With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, despite the relative stabilization of the U.S. economy, Europe’s bond-related economic downturn had a ripple effect on China and other emerging countries, leading to continued economic stagnation. The Japanese economy, despite showing signs of mild recovery mainly from domestic demand stemming from rebuilding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, has shown weakened growth from the effects of the global economic slowdown. However, the outlook for the Japanese economy has started to show signs of improvement from December 2012 through the close of the fiscal year in anticipation of the new monetary easing policy adopted by the Bank of Japan.

In the information and telecommunications market, optical broadband services and LTE broadband services speeds have increased and smartphones, tablets and other devices have gained widespread market acceptance, together with the increased use of social media and cloud services. There has also been a worldwide trend of various new participants, in addition to telecommunications companies, entering the market, and a rapid growth in the variety and sophistication of services.

In light of these circumstances, NTT Group has worked to expand its provision of broadband and ubiquitous services pursuant to its Medium-Term Strategy, adopted in May 2008, entitled “Road to Service Creation Business Group.” The fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 marked the final fiscal year of this Medium- Term Strategy. In November 2012, NTT Group formulated its new Medium-Term Strategy entitled “Towards the Next Stage” in order to respond to an increasingly faster globalization of the market and the development of cloud services.

 

   

Broadband Services

In the fixed-line communications field, NTT Group continued to take measures to expand the use of its “FLET’S Hikari” services and to improve its customer support services. NTT Group began offering “Omoikkiri Wari,” a program designed to promote new subscriptions, and “Hikari Motto Motto Wari,” a program designed to promote long-term continuous use.

In the mobile communications field, NTT Group worked to further increase the speed of “Xi,” (pronounced “crossy”) an LTE service with high-speed and large-capacity capabilities, in order to operate safe, secure and high quality networks and to expand service areas. NTT Group also worked to further enhance smartphone convenience by launching the “Xperia™ Z” phone, which is equipped with a Quad-Core CPU, a large-capacity battery and high-speed processing capability. In addition, NTT Group introduced various rate plans and improved after-sales services in order to provide its users with a customer-friendly environment for smartphone and “Xi” use.

NTT Group forged cooperative projects with convenience store operators, railroad companies, shopping district promotion associations and local governments to strengthen Wi-Fi environments in order to improve the convenience of data communication using devices such as smartphones and increase the use of optical line services. Wi-Fi environments can also be used by customers as information distribution platforms.

Upper Layer Services·Solutions Businesses

NTT Group has put significant effort into enhancing its contents services. Specifically, NTT Group introduced new services that can be conveniently used on smartphones and tablet devices, such as “d shopping,” an easy-to-use online shopping service, and “d game,” a gaming service offered in collaboration with a leading game maker. Subscription numbers for “d video,” a flat-rate video distribution service for smartphones, exceeded four million at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

NTT provided highly convenient services in the fields of medicine and education, with a focus on industry-specific solutions which have been developed based on each industry’s unique characteristics and trends. In the field of medicine, for example, NTT launched “Hikari Timeline,” which enables information sharing among medical institutions by gathering the electronic medical records of different medical institutions in chronological order. For corporate customers, NTT Group launched “BizXaaS BA,” a customer information analysis support service utilizing big data, which enables quick and cost-effective use of client information analysis reports.

 

   

Global Businesses

NTT Group acquired all of the shares of Centerstance, Inc., a U.S.-based company that supports cloud migration, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary (“NTT Centerstance, Inc.”) in order to expand NTT Group’s global operations and enhance its provision of cloud services. Through close collaboration between NTT Centerstance, Inc. and each NTT Group company, NTT Group has established an infrastructure that enables the integrated provision to its customers of information and telecommunications environments.

As part of its expansion of cloud services, NTT Group established a global Research and Development committee in October 2012 in order to strengthen NTT Group’s research and development capabilities, and began preparations to expand and enhance research and development based in North America.

In order to strengthen its ability to seamlessly provide global services to Japanese companies operating overseas and to local corporations, NTT Group built new data centers in Singapore and Malaysia. These countries are receiving attention as major system hubs for the Asia region because they are located in areas which are believed to be the least impacted by potential natural disasters.

 

   

Research and Development (R&D)

As part of its efforts to create new services, NTT Group engaged in research and development directed at the advancement of video services and mobile communications services, strengthening the network platforms that support these services, and at the development of the fourth-generation mobile communications systems that will succeed LTE. At the same time, NTT Group promoted research and development efforts in areas that serve as stepping stones to developing new growth strategies, such as cloud networks and security. In addition, NTT Group conducted research and development focused on developing solutions for societal issues, such as healthcare and the environment, and disaster-resistant network services. Further, NTT Group promoted research in high-capacity optical transmission technology and quantum information processing as initiatives to develop advanced technologies for the future.

 

   

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

In order to contribute to the sustainable development of society, NTT Group companies worked collectively to achieve the goals of each of the eight Priority Activities of the “NTT Group CSR Priority Activities” plan which was established in accordance with the NTT Group CSR Charter. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, by setting quantitative indicators for the eight Priority Activities, NTT Group further promoted and clarified the link between CSR activities and its businesses. One of the themes of NTT Group’s environmental vision is “creating a low-carbon society.” In furtherance of that theme, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, NTT Group adopted a policy known as “Green NTT” as a means of promoting natural energy by the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, NTT has achieved its target of installing a total of 5.0 megawatts of solar power production facilities.

Disaster Countermeasures Commenced at the Implementing of the Fiscal Year (ended March 31, 2013)

NTT Group has continued to build upon its disaster countermeasure efforts following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Specifically, NTT Group worked to improve the earthquake resistance and water resistance of exchange offices, re-examine its transmission lines, build backup smartphone-related facilities (packet communications platforms), augment electric power facilities and expand disaster countermeasure facilities. In order to further enhance user convenience, NTT Group has increased the storage capacity of messages on the Web171 Disaster Message Board, in terms of number and storage time, linked the mobile and PHS versions of the disaster message board services and added certain functions such as the ability to provide message registration details via email and voice.

As a result, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 were 10,700.7 billion yen (an increase of 1.8% from the previous fiscal year). Consolidated operating expenses were 9,498.8 billion yen (an increase of 2.3% from the previous fiscal year). As a result, consolidated operating income was 1,202.0 billion yen (a decrease of 1.7% from the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes was 1,201.1 billion yen (a decrease of 3.1% from the previous fiscal year), and consolidated net income attributable to NTT was 524.1 billion yen (an increase of 12.1% from the previous fiscal year).

The forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 is as follows: operating revenues of 11,000.0 billion yen (an increase of 2.8% year-over-year), operating income of 1,230.0 billion yen (an increase of 2.3% year-over-year), income before income taxes of 1,280.0 billion yen (an increase of 6.6% year-over-year), and net income attributable to NTT of 585.0 billion yen (an increase of 11.6% year-over-year).

