H1 FY26 Results

11 November 2025

Good H1 performance, expect to deliver upper end of FY26 guidance

"Following the progress of our transformation, Vodafone has built broad-based momentum. In the second quarter we saw service revenue accelerating, with good performances in the UK, Türkiye and Africa, and a return to top-line growth in Germany.

Whilst we have more to do, we delivered good strategic progress in the half year, driving further operational improvements across the business, expanding our customer satisfaction initiatives, and making a fast start in integrating the Vodafone and Three networks in the UK.

Based on our stronger performance, we are now expecting to deliver at the upper end of our guidance range for both profit and cash flow, and as our anticipated multi-year growth trajectory is now under way, we are introducing a new progressive dividend policy, with an expected increase of 2.5% for this financial year."

Financial highlights

6.8%	2.25 eurocents	Expecting to deliver upper end
Adjusted EBITDAaL organic growth	Interim dividend per share	of FY26 financial guidance

− Total revenue: Increased by 7.3% to €19.6 billion in H1 (H1 FY25: €18.3 billion) due to strong service revenue growth and the consolidation of Three UK, partially offset by adverse foreign exchange movements.

− Service revenue: On a reported basis grew by 8.1% to €16.3 billion in H1 (H1 FY25: €15.1 billion) and increased by 5.7% on an organic basis.

− Germany: Returned to growth in Q2 (+0.5%), supported by the end of the TV law change impact and higher wholesale revenue.

− UK: +1.2% organic growth in Q2, strong commercial momentum and fast start on VodafoneThree integration.

− Africa: Maintaining double-digit organic service revenue growth (Q2: 13.5%), supported by above-inflation growth in Egypt and Vodacom's international markets, with strong demand for data and financial services.

− Business: +2.9% organic growth in Q2, with strong demand for digital services.

− Adjusted EBITDAaL: On a reported basis increased by 5.9% to €5.7 billion (H1 FY25: €5.4 billion), and by 6.8% on an organic basis, as service revenue growth in most markets was partially offset by the final impact of the TV law change in Germany and continued commercial investment.

− Operating profit: On a reported basis decreased by 9.2% to €2.2 billion in H1 (H1 FY25: €2.4 billion), with Adjusted EBITDAaL growth offset by higher depreciation and amortisation following the consolidation of Three UK, and lower other income.

− Shareholder returns: €3.0 billion of share buybacks now complete (since May 2024), further €1.0 billion remaining. Next €500 million tranche commences today.

− FY26 guidance1: We now expect to deliver the upper end of our guidance ranges: Adjusted EBITDAaL of €11.3-11.6 billion and Adjusted free cash flow of €2.4-2.6 billion.

− New progressive dividend policy: Reflecting our medium-term outlook for Adjusted free cash flow growth. We expect to grow the FY26 dividend per share by 2.5%.

Operational highlights

− Customers: A fast start to VodafoneThree integration, with immediate improvements to the network. Our new customer service initiative 'Ask Once' has been implemented in three markets, and we have leading NPS positions in 11 markets.

− Simplicity: AI virtual assistant, SuperTobi, live in all European markets reaching 70% end-to-end resolution rate.

− Growth: Strong digital services revenue growth in Business (Q2: 12.2%), Financial services revenue growth in Africa (Q2: 21.8%).

Note:

1FY26 UK merger impact on a 10-month basis of €0.3 billion Adjusted EBITDAaL and -€0.2 billion Adjusted free cash flow.

Operational Progress

During the first half of the year, we delivered good operational progress with our strategic priorities, providing further confidence to generate sustainable Adjusted free cash flow growth over the medium term. We have summarised our progress below, in an accompanying presentation and video Q&A available here: investors.vodafone.com/results.

Germany

− Enhancing our gigabit network infrastructure with the continued fiberisation of our cable network, which once again has been recognised as leading in independent network tests results. Our OXG joint venture's fibre buildout is gaining good momentum and the company has opened sales to 1 million households. We have also nearly completed the successful migration of 12 million 1&1 customers onto our mobile network.

− Investing in customer experience and our brand with further improvements in customer service and a stronger NPS, starting to achieve market leadership in specific customer segments. In May 2025, we announced that Vodafone will be the new main sponsor of eight-time German football champions, Borussia Dortmund, for the next five years.

