Earnings Release for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2017

1. Information on Consolidated Results

(1) Operating Results

i. Business Overview

The environment surrounding our business has changed significantly. In Japan’s telecommunications market, competition has intensified due to the government’s pro-competition policy, the rise of low-cost smartphones offered by Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and other factors. In addition, we have seen technical advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), IoT* and drones, as well as an expansion of customer touchpoints by various service providers leveraging loyalty point programs and other means. These changes have brought about both active competition in the telecommunications market and collaboration with new players from other industries, accelerating competition in new markets that transcend the conventional boundaries of the telecommunications business.

Amid these changes in the market environment, we positioned the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 as the period to make “a vibrant leap toward further growth” beyond income recovery, and promoted the two pillars of “reinforcement of telecommunications business” and “expansion of smart life business and other businesses.” Our strategy is based on value co-creation, which we call “+d,” through which we pursue the creation of new values by evolving our collaborative activities with a wide range of external partners.

In order to enhance the convenience of “d POINTs,” we made efforts to increase the number of stores participating in the “d POINT” program, including, for example, through our “+d” initiative with McDonald’s Co. Ltd, which enables customers to accumulate and redeem “d POINTs” at all McDonald’s restaurants in Japan. In another effort to create new value, we launched an over-the-counter insurance consultation service, “DOCOMO Insurance Consultation,” at our docomo Shops. Other projects included the commencement of the “DOCOMO Drone Project,” a series of verification trials using drones for shopping and package delivery services, and verification trials for a self-driving bus utilizing mobile network, which we conducted jointly with various external partners to make advances towards solving social issues.

Meanwhile, we continued to enhance customer returns, with emphasis on enriching our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing scheme. As a part of such measures, we launched the “docomo Child-Raising Support Program” for families with children, offering additional benefits and convenience and assisting them in making their precious memories.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, despite a decrease in equipment sales revenues and a negative impact on mobile communications services revenues caused by the further expansion of our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing scheme for the purpose of increasing returns to our customers, operating revenues increased by ¥57.5 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥4,584.6 billion, mainly due to the recovery of telecommunications services revenues as a result of the growth of the packet consumption of our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan subscribers, the expansion of smartphone use and the demand for tablets and other products purchased as a second mobile device for individual use, and the growth in the number of “docomo Hikari” users, as well as the growth of our smart life business and other businesses such as “dmarket” and other content services.

Operating expenses decreased by ¥104.2 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥3,639.8 billion, owing primarily to a decline of depreciation expenses as a result of our change in depreciation method used and a decrease in cost of equipment sold and initiatives to pursue further cost efficiency, despite an increase in expenses associated with the expansion of “docomo Hikari” revenues and the growth of revenues from our smart life business and other businesses, as well as an increase in expenses associated with the initiatives for enhancing returns to our customers such as reward points for contract renewal and “docomo Child Raising Support Program.”

As a result, operating income increased by ¥161.7 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥944.7 billion, which was higher than ¥940.0 billion, the full-year forecast as revised in the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

Income before income taxes and equity in net income (losses) of affiliates was ¥949.6 billion, and net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC. increased by ¥104.2 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥652.5 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

Telecommunications Business—

<Results of operations>

	Billions of yen
	Year ended March 31, 2016		Year ended March 31, 2017		Increase (Decrease)
Operating revenues from telecommunications business	¥	3,689.8	¥	3,711.2	¥	21.4	0.6	%
Operating income (loss) from telecommunications business		708.9		832.8		123.9	17.5

Despite a decrease in equipment sales revenues and the negative impact on mobile communications services revenues caused by the further expansion of our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing scheme for the purpose of increasing returns to our customers, operating revenues from telecommunications business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were ¥3,711.2 billion, an increase of ¥21.4 billion, or 0.6% from the previous fiscal year, as a result of the growth of the packet consumption of our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan subscribers, the expansion of smartphone use and the demand for tablets and other products purchased as a second mobile device for individual use, and the growth in the number of “docomo Hikari” users, of which there were 3.40 million as of March 31, 2017.

