During the three months ended June 30, 2016, pursuant to its Medium-Term Management Strategy, adopted in May 2015, entitled “Towards the Next Stage 2.0,” NTT implemented measures to embark on a profit growth track by accelerating its self-transformation towards becoming a “Value Partner.”

<Efforts to Expand NTT’s Global Business and Increase Profit Generation>

NTT Group seeks to expand and establish its global business as a cornerstone of its business operations and to accelerate profit generation through the following initiatives.

Specifically, NTT Group promoted cross-selling through collaboration among its group companies, including businesses related to global networks, cloud migration, and IT outsourcing, and received orders from companies in the transportation and finance industries and other industries.

In order to provide security services globally, NTT established NTT Security Corporation, which aggregates the specialized security expertise of NTT Com Security, Solutionary, Dimension Data, NTT Innovation Institute and NTT Communications.

Furthermore, each NTT Group Company has been resolutely engaged in optimizing services and operations and reducing procurement costs by continuously implementing cost reduction measures.

In addition, in order to support the above measures, NTT Group aims to strengthen its group governance and risk management, by increasing the transparency of information regarding group management, further unifying group accounting standards and practices, bolstering cash management, and enhancing collaboration within NTT Group’s global subsidiaries.

<Efforts to Optimize Domestic Network Businesses and Enhance Profitability>

NTT Group aimed to enhance profit generation of its domestic network businesses by optimizing capital investments and reducing costs. With regard to optimizing capital investments, NTT worked to improve the efficiency of its facility use and reduce procurement costs, in addition to simplifying and streamlining its network systems. A project team formed last year is in the process of reviewing various topics and initiatives aimed at generating profits.

In the regional communications business segment, NTT promoted initiatives for its “Hikari Collaboration Model” and subscriptions for Hikari access services for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” reached over 5.0 million. In the mobile communications business segment, NTT worked to enhance profitability by promoting the sales of its “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” billing plan through the further expansion of “Zutto DOCOMO Discount” and as a result of strengthened sales promotion, reaching over 31.0 million subscriptions. Through the above efforts, NTT worked to reduce costs beginning with controlling marketing costs.

<Efforts to Achieve Sustainable Growth >

The Japanese government has been developing and implementing a variety of policies centered on the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Japanese government’s “Vitalization of Local Economies” initiative. NTT Group plans to make use of these opportunities to accelerate migration to the B2B2X model and strengthen measures aimed at creating services that will become the standards of the next generation.

Specifically, NTT entered into a partnership agreement with Kubota Corporation (“Kubota”) through which Kubota’s infrastructure solutions for agriculture and water management capabilities will be combined with NTT’s research and development capabilities and with each NTT Group company’s ICT services, with the goal of new value creation.

In addition, NTT promoted initiatives towards the realization of “Vitalization of Local Economies” through ICT use by, among other things, launching “Iida Cable Television & FLET’S Hikari” and entering into a “Collaboration and Cooperation Framework Agreement” with Ehime Prefecture and Matsuyama City.

As a result of these efforts, NTT Group’s consolidated operating revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 were ¥2,716.7 billion (an increase of 0.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating expenses were ¥2,229.3 billion (a decrease of 5.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating income was ¥487.4 billion (an increase of 35.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), consolidated income before income taxes and equity in earnings (losses) of affiliated companies was ¥446.1 billion (an increase of 21.4% from the same period of the previous fiscal year), and net income attributable to NTT was ¥243.6 billion (an increase of 26.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year).

Operating revenues in the long-distance and international communications business segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased 0.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥519.0 billion. This increase was due to, among other things, an increase in IP/packet communications revenues due to the expansion of “OCN Hikari” and other services, partially offset by a decrease in fixed voice-related revenues and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on NTT’s overseas businesses. Furthermore, operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased 1.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥492.0 billion primarily due to the streamlining of sales-related expenses, among other things. As a result, segment operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased 27.3% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥27.0 billion.

Despite a decline in revenues from sales of equipment, operating revenues for the mobile communications business segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased 3.0% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥1,108.7 billion due to a recovery in IP/packet communications revenues resulting from an increase in the number of subscribers to “Kake-hodai & Pake-aeru” and “docomo Hikari,” as well as an increase in revenues from “dmarket” services and from the Smart Life area. On the other hand, despite an increase in revenue-linked expenses in the “docomo Hikari” and Smart Life areas, operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased 3.8% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥810.4 billion due to a decrease in depreciation expense resulting from the change of the depreciation method of property, plant and equipment, a decrease in the cost of equipment sold and efforts to streamline costs. As a result, segment operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased 27.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥298.3 billion.

