<< Comment by Masao Nakamura, President and CEO >>

In the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we worked continuously to enhance our network quality, released the latest “FOMA 903i” series handsets and implemented various other measures in all-out efforts to reinforce our competitiveness. As a consequence, the number of FOMA subscribers exceeded 32 million as of December 31, 2006, and our cellular churn rate for the third quarter increased slightly to 0.93%, due to subscribers’ relatively calm response to the Mobile Number Portability following its launch on October 24, 2006. Operating revenues and operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were 3,597.0 billion yen (up 14.8 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year) and 676.9 billion yen (down 16.6 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively.

In the coming spring, we plan to add more models to our handset lineup through the release of the new “FOMA 703i” series handsets, which will include the world’s slimmest W-CDMA handset in a clamshell form. We will also continue our endeavors to improve FOMA’s network quality and broaden the coverage of HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access), and strive to develop and invigorate the video/music content market. In March 2007, we are planning to expand our flat-rate billing package for packet data communications, to allow users to access PC-configured web sites and video contents using a full-scale browser for a fixed monthly rate. Meanwhile, we have steadily solidified the foundation of our credit business by increasing the user count of “DCMX” mobile credit payment services to 1.39 million and the number of installed “iD” payment terminals to 100 thousand. The uptake of “Osaifu-Keitai”* services is also growing at a favorable pace, with the user base of compatible handsets expected to reach 20 million by the end of March 2007. Leveraging these services, we will pursue our goal to transform mobile phones into “lifestyle infrastructure”.

While the business climate surrounding us is expected to become increasingly harsh, we will devote ourselves to serving our customers and striving to improve every aspect of our service offerings with the aim to build up our competitiveness and strengthen our business foundation thereby.

 

* “Osaifu-Keitai” refers to mobile phones equipped with a contactless IC card, as well as the useful function and services enabled by the IC card. With this function, a mobile phone can be utilized as electronic money, a credit card, an electronic ticket, a membership card and an airline ticket, among other things.

1. Business Overview

 

  (1) Operating revenues totaled 3,597.0 billion yen (up 0.4% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

    Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues increased to 3,157.6 billion yen (up 0.9% compared to the same period of the prior year). Despite some negative effects from our strategic billing arrangements introduced in the past, these revenues grew due to the acquisition of new subscribers and lowering of our churn rate through our customer-oriented operations.

 

    Voice revenues from FOMA services increased to 1,308.3 billion yen (up 59.7% compared to the same period of the prior year) and packet communications revenues from FOMA services increased to 697.5 billion yen (up 65.2% compared to the same period of the prior year) owing to a significant increase in the number of FOMA services subscribers to 32.11 million (up 59.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). The increase in the number of FOMA subscribers resulted from factors such as the improvements in network quality and the release of new handsets, including the “FOMA 903i/702iS” series.

 

    Equipment sales revenues decreased to 348.3 billion yen (down 1.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). While the number of handsets sold increased due to steady migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the amount accounted for as sales revenue per handset decreased.

Notes:

 

  (i) Cellular (FOMA+mova) services revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 reflected the impact of recognizing as revenues the portion of “Nikagetsu Kurikoshi” (2-months carry over) allowances that are projected to expire.

 

  (ii) Voice revenues include data communications revenues through circuit switching system.

 

  (2) Operating expenses were 2,920.1 billion yen (up 1.1% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

    Personnel expenses were 188.8 billion yen (up 1.1% compared to the same period of the prior year). The number of employees as of December 31, 2006 was 22,356.

 

    Non-personnel expenses increased to 1,860.4 billion (up 1.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). This increase resulted mainly from an increase in cost of equipment sold due to proportional growth in sales of FOMA handsets to the aggregate number of handsets sold.

 

    Depreciation and amortization increased by 0.9% to 537.4 billion yen compared to the same period of the prior year due to an increase in capital expenditures for expansion and quality improvement of FOMA network.

