Comments from Mikael Bratt, President & CEOAs we indicated throughout the year, we finished 2023 strong. We achieved or exceeded all of our 2023 indications. Sales and adjusted operating income hit new records while operating cash flow remained strong. I am pleased that gross margin improved substantially. 2023 order intake was the highest in the past five years, supporting our around 45% market share position, with a good mix of new and traditional OEMs as well as EV and ICE platforms. We increased shareholder returns to more than $200 million in the quarter while continuing to improve our leverage ratio. As of the end of 2023, we have repurchased shares close to $0.5 billion under our existing $1.5 billion repurchase program.We outperformed LVP in all regions except China, which had a very strong LVP growth for domestic OEMs with typically lower safety content. We strengthened our market position in China and our order intake was strong in the rapidly changing market, where domestic OEMs are now the drivers behind LVP development.We continue to deliver on our structural cost reductions, with around 75% of the planned indirect workforce reductions detailed and announced. We also see positive effects on direct labor productivity.Our 2023 performance developed very much as we indicated with heavy cost headwinds early in the year, which led to a weak Q1 2023. However, quarter-by-quarter, our performance improved, driven by customer recoveries, efficiencies, and organic growth leading to a substantial full year profitability improvement. Our sustainability agenda is yielding results with good progress in GHG emissions, renewable electricity use and incident rate. The seasonality of past years is likely to be repeated in 2024, with an expected Q1 adjusted operating margin of around 7%, followed by gradual quarterly improvements, leading to a full year 2024 adjusted operating margin of around 10.5%. Key drivers for the full year margin progression are continued improvement in call-off stability, outgrowing LVP and benefits from strategic and structural initiatives. The improving results we expect in 2024 should take us one important step closer to our target of around 12% adjusted operating margin.

Ebenezer Group has also signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a Build-Own Transfer (BOT) concession project to power the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Corporate Headquarters at Hampshire Road with their solar panels. SINGAPORE, Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a groundbreaking move towards sustainability and strategic expansion, Ebenezer Logistics, a subsidiary of the prominent local business Ebenezer Group, proudly announces the successful acquisition of HAVI Logistics' operations in Singapore. This milestone agreement positions Ebenezer Logistics as a key player in the logistics sector and underscores its commitment to fostering a greener future. This acquisition, effective as of 29 December 2023, marks a pivotal moment for Ebenezer Logistics as it strategically broadens its business portfolio, perfectly aligning with its growth strategy. HAVI Logistics, renowned for its top-notch cold chain solutions, not only strengthens Ebenezer Logistics' position in the logistics sector but also represents a significant leap forward. Cold chain solutions are vital in preserving the integrity of temperature-sensitive goods during transportation and storage. By incorporating HAVI Logistics' Singapore operations, Ebenezer Logistics enhances its presence in the cold chain sector with the inclusion of approximately 30,000 sf of cold storage capacity within its diverse portfolio of space at Pandan Loop. HAVI Logistics' global reputation for excellence, combined with Ebenezer Logistics' expanded capabilities, sets the stage for increased efficiency and innovation in logistics solutions. This acquisition underscores Ebenezer Logistics' commitment to providing cutting-edge services and reinforces its trajectory towards becoming a comprehensive and leading player in the logistics industry. Mr. Lawrence Kim, CEO of Ebenezer Group, said: "As we embark on this transformative journey, the acquisition of HAVI Logistics' operations in Singapore marks a defining moment for Ebenezer Group. Our vision extends beyond mere logistics – it's about pioneering sustainability and innovation. Integrating HAVI's operations propels us towards a future where efficiency and ingenuity redefine the logistics landscape." Power Purchase Agreement Contract with Land Transport Authority In addition to the acquisition, Ebenezer Group also announces the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) contract with the Land Transport Authority (LTA), securing the payment stream for a Build-Own Transfer (BOT) concession project. This project aims to power LTA's Corporate Headquarters at Hampshire Road with solar panels through its Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System. Leveraging renewable energy from the sun, this initiative not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also ensures long-term energy efficiency for the headquarters. Mr Kim continues: "Signing the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the LTA Headquarters is our pledge to shape a sustainable future. The Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System will be installed at Hampshire Road by Ebenezer, streamlines environmental responsibility and a testament to our dedication to long-term energy efficiency, where renewable energy becomes the backbone of Singapore's infrastructure. The ambitious target of 50MW in solar systems by 2025 is our commitment to lead this green revolution." Ebenezer's rooftop solar PV system harnesses the power of the sun, offering a clean, safe, sustainable, and abundant energy source. The system can be easily installed on various surfaces, including roofs, parking lots, and on/offshore facilities. Investing in solar PV systems not only leads to lower electricity bills but also promises a strong solar return on investment (ROI). As one of the most trusted renewable and solar energy companies in Singapore, Ebenezer boasts a portfolio of pipeline and completed projects, totalling close to 10MW of solar projects across HDB rooftops, shipyards, and commercial roofs. Founded in 1994 as a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) company primarily serving the oil & gas sector, Ebenezer expanded in 2013 by venturing into CNC precision engineering. The company continued its trajectory of diversification with a foray into solar energy in 2018 and entered the logistics sector in 2021. This evolution positions Ebenezer as a versatile and dynamic organisation, showcasing expertise across various industries. From its roots in non-destructive testing (NDT), the company has ventured into cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices. The pride of Ebenezer lies in its pioneering initiatives, notably its Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet. Consisting of about 200 trucks, vans, prime movers, lorry crane, freezer containers and chassis, Ebenezer has become a trailblazer in the industry. This groundbreaking commitment aligns with the company's ethos of innovation, sustainability, and excellence in every facet of its operations. In line with their growth strategy, Ebenezer is actively seeking financial backing to fuel its expansion plans. The company aims to attract potential investors who share their vision for a sustainable future and wish to be part of the green revolution in Singapore.