− Driving value and commercial differentiation with several actions taken to support our front book value in broadband, and the launch of differentiated propositions in mobile, targeting upselling. We have expanded our new mobile device financing offer to all sales channels and launched a five-year warranty, providing customers with greater flexibility and support. In B2B, on 30 October 2025, we announced that we had entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Skaylink enabling our Business and public sector customers to access an enhanced suite of digital services and support.

− Building the strongest connectivity provider with a fast start to our network plans. Three customers have seen improved 4G speeds and we have already upgraded over 5,000 sites enabling Vodafone and Three customers to seamlessly use both networks. By the end of the year we will have removed 16,500km2 of coverage 'not spot' areas.

− Driving cost synergies at pace having signed new long term network partnership agreements and begun both property consolidation and large contract rationalisation programmes, whilst merging and simplifying the two organisations.

− Deepening our market leadership through the cross-selling of our broadband offers to Three customers and Fixed Wireless Access to Vodafone customers, supporting our strong commercial momentum. Three customers are also starting to benefit from Vodafone's market leading customer management processes and a better network experience.

Other Europe and Türkiye

− Strengthening our position in Romania. In October 2025, we completed the acquisition of Telekom Romania Mobile Communications S.A assets for €30 million, increasing our local scale and supporting returns growth.

− Capitalising on our customer experience step-up, we have launched our 'Ask Once' promise in the first two markets setting a new standard in customer service, with four additional markets to follow over the next six months.

− Expanding B2B digital services across our footprint, with 14 product launches in mobility, unified communications and cloud services. We have also been recognised by industry analysts as leaders in 5G mobile private networks, unified communications services and software-defined connectivity solutions.

Africa

− Continuing to scale advanced financial services with 93.7 million financial services customers, including 12.7 million Vodafone Cash customers (Egypt's market-leading mobile wallet). In South Africa, we are supporting financial and digital inclusion through our dual ecosystem, in which we offer leading services to both consumers and merchants, by scaling and diversifying the VodaPay super-app.

Generative AI

− Simplifying customer care at scale through call centre agent assistance, and our GenAI bot, SuperTobi already live in all European markets with a 70% end-to-end resolution rate, and higher customer satisfaction.

− Automating network operations through zero-touch processes, enabling faster, more accurate issue resolution via real-time diagnostics - improving efficiency and boosting customer experience. We have transformed our investment planning for our next generation network infrastructure deployment, by using real-time data to optimise RAN capital allocation and prioritise areas of high consumer impact.

− Supported by a state-of-the-art architecture, with multi-vendor APIs interconnected into our applications, a pan-European data ocean and an integrated team implementing use cases across markets.

Financial Review ⫶ Good H1 performance

Financial results

− Total revenue: Increased by 7.3% to €19.6 billion reflecting strong service revenue growth and the consolidation of Three UK, partially offset by adverse foreign exchange movements.

− Service revenue: Increased by 8.1% to €16.3 billion, and 5.7% on an organic basis. In Q2, German service revenue returned to growth, and we saw continued growth in the UK, Africa and Türkiye. Vodafone Business grew by 2.6% in H1, and by 3.4% on an organic basis, supported by strong demand for digital services.

− Adjusted EBITDAaL: Increased by 5.9% to €5.7 billion (H1 FY25: €5.4 billion), and 6.8% on an organic basis, as service revenue growth in most markets and the consolidation of Three UK was partially offset by the final impact of the TV law change in Germany and continued commercial investments.

− Operating profit: Decreased by 9.2% to €2.2 billion (H1 FY25: €2.4 billion), with Adjusted EBITDAaL growth offset by higher depreciation and amortisation from the consolidation of Three UK, and lower other income.

− Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share from continuing operations was 3.38 eurocents, compared to basic earnings per share of 3.92 eurocents for H1 FY25. The decrease was primarily due to a lower operating profit, and a higher income tax expense, partially offset by a lower weighted average number of shares compared to the comparative period.

Cash flow, funding & dividend

− Cash from operating activities: Decreased by 9.8% to €5.1 billion reflecting cash inflows from discontinued operations in the prior period.

− Adjusted free cash flow: An outflow of €0.6 billion, representing an improvement of €0.4 billion compared to the prior year. This primarily reflects higher Adjusted EBITDAaL and lower capital additions which partially offset higher working capital and tax.

