FY2022.3Q Financial Results : Key Points

Operating income continued to decrease year-over-year due to the impact of rising electricity rates and other factors. We are aiming to achieve the fiscal year plan through increases in income in the Integrated ICT Business Segment and the Global Solutions Business Segment, in addition to cost reductions across the entire NTT Group as a whole.

In the enterprise business, there has been a steady increase in revenues from integrated solutions, such as solutions for large businesses and cloud infrastructure. In the smart life business, there has also been an increase in revenues from finance/payment and marketing solutions. In the consumer communications business, as a result of an increase in medium- and large-volume plans, mobile ARPU has improved and MNP (mobile number portability) has also continued to be positive, despite the impact of price reductions and rising electricity rates. We will continue our initiatives to expand our enterprise and smart life businesses and to fully achieve our ARPU potential, and continue to work to achieve the fiscal year plan.

With respect to the integration of our global businesses, we have started initiatives such as improving our sales collaboration, and our progress on achieving the results of synergies is proceeding according to plan. Our overseas operating income margin increased by 1.0 pt year-over-year to 6.4% as a result of increases in revenues from expanding the scale of our SI business in Europe and elsewhere and the expansion of our data center business, as well as the effect of cost reductions from structural reforms, among other factors.