  (3) Operating income decreased to 676.9 billion yen (down 2.4% compared to the same period of the prior year). In addition, due principally to the effect of gains we recognized on the sales of Hutchison 3G UK Holdings Limited shares (62.0 billion yen) and KPN Mobile N.V. shares (40.0 billion yen) during the same period of the prior year, income before income taxes decreased to 680.7 billion yen (down 16.1% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

  (4) Net income was 403.7 billion yen (down 21.8% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

2. Segment Information

 

  (1) Mobile phone business

Operating revenues were 3,547.9 billion yen and operating income was 694.9 billion yen.

 

  The aggregate number of cellular (FOMA+mova) services subscribers increased to 52.21 million as of December 31, 2006 (up 2.1% compared to the same period of the prior year).

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU, and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA+mova) services for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were 4,780 yen (down 6.5% compared to the same period of the prior year), 1,980 yen (up 6.5% compared to the same period of the prior year), and 6,760 yen (down 3.0% compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively.

    Cellular (FOMA) services

 

  Reinforcement of network coverage and launch of HSDPA services

In order to enhance the network coverage and quality of radio reception, we completed FOMA network coverage nationwide for stations of Japan Railways Group, educational institutes, and public service areas for automobiles. We added base stations on high buildings and in underground shopping areas. We also reflected voices of our customers collected in the opinion survey on our web site in our network planning.

In August 2006, we launched HSDPA services, which provide packet download speed of up to 3.6Mbps, first in Metropolitan Tokyo areas, and expanded the services to other major cities in Japan by the end of October 2006.

  Enriched variety of handset lineup

In order to meet various customer needs, we released a total of 32 models during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

 

    As for our high-end models, we released “FOMA 903i” series, which feature enhanced music functions and extended memory capacity for further vivid visuals in rich applications (“Mega i-appli”) such as games or GPS navigation. We released “FOMA 702is” series as standard models, which feature unique designs. We also released simple and compact handsets called “SIMPURE” series for customers who prefer simple usability.

 

    We released two products compatible with HSDPA services, “FOMA N902iX HIGH-SPEED” and “FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED”, the latter of which is a PC card type terminal dedicated to data communication.

 

  Providing various services and enhanced functions

 

    As our music services, we launched “Chaku-Uta full”, which enables users to download complete music tracks, and “Music Channel”, which provides longer and high-quality music programs. We also released several handsets compatible with “Napster To Go”, which is provided by Napster Japan, Inc. to enable users to download an unlimited number of music tracks to a PC for a flat rate and to transfer the tracks to a compatible music player or cellular handset.

 

    For customers’ security purposes, we launched “Keitai-Osagashi Service” which enables our customers to locate misplaced handsets using GPS technology by accessing the “My DoCoMo” portal for PCs. We also equipped a certain handset model with a function called “ANSHIN-KEY Lock” which automatically locks/unlocks the handset depending on the proximity of “ANSHIN-KEY”, a special IC-card key, to the handset.

 

  Corporate marketing

 

    We actively marketed mobile system solutions featuring two of our new PDA-type handsets: “hTc Z” handset, which is supplied by High Tech Computer Corporation in Taiwan, and “BlackBerry 8707h”, which is supplied by Research In Motion Limited in Canada.

 

  Voice ARPU, packet ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (FOMA) services for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were 5,200 yen (down 11.1% compared to the same period of the prior year), 2,800 yen (down 8.2% compared to the same period of the prior year) and 8,000 yen (down 10.1% compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively.

 

    Cellular (mova) services

 

  Due to the continuous migration of subscribers from mova services to FOMA services, the proportion of mova services subscribers to the aggregated cellular (FOMA+mova) subscribers as of December 31, 2006 decreased to 38.5%.

 

  Voice ARPU, i-mode ARPU and aggregate ARPU of cellular (mova) services for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were 4,280 yen (down 10.3% compared to the same period of the prior year), 1,020 yen (down 22.7% compared to the same period of the prior year) and 5,300 yen (down 13.0% compared to the same period of the prior year), respectively.

