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

 

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006, we worked to strengthen our after-sales support to customers, for example, by providing free-of-charge extra battery packs to DoCoMo Premier Club members, continued our network quality enhancement endeavors, and enriched our handset lineup by releasing new models such as the “FOMA 901iS” series handsets, all of which are equipped with new features such as the “Osaifu-Keitai*” function. These measures, combined with the expanded “Family Discount” program and other strategic price revisions implemented during the last fiscal year, enabled us to increase the number of our net additional subscribers by approximately 20% compared to the same quarter of last fiscal year, while the total number of net additions in the market marked a decrease. Meanwhile, our churn rate in the first quarter dropped 0.26 points year-on-year to 0.80%, our record low, which makes us believe that our business reform programs focused on customers’ perspectives have delivered tangible results in reinforcing our core business in the last three months.

 

Due to the above-mentioned price revisions aimed at strengthening our competitiveness and other factors that could have downside pressure on revenues, our consolidated operating revenues for the first quarter dropped from the same period of the last fiscal year, but we posted gains in operating income through extensive cost-cutting efforts. We believe we have started this fiscal year with a favorable performance in the first quarter vis-à-vis our annual forecast for the year.

 

The number of subscribers using handsets compatible with our “Osaifu-Keitai*” service, which was commenced a year ago ahead of the competition in order to establish a platform for functions we hope will lead to future revenue sources, reached some 5 million as of July 22, 2005, and the number of shops where the service is provided grew to over 22,000 as of June 30, 2005, showing steadfast progress toward realizing our goal of making our mobile phones a part of the “lifestyle infrastructure” in Japan.

 

In November 2005, we are planning to introduce a more simplified rate structure, abolishing the different charging classifications set by time zones and distance of outbound calls, as additional options to the existing rate plans. We believe this will provide our customers with enhanced convenience and contribute our competitiveness.

 

Going forward, we are committed to continuing our efforts to strengthen our core business, reduce costs, and secure new revenue sources, so that we can react to the rapidly changing market environment and maximize our enterprise value.


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

1. Business Overview

 

  (1) Operating revenues totaled ¥1,187.1 billion (down 2.8% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

    Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues decreased to ¥1,029.0 billion (down 1.6% compared to the same period of the prior year). Despite the positive impact on revenues from subscriber growth as a result of the acquisition of new subscribers and lowered churn rate driven by the expansion of our handset lineup, cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues decreased mainly due to a decline in average revenue per unit (ARPU) resulting from our rate reductions, such as the expansion of our “Family Discount” program.

 

    Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥228.8 billion (up 201.8% compared to the same period of the prior year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to ¥116.9 billion (up 180.3% compared to the same period of the prior year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers which resulted from the release of new handsets such as the “FOMA 901iS” series and further improvements in our coverage areas.

Notes:

 

  (i) In this earnings release, Quickcast services revenues, which were presented separately in the past, are included in “Other revenues,” and international services revenues, which were previously included in “Other revenues,” are included in “Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues.” However, international services revenues related to FOMA services are not included in FOMA services revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 because such information was not previously maintained.

 

  (ii) Voice revenues include data communications revenues through circuit switching system.

 

  (2) Operating expenses were ¥899.5 billion (down 4.8% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

    Personnel expenses were ¥62.0 billion. The number of employees as of June 30, 2005 was 22,219.

 

    Non-personnel expenses decreased to ¥566.2 billion (down 7.1% compared to the same period of the prior year) mainly due to a decrease in revenue-linked variable expenses (down 7.2% compared to the same period of the prior year), including commissions paid to agent resellers, reflecting a decrease in the number of handsets sold.

 

    Impairment loss represents the impairment of PHS related assets, which were acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

2. Segment Information

 

  (1) Mobile phone business

 

Operating revenues were ¥1,166.3 billion and operating income was ¥288.9 billion.

