Thank you, Angela, and hello, everyone. Welcome to our second quarter 2025 results conference call. We are pleased to report our exceptional financial results with revenue, operating income, net income and EPS exceeded the upper end of our forecast. For both the second quarter and the first half of the year, second quarter revenue achieved -- reached a 10-year high for the same period, fueled by the solid growth momentum of the core business and expanding ICT segment. Notably, ICT revenue also set a new record for any second quarter since 2021. These achievements underscore our strong commitment to innovation, operational excellence and delivering sustained value to our stakeholders. Meanwhile, I'll continue to execute our sea, land and sky strategy to enhance network resilience and seize future opportunities. In July, we officially launched the Southeast Asia Japan Cable 2 as Stage 2, enhancing network performance across the Asia Pacific region and supporting the rapid growth of bandwidth-intensive applications such as AI and the cloud computing in addition to the previously announced investment in E2A, the Trans-Pacific undersea cable connecting Asia to North America. We announced to invest in new Asia United Gateway, AUG, East submarine cable in July, which connects the Asia and is expected to bring in revenue after its completion in 2029. In terms of our multi-orbit satellite business, in the second quarter, Chunghwa Telecom not only obtained the new exclusive commercial license for OneWeb LEO services, but also extend the satellite services to broader use, including the in-flight WiFi services for aviation industry and the applications for maritime industry. Moreover, for the land, we have partnered with NTT to successfully present the world's first cross-border co-performance conducted in both Taiwan and Osaka at the same time through IOWN, the all-photonics network at Expo 2025, demonstrating the ultra-low latency and its application. Notably, we are honored to receive the highest MSCI CSG rating of AAA in May, the only Taiwan telecom to be recognized with the highest rating, reflecting our strong performance in governance and data privacy and carbon management. We also earned the prestigious 2025 Taiwan Data Center Services Competitive Strategy Leadership Award from Frost & Sullivan, recognizing our AI-ready data center capability. In addition, our long-standing commitment to corporate governance was reaffirmed by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, which recognize us as one of the top 5% of listed companies. Now let's move on to the business overview of the second quarter of 2025. Please turn to Page 5 to review our success in Taiwan mobile market. In the second quarter, we further strengthened our leadership position in Taiwan mobile market. According to the data from Taiwan's telecom regulator, our mobile market share rose to 40.7% as of June, reaching a new high. We also achieved the highest subscriber share among peers at 39.1%, driven by the continuing growth of postpaid subscribers. Both revenue and subscriber shares increased year-over-year, highlighting our solid and sustained growth momentum. Our 5G market share reached 38.7%, maintaining our leading position in this segment, supported by robust network quality, the ongoing expansion of our subscriber base and continued 5G migration. Mobile service revenue grew approximately 2% year-over- year. Additionally, the average month fee increased by 38% as more users upgraded to 5G, helping stabilize mobile ARPU, which delivered a modest quarter-over-quarter increase in the second quarter. Let's move on to Slide 6 for update of our outperforming Fixed Broadband business. In the second quarter, our Fixed Broadband revenue increased 1.8% year-over-year, driven by the success of our strategic bundled plan and our distinguished offering of symmetrical uplink and downlink speeds for service above 300 megabits per second. Fixed Broadband ARPU also rose approximately 2% on yields as well, representing an increase of TWD 14 per month, an encouraging sign of value expansion. Our cross-tier upgrade promotions featuring bundled plans, such as MOD, WiFi and streaming services, continuing to perform well. Nearly 70% of adopters opted for plans with speed of 300 megabit per second and high, including 1 gigabit per second services. As a result, the number of subscribers with speeds of 300 megabits per second and above increased by 14% year-over-year, while those with speeds of 1 gigabit per second subscription multiplied impressively. Building on this momentum, we will continue promoting strategic bundlings to support ARPU growth. We also plan to incentivize existing mobile subscriber to add fixed broadband services, further expanding our market share. Slide 7 provides a deeper overview of highlights from our consumer application services. In the second quarter, we were pleased to see solid growth across all consumer service categories. Our multiple packaging, which integrates mobile, fixed broadband and WiFi services achieved impressive year-over-year growth of 26%, marking its 14th consecutive quarters of expansion. This momentum was largely driven by the