Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. filed a Form 6-K describing an upcoming investor conference and explaining differences between its 2025 consolidated financial statements under Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs. The company will present at an institutional investor conference hosted by IBF Securities in Taipei on April 16, 2026.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, under Taiwan-IFRSs the company reported consolidated net income of NT$40,517,100 thousand, net income attributable to stockholders of the parent of NT$38,712,404 thousand, and basic earnings per share of NT$4.99. Total consolidated assets were NT$535,871,951 thousand, liabilities NT$135,081,875 thousand, and equity NT$400,790,076 thousand.

Under IFRSs, consolidated net income was NT$40,491 million, net income attributable to stockholders of the parent NT$38,705 million, and basic earnings per share NT$4.99. Total consolidated assets were NT$535,680 million, liabilities NT$137,209 million, and equity NT$398,471 million. The company attributes the differences mainly to timing of income tax on unappropriated earnings and historical treatment of connection fees and prepaid phone cards; the reclassification described did not affect total equity. Chunghwa Telecom states that earnings distribution and stockholders’ equity matters follow Taiwan-IFRSs.

7.
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.

8.
Any other matters that need to be specified:

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