− Net debt: Increased to €25.9 billion compared to €22.4 billion as at 31 March 2025. This was driven by a free cash outflow of €0.8 billion, together with €1.7 billion of additional debt arising from the VodafoneThree merger, equity dividends of €0.6 billion and share buybacks of €1.0 billion. This was offset by other movements of €0.5 billion, principally due to the early repayment of certain bonds.

− Current liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totalled €10.9 billion (€16.3 billion as at 31 March 2025). This includes €0.2 billion of net collateral which has been posted by Vodafone to counterparties as a result of mark-to-market movements on derivative instruments (€1.3 billion posted to Vodafone by counterparties as at 31 March 2025).

− Shareholder returns: The interim dividend per share is 2.25 eurocents (H1 FY25: 2.25 eurocents). The ex-dividend date for the interim dividend is 20 November 2025 for ordinary shareholders and 21 November 2025 for ADR holders, the record date is 21 November 2025 and the dividend is payable on 5 February 2026. Total capital returned to shareholders so far in FY26 totalled €1.5 billion.

4. The H1 FY25 comparative for Net debt excludes an amount of €28 million in respect of Vodafone Italy and Vodafone Spain which were reported as discontinued operations.

Outlook & Dividend Policy

In May 2025, we set out guidance for FY26 for Adjusted EBITDAaL and Adjusted free cash flow.

Based on our performance in H1 and our outlook for the rest of the year, we now expect to deliver at the 'upper end' of our FY26 guidance ranges.

In line with the ambition to grow the dividend within the capital allocation policy announced in February 2024 and having now completed the merger in the UK, we are committing to a progressive dividend policy, reflecting our medium-term outlook for Adjusted free cash flow growth. For FY26 we expect to grow the full year dividend per share by 2.5%. Going forwards the interim dividend will be set each year at 50% of the prior full year dividend.

		FY26 guidance (inc. UK merger)3,4
Adjusted EBITDAaL1 (Group)	€11.3 - €11.6 billion
Adjusted EBITDAaL1 (Europe)	€7.5 - €7.7 billion
Adjusted free cash flow1,2 (Group)	€2.4 - €2.6 billion

Note:

Growth

Total revenue decreased by 2.1% to €6.0 billion as a result of lower service and equipment revenue. Service revenue declined 1.4% (Q1: -3.2%, Q2: 0.5%) including a -1.5 percentage point impact (Q1: -2.9 percentage point, Q2: nil) from the end of bulk TV contracting in Multi Dwelling Units ('MDUs'). Service revenue returned to growth in Q2 supported by the end of the MDU impact and higher mobile wholesale revenue.

Fixed service revenue decreased by 5.2% (Q1: -8.0%, Q2: -2.3%). The MDU transition had a 2.7 percentage point impact (Q1: -5.3 percentage point, Q2: nil). Excluding this, our performance was primarily impacted by lower TV ARPU.

Mobile service revenue grew by 3.3% (Q1: 2.7%, Q2: 3.8%) driven by higher wholesale revenue as we continued to migrate 1&1 customers onto our network, partially offset by ARPU pressure from higher competitive intensity in the mobile market. By the end of Q2, we had successfully migrated 10.5 million 1&1 customers and expect revenues to reach full run-rate in Q4 FY26.

Vodafone Business service revenue declined by 1.2% (Q1: -0.9%, Q2: -1.6%), as pressure in core connectivity services was partially offset by strong digital services demand.

Adjusted EBITDAaL declined by 4.3%, of which a -2.4 percentage point impact related to the MDU transition. Excluding this impact, the decline in Adjusted EBITDAaL was largely driven by the continued impact of higher commercial investment in the prior year. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin was 0.9 percentage points lower year-on-year at 36.5%.

Customers

Our broadband customer base declined by 49,000 in H1 (Q1: -23,000, Q2: -26,000). During H1, our focus remained on driving value through front-book ARPU improvements and lower promotional activity. We continue to be the largest provider of fixed line gigabit connectivity in Germany, as we market gigabit speeds to almost 75% of homes, with 5 million fibre households passed beyond our own cable footprint of 25 million households. Our OXG joint venture's fibre buildout is gaining good momentum with 350,000 households now passed. Our TV customer base increased by 90,000 (Q1: 28,000, Q2: 62,000) reflecting our strategy to bundle basic TV services with broadband. This was partially offset by the ongoing decline in demand for standalone linear TV services.

