ARPU (Average monthly Revenue Per Unit)
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) / Number 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) } / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA + mova) - i-mode ARPU (FOMA + mova)
1 :
i-mode ARPU (FOMA + mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA + mova) - ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA + mova)
2:
i-mode ARPU (FOMA + mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / Number of active i-mode subscribers (FOMA + mova)
- Voice ARPU (FOMA + mova) :
Aggregate ARPU (FOMA) :
Voice ARPU (FOMA) + Packet ARPU (FOMA)- Voice ARPU (FOMA) :
Voice ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA) - Packet ARPU (FOMA) :
Packet ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA) - i-mode ARPU (FOMA)
1 :
i-mode ARPU (FOMA) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (FOMA) - ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA)
2 :

1 :
i-mode ARPU (mova) Related Revenues (monthly charges, packet transmission charges) / Number of active cellular phone subscribers (mova) - ARPU generated purely from i-mode (mova)
2 :

- Voice ARPU (mova) :
- ARPU (PHS) :
ARPU (PHS) Related Revenues (monthly charges, voice transmission charges) / Number of active PHS subscribers
1 The numerator for i-mode ARPU (FOMA + mova, FOMA, mova) is the number of all subscribers who have active cellular phones, regardless of whether the i-mode service is activated.
2 The numerator for ARPU generated purely from i-mode (FOMA + mova, FOMA, mova) is the number of active i-mode subscribers only.
Active subscribers calculation methods
Number of active subscribers used in ARPU / MOU / Churn Rate calculations are as follows:
- 1Q Results :
Sum of Number of subscribers
for each month from April to June - FY Results :
Sum of Number of subscribers
for each month from April to March
subscribers = (Number of subscribers at the end of previous month + Number of subscriber at the end of current month) / 2
Calculation methods for Number of active subscribers used in ARPU
1, MOU
2 and Churn Rate
3 were changed to make the subscriber figures more precise.In accordance with this change, 1Q results of 2003 (described in Appendix 1) are retroactively restated based on the new calculation method above.
- [Previous calculation method]
1Q Results : {(Number of subscribers at the end of March + Number of subscribers at the end of June) / 2} x 3 months