NTT also conducted fundamental research and development and provided the results to each group company so they could be broadly disseminated, while planning and promoting the commercialization of fundamental technologies. Furthermore, NTT exercised voting and other shareholder rights at the general shareholders’ meetings of each group company.

During fiscal year 2012, NTT acquired 38,382,300 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of 150 billion yen pursuant to a resolution passed at its board of directors’ meeting held on September 19, 2012.

[1] Provision of Advice and Intermediary Services to Group Companies

NTT continues to provide appropriate and timely advice and intermediary services to group companies to facilitate the performance of business activities in line with group policies and objectives. Specifically in the past fiscal year, NTT proceeded with the full-scale development of ubiquitous broadband services in line with its Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group,” and provided advice and intermediary services for global businesses. In addition, NTT provided support to promote the promulgation of upper-layer services utilizing broadband services, through its administration of the Next-Generation Services Joint Development Forum and joint operation of a start-up company whose investors include NTT Investment Partners Fund, L.P. As compensation for these services, NTT received 19.0 billion yen in group management and administration revenues for the fiscal year under review (a decrease of 0.8% from the previous fiscal year).

[2] Fundamental Research and Development Activities

NTT has conducted research and development on basic technologies that aim to contribute to the development of a broadband and ubiquitous society and solving societal concerns, such as enhancing medical services and environmental issues, based on the objectives set out in its Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Road to Service Creation Business Group,” while conducting research and development that will serve as a stepping stone towards the newly formulated Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Towards the Next Stage.” With respect to research and development, NTT has aggressively collaborated with other businesses. The commercialization of the results of research and development was carried out through the “General Produce System” under which research and development achievements were integrated into marketing and planning activities for key business lines. NTT also engaged in research and development to develop disaster-resistant network services and research on advanced technologies for the future.

Research and Development Contributing to Service Creation

 

   

Research and Development for Promotion of Broadband and Ubiquitous Services

- NTT Group has developed a technology that understands spoken questions from users, and directly provides the results of its research back to the user. This contributed to the development of a sophisticated new service, “Shabette Concier,” which automatically displays answers to spoken questions that a user speaks into a smartphone.

- NTT Group offered technological support for and achieved the commercialization of “Hikari Share Place” and “Hikari Danran TV” services, both of which provide high quality image transmission services that enable families living separately to feel as if they are living together in the same household.

 

   

Research and Development Corresponding to Societal Challenges

- In order to promote good health and keep healthcare costs at reasonable levels, NTT Group began conducting demonstration experiments with NTT Group employees by utilizing ICT (Information Communication Technology) to support the self-sustained prevention and management of lifestyle-related illnesses.

- As part of its aim to help families cut their energy usage by living smartly, NTT Group conducted demonstration experiments for technology that enables the automatic control of household appliances according to electric power supply and demand information, such as the visualization of energy usage for each household appliance without the need to install a sensor on such appliances.

 

   

Research and Development as a Stepping Stone to the Medium-Term Business Strategy “Towards the Next Stage”

- With the goal of realizing more flexible and faster cloud services, NTT Group established a method under which customers can swiftly configure their own cloud-based information settings.

- NTT Group worked on research and development for security platforms to deliver safe and secure services to our customers. Specifically, NTT Group established techniques to detect at an early stage and analyze unknown security breaches, such as targeted attacks, that until now had been difficult to detect.

- NTT Group developed denser, thinner and lighter optical cables, contributing to smaller optical cable material and installation costs, while limiting the required construction of new pipelines.

 

 

Research and Development to Provide Disaster Resistant Network Services

 

   

NTT Group developed compact radio equipment for disaster countermeasure use in order to restore Hikari Denwa and Internet services at an early stage when optical cable transmission lines are disconnected during a disaster.

 

   

NTT Group developed technology to use sensors to detect cracks not visible to the naked eye in concrete poles, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency.

 

   

NTT Group provided the know-how that it gained through the process of improving disaster message boards, which contributed to the development of “J-anpi,” a service that allows the collective search and confirmation of safety information held by various collaborating corporations and associations.

Advanced Research

 

   

NTT worked to improve its optical transmission technology for relay transmission lines and achieved the world’s fastest optical transmission speed of 1 petabit per second over a single fiber-optic cable.

 

   

NTT discovered a technique to rotate the direction of electrons, which are necessary for quantum information processing, to any desired direction without using a magnetic field as part of its efforts to produce quantum computers that NTT believes will fundamentally change information processing technology.

 

   

As a result of NTT Group’s neuroscience research and development efforts aimed at providing natural communication, NTT Group made the discovery that body shape recognition is associated with one’s sense of hearing.

 

   

NTT Group fused conductive polymers with silk and other thread materials and succeeded in creating a material that is non-irritating to bare skin and enables long-term measurements of vital signs without burdening the wearer of the material. When worn, a shirt made of this material enables continuous monitoring of one’s heartbeat and acts as an electrocardiogram. The development of this material is expected to contribute not only to the medical field but also in various areas such as in sports and in the promotion of healthier living.

As a result of these research and development activities, NTT’s total expenditures on research and development during the fiscal year under review were 127.0 billion yen (an increase of 1.2% from the previous fiscal year), and NTT received basic research and development revenues of 120.9 billion yen (same as the previous fiscal year) as compensation for these research and development activities.

[3] Share Ownership and Exercise of Voting Rights

NTT exercises its rights as a shareholder based on the principle that each group company should conduct its business activities in line with NTT Group’s policies and objectives, while maintaining their independence and autonomy. When exercising voting rights as a shareholder at the general shareholders meetings of each group company in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, NTT determined that the business practices, financial conditions, retained profits, and other conditions during the previous consolidated fiscal year (the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012) were appropriate and, accordingly, NTT voted to approve the disposition of unappropriated retained earnings based on proposals from each group company as well as the election of directors and other matters. As a result, NTT received 282.6 billion yen in dividends (an increase of 8.2% from the previous fiscal year).

As a result of the above, NTT’s operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 were 432.7 billion yen (an increase of 5.2% from the previous fiscal year), recurring profit was 274.4 billion yen (an increase of 5.8% from the previous fiscal year), and net income was 271.5 billion yen (an increase of 5.5% from the previous fiscal year).

Consolidated cash flow from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was 2,453.7 billion yen in revenues. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash flow decreased 54.6 billion yen (2.2%) due to, among other factors, an increase in installment sales of mobile devices.

Consolidated cash flow from investment activities amounted to 1,776.3 billion yen in cash outlays. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays decreased 195.0 billion yen (9.9%). This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in short-term investments associated with cash management activities exceeding three months in duration despite an increase in capital investments.

