Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent company was NT$3.74 billion, an increase of 3.4% year-over-year. EPS was NT$0.48. Mobile value-added service revenue increased by 17.4% due to the growth of mobile internet subscriber base and handset sales increased by 2.7% as well. The increase offset the 6.0% decrease in mobile voice resulting from VoIP substitution and market competition. Therefore, mobile communications business revenue increased by 3.5% year-over-year. Broadband access revenue increased 0.4% while HiNet ISP revenue remained flat year-over-year. ICT revenue increased year-over-year. For traditional fixed line services, local service revenue decreased by 3.7% due to mobile and VOIP substitution. The increase of operating costs and expenses was mainly attributable to the higher costs of goods sold, amortization and ICT project expenses, which offset the decrease of maintenance expenses. |