Our mobile contract customer base declined by 37,000 (Q1, -36,000, Q2: -1,000) in H1, due to low ARPU Business disconnections and the continued reduction of customers through resellers' channels, in the context of a highly competitive mobile market. Contract churn is lower year-on-year, supported by ongoing investments in customer experience. We also connected a further 4.7 million IoT devices.

Operational actions

We continue to invest in our network, customer experience, brand and in Business digital services. Our Net Promoter Score on our cable network continued to improve and is now at its highest-ever level, and we have once again been recognised as a leader in independent network tests results. In May 2025, we announced that Vodafone will be the new main sponsor of eight-time German football champions, Borussia Dortmund, for the next five years. In August 2025, we expanded our new mobile device financing offer to all sales channels and launched a five-year warranty, providing customers with greater flexibility and support. In fixed broadband, we have taken several actions to support our front-book value. On 30 October 2025, we announced that we had entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Skaylink enabling our Business and public sector customers to access an enhanced suite of digital services and support.

Total revenue increased by 27.9% to €4.4 billion due to the consolidation of Three UK's financial results following the completion of the merger on 31 May 2025. Service revenue increased by 26.7%, with organic growth in service revenue of 1.1% (Q1: 0.9%, Q2: 1.2%) as growth in Consumer broadband and Wholesale was partially offset by a decline in Business.

Mobile service revenue grew by 35.8% (Q1: 19.6%, Q2: 51.6%). Organic growth in mobile service revenue was 0.4% (Q1: 0.4%, Q2: 0.4%), as growth in Wholesale was largely offset by a decline in the Three UK Consumer contract base and ARPU pressure in Business.

Fixed service revenue grew by 2.4% (Q1: 3.1%, Q2: 1.8%) and organic growth in fixed service revenue was 3.5% (Q1: 2.7%, Q2: 4.3%) with continued strong growth in Consumer broadband, partially offset by a decline in Business.

Vodafone Business service revenue increased by 0.4% (Q1: -0.8% Q2: 1.5%). On an organic basis, Vodafone Business service revenue decreased by 2.3% (Q1: -3.0%, Q2: -1.7%) due to planned managed services contract terminations and continued mobile ARPU pressure. This was partially offset by good demand for digital services and growth in Three's B2B customer base.

Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 25.0%, and on an organic basis, Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 5.4%, which was largely driven by service revenue growth, increasing margins in broadband, and the phasing of marketing spend. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin decreased by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year to 20.0%, and on an organic basis grew by 1.2 percentage points year-on-year.

Customers

During H1, we continued to build upon our market leading customer experience and launched our industry leading "Just Ask Once" proposition for Vodafone customers.

In mobile, our contract customer base decreased by 32,000 in H1 driven by Three UK contract customer losses, partly offset by good growth in our Fixed Wireless Access ('FWA') offer. In prepaid, our VOXI and SMARTY brands continued to grow well with 104,000 customers added in H1.

In fixed, our customer base increased by 94,000 over the period. We can now serve 21.8 million households with gigabit speeds, having further expanded our footprint through our wholesale strategic agreement with Community Fibre in London.

VodafoneThree Integration

On 31 May 2025, we completed the merger of Vodafone UK and Three UK. Full details of the transaction can be found here: Completion of Vodafone and Three merger in the UK.

VodafoneThree is now the biggest mobile network operator in the UK with 28.8 million customers, with a multi-brand mobile strategy in Consumer through the Vodafone, Three, VOXI, SMARTY and Talkmobile brands. We have made a fast start integrating the two businesses and delivering the best-in-class network and experience we promised our customers.

We have made immediate improvements to our network. Within just two weeks, through sharing of combined spectrum, 7 million Three and SMARTY customers have benefitted from improved 4G speeds of up to 40%. Within a few months, 28.8 million Vodafone and Three customers have started to benefit from seamlessly using both networks with over 5,000 radio sites already upgraded. By the end of the year, we will have removed a total of 16,500 km2 of 'not spot' areas.

Growth

Total revenue was stable year-on-year at €2.8 billion. Service revenue grew by 0.2% (Q1: 0.3%, Q2: 0.1%) and organic service revenue declined 0.1% (Q1: 0.2%, Q2: -0.5%) due to continued ARPU pressure in Portugal as well as Business project phasing.

