’S Hikari and Hikari Denwa subscribers.

Meanwhile, for crisis management, based on the lessons learned from Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT East launched the “Large-scale Disaster Countermeasure Committee,” which evaluated measures to be taken upon the occurrence of disasters and converted action plans into policies. In order to improve its ability to continue its business operations after large-scale disasters and to test its disaster countermeasures, NTT East implemented a large-scale disasters drill in February 2012 in anticipation of an earthquake with an epicenter in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

(6) Financial Standing

As a result of these and other cost reduction efforts during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, operating revenues totaled 1,851.5 billion yen (a decrease of 5.4% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011), operating income totaled 50.3 billion yen (a decrease of 34.8% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011), recurring profit was 75.2 billion yen (a decrease of 21.7% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011), and net income totaled 32.1 billion yen (a decrease of 38.5% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011).

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012

With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the European sovereign bond crisis caused further instability in the economies of developed countries, which when combined with the slow-down in the growth rates of emerging economies, lead to an overall slow down in the pace of economic recovery globally. The Japanese economy, despite improvements in supply and demand after the severe conditions following the Great East Japan Earthquake, is experiencing only a modest recovery due to the effects of the sluggish global economy, the protracted period of the strong yen, the damage from the flooding in Thailand and other factors.

Information and communications services are expected to make significant contributions to increasing the efficiency of and invigorating social and economic activities and to improving lifestyle convenience by creating the foundations for a ubiquitous (*1) broadband network society where information communication technology (“ICT”) use is highly developed. The government and the private sector are working in partnership to achieve such goals. The information and telecommunications market is undergoing a structural change through the shift to broadband and globalization, and the spread of smartphones, tablet and other devices. This market is catering to increasingly sophisticated and diversified needs by, among other things, expanding cloud services and platform services, including video and music distribution. Regional telecommunications markets are experiencing an increase in competition for fiber-optic access services and cable television-based broadband. Regional telecommunications markets are also undergoing significant changes, such as the convergence of fixed and mobile services, and of telecommunications and broadcasting, caused by the shift to IP and use of a diverse range of wireless devices.

Within this challenging and dramatically changing business environment, NTT West is striving to be a “customer-oriented corporate group” that meets customer expectations, contributes to society and provides high quality, stable universal service. In line with NTT Group’s Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group – full-scale rollout of broadband and ubiquitous service ” (the “Medium-Term Management Strategy”) adopted by NTT in May 2008, NTT West has devoted its energy to promoting and expanding safe, secure, reliable, and appealing broadband and ubiquitous services that meet customers’ needs, through new services and products that utilize the framework of NGN (*2) and its networks.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP Services

In line with the Medium-Term Management Strategy, NTT West is working towards the realization of broadband and ubiquitous networks that enable customers to connect “anytime, anywhere and with anything” “in comfort, safety and peace of mind.” At the current ten-year anniversary of its launch, FLET’S Hikari subscriptions (*3) surpassed 7 million. NTT West is expanding opportunities to use FLET’S Hikari in a wide variety of applications while developing and expanding services that can support a broad range of customers, from individuals to businesses, in their day-to-day lives and business activities.

 

– 1 –


With respect to FLET’S Hikari Next, to address the problem of IPv4 address depletion (*4), NTT West began providing IPv6 address (*5) Internet (IPv6 PPPoE and IPv6IPoE) connection functions (*6). With respect to Hikari Denwa services, NTT West enhanced its services, including enabling transmissions to the “Teledome” service provided by NTT Communications, Inc.

To increase use of FLET’S Hikari, NTT West introduced FLET’S Hikari Light, a two-tier fixed rate service with monthly charges starting from 2,940 yen, with a price cap of 5,880 yen no matter how much customers use the service. NTT West also continued its expansion of the FLET’S TV (*7) service area, launched “EHIME-CATV and FLET’S Hikari,” a collaboration with EHIME-CATV, INC., in addition to other measures to enhance video services.

With the rapid increase in smartphones, tablet devices and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, there is a growing need for Wi-Fi capabilities outside the home and office. To address these needs, and to provide greater convenience to customers, NTT West lowered its monthly rates for FLET’S Spot, a public wireless LAN service, began offering the essentially free use of Wi-Fi through the Club NTT-West (*8) points exchange program, and, starting in February 2012, began expanding the service areas for “Web Authentication Protocols,” (*9) to which access is available with a broad range of handsets, including smartphones and tablet devices.