 

    i-mode services

 

  Usage promotion

 

    In order to improve convenience of “i-mode”, we launched a keyword search service. By inputting a keyword into the search box on the top page of Japanese iMenu portal, users can search official i-mode sites, as well as non-official i-mode sites through a search engine (13 search engines were available as of December 31, 2006).

 

    Rakuten Auction, Inc., a joint venture company established by Rakuten, Inc. and DoCoMo, launched “Rakuten Auction” service which features “anonymous escrow”, which does not require sellers or winning bidders to reveal private information to one another.

 

    In order to increase usage volume among a wide range of subscribers, we continued to promote our “i-channel”, push-type information casting service, by setting our handsets “i-channel” compatible as a default function. The number of “i-channel” service subscribers as of December 31, 2006 increased to 8.12 million.

 

  Global development

 

    In December 2006, we reached an agreement with Hutchison Essar, Ltd., one of India’s leading mobile operators, pursuant to which Hutchison Essar will introduce i-mode services in India. (The agreement is subject to governmental approval to be effective.)

 

    The i-mode services were rolled out in 16 countries and areas including Japan as of December 31, 2006, and the aggregate number of cellular service subscribers of all the operators which participate in the i-mode services alliance reached 270 million.

    International services

 

  Addition of handsets compatible with international roaming-out service
    We increased the variety of handsets compatible with “WORLD WING”, international roaming-out services, when we added five handsets such as “SIMPURE L1” and “FOMA M702iG”, which are compatible with both 3G and GSM network overseas. We also released nine handsets including “FOMA 903i” series which are “WORLD WING” compatible and available for 3G network overseas.

 

  Expansion of the service area
    We steadily expanded the service area of international roaming-out services for voice calls and SMS to 150 countries and areas; for packet communications to 93 countries; and for videophone calls to 32 countries and areas, each as of December 31, 2006.

 

  Development of alliance among mobile operators in Asia
    In April 2006, we formed a strategic alliance with six Asian mobile operators, including Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. in Taiwan, to cooperate in international roaming and development of mobile services for corporate accounts. In December 2006, we officially named the alliance “Conexus Mobile Alliance”, and added Smart Communications, Inc., the Philippines’ leading mobile operator, to the alliance. The members of the largest alliance in the Asian region, which expanded its coverage to over 130 million mobile subscribers, started working in collaboration to enhance their competitiveness in their own countries/regions by offering services such as roaming via HSDPA, in addition to conventional roaming via GSM/GPRS and/or W-CDMA networks.

 

 

Note:

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 various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active subscribers to the relevant services. Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such as activation fees. We believe that our ARPU figures provide useful information to analyze the average usage of our subscribers 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. This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter. See page 17 for the details of the calculation methods.

3. Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures were 679.3 billion yen.

 

    For reinforcement of our competitiveness prior to the introduction of the Mobile Number Portability, we built base stations at a record-high pace, expanded the coverage areas of FOMA services, improved network quality, and reinforced our FOMA network to meet the increase in traffic demand. We also continued our efforts to make capital expenditures more efficient and less costly by saving on equipment purchase costs and improving our design and construction processes. Total capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 increased by 11.6% compared to the same period of the prior year.

4. Cash Flow Conditions

 

    Net cash provided by operating activities was 582.0 billion yen (down 44.3% compared to the same period of the prior year). The combination of an increase in income tax payment and a decrease in refund of income taxes resulted in an increase in cash payment by 269.2 billion yen (we paid 89.4 billion yen for income taxes, net of a refund of income taxes, in the same period of the prior year, when deferred tax assets from the impairment of our investment in AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. were realized). The effect of a bank holiday at the end of December, which deferred our cash reception including cellular revenues to the following month, was 217.0 billion yen.

 

    Net cash used in investing activities was 717.8 billion yen (down 9.6% compared to the same period of the prior year). An increase in acquisitions of tangible and intangible assets was more than offset by a decrease in acquisitions of long-term investments.

