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 consolidated revenue for May 2018 was NT$ 19.51 billion. Operating costs and expenses were NT$ 14.98 billion. Operating income was NT$ 4.52 billion. Pretax income was NT$ 4.56 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$ 3.56 billion, and EPS was NT$0.46. 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 May. The effect is NT$ 1.37 billion decrease on consolidated revenue, NT$ 0.28 billion increase on operating costs and expenses, NT$ 1.65 billion decrease on operating income, NT$ 1.65 billion decrease on pretax income and NT$ 1.33 billion decrease on net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company.

Pretax income was NT$ 6.21 billion, a 62.2 % increase year-over-year. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$ 4.89 billion, a 59.4 % increase year-over-year and EPS was NT$0.63.

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, mobile communications business revenue in May increased year-over-year mainly due to the increase of subscribers signing up for the promotional plans in May, which led to the year-over-year increase of mobile service revenue. Handset sales revenue slightly increased.

 

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

 

Under the basis before IFRS 15 adoption, operating costs and expenses in May slightly increased year-over-year.
