The Group's financial results for the nine months up to December last year announced by NTT on the 5th are 1,502.3 billion yen, an increase of 3.6% from the same period of the previous year, which indicates the profit of the main business.
The final profit was 831.1 billion yen, which is 4.3% higher.
It was a record high for nine months.
Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, teleworking has spread and the number of contracts for the communication business using optical lines has increased, and business performance has improved.
Another major reason is that profits increased as a result of making DoCoMo a wholly owned subsidiary in December last year in order to strengthen group management.
On the other hand, the one-year earnings forecast up to next month has not changed because overseas sales have fallen due to the impact of the new coronavirus, and the forecast for final profit of 860 billion yen has been left unchanged.
At an online press conference, NTT President Jun Sawada said, "It is necessary to pay close attention to the economic activities of the new coronavirus around the world, but we would like to work to exceed the annual plan."