Consolidated cash flow from financing activities amounted to cash outlays of 745.2 billion yen. Compared to the previous fiscal year, cash outlays decreased 202.9 billion yen (21.4%). This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in the repurchase of treasury stock by NTT.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 totaled 961.4 billion yen, a decrease of 58.7 billion yen (5.8%) compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

3. BUSINESS OPERATION POLICY

(1) Basic Business Operation Policy and Medium-Term Management Objectives

For over 100 years, NTT Group has been the mainstay behind the growth and development of Japanese telecommunications; this track record, the confidence that comes with it, and one of the world’s leading R&D capabilities serve as the foundation from which we will “continue to provide safe and secure services, and continue to always earn the trust of our customers and stakeholders.” In order to do so, we will fulfill the legal responsibilities and social mission demanded of each of our businesses in a market environment characterized by intense competition, and at the same time move proactively to develop our businesses to meet the needs of the diversifying and expanding ICT industry. Our aim is for sustainable development backed always by a high level of trust from both our customers and our shareholders.

In furtherance of this basic business operation policy, NTT Group has worked to expand its provision of broadband and ubiquitous services pursuant to the Medium-Term Strategy, adopted in May 2008, entitled “Road to Service Creation Business Group.” The fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 marked the final year of this Medium- Term Strategy. In November 2012, NTT Group formulated its new Medium-Term Strategy, entitled “Towards the Next Stage,” in order to respond to the increasingly faster globalization of the market and the development of cloud services. Based on this new Medium-Term Management Strategy, NTT Group will make global cloud services, which are expected to grow going forward, the cornerstone of its efforts to accelerate global business development, support the transformation of the business models of its corporate customers and to provide support for the various lifestyles of individual customers. Through these efforts, NTT Group will endeavor to become the “valued partner” that customers continue to select, and contribute to the development of society.

(2) Issues Facing the Corporate Group

Despite lingering uncertainty, a mild overall recovery of the global economy is expected to stem from the recovery of the U.S. economy and of the economic policies of emerging countries. The Japanese economy is expected to improve as a result of favorable export conditions, and the positive effects from Japanese economic and fiscal policies.

A number of both domestic and foreign companies have entered the information and telecommunications market. In addition, the variety and sophistication of services and devices has increased and changes in the market, centered on cloud services, are expected to accelerate going forward. Moreover, fierce market competition above and beyond existing business sector boundaries is expected to further intensify.

In November, 2012, NTT Group released its new Medium-Term Management Strategy, “Toward the Next Stage,” aiming to become the “valued partner” that customers continue to select, by seeking to grow and transform itself.

Specifically, NTT Group will implement the following initiatives.

- Expansion of Global Cloud Services

In order to strengthen its individual services and to swiftly respond to a variety of customers’ needs, NTT Group will bolster its service structure by taking advantage of its ability as a group company to provide comprehensive and integrated cloud services from the information and telecommunications platforms stage, such as data centers and IP backbone, to the ICT management and applications stage.

In addition, in order to accelerate research and development in the cloud and the security sectors, NTT Group established a new company, NTT Innovation Institute, Inc. (NTT I³) in the leading-edge and fiercely competitive North American market. Based on the technology developed at NTT I³, NTT Group will offer North America-based cloud services globally, including Japan. In particular, in the security sector, global security platforms (i.e., shared platforms) will be built and deployed. At the same time, NTT Group will promote efforts to provide services with further improvements in customer safety and security, by working to strengthen its ability to operate under diverse legal systems that differ by country and region.

As a result of the above, NTT aims to reach US$20 billion in overseas sales by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and to increase the proportion of corporate sales represented by overseas sales to 50% or more by setting “Global Cloud Services” as the cornerstone of NTT’s business operations going forward.

- Strengthening Network Service Competitiveness

NTT Group will work to further improve the effectiveness of its network equipment-assets which NTT Group has built up to date by controlling capital investment as appropriate according to the changes in business models and the market. Additionally, by expanding construction projects that do not require the dispatch of NTT employees, NTT Group has cut costs associated with initiating optical transmission lines and has further improved the efficiency in its maintenance and operational business. NTT Group will work to establish simple and highly efficient business operations while taking into account future business environment changes.

As a result of the above efforts, NTT Group expects to reduce costs related to fixed-line/mobile communications service by at least ¥400 billion by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 (compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012), and will comprehensively strengthen the competitiveness of its existing network services.

Furthermore, NTT aims to further expand fiber-optic access by creating new ICT use scenarios and develop a smartphone user platform by improving the quality of LTE service.

In addition, NTT Group aims to reduce its Capex to Sales ratio to 15% by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 through drastic streamlining of capital investments. Further, NTT Group plans to increase M&A activity with a focus on cloud-related businesses with the goal of enhancing shareholder returns.

Through these efforts, NTT Group will work towards EPS growth of 60% or more (compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012) by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.

- Responding to Environmental Issues

 

 

With respect to environmental issues, which are a global concern, NTT Group will bolster its efforts to reduce its environmental burden through the three initiatives below.

 

   

“Green of ICT”

This initiative is aimed at reducing the environmental burden resulting from ICT, through measures such as energy conservation at NTT Group’s data centers and communication facilities, and promoting natural energy generation.

 

   

“Green by ICT”

This initiative promotes the use of ICT, such as telecommuting and teleconferencing, to help reduce the environmental burden on society as a whole.

 

   

“Green with Team NTT”

Under this initiative, each NTT Group employee’s action will help reduce the environmental burden at the workplace, at home and in the community.

 

 

Through the adept use of ICT, NTT will contribute to the realization of environmentally friendly and smart communities (next generation energy, social systems) by promoting a power visualization service for customers’ power consumption in office buildings and condominium complexes to support the reduction of electric power consumption and energy saving.

- Initiatives for Secure and Safe Networks

 

 

Based on experience gained from the Great East Japan Earthquake and other disasters, NTT Group will continue to work towards the development of disaster-resistant facilities. Additionally, with respect to the disaster message dial and other support services, NTT Group will strive to achieve further growth and increased convenience and participate in drills through collaboration with external institutions, such as the national and local governments, and work to bolster its disaster countermeasures.

 

 

In light of the dramatic increase of smartphone users, NTT Group will continue to provide stable operation of its network environment through appropriate enhancement of its facilities and further improvement of its reliability.

 

 

NTT Group will build necessary security countermeasures to handle wide-scale and diversified cyberattacks.

(5) Going Concern Assumption

None

(6) Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of NTT have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), etc.).

Principal Accounting Policies, etc.

Marketable Securities

ASC320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” applies.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of telecommunications equipment to be sold is determined by the first-in first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally using the declining- balance method with the exception of buildings for which the straight-line method is used.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

ASC350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” applies.

Liability for Employees Retirement Benefits

ASC715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits” applies.

