On December 11, 2017, the Board of Directors of NTT DOCOMO resolved that NTT DOCOMO may acquire up to 93,248,787 shares of its outstanding common stock by way of tender offer at an amount in total not exceeding ¥250,000 million from December 12, 2017 through January 15, 2018.

NTT DOCOMO did not make repurchase by way of repurchases on the market in January 2018.

The number of shares remaining after subtracting the number of shares acquired by way of tender offer from the maximum limit of 120 million shares and the amount remaining after subtracting the total amount used to repurchase the shares acquired by way of tender offer from the maximum limit of ¥300,000 million.

Notes :	(1)	Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2017, the method for calculating EBITDA has been revised to add Loss on Sales of Property, Plant and Equipment and Impairment Losses. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, as calculated using the previous method including only Operating Income and Depreciation and Amortization, and Loss on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment, would have been 695.3 billion yen and 22.7%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2,359.3 billion yen and 27.0%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2017. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin figures presented in the table above have been retroactively recalculated using the new calculation method.

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 (3G) 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.