In Portugal, as anticipated following the launch of a fourth player, service revenue was impacted by lower mobile ARPU, more than offsetting fixed growth. Despite increased competitive intensity in the market, our mobile contract customer base continues to grow. In Ireland, service revenue growth was supported by Business growth and a higher broadband customer base. In Greece, service revenue was broadly stable as growth in mobile was largely offset by the phasing of Business project revenue. In Romania service revenue decline was due to competitive pressure and Business revenue phasing.

Vodafone Business service revenue increased by 0.3% (Q1: 1.6%, Q2: -1.0%), with flat organic growth (Q1: 1.5%, Q2: -1.4%), driven by good growth across most markets offset by public sector revenue phasing in Greece and Romania.

Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 6.5% and on an organic basis, Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 6.1%, supported by a legal one-off in Portugal. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin increased by 1.8 percentage points year-on-year to 29.8%.

Customers

During H1, we added 103,000 mobile contract customers across our six markets, mainly driven by Portugal, Greece, and the Czech Republic, and our broadband base remained broadly stable. In Portugal, we added 77,000 contract customers in mobile and 5,000 in fixed broadband. In Greece, the mobile contract base grew by 54,000, though fixed broadband customers declined by 9,000. In Ireland, our mobile contract customer base declined by 6,000 and the broadband customer base increased by 9,000. Through our fixed wholesale network access partnerships, including our fibre joint venture, SIRO, we now cover over 2.2 million households in Ireland with FTTH.

Portfolio

On 1 October 2025, we completed the acquisition of Telekom Romania Mobile Communications S.A ('TKRM') for €30 million. This transaction strengthens our position in the market, increasing both our local scale and unlocking significant synergy benefits. We have acquired TKRM and its post-paid customer base, while Digi Romania S.A. has acquired TKRM's pre-paid customer business. Both companies have also gained additional spectrum and towers as part of the transaction.

Hyperinflationary accounting in Türkiye

Türkiye was designated as a hyperinflationary economy on 1 April 2022 in line with IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies'. See note 1 'Basis of preparation' in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Organic growth metrics exclude the impact of the hyperinflation adjustment and foreign exchange translation in Türkiye. See page 47 for more information.

Growth

Total revenue increased by 15.1% to €1.6 billion, with service revenue growth partly offset by depreciation of the local currency versus the euro.

Service revenue increased by 55.6% (Q1: 63.8%, Q2: 48.4%) on an organic basis. In euro terms, service revenue growth was 20.3% (Q1: 22.1%, Q2: 18.7%) as reported under IAS 29. Excluding the impact of hyperinflationary accounting adjustments, service revenue increased by 21.6% in euro terms (Q1: 29.6%, Q2: 14.8%). Growth in Türkiye was primarily driven by ongoing price actions, value accretive base management, increased data usage and strong growth in Business.

Vodafone Business service revenue increased by 66.0% (Q1: 72.7%, Q2: 59.8%:) on an organic basis, supported by growth in mobile connectivity, increased data centre usage and demand for digital services.

Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 58.0% on an organic basis, supported by service revenue growth and ongoing digitalisation. Adjusted EBITDAaL continued to grow in euro terms and increased by 23.1% during the period. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin increased by 2 percentage points year-on-year to 30.3%.

Customers

We added 511,000 mobile contract customers during H1, including migrations of prepaid customers. Through our ongoing customer experience initiatives, we have seen a 34% reduction in our share of deep detractors to its lowest ever level.

5G spectrum

On 16 October 2025, Vodafone Türkiye successfully acquired a total of 100 MHz of spectrum in the country's 5G auction, for a total cost of US$627 million (€539 million). Payments will be phased equally over three financial years. Vodafone Türkiye will launch 5G services during 2026. We also renewed all of our existing spectrum holdings, which were due to expire in 2029, until 2042.

Growth

Total revenue increased by 6.6% to €4.0 billion as service revenue was partly offset by the depreciation of local currencies versus the euro. Service revenue increased by 7.9% (Q1: 7.3%, Q2: 8.4%) and organic growth in service revenue was up by 13.7% (Q1: 13.8%, Q2: 13.5%), with growth in South Africa, Egypt and all of Vodacom's international markets.

In South Africa, organic service revenue increased by 2.2% (Q1: 2.9%, Q2: 1.4%) due to growth in the mobile contract segment, supported by price increases, good demand for fixed connectivity and improved performance in Wholesale. This was partially offset by a decline in prepaid, reflecting increased price competition. Financial services revenue continued to perform well with organic growth of 6.3%, supported by demand for insurance products.

