NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of presentation:

The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements of NTT DOCOMO, INC. and its subsidiaries (“DOCOMO”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted. Since DOCOMO’s American Depositary Shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2002, DOCOMO has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the terminology, forms and preparation methods required in order to issue American Depositary Shares, which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America.

2. Summary of significant accounting and reporting policies:

(a) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

(b) Change in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results

Change in depreciation method —

Previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, DOCOMO adopted the straight-line method of depreciation. Data traffic has recently grown due to increased use of smartphones. As a way of addressing the rising data traffic, DOCOMO provides LTE-Advanced services, using the carrier aggregation technology which enables higher speeds and capacities for the LTE services. With the introduction of the carrier aggregation technology, DOCOMO is able to use its frequencies more efficiently, bringing stability to DOCOMO’s operation of its wireless telecommunications equipment. As a result, DOCOMO believes that the straight-line depreciation method better reflects the pattern of consumption of the future benefits to be derived from those assets being depreciated. The effect of the change in the depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in the accounting estimate pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”

The change in depreciation method caused a decrease in “Depreciation and amortization” by ¥109,236 million and ¥39,806 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. “Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” increased by ¥74,717 million and ¥27,227 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” increased by ¥20.01 and ¥7.33 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

(c) Recently issued accounting standards

Revenue from Contracts with Customers —

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which requires an entity to recognize the amount to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.

The FASB also issued ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and ASU2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” in March, April and May 2016, respectively, to partially amend ASU 2014-09.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,” and deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Consequently, the standard is expected to take effect for DOCOMO on April 1, 2018. Early adoption of the standard as of April 1, 2017 would also be permitted.

DOCOMO has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the ASU will have on DOCOMO’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities —

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which significantly changes the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity, and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The new standard is effective for DOCOMO on April 1, 2018. DOCOMO is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.

Lease —

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Lease,” which requires all lessees to recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability, principally. The new standard is effective for DOCOMO on April 1, 2019. DOCOMO is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.

4. Segment information:

DOCOMO’s chief operating decision maker (the “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 has three operating segments, which consist of telecommunications business, smart life business and other businesses.

The telecommunications business includes mobile phone services (LTE(Xi) services and FOMA services), optical-fiber broadband 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 DOCOMO’s “dmarket” portal, as well as finance/payment services, shopping services and various other services to support our customers’ daily lives. The other businesses primarily include “Mobile Device Protection Service,” as well as the development, sales and maintenance of IT systems.

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

Segment operating income (loss) is segment operating revenues less segment operating expenses.

As indicated in “Note 2. (b) Change in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results,” previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, DOCOMO adopted the straight-line method of depreciation. As a result, compared with the depreciation method used prior to April 1, 2016, operating income for the Telecommunications business segment, Smart life business segment, and Other businesses segment for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 increased by ¥109,037 million, ¥108 million and ¥91 million, respectively. Operating income for the Telecommunications business segment, Smart life business segment, and Other businesses segment for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased by ¥39,709 million, ¥56 million and ¥41 million, respectively.

DOCOMO does not disclose geographical information because the amounts of operating revenues generated outside Japan are immaterial.

5. Income taxes:

Release of valuation allowance for deferred tax assets related to DOCOMO’s subsidiaries operating multimedia broadcasting business for mobile devices —

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, DOCOMO decided to terminate the multimedia broadcasting business for mobile devices of DOCOMO’s smart life business segment effective June 30, 2016.

In connection with the termination of the multimedia broadcasting business, DOCOMO concluded that it was more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized considering the availability of prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies in the tax jurisdictions of certain subsidiaries that operated the multimedia broadcasting business for mobile devices. Subsequently, during the three months ended December 31, 2015, DOCOMO released the entirety of the valuation allowance, as of April 1, 2015, for the related deferred tax assets of those subsidiaries.

As a result, an adjustment to the beginning balance of valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets in the amount of ¥32,698 million was recorded as an income tax benefit in “Income taxes-Deferred” of the consolidated statements of income for both the nine months and the three months ended December 31, 2015.

6. Contingencies:

(a) Litigation

DOCOMO is involved in litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. DOCOMO believes that none of the litigation or claims outstanding, pending or threatened against DOCOMO would have a materially adverse effect on DOCOMO’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

(b) Guarantees

DOCOMO enters into agreements in the normal course of business that provide guarantees for counterparties. These counterparties include subscribers, related parties, foreign wireless telecommunications service providers and other business partners.

DOCOMO provides subscribers with guarantees for product defects of cellular phone handsets sold by DOCOMO, but DOCOMO is provided with similar guarantees by the handset vendors and no liabilities were recognized for these guarantees.

Though the guarantees or indemnifications provided in transactions other than those with the subscribers are different in each contract, the likelihood of almost all of the performance of these guarantees or indemnifications are remote and amount of payments DOCOMO could be claimed for is not specified in almost all of the contracts. Historically, DOCOMO has not made any significant guarantee or indemnification payments under such agreements. DOCOMO estimates the fair value of the obligations related to these agreements is not significant. Accordingly, no liabilities were recognized for these obligations.

7. Fair value measurements:

Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value according to observability. The inputs are described as follows:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

DOCOMO also distinguishes assets and liabilities measured at fair value every period on a recurring basis from those measured on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances.

(a) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include available-for-sale securities and derivatives.

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

(b) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances.

Receivables held for sale

Receivables held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value.

Receivables held for sale are classified as Level 2. DOCOMO measures the fair value of the receivables held for sale by discounting, at LIBOR-based discount rates, estimated future cash flows while taking into account factors such as default probabilities and loss severity of similar trade receivables.