Operating expenses from telecommunications business decreased by ¥102.6 billion, or 3.4%, from the previous fiscal year to ¥2,878.4 billion due primarily to a decrease in depreciation expenses as a result of our change in depreciation method used, a decrease in cost of equipment sold and initiatives to pursue further cost efficiency, despite the increase in expenses associated with “docomo Hikari” revenues as well as an increase in expenses associated with initiatives for enhancing returns to our customers, such as reward points for contract renewal and “docomo Child Raising Support Program.”

Consequently, operating income from telecommunications business was ¥832.8 billion, an increase of ¥123.9 billion, or 17.5%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year.

<<Key Topics>>

• Enhanced Customer Returns

We continued to strengthen returns to our customers mainly by leveraging our “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing scheme in an effort to address to their diverse needs.

In June 2016, to improve the benefits offered to long-term users, we introduced two new subscription courses for customers completing a two-year contract. These customers can choose between the “Free Course” and “Zutto DOCOMO Discount Course,” subscriptions with or without cancellation fees. At the same time, we raised the amount of monthly discounts offered under the “Zutto DOCOMO Discount” program and started offering “reward points” to customers renewing their subscription contract.

In September 2016, we launched the “Ultra Pack” designed for customers with high data usage. In October 2016, we introduced two new plans for LTE-enabled docomo Feature Phone users: “Kake-hodai Light Plan (for feature phones),” which provides for a monthly flat rate unlimited domestic voice calls of under five minutes, and “Keitai Pack,” a two-tier rate plan for packet data communications. From November 2016, we started offering the “Kids’ Keitai Plus” rate plan for customers using our “Kids’ Phone.” And starting in January 2017, to cater to users with limited data usage, we enabled users to bundle the “Kake-hodai Light Plan (for smartphones/tablets)” with “Data S Pack.”

As a result of these undertakings, the total number of “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” subscriptions as of March 31, 2017 reached 37.07 million, recording an increase of 7.36 million from March 31, 2016.

• Actions for Boosting Smartphone Usage

From August 2016, we started offering the “Smartphone Debut Discount,” a program that provides first-time smartphone users with discounts on their basic monthly charges for up to 24 months. Furthermore, starting January 2017, we increased the amount of discounts available with the “Kake-hodai Light Plan (for smartphones/tablets)” for first-time smartphone users of age 60 and higher, called the “Senior Special Discount” program which allows seniors to use our services at more affordable rates.

To further accelerate the adoption of smartphones, we continued to expand our product lineup, releasing iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and launching other new models equipped with new features such as “Suguden” (which enables tapless operation of smartphones) as well as our first original smartphone, “MONO MO-01J,” featuring enhanced ease of use.

As a result of these undertakings, the total number of our smartphone/tablet users grew to 35.86 million as of March 31, 2017.

• Actions to Enrich Service Offerings and Expand Adoption of “docomo Hikari”

In April 2016, we added new offerings to our “docomo Hikari” optical-fiber broadband service: “docomo Hikari Denwa” IP telephone service and “docomo Hikari TV Option” IP TV service. By doing so, we have been able to integrate all customer-related operations for our optical-fiber broadband, fixed-line telephone and TV services, from application to after-sales.

We also introduced other new rate plans and services to accommodate the needs of our customers, including the “Hikari Fukusu Wari” package for customers subscribing to two or more “docomo Hikari” lines for a group of people to share, and “docomo Hikari Type C” which allows subscribers to use the optical-fiber broadband and Internet access services offered by our partner cable TV operators as a set.

Further, in February 2017, we released “docomo Hikari Router 01,” a home Wi-Fi router that comes together with a remote assistance service for setting up Internet access and Wi-Fi environments. Simultaneously, we commenced “docomo Hikari Router Security,” a new service that allows users to use “docomo Hikari” services easily, conveniently and free from concerns.

Because of our efforts regarding these initiatives and also because our various promotional campaigns were well-received by our customers, the total number of “docomo Hikari” subscriptions grew to 3.40 million as of March 31, 2017, posting a net increase of 1.84 million over the past fiscal year.

• Actions for Reinforcement of Communication Network

In an effort to reinforce our networks, we have expanded the coverage of our “PREMIUM 4G” service to 1,421 cities across Japan as of March 31, 2017. We also improved the speed of network by using carrier aggregation^* using a new spectrum band of 3.5GHz from June 2016, and through other new techniques, we commenced a communication service that offers Japan’s fastest maximum downlink speed of 682Mbps in March 2017. Through these measures, we have successfully created a high-speed communication environment that provides customers with comfortable network experience.

