1.Date of occurrence of the event: 2022/05/06
2.Year/Quarter of the financial report: The first quarter of 2022
3.Accounting principles applied for securities listed domestically:
Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities
Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial
Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory
Commission of the Republic of China ("Taiwan-IFRSs")
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$9,390,977 thousand,
consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of the parent of
NT$9,059,580 thousand, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.17 for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also reported
total consolidated assets of NT$518,374,993 thousand, total consolidated
liabilities of NT$117,992,156 thousand, and total consolidated equity of
NT$400,382,837 thousand as of March 31, 2022.
5.Accounting principles applied for securities issued overseas:
IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board ("IFRSs")
6.Inconsistent items/ amounts (securities issued overseas):
Under IFRSs, the Company reported consolidated net income of NT$8,893
million, consolidated net income attributable to stockholders of the parent
of NT$8,580 million, and basic earnings per share of NT$1.11 for the three
months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also reported total
consolidated assets of NT$518,174 million, total consolidated liabilities
of NT$120,420 million, and total consolidated equity of NT$397,754 million
as of March 31, 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.