 

    Net cash used in financing activities, including repurchase of our own stock, dividend payment, repayment of outstanding long-term debt, was 462.1 billion yen (up 4.5% compared to the same period of the prior year). A decrease in payment for repurchase of our own stock was more than offset by an increase in repayment of outstanding long-term debt and dividend payment. We spent 140.0 billion yen during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to repurchase our own stock in the market.

 

    Free cash flows were negative 135.7 billion yen. Free cash flows excluding irregular factors and changes in investments for cash management purposes were 31.9 billion yen.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “DoCoMo”) has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The followings are explanations regarding the adoption of new accounting standards in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and the summary of revenue recognition.

 

1. Adoption of new accounting standards

Inventory Pricing

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs -an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 previously stated that such costs might be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets -an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 29” issued by the FASB. The amendment eliminates the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

Effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo adopted SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections -a replacement of APB Opinion No.20 and the FASB statement No.3” issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 (“APB No. 20”), “Accounting Changes”, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have any impact on DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position. DoCoMo will continue to apply the requirements of SFAS No. 154 to any future accounting changes and error corrections.

2. Summary of Revenue recognition

Base monthly service charges and airtime charges are recognized as revenues as service is provided to subscribers. DoCoMo’s monthly billing plans for cellular (FOMA and mova) services generally include a certain amount of allowances (free minutes and/or packets), and the used amount of the allowances is subtracted from total usage in calculating the airtime revenue from a subscriber for the month. Prior to November 2003, the total amount of the base monthly charges was recognized as revenues in the month they were charged as subscribers could not carry over the unused allowances to the following months. In November 2003, DoCoMo introduced a billing arrangement, called “Nikagetsu Kurikoshi” (two-month carry over), in which the unused allowances are automatically carried over for up to the following two months. In addition, DoCoMo introduced an arrangement which enables the unused allowances offered in and after December 2004 that have been carried over for two months to be automatically used to cover the airtime and/or packet fees exceeding the allowances of other lines in the “Family Discount” group, a discount billing arrangement for families with between two and ten DoCoMo subscriptions. Until the year ended March 31, 2006, DoCoMo had deferred revenues based on the portion of all unused allowances at the end of the period. The deferred revenues had been recognized as revenues as subscribers make calls or utilize data connections, similar to the way airtime revenues are recognized, or as the allowance expires. As DoCoMo developed sufficient empirical evidence to reasonably estimate the portion of allowances that will be forfeited as unused, effective April 1, 2006, DoCoMo started to recognize the revenue attributable to such forfeited allowances ratably as the remaining allowances are utilized, in addition to the revenue recognized when subscribers make calls or utilize data connections. The effect of this accounting change was not material for DoCoMo’s results of operations and financial position.

Certain commissions paid to purchasers (primarily agent resellers) are recognized as a reduction of revenue upon delivery of the equipment to the purchasers (primarily agent resellers) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).”

Non-recurring upfront fees such as activation fees are deferred and recognized as revenues over the estimated average period of the customer relationship for each service. The related direct costs are deferred only to the extent of the upfront fee amount and are amortized over the same period.

ARPU Calculation Methods

1. ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)*1

 

  i) ARPU (FOMA + mova)

Aggregate ARPU (FOMA+mova)=Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) + Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova)

Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) : Voice ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

Packet ARPU (FOMA+mova) : {Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)+ i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges)}/ No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA+mova)

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA+mova)

 

  ii) ARPU (FOMA)

Aggregate ARPU (FOMA)=Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)

Voice ARPU (FOMA) : Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

Packet ARPU (FOMA) : Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

i-mode ARPU*2 (FOMA) : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA)

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA) *3 : i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA)

 

  iii) ARPU (mova)

Aggregate ARPU (mova)=Voice ARPU (mova) + i-mode ARPU (mova)

Voice ARPU (mova) : Voice ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

i-mode ARPU (mova) *2 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active cellular phone subscribers (mova)

ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova) *3 : i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / No. of active i-mode subscribers (mova)

 

  iv) ARPU (PHS)

ARPU (PHS) : ARPU (PHS) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / No. of active PHS subscribers

2. Active Subscribers Calculation Methods

No. of active subscribers used in ARPU/MOU/Churn Rate calculations are sum of No. of active subscribers*4 for each month.