We conducted surveys of effective data speeds adhering to the “Guidelines for the Effective Speed Measurement Method of Internet Connection Services Provided by Mobile Telecommunications Carriers and Information Providing Method, etc. for Users” defined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The results indicated that we achieved improvements in both download and upload speeds over the previous year: the median (Android + iOS) of our download speeds was 118Mbps (166% the level of the previous year), and that of our upload speeds was 23Mbps (110% the level of the previous year).

* Technology that achieves improvement of data speeds by aggregating multiple carrier frequencies

Notes:

1. 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 to our wireless services in the relevant periods, as shown below under “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.

2. ARPU Calculation Methods

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

Data ARPU= Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU

- Voice ARPU	:	Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / Number of active users
- Packet ARPU	:	Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / Number of active users
- “docomo Hikari” ARPU	:	“docomo Hikari” ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / Number of active users

3. Active Users Calculation Method

Sum of number of active users for each month ((number of users at the end of previous month + number of users at the end of current month) /2) during the relevant period

4. The number of “users” used to calculate ARPU and MOU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:

a. Subscriptions of communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunication 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

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.

Operating income (loss) from smart life business		46.5		57.9		11.5		24.7

Operating revenues from smart life business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were ¥501.9 billion, a decrease of ¥2.2 billion, or 0.4%, from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in revenues from subsidiaries, despite an increase of content services revenues such as “dmarket” and other content services.

Operating expenses from smart life business were ¥444.0 billion, a decrease of ¥13.7 billion, or 3.0%, from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in expenses associated with revenues from our subsidiaries and despite an increase in expenses associated with the growth in content services revenues.

As a consequence, operating income from smart life business was ¥57.9 billion, an increase of ¥11.5 billion, or 24.7%, from the previous fiscal year.

<<Key Topics>>

• Initiatives Aimed at Enhancing “dmarket”

We continued enhancing our “dmarket” lineup by offering new services in our smart life business that are closely related to our customers’ health and livelihoods.

To provide total support for customers’ health, we started offering “dhealthcare pack” in April 2016, an integrated package that combines four health-related services, including the “Aruite-Otoku” application that allows users to earn “d POINTs” from the number of steps recorded on their smartphones. Also, in July 2016, we rebranded our “Home Anshin Partner” service to “dliving,” adding new components such as a childcare support service offered at a discounted rate, and a feature that allows users to check their home electricity consumption, etc. These initiatives, along with the brisk sales of “dmagazine,” resulted in a rise in the combined number of “dmarket” subscriptions* to 16.08 million as of March 31, 2017.

• Actions for Proliferation of “d CARD”

Since October 2016, our “d CARD” credit card service and our “iD” contactless payment service have supported Apple Pay. This enables users of Apply Pay-compatible devices to use “d CARD” on Apple Pay, and users of iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2 to pay with “iD” for purchases at stores.

In November 2016, we started offering “d CARD PREPAID,” a prepaid card which can be used for payments at all stores accepting “iD” across Japan as well as those accepting Mastercard worldwide. It also carries the features of the “d POINT CARD” for accumulating and using points.

• Launch of New Sports Content Service toward the Realization of a Smart Life

In February 2017, in collaboration with the Perform Group, we launched a new sports content service, “DAZN for docomo.” The service offers both live and on-demand video with unlimited viewing access to Meiji Yasuda J. League soccer games and other popular sports programs from Japan and overseas.

• Actions to Support Regional Vitalization

Starting in December 2016, our “gacco” online video learning service was adopted as the e-learning system for the “Regional Revitalization College” program promoted by the Office for Promotion of Regional Revitalization in the Cabinet Office of the government of Japan. The program offers a total of 37 professional courses, including a course on “how to build attractive tourist destinations.”

* The total number of users using “dTV,” “danime store,” “dhits,” “dkids,” “dmagazine,” “dgourmet,” “dhealthcare pack” and “dliving” services under a monthly subscription arrangement.

Operating revenues from other businesses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 amounted to ¥400.4 billion, an increase of ¥41.1 billion, or 11.4%, from the previous fiscal year, driven mainly by an increase in the number of subscriptions for our “Mobile Device Protection Service” and the growth of revenues relating to IoT businesses.

Operating expenses from other businesses were ¥346.4 billion, an increase of ¥14.8 billion, or 4.5%, from the previous fiscal year, as a result of rises in expenses associated with the expansion of revenues from our “Mobile Device Protection Service” and other services.

Consequently, operating income from other businesses was ¥54.0 billion, an increase of ¥26.3 billion, or 94.9%, from the previous fiscal year.

<<Key Topics>>

• Expansion of IoT

To allow customers to utilize LTE connections in IoT solutions that involve high-speed transmission of large-capacity content, we started marketing a LTE-enabled ubiquitous communication module “UM04-KO.” The module enables stress-free execution of remote control/operational support solutions, such as remote monitoring of images that require high-speed and large-capacity transmission.

To encourage the use of modules in a wide variety of applications, we created the “LTE Ubiquitous Plan,” a billing scheme that enables the use of modules at lower transmission speeds and reduced power.

• Promotion of Global Platform Business through DOCOMO Digital Limited

DOCOMO’s subsidiary, DOCOMO Digital Limited (DDL), mainly offers mobile payment platforms such as carrier billing payment and digital marketing-driven mobile content distribution in more than 35 countries through DOCOMO Digital Germany GmbH and Buongiorno S.p.A., subsidiaries of DDL.

DDL has positioned mobile payment platforms as a pillar of future growth in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, they promoted its expansion by providing carrier billing payment for service providers and mobile network operators in various countries. Customers of the carrier billing payment are able to make payments of monthly charges and contents for purchases at App stores through their billing statements.

• Supporting Program for Business Startups

We support the growth of startup companies and innovate together with them through both our investment in such startups and the activities of DOCOMO Innovation Village.

With respect to our investment activities, we strategically invest in businesses that provide synergies to our own business, mainly targeting business sectors related to telecommunications and sectors that can provide added value through ICT* such as medicine, education, agriculture and others.

With respect to the activities of DOCOMO Innovation Village, we support startup companies through our three core programs: Village Alliance, Village Community and Village Social Entrepreneurs. Specifically, in each program, we offer opportunities to make connections between us and startups companies or between our employees and entrepreneurs, and supported entrepreneurs who aim to solve social issues.

iii. CSR Activities

We aspire to help build a society in which everyone can share in a prosperous life of safety, security and comfort, beyond borders and across generations. We believe it is our corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) to fulfill the two aspects of (i) “Innovative docomo,” to solve various social issues in the fields of IoT, medicine, healthcare, education and agriculture through the “co-creation of social values,” an initiative that we plan to pursue together with various partners to create new services and businesses, and (ii) “Responsible docomo,” to thoroughly ensure fair, transparent and ethical business operations as a foundation for the creation of such values. Accordingly, we will strive to realize a sustainable society while expanding our own businesses.

DOCOMO was selected as a component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific), a part of the Down Jones Sustainability Indices, which is one of the world’s leading indices for ESG^* investment. Also, DOCOMO was selected as a component of the FTSE4Good Index.

We aspire to build a better future for the earth together with our various stakeholders. In October 2016 we established the “DOCOMO Global Environmental Charter” which sets forth our aspirations for the future, and established specific environmental targets in our “Green Action Plan 2030.”

* An investment method that is named after and focuses on the three elements of “Environment,” “Social” and “Governance.”

<Innovative docomo>

• Cooperation with Local Governments for the Solution of Social Issues

In April 2016 we entered into a “business collaboration agreement for the use of ICT and data” with Kobe City for the purpose of solving various social issues in the regional communities. As a project promoted under this agreement, we commenced the “Kobe City-DOCOMO urban monitoring service (verification trial)” using BLE^* tags for monitoring children.

We have promoted various other joint initiatives with local governments across Japan. One example is a collaboration agreement with Sendai City in August 2016. The initiative aims to support the development of a sustainably vibrant town with three main areas of focus: “disaster prevention and mitigation,” “regional revitalization” and “feasibility tests of near-future technology” that uses drones and other technologies.

* Abbreviation for Bluetooth Low Energy. One of the extended specifications of Bluetooth that enables communication with reduced power consumption.