 

    Cellular (FOMA) services

 

  In and after June 2005, we released the “FOMA 901iS” series handsets, all of which are equipped with features such as “Osaifu-Keitai” function and PDF file viewer. In April 2005, we have launched a new billing plan called “Packet-Pack 90.” In June 2005, we have restructured our billing plans for FOMA data-card-type-handset users and launched the “Limit-Plus” billing plan for FOMA subscribers, which limits calling charges at a value set in advance by the subscribers and was previously available only for mova subscribers. In June 2005, we launched “mopera U,” an internet access service for FOMA services subscribers via our public wireless LANs as well as FOMA networks. The number of FOMA services subscribers increased steadily and reached 13.71 million as of June 30, 2005.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA) services were ¥5,990, ¥3,100 and ¥9,090, respectively.

 

    Cellular (mova) services

 

  In May 2005, we released “premini-II S,” a compact and easy-to-use handset which features a unique design and music player function. Due to continuous progress in the migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the number of mova subscribers decreased to 35.72 million as of June 30, 2005.

 

  Voice ARPU, i-mode ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (mova) services were ¥4,820, ¥1,370 and ¥6,190, respectively.

 

  In addition, in both FOMA and mova services, we have launched the “DoCoMo Coin” service, designed mainly for enterprises to be able to provide “DoCoMo Coins” as their sales promotion tool, the amount of which can be deducted from monthly bills of their prospective customers in April 2005. We have also upgraded our “Hearty Discount” program so that no handling charge will be applied to handset upgrades by eligible disabled subscribers starting June 1, 2005. The aggregate number of the FOMA and mova services subscribers increased to 49.43 million.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA+mova) services were ¥5,120, ¥1,820 and ¥6,940, respectively.

 

  Churn rate for cellular (FOMA+mova) services for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 0.80%, a decrease of 0.26 points compared to the same period of the prior year.

    i-mode services

 

  In April 2005, DoCoMo entered into an agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Card Co. Ltd. (“Sumitomo Mitsui Card”), Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc., and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation that DoCoMo and these companies would form a strategic alliance for the launch of new credit transaction services using the “Osaifu-Keitai” phones equipped with i-mode FeliCa IC cards and form a capital alliance with Sumitomo Mitsui Card. The number of subscribers using i-mode-FeliCa-compatible handsets reached approximately 4.40 million and the number of “Osaifu-Keitai” compatible shops increased to approximately 22,000 as of June 30, 2005. In April 2005, we upgraded the “i-mode Disaster Message Board Service” and made packet charges to access the service free in order to further improve the convenience of our customers. Furthermore, as a part of our efforts to promote further security and comfort in mobile internet environment, we have continued to work against spam-mails and upgraded our i-mode web access restriction function. The number of i-mode services subscribers reached 44.66 million as of June 30, 2005.

 

  In terms of our global development, starting from May 2005, the eight overseas i-mode alliance carriers jointly procured i-mode-compatible GSM handsets to lower procurement costs. The i-mode services are rolled out in 10 countries and areas including Japan, and the aggregate number of i-mode services subscribers of all foreign carriers which participate in the i-mode alliance exceeded 5 million as of June 30, 2005.

 

    International services

 

  In May 2005, we launched international roaming-out services for packet communications in China, in addition to the existing international roaming-out service for voice calls and short messaging service (SMS). From June 2005, FOMA videophone users who subscribe to an international dialing service “WORLD CALL” are able to make videophone calls with 3G videophone customers in South Korea. Starting June 1, 2005, we allow our customers to apply allowances, which are included in both the base monthly charge and the additional charge for a billing arrangement called “Packet Pack,” toward international services such as an international roaming-out service “WORLD WING.” As of June 30, 2005, we expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 127 countries and areas; for packet communications to 43 countries and areas; and for videophone calls to 6 countries and areas.

 


   

Note:

 

ARPU: Average monthly revenue per unit

 

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information regarding the average usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. See page 14 for the details of the calculation methods.

Operating revenues were ¥7.9 billion and operating loss was¥0.4 billion.

 

    In our public wireless LAN service, “Mzone,” we launched an international roaming service with Singapore Telecommunications Limited, a Singaporean company, in April 2005. The number of hot spots in Japan increased to 564 as of June 30, 2005. In June 2005, we launched a plan called “U public wireless LAN course” as a part of our internet access service “mopera U.”

 

    In April 2005, considering the continuous decline in the number of Quickcast subscribers, we decided to terminate the services on March 31, 2007.

