Definition and Calculation Methods

of ARPU

i. Definition of ARPU

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 of 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.

ii. ARPU Calculation Methods

Aggregate ARPU = Mobile ARPU + "docomo Hikari" ARPU

‐ Mobile ARPU

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

    • "docomo Hikari" ARPU : "docomo Hikari"‐Related Revenues (basic monthly charges, voice communication charges) / Number of active users *ARPU excluding the impact of discounts are calculated without including the amounts of discounts applied in the relevant revenues.
  1. Active Users Calculation Method

Sum of Number of active users for each month ((Number of users at the end of previous month + Number of users at the end of current month) / 2) during the relevant period

iv.

  1. The number of "users" used to calculate ARPU is the total number of subscriptions, excluding the subscriptions listed below:
    1. Subscriptions of communication modules 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
    2. Data Plan subscriptions in the case where the customer contracting for such subscription in his/her name also has a subscription for "5G," "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) , and impact on revenues from "d POINT" program, etc.,are not included in the ARPU calculation.