• New Service for Customers with Hearing Difficulties

In October 2016 we started a trial offering of “Mierudenwa” to assist customers with hearing difficulties. The service automatically converts and displays a caller’s spoken words into text in real time.

<Responsible docomo>

• Actions for Disaster Response and Preparedness

In the aftermath of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes, in addition to securing and restoring communication services, we provided assistance to the people and areas affected by the disaster by affording free battery-charging services and Wi-Fi spots at evacuation shelters and through the donation of relief funds.

In the aftermath of the torrential rain and other harms caused by Typhoon No.10 in 2016, we promptly secured and restored communication services. We also implemented various measures to help disaster victims affected by the 2016 Middle Tottori Earthquake and the large-scale fire that devastated Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture, including the free provision of battery chargers and partial waiver of handset repair fees.

Other measures we have taken to step up our disaster preparedness include the upgrade of our large-zone base stations by adding LTE-compatibility and conversion of existing base stations covering coastal and mountainous areas into medium-zone base stations to secure communications in these areas. These preparations taken in advance will allow customers to use mobile phones free of concerns in the event of a disaster. We have also added foreign language and illustration-based guidance functions to our “Area Mail” emergency alert service in a preparatory effort to provide our diverse customer base with greater peace of mind when a disaster does occur.

• For the Recovery of Disaster-Stricken Areas in Tohoku Japan

We donated a total of approximately ¥72.6 million to municipalities in the disaster-stricken areas (12 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures, and 3 intermediary organizations). Donations were made by approximately 9,900 employees who participated in the Company’s recovery support program along with contributions from the Company itself.

In addition, at the oyster and seaweed farms of Higashi-Matsushima City, Miyagi Prefecture damaged by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, we promoted fishery “+d” initiatives by installing ICT-enabled buoys with the aim of improving the productivity of fishermen and realizing high-quality seafood production. In Fukushima Prefecture, we provided a “tablet-based information distribution and community support system” to help sustain the community of residents living in temporary housing units. Further, to support the continued use of this system by the senior population, we also hosted community gatherings and other regular events using tablet devices.

• Continued Efforts in “Smartphone and Mobile Phone Safety Class” and “DOCOMO Hearty Lecture”

DOCOMO’s “Smartphone and Mobile Phone Safety Classes” enlighten participants on the rules and manners of using smartphones and mobile phones, as well as to how to respond to troubles that may arise with their use. In the year ended March 31, 2017, we held a total of approximately 7,900 sessions with a cumulative participation of approximately 1.26 million people. In April 2016, we launched a new initiative convening the class in conjunction with a crime prevention seminar hosted by the Hiroshima Prefectural Police.

We also held 114 sessions of our “DOCOMO Hearty Lecture” for people with disabilities, introducing convenient features and usage tips for smartphones and other mobile devices. The lectures had a participation of a total of 1,200 people.

• Mobile Communication Fund Activities

The Mobile Communication Fund (MCF) is a non-profit organization established by DOCOMO with the aim to support research activities. In the year ended March 31, 2017, the Fund continued its sponsorship of the “DOCOMO Mobile Science Award,” given to outstanding research and dissertations relating to mobile communications technologies.

Other businesses		7.5		6.5		(0.9	)	(12.5	)

The principal capital expenditures made during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 are summarized below.

• Expansion of Telecommunications Facilities

As a result of our aggressive roll-out of “PREMIUM 4G” service in the high-traffic areas in urban centers to construct a network that can offer “greater comfort of access” to our customers, the total number of “PREMIUM 4G”-compatible base stations increased from previously 22,800 stations as of March 31, 2016 to 69,700 stations as of March 31, 2017.

In addition, in pursuit of further coverage improvement of our LTE service, we increased the total number of LTE base stations from 138,100 as of March 31, 2016 to 161,900 as of March 31, 2017.

• Measures for More Efficient Use of Capital Expenditures

Toward the goal of further strengthening our managerial structure, we continued to pursue more efficient use of capital expenditures through reduction of equipment procurement and other costs, and further improvement of the efficiency of telecommunications facilities construction. We also aggressively promoted the integration and/or capacity expansion of our facilities with the introduction of high-performance equipment for the purpose of reducing our future network operation costs.

As a result of the above measures, the total capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 increased by 0.3% from the previous fiscal year to ¥597.1 billion.

v. Prospects for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2018

The environment surrounding our business has changed significantly.