TAIPEI, Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (TAIEX: 2412, NYSE: CHT) ("Chunghwa" or "the Company") today reported its guidance for 2024 on a consolidated basis. All figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards ("T-IFRSs"). Looking ahead to 2024, Chunghwa Telecom will solidify its leading position in mobile market revenue and market share with outstanding network and service quality. By promoting fixed broadband speed upgrades, the Company aims to deliver the highest quality services, strengthen customer relationships, and enhance user experience to sustain its leading position. Furthermore, by increasing investment in original video content, the Company aims to enhance market share and customer contribution while promoting Taiwanese original productions to the global stage. At the same time, we will continue to implement sustainable transformation, drive digital transformation, embark on AI transformation, enhance resilience and security, and explore opportunities in 5G smart applications, to further advance the innovation and growth for information and communication technology business. In terms of international business, we will continue to strengthen our position as the Asia-Pacific information hub and team up with Taiwan companies to expand market worldwide. Chunghwa Telecom is confident to maintain its leading position in the industry and widen our lead against peers due to our solid strengths and growth momentum. For 2024, the Company expects total revenue to increase by NT$ 5.34~NT$6.99 billion, or 2.4%~3.1%, to NT$228.54~NT$230.19 billion as compared to the un-audited consolidated total revenue of 2023. The increase in revenue is expected to be propelled by increases in mobile communications revenue, broadband access revenue, and data communications revenue, as well as revenue coming from the expansion of emerging businesses driven by the sustainable transformation and digital economy. Operating costs and expenses for 2024 are expected to increase by NT$ 7.09~NT$ 8.06 billion, or 4.0%~4.6%, to NT$183.30~NT$184.27 billion as compared to the prior year. The increase is mainly from the increasing cost of investment in talents and infrastructure that supports future business development in emerging businesses. Income from operations is expected to decrease by NT$ 1.12, to an increase by NT$0.15 billion, or -2.4%~0.3% to NT$45.23~NT$46.50 billion as compared to the prior year. Income before income tax, net income attributable to stockholders of the parent and net earnings per share are expected to be NT$45.90~NT$47.58 billion, NT$35.66~NT$37.20 billion and NT$4.60~NT$4.80, respectively, representing a decrease of NT$1.09 to an increase of NT$0.59 billion, a decrease of NT$1.26 to an increase of NT$ 0.28 billion and a decrease of NT$0.16 to an increase NT$0.04 respectively, year over year. Acquisition of Property, Plant and Equipment in 2024 is expected to increase by NT$3.04 billion to NT$34.02 billion as compared to the prior year, owing to the investments in 5G deployment to maintain a competitive edge, the expansion of internet data center, new construction of submarine cable, and the elimination of energy-intensive equipment to realize ESG practices. In response to the global trends in ESG sustainable development, industrial transformation, and alignment with national macro policies, Mr. Shui-Yi Kuo, Chairman and CEO of Chunghwa Telecom, stated, "Looking ahead to the new year, Chunghwa Telecom will continue to uphold the four core values of 'integrity, customer trust, creation of value and innovation, and commitment to accountability.' Meanwhile, we will leverage the Company's four abundant assets: 'customers and partners, technology platforms, infrastructures, and talents,' to advance towards the Company's three major visions: 'becoming an international benchmark enterprise based on sustainable development, becoming a leading brand of digital ecosystem co-creators; and becoming a top-notch technology conglomerate with a market value surpassing a trillion.' Chunghwa Telecom is confident about the future development and looks forward to collaboratively creating a better future with all customers and partners."

NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSThis press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Chunghwa's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those statements as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to the risks outlined in Chunghwa's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms F-1, F-3, 6-K and 20-F, in each case as amended. The forward-looking statements in this press release reflect the current belief of Chunghwa as of the date of this press release and Chunghwa undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to such date, except as required under applicable law. This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. Any public offering of securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the issuer or selling security holder and that will contain detailed information about the company and management, as well as financial statements. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESTo supplement the Company'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 "non-GAAP financial measure". EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) certain financing costs, (iii) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations. In managing the Company's business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) 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) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations. CAUTIONS ON USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESIn addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA". 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. Chunghwa Telecom's management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that: these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; and these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with T-IFRSs and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principle. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Chunghwa Telecom, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results as a substitute for results under T-IFRSs, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.
