NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan’s biggest mobile-phone company, may buy more companies overseas to widen access to entertainment content and e-commerce operations to help boost sales abroad ninefold in four years.

“We will consider acquisitions if necessary,” Chief Executive Officer Kaoru Kato said in an interview. Revenue outside Japan, excluding roaming fees, may grow to as much as 200 billion yen ($2.5 billion) in the year ending March 2016 from about 22 billion yen last fiscal year, he said.
