i. Definition of ARPU and MOU a. ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit): Average monthly revenue per unit, or ARPU, is used to measure average monthly operating revenues attributable to designated services on a per user basis. ARPU is calculated by dividing telecommunications services revenues (excluding certain revenues) by the number of active users to our wireless services in the relevant periods, as shown below under “ARPU Calculation Method.” We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage per user and the impacts of changes in our billing arrangements. The revenue items included in the numerators of our ARPU figures are based on our U.S. GAAP results of operations.

  • b. MOU (Minutes of Use):

Average monthly communication time per user. ii. ARPU Calculation Methods Aggregate ARPU = Voice ARPU + Packet ARPU + “docomo Hikari” ARPU

  • Voice ARPU

: Voice ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active users

  • Packet ARPU

: Packet ARPU Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, packet communication charges) / No. of active users

  • “docomo Hikari” ARPU

: A part of other operating revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / No. of active users

  • In addition, the sum of Packet ARPU and “docomo Hikari” ARPU is referred to as Data ARPU.

iii. Active Users Calculation Method Sum of No. of active users for each month ((No. of users at the end of previous month + No. of users at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period Notes:

  • 1. The number of “users” used to calculate ARPU and MOU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:
  • a. Subscriptions of communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business

Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); and

  • b. Data Plan subscriptions in the case where the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription

for “Xi” or “FOMA” services in his/her name. 2.Revenues from communication module services, “Phone Number Storage,” “Mail Address Storage,” “docomo Business Transceiver” and wholesale telecommunications services and interconnecting telecommunications facilities that are provided to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not included in the ARPU calculation.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This earning release contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of

  • perational data such as the expected number of subscriptions, and the expected dividend payments. All forward-looking statements that are not historical facts

are based on management’s current plans, expectations, assumptions and estimates based on the information currently available. Some of the projected numbers in this report were derived using certain assumptions that were indispensable for making such projections in addition to historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following: (1) Changes in the market environment in the telecommunications industry, such as intensifying competition from other businesses or other technologies caused by Mobile Number Portability, development of appealing new handsets, new market entrants, mergers among other service providers and other factors, or the expansion of the areas of competition could limit the acquisition of new subscriptions and retention of existing subscriptions by our corporate group, or it may lead to ARPU diminishing at a greater than expected rate, an increase in our costs, or an inability to optimize costs as expected. (2) If current and new services, usage patterns, and sales schemes proposed and introduced by our corporate group cannot be developed as planned, or if unanticipated expenses arise the financial condition of our corporate group could be affected and our growth could be limited. (3) The introduction or change of various laws or regulations inside and outside of Japan, or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group, could restrict our business operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. (4) Limitations in the amount of frequency spectrum or facilities made available to us could negatively affect our ability to maintain and improve our service quality and level of customer satisfaction and could increase our costs. (5) Other mobile service providers in the world may not adopt the technologies and the frequency bands that are compatible with those used by our corporate group’s mobile communications system on a continuing basis, which could affect our ability to sufficiently offer international services. (6) Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations, as well as investments in new business fields, may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect. (7) Malfunctions, defects or imperfections in our products and services or those of other parties may give rise to problems.

In addition, the illicit use by a third party of the intellectual property rights owned by our corporate group could reduce our license revenues actually obtained and may inhibit our competitive superiority. (11)Events and incidents caused by natural disasters, social infrastructure paralysis such as power shortages, the proliferation of harmful substances, terror or

  • ther destructive acts, the malfunctioning of equipment, software bugs, deliberate incidents induced by computer viruses, cyber-attacks, equipment

misconfiguration, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause failure in our networks, distribution channels, and/or other factors necessary for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers and such incidents may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image,

  • r lead to a reduction of revenues and/or increase of costs.
