Date of events: 2018/02/12

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 on IFRS 15 basis for January 2018 was NT$18.20 billion. Operating costs and expenses were NT$14.30 billion. Operating income was NT$3.89 billion. Pretax income was NT$3.91 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.06 billion, and EPS was NT$0.39. 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 January. The effect is NT$0.03 billion decrease on consolidated revenue, NT$0.05 billion increase on operating costs and expenses, NT$0.08 billion decrease on operating income, NT$0.08 billion decrease on pretax income, NT$0.08 billion decrease on net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company and NT$0.02 decrease on EPS.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, consolidated revenue for January 2018 was NT$18.23 billion, a 2.7% decrease year-over-year. Operating costs and expenses were NT$14.25 billion, a 1.4% decrease year-over-year. Operating income was NT$3.97 billion, a 7.2% decrease year-over-year. Pretax income was NT$3.99 billion, a 7.9% decrease year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.14 billion, a 11.0% decrease year-over-year, and EPS was NT$0.41.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, mobile communications business revenue in January slightly decreased year-over-year mainly due to the decrease of mobile voice revenue, which offset the increase of handset sales revenue and value-added service revenue driven by the growth of mobile internet subscriber base.

 

In January, internet revenue under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption increased year-over-year, but broadband access revenue decreased. MOD revenue continued to increase due to subscription growth. Local revenue decreased because of mobile and VoIP substitution. ICT project revenue decreased as well.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, operating costs and expenses in January slightly decreased year-over-year mainly due to the decrease of ICT project costs and interconnection expense, which offset the increase of amortization and marketing related expenses.

 

8.Countermeasures: None

 

9.Any other matters that need to be specified: None