Derivative Financial Instruments

ASC815, “Derivatives and Hedging” applies.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed based on income before income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. According to the asset and liability approach, the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and of operating loss carryforward are recognized as deferred tax assets or liabilities.

(7) Change in Significant Matters Serving as a Basis for the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

Effective April 1, 2012, NTT Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU requires comprehensive income to be reported in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements reporting net income and other comprehensive income, and eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. In adopting the ASU, NTT Group implemented the two separate but consecutive statements reporting method.

Calculation of ARPU

in Average the operating monthly revenues revenue of per our unit, Regional or ARPU, Communications is used to measure Business, average that monthly is, telephone operating subscriber revenues lines, attributable “INS-NET” to and designated “FLET’S services Hikari,” by on the a per number user basis. of active In the subscribers case of our to fixed the relevant line business, services. ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included In services the case (i.e. of , basic our mobile monthly business, charges, ARPU voice/packet is calculated communication by dividing charges revenue and items revenues included from in the providing operating services revenues incidental from our to Mobile “FOMA” Communications and “Xi” services), Business, by the number such as of revenues active subscribers from Mobile to (“FOMA”) the relevant services services. and The revenues calculation from of Mobile these (“Xi”) figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

We comprising believe our that U. our S. ARPU GAAP figures results calculated of operations. in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our financial results Notes (1)We compute the following four categories of ARPU for business conducted by each of NTT East and NTT West.

Aggregate included in operating Fixed Line revenues ARPU (Telephone from Voice Subscriber Transmission Lines Services + INS-NET (excluding Subscriber IP Services), Lines): Calculated and revenues based from on “FLET’S revenues ADSL” from monthly and “FLET’S charges ISDN,” and which call charges are included for Telephone in operating Subscriber revenues Lines from and IP Services. INS-NET Subscriber Lines, which are Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL.” INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for “INS-NET” Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ISDN.” FLET’S device charges Hikari ARPU: for “Hikari Calculated Denwa,” based and revenues on revenues from from “FLET’S “FLET’S Hikari” Hikari” optional (including services, “FLET’S which Hikari” are included optional in services), Supplementary which are Business included revenues. in operating revenues from IP Services, revenues from monthly charges, call charges and connection “FLET‘S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET‘S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET‘S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.

(2)Revenues FLET’S Hikari from ARPU. interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU, INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, and (3)For number purposes of subscriptions of calculating for each Aggregate service. Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the (4)In Subscriber terms of number Lines + INS-NET of channels, Subscriber transmission Lines) rate, and and INS-NET line use Subscriber rate (base Lines rate), ARPU, INS-Net one 1500 INS-Net is in 1500 all cases subscription roughly ten is calculated times greater

For this reason, for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone (5)For by NTT purposes East , of and calculating subscribers FLET‘S to “B Hikari FLET’S,” ARPU, “FLET’S number Hikari of subscribers Premium,” “FLET’S is determined Hikari based Mytown,” on “FLET’S the number Hikari of “FLET’S Next,” “FLET’S Hikari” subscribers, Hikari Light” including and “FLET’S “B FLET‘S,” Hikari WiFi “FLET’S Access” Hikari provided Next,” by “FLET‘S NTT West. Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided (6)The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO.

Mobile Aggregate ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) = Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”).

Our based Voice on operating ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) revenues related is based to packet on operating services, revenues such as related flat monthly to voice fees services, and packet such communication as basic monthly charges charges attributable and voice to communication our “FOMA” and charges “Xi” services attributable and our to our Smart “FOMA” ARPU and (“FOMA”+“Xi”) “Xi” services, is and based our on Packet operating ARPU revenues (“FOMA”+“Xi”) from is providing services incidental to “FOMA” and “Xi” wireless communications services (content services related revenues, fee collection agency commissions, handset warranty service revenues, advertising revenues, etc.).

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013

With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, despite the relative stabilization of the U.S. economy, Europe’s bond-related economic downturn had a ripple effect on China and other emerging countries, leading to continued economic stagnation. The Japanese economy, despite showing signs of mild recovery mainly from domestic demand stemming from rebuilding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, has shown weakened growth from the effects of the global economic slowdown. However, the outlook for the Japanese economy started to show signs of improvement from December 2012 through the close of the fiscal year in anticipation of the new monetary easing policy adopted by the Bank of Japan.

In addition to the growth of the information and communications market, due to increased Internet usage in conjunction with the increasing shift to IP and broadband services, the market has seen structural changes that transcend the existing framework, including fixed-line and mobile convergence, cloud computing(*1), the development of “smart” televisions, the penetration of high-speed wireless and Wi-Fi(*2) compatible devices in the market, such as smartphones and tablet devices, and the spread of applications that enable free voice and messaging communications.

The market environment, in relation to regional telecommunications is also changing dramatically, with growing competition in broadband service facilities and services centered around the shift to fiber-optic services, the expansion of other new services that leverage various wireless devices and the resulting diversification of customer usage applications, as well as increased off-load(*3) needs resulting from the increase in the amount of transmitted data.

Amidst such a challenging and volatile business environment, and as a responsible standard-bearer for the information and communications industry, NTT East continued to comply with all laws and regulations and social norms and worked to strictly uphold fair competition conditions. At the same time, NTT East aimed to stabilize and strengthen its managerial platform while also providing high quality and stable universal services. NTT East also worked to ensure reliability with respect to social infrastructure, starting with prompt restoration in times of large-scale natural disasters. Furthermore, NTT East moved forward with its initiatives to achieve full-fledged recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, promoted various measures to further improve the reliability of its communications networks, and has implemented measures that take into account possible future disasters including an earthquake directly under Tokyo.

In line with NTT Group’s Medium-Term Management Strategy “Road to Service Creation Business Group” (the “Medium-Term Management Strategy”) adopted by NTT in May 2008, NTT East has devoted its energy to enhancing broadband/ubiquitous environments and to expanding fiber-optic access service user demographics through the provision of new services and products that leverage the next generation network (NGN(*4)), as well as the provision of customer-friendly rate menus that allow longer term usage.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP Services

Amid intensifying competition with respect to broadband services, NTT East launched new services, which promote the expansion and continued use of “FLET’S Hikari”(*5) and aim to meet customer needs when using their Wi-Fi-compatible devices.

i. NTT East implemented its largest-ever discount campaign, “Omoikkiri-Wari,” for customers who newly subscribe to FLET’S Hikari.

NTT East also launched the “Ninen-wari” rate plan, which offers discounted monthly charges to multi-dwelling units in addition to single-dwelling units on the condition that users stay subscribed for a period of two years, and also lowered the monthly fee for FLET’S Hikari Light Mansion Type in order to attract more customers.

ii. In response to the spread of smartphone and tablet devices, NTT East launched “FLET’S Hikari Wi-Fi Access,” which allows shared wireless LAN access connected by optical networks by multiple users within the same apartment buildings or other small-scale multi-dwelling units. Further, NTT East launched the “FLET’S Odekake Pack,” a set that includes, “FLET’S Spot” and “Mobile Data Transmission Service,”(*6) provided by other mobile communications carriers.

