Earnings Release for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2013

 

 

1. Information on Consolidated Results

(1) Operating Results

i. Business Overview

Amid a major transition driven mainly by the rapid proliferation of smartphones, the competition in Japan’s mobile telecommunications market remains intense due to active movement of subscribers using the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) system and other factors.

Under these market conditions, based on our Medium-Term Vision 2015: “Shaping a Smart Life,” we have been taking steps for the reinforcement of our core mobile business and have been working on the expansion of new non-core businesses to create new value, thereby supporting the everyday lives of our customers and businesses to impart a sense of safety, security, convenience and efficiency as a “Partner for a Smart Life.”

In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, we are focusing on the “expansion of smartphone user base” and “creation of new revenue sources leveraging “docomo cloud” while moving ahead with the “structural reforms for the reinforcement of managerial foundation.”

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we started handling Apple Inc.’s “iPhone”*1 to further boost the uptake of smartphones, and continued our efforts to improve our Xi (LTE*2 services) in order to ensure safe, secure and high-quality network operations.

As part of the initiatives aimed at creating new revenue sources, we strived to enrich our “dmarket” portal and other “docomo cloud” features and content, and we agreed on a business and capital alliance with Tokyo Broadcasting System Holdings, Inc. toward the goal of enriching our “dvideo” store and other video content services for smartphones. We also accelerated our collaboration with external entities, announcing the acquisition of all shares in fine trade gmbh, the Austria-based e-commerce trading solution provider with payment options, for the purpose of expanding payment platforms for Europe.

Furthermore, we have moved ahead with our structural reform programs to solidify our managerial foundation, newly establishing “the Structural Reform Office”—a unit responsible for performing a sweeping review of our business management and advancing the consideration for shift of resources to new business fields.

As a result of the foregoing, for the six months ended September 30, 2013, operating revenues decreased by ¥8.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥2,199.0 billion due mainly to the impacts of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program and a decrease in MOU (Minutes Of Use), despite a favorable expansion of our new business fields, an increase in the number of Xi subscriptions and a growth in the user base of smartphones as a result of our active sales promotion.

Operating expenses decreased by ¥10.4 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,725.8 billion as a result of cost efficiency improvement toward the goal of further strengthening our management structure, despite increasing costs for measures aimed to improve Xi network and expand new business fields.

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded operating income of ¥473.2 billion (an increase of ¥2.0 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates was ¥481.8 billion, and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. was ¥300.4 billion (an increase of ¥14.5 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

  DOCOMO Earnings Release

     Six Months Ended September 30, 2013   

 

ii. Segment Results

Mobile phone business—

With the aim of expanding our smartphone user base, we have been reinforcing our offerings of “devices,” “network” and “services,” which are the basic components of our business, and we have been delivering state-of-the-art services that are only available from us, leveraging our proprietary “docomo cloud” technology.

«1. Expansion of Smartphone User Base»

<Devices>

 

   

We started marketing “iPhone 5s” and “iPhone 5c” from September 2013.

 

   

We released “Raku-Raku SMARTPHONE 2,” an easy-to-use smartphone compatible with our Xi LTE service featuring high-speed and high-capacity access as well as our proprietary “dmarket” portal. In October 2013, we introduced “Raku-Raku SMARTPHONE PREMIUM,” newly offering compatibility with “Google PlayTM”*1.

<Network>

 

   

We continued to make efforts to expand the Xi service area by increasing the number of Xi base stations to 37,000. We also commenced trial operations in some limited areas of Kanagawa, Osaka and Kyoto to prepare for the launch of ultra-high speed communications service that offers downlink speeds of up to 150Mbps on our Xi LTE network.

 

   

During climbing season for Mount Fuji many people visit to, we provided Xi services for the first time at certain areas such as the top of the mountain, the starting point for climbers, trails and lodges, in addition to FOMA services from July to August, 2013.

