Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) is a leading telecommunications company in Japan, offering a wide range of services including fixed and mobile voice communications, system integration, and real estate solutions.
In its latest earnings report for the six months ending September 30, 2024, NTT reported operating revenues of 6,590 billion yen, marking a 3.6% increase compared to the previous year. However, the company also experienced notable declines in key profit metrics, with operating profit and profit attributable to NTT dropping by 3.2% and 17.3%, respectively.
The financial data highlights a mixed performance for NTT. Despite an increase in operating revenues, the company faced decreases in profits before taxes and net profits, which fell by 15.4% and 17.3% respectively. This was partly due to increased operating expenses and a significant drop in finance income. Furthermore, NTT’s comprehensive income saw a dramatic decline of 59%, reflecting challenges in both the domestic and international markets.
Looking ahead, NTT’s management maintains cautious optimism, projecting modest growth in operating revenues for the fiscal year ending March 2025. While the forecast anticipates further pressure on profit margins, the company is committed to enhancing operational efficiencies and exploring strategic opportunities to bolster its market position.