In Japan’s telecommunications market, competition has intensified due to the government’s pro-competition policy, the rise of low-cost smartphones offered by Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and other factors. In addition, we have seen technical advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), IoT and drones, as well as an expansion of customer touchpoints by various service providers leveraging loyalty point programs and other means. These changes have brought about both active competition in the telecommunications market and collaboration with new players from other industries, accelerating competition in new markets that transcend the conventional boundaries of the telecommunications business.

We position the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 as the year to “tackle evolution,” taking the first steps towards the delivery of our Medium-Term Strategy 2020 “Declaration beyond.” We will do so by moving forward with the creation and evolution of services, business evolution with “+d” and reinforcement & evolution of all foundations. Through these endeavors, we expect to post an increase in both operating revenues and operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

Operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 are estimated to increase by ¥165.4 billion from the previous fiscal year to ¥4,750.0 billion, driven by an increase in optical-fiber broadband service and other telecommunications service revenues due to the projected growth of “docomo Hikari” users, an increase in mobile communications services revenues due to the reduction of negative impact from “Monthly Support” discount program and other factors.

On the expenses side, operating expenses are expected to increase by ¥150.2 billion to ¥3,790.0 billion, due to an increase in expenses associated with the growth of revenues from “docomo Hikari,” an increase in depreciation expenses and other factors.

Accordingly, operating income for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018 is estimated to be ¥960.0 billion, an increase of ¥15.3 billion from the previous fiscal year.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we use them, are different from EBITDA as used in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. For an explanation of our definition of adjusted free cash flows excluding changes in investments for cash management purposes, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and ROE, see “6. Reconciliations of the Disclosed Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measures” on page 32.

Notes:

Japan’s telecommunications sector is characterized by rapid changes in the market environment due to technical innovations, market entry by new competitors and other factors. To respond to such changes, our corporate group may introduce new billing plans or other measures that could potentially have a significant impact on our revenues and income. The timing of introduction of such measures will be decided after comprehensively taking into consideration our operational circumstances and the actions of our competitors, and therefore, is not necessarily decided beforehand. Such measures, depending on the timing of implementation, may significantly affect our results forecasts to be made at the time of our first-half results announcement. Providing such prospects on a half-year basis, therefore, may not be adequate or useful as information to be disclosed to investors. Accordingly, we will provide prospects for the full year only, and report progress vis-à-vis the projected full-year forecasts by disclosing actual results on a quarterly basis.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was ¥1,312.4 billion, an increase of ¥103.3 billion, or 8.5%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to a decrease in cash outflows for agent resellers in relation to providing funds for the installment purchase of handset by our customers.

Net cash used in investing activities was ¥943.1 billion, an increase of ¥567.8 billion, or 151.3%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to an increase in cash outflows for short-term bailment for consumption to a related party, as well as a decrease in cash inflows for proceeds from redemption of long-term bailment for consumption to a related party.

Net cash used in financing activities was ¥433.1 billion, a decrease of ¥150.5 billion, or 25.8%, from the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was due mainly to a decrease in cash outflows for payments to acquire treasury stock.

As a result of the foregoing, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was ¥289.6 billion as of March 31, 2017, a decrease of ¥64.8 billion, or 18.3%, from the previous fiscal year end.

(3) Profit Distribution

i. Basic Policies for Profit Distribution

We believe that providing adequate returns to shareholders is one of the most important issues in corporate management while raising corporate value through the growth and expansion of our businesses. We plan to pay dividends by taking into account our consolidated results, consolidated financial position and consolidated dividend payout ratio based on the principle of stable and sustainable dividend payments. We will also continue to take a flexible approach regarding share repurchases. We intend to keep the repurchased shares as treasury stock and in principle to limit the amount of such treasury stock to approximately 5% of our total issued shares, and will consider retiring any treasury stock held in excess of this limit in a lump around the end of the fiscal year or at other appropriate times.