 

   

We expanded the coverage of “docomo Wi-Fi” public wireless LAN service that offers high-speed and large-capacity data access to the users of smartphones and other devices, introducing new spots primarily in large-scale commercial facilities, restaurant chains and railway stations for the convenience of users.

<Services>

 

   

We started offering a new O2O*2 platform, “Shoplat” that allows users to obtain information pertaining to valuable offers or discount coupons by visiting a shop participating in the program with their smartphone application activated.

 

   

We started “Online Handset Repair Acceptance Service,” enabling users to apply for handset repair from our website.

 

   

The total subscriptions to “Osusume Pack,” which provides a bundle of recommended services that allows users to use their smartphones in various convenient ways, topped 1 million in July 2013. The total subscriptions to “Anshin Pack,” a package of services designed to ensure worry-free use of smartphones, exceeded 2.50 million in September 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, the total number of smartphones sold in the six months ended September 30, 2013 reached approximately 6.32 million units, and the total number of Xi subscriptions as of September 30, 2013 grew to approximately 16.40 million.

     Six Months Ended September 30, 2013   

 

«2. Creation of New Revenue Sources Leveraging “docomo cloud”»

 

   

The total subscriptions to “danime store,” our animation video distribution service for smartphones, topped 1 million in August 2013.

 

   

As a functional enhancement of our “SmartTV dstick 01,” a stick-type device that allows users to view “dvideo” and other contents on ordinary TVs by inserting the device into the TV’s external interface socket, we added compatibility with our “Photo Collection” service—an easy-to-use cloud-based solution for storing or organizing photographs and videos stored in smartphones—to enable users to view them on TV screens.

The total number of cellular subscriptions as of September 30, 2013 was 61.77 million (an increase of 0.99 million compared to the number as of September, 30, 2012) due to brisk smartphone sales. However, the competition with other carriers for the acquisition of net additions remained intense, and the impact of subscriber port-outs using the MNP system expanded. As a consequence, our cellular churn rate for the six months ended September 30, 2013 increased by 0.09 points from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 0.86%.

While voice revenues decreased by ¥126.1 billion, due mainly to the impacts of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program and a decrease in MOU (Minutes Of Use), packet revenues increased by ¥11.6 billion due to an increase in the number of Xi subscriptions and a growth in the number of smartphone users as a result of our active sales promotion. Equipment sales revenues grew by ¥37.1 billion due to an increase in the number of handsets sold.

As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues and operating income from the mobile phone business for the six months ended September 30, 2013, were ¥2,090.6 billion (a decrease of ¥38.1 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and ¥480.8 billion (a decrease of ¥6.0 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year), respectively.

All other businesses—

We have been engaged in providing various services in new business fields and pursuing collaborations with corporate partners aimed at the realization of a more fulfilling “Smart Life.”

«Business Deployment by Subsidiaries»

 

   

DOCOMO InsightMarketing, Inc. announced that it would start supplying “Mobile Spatial Statistics”*, a demographic statistics service based on data obtained through mobile phone network, to academic institutions, businesses and other entities from October, 2013.

 

   

The total subscriptions to “Karada-no-Kimochi,” a health assistance service for women provided by docomo Healthcare, Inc., topped 0.20 million in August 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues from all other businesses for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was ¥108.4 billion (an increase of ¥29.8 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year). Operating revenues from all other businesses accounted for 4.9% of total operating revenues.

On the other hand, operating expenses from all other businesses increased to ¥116.0 billion and consequently operating loss from all other businesses was ¥7.6 billion.

 

  * A mechanism that enables us to estimate the distribution and structure of, or variations in population by region, using certain information (location and customer attribute information after processing for privacy protection) acquired in the course of providing customers with mobile phone service.

iii. CSR Activities

In accordance with “the Medium-Term Vision 2015,” we have been making unrelenting efforts for the construction of high-quality network, provision of stable services and creation of new value as a “Partner for a Smart Life.”

