Earnings Release for the Three Months Ended June 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 taken steps for the reinforcement of our core mobile business and worked on the expansion of new non-core businesses to create new values, 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 three months ended June 30, 2013, we conducted product promotion clearly presenting our recommended models, and worked to further enrich the content offered on the “dmarket” portal in an effort to further expand the uptake of smartphones.

As part of the initiatives aimed at creating new revenue sources, we commenced studies for the launch of a new travel service on the “dmarket” portal jointly with JTB Corp. We have also pursued tie-ups with various companies and agreed on a business/capital alliance with Pioneer Corporation for the development of new cloud-based services targeting car drivers, etc.

Furthermore, we have accelerated our structural reform programs to solidify our managerial foundation, newly establishing the Smart-life Business Division in July 2013 integrating the former separate business units that had been engaged in various new non-core businesses.

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, voice revenues in our mobile communications services decreased by ¥67.1 billion due mainly to the impacts of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program and a decrease in MOU (Minutes Of Use). On the other hand, packet revenues increased by ¥7.5 billion due to 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. Equipment sales revenues grew by ¥63.6 billion due to an increase in wholesale price per unit and an increase in the number of handsets sold to agent resellers. Other operating revenues grew by ¥37.3 billion owing mainly to a favorable expansion of our new business fields and other measures. Consequently, we recognized operating revenues of ¥1,113.6 billion (an increase of ¥41.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Despite our promotion of cost efficiency improvement toward the goal of further strengthening our management structure, operating expenses increased by ¥56.4 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥866.1 billion due mainly to increased costs for measures aimed to expand new business fields as well as increased costs of equipment sold due to an increase in the purchase price per handset and the number of handsets sold to agent resellers.

  DOCOMO Earnings Release

     Three Months Ended June 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>

 

   

Using the keywords “easy to understand and easy to choose,” we introduced “XperiaTM A SO-04E”*1 and “GALAXY S4 SC-04E,” both equipped with large-capacity battery and quad-core CPU for ultra-fast processing, as “DOCOMO’s Two Top” models.

 

   

As a new model of the “Raku-Raku PHONE” series, we announced the release of “Raku-Raku Smartphone 2” compatible with Xi (LTE*2 service) that enables high-speed and large-capacity transmission, which can be used with an affordable, dedicated flat-rate billing plan “Raku-Raku Pake-hodai” priced at ¥2,980 per month.

<Network>

 

   

We increased the number of base stations supporting maximum downlink speed of 75Mbps to 17,300, and expanded the coverage of ultra-high speed service that offers downlink speeds of up to 112.5Mbps to 130 cities nationwide, in an effort to further enrich the service areas of Xi network featuring high-speed and large-capacity access.

 

   

We accelerated the coverage roll-out on subway routes, including the Osaka Municipal Subway system. Also, as part of our efforts for improved convenience, we started the operation of Xi-enabled compact base station equipment that can cover areas that had previously been difficult to reach, such as mountain areas.

<Services>

 

   

We started offering two new service packages: the “Osusume Pack,” which provides a bundle of recommended services that allow users to use smartphone conveniently, such as “Sugotoku Content” (an assortment of popular content); and the “Anshin Pack,” a package of services designed to ensure worry-free use of smartphones. The subscriber base of “Anshin Pack” and “Osusume Pack” topped 1 million in June and July 2013, respectively.

As a result of the foregoing, the total number of smartphones sold in the three months ended June 30, 2013 reached 3.35 million units, and the total number of Xi subscriptions as of June 30, 2013 grew to 14.20 million.

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

 

   

We launched “dcreators” service, an online market for creative people where handmade items such as accessories or user-generated content such as novels or comics can be put up for sale or purchased. Meanwhile, we also strived to strengthen the content of our existing services, with the user base of 4.5 million as of June 30, 2013 for our video distribution platform, “dvideo.”

 

   

As part of our endeavors for the improvement of usage environment, we started at our nationwide docomo Shops and other outlets the sales of a Wi-Fi-dedicated tablet device, “dtab,” which is designed for easy access to “dvideo” and other content services.

 

   

As a functional enhancement of our “Photo Collection” service for storage of photographs and videos in “docomo cloud,” we added the “Facebook linkage capability” so that photographs posted on Facebook*3 can be incorporated and displayed on “Photo Collection.”

The total number of cellular subscriptions as of June 30, 2013 was 61.62 million, up 1.23 million compared to the number a year earlier, 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 three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by 0.12 points from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 0.86%.

While voice revenues decreased by ¥67.1 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 ¥7.5 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 ¥63.6 billion due to an increase in wholesale price per unit and an increase in the number of handsets sold to agent resellers.

