      In the information and telecommunications market and its related markets, the spread of generative AI is driving the advancement of services and solutions, and demand for the networks and data centers that support them is also growing. In addition, the digital shift in social and economic activities is further advancing DX, which improves the convenience of daily life and business productivity. Furthermore, technologies such as digital twin and quantum computing are advancing rapidly, and efforts to move from demonstration phase to social implementation are expanding. Meanwhile, responses to the increase in data distribution and power consumption, as well as preparedness against cyberattacks, special fraud, and disasters are required, making the role of the information and communications business increasingly important.

      In this business environment, the NTT Group is transforming from a business structure centered on telecommunications services to a diversified business structure focused on expanding the digital domain, data centers, and AI centered on strengthening global operations, and including the expansion and advancement of the financial business starting with payments and banking. In light of these efforts, in May 2025 we established “NTT Group’s Core & Values,” and in July 2025 we changed our corporate name from Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation to NTT, Inc. while renewing our corporate identity (CI).

      We also reorganized our group formation and completed the conversion of NTT DATA Group into a wholly owned subsidiary in September 2025. This has enabled faster decision-making in the corporate and global domains and established a unified Group-wide structure to promote investment in growth areas such as data centers and AI.

      As a result, consolidated operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 were 14,409.1 billion yen (an increase of 5.1% from the previous fiscal year), consolidated operating profit was 1,706.2 billion yen (an increase of 3.4% from the previous fiscal year), and consolidated profit attributable to NTT was 1,037.0 billion yen (an increase of 3.7% from the previous fiscal year).

             *1 For Scope 1 & 2, FY2013 has been set as the reference year in line with the Japanese government’s global warming countermeasures plan.

             *2 For Scope 1, 2, & 3, FY2018 has been set as the reference year, in line with the start of calculations using the current scope of aggregation, which includes overseas Group companies.

             《Introduction of Stock-Granting System for Group Employees》

           • In November 2025, the Company introduced a stock-granting system for Group employees for managerial employees who meet certain requirements of the NTT Group. By increasing target employees’ awareness of their participation in management and further enhancing their motivation and engagement to contribute to improving business performance, the Company aims to enhance its medium- to long-term corporate value.

             《Strengthening Response to Large-Scale Disasters, etc.》

           • In October 2025, eight companies consisting of the Company, NTT EAST, NTT WEST, NTT DOCOMO, NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS, KDDI Corporation, SoftBank Corp. and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. began the implementation of area allocation for evacuation shelter support and the standardization of an information dissemination system in the event of a large-scale disaster. In the past, support locations were duplicated, which caused regional disparities, so going forward, we aim to deliver communication services and other support promptly to all areas affected by disasters. At the same time, in order to provide information that is easier to understand, we have standardized evacuation shelter support information from each telecommunications carrier and display it in a common format.

           • In March 2026, five companies – NTT DOCOMO, KDDI Corporation, Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company, SoftBank Corp., and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. – announced that they would launch JAPAN RoamingTM* on April 1, 2026, with the aim of providing alternative means of communication in emergencies.

             *A service that enables customers to temporarily connect to another carrier’s network (4G LTE) as an alternative means and use part of the communication services, even if the contracted carrier’s communication service becomes unavailable due to a large-scale disaster or major outage.

             We advanced initiatives to realize our AI strategy, achieve the social implementation of IOWN, and to roll out technologies and resolve issues in a range of industries.

             《Innovations in Computing with Photonics Technology (Toward IOWN 3.0)》

           • Advances in AI have caused an explosive increase in computer computation volume, making it essential to combine multiple GPUs to operate as a single large-scale computing resource. However, when data transmission between GPUs is performed electrically, constraints on transmission capacity and distance create limitations for configurations that span multiple racks. In IOWN 3.0, which we aim to realize in 2028, we have developed the extremely compact photonic-electronic convergence device PEC-3 using our proprietary technology of compound semiconductor thin-film (membrane) for optoelectronics, which optically and directly connects semiconductor packages such as CPUs and GPUs for data transmission. This makes it possible to build a large-scale computing platform that integrates numerous GPUs across multiple racks. We plan to begin providing commercial samples of PEC-3 in 2028.

             《Research and Development Toward Practical Application of Optical Quantum Computers》

           • Quantum computers are expected to be used for complex tasks that require enormous time to compute with conventional computers. Under the IOWN concept, we have pursued research and development of optical communication technologies such as optical amplification and optical multiplexing technologies, and we aim to apply these technologies to the practical application of an optical quantum computer. In November 2025, we signed a collaboration agreement with OptQC Corp. to pursue the development of scalable and highly reliable optical quantum computers with the goal of achieving a Japan-leading 10,000 qubits by 2027 and a world-leading 1 million qubits by 2030.

             《Research and Development Aimed at Expanding the Space Business》

           • The space market is currently attracting attention as a global growth industry, and the NTT Group is also engaged in initiatives in the communications and observation domains. In November 2025, we announced the world’s first demonstration of a method to detect early signs of road cave-ins by using the reflected components of radio waves from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. This enables efficient risk assessment of potential road cave-in risks without on-site work, and we are developing wide-area infrastructure monitoring technology. In addition, against the backdrop of increasing data volumes handled in outer space, a shift from radio-wave communication to next-generation optical communication is expected, and we are working on the advancement of inter-satellite optical communication terminals. This will enable the construction of space infrastructure equipped with high-speed and large-capacity computing platforms based on IOWN technology. We will also take on the challenge of research and development with future lunar business in mind, and under the space business brand NTT C89 we aim for early business growth on the scale of 100 billion yen.

             《Development of Hydrogen Piping Technology Toward Realizing a Hydrogen Society》

           • We are developing proprietary piping technology to safely and efficiently transport hydrogen toward realizing a decarbonized society. While hydrogen is expected as a next-generation energy source, it has the property of degrading metals when transported via pipelines or cylinders, making the establishment of safe transportation technology an important issue. We have developed a special dual-layer structure pipe in an aim to realize a transportation method that achieves both enhanced safety and cost reduction by using technology to install these pipes while effectively utilizing existing underground spaces such as utility tunnels. In July 2025, we began joint research and demonstration of safety measures with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Port and Harbor and related Group companies, with the aim of commercializing these measures in the future.

Notes:

1. The last day of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 fell on a non-business day, resulting in the due date for certain bills, including telecommunication service bills, being set to the first business day of the following month. Consequently, at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥192,820 million and trade and other receivables decreased by the same amount during the period. Please see “1. BUSINESS RESULTS — (2) Summary of Financial Position” for details.

2. “Gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries and associates,” which had previously been presented within “Other, net” in cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, is now presented separately for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, due to an increase in the materiality of the amount of this items. As a result of this change, the ¥(99,291) million amount that had previously been presented as “Other, net” in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 has been reclassified and presented as ¥(24,183) million of “Gain on sale of shares of subsidiaries and associates,” and ¥ (75,108) million of “Other, net.”

3. “Proceeds from sale of interests in subsidiaries to non-controlling interests,” and “Proceeds from stock issuance to non-controlling interests,” which had previously been presented within “Other, net” in cash flows from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, are now presented separately for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, due to an increase in the materiality of these items. As a result of this change, the amount of ¥23,705 million that had previously been presented as “Other, net” in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, has been reclassified and presented as ¥918 million of “Proceeds from sale of interests in subsidiaries to non-controlling interests,” ¥22,608 million of “Proceeds from stock issuance to non-controlling interests,” and ¥179 million of “Other, net.”
