Full year EPS reached an eight‑year high at NT$4.99, while in the fourth quarter EPS of NT$1.20 also marked a ten‑year high for the fourth quarter. These results reflect the resilience of our operations and the disciplined execution of our long‑term strategy focused on digital innovation and operational excellence.”
“Our Consumer Business Group delivered solid fourth quarter performance, supported by strong mobile momentum, rising 5G penetration rate, and another record high in broadband ARPU revenue. Our mobile revenue share increased to 41%, further reinforcing our leadership position. On the enterprise side, although most of our major ICT projects had already been recognized in previous quarters, we saw strong momentum in key ICT segments, including IDC, big data, and 5G private network services, driven by customers’ accelerating digital transformation needs. Our International Business Group delivered 2.5% revenue growth, with 12% year-over-year revenue increase in the Southeast Aisa market as we completed multiple plant construction projects in Singapore and Thailand, a trend that we expect to continue through 2026,” said Mr. Rong-Shy Lin, President of Chunghwa Telecom.
“Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue strengthening our technology capabilities,” Mr. Lin added. With our satellites of OneWeb and SES commencing operation in 2025, the Astranis satellite will join in the second half of 2026, further enhancing our multi-layer satellite capabilities and driving billion-dollar-level business growth. Meanwhile, our expansion into pre-6G opportunities—covering AIoT, satellite and big data services—are expected to bring us the combined revenues surpassing ten billion NT-dollar in 2026. On sustainability, we secured 4.6 billion kWh of green power through a 20-year CPPA to accelerate 2045 net-zero roadmap and received multiple awards. We are committed to building a future-ready digital infrastructure that leverages AI capabilities while delivering long-term, sustainable value for our stakeholders.”
