The consolidated financial information of the registrant and that of its subsidiary NTT DOCOMO, INC., included in the press release and the supplementary data relating thereto, were prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

These projections and estimates may be affected by the future business operations of the registrant and its subsidiaries and affiliates, the state of the economy in Japan and abroad, possible fluctuations in the securities markets, the pricing of services, the effects of competition, the performance of new products, services and new businesses, changes to laws and regulations affecting the telecommunications industry in Japan and elsewhere, other changes in circumstances that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results that may be derived from the forward-looking statements, as well as other risks included in the registrant’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings and submissions with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

No assurance can be given that the registrant’s actual results will not vary significantly from any expectation of future results that may be derived from the forward-looking statements included herein.

1. Summary Information (notes)

 

(1) Change in significant consolidated subsidiaries during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, that resulted in changes in the scope of consolidation: None

 

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

 

(3) Change of accounting policy: Yes

Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-17 “Balance sheet classification of deferred taxes” which requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet.

Effective April 1, 2017, NTT Group adopted this ASU prospectively and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

On January 26, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which replaces the two-step goodwill impairment test with the one-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this update require that an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

The adoption of ASU 2017-04 would be permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. NTT Group adopted this ASU for goodwill impairment test with measurement date on July 1, 2017.

Change in Fiscal Year End of Certain Subsidiaries

As of April 1, 2017, certain of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries changed their fiscal year ends from December 31 or January 31 to March 31, thereby eliminating a three-month or two-month lag between their fiscal year ends and NTT’s fiscal year end in NTT’s quarterly consolidated financial statements. The elimination of this lag was applied as a change in accounting policy. NTT did not make any retrospective adjustments to its financial statements as these changes did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 or the year ended March 31, 2017. As a result of this change, NTT’s retained earnings have increased by ¥964 million, and its accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and noncontrolling interests have decreased by ¥3,351 million and ¥2,012 million, respectively, as of the beginning of the current fiscal year.

(5) Subsequent Events

NTT DOCOMO’s repurchase of its common stock

On October 26, 2017, the Board of Directors of NTT DOCOMO resolved that NTT DOCOMO may acquire up to 120 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥300,000 million from October 27, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

On December 11, 2017, the Board of Directors of NTT DOCOMO resolved that NTT DOCOMO may acquire up to 93,248,787 shares of its outstanding common stock by way of tender offer at an amount in total not exceeding ¥250,000 million from December 12, 2017 through January 15, 2018. Based on this resolution, NTT DOCOMO repurchased 75,678,037 shares of its common stock at ¥202,893 million on February 6, 2018, 74,599,000 shares of which NTT sold back to NTT DOCOMO at ¥200,000 million. Due to NTT DOCOMO’s repurchase transactions, NTT’s ownership interest in NTT DOCOMO decreased from 66.7% to 66.0%. NTT expects to recognize the difference between the consideration paid to the non-controlling interest holders and the decrease in the carrying value of such non-controlling interests resulting from this transaction as an adjustment to “Additional paid-in capital” in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018.

The Board of Directors of NTT DOCOMO also resolved that NTT DOCOMO may acquire up to 44,321,963 shares of its outstanding common stock * by way of repurchases on Tokyo Stock Exchange for an amount in total not exceeding ¥97,107 million * from the next business day following the expiration of the tender offer through March 31, 2018. NTT DOCOMO did not make repurchase by way of repurchases on the market in January 2018.

 

  * The number of shares remaining after subtracting the number of shares acquired by way of tender offer from the maximum limit of 120 million shares and the amount remaining after subtracting the total amount used to repurchase the shares acquired by way of tender offer from the maximum limit of ¥300,000 million.

Notes :    (1)    Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2017, the method for calculating EBITDA has been revised to add Loss on Sales of Property, Plant and Equipment and Impairment Losses. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, as calculated using the previous method including only Operating Income and Depreciation and Amortization, and Loss on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment, would have been 695.3 billion yen and 22.7%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2,359.3 billion yen and 27.0%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2017. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin figures presented in the table above have been retroactively recalculated using the new calculation method.
   (2)    Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2018 have not been changed from those announced in the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

Note:    (1)    Due to the revision of NTT DATA’s global management structure on July 1, 2017, NTT DATA changed the method of classification and disclosure of segment information starting from the six months ended September 30, 2017. Under the new segments, the results for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were 130.2 billion for North America, 249.4 billion yen for EMEA & LATAM, and (169.9) billion yen for Elimination or Corporate, and the results for the year ended March 31, 2017 were 246.3 billion for North America, 330.8 billion yen for EMEA & LATAM, and (243.9) billion yen for Elimination or Corporate. The new Elimination or Corporate segment includes certain figures that would have been included in former segment areas such as China/APAC.
   (2)    Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2018 have not been changed from those announced in the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