successful launch of new fixed broadband promotion bundles in May. Our video business also maintained its strong growth trajectory with total subscriptions increasing 6% and the revenues increased 5% on a year basis. This was fueled by the growth of Hami video subscribers, particularly among user seeking live sport content. Additionally, our exclusive investment in Taiwanese dramas and the broadcast of Korean variety shows has attracted a wider user base with a robust pipeline of new content scheduled for release. We are confident in accelerating user growth in the second half of this year. Meanwhile, our consumer cybersecurity services recorded a 20% year-over-year growth, contributing to steady revenue gains in line with our expectations. This performance was driven by our service offering to assist users and the families to block malicious link due to inappropriate content and manage Internet serving scheduling. Slide 8 illustrated the key highlights in our enterprise ICT business. In the second quarter, we are excited by the strong performance of our enterprise ICT business. Group enterprise ICT revenue increased by 27% year-over-year with recurring ICT revenue also rising 25%. Both were encouraging results. Our core service pillars, including IDC, AIoT and cloud remained the primary revenue drivers, delivering robust year-over-year growth of 71% and 40%, respectively. Cybersecurity and 5G private networks also reported a healthy growth of 11% and 150%, respectively. A close look show that demand from the financial and high-tech sectors continue to significantly contribute to the increase in IDC and cloud revenues. In the second quarter, IDC not only accounted for the largest share of absolute revenue growth, but also demonstrated strong future growth potential. Meanwhile, AIoT service saw a sharp revenue increase largely driven by projects related to the smart energy, smart surveillance, smart building and smart transportation. Our 5G private network deployment for the National Culture Center and Exhibition Home delivered a year-over-year revenue increase at 1.5x, while cybersecurity revenue rose 11% in response to growing market demand. Among the newly secured projects in the second quarter, the highlight was our deployment of building remote surveillance platform for correctional institution nationwide. This project integrated the IDC, cybersecurity, AIoT and VPN capabilities to support their smart surveillance operation. We were also proud to share that our AIDC AI data center construction expertise continue to win recognition both domestically and internationally with new contract awards exceeding TWD 1 billion during this quarter. Lastly, we signed a contract to assist the leading petrochemical companies to implement AI-powered image recognition and automatic optical inspection. This solution is expected to extend to other chemical related sectors, generating additional revenue opportunity going forward. Slide 9 illustrated our international subsidiaries performance. In the second quarter, revenue from our international subsidiaries declined by 41% year-over-year, primarily due to the project-based fluctuations resulting from the onetime revenue recognition from the U.S. and the Japan subsidiaries for the same period last year, excluding the higher base sector, their performance actually exceeded our internal expectations for the second quarter. On the other hand, Southeast Asia market delivered double-digit revenue growth driven by the continued demand for the ICT services from high-tech companies. We are pleased to have secured ICT solution contracts in Vietnam and Singapore, which are expected to support continued growth in the region. While global market sentiment remained cautious amid ongoing uncertainty around tariffs and exchange rates, we continue to invest strategically for long-term growth in the United States, Japan and Southeast Asia. In particular, we are targeting overseas AIDC-related construction project for Taiwan-based high-tech firms leveraging our proven capabilities in both air-cooling and liquid-cooling solutions. Now let's move on to the performance summary of our 3 business groups. As mentioned in the beginning, our revenue and profit performance were all better than expected. In line with these results, in the second quarter, our CBG delivered a solid year-over-year increase of 4.8% in income before tax, driven by steady growth in both Mobile and Fixed Broadband ARPU. In addition to stable performance of our core service revenue, CBG also benefited from higher smartphone sales as consumer accelerated their purchase in anticipation of potential tariff fluctuation. Our EBGs exceeded expectations with strong ICT performance. Total revenue rose 12% , while ICT revenue grew even more significantly, up 37% year-over-year. As a result, EBG reported a robust 5.4% increase in income before tax during this quarter. In contrast, our IBG faced headwinds. Revenue and income before tax both declined year-over-year, primarily due to softening demand for international fixed voice services and the decline in international roaming services. Now I would like to hand the call over to Audrey for financial updates.
