NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of presentation:

The accompanying quarterly consolidated financial statements of NTT DOCOMO, INC. and its subsidiaries (“DOCOMO”) were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain disclosures required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted. Since DOCOMO’s American Depositary Shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange in March 2002, DOCOMO has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the terminology, forms and preparation methods required in order to issue American Depositary Shares, which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America.

2. Summary of significant accounting and reporting policies:

(a) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

(b) Change in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results

Change in depreciation method

Previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, DOCOMO adopted the straight-line method of depreciation. Data traffic has recently grown due to increased use of smartphones. As a way of addressing the rising data traffic, DOCOMO provides LTE-Advanced services, using the carrier aggregation technology which enables higher speeds and capacities for the LTE services. With the introduction of the carrier aggregation technology, DOCOMO is able to use its frequencies more efficiently, bringing stability to DOCOMO’s operation of its wireless telecommunications equipment. As a result, DOCOMO believes that the straight-line depreciation method better reflects the pattern of consumption of the future benefits to be derived from those assets being depreciated. The effect of the change in the depreciation method is recognized prospectively as a change in the accounting estimate pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.”

The change in depreciation method caused a decrease in “Depreciation and amortization” by ¥33,381 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. “Net income attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” and “Basic and Diluted earnings per share attributable to NTT DOCOMO, INC.” increased by ¥22,833 million and ¥6.08, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

(c) Recently issued accounting standards

Revenue from Contracts with Customers —

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which requires an entity to recognize the amount to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.

Table of Contents

NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (Continued)

 

The FASB also issued ASU 2016-08 “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU2016-10 “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” ASU2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” in March, April and May 2016, respectively, to partially amend ASU 2014-09.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,” and deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Consequently, the standard is expected to take effect for DOCOMO on April 1, 2018. Early adoption of the standard as of April 1, 2017 would also be permitted.

DOCOMO has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the ASU will have on DOCOMO’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities —

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which significantly changes the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity, and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The new standard is effective for DOCOMO on April 1, 2018. DOCOMO is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.

Lease —

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Lease,” which requires all lessees to recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability, principally. The new standard is effective for DOCOMO on April 1, 2019. DOCOMO is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU.

3. Investments in affiliates:

Tata Teleservices Limited —

Tata Teleservices Limited (“TTSL”) is a telecommunication operator in India and a privately held company.

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, DOCOMO held approximately 26.5% of the outstanding common shares of TTSL.

Under the shareholders agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into among TTSL, Tata Sons Limited (“Tata Sons”) and DOCOMO, when DOCOMO entered into a business alliance with TTSL in March 2009, DOCOMO shall have certain shareholder rights including the right to require Tata Sons to find a suitable buyer for DOCOMO’s entire stake (1,248,974,378 shares, or approximately 26.5% of outstanding shares) in TTSL for 50% of the DOCOMO’s acquisition price, which amounts to 72.5 billion Indian rupees (or ¥110.9 billion*1) or at fair value, whichever is higher, in the event that TTSL fails to achieve certain specified performance targets by March 31, 2014. The right became exercisable on May 30, 2014, and DOCOMO exercised the right on July 7, 2014.

The obligation of Tata Sons under the Agreement was not fulfilled, although DOCOMO repeatedly held discussions with Tata Sons in regards to the sale of its entire stake in TTSL, pursuant to the Agreement. Accordingly, DOCOMO submitted its request for arbitration to the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) on January 3, 2015.

NTT DOCOMO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (Continued)

 

DOCOMO received a binding arbitration award from the LCIA on June 23, 2016. The award orders that Tata Sons pay damages to DOCOMO in the amount of approximately $1,172 million (or ¥120.6 billion*2) for Tata Sons’ breach of the shareholders agreement, upon DOCOMO’s tender of its entire stake in TTSL to Tata Sons or its designee. However, Tata Sons has not fulfilled its obligation in accordance with the binding arbitration award.

As Tata Sons has not fulfilled its obligation, DOCOMO has not accounted for the transaction. DOCOMO continued to account for the investment in TTSL under the equity method as DOCOMO continues to hold approximately 26.5% of the outstanding voting shares of TTSL and have the representation on the Board of Directors of TTSL, even after receiving the binding arbitration award from the LCIA. However, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, DOCOMO discontinued applying the equity method to account for the investment in TTSL as the carrying amount of the investment was reduced to zero due primarily to the cumulative losses incurred at TTSL. DOCOMO will resume application of the equity method when the DOCOMO’s share of unrecognized net income exceeds DOCOMO’s share of unrecognized net losses during the period the equity method has been suspended. The financial effect of the binding arbitration award cannot be estimated at this time due to the aforementioned uncertainties surrounding this investment. DOCOMO may recognize a gain or loss upon disposition of its TTSL shares or in the event that the transaction as described above will not be carried out.