In addition, under an arrangement with the Jiyugaoka Association of Business Commerce, station areas, the shopping districts and stores in Jiyugaoka township in Tokyo have become Wi-Fi areas through the use of “Hikari Station.” NTT East contributed in improving the attractiveness of the Jiyugaoka shopping district by providing an environment that enables the transmission of information about Jiyugaoka’s shopping district to smartphones and high-speed Internet connections via “FLET’S SPOT.”

Furthermore, under arrangements with local governments and tourism associations in Yamanashi Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Nagano City, Aomori City and elsewhere, NTT East provided Wi-Fi environments to commercial areas which are also accessible to foreign tourists, whose numbers have been increasing rapidly in recent years. As a result, NTT East has enhanced user convenience by enabling people to procure information distributed by tourism centers, stores, and lodging facilities.

iii. NTT East made the “FLET’S MATOMETE SHIHARAI” payment collection agent service, which was previously limited to just information services such as digital content, available for use by businesses that sell products online over the Internet, and for a wider range of products, such as for food and apparel.

As a result, businesses that sell information services, goods and other products by utilizing the Internet now have the option of providing customers with a new and secure settlement method, in addition to existing methods such as credit cards and payment on receipt, where charges are combined with NTT East’s, such as FLET’S service charges.

iv. As a new initiative to support communication between families and persons living apart from their families, NTT East also launched the “Single & Family Support App (miFa).” In addition, NTT East began accepting applications for the “Single & Family Support Rate” that discounts the monthly rate for each “FLET’S Hikari” billing group.

For “FLET’S Hikari” users, NTT East also announced the launch date of the “FLET’S Azukeru” service, which enables the online storage(*7), sharing and viewing of images, video, and other data via the Internet.

Furthermore, NTT East commenced the sale of a set of devices that work with “FLET’S Miruene,” for which subsidies are available under the “Project Encouraging Deployment of Energy Management Systems (HEMS(*8) Deploying Business)” program from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. NTT East also launched the “FLET’S Miruene Otegaru Pack (Subsidized),” which includes installation work for the devices.

v. NTT East has worked to promote subscription to the membership program “FLET’S Hikari Member’s Club” intended for FLET’S Hikari subscribers. In February 2013, membership surpassed 4 million.

(2) Initiatives Relating to the Solutions Business

NTT East launched business operations in fields such as local government, medicine, and education, centered around industry-specific solutions that take into account each industry’s characteristics and trends, for the satisfaction of its regional customers through the promotion of ICT(*9) utilization.

i. In the field of local government, given the need for preserving important data, as made evident by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the heightened needs of cloud customers to transition from “possession” to “use,” NTT East launched “Biz Hikari Cloud Safe Server Hosting,” a service that lends customers virtual servers in NTT East’s cloud platform, and “Biz Hikari Cloud Safe Data Backup,” a service that allows customers to back up their data on a cloud platform.

In order to accommodate the information distribution needs of organizations such as local governments and NPOs(*10), NTT East launched “FLET’S Cast Share,” a service that enables easy transmission of images and other data to multiple users at a low rate.

In addition, NTT East executed a Cooperation and Coordination Basic Agreement with the University of Aizu with the goal of mutually cooperating towards local revitalization and industry creation utilizing ICT.

ii. In the field of medicine, NTT East launched the diagnostic information coordination system “Hikari Timeline,” which enables information sharing among medical institutions by gathering electronic medical records of different medical institutions and placing them in chronological order.

iii. NTT East reached an agreement with Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. to promote ICT utilization by small- to medium-scale businesses in the small office/home office market. In collaboration with Dell Japan, NTT East and Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. launched a one-stop service that unifies the resources of NTT East and Microsoft Japan, namely the operating systems, applications, and cloud service provided by Microsoft Japan, NTT East’s “FLET’S Hikari” and “Office Marugoto Support,” together with Dell Japan’s latest personal computers and tablet devices.

(3) Status of Business Operation Structure

With respect to business operational structure, in March 2013, NTT East established the “Tohoku ICT Promotion Office” within its Business & Office Business Promotion Headquarters in order to propose and build “Town Disaster Capabilities Enhancement” and “Town Vitalization and High-Speed Conversion,” each of which utilize information communications systems, for local governments in the Tohoku Region.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility Activities

NTT East considers Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) activities to be one of the most important pillars in the management of the company. NTT East believes that it is the social responsibility of a company to contribute to the environmentally-friendly, healthy and sustainable development of society. To this end, pursuant to the NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006), NTT East sought to comply with the law and address its efforts towards reducing the environmental burden of its operations.

i. NTT East continued to direct its efforts towards compliance with laws and regulations to ensure fair competition, protect personal information, make correct representations in advertising, and regarding the dispatch of workers. In addition to the efforts undertaken to date, in particular, in light of the arrest of an employee in March 2012 on suspicion of violating the Act concerning Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, etc. (“NTT Law”), NTT East worked to enhance awareness of corporate ethics by once more implementing thorough employee training for all workers at all work places of the NTT East Japan Group regarding the intent of the NTT Law and the importance of compliance.

ii. In view of the national state of supply and demand of electricity during the summer season, NTT East worked, as it did in the last fiscal year, to save electricity used by communication facilities to the greatest extent possible while ensuring the maintenance of communications services. NTT East’s goal was cutting peak electricity consumption by 30% or more in offices compared to the 2010 fiscal year.

NTT East also worked to save electricity in the winter season, particularly in the Hokkaido Electric Power area.

iii. NTT East actively promoted diversity efforts based on the view that fostering and utilizing diverse personnel leads to new innovation and the strengthening of corporate capabilities. NTT East identified diversity management as an important management strategy, and pursuant to its diversity vision, “Turn brightness into power. Turn motivation into innovation,” worked to support employee career development and to promote work/life balance. Also, in order to help employees successfully carry out work and child-rearing responsibilities, NTT East established “DAI«KIDS Hatsudai,” an in-office child care center, in the head office building.

iv. To promote the principles of such CSR activities, NTT East issued the NTT East Group CSR Report 2012, among other things, to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

(5) Efforts towards Full-fledged Restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake

i. In efforts directed towards full-fledged restoration from the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT East worked to further improve service reliability, including ensuring the reliability of relay transmission lines (inland route detours to avoid tsunami areas and under-river cables), relocating destroyed or washed-away buildings to higher ground, improving water-resistance of flooded communication buildings and replacing degraded batteries.

ii. Utilizing the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT East increased the storage capacity of messages in terms of number and storage time of the Broadband Disaster Message Board (web171), linked the mobile and PHS versions of the disaster message board services together, and added certain functions such as the ability to provide message registration details via email and voice. NTT introduced this service as the Web171 Disaster Message Board.

iii. In addition to the foregoing, as countermeasures against future disasters, NTT East implemented a drill in October 2012 where employees assembled at the head office as part of preparations in anticipation of a disaster on a non-working day, and in February 2013, as part of preparations in anticipation of a suspension of head office building functions following a disaster, NTT East implemented drills for alternate gathering points and an alternate headquarters launch.