As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues and operating income from the mobile phone business for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were ¥1,057.1 billion (an increase of ¥21.3 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year) and ¥250.7 billion (a decrease of ¥20.1 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.”

«1. New Investments/Alliances Aimed for Service Expansion»

 

   

We acquired the majority ownership of Nihon Ultmarc Inc., a company that operates Japan’s largest medical database, toward the creation of new services that connect consumers with medical services through mobile devices.

 

   

To expand services and improve the communications quality in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, we wholly acquired MCV Guam Holding Corp., the largest cable television and Internet service provider in the region.

«2. Business Deployment by Subsidiaries»

 

   

docomo Healthcare, Inc. launched a health platform called “Watashi-move,” which delivers optimal service to each customer by storing and analyzing their personal health data captured by smartphones and other health appliances. docomo Healthcare also commenced a new health assistance service for women dubbed “Karada-no-kimochi,” which provides users with health-related advice based on the their daily biorhythm data or mental state.

 

   

mmbi, Inc., worked to construct an environment that facilitates the uptake of “NOTTV” mobile multimedia broadcasting service for smartphones by a greater number of users through service coverage expansion and increasing the variety of compatible handsets to 31 models. As a consequence, the total number of “NOTTV” subscriptions reached 1.22 million as of June 30, 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, operating revenues from all other businesses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was ¥56.4 billion. Operating revenues from all other businesses accounted for 5.1% of total operating revenues.

On the other hand, operating expenses from all other businesses increased to ¥59.7 billion mainly due to increased costs for measures aimed to expand new business fields and consequently operating loss from all other businesses was ¥3.3 billion.

iii. CSR Activities

In accordance with “the Medium-Term Vision 2015,” we have made unrelenting efforts for the construction of high-quality network, provision of stable services and creation of new values 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 through these business activities and we put CSR (corporate social responsibility) at the heart of our management agenda.

The principal actions undertaken in the three months ended June 30, 2013 are summarized below:

 

   

We enriched our “Mobile Phone Safety Class” program, an initiative undertaken to protect children from potential troubles arising from the use of mobile phones, by developing new educational tools aimed at using smartphones more safely and securely.

 

   

We took actions aimed at enhancing users’ awareness of smartphone usage manners, creating a logotype alerting the risks of using a smartphone while walking, and posting it on various advertisements and other publications.

 

   

We commenced the field trial of a disaster-resilient, environment-friendly “Green Base Station,” which can secure day-time battery from solar power generation, in Tokyo and other locations.

 

   

As part of the “Mirai-no-tane” initiative aimed at assisting the reconstruction and revitalization of Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture, we started handling merchandise made of surplus wood of trees culled during thinning operations to maintain healthy forests on our “dshopping” online shopping platform.

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 three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by 18.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥145.4 billion.

ii. Cash Flow Conditions

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥241.6 billion, an increase of ¥67.9 billion (39.1%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly because of a decrease in payment of income taxes and an increase in cash inflows resulting from the collection of installment receivables from subscribers.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥207.4 billion, an increase of ¥150.5 billion (264.7%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a decrease in proceeds from redemption of short-term bailment for consumption to a related party.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥135.7 billion, an increase of ¥8.4 billion (6.6%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase of dividends paid.

As a result of the foregoing, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥393.3 billion as of June 30, 2013, a decrease of ¥100.4 billion (20.3%) 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 acquisition of subscribers and further improvement of service offerings. Under these market conditions, we expect to post an increase in both operating revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 for the previous fiscal year by taking various measures.

Operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 are estimated to be ¥4,640.0 billion, an increase of ¥169.9 billion from the previous fiscal year. The reasons behind the expected increase in operating revenues include an increase in packet revenues as a result of our efforts to accelerate the migration to smartphones, an increase in equipment sales revenues by reinforcing smartphone sales and an increase in other operating revenues driven by the expansion of “dmarket” and other new business revenues, although mobile communications services revenues is expected to decrease due to the impacts of penetration of the “Monthly Support” discount program.

Operating expenses are estimated to be ¥3,800.0 billion, an increase of ¥167.1 billion from the previous fiscal year, primarily due to measures to increase the number of base station installations aimed for quality enhancement of Xi services, actions aimed for expanding future revenues, and an increase in cost of equipment sold due to increasing handset sales, although we continue efforts aimed at further cost efficiency.

As a result of the foregoing, operating income is estimated to be ¥840.0 billion, an increase of ¥2.8 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 26, 2013.

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 “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.” on the consolidated income statement 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), respectively.

(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” and “Mail Address Storage” services are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

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 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 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.

For an explanation of ARPU, please see slide “Definition and Calculation Methods of ARPU and MOU “ in this document

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 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 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