   (2)   “INS-Net” includes “INS-Net 64” and “INS-Net 1500.” In terms of number of channels, transmission rate, and line use rate (base rate), “INS-Net 1500” is in all cases roughly ten times greater than “INS-Net 64.” For this reason, one “INS-Net 1500” subscription is calculated as ten “INS-Net 64” subscriptions (including subscriptions to the “INS-Net 64 Lite Plan”).
   (3)   Number of “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” subscribers includes subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West and subscribers to the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (4)   The comparative results for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended March 31, 2017 for “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” are as follows: the numbers of new subscribers for NTT East and NTT West were 1,184 thousand lines and 919 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,103 thousand lines; the numbers of new subscribers (excluding switchover lines) for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” for NTT East and NTT West were 840 thousand lines and 602 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 1,441 thousand lines; and the numbers of switchover lines for NTT East and NTT West were 712 thousand lines and 635 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 1,348 thousand lines.
   (5)   The comparative forecast for the year ending March 31, 2018 (Forecast) compared to the results for the year ended March 31, 2017 for “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” are as follows: the numbers of new subscribers for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 1,700 thousand lines and 1,200 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,900 thousand lines; the numbers of new subscribers (excluding switchover lines) for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 1,250 thousand lines and 850 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,100 thousand lines; and the numbers of switchover lines for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 1,100 thousand lines and 1,000 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,100 thousand lines.
   (6)   Numbers of subscribers for “Hikari Denwa” and “FLET’S TV Transmission Services” include wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (7)   “NTT Group Major ISPs” includes “WAKWAK” and “InfoSphere,” in addition to “OCN” and “Plala.”
   (8)   Number of Mobile Telecommunications Services (including “Telecommunications Services (LTE (Xi))” and “Telecommunications Services (FOMA (3G))”) includes Communication Module Services.
   (9)   Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2018 have not been changed from those announced in the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

4. Operating Data

Average Monthly Revenue per Unit (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to each designated service on a per user basis. In the case of NTT Group’s fixed-line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of NTT Group’s regional communications business segment, that is, fixed-line (telephone subscriber lines and INS-NET) and FLET’S Hikari, by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services.

In the case of NTT Group’s mobile communications business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in operating revenues from its mobile communications business segment, such as revenues from LTE (Xi) mobile phone services, FOMA (3G) mobile phone services and “docomo Hikari” services, that are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active users to the relevant services. The calculation of these figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage, such as telecommunications equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

NTT believes that its ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of its subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of NTT Group’s ARPU figures are based on its financial results comprising its U.S. GAAP results of operations.

Notes :

   (1)   We compute the following two categories of ARPU for business conducted by each of NTT East and NTT West.
    

a.  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.

    

b. FLET’S Hikari ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” (including “FLET’S Hikari” optional services), which are included in operating revenues from IP Services, revenues from monthly charges, call charges and connection device charges for “Hikari Denwa,” and revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” optional services, which are included in Supplementary Business revenues.

    

-  “FLET’S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West. In addition, “FLET’S Hikari” also includes the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.

    

-  “FLET’S Hikari” Optional Services includes wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.

   (2)   Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.
   (3)   Numbers of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.
    

-  Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month in the relevant quarter

    

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

    

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

    

-  FY Forecast : Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to September and sum of the average expected active number of subscribers* from October to March ((number of subscribers at September 30, 2017 + number of expected subscribers at March 31, 2018)/2)x6

    

*active subscribers =  (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2

   (4)   For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for fixed-line services (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines).
   (5)   In terms of number of channels, transmission rate, and line use rate (base rate), INS-Net 1500 is in all cases roughly ten times greater than INS-Net 64. For this reason, for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS-Net 64 subscriptions.
   (6)   For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers, which includes subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West, and the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (7)  

The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for NTT DOCOMO.

a.  Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU

b. Data ARPU = Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU

    

-  Voice ARPU: Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active users

    

-  Packet ARPU: Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active users

    

-  “docomo Hikari” ARPU: “docomo Hikari” ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active users

   (8)   Numbers of active users used in the ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
    

-  Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active users* for each month in the relevant quarter

    

-  Nine-month Results (from April to December): Sum of number of active users* for each month from April to December

    

-  FY Results/FY Forecast : Sum of number of active users*/expected number of active users* for each month from April to March

    

*active users = (number of users at end of previous month + number of users at end of current month)/2

   (9)   The number of “users” used to calculate ARPU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:
    

a.  Subscriptions of communication modules services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); and

    

b. Data Plan subscriptions in the case where the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription for “Xi” or “FOMA” services in his/her name.

     Note that revenues from communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not included in ARPU calculations.
   (10)   Forecasts for the year ending March 31, 2018 have not been changed from those announced in the financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2017.