(2) Qualitative Information Relating to Consolidated Financial Position

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased ¥38.3 billion (7.6%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥539.1 billion. This increase was due to, among other factors, an increase in operating income.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased ¥108.4 billion (18.4%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥481.7 billion. This decrease was due to, among other factors, a decrease in capital investments.

Net cash used in financing activities increased ¥467.8 billion (223.6%) from the same period of the previous fiscal year to ¥258.6 billion. This increase was due to, among other factors, an increase in stock repurchases by NTT and an increase in stock repurchases by NTT’s subsidiaries.

As a result of the above, NTT Group’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2016 totaled ¥869.8 billion, a decrease of ¥218.5 billion (20.1%) from the end of the previous fiscal year.

(3) Change of accounting policy: Yes

Change in depreciation method

NTT and its subsidiaries in Japan traditionally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, NTT and its subsidiaries adopted the straight-line method of depreciation.

As NTT Group plans to complete the expansion of its service areas for fiber-optic services and LTE services in the network business, it has been shifting the focus of its capital investments to improving the efficiency in using facilities while maintaining the current functionality. With respect to network services, NTT has started providing the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of fiber-optic access services, which can be used by customers of both fixed-line communications services and mobile communications services in the long-term. Through these efforts, NTT expects the stable usage of property, plant, and equipment going forward.

For these reasons, NTT 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 effects of the change in the depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in the accounting estimate pursuant to FASB ASC-250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”

In line with the change in the depreciation method, NTT reviewed the residual carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and other necessary items and made changes where necessary.

As a result of the change in the depreciation method, depreciation expenses on a consolidated basis for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased by ¥63,624 million. Consolidated net income attributable to NTT and consolidated basic net income attributable to NTT per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased by ¥36,044 million and ¥17.27, respectively.

Change in Fiscal Year End of Certain Subsidiaries

As of April 1, 2016, certain of NTT’s consolidated subsidiaries changed their fiscal year ends from December 31 to March 31, thereby eliminating a three-month discrepancy between their fiscal year ends and NTT’s fiscal year end in NTT’s quarterly financial statements. The elimination of this discrepancy was applied as a change in accounting policy. NTT did not make any retrospective adjustments to its financial statements as these changes did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended March 31, 2016. As a result of this change, NTT’s retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and noncontrolling interests have decreased by ¥214 million, ¥1,454 million and ¥1,408 million, respectively, in each case as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. In addition, the change in cash and cash equivalents resulting from this change in fiscal year end is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows under “Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents due to change in fiscal year end of consolidated subsidiaries.”

As indicated in “2(3) Change of accounting policy,” effective April 1, 2016, NTT and its subsidiaries in Japan adopted the straight-line method of depreciation and made changes to the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment where necessary.

As a result of the change in depreciation method, segment profit on a consolidated basis for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 increased by ¥27,600 million for “Regional communications business,” ¥2,542 million for “Long distance and international communications business,” ¥33,382 million for “Mobile communications business,” ¥926 million for “Other,” decreased by ¥826 million for “Data communications business,” and increased by ¥63,624 million for “total.”

2. Treasury stock

On May 13, 2016, the board of directors resolved that NTT may acquire up to 68 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥350 billion from May 16, 2016 through March 31, 2017. Based on this resolution, NTT repurchased 59,038,100 shares of its common stock at ¥267,384 million on June 14, 2016 using the ToSTNeT-3, and concluded the repurchase of its common stock authorized by board of directors’ resolution.

(7) Subsequent Events

On April 28, 2016, the board of directors of NTT DOCOMO resolved that NTT DOCOMO may acquire up to 99,132,938 shares of its outstanding common stock for an amount in total not exceeding ¥192,514 million from May 2, 2016 through December 31, 2016. Based on this resolution, NTT DOCOMO repurchased 3,462,200 shares of its common stock at ¥9,865 million by way of market purchases based on the discretionary dealing contract in July 2016. As a result, NTT’s ownership interest in NTT DOCOMO further increased from 66.0% to 66.1%. NTT expects to recognize the difference between the consideration paid to the non-controlling interest holders and the decrease in the carrying value of such non-controlling interests resulting from this transaction as an adjustment to “Additional paid-in capital” in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016.

