Earnings Release for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010
1. Information on Consolidated Results
(1) Operating Results
i. Business Overview
As Japan’s mobile phone market continues to mature in line with the rise in cellular penetration rate, competition among operators remains intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings.
Under these market conditions, we developed our new corporate vision “Pursuing Smart Innovation: HEART” with the aim of achieving further growth and delivering new values to customers in view of the possible changes in society in the future.
Based on our medium-term action plan “Change and Challenge”, we continued to promote various measures aimed at improving customer satisfaction, and earned splendid appraisals from external organizations. Positioning this fiscal year as “a year to enter the execution phase” to realize the goals of our “Challenge” programs, we expanded the smartphone market, launched “Xi” (pronounced crossy) service using the LTE system—a new mobile communications standard and implemented various other measures to achieve an increase in packet ARPU (average monthly revenue per unit).
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, with respect to our cellular services revenues, although voice revenues decreased by ¥140.5 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year due to a decline in voice ARPU, packet communications revenues increased by ¥76.6 billion as a result of our efforts to boost packet usage and expand the uptake of packet flat-rate services. Other revenues grew by ¥54.6 billion owing mainly to an increase in the subscriptions to “Mobile Phone Protection & Delivery Service” and other factors. Equipment sales revenues decreased by ¥23.9 billion due to a decline in wholesale price per unit. Consequently, we recognized operating revenues of ¥3,209.1 billion (a decrease of ¥33.2 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year). We recognized operating expenses of ¥2,450.6 billion (a decrease of ¥89.1 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year) as a result of a decrease in network-related costs achieved through efficient use of capital expenditures and other ongoing cost-cutting efforts. As a result of the foregoing, we recorded an operating income of ¥758.5 billion (an increase of ¥55.8 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year). Income before income taxes was ¥748.6 billion and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. was ¥444.0 billion.

DOCOMO Earnings Release   Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010
ii. Segment Results
Mobile phone business—
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we continually implemented various actions aimed at enhancing customer satisfaction, and received the No.1 rating by J.D. Power Asia Pacific in its customer satisfaction study*1. We also released 18 new models of mobile phones and smartphones, including the “GALAXY S,” to offer products and services catered to the diverse needs of customers. The cumulative number of smartphones sold during this fiscal year has exceeded one million units.
On December 24, 2010, we launched “Xi” service using the LTE system—a new mobile communications standard featuring high-speed, large-capacity and low-latency transmission capabilities, in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, and released the “L-02C” data terminal device compatible with “Xi” service.
As part of our efforts to raise the packet ARPU, we launched the i-mode version of “docomo market” portal to give users easier access to a wide array of applications and contents such as music and electronic books they need. We also introduced “docomo Drive Net”*2 wireless information distribution service for car navigation systems together with a dedicated billing plan for this service. Furthermore, we started offering a trial electronic book service, in which smartphone users can download magazines, books and other publications without having to pay any content fees.
As of December 31, 2010, the total number of our cellular services subscriptions was 57.21 million (an increase of 1.77 million compared to the number as of December 31, 2009), and our cellular churn rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, was 0.46%. The aggregate number of subscriptions to “Fami-wari MAX 50” and other MAX discount programs introduced in August 2007 reached approximately 35.90 million, while the number of subscriptions to the “Value Plan” launched in November 2007 grew to approximately 38.90 million as of December 31, 2010. Although the packet ARPU posted an increase from the same period of the prior fiscal year, the aggregate ARPU for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, decreased by 5.0% year-on-year to ¥5,170 due to a drop in voice ARPU, which was negatively affected by the expanded uptake of “Value Plan” and other factors.
With regard to equipment sales, equipment sales revenues and cost of equipment sold decreased due primarily to a decline of purchase and wholesale prices per unit.
As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues and operating income from mobile phone business for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, were ¥3,106.8 billion (a decrease of ¥49.3 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year) and ¥764.8 billion (an increase of ¥54.6 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year), respectively.

ii. Cash Flow Conditions
For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥754.5 billion, an increase of ¥162.4 billion (27.4%) compared to the same period of the prior year, mainly due to an increase in cash inflow resulting from collections of installment receivable for handsets, a decrease in the payment of income taxes and a decrease in the payment of accounts payable, trade.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥519.9 billion, a decrease of ¥180.5 billion (25.8%) compared to the same period of the prior year. This was mainly due to an increase of proceeds from redemption of short-term investments, an increase of proceeds from redemption of short-term bailment for consumption to a related party and a decrease in purchases of non-current assets, which were partially offset by an increase in purchases of short-term investments of more than three months for cash management purpose.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥223.8 billion, a decrease of ¥22.1 billion (9.0%) compared to the same period of the prior year. This was mainly due to a decrease in repayment of long-term debt and a reduction in payments to acquire treasury stock, which were partially offset by an increase in dividends paid.
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥367.2 billion as of December 31, 2010, an increase of ¥9.5 billion (2.6%) from the prior fiscal year end.

(3) Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2011
As Japan’s mobile phone market continues to mature in line with the rise in cellular penetration rate, competition among operators is expected to remain intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings.
Under these market conditions, although an increase in the number of subscribers and an increase in packet communications revenues are expected, operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 are estimated to be ¥4,209.0 billion, a decrease of ¥75.4 billion from the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in voice revenues and equipment sales.
On the other hand, operating income is expected to be ¥840.0 billion, an increase of ¥5.8 billion from the prior fiscal year, mainly due to a decrease in cost of equipment sold, a reduction in network costs and on-going cost cutting efforts.
As we are currently not aware of any factors that may have a material impact on our projected results of operations, we have not revised our guidance announced on October 28, 2010.

(2) Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
i.  
Definition of ARPU and MOU
  a.  
ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit):
 
     
Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.
 
  b.  
MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription.
ii.  
ARPU Calculation Methods
  a.  
ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova)
             
 
    Aggregate ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) =   Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova)
 
           
 
    Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova):   Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova)
 
           
 
    Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova):   Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)/ No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova)
  b.  
ARPU (FOMA)
             
 
    Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) =   Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)
 
           
 
    Voice ARPU (FOMA):   Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)
 
           
 
    Packet ARPU (FOMA):   Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) /No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)
  c.  
ARPU (mova)
             
 
    Aggregate ARPU (mova) =   Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova)
 
           
 
    Voice ARPU (mova):   Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova)
 
           
 
    Packet ARPU (mova):   Packet ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova)
iii.  
Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
 
   
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month ((No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period
     
Note:  
Communication module services subscriptions and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU ^ MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription. ^ ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit): ^^Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per ^^^ subscription basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per subscription and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. ^ Aggregate ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^^^ Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova): Packet ARPU (Xi+FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (Xi+FOMA+mova) ^ Aggregate ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA) ^^^ Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (FOMA)^ ^ Aggregate ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) + Packet ARPU (mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova) ^^^Packet ARPU (mova): Packet ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active subscriptions (mova) ^ Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods: ^^Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month ((No. of subscriptions at the end of previous month + No. of subscriptions at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period Note: Communication module services subscriptions and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.