In addition, we will allocate internal reserves to research and development efforts, capital expenditures, strategic investments and others for the purpose of generating innovative technologies, offering attractive services and expanding our business domains.

ii. Dividend

We paid ¥40 per share as an interim dividend for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and plan to pay a year-end dividend of ¥40 per share.

iii. Prospect for the next fiscal year

We expect to pay a total dividend of ¥100 per share for the year ending March 31, 2018, consisting of an interim dividend of ¥50 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥50 per share.

iv. Share repurchases and share retirements

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we acquired 56.03 million outstanding shares of our common stock at an amount in total of ¥149.6 billion based on the resolution of the Board of Directors. On March 31, 2017, we retired 58.98 million outstanding shares, approximately 1.5% of the total outstanding shares before the retirement.

(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 and an increase in mobile communications operators entering into and collaborating with other industries 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 optimize costs 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.

(5) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

i. Note to Going Concern Assumption

There is no corresponding item.

ii. Change in Accounting Policies

Change in depreciation method

Previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Effective April 1, 2016, DOCOMO adopted the straight-line method of depreciation for all property, plant, and equipment. 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 Accounting Standards Codification 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”

The change in depreciation method caused a decrease in “Depreciation and amortization” by ¥154,050 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. “Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” and “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 increased by ¥105,370 million and ¥28.28, respectively.

iii. Equity

Share Repurchases and Share Retirements

On January 29, 2016, the Board of Directors resolved that NTT DOCOMO, INC. may repurchase up to 220,000,000 outstanding shares of its common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥500,000 million during the period from February 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

On April 28, 2016, the Board of Directors resolved that NTT DOCOMO, INC. may acquire up to 99,132,938 outstanding shares of its common stock by way of the Tokyo Stock Exchange Trading Network Off-Auction Own Share Repurchase Trading System (“ToSTNeT-3”) and market purchases in accordance with the discretionary dealing contract, at an amount in total not exceeding ¥192,514 million from May 2, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

Based on this resolution, NTT DOCOMO, INC. repurchased 9,021,000 shares of its common stock at ¥24,433 million using the ToSTNeT-3 on May 18, 2016, and also repurchased 47,010,000 shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of ¥125,174 million by way of market purchases in accordance with the discretionary dealing contract as of December 31, 2016. NTT DOCOMO, INC. did not repurchase any shares from NTT for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

NTT DOCOMO, INC. also carried out compulsory acquisition of less-than-one-unit shares upon request.

Aggregate number and price of shares repurchased for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

iv. 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 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 service, 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 includes “Mobile Device Protection Service,” as well as 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.

Assets by segment are not included in the management reports which are reported to the CODM. However, they are disclosed herein only to provide additional information. The “Corporate” row in the tables below is included to reflect the recorded amounts of common assets which are not allocated to any segments, and assets in “Corporate” primarily include cash and cash equivalents, securities and investments in affiliates. DOCOMO allocates amounts of assets and related depreciation and amortization expenses to common assets, such as buildings for telecommunications purposes and common facilities, on a systematic and rational basis based on the proportionate amount of network assets to each segment.

As indicated in “(5)ii. Change in Accounting Policies,” previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment with the exception of buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis. 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 increased by ¥153,548 million, ¥340 million and ¥162 million, respectively.

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

Note: EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we use them, are different from EBITDA as used in Item 10(e) of regulation S-K and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Impairment losses of goodwill and unamortizable intangible assets, which had previously been included in “Selling, general and administrative” of the consolidated statements of income, have been recorded as “Impairment loss” of the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. “Impairment loss” for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 in the above table has also been reclassified to conform to the presentation used for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

Shareholders’ equity ratio (=a/c)		—		73.5	%		74.2	%
Market equity ratio (=b/c)		—		133.1	%		128.9	%

Notes: Market value of total share capital = Closing share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock) as of the end of the fiscal period. Market equity ratio for the year ending March 31, 2018 is not forecasted because it is difficult to estimate the market value of total share capital in the future.

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) / No. of active users -Packet ARPU : Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active users -“docomo Hikari” ARPU : “docomo Hikari” ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / 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) / 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. ARPU and MOU calculation method were changed beginning with the results presentation for the first three months of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. Conventional ARPU calculation method is as below: ARPU(conventional calculation): (Voice revenues + Packet revenues + Revenues accounted for in Smart ARPU)/ No. of subscriptions after subtracting communication modules and MVNO subscriptions, etc. 29

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 presentation 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 and an increase in mobile communications operators entering into and collaborating with other industries 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 optimize costs 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.
