2. Company name: Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

 

3. Relationship to the Company (please enter "head office" or "subsidiaries"): head office

 

4. Reciprocal shareholding ratios: N/A

 

5. Chunghwa Telecom consolidated revenue for February 2018 was NT$17.95 billion. Operating costs and expenses were NT$14.17 billion. Operating income was NT$3.77 billion. Pretax income was NT$3.79 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$2.98 billion, and EPS was NT$0.38. In addition, revenue, operating income, pretax income and EPS all fell in the range of our guidance previously announced.

 

Due to the adoption of IFRS 15 starting from January 1, 2018, Chunghwa Telecom chose the modified retrospective method and disclosed the effect of the adoption on February. The effect is NT$0.11 billion decrease on consolidated revenue, NT$0.08 billion increase on operating costs and expenses, NT$0.19 billion decrease on operating income, NT$0.19 billion decrease on pretax income and NT$0.14 billion decrease on net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, consolidated revenue for February 2018 was NT$18.06 billion, a 1.6% increase year-over-year. Operating costs and expenses were NT$14.09 billion, a 0.2% decrease year-over-year. Operating income was NT$3.96 billion, a 8.9% increase year-over-year. Pretax income was NT$3.98 billion, a 7.5% increase year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.12 billion, merely a 3.8% increase year-over-year due to the increase in the corporate income tax rate starting from January 1, 2018 , and EPS was NT$0.4.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, mobile communications business revenue in February increased year-over-year mainly due to the increase of handset sales revenue and value-added service revenue driven by the growth of 4G and mobile internet subscriber base. However, mobile service revenue decreased year-over-year due to the continued decline in mobile voice revenue.

 

In February, internet revenue under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption slightly decreased year-over-year. Broadband access revenue decreased as well. MOD revenue continued to increase due to subscription growth while local revenue decreased because of mobile and VoIP substitution. ICT project revenue remained flat.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, operating costs and expenses in February slightly decreased by 0.2% year-over-year.

 

8.Countermeasures: None