Notes:    (1)   Number of Telephone Subscriber Lines is the total of individual lines and central station lines (Subscriber Telephone Light Plan is included).
   (2)   “INS-Net” includes “INS-Net 64” and “INS-Net 1500.” 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, one “INS-Net 1500” subscription is calculated as ten “INS-Net 64” subscriptions (including subscriptions to the “INS-Net 64 Lite Plan”).
   (3)   Number of “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” subscribers includes subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, 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 and subscribers to the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (4)   The comparative results for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the year ended March 31, 2016 for “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” are as follows: the numbers of new subscribers for NTT East and NTT West were 460 thousand lines and 326 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 786 thousand lines; the numbers of new subscribers (excluding switchover lines) for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” for NTT East and NTT West were 313 thousand lines and 217 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 530 thousand lines; and the numbers of switchover lines for NTT East and NTT West were 474 thousand lines and 341 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 815 thousand lines.
   (5)   The comparative forecast “As of March 31, 2017” for the year ending March 31, 2017 compared to the results for the year ended March 31, 2016 for “FLET’S Hikari (including Hikari Collaboration Model)” are as follows: the numbers of new subscribers for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 1,450 thousand lines and 1,150 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,600 thousand lines; the numbers of new subscribers (excluding switchover lines) for the “Hikari Collaboration Model” for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 900 thousand lines and 650 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 1,550 thousand lines; and the numbers of switchover lines for NTT East and NTT West are expected to be 1,500 thousand lines and 1,000 thousand lines, respectively, for a total of 2,500 thousand lines.
   (6)   Numbers of subscribers for “Hikari Denwa” and “FLET’S TV Transmission Services” include wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (7)   “NTT Group Major ISPs” includes “WAKWAK” and “InfoSphere,” in addition to “OCN” and “Plala.”

4. Operating Data

Average Monthly Revenue per Unit (ARPU)

Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to each designated service on a per user basis. In the case of NTT Group’s fixed-line business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in the operating revenues of NTT Group’s regional communications business segment, that is, fixed-line (telephone subscriber lines and INS-NET) and FLET’S Hikari, by the number of active subscribers to the relevant services.

In the case of NTT Group’s mobile communications business, ARPU is calculated by dividing revenue items included in operating revenues from its mobile communications business segment, such as revenues from LTE(“Xi”) mobile phone services, FOMA mobile phone services and “docomo Hikari” services, that are incurred consistently each month, by the number of active users to the relevant services. The calculation of these figures excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage, such as telecommunications equipment sales, activation fees and universal service charges.

NTT believes that its ARPU figures calculated in this way provide useful information regarding the monthly average usage of its subscribers. The revenue items included in the numerators of NTT Group’s ARPU figures are based on its financial results comprising its U.S. GAAP results of operations.

Notes :    (1)      We compute the following two 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.
            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,
            “FLET’S Hikari” includes “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, and “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. In addition, “FLET’S Hikari” also includes the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
            “FLET’S Hikari” Optional Services includes wholesale services provided to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (2)    Revenues from interconnection charges are excluded from the calculation of Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines) and FLET’S Hikari ARPU.

Numbers of active subscribers used in the ARPU calculation of NTT East and NTT West are as below.

            Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month in the relevant quarter
            FY Results: Sum of number of active subscribers* for each month from April to March
            FY Forecast: Sum of the average expected active number of subscribers during the fiscal year ((number of subscribers at March 31, 2016 + number of expected subscribers at March 31, 2017)/2)x12
            *active subscribers = (number of subscribers at end of previous month + number of subscribers at end of the current month)/2
   (4)    For purposes of calculating Aggregate Fixed Line ARPU (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines), the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of subscriptions for fixed-line services (Telephone Subscriber Lines + INS-NET Subscriber Lines).
   (5)    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), one INS-Net 1500 subscription is calculated as ten INS- Net 64 subscriptions.
   (6)    For purposes of calculating FLET’S Hikari ARPU, the number of subscribers is determined based on the number of FLET’S Hikari subscribers, which includes subscribers to “B FLET’S,” “FLET’S Hikari Next,” “FLET’S Hikari Light,” “FLET’S Hikari Lightplus” and “FLET’S Hikari WiFi Access” provided by NTT East, 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, and the “Hikari Collaboration Model,” the wholesale provision of services to service providers by NTT East and NTT West.
   (7)    The following is the formula we use to compute ARPU for NTT DOCOMO.
            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: A part of Other Operating Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active users
   (8)    Numbers of active users used in the ARPU calculation of NTT DOCOMO are as below.
            Quarterly Results: Sum of number of active users* for each month in the relevant quarter
            FY Results/FY Forecast: Sum of number of active users*/expected number of active users* for each month from April to March
            *active users = (number of users at end of previous month + number of users at end of current month)/2
   (9)    The number of “users” used to calculate ARPU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:
      a.       Subscriptions to 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); and
      b.       Data Plan subscriptions which the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription for “Xi” services in his/her name.
      Note that 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 ARPU calculations.
