To announce the differences between financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 under Taiwan-IFRSs and that under IFRSs

Date of events: 2020/11/06

Contents:

1. Date of occurrence of the event: 2020/11/06

2. Year/Quarter of the financial report: The third quarter of 2020

3. Accounting principles applied for securities listed domestically:

Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”) “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China (“Taiwan-IFRSs”)

1. Inconsistent items/amounts in financial reports for securities listed domestically:

Under Taiwan-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (or the “Company”) reported consolidated net income of NT$8,715,777 thousand and NT$26,116,127 thousand, consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of the parent of NT$8,336,836 thousand and NT$25,194,210 thousand, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.07 and NT$3.25 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company also reported total assets of NT$497,460,270 thousand, total liabilities of NT$117,803,154 thousand, and total equity of NT$379,657,116 thousand as of September 30, 2020.

1. Accounting principles applied for securities issued overseas:

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IFRSs”)

1. Inconsistent items/ amounts (securities issued overseas):

Under IFRSs, the Company reported consolidated net income of NT$8,257 million and NT$26,553 million, consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of the parent of NT$7,897 million and NT$25,628 million, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.02 and NT$3.31 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company also reported total assets of NT$497,248 million, total liabilities of NT$119,156 million, and total equity of NT$378,092 million as of September 30, 2020.

1. Inconsistent items/amounts in financial information for securities issued overseas:

The differences between consolidated net income under Taiwan-IFRSs and that under IFRSs followed by the Company mainly come from the timing of the recognition of income tax on unappropriated earnings. In addition, prior to incorporation, the Company was subject to the laws and regulations applicable to state-owned enterprises in Taiwan which differed from the generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to commercial companies. As such, revenue from providing fixed line connection service and selling prepaid phone cards was recognized at the time the service was performed or the card was sold by the Company. Upon incorporation, net assets greater than the capital stock was credited as additional paid-in-capital and part of the additional paid-in-capital was from the unearned revenues generated from connection fees and prepaid cards as of the date of incorporation. Under IFRSs, revenue from connection fees and prepaid phone cards was deferred at the time of the service performed or sale and recognized as revenue over time as the service is continuously performed or as consumed. This reclassification from additional paid-in capital to retained earnings did not affect total equity.

1. Any other matters that need to be specified:

Chunghwa Telecom’s earnings distribution and stockholders’ equity matters are in accordance with Taiwan-IFRSs.

Operating costs and expenses decreased year over year to NT$ 13.18 billion, mainly due to the decrease of cost of goods sold and interconnection expenses, which offset the increase of amortization costs. Operating income was NT$ 3.57 billion. Income before tax was NT$ 3.58 billion. Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$ 2.77 billion. EPS was NT$0.36.