The “ie deji” concept (referring to the complete digitalization of the home) seeks to make day-to-day living and data sharing easier, more convenient, and more comfortable by linking all digital devices at the home through a network. It also seeks to enable customers to share and enjoy activities that they had until now enjoyed on their own with distant family and friends. As a support service, NTT West began providing the “Hikari Device Warranty,” enabling customers, by paying a flat monthly rate, to apply for an extended warranty of up to five years from the date of purchase of the device covering problems with their PC or television even after the time of purchase.

In addition, with respect to support services that are vital for the promotion of the “ie deji” business, NTT West prepared environments enabling the latest “ie deji” services and devices to be experienced from the perspective of a customer, constructed a research environment within the NTT West Research Center for the purpose of developing technical and customer service skills, and commenced research on wiring methods and new services and devices.

Further, NTT West carried out tests with Daiichikoushou Co., Ltd. and Yamaha Corporation to test the possibility of remote karaoke duets, by utilizing the technologies of “NETDUETTO” of Yamaha Corporation and of FLET’S Hikari and Hikari Denwa of NTT West with the online karaoke machine “LIVE DAM.”

(2) Measures Relating to the Solutions Business

As an initiative for large-scale and medium- to small-scale businesses, on April 1, 2011 NTT West launched a project in the Corporate Marketing Headquarters to make cloud-based business an integral part of the growth strategy for the entire NTT West group.

 

– 2 –


As part of its initiative to enhance its cloud-based services, NTT West aims to bolster its lineup of “Biz Hikari Cloud” services for local governments and medical and health institution (community) groups, and has begun providing “Biz Hikari Cloud Community Remote Health Consultations,” which enable health consultations in remote areas via videophone. NTT West also launched a cloud-based school support service for boards of education and school employees in elementary and middle schools that do not have servers or other IT resources, enabling them to carry out school-related business over a network.

As an initiative to collaborate with local governments, NTT West launched the Smart Hikari Town Kumamoto Project, as an opportunity to collaborate on the “comprehensive tie-up agreement relating to stimulating areas through the use of ICT” in Kumamoto Prefecture and Kumamoto City, and began looking into town-based cloud networks and services on the premise of participating in actual projects of governments, local companies and residents.

Other measures to expand business services included enhancing support services in order to build a framework of mutual cooperation to achieve one-stop (*10) customer support (for breakdowns and other troubleshooting) for information equipment in the office, by, among other things, forming new partnerships with Canon Marketing Japan, Inc., RICOH JAPAN Corporation, TOSHIBA TEC CORPORATION and Allied Telesis K.K.

(3) Status of Business Operation Structures

With respect to NTT West’s business operation structure, pursuant to the revision of the Telecommunications Business Law (enacted November 30, 2011), NTT West implemented structures for ensuring fair competition.

Further, based on lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT West has been carrying out disaster training in anticipation of the possibility of a series of earthquakes hitting Japan, for example in the Tokai, Tonan, and Nankai areas. As a countermeasure to the increase in third-party accidents caused by low-hanging telephone lines, NTT West implemented “planned facility inspections” and set priority conditions in determining the order of inspection areas.

In order to strengthen the operations and functions of the Remote Support Service, a service that has been well received for the provision of various forms of support by specialized operators in response to customer inquiries, NTT West made remote support services available on the same day as subscription.

Comprehensive cost controls intended to maintain profitable operations included efforts to raise the efficiency of fiber-optic service installation, such as promoting remote installation work for multi-unit dwelling orders (VDSL system), and NTT West was able to eliminate the need to dispatch personnel in over 90% of service terminations and more than 80% of service starts.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Activities

The NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006) stipulates that, as responsible members of the information and communication industry, NTT Group companies will provide services of the highest quality and trust and contribute to the development of a safe, secure and prosperous society where people, society and the earth are connected through communications. Based on the CSR Charter, NTT West set up three new core CSR principles – thorough compliance, development of a safe and secure society, and creation of value through business activities – and set a “visualization” benchmark. Each NTT West employee takes part in CSR activities, including working to maintain legal compliance, providing safe and reliable communication services and reducing the burden on the environment.

In particular, with respect to thorough compliance, NTT Group has promoted groupwide initiatives in five high risk areas that could shake consumer trust in NTT West group companies, namely “misconduct in performing services,” “driving under the influence,” “information security breaches,” “power harassment” and “respect for human rights.”

In order to achieve its environmental grand design (new self-determined action plan targets) based on the NTT Group Environmental Vision (The Green Vision 2020) established in November 2010, NTT West has been working to decrease its power usage, amount of paper used, and the waste it produces. In addition, NTT West has set up model offices in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka that demonstrate and propose a new work style that makes use of ICT solutions helpful in decreasing the burden on the environment.