1. Summary of Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013

With respect to the global economy, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, despite the relative stabilization of the U.S. economy, Europe’s bond-related economic downturn had a ripple effect on China and other emerging countries, leading to continued economic stagnation. The Japanese economy, despite showing signs of mild recovery mainly from domestic demand stemming from rebuilding after the Great East Japan Earthquake, has shown weakened growth from the effects of the global economic slowdown. However, the outlook for the Japanese economy has started to show signs of improvement from December 2012 through the close of the fiscal year in anticipation of the new monetary easing policy adopted by the Bank of Japan.

In the information and telecommunications market, as Japan moves towards the formation of a ubiquitous network society where information and communications technologies (ICT) will be utilized extensively, ICT is expected to play a leading role in improving the efficiency and vitality of socio-economic activities and bringing greater convenience to the Japanese public. The public and private sectors are collaborating to achieve this vision. In addition, with the growth of broadband, globalization and the increased popularity of smartphones and tablet devices, user needs have diversified and become more sophisticated, and platform-type services and cloud services have expanded, leading to structural changes in the information and telecommunications market. In the regional communications market, competition among broadband service carriers utilizing optical access and cable TV, and competition between services due to the increased speed in mobile networks, has progressed. Furthermore, there have been drastic changes in the industry, including the convergence between fixed and mobile communications and between communications and broadcasting and the convergence among services utilizing a diverse range of wireless devices.

In this challenging and evolving business environment, NTT West endeavors to be a “customer-oriented corporate group” that meets customer expectations, contributes to society and provides high quality, stable universal service. NTT West has devoted its energy to promoting and expanding safe, secure, reliable, and desirable broadband and ubiquitous services that meet customers’ needs, through new services and products that utilize the framework of the NGN and its networks.

(1) Efforts to Promote Fiber-optic and IP services

NTT West has been promoting fiber-optic and IP services to expand the use of fiber-optic services by establishing ubiquitous broadband networks and offering customer-friendly price menus and attractive services.

For example, NTT West is expanding opportunities to use FLET’S Hikari in a wide variety of applications while developing and expanding services that can support the day-to-day lives and business activities of a broad range of customers, from individuals to businesses.

NTT West’s goal is to further develop “FLET’S Hikari” fiber-optic broadband services and promote their use. To achieve this, NTT West worked to expand services by, among other things, launching “FLET’S Hikari Next Super High-Speed Type Hayabusa,” introducing “FLET’S Hikari Wi-Fi Access,” an Internet connection service for multi-dwelling units, and lowering monthly charges for “FLET’S Hikari Light Apartment Type.”

In addition, as part of its initiative to enhance and strengthen its pricing service, NTT West launched “Hikari Motto Motto Wari,” a discount service for long-term customers designed to encourage continued use, as well as “Group Wari,” a monthly charge discount service available to FLET’S Hikari subscribers who can form a group to use the service.

Furthermore, NTT West has a goal of readily offering more customers an enjoyable communication environment necessary for playing online games by entering into alliances with other business operators. In furtherance of this goal, NTT West collaborated with Square Enix Co., Ltd., the provider of Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Online, the series’ first online game, and Nintendo Co., Ltd., the company that offers the “Wii” and the “Wii U” home video game consoles, to promote and provide Internet connection support.

NTT West has worked to improve customer convenience of “Hikari Denwa” by introducing “Free Access Next,” a collect call service, and provided a speed dialing service connection (#dial), with the aim of promoting the use of video communication services. NTT West also worked to expand its services and began offering “TV Denwa Choice Teigaku,” a flat rate service for high-quality video phone calls.

To meet the growing needs of public Wi-Fi access due to the rapid increase in smartphone and tablet device users, NTT West also launched a roaming service with DoSPOT, a Wi-Fi service for retailers provided by NTT Media Supply Co., Ltd., and implemented other measures to increase access points of “FLET’S Spot (web authentication),” a public wireless LAN service.

Furthermore, as part of the initiative to create new lifestyles, NTT West launched services such as “FLET’S Eco-megane,” a cloud-based energy use visualization service, and “Hikari Danran TV,” which enables space sharing communication by sharing high-quality real-time videos on home televisions and various applications through an alliance with “Hikari Box+,” a set-top box that allows customers to use the Internet and to enjoy videos on home televisions.

In addition, with respect to support services, in order to address new security threats against Android handsets as a result of the recent rapid increase in the number of smartphones and tablet devices running the Android operating system, NTT West worked to increase the number of devices with remote support service by implementing support for Android smartphones and “Hikari Box +” through the “remote support service,” and making its security tools compatible with Android devices.

(2) Efforts Concerning Solutions Business

As part of NTT West’s initiatives for expanding its service coverage of large as well as small-and-medium-sized businesses, NTT West developed efficient and effective marketing activities in both the public and private sectors with a focus on industry-specific solutions based on each industry’s unique characteristics and trends, and made further use of ICT tools such as cloud services to enhance the satisfaction of its regional customers.

As part of NTT West’s efforts to expand its cloud services, NTT West began offering a cloud-based remote access service and a web conferencing service to local governments and corporations in order to support BCP (business continuity planning) in a secure telework environment. For universities, NTT West launched a cloud-based education support service that provides study-support and encourages interactive communication between teaching staff and students. NTT West also began offering a service to agricultural cooperatives that digitizes and stores important documents handled by their credit business on a cloud storage system.

As part of its collaborative efforts with local governments, NTT West worked to further promote the “Smart Hikari Town Kumamoto” project, launched in February 2012 in conjunction with Kumamoto prefecture and Kumamoto city, to realize “Smart Hikari Town.” As part of the project, NTT West introduced “Smart Airport,” which utilizes digital signage, began distributing “Kumamoto Smart Station,” which enables travelers to check train and bus schedules and other information, and developed a model business for “visualizing home energy consumption and controlling home appliances.” In addition, in the town of Shodoshima, Shozu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, NTT West introduced “Hikari Kenko Sodan,” a cloud-based health consultation service as part of the town’s “Olive Healthcare System Project,” a health maintenance project carried out by community members.

Moreover, NTT West has worked to expand services for corporate customers. NTT West added Android smartphones to the devices eligible for remote support on “Office Net Omakase Support Service,” and improved the customer IT support screen in its service’s menu to further enhance support services.

