Date of events: 2018/05/10

 

Contents:

 

1. Date of occurrence of the event: 2018/5/10

 

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 April 2018 was NT$17.31 billion. Operating costs and expenses were NT$13.23 billion. Operating income was NT$4.08 billion. Pretax income was NT$4.12 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.25 billion, and EPS was NT$0.42. In addition, 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 April. The effect is NT$0.4 billion decrease on consolidated revenue, NT$0.07 billion increase on operating costs and expenses, NT$0.47 billion decrease on operating income, NT$0.47 billion decrease on pretax income and NT$0.38 billion decrease on net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, consolidated revenue for April 2018 was NT$17.71 billion, a 4.5 % decrease year-over-year. Operating costs and expenses were NT$13.16 billion, a 6.1% decrease year-over-year. Operating income was NT$4.55 billion, which remained flat year-over-year. Pretax income was NT$4.59 billion, a 1.0% decrease year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.63 billion, a 4.4% decrease year-over-year and EPS was NT$0.47.

 

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

 

In April, internet revenue under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption slightly increased year-over-year. Broadband access revenue remained flat while MOD revenue increased. Local revenue decreased continually because of VoIP substitution. ICT project revenue remained flat.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, operating costs and expenses in April decreased year-over-year, mainly due to the decrease of cost of goods sold and interconnection expense.

 

8.Countermeasures: None

 

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