Filing Explained

The board approved up to NT$20 billion of unsecured bonds for possible issuance within one year of November 6, 2026; conversion and related dilution are marked not applicable, so the approved financing is not a disclosed share issuance.

Operating revenue NT$188,945.075 million Nine months ended September 30, 2026
Gross profit NT$71,664.906 million Nine months ended September 30, 2026
Net operating income NT$41,745.668 million Nine months ended September 30, 2026

Issue price 100% of par value Unsecured corporate bonds
Bond maturity In principle not exceeding 10 years Different maturities may be issued depending on market conditions
unsecured corporate bonds financial
"Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. unsecured corporate bonds"
Coupon rate financial
"Coupon rate: Issued at a fixed interest rate"
The coupon rate is the annual interest percentage a bond or similar debt security promises to pay, calculated on its face value and usually delivered in regular payments like a steady paycheck. For investors it shows the expected income from holding the bond and helps compare returns across investments; it also affects a bond’s market price because higher or lower prevailing interest rates make that fixed payment more or less attractive.
shelf registration financial
"Whether to adopt shelf registration"
Shelf registration is when a company gets permission ahead of time to sell new stocks or bonds over a period of time instead of all at once. It matters to investors because it lets a company raise money quickly when needed, but it can also change the value of existing shares if many new ones are sold.
Basic earnings (loss) per share financial
"Basic earnings (loss) per share accumulated from 1/1"
underwriting financial
"Public offering through underwriting"
Underwriting is the process where a financial institution agrees to buy and then resell new stocks or bonds to investors. It matters because it helps companies raise money quickly and smoothly, while the bank takes on the risk of selling those securities at the agreed price. Think of it like a booker guaranteeing to sell all tickets for a concert before opening the doors.
