Comments from the CEO Kaoru Kato (Results for the FY2012 (ended Mar. 31,2013) announced on April 26, 2013)

With regard to the financial results for the FY2012 (ended Mar. 31,2013), operating revenues reached 4,470.1 billion yen, representing a year-on-year increase of 230.1 billion yen. Although operating income declined, it came in 17.2 billion yen over target at 837.2 billion yen. In addition, net income reached 495.6 billion yen, representing a year-on-year increase of 31.7 billion yen.

In FY2012, we were engaged in the development of the "docomo cloud" service, expanded the Xi service area, increased sales of smartphones by 50.7% year-on-year to 13.29 million units, and increased the number of Xi subscriptions by approximately five times the number for the previous year to 11.57 million subscriptions. As a result of these efforts, we were able to expand our smartphone user base to 18.7 million users. This is approximately twice the number as of the end of the previous fiscal year. Also, as a result of focusing on the spread of the "dmarket", centered on "dvideo", "dmarket" revenues expanded to 23 billion yen, approximately 11.5 times the figure for the previous fiscal year.

In FY2013, in our mobile phone business, we intend to provide the "Most advanced Devices that are Easy to Understand and Easy to Choose," a "Outstanding Connectivity, Usability and High Quality LTE Network" and "Affordable, Worry-free and Convenient Services," and will endeavor to further expand smartphone and Xi services. In addition, in terms of new business fields, we aim to develop leading-edge services using "docomo cloud" and to grow our revenue base by promoting collaboration with external partners. Besides our determined efforts in these areas, we will strive to restructure the entire company to strengthen our managerial foundation, targeting an operating income of 840 billion yen. Note that we plan an annual dividend of 6,000 yen per share for FY2013 under our policy "continuation of stable dividends" (The amount of expected dividend per share for FY2013 presented herein does not reflect any adjustments for the 1-for-100 stock split planned to take effect on Oct. 1, 2013.)

DOCOMO, as a "Partner for a Smart Life" will continue to promote business development and sustained growth so that we can contribute to a secure, safe and convenient lifestyle for each and every one of our customers. We ask for the continued goodwill and support of our shareholders and investors.