We believe it is our responsibility to contribute to building a society where everyone can live a safe, secure and comfortable life filled with richness, beyond borders and across generations, assisted by our business activities, and we put CSR (corporate social responsibility) at the heart of our management agenda.

The principal actions undertaken in the six months ended September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

 

   

As an initiative aimed at protecting young users, we launched a service for content providers operating SNS or blogs, etc., which informs them as to whether or not the user has reached the specified age at which the users are permitted to use their contents. In addition, for data access via Wi-Fi other than our proprietary “docomo Wi-Fi” service, we enabled the use of filtering service comparable to the “sp-mode filter”, to move ahead with the construction of a usage environment that allows users to impart a sense of safety and security.

 

   

We took actions aimed at enhancing users’ awareness of smartphone usage manners, continuing to post warnings alerting the risks of using a smartphone while walking on newspapers, outdoor signboards and other advertisements.

 

   

As part of our environmental protection initiatives, we purchased the CO2 absorption credit of the FORESTOCK-certified* town-owned forests in Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture. When combined with the absorption credit purchased in February 2013, we provided support for the conservation of approximately 444 hectares, or approximately 55% of the total applicable forests in Minamisanriku.

 

  * A forest certification system operated by FORESTOCK Association, under which forests in Japan are evaluated and certified based on certain criteria such as “conservation of biodiversity” and “appropriate and sustainable maintenance of forest.”

iv. Trend of Capital Expenditures

We pursued efficient utilizations of our facilities and reduction of equipment procurement cost, while moving forward with investments required for roll-out of Xi service areas and facility buildup to accommodate the growth of data traffic.

As a result of the foregoing, the total amount of capital expenditures made during the six months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by 16.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥301.8 billion.

ii. Cash Flow Conditions

For the six months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥579.7 billion, an increase of ¥192.7 billion (49.8%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year due to a decrease in the amount of income taxes paid, and an increase in cash inflows resulting from the collection of installment receivables from subscribers, in addition to the elimination of the effect caused by the uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥452.4 billion, a decrease of ¥5.8 billion (1.3%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment by pursuing cost efficiency improvement for network facilities and also a decrease in purchases of short-term investments of more than three months for cash management purpose, despite decreases in cash inflow resulting from redemption of short-term investments of more than three months for cash management purpose and proceeds from redemption of short-term bailment for consumption to a related party, and an increase in short-term bailment for consumption to a related party.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥143.1 billion, an increase of ¥12.9 billion (9.9%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year mainly due to an increase in cash outflow from dividends paid.

As a result of the foregoing, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥480.0 billion as of September 30, 2013, a decrease of ¥13.6 billion (2.8%) from the previous fiscal year end.

(3) Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2014

Competition in Japan’s mobile telecommunications market is expected to remain intense in such areas as the acquisition of subscribers and the further improvement of service offerings. Under these market conditions, we forecasts operating revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 to be in line with our original forecasts.

Operating revenues are estimated to be ¥4,640.0 billion, equal to our original forecasts as an increase in equipment sales offsets a decrease in revenues from mobile communication services mainly due to the impacts of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program.

Operating expenses are estimated to be the same as our original forecasts of ¥3,800.0 billion because greater-than-expected cost reduction, as a result of cost efficiency improvements should offset an increase in revenue-linked expenses in a fiercely competitive market for bringing in new customers.

As the result of the foregoing, operating income is estimated to be the same as the original forecasts of ¥840.0 billion.

iv. Retrospective application of equity method for an investee

As a result of an application of the equity method for DOCOMO’s investment in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company from the beginning of the three months ended June 30, 2013, the equity method of accounting was applied retrospectively in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 323 “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Consequently, the reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 have been revised in DOCOMO’s consolidated financial statements for this retrospective application.

The impacts on “Investments in affiliates,” “Marketable securities and other investments,” “Deferred tax assets,” “Non-current investments and other assets,” “Retained earnings,” “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and “NTT DOCOMO, INC. shareholders’ equity” in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 were ¥122,477 million, ¥(215,646) million, ¥34,069 million, ¥(59,100) million, ¥(4,607) million, ¥(54,493) million and ¥(59,100) million, respectively.

The impacts on “Other income (expense),” “Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates,” “Income taxes,” “Equity in net income (losses) of affiliates, net of applicable taxes,” “Net income” and “Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2013 were ¥(8,316) million, ¥(8,316) million, ¥(2,977) million, ¥732 million, ¥(4,607) million and ¥(4,607) million, respectively.

The impact on “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” for the year ended March 31, 2013 was ¥ (1.11).

v. Subsequent Event

Stock Split and Adoption of Unit Share System

DOCOMO conducted a stock split and adopted a unit share system on October 1, 2013 in accordance with a decision of the Board of Directors on April 26, 2013.

(Purpose of the stock split and adoption of the unit share system)

Based on the intent of the “Action Plan for Consolidating Trading Units” announced by stock exchanges of Japan in November 2007, we conducted a 1:100 stock split and adopted a unit share system that sets 100 shares as a share-trading unit. Please note that there was no effective change to the investment units due to the stock split and adoption of the unit share system.

(Stock split)

Method of the stock split—

September 30, 2013 was the record date of the stock split. Each of our common shares held by shareholders whose names were stated or recorded in the latest Register of Shareholders on the record date was split at a ratio of 1:100.

Number of increase in shares due to the stock split—

 

1) Total number of issued shares before the stock split:

    43,650,000 shares      (As of September 30, 2013)

2) Number of increase in shares due to the stock split:

    4,321,350,000 shares      (As of October 1, 2013)

3) Total number of issued shares after the stock split:

    4,365,000,000 shares     

4) Total number of authorized shares after the stock split:

    17,460,000,000 shares

2) Record date:

   September 30, 2013

3) Effective date:

(Adoption of the unit share system)

Number of shares constituting one unit—

Schedule for the establishment of the new system—

Effective date: October 1, 2013

(Effect on per share data)

Per share data (“Weighted average common shares outstanding” and “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.”) in the consolidated statements of income and the impact on “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” for the year ended March 31, 2013 in “iv. Retrospective application of equity method for an investee” in notes to consolidated financial statements are calculated on the assumption that the stock split was conducted at the beginning of the fiscal period of 2012.

(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 mobile communications services and a part of other operating revenues by the number of active subscriptions to our wireless services in the relevant periods. 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.

 

  b. MOU (Minutes Of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription.

 

ii. ARPU Calculation Methods

 

 

  Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + Smart ARPU

 

  -Voice ARPU :

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

  -Packet ARPU :

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

  - Smart ARPU :

  A part of other operating revenues (revenues from content, collection of charges, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others) / No. of active subscriptions

 

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: Subscriptions and revenues for communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage” and “docomo Business Transceiver” are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

Net cash provided by operating activities includes the effect caused by the uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION for cash management purposes except for the year ended March 31, 2013 and for the six months ended September 30, 2012.

  

(3)    Changes in investments for cash management purposes were derived from purchases, redemption at maturity and disposals of financial instruments held for cash management purposes with original maturities of longer than three months. Net cash used in investing activities includes changes in investments for cash management purposes except for the year ended March 31, 2013. The effect of changes in investments for cash management purposes is not taken into account when we forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2014 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.

5. 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 the expected number of subscription, and the 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 earnings release 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:

 

(1) Changes in the market environment in the telecommunications industry, such as intensifying competition from other businesses or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, development of appealing new handsets, new market entrants, mergers among other service providers and other factors, or the expansion of the areas of competition could limit the acquisition of new subscriptions and retention of existing subscriptions by our corporate group or may lead to ARPU diminishing at a greater than expected rate, an increase in our costs or an inability to reduce expenses as expected.