(3) Business Operation Structures

NTT West’s aim with respect to business operational structure is to enhance cooperation among the facility businesses such as those responsible for the building, maintenance and management of communication facilities. To achieve this goal, NTT West established a “Facilities Headquarters,” with three departments under it: “Network,” “Service Management” and “Interconnection Promotion.” NTT West also set up the “Alliance Promotion Office” to promote alliances with other companies. Moreover, based on the view that the fundamental goal of service development is to use fiber-optic services to “design a lifestyle that connects everything and enriches everyday life,” the Service Creation Department was renamed the Business Design Department.

In the area of facility maintenance, NTT West held a bloc forum aimed at learning from the major Hikari Denwa failure, strengthening execution capabilities and improving service quality, and carried out information distribution and assessment drills. NTT West also worked to enhance its disaster preparedness framework, carrying out a preparedness exercise designed to mimic events in the event of a large earthquake along the Nankai Trough. NTT West also executed planned facility inspections with “Hikikomisen Team Zero” with the goal of eliminating third-party accidents caused by fallen lines.

As part of its comprehensive cost control efforts to maintain profitable management, NTT West worked to further enhance the efficiency of fiber-optic service installation work, shorten and improve delivery dates through concurrent development of KAIZEN measures, increased installation jobs that do not require the dispatch of NTT employees by setting up fiber-optic outlets at properties with high tenant turnover, and decreased back orders and order cancellations with a back order hotline. NTT West also improved the efficiency of maintenance work by accepting voice messages on weekends and holidays at the 113 center.

(4) Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Activities

The NTT Group CSR Charter (adopted in June 2006) stipulates that, as responsible members of the information and communication industry, NTT Group companies will provide services of the highest quality and trust and contribute to the development of a safe, secure and prosperous society where people, society and the earth are connected through communications. Based on the CSR Charter, NTT West set up three new core CSR principles – thorough compliance, development of a safe and secure society, and creation of value through business activities – and set a “visualization” benchmark. Each NTT West employee takes part in CSR activities, including working to maintain legal compliance, providing safe and reliable communication services and reducing the burden on the environment.

In particular, with respect to thorough compliance, NTT Group has promoted groupwide initiatives in five high risk areas that have the potential to erode consumer trust in NTT West group companies, namely “misconduct in performing services,” “driving under the influence,” “information security breaches,” “power harassment” and “respect for human rights.”

In order to achieve its environmental grand design (new self-determined action plan targets) based on the NTT Group Environmental Vision (The Green Vision 2020) established in November 2010, NTT West has been working to decrease its power usage, amount of paper used, and the waste it produces. In addition, NTT West, under its biodiversity conservation activity entitled “Midori Ippai Project,” carried out foresting activities and engaged in other activities that contribute to the environment of local communities.

To promote the principles of the NTT Group CSR Charter and group-wide CSR activities, NTT West enhanced its CSR management and issued the “NTT West Group CSR Report 2012” and the “NTT West Group Environmental Report 2012” to proactively disclose relevant information to its stakeholders.

In addition, with respect to major damage caused by Typhoons 4 and 17 and torrential rainfall in the Kyushu region to NTT West’s communications facilities, NTT responded by quickly restoring communications services through around the clock restoration efforts by employees from companies throughout NTT Group.

With respect to power shortages and energy-saving efforts since the Great East Japan Earthquake, NTT West implemented the maximum power saving measures possible at both its exchange offices and office buildings.

(5) Financial Standing

As a result of these efforts during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, operating revenues totaled 1,627.9 billion yen (a decrease of 2.9% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012), operating income was 19.2 billion yen (a decrease of 48.2% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012), recurring profit was 28.3 billion yen (a decrease of 33.0% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012), and net profit totaled 20.9 billion yen (an increase of 2.2% from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012).

I. Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013

NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) announced today that its non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 (FY2012) saw net income increase 12.0% year on year to 65.3 billion yen, operating revenues decrease 3.7% to 944.8 billion yen and operating income increase 11.7% to 118.1 billion yen. Operating expenses shrank 5.6% to 826.6 billion yen. All results are based on Japanese accounting principles.

BACKGROUND

With the inauguration of Japan’s new administration, monetary and fiscal measures targeting protracted deflation, including emergency economic measures, were promptly implemented, resulting in a correction of the yen and a rise in stock prices. However, with Japan’s economic recovery still not on track and the global economic slowdown continuing, the future direction of the domestic economy remains uncertain.

In addition to the rapid popularization of smartphones and tablet devices, the expansion of cloud computing and improvements in high-speed technology in mobile access, such as LTE, the ICT industry is seeing growing interest in new applications of information and communications technologies, such as big data analysis and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

In accordance with the company’s Vision 2015 growth strategy and corporate slogan “Global ICT Partner,” NTT Com aims to achieve consolidated revenues of 1.5 trillion yen in FY2015, including a more than twofold increase in global sales compared with FY2010.

In FY2012, NTT Com worked to develop new growth businesses while drastically streamlining existing businesses to achieve its Vision 2015 goals. For example, the company provided new services based on its Global Cloud Vision, carried out global seamless sales activities and implemented highly competitive operations.

In services, the company strived to provide global seamless services and enhance its service lineups.

Specific measures taken by type of service were as follows:

 

   

Cloud Platforms

Enterprise Cloud, the world’s first private cloud service to deploy network virtualization technology on networks inside and/or between data centers, was unveiled in Japan and Hong Kong and then expanded to nine locations in seven countries, as of the end of March 2013.

In addition, the company’s network of domestic and international data centers was further strengthened with openings of the Singapore Serangoon Data Center and the Malaysia Cyberjaya 3 Data Center and the completion of construction of Tokyo’s largest data center, the Tokyo No.6 Data Center.

 

   

Data Networks

NTT Com’s highly reliable global network services were enhanced by connecting the Asia Submarine-cable Express, a submarine cable launched in August 2012, to Arcstar Universal One.

To meet a variety of mobile needs, the company also enhanced its Arcstar Universal One Mobile service and OCN Mobile service through the introduction of LTE-compatible plans, which enable high-speed mobile data communication. Furthermore, in response to rapidly increasing communications volume, Super OCN 100 gigabit Ethernet Service was provided for the first time in Asia.

 

   

Voice Communications

Positioning line consolidation of voice and data communications and BYOD-compatible services as the company’s core services for enterprise customers, the company began offering Arcstar IP Voice and a W-mode option in 050 plus for Biz and enhanced the features of Arcstar UCaaS. Moreover, the lineup of web-conferencing services was strengthened with the launch of Arcstar Video Conferencing, a high-quality video conferencing service that can be used on smartphones and tablet devices.

Applications and Content

The company’s offerings of general services that can be used in any industry, including mail, storage, and virtual desktop, were expanded to meet the needs of enterprise customers. NTT Com Online Marketing Solution Corporation was established to further strengthen the online marketing business, which supports customers’ marketing activities. Group subsidiary NTT Plala augmented its Hikari TV service with the launch of an e-book service, Hikari TV book, and a music distribution service, Hikari TV music.