3. Capital Expenditures

 

Total capital expenditures were ¥210.7 billion.

 

    The capital expenditures increased because we expanded the coverage areas of FOMA services including a rollout of “FOMA Plus Area,” which enables calls in mountainous areas, where previous FOMA handsets could not make calls; reinforced FOMA network to meet the increase in demand; and constructed networks and equipment to provide new services. On the other hand, we continued our efforts to make our capital expenditures more efficient and less costly by reducing the acquisition costs of equipment and improving the design and construction process.

4. Cash Flow Conditions

 

    Net cash provided by operating activities was ¥326.3 billion (up 177.2% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash provided by operating activities increased mainly owing to a decrease in the payment of income taxes, which was ¥318.5 billion in the same period of the prior year, to ¥56.2 billion.

 

    Net cash used in investing activities was ¥141.2 billion (down 30.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash used in investing activities decreased mainly due to a decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment and proceeds from the sale of H3G UK shares. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we had an inflow of cash from redemption of short-term investments of ¥100.0 billion and an outflow of cash to manage a part of our cash efficiently into a trust of ¥50.0 billion for NTT Leasing Co. Ltd., one of our related party, based on a contract of bailment for consumption. These changes in investments for cash management purposes decreased net cash used in investing activities by ¥50.0 billion.

 

    Net cash used in financing activities was ¥68.1 billion (down 62.3% compared to the same period of the prior year). Net cash used in financing activities decreased mainly due to a decrease in repayments of outstanding debt. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased our own stock for ¥16.9 billion in the stock market.

 

    Free cash flows were ¥185.2 billion. Free cash flows excluding changes in investments for cash management purpose* (¥50.0 billion) were ¥135.2 billion.

 

    Equity ratio and debt ratio improved compared to the same period of the prior year due to an increase in shareholders’ equity and a decrease in interest bearing liabilities.

ARPU Calculation Methods

 

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

 

  i) ARPU(FOMA + mova)

 

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

 

Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) : Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission

                        charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) : {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission

                        charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)}/ No. of

                        active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet

                        transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly

                        charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

  ii) ARPU (FOMA)

 

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

 

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

                        active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

Packet ARPU (FOMA) : Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No.

                        of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

i-mode ARPU*2 (FOMA) : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) /

                        No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet t

                        ransmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA)

 

  iii) ARPU (mova)

 

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

 

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

                        active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

 

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

                        of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

 

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet

                        transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (mova)

 

  iv) ARPU (PHS)

 

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

 

2. Active Subscribers Calculation Methods*1

 

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

 

  *1 DoPa single service subscribers and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

 

  *2 The denominator used in calculating i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is the aggregate number of cellular subscribers to each service (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova, respectively), regardless of whether i-mode service is activated or not.

 

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

 

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

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

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

 

    Competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and average revenue per unit (ARPU), or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses.

 

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

 

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

 

    The introduction of number portability in Japan may increase our expenses, and may lead to a decrease in our number of subscribers if our subscribers choose to switch to other cellular service providers.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    Our PHS business, which is expected to operate at a loss until the service is terminated, may incur greater losses than we project.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, and software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks and other problems could cause systems failures in our networks, handsets or other networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers.

 

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

 

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

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU

 

n MOU (Minutes of usage) : Average communication time per one month per one user.

 

n ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit ) :

 

ARPU is used to measure average monthly revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing various revenue items included in operating revenues, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges, and packet transmission charges from designated services, by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures calculated in the above way provide useful information regarding the monthly usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our US GAAP results of operations.

 

n Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova) : Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

n Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) : Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

n Number of active subscribers used in ARPU and MOU calculations are as follows:

 

  n Quarterly data: sum of “No. of active subscribers in each month”* of the current quarter

 

  n Full-year data: sum of “No. of active subscribers in each month”* of the current fiscal year.

 

  * “No. of active subs. in each month”: (No. of subs at end of previous month +No. of subs at end of current month)/2

 

n DoPa Single Service subscribers are not included in the above calculation of ARPU, MOU, revenues and no. of subscribers.