4. Equity:

(a) Dividends

The Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”) provides that (i) dividends of earnings require approval at a general meeting of shareholders, (ii) interim cash dividends can be distributed upon the approval of the Board of Directors, if the articles of incorporation provide for such interim cash dividends and (iii) an amount equal to 10% of the decrease in retained earnings, as a result of a dividend payment, shall be contributed to a legal reserve that can be funded up to an amount equal to 25% of capital stock. The legal reserve is available for distribution upon approval of the shareholders.

In the general meeting of shareholders held on June 16, 2016, the shareholders approved cash dividends of ¥131,622 million or ¥35 per share, payable to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2016, which were declared by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2016. The source of such dividends was “Retained earnings.” NTT DOCOMO, INC. started paying the dividends on June 17, 2016.

(b) Issued shares and treasury stock

With regard to the acquisition of treasury stock, Companies Act provides that (i) it can be executed according to a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders, and (ii) the acquisition of treasury stock through open market transactions can be done according to a resolution of the Board of Directors, if the articles of incorporation contain such a provision. In accordance with (ii) above, a provision in NTT DOCOMO, INC.’s articles of incorporation stipulates that NTT DOCOMO, INC. may repurchase treasury stock through open market transactions, by a resolution of the Board of Directors, for the purpose of improving capital efficiency and implementing flexible capital policies in accordance with the business environment.

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

5. Segment information:

DOCOMO’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is its Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the performance and makes resource allocations of its segments based on the information provided by DOCOMO’s internal management reports.

DOCOMO has three operating segments, which consist of telecommunications business, smart life business and other businesses.

The telecommunications business includes mobile phone services (LTE(Xi) services and FOMA services), optical-fiber broadband service, satellite mobile communications services, international services and the equipment sales related to these services. The smart life business includes video and music distribution, electronic books and other services offered through DOCOMO’s “dmarket” portal, as well as finance/payment services, shopping services and various other services to support our customers’ daily lives. The other businesses primarily includes “Mobile Device Protection Service,” as well as development, sales and maintenance of IT systems.

Certain Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services for consumers that had been included in other businesses were reclassified to the smart life business from the second quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 to reflect the change in its internal organizational structure effective as of July 1, 2015.

In connection with this realignment, segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2015 has been restated to conform, to the presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Accounting policies used to determine segment operating revenues and operating income (loss) are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As indicated in “Note 2. (b) Changes in Accounting Procedures for Consolidated Quarterly Financial Results,” previously, DOCOMO principally used the declining-balance method for calculating depreciation of property, plant, and equipment. Effective April 1, 2016, DOCOMO adopted the straight-line method of depreciation. As a result, compared with the depreciation method used prior to April 1, 2016, operating income for the Telecommunications business segment, Smart life business segment, and Other businesses segment for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased by ¥33,350 million, ¥12 million and ¥19 million, respectively.

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

6. Contingencies:

(a) Litigation

DOCOMO is involved in litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. DOCOMO believes that none of the litigation or claims outstanding, pending or threatened against DOCOMO would have a materially adverse effect on DOCOMO’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

(b) Guarantees

DOCOMO enters into agreements in the normal course of business that provide guarantees for counterparties. These counterparties include subscribers, related parties, foreign wireless telecommunications service providers and other business partners.

DOCOMO provides subscribers with guarantees for product defects of cellular phone handsets sold by DOCOMO, but DOCOMO is provided with similar guarantees by the handset vendors and no liabilities were recognized for these guarantees.

Though the guarantees or indemnifications provided in transactions other than those with the subscribers are different in each contract, the likelihood of almost all of the performance of these guarantees or indemnifications are remote and amount of payments DOCOMO could be claimed for is not specified in almost all of the contracts. Historically, DOCOMO has not made any significant guarantee or indemnification payments under such agreements. DOCOMO estimates the fair value of the obligations related to these agreements is not significant. Accordingly, no liabilities were recognized for these obligations.

7. Fair value measurements:

Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value according to observability. The inputs are described as follows:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability

Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

DOCOMO also distinguishes assets and liabilities measured at fair value every period on a recurring basis from those measured on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances.

(a) Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include available-for-sale securities and derivatives.

DOCOMO’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Receivables held for sale are classified as Level 2. DOCOMO measures the fair value of the receivables held for sale by discounting, at LIBOR-based discount rates, estimated future cash flows while taking into account factors such as default probabilities and loss severity of similar trade receivables.
