Earnings Release for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

 

1. Information on Consolidated Results

(1) Operating Results

i. Business Overview

In the mobile telecommunications market, besides the intense competition that we engage in with other Japanese telecommunications carriers due to active movement of subscribers using the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) system, we are also facing competition with new players offering a wide variety of Internet-based services that transcend the scope of traditional telecommunications businesses.

In this new competitive landscape, we have laid out our medium-term growth plan: “Medium-Term Vision 2015: Shaping a Smart Life.”

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, we are addressing the challenge of establishing a new path to growth by reinforcing our comprehensive strengths in the four key areas of “devices (handsets),” “network,” “services” and “billing plans/sales channel,” with the goal of being chosen by a greater number of customers.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we launched a new billing scheme, “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru,” which allows customers to utilize our services at affordable rates for a long period of time by selecting a plan suitable for their individual needs in different stages of life. In addition, leveraging our Xi LTE*1 network, we launched the commercial service of “VoLTE*2,” a new voice communication service that realizes high-quality and stable calls.

To solidify our managerial foundation, we reorganized our group structure effective July 1, 2014, aiming to achieve even higher customer satisfaction through a group of specialists and community-based organization, and have accelerated the shift of resources to priority areas (our smart life business and corporate marketing).

We will implement measures that will bring greater “happiness” to the lives of our customers, their family and society, so we can be chosen by customers as a “Partner for a Smart Life,” and maintain long-term customer relationships.

Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by ¥38.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,075.3 billion due mainly to a decrease in mobile communications services revenues by ¥49.2 billion as a result of a decrease in voice revenues and an impact of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program, whereas other operating revenues increased by ¥16.4 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year as a result of growing revenues from various services including “dmarket.”

Operating expenses were ¥865.7 billion which was relatively consistent with the same period of the previous fiscal year as a result of cost reduction implemented to further strengthen our management structure and a decrease in selling expenses due to a decrease in the number of handsets sold which was offset by an increase in expenses linked with other operating revenues.

As a result, operating income decreased by ¥37.8 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥209.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates was ¥212.5 billion, and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. decreased by ¥21.6 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥136.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

ii. Segment Results

We realigned the reportable segments from the three months ended June 30, 2014, in order to clearly define our business management of our mobile communications fields (where we are taking steps to reinforce our competitiveness) and new business fields (where we are striving for further expansion of revenue sources by making “Smart Life” a reality), toward the establishment of a new path to growth.

For details, please see 3. (4) “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Our total number of mobile phone subscriptions as of June 30, 2014 was 63.57 million, an increase of 1.94 million subscriptions compared to the number as of June 30, 2013, and the churn rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 0.67%.

Operating revenues from our mobile communications business decreased by ¥56.2 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥905.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due mainly to a decrease in mobile communications services revenues as a result of the impacts of increasing penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program.

Operating expenses from mobile communications business decreased by ¥15.9 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥702.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due mainly to a decrease in selling expenses as a result of a decrease in the number of handsets sold and consequently operating income from our mobile communications business decreased by ¥40.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥203.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

<<Highlights>>

<Devices>

As part of our effort to expand our product lineup, we released new smartphone models equipped with new functions, “docomo keitai” feature phones and “docomo tablets,” aiming to expand our smartphone user base and to facilitate the adoption of multiple mobile devices by a single user.

 

 

We unveiled our 2014 summer handset collection comprising 12 different models including DOCOMO-unique Android smartphones equipped with “VoLTE” compatibility, emergency power-saving mode and various other features, “docomo keitai” feature phones and “docomo tablets.”

<Network>

We continued our efforts to take advantage of DOCOMO’s technical strengths to build a robust network pursuing “breadth,” “speed” and “convenience,” and launched a brand new LTE-based voice communications service.

Operating revenues from smart life business increased by ¥14.4 billion from the same period of the prior fiscal year to ¥99.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 owing to an increase in the number of users of “dmarket” services by expanding new stores on “dmarket” and enriching stores’ services, an increase in the total subscriptions to “Osusume Pack” and other factors. Operating expenses from smart life business were ¥93.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of ¥13.1 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a consequence, the operating income from our smart life business amounted to ¥6.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

<<Highlights>>

<Devices>

To deliver greater “Smart Life” experience, we launched wearable devices equipped with new features and capabilities.

 

 

Through docomo Healthcare, Inc., we launched a new wristband-type health-monitoring device, “move band 2,” after making improvements to the preceding model in pursuit of more comfortable use, e.g., reducing its weight and adding new features such as an alarm function that vibrates to wake up the wearer from the sleep at the optimal timing.

<Services>

We have worked to enrich the content portfolio of existing “dmarket” stores, while launching new stores that will provide users with useful solutions in various scenes of everyday life, and made further progress toward realizing carrier-independent access to services through the use of “docomo ID.”

 

 

We launched a new home food delivery service, “ddelivery.” With this service, users can search restaurants/menus and place orders using voice command via our “Shabette Concier” voice agent service, and also make payments using docomo Points.

 

 

We launched “dmagazine” electronic magazine service, which provides users with unlimited access to wide-ranging genres of magazines and/or individual articles from smartphone/tablets for a flat monthly fee.

