On the business front, the Company will focus on IDC and cloud services, cybersecurity, Pre-6G smart applications such as the "New Three Ten-Billion driver," alongside multi-media services.

Simultaneously, the Company will continue to drive growth in its content business, expanding both revenue and subscriber base for MOD and Hami Video platforms.

In terms of footprint expansion, the Company will strengthen collaboration between parent and subsidiaries, advance strategic investments in areas of emerging AI applications, sustainability transformation and cultural and creative content, and facilitate subsidiary IPOs or spin-offs. Concurrently, the Company will continue to optimize its asset portfolio by integrating sustainable building practices with intelligent management systems to enhance asset value and drive revenue generation.

In addition to advancing technology and business development, the Company continues to actively advance ESG initiatives. On the environmental front, the Company will steadily implement its decarbonization roadmap, accelerate renewable energy procurement, execute voluntary carbon offset projects, leverage IOWN technology to enhance network energy efficiency and carbon reduction, and advance biodiversity conservation efforts. On the social front, the Company will promote digital equality, establish a safe and credible digital environment, and strengthen workplace well-being and workforce resilience. In governance, beyond maintaining the ESG top tier MSCI AAA rating, the Company leads the way in aligning with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, and adopting the ISO 37001 Anti Bribery Management System to further enhance international sustainability recognition.

**NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Chunghwa's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those statements as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to the risks outlined in Chunghwa's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms F-1, F-3, 6-K and 20-F, in each case as amended. The forward-looking statements in this press release reflect the current belief of Chunghwa as of the date of this press release and Chunghwa undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to such date, except as required under applicable law.

This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration.

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Supervisory Commission, or T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provides EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure". EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) certain financing costs, (iii) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations.

------

In managing the Company's business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing on our operating performance, (iii) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations.

**CAUTIONS ON USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

In addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA". The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.

Chunghwa Telecom's management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that:

these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;

these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;

these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; and

these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with T-IFRSs and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principle.

Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Chunghwa Telecom, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results as a substitute for results under T-IFRSs, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.
