Chunghwa Telecom Reports Un-Audited Consolidated Operating Results for the Third Quarter of 2026

Chih-Cheng Chien, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom

“We are delighted to report an outstanding third quarter that exceeded the high ends of our guidance, with revenue, profit and EPS all reaching their highest levels for any third quarter since 2009. Our core telecom business remained solid, while ICT revenue reached its highest third quarter level since 2021. In addition, our asset revitalization efforts contributed a one-off gain to profit, further demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategy. With this strong performance, we are confident in achieving our full-year guidance.”

“Our core telecom business was a critical component of this performance. We continued to lead Taiwan's mobile and fixed broadband markets, with market share ahead of our peers across all mobile metrics. Reflecting this leadership, mobile service revenue grew 2.9% year over year, on 5G smartphone penetration close to 50% and stronger roaming. While fixed broadband benefited from rising demand for higher speeds, with sign-ups of 1Gbps and above increased by 52% year-over-year”

“Our Enterprise Business Group was another key growth driver, with ICT revenue notably up 19% year over year and third-quarter ICT order intake rose 84% year over year, reflecting a robust project pipeline. Meanwhile, our network resilience performance continued its upward trajectory, with IPLC revenue, mainly attributable to submarine cable systems, up 33% year over year, and satellite-related revenue up 9.8%. In addition, as of the third quarter, our satellite-related contract wins accumulated had reached over NT$250 million, validating our investments and paving the way for future revenue contribution.”

“Going forward, we will continue to build on our strong core business while accelerating our AI strategy across consumer and enterprise markets. Our expanded collaboration with Google will broaden our AI-enabled consumer services, while CHT InventAI's GenAI governance and AgentHub and the newly established CHT Intelligent Vision Solutions will further strengthen our capabilities in enterprise AI and smart city applications. We remain committed to delivering sustainable shareholder returns and to our ESG goals, as reflected in our top 1% ranking from TIME Magazine's World's Most Sustainable Companies and BSI's AI Mark of Trust”
