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 user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing telecommunications services revenues (excluding certain revenues) by the number of active users of our wireless services in the relevant periods, as shown below “ARPU Calculation Method.” We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per user 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 user.

ii. ARPU Calculation Methods

Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU

-Voice ARPU : Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) I No. of active users

- Packet ARPU : Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) I No. of active users

- “docomo Hikari” ARPU : “docomo Hikari”-related revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) I No. of active users

- In addition, the sum of Packet ARPU and “docomo Hikari” ARPU is referred to as Data ARPU.

iii. Active Users Calculation Method

Sum of No. of active users for each month ((No. of users at the end of previous month+ No. of users at the end of current month) I 2) during the relevant period

Note:

1. The number of “users” used to calculated ARPU and MOU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below: a. Subscriptions of communication modules services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); and b. Data Plan subscriptions in the case where the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription for “Xi” or “FOMA” services in his/her name.

2. Revenues from communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not included in the ARPU calculation.