 

   

Solution Services

Cloud Migration Services was launched to provide one-stop support to customers shifting their on-premise systems to cloud services, including the migration of everything from servers to network infrastructure and applications. Moreover, the company launched its Managed Security Services and developed a new security platform that has enhanced functions to detect and analyze security risks, such as targeted attacks, in cooperation with Integralis, Secode and NTT Secure Platform Laboratories.

In sales, NTT Com targeted global seamless sales by utilizing its global account management system to further enhance its sales activities. Also, it established NTT Com Marketing Corporation and launched an online shopping site, NTT Com Store, to strengthen sales activities targeted at small and midsize enterprises. Furthermore, the company established the BYOD Promotion Department to reinforce its BYOD business.

Finally, in the area of operations, NTT Com greatly improved efficiency through a review of overlapped processes across services and a Group-wide restructuring of its value chains. In particular, the company directed Group-wide resources and know-how to the appropriate companies to improve the operational expertise of each company, thereby further streamlining operations. It also actively advanced efforts to divide functions at a global level and allocate them appropriately, including the promotion of offshoring. Furthermore, the company’s cost structure was drastically transformed through the standardization, automation and consolidation of operational processes.

Overseas, NTT Com was the first foreign telecommunications company to establish a sales branch in Yangon, Myanmar, a rapidly growing market. Also, striving to enhance its high-value-added ICT services to better meet the needs of multinational companies, NTT Com acquired India’s data center provider Netmagic Solutions Private Limited, UK’s data center provider Gyron Internet Limited, and Freedom Resources Holdings Corporation, a subsidiary of the DTSI group, which provides IP telephony and system integration services for operating systems mainly in the Philippines.

OPERATING RESULTS

Operating revenues declined again in FY2012 compared to FY2011. Voice transmission service revenues decreased 9.4% year on year to 293.9 billion yen, IP service revenues declined 0.7% to 371.8 billion yen and data communications service revenues were down 13.6% to 67.6 billion yen. Solution services revenues, which have been declining continuously in recent years, increased 2.4% to 183.9 billion yen. Total operating revenues decreased 3.7% to 944.8 billion yen.

On the positive side, tighter cost controls lowered expenses for purchases of goods and services by 6.7% to 400.6 billion yen. Access charges decreased 9.7% to 213.5 billion yen due to lower voice transmission service charges. Total operating expenses declined 5.6% to 826.6 billion yen.

As a result, operating income increased 11.7% to 118.1 billion yen and net income was up 12.0% to 65.3 billion yen, which included the booking of special profits of 24.0 billion yen on the settlement of interconnection charges and sales of real estate, as well as special losses of 31.8 billion yen on the write-off of investments made by affiliated companies.

5. Average Monthly Revenue per Unit (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. In the case of our fixed line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of our Regional Communications Business, that is, telephone subscriber lines, “INS-NET” and “FLET’S Hikari,” by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services.

In the case of our mobile business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues from our Mobile Communications Business, such as revenues from Mobile (“FOMA”) services and revenues from Mobile (“Xi”) services (i.e., basic monthly charges, voice/packet communication charges and revenues from providing services incidental to “FOMA” and “Xi” services), by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services. The calculation of these figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

We believe that our ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of our subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our financial results comprising our U.S. GAAP results of operations.

Notes :    (1)      We compute the following four categories of ARPU for business conducted by each of NTT East and NTT West.
         Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines): Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and INS-NET Subscriber Lines, which are included in operating revenues from Voice Transmission Services (excluding IP Services), and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL” and “FLET’S ISDN,” which are included in operating revenues from IP Services.
         Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for Telephone Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ADSL.”
         INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from monthly charges and call charges for “INS-NET” Subscriber Lines and revenues from “FLET’S ISDN.”
         FLET’S Hikari ARPU: Calculated based on revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” (including “FLET’S Hikari” optional services), which are included in operating revenues from IP Services, revenues from monthly charges, call charges and connection device charges for “Hikari Denwa,” and revenues from “FLET’S Hikari” optional services, which are included in Supplementary Business revenues.
         “FLET’S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.
   (2)    Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU, INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.
   (3)    For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), Telephone Subscriber Lines ARPU and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for each service.
   (4)    In terms of number of channels, transmission rate, and line use rate (base rate), INS-Net 1500 is in all cases roughly ten times greater than INS-Net 64. For this reason, for the purpose of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and INS-NET Subscriber Lines ARPU, one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS-Net 64 subscriptions.
   (5)    For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, number of subscribers is determined based on the number of “FLET’S Hikari” subscribers, including “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Premium,” “FLET’S Hikari Mytown,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT West.
   (6)    The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for mobile business conducted by NTT DOCOMO.
         Mobile Aggregate ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) = Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) + Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”).
            Our Voice ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to voice services, such as basic monthly charges and voice communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services, and our Packet ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues related to packet services, such as flat monthly fees and packet communication charges attributable to our “FOMA” and “Xi” services and our Smart ARPU (“FOMA”+“Xi”) is based on operating revenues from providing services incidental to “FOMA” and “Xi” wireless communications services (content services related revenues, fee collection agency commissions, handset warranty service revenues, advertising revenues, etc.)
   (7)    We started to use the Smart ARPU metric during the three months ended September 30, 2012. As a result, Smart ARPU will now be included in Mobile Aggregate ARPU. In addition, the following amounts (content services related revenues) that were formerly included in Packet ARPU will now be reclassified as Smart ARPU: 80 yen out of Packet ARPU revenues for the year ended March 31, 2012; 90 yen out of Packet ARPU revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012; and 80 yen out of Packet ARPU revenues for the year ended March 31, 2013.
   (8)    “mova” services were terminated as of March 31, 2012. “mova” service subscriptions are included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU, Voice ARPU and Packet ARPU for the year ended Mar. 31, 2012.
   (9)    Communications module service, phone number storage service and mail address storage service subscribers and the revenues therefrom are not included in the calculations of Mobile Aggregate ARPU.
   (10)    Number of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.
            1Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Jun.
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jul. to Sept.
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Oct. to Dec.
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jan. to Mar.
            FY Results : Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Mar.
            FY Forecast: Sum of the average expected active number of subscribers during the fiscal year ((number of subscribers at Mar. 31, 2013 + number of expected subscribers at Mar. 31, 2014)/2)x12
   (11)    Number of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
            1Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Jun.
            2Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jul. to Sept.
            3Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Oct. to Dec.
            4Q Results: Sum of number of active subscribers** for each month from Jan. to Mar.
            FY Results/FY Forecast: Sum of number of active subscribers**/expected number of active subscribers** for each month from Apr. to Mar.
