  • Chunghwa Telecom reported record June revenue of NT$21.34 billion, driven by strong ICT and core telecom business growth.
  • The company's AI supply chain projects in the U.S. completion and cybersecurity business contributed significantly to its ICT revenue, which grew nearly 50% year-on-year.
  • Robust 5G adoption, increased high-speed broadband subscriptions, and strong viewership for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on MOD and Hami Video also boosted overall performance.

Chunghwa Telecom announced record-breaking revenue for June, reaching NT$21.34 billion, with after-tax net profit at NT$3.55 billion and earnings per share of NT$0.46. For the first half of the year, consolidated operating revenue hit NT$121.35 billion, with net profit at NT$20.75 billion and EPS of NT$2.68.

The company's June revenue saw an 11.4% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth was attributed to the sustained strong performance of its Information and Communications Technology (ICT) business, continued momentum in iPhone sales, and steady growth in its core telecommunications services.

Chunghwa Telecom's ICT business revenue surged by nearly 50% year-on-year in June. This significant boost came from the completion and delivery of AI supply chain projects in the United States, which led to a more than doubled integrated project revenue. Additionally, the cybersecurity business experienced substantial growth, with projects in areas like power systems, digital certificates, and display systems being accepted and launched in June, doubling cybersecurity revenue.

In its core telecommunications segment, revenue from mobile services grew by 3.6% year-on-year. This was driven by the ongoing effectiveness of 5G upgrade plans, leading to a steady increase in 5G subscribers and monthly revenue. Roaming services and corporate SMS also saw year-on-year growth.

Furthermore, fixed-line broadband revenue increased by 3.7% year-on-year. The number of users subscribing to speeds of 300 Mbps or higher grew by 14% annually, indicating a deepening trend of users upgrading their broadband speeds and enhancing the value of broadband services. The company also noted strong performance from MOD and Hami Video, boosted by viewership demand for the "2026 FIFA World Cupโ„ข".
