(Taipei, May 11, Central News Agency) The three major telecom companies announced their April profits. Chunghwa Telecom's revenue and EBITDA hit a new high for the same period, earning NT$0.48 per share, surpassing Taiwan Mobile's NT$0.47, reclaiming the top spot for single-month earnings per share (EPS). However, Taiwan Mobile's cumulative EPS for the first four months reached NT$1.84, still exceeding Chunghwa Telecom's NT$1.78, maintaining its lead. Far EasTone's April EPS was NT$0.36, also setting a new high for April.
Chunghwa Telecom announced its self-consolidated revenue for April was NT$20.5 billion, operating profit NT$4.83 billion, net profit attributable to owners of the parent company NT$3.73 billion, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) NT$8.24 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) NT$0.48.
Chunghwa Telecom stated that in April, robust growth in ICT services and steady growth in core telecom businesses, coupled with strong smartphone sales and increased sales driven by strong AI demand from subsidiaries, propelled a 7.6% year-on-year increase in monthly revenue. Both monthly revenue and EBITDA reached new highs for the same period in history.
Chunghwa Telecom pointed out that the main growth drivers for ICT services in April came from the successive completion and delivery of large data center and AI server room construction projects, which drove continuous growth in smart connectivity, IDC cloud, and cybersecurity service revenues.
Regarding network resilience-related businesses, Chunghwa Telecom stated that the international submarine cables SJC2 and Apricot, completed at the end of last year, and the continuous expansion of satellite service application fields, consistently contributed stable recurring revenue. This led to a 9% and 8% year-on-year growth in international circuit and satellite communication revenues, respectively.
Core telecom businesses continued to maintain steady growth. Chunghwa Telecom indicated that mobile service revenue continued to benefit from the increase in 5G speed-upgrade subscribers, with high-speed broadband users above 300Mbps increasing by 13.5% year-on-year in April.
As of April 2026, Chunghwa Telecom's consolidated revenue was NT$80.49 billion, net profit attributable to owners of the parent company NT$13.84 billion, and earnings per share NT$1.78.
Taiwan Mobile's self-consolidated revenue for April was NT$15.67 billion, net profit after tax NT$1.43 billion, and EPS NT$0.47. Cumulative consolidated revenue for the first four months was NT$65.45 billion, net profit after tax NT$5.57 billion, a 19% year-on-year increase, and EPS NT$1.84.
Taiwan Mobile observed that its three major growth engines continued to deliver momentum in April, boosting revenue and profits: In the telecom sector, strong sales of new Mac and other plans drove steady growth in average revenue per user (ARPU), with mobile service revenue increasing by about 3% year-on-year. Supported by broadband products, household business revenue also grew by 16% year-on-year. In the enterprise sector, revenue maintained a double-digit increase benefiting from AICT projects and AIDC-related contributions. In the technology sector, brand e-commerce business continued to expand, with momo's revenue showing positive growth for two consecutive months.
Taiwan Mobile's consolidated operating profit for April increased by 22% year-on-year. Coupled with growth in profit from equity method investments, net profit after tax increased by 37% year-on-year, reaching an EPS of NT$0.47.
Far EasTone's April performance benefited from innovative tariff plans promoting 5G user upgrades, strong mobile phone sales driven by Mother's Day promotions, and steady contributions from smart ICT and personal digital life services.
Far EasTone's consolidated total revenue, consolidated EBITDA, and net profit after tax for April were NT$9.54 billion, NT$3.294 billion, and NT$1.309 billion, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 11.3%, 6.1%, and 23.8%. EPS was NT$0.36, also setting a new high for April.

Cumulative EPS was NT$1.39.
Regarding enterprise smart ICT, Far EasTone explained that the continuous rise in demand for cloud, IoT, and cybersecurity-related services drove the overall enterprise smart ICT revenue to maintain double-digit year-on-year growth. (Editor: Huang Kuo-lun) 1150511