As a result of these efforts, the combined “dmarket” store subscriptions* reached 7.46 million as of June 30, 2014, and we are making favorable progress toward our goal of acquiring 10 million subscriptions as quickly as possible.

iii. CSR Activities

In accordance with our medium-term business plan, “Medium-Term Vision 2015,” we are working to provide a stable, high quality network and services and to engage in the persistent creation of new value as a “Partner for a Smart Life” for our customers.

We believe it is the corporate social responsibility “CSR” of DOCOMO to contribute to the realization of a society that enables people to lead abundant lives with comfort, safety, and security by resolving various social issues and surpassing the confines of countries, regions, and generations. Accordingly, we have positioned CSR as the core of our corporate management.

The principal actions undertaken during the three months ended June 30, 2014 are summarized below:

 

 

We set forth the “NTT DOCOMO Group Environmental Targets for FY2016,” which will serve as a medium-term guideline for our environmentally-conscious business management, and also defined concrete numerical targets to reduce the environmental burdens from our network operations or sales activities (e.g., cut power consumption per each unit of data transmission by 1/4; over 40% savings in the paper volume used for producing sales promotion tools.)

 

 

We held approximately 1,900 sessions of our “Mobile Phone Safety Class” to enlighten audiences on the rules and manners of using mobile phones and how to respond to criminal activities and other troubles if encountered when using a mobile phone, and garnered attendance of approximately 390,000 people in total for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

See “4. (3) Reconciliations of the Disclosed Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures” on page 21.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥196.5 billion, a decrease of ¥45.1 billion (18.7%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to an increase in the amount of income taxes paid and an increase in cash outflows resulting from advance payments to agent resellers in relation to collections of installment receivables for customers’ handset purchases, in addition to a decrease in mobile communications services revenues from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥235.8 billion, an increase of ¥28.4 billion (13.7%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to a decrease in cash inflows resulting from the redemption of short-term investments for cash management purpose, in addition to an increase in cash outflows resulting from purchases of short-term investments.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥128.0 billion, a decrease of ¥7.7 billion (5.7%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year, due mainly to an increase in cash inflows resulting from proceed from short-term borrowings, in addition to a decrease in cash outflows resulting from repayments of short and long-term debt.

As a result, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥358.7 billion as of June 30, 2014, a decrease of ¥168.3 billion (31.9%) from the previous fiscal year end.

(3) Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2015

While competition in Japan’s mobile telecommunications market is expected to remain intense in such areas as acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings, we have undertaken various initiatives to strengthen our competitive edge, most importantly with the introduction of a new billing plan. Under this competitive market, we expect to post an increase in operating revenues due mainly to an increase in packet communications revenues resulting from the expansion of the smartphone user base and an increase in revenues from new business fields, whereas we expect to decrease operating income due mainly to a decrease in voice revenues and an increase in cost for quality enhancements of Xi LTE services for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.

Our operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 are expected to be ¥4,590.0 billion, an increase of ¥128.8 billion from the previous fiscal year, reflecting growth in packet revenues driven by accelerating the migration to Xi smartphones, equipment sales revenues by promoting smartphones sales, and other operating revenues from sources such as dmarket, offsetting a decrease in mobile communications services revenues, which was due mainly to a decrease in voice revenues and the growing impact of the “Monthly Support” discount program. Our operating expenses are expected to be ¥3,840.0 billion, an increase of ¥198.0 billion from the previous fiscal year. Although we continue efforts aimed at further cost efficiency, operating expenses are expected to increase primarily caused by the growth in the number of Xi LTE base stations for quality enhancements, actions aimed for expanding future revenues, and an increase in cost of equipment sold driven by the growth in handset sales. Accordingly, operating income is estimated to be ¥750.0 billion, a decrease of ¥69.2 billion from the previous fiscal year.

As we are not currently aware of any factor that may have a material impact on our projected results of operations, we have not revised our forecasts announced on April 25, 2014.

iii. Segment Information

DOCOMO’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its board of directors. The CODM evaluates the performance and makes resource allocations of its segments based on the information provided by DOCOMO’s internal management reports.

DOCOMO realigned its conventional five operating segments, which consist of mobile phone business, credit services business, home shopping services business, internet connection services business for hotel facilities, and miscellaneous businesses into three operating segments, which consist of mobile communications business, smart life business and other businesses from the three months ended June 30, 2014 in order to clearly define its business management of the mobile communications fields where DOCOMO is taking steps to reinforce its competitiveness, and the new business fields where DOCOMO is striving for its further expansion of revenue sources by making “Smart Life” a reality toward the establishment of a new path to grow.

The mobile communications business includes mobile phone services (Xi services and FOMA services), satellite mobile communications services, international services and the equipment sales related to these services. The smart life business includes video and music distribution, electronic books and other services offered through DOOMO’s “dmarket” portal, as well as finance/payment services, shopping services and various other life-related services. The other businesses primarily includes “Mobile Phone protection and delivery services”, as well as development, sales and maintenance of IT systems.

In connection with this realignment, segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2013 has been restated to conform to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Accounting policies used to determine segment operating revenues and operating profit or loss are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(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.

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 it 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, as well as investments in new business fields, may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.

 

(7)

Malfunctions, defects or imperfections 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, the 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 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” and “Mail Address Storage” services are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

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 subscriptions, 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 report were derived using certain assumptions that were 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 it 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, as well as investments in new business fields, may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.

(7) Malfunctions, defects or imperfections 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, the 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.
