<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Mr.&nbsp;Yu Cheng, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom, stated, &#147;The second quarter of 2017 was another
quarter of stable financial and operating performance, during which we experienced in-line revenue
and better-than-expected profits. In our mobile business, we maintained our leadership position
with 37.3% market share in mobile subscribers and 37.2% market share in mobile revenue, as well as
the lowest churn rate in the market. Additionally, we effectively executed our strategy to enhance
subsidy efficiency by re-allocating resources to guide mobile subscription toward high-end plans
with the goal of increasing the number of new, high-end customers and ARPU. In our broadband
segment, we were encouraged to experience a small quarter-over-quarter increase in the number of
broadband subscribers. We remain focused on strengthening our high speed service adoption and have
bundled the high-quality IPTV service that will carry OTT service in the near future to drive
subscriber growth. Additionally, we continued to showcase applications developed on our IoT
platform in smart cities projects in Taiwan. Going forward, we remain committed to building upon
our competitive advantages, offering reliable, customized and comprehensive ICT solutions to our
enterprise customers and establishing a comprehensive ecosystem in this sector.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Mr.&nbsp;Cheng continued, &#147;While there were challenges in the market, we remain confident in our ability
to solidify our market leadership position and create incremental shareholder value. Looking ahead,
we will continue to leverage our expertise in cutting-edge communications technology, our deep
marketing resources, as well as our effective operational strategies and strong execution
capabilities to strengthen our user acquisition, diversify our product offerings and develop new
initiatives in our innovative business lines.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Revenue</B>
<BR>
Chunghwa Telecom&#146;s total revenues for the second quarter of 2017 decreased by 0.9% to NT$55.67
billion.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Mobile communications revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased by 1.2% to NT$26.79&nbsp;billion.
This was mainly due to the increase of mobile VAS revenue and smart device sales that offset the
decrease of mobile voice revenue. The decrease in mobile voice revenue was mainly due to increased
market competition and VoIP substitution.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Internet business revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased by 4.4% year over year to
NT$7.08&nbsp;billion. The increase was primarily attributable to higher data communications revenue and
application value-added service revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Domestic fixed revenue for the second quarter of 2017 decreased by 7.4% year over year to NT$16.99
billion, mainly due to lower local and DLD service revenue, which decreased by 7.3% and 8.7%,
respectively. The decrease in local and DLD service revenue was primarily driven by increased
mobile and VoIP substitution. Broadband access revenue decreased by 0.7% to NT$4.67&nbsp;billion.&nbsp;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">International fixed revenue increased by 0.9% to NT$3.69&nbsp;billion, mainly due to the increase of
international long distance revenue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Operating Costs and Expenses</B>
<BR>
Total operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased by 0.1% year over year
to NT$43.35&nbsp;billion, mainly driven by higher cost of goods sold and marketing expenses that offset
the lower interconnection and ICT project costs.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Operating Income and Net Income</B>
<BR>
Income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 decreased by 4.3% to NT$12.32&nbsp;billion.
Operating margin was 22.1%, as compared to 22.9% in the same period of 2016. Net income
attributable to stockholders of the parent decreased by 5.6% to NT$10.44&nbsp;billion. Basic earnings
per share was NT$1.35.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Cash Flow and EBITDA</B>
<BR>
Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter of 2017 increased by 18.9% to NT$15.94
billion, which was mainly due to lower income tax paid.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Cash and cash equivalents, as of June&nbsp;30, 2017, increased by 8.3% to NT$48.34&nbsp;billion as compared
to that as of June&nbsp;30, 2016.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 decreased by 3.1% to NT$20.35&nbsp;billion. EBITDA margin was
36.54%, as compared to 37.35% in the same period of 2016.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Business and Operational Highlights</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Broadband/HiNet</B>
<BR>
The Company continued to execute its strategy of encouraging FTTx migration. As of June&nbsp;30, 2017,
the number of FTTx subscribers reached 3.53&nbsp;million, accounting for 78.8% of the Company&#146;s total
broadband users. Moreover, the number of subscribers signing up for speeds of 100Mbps or higher
increased by 10.0% year over year, reaching more than 1.23&nbsp;million.&nbsp;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">HiNet subscribers decreased by 0.4% year over year to 3.75&nbsp;million as of June&nbsp;30, 2017.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Mobile</B>

</FONT><BR>
<FONT style="font-size: 11pt">To supplement the Company&#146;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 &#147;non-GAAP
financial measure&#148;. EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss)&nbsp;excluding (i)&nbsp;depreciation
and amortization, (ii)&nbsp;total net comprehensive financing cost (which is comprised of net interest
expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other financing costs and
derivative transactions), (iii)&nbsp;other income, net, (iv)&nbsp;income tax, (v) (income)&nbsp;loss from
discontinued operations.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">In managing the Company&#146;s business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its
operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i)&nbsp;depreciation and amortization, which
represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;income tax
(iv)&nbsp;other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business.

</FONT><BR>
<FONT style="font-size: 11pt">In addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom
also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including &#147;EBITDA&#148;. 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.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Chunghwa Telecom&#146;s management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in
referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company&#146;s operating results, as
well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that:
