Earnings Release for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2008
<< 1. Operating Results >>
1. Business Overview
Competition among network operators in the mobile communications market in Japan, which already entered a mature phase given the high penetration rate, has been fueled by recent price competition and market entry by new competitors such as MVNO*.
In such market environment, we decided to offer new optional packet billing plans called “Pake-hodai double” and “Biz-hodai double”, both of which enable users to utilize data communications with the two-phase flat-rate charges, so that users can enjoy content services more comfortably without worrying about usage fee. We also released new handsets such as “FOMA 706i” series and “Raku-Raku PHONE V”. We strived for further penetration of our new discount programs and new handset sales methods, which we believe are appropriate for the current market conditions.
On July 1, 2008, we reorganized our group structure by integrating eight regional subsidiaries, consolidating the group’s nationwide business operations under a single entity for the purpose of enhancing the speed and effectiveness of our operations. We have also strived to improve our business from our customers’ point of view with the keywords, “Change and Challenge”.
As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, operating revenues were ¥1,097.5 billion, operating income was ¥280.5 billion, income before income taxes was ¥271.7 billion and net income was ¥173.1 billion. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, operating revenues were ¥2,267.8 billion, operating income was ¥576.9 billion, income before income taxes was ¥560.2 billion and net income was ¥346.7 billion.

For the six months ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥408.4 billion, reflecting net payment for income taxes of ¥248.5 billion and an increase in installment receivables for handsets and accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities was ¥423.8 billion. Our expenditures for purchases of property, plant and equipment of ¥302.1 billion, purchases of intangible and other assets of ¥115.2 billion and purchases of non-current investments of ¥46.9 billion which include the acquisitions of equity stake in total were partially offset by proceeds from the redemption of long-term bailment for consumption to a related party of ¥50.0 billion.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥105.6 billion. We spent ¥51.8 billion for acquisition of treasury stock, ¥28.2 billion for repayment for outstanding long-term debt and ¥102.3 billion for payment for cash dividends while financing ¥79.9 billion through issuance of corporate bonds.
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥523.8 billion as of September 30, 2008.

<<3. Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2009 >>
Competition among network operators in the mobile communications market in Japan has become increasingly fierce due to price competition, market entry by new competitors such as MVNO and other factors.
Under these market conditions, we have decided to revise our group’s full-year guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 as described in the table below.
The operating revenues forecast has been revised downwards by ¥171.0 billion from the initial guidance to ¥4,597.0 billion, mainly due to a decrease in equipment sales, while offset by the increase in operating revenues reflecting a revision of ARPU.
On the other hand, we projected the decrease in operating expenses mainly due to the decrease in cost of equipment sold, as the number of handsets we expect to be sold has also been revised. Accordingly, our forecast of operating income remains unchanged from the original forecast of ¥830.0 billion.
Against this backdrop, we will strive even harder to reinforce our core business, and at the same time, work to create new revenue sources by offering customized services for each customer and collaborating with partner companies in various fields, as part of our endeavors to cultivate new businesses.

Fair Value Measurements
Effective April 1, 2008, DOCOMO adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although the definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value, SFAS No. 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, rather than an entity-specific measurement. SFAS No. 157 also expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities subsequent to initial recognition through fair value hierarchy as a framework for measurement. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on DOCOMO’s results of operations and financial position. The disclosure required by SFAS No. 157 was omitted in this earnings release.

Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU
1.  
Definition of ARPU and MOU
  i)  
ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)1 :
 
     
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 wireless services, such as basic monthly charges, voice communication charges and packet communication charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions 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 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. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.
 
  ii)  
MOU (Minutes of Usage): Average monthly communication time per subscription.
2.  
ARPU Calculation Methods
  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 (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
• Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova): {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges)}/ No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
• i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) 2: i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
• ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) 3: i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA+mova)
  ii)  
ARPU (FOMA)
• Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) = Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)
• Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
• Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
• i-mode ARPU (FOMA) 2: i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA)
• ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) 3: i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (FOMA)
  iii)  
ARPU (mova)
• Aggregate ARPU (mova) = Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova)
• Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
• i-mode ARPU (mova) 2: i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova)
• ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) 3: i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active i-mode subscriptions (mova)
3.  
Active Subscriptions Calculation Methods
 
   
No. of active subscriptions used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations is as follows:
 
   
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
 
   
No. of active subscriptions for full-year results/forecasts:
 
   
Sum of No. of active subscriptions for each month from April to March
 
     
1  
Communication Module service subscriptions 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 subscriptions 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 subscriptions as a denominator.

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 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended March 31, 2008 includes changes in investments for cash management purposes. However, 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, 2009 due to the difficulties in forecasting such effect.

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:
1.  
As competition in the market becomes more fierce due to changes in the business environment caused by Mobile Number Portability, new market entrants, competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies, and other factors could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers, or may lead to diminishing ARPU or an increase in our costs and expenses.
 
2.  
Current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could affect our financial condition and limit our growth.
 
3.

5.  
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.
 
6.  
Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.
 
7.  
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 loss 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.
 
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 other factors may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

11.  
Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers, and may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU ^ MOU (Minutes of usage): Average communication time per one month per one user ^ 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 our wireless services revenues, such as basic monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active subscriptions 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 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. ^ Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova): Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ^^^ Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova): {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges) + i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges)} / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ^ i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova): i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA+mova) ^ Aggregate ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA) ^^^ Voice ARPU (FOMA): Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ Packet ARPU (FOMA): Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ^^^ i-mode ARPU (FOMA): i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (FOMA) ^ Aggregate ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova) ^^^ Voice ARPU (mova): Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova) ^^^ i-mode ARPU (mova): i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscriptions (mova) ^ Number of active subscriptions used in ARPU and MOU calculations are as follows: ^^^ Quarterly data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current quarter ^^^ Half-year data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current half ^^^ Full-year data: sum of "No. of active subscriptions in each month"* of the current fiscal year ^^^* "No. of active subscriptions in each month": (No. of subs at end of previous month + No. of subs at end of current month)/2 ^The revenues and no. of subscriptions of Communication Module Service are not included in the above calculation of ARPU and MOU.