To promote the principles of the NTT Group CSR Charter and group-wide CSR activities, NTT West enhanced its CSR management and issued the NTT West Group CSR Report 2011 to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

With respect to the Great East Japan Earthquake which occurred in March 2011, NTT West, in collaboration with NTT Group, took immediate action after the earthquake to provide support in supplying power to communications facilities that used mobile power supply vehicles in blackout areas, set up special public phones using portable satellite phones, secured communications for important institutions such as the city halls of local governments, and was active in support activities to restore facilities in areas requested by NTT East, with a focus on the southern part of Iwate Prefecture, such as Kamaishi City and Ofunato City. Approximately 2,000 employees took an active role in restoration and support activities.

In addition, despite record-setting heavy rains in the Kinki and Tokai regions, and major damage caused by Typhoons 12 and 15 to NTT West’s communications facilities, communications services were quickly restored due to close cooperation with local governments and the Self Defense Force and restoration efforts were carried out around the clock by employees from companies throughout NTT Group.

Also, in response to power shortages resulting from the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT West implemented the maximum power saving measures possible at both its exchange offices and office buildings.

I. Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced today that its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 saw net income decrease 15.5% year on year to 58.3 billion yen, operating revenues decrease 5.1% to 981.0 billion yen and operating income increase 13.4% to 105.7 billion yen. Operating expenses shrank 6.9% to 875.2 billion yen. All results are based on Japanese accounting principles.

BACKGROUND

Although some observers suggested that Japan’s economy gradually recovered from the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and floods in Thailand during the year, the outlook remained uncertain due to the slowdown in global economic growth, the European debt crisis, the continuing strength of the yen, the downturn in consumer confidence and the restrictive effect on economic activities caused by Japan’s limited supply of electricity. At the same time, ICT needs became increasingly sophisticated and diverse due to factors such as the accelerated global expansion of corporate activities, the market for cloud services shifting into high gear, the increasingly ubiquitous environment resulting from the rapid popularization of smartphone and tablet devices, and the popularization of social media. Furthermore, the structure of the ICT market rapidly evolved and global competition both intensified and diversified.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

NTT Com is striving to become a global ICT services leader that customers worldwide choose as their optimal partner, and the company also aims to further improve its strengths, especially in Asia. Both objectives are central pillars of the company’s Vision 2015 growth strategy and corporate slogan “Global ICT Partner – Innovative. Reliable. Seamless.” By FY 2015 NTT Com aims to achieve group operating revenues of 1.5 trillion yen, including more than double the FY 2010 level of global sales.

In FY 2011, the first year of Vision 2015, NTT Com fundamentally re-examined its business processes and upgraded on-site (field) capabilities, aiming to return to the growth track by leveraging inherent strengths. Changes were implemented rapidly and boldly, and were focused on providing services that enable customers to achieve enhanced value. In addition, measures were taken group-wide to achieve more seamless services, user coverage, operations and human resources.

 

– 1 –


In August 2011, resources and know-how dispersed throughout the company were restructured into three aggregated functions – sales, services and operations – placing a special emphasis on the keywords “service-orientation” and “seamlessness.” The goal has been to optimize these functions under a restructured organization to realize greater competitive advantages.

In sales, the top priority was placed on sales skills and the development of new markets by proposing services that enable customers to enhance their value. Also, to offer greater value through more seamless global operations, innovative new changes were introduced in frameworks and procedures, such as establishing a structure for global account management and increasing the use of sales force automation for greater effectiveness and efficiency.

In services, related technologies as well as services were strengthened, structures were created for unified operations in all stages, from planning and technical evaluation to development and support, and new services were launched by leveraging development resources from the perspective of total optimization.

In accordance with the company’s Global Cloud Vision, total ICT outsourcing offerings were expanded to cover everything from networks and data centers to servers, applications and security, all on a seamless, end-to-end, one-stop basis to meet the needs of cloud customers. Also, cooperation among service units was strengthened for improved service development and delivery.

Specific measures taken by type of service were as follows:

 

   

System Integration

In response to trends in the ICT field and changes in customers’ business models, NTT Com upgraded its global network to connect customer offices worldwide and migrated customers’ on-premise systems to cloud services. As a result, globally seamless, one-stop operations were realized and customers were offered total outsourcing services that helped them to improve their productivity and efficiency.

 

   

Cloud Platforms

Cloud n was launched as a new public cloud service offering abundant APIs and priced attractively within the industry’s lower pricing tier. The Tokyo 5 Data Center began operating as a highly eco-minded facility with advanced disaster preparedness features. Construction started on the Tokyo 6 Data Center, which will become the metropolitan area’s largest data center, and the Cyberjaya 3 Data Center in Malaysia.