 

  *1 Communication Module service subscribers and the revenues thereof are not included in the ARPU and MOU calculations.

 

  *2 The denominator used in calculating i-mode ARPU (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is the aggregate number of cellular subscribers to each service (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova, respectively), regardless of whether i-mode service is activated or not.

 

  *3 ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA+mova, FOMA, mova) is calculated using only the number of active i-mode subscribers as a denominator.

 

  *4 active subscribers = (No. of subscribers at the end of previous month + No. of subscribers at the end of current month) / 2

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Earnings Release contains forward-looking statements such as forecasts of results of operations, management strategies, objectives and plans, forecasts of operational data such as expected number of subscribers, and 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 are 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:

 

    As competition in the market is expected to become more fierce due to changes in the business environment caused by the introduction of Mobile Number Portability and new market entrants, competition from other cellular service providers or other technologies could limit our acquisition of new subscribers, retention of existing subscribers and average revenue per unit (ARPU), or may lead to an increase in our costs and expenses.

 

    The new services and usage patterns introduced by our corporate group may not develop as planned, which could limit our growth.

 

    The introduction or change of various laws or regulations or the application of such laws and regulations to our corporate group may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    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.

 

    The W-CDMA technology that we use for our 3G system and/or mobile multimedia services may not be introduced by other overseas operators, which could limit our ability to offer international services to our subscribers.

 

    Our domestic and international investments, alliances and collaborations may not produce the returns or provide the opportunities we expect.

 

    As electronic payment capability and many other new features are built into our cellular phones, and services of parties other than those belonging to our corporate group are provided through our cellular handsets, potential problems resulting from malfunctions, defects or loss of handsets, or imperfection of services provided by such other parties may arise, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Social problems that could be caused by misuse or misunderstanding of our products and services may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Inadequate handling of subscriber information by our corporate group or contractors may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Owners of intellectual property rights that are essential for our business execution may not grant us the right to license or otherwise use such intellectual property rights on acceptable terms or at all, which may limit our ability to offer certain technologies, products and/or services, and we may also be held liable for damage compensation if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

 

    Earthquakes, power shortages, malfunctioning of equipment, and software bugs, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, unauthorized access and other problems could cause systems failures in the networks required for the provision of service, disrupting our ability to offer services to our subscribers and may adversely affect our credibility or corporate image.

 

    Concerns about wireless telecommunications health risks may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Our parent company, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), could exercise influence that may not be in the interests of our other shareholders.

Definition and Calculation Methods of MOU and ARPU
MOU (Minutes of usage) : Average communication time per one month per one user.
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 various revenue items included in operating revenues from our wireless services, such as monthly charges, voice
transmission charges and packet transmission charges, from designated services which are incurred consistently each month, by number of active
subscribers to the relevant services.  Accordingly, the calculation of ARPU excludes revenues that are not representative of monthly average usage such
as
activation
fees.
We
believe
that
our
ARPU
figures
provide
useful
information
to
analyze
the
average
usage
of
our
subscribers
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.
This definition applies to all ARPU figures hereinafter.

Number of active subscribers used in ARPU and MOU calculations are as follows:
Quarterly data: sum of “No. of active subscribers in each month”*
of the current quarter
Half-year data: sum of “No. of active subscribers in each month”*
of the current half
Full-year data: sum of “No. of active subscribers in each month”*
of the current fiscal year
*
“No. of active subscribers in each month”: (No. of subs at end of previous month + No. of subs at end of current month)/2
The revenues and number of subscribers of Communication Module Service are not included in the above calculation of ARPU and
MOU.
