Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd.

Business Report

Taiwan Mobile’s (“TWM” or “The Company”) consolidated revenue rose 9% YoY to NT$109.1bn in 2013. EBITDA also grew 1% YoY to NT$30.8bn. Net income was NT$15.6bn, reaching 101% of the Company’s target, while earnings per share came in at NT$5.79, in line with the Company’s expectations. Mobile data service remained the main growth driver, bolstered by the Company’s introduction of a variety of flexible mobile data packages as well as a wide range of flagship and mid-to-low-end smartphones to encourage user migration from feature phones. This raised its mobile internet adoption rate to 54% at the end of 2013 from 42% the previous year, and boosted its wireless value-added service (VAS) revenue by 30% YoY. Mobile VAS as a percentage of total mobile service revenue climbed to 39% at the end of 2013 and more than offset the softness in mobile voice revenue.

As the Company steadily expanded its core business, it also continued to gain recognition for its commitment to enhancing corporate value. These include:

  1. World-class corporate governance

Taiwan Mobile is committed to maintaining integrity as a core value and promoting corporate governance. The Company’s compliance with global standards has won not only the trust of investors, but also numerous awards and recognition from domestic and international rating institutions. Last year, it was once again selected a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices’ (the world’s first and most widely used global sustainability benchmarks) Emerging Markets Index. The Company was also a recipient of “The Best of Asia: Icon on Corporate Governance, Taiwan region,” the highest honor given by Corporate Governance Asia (CGA) magazine in recognition of its continuous excellence as an award winner for seven years in a row. Furthermore, TWM received an “A++” rating and was ranked among the top five listed companies in “Transparency and Information Disclosure” by the Securities and Futures Institute for the eighth consecutive year.

  1. A role model for corporate social responsibility

TWM’s efforts to employ its corporate and financial resources to assist non-profit organizations in promoting social welfare have won wide recognition. These included receiving the

9

“Corporate Social Responsibility Award” by Global Views Monthly for the sixth time last year – this time for education promotion; the “Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility” award from CommonWealth magazine for the seventh year in a row; and the “2013 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards – Excellence in Telecom Sector” as well as the “Role Model Award for Community Service and Outreach” from the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy Research. In addition, the Company received an ISO 14064-1 certification for complying with greenhouse gas emissions and removals standards and ISO 50001 certification for energy management.

3. Premium services and customer satisfaction

With customer care as its core value, TWM offers premium customer services, including world-class information security, network quality, and product and service innovations – all of which were critical to its earning the following recognitions: being named once again the “Most Prestigious Company” in the telecom sector in an annual survey by CommonWealth magazine in 2013 and receiving the “Trusted Brand Gold Award” from Reader’s Digest for the tenth consecutive year.

Taiwan’s wireless broadband industry is entering a new era with the completion of the 4G license auction at the end of October 2013. The Company won two 15MHz x 2 blocks on the 700MHz (spectrum A4) and the 1800MHz (spectrum C1) bands, with the lowest unit spectrum cost among the big three operators. This year could be a turning point for the industry, as incumbents and new entrants compete for a slice of the 4G market. TWM and its employees are ready to meet these challenges. The Company will continue to leverage its brand and provide superior networks, products and services through innovative research and development, comprehensive distribution channels and world-class information security. TWM is committed to becoming the top choice for high-speed wireless broadband for the consumer.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. And subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC.

As discussed in Notes 4 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2013, Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries changed the recognition method for bundle sales from the residual value method to the relative fair value method, and retrospectively restated all the comparative consolidated financial statements for 2012.

We have also audited the standalone financial statements of Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, on which we have issued an unqualified audit report.

KPMG Taipei, Taiwan (the Republic of China) January 28, 2014

Note to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.

Attachment IV

The 2013 Financial Statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These separate financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these separate financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall separate financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2013, and December 31 and January 1, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

As discussed in Notes 4 and 15 to the separate financial statements, effective January 1, 2013, Taiwan Mobile Co., Ltd. changed the recognition method for bundle sales from the residual value method to the relative fair value method, and retrospectively restated all the comparative separate financial statements for 2012.

We have also audited the accompanying schedules of significant accounts, provided as supplementary analysis, by applying the same procedures described above. In our opinion, such schedules are consistent, in all material respects, with the separate financial statements referred to above.

KPMG

Taipei, Taiwan (the Republic of China) January 28, 2014

Notice to Readers

The accompanying separate financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying separate financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and separate financial statements shall prevail.