Applications and Content

New services, such as Biz Mail and Biz Desktop, met customer needs for ICT outsourcing and telecommuting. Group subsidiary NTT Plala saw contracts for its Hikari TV fiber-optic cable service reach two million in March 2012, and the company launched its Hikari TV Dokodemo and Hikari TV Mobile services for smartphone and tablet users.

 

   

Data Networks

In response to increased market demand for cloud and global services, NTT Com launched Arcstar Universal One, a new network service for corporate clients, and expanded overall service coverage to 159 countries. Two new services were launched to meet rapidly expanding mobile needs: the mobile data communication service OCN Mobile Entry D and the closed mobile service Arcstar Universal One Mobile.

Two new IP phone services compatible with smartphones and tablet devices were started: 050 plus and 050 plus for Biz. Also, the Arcstar Unified Communication Service offering globally seamless voice communication for multinational companies was enhanced with the launch of the UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) Plan, which provides access to multiple means of communication on a flexible cloud-basis, and the expansion of the SIP Trunking Plan for wider external dialing.

And finally, in the area of operations, productivity was enhanced through total optimization. For example, operations in which all procedures had been handled on a service/product basis were standardized and simplified for improved efficiency. In addition, global operations were optimized by reorganizing territories by language, platform equipment was simplified by introducing new methods and internal IT systems were aggregated through elimination and consolidation.

In addition, NTT Com enhanced its capabilities to provide value-added ICT services and meet the demands of multinational companies by acquiring Frontline Systems, an Australian provider of IT infrastructure, IT consulting and managed services. Also, an agreement was reached to acquire a stake in Netmagic Solutions, a leading provider of datacenter services in India.

OPERATING RESULTS

Operating revenues declined again in the 2011 fiscal year. Voice transmission services revenues decreased 8.2% to 324.2 billion yen, IP services revenues were down 1.9% to 374.4 billion yen, data communications services revenues decreased 13.7% to 78.3 billion yen and solution services revenues declined 1.0% to 179.7 billion yen. Total operating revenues decreased 5.1% to 981.0 billion yen.

On the positive side, tighter cost controls lowered expenses for purchases of goods and services by 5.5% to 429.5 billion yen. Access charges decreased 10.4% to 236.5 billion yen due to lower voice transmission service charges. Total operating expenses declined 6.9% to 875.2 billion yen.

As a result, operating income increased 13.4% to 105.7 billion yen and net income decreased 15.5% to 58.3 billion yen, which included the booking of special profits of 3.7 billion yen on sales of real estate and special losses of 9.5 billion yen on reduced stock valuations.

5. Average Monthly Revenue per Unit (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. In the case of our fixed line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of our Regional Communications Business, 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 our mobile business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues from our Mobile Communications Business, such as revenues from Mobile (FOMA) services, revenues from Mobile (mova) services and revenues from Mobile (Xi) services which are incurred consistently each month (i.e., basic monthly charges and voice/packet communication 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 equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

We believe that our ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our financial results comprising our 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 and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT East, and B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Premium, FLET’S Hikari Mytown, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT 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 using 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 number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers including B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT East and B FLET’S, FLET’S Hikari Premium, FLET’S Hikari Mytown, FLET’S Hikari Next and FLET’S Hikari LIGHT provided by NTT West.
   (6)    We separately compute the following three categories of ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) = Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi).
            Our Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) = Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA).
            Our Voice ARPU (FOMA) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (FOMA) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges, in each case attributable to our FOMA services.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (mova) = Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova).
            Our Voice ARPU (mova) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges, and our Packet ARPU (mova) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as basic monthly charges and packet communication charges, in each case attributable to our mova services.
   (7)    mova services were terminated as of March 31, 2012. Therefore, forecasts for Mobile Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi), Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) and Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova+Xi) for the twelve months ending March 31, 2013 do not include mova service subscriptions. In addition, forecasts for Mobile Aggregate ARPU (mova), Voice ARPU (mova) and Packet ARPU (mova) for the twelve months ending March 31, 2013 are not provided.
   (8)    Communications module service, phone number storage service and mail address storage service subscribers and the revenues therefrom are not included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU.
   (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 Apr. to Jun.
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jul. to Sept.
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Oct. to Dec.
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jan. to Mar.
            FY Results : Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Mar.
            FY Forecast: Sum of the average expected active Number of subscribers during the fiscal year ((Number of subscribers at Mar. 31, 2012 + Number of expected subscribers at Mar. 31, 2013)/2)x12
   (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 Apr. to Jun.
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jul. to Sept.
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Oct. to Dec.
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jan. to Mar.
            FY Results/FY Forecast: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Mar.
      ** active subscribers = (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2