 

(2) If current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes proposed and introduced by our corporate group cannot be developed as planned, or if unanticipated expenses arise the financial condition of our corporate group could be affected and our growth could be limited.

 

(3) The introduction or change of various laws or regulations inside and outside of Japan, or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group, could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

(4) 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 and could increase our costs.

 

(5) Other mobile service providers in the world may not adopt the technologies and the frequency bands that are compatible with those used by our corporate group’s mobile communications system on a continuing basis, which could affect our ability to sufficiently offer international services.

 

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

 

(7) Malfunctions, defects or imperfection in our products and services or those of other parties may give rise to problems.

 

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

 

(9) Inadequate handling of confidential business information including personal information by our corporate group, contractors and others may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

(10) Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us a license or other use of such intellectual property rights, which may result in our inability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and our corporate group may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, the illicit use by a third party of the intellectual property rights owned by our corporate group could reduce our license revenues actually obtained and may inhibit our competitive superiority.

 

(11) Events and incidents caused by natural disasters, social infrastructure paralysis such as power shortages, proliferation of harmful substances, terror or other destructive acts, the malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, deliberate incidents induced by computer viruses, cyber attacks, equipment misconfiguration, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause failure in our networks, distribution channels and/or other factors necessary for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers, and such incidents may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image or lead to a reduction of revenues and/or increase of costs.

 

(12) Concerns about adverse health effects arising from wireless telecommunications may spread and consequently adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

(13) 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 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 mobile communications services and a part of other operating revenues by the number of active subscriptions to our wireless services in the relevant periods. 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. b. MOU (Minutes of Use): Average monthly communication time per subscription.

ii. ARPU Calculation Methods

Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + Smart ARPU

- Voice ARPU : Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges)

/ No. of active subscriptions

- Packet ARPU : Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)

/ No. of active subscriptions

- Smart ARPU : A part of other operating revenues (revenues from content services, proxy bill collection commissions, mobile phone insurance service, advertising and others) / No. of active subscriptions

iii. Active Subscriptions Calculation Method

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: Subscriptions and revenues for communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage” and “docomo Business Transceiver” are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

Note: (1) Irregular factors represent the effects of uncollected revenues due to a bank closure at the end of the fiscal period.

(2) Effect of transfer of receivables represents the effect caused by the uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION. Net cash provided by operating activities includes the effect caused by the

uncollected amounts of transferred receivables of telephone charges to NTT FINANCE CORPORATION for cash management purposes except for the year ended March 31, 2013 and for the six months ended September 30, 2012.

(3) Changes in investments for cash management purposes were derived from purchases, redemption at maturity and disposals of financial instruments held for cash management purposes with original maturities of longer than three months. Net

cash used in investing activities includes changes in investments for cash management purposes except for the year ended March 31, 2013. The effect of changes in investments for cash management purposes is not taken into account when we

forecasted net cash used in investing activities for the year ending March 31, 2014 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of operational data such as the expected number of subscription, and the 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 earnings release 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:

(1) Changes in the market environment in the telecommunications industry, such as intensifying competition from other businesses or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, development of appealing new handsets, new market entrants, mergers among other service providers and other factors, or the expansion of the areas of competition could limit the acquisition of new subscriptions and retention of existing subscriptions by our corporate group or may lead to ARPU diminishing at a greater than expected rate, an increase in our costs or an inability to reduce expenses as expected.

(2) If current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes proposed and introduced by our corporate group cannot be developed as planned, or if unanticipated expenses arise the financial condition of our corporate group could be affected and our growth could be limited.

(3) The introduction or change of various laws or regulations inside and outside of Japan, or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

(4) 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 and could increase our costs.

(5) Other mobile service providers in the world may not adopt the technologies and the frequency bands that are compatible with those used by our corporate group’s mobile communications system on a continuing basis, which could affect our ability to sufficiently offer international services.

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

(7) Malfunctions, defects or imperfection in our products and services or those of other parties may give rise to problems.
