Statement
1.Date of occurrence of the event: 2022/08/05
2.Year/Quarter of the financial report: The second quarter of 2022
3.Accounting principles applied for securities listed domestically:
 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities

4.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$10,035,492
 thousand and NT$19,426,469 thousand, consolidated net income attributable
 to stockholders of the parent of NT$9,656,841 thousand and NT$18,716,421
 thousand, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.24 and NT$2.41 for the
 three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company
 also reported total consolidated assets of NT$526,606,547 thousand, total
 consolidated liabilities of NT$152,524,124 thousand, and total consolidated
 equity of NT$374,082,423 thousand as of June 30, 2022.
5.Accounting principles applied for securities issued overseas:
 IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International
 Accounting Standard Board ("IFRSs")
6.Inconsistent items/ amounts (securities issued overseas):
 Under IFRSs, the Company reported consolidated net income of NT$11,454
 million and NT$20,347 million, consolidated net income attributable to
 stockholders of the parent of NT$11,021 million and NT$19,601 million,
 and basic earnings per share of NT$1.42 and NT$2.53 for the three months
 and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company also reported
 total consolidated assets of NT$526,411 million, total consolidated
 liabilities of NT$153,539 million, and total consolidated equity of
 NT$372,872 million as of June 30, 2022.
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.
