This was mainly due to lower unit prices for data communication connection fees paid to mobile network operators. Voice wholesale fees paid to mobile network operators increased because they have not changed from the previous wholesale fees at this time. NTT DOCOMO and the Company are scheduled to agree on the new voice wholesale fees by 29 December of the current year, with retroactive application from 30 June. Accordingly, the cost ratio is expected to improve from the third quarter of the current fiscal year as the new voice wholesale fees are recorded.

This was mainly because connection fees paid to mobile network operators changed from an actual-cost-based method to a future-cost-based method. Operating loss was ¥195 million (¥180 million), ordinary loss was ¥197 million (¥184 million), and net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥227 million (¥216 million), reflecting the recording of a ¥28 million settlement payment by the U.S. subsidiary as an extraordinary loss in addition to the ordinary loss.」

Quarterly net sales had continued to increase every quarter since the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 2018, but second-quarter sales were almost flat compared with the first quarter.

Consequently, net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥2,185 million (¥1,362 million in the same period of the previous year).」
