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.Cause of occurrence:

 

Chunghwa Telecom announced its total revenue for 2018 was NT$215.46 billion, a 5.3% decrease year-over-year. Operating income was NT$43.63 billion, a 6.6% decrease year-over-year. Income before tax was NT$44.97 billion, a 6.3% decrease year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$35.52 billion, an 8.6% decrease year-over-year. Accumulated EPS was NT$4.58, below the guidance.

 

The consolidated revenue for December 2018 was NT$19.45 billion, an 11.1% decrease year-over-year. Operating costs and expenses were NT$16.42 billion, a 13.4% decrease year-over-year. Operating income was NT$3.23 billion, a 13.2% increase year-over-year. Income before tax was NT$ 3.38 billion, an 8.4% increase year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$2.86 billion, a 16.1% increase year-over-year. EPS was NT$0.37.

 

Consolidated revenue for December decreased year over year mainly due to the decrease of voice revenue resulted from continuing VoIP substitution and the decline of mobile service revenue owing to market competition, as well as the decrease of mobile sales revenue and ICT project revenue, which offset the increase of Internet VAS revenue and MOD revenue. However, operating costs and expenses decreased as a result of the lower cost of goods sold, maintenance expenses and interconnection expenses, which led to the increase of operating income. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company increased year over year as well.