Service revenue in Egypt grew by 42.5% (Q1: 43.9%, Q2: 41.2%) on an organic basis, well above inflation driven by sustained customer base growth, good data demand and price actions in prior quarters. Our financial services product, 'Vodafone Cash' continued to grow with revenue increasing by 36.7% and now represents 7.9% of Egypt's service revenue.

In Vodacom's international markets, service revenue grew by 13.7% (Q1: 12.6%, Q2: 14.7%) on an organic basis supported by strong demand for data, an acceleration in M-Pesa revenue and a strong performance in the DRC and Tanzania. Mozambique also returned to growth in Q2. M-Pesa revenue grew by 21.7% in H1 on an organic basis and represents 29.1% of service revenue.

Vodacom Business service revenue grew by 5.7% (Q1: 5.7%, Q2: 5.8%) with organic growth of 11.0% (Q1: 11.2%, Q2: 10.8%), driven by growth in connectivity and strong demand for digital services.

Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 11.0% as the depreciation of local currencies versus the euro was more than offset by organic growth. On an organic basis, Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 17.0% due to service revenue growth, ongoing cost initiatives, and the lapping of prior year one-off impacts in the DRC, which were partially offset by a one-off cost in South Africa. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin increased by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year (1.4 percentage points on an organic basis) to 34.1%.

Customers

In South Africa, we lost 18,000 mobile contract customers in H1 and now have a mobile contract customer base of 6.9 million. Customer NPS continued to improve and is now market-leading. 'VodaPay' grew to 14.1 million registered users, with 3.3 million users added during H1 driven by our insurance, payments and lending marketplace businesses.

In Egypt, we added 197,000 mobile contract customers and 1.5 million prepaid mobile customers, supported by our market-leading NPS and we now have a total of 53.1 million mobile customers. In June 2025, we announced the launch of our 5G commercial services. 'Vodafone Cash' grew to 12.7 million active users, with 1.2 million users added during H1.

In Vodacom's international markets, we added 3.7 million mobile customers in H1, and our mobile customer base is now 63.7 million, with 66.2% of active customers using our data services. Our M-Pesa customer base now totals 27.1 million active users with 1.9 million users added during the period.

Portfolio

On 14 August 2025, South Africa's Competition Appeal Court approved Vodacom's proposed fibre joint venture with Maziv (Proprietary) Limited, with conditions. Vodacom intends to acquire a 30% stake in Maziv, the parent company of Vumatel and Dark Fibre Africa. The transaction is subject to unconditional approval from the telecommunications regulator, ICASA.

Vantage Towers Joint Venture - 44.7% ownership

During H1, total revenue increased by 4.9% to €644 million, supported by 1,027 net new tenancies and 367 new macro sites. As a result, the tenancy ratio increased to 1.54x (31 March 2025: 1.53x). During the period, Vantage Towers distributed €156 million in dividends to Vodafone.

VodafoneZiggo Joint Venture (Netherlands) - 50.0% ownership

In May 2025, VodafoneZiggo announced a new strategic plan to regain commercial momentum, implement a leaner and more agile operating model and accelerate the upgrade of their network to DOCSIS 4.0. During H1, VodafoneZiggo's mobile contract base grew by 9,000 and broadband net additions performance improved throughout the period (Q1: -27,000, Q2: -19,000). In October 2025, the company announced the launch of a new 2 Gbps top speed offer as part of their network upgrade plans. VodafoneZiggo also entered into a strategic partnership with Delta Fiber, expanding its coverage area to over 600,000 additional addresses where the company does not have its own network.

Total revenue decreased 3.1% to €2.0 billion in H1, with declines in both service and non-service revenue. The decline in service revenue was primarily driven by a lower broadband customer base and mobile ARPU in Business. Vodafone's share of net loss in H1 FY26 was €60 million, driven by lower operating income partially offset by higher gains on derivative financial instruments and tax. During the period, Vodafone received €26 million in interest payments.

Safaricom Associate (Kenya) - 27.8% ownership

Safaricom service revenue grew by 4.8% to €1.3 billion, with organic growth of 10.2%. Vodafone's higher share of results was due to a strong result in Kenya and lapping a prior year devaluation in Ethiopia. During H1 FY26, Vodafone received €69 million in dividends from Safaricom.

TPG Telecom Limited Joint Venture (Australia) - 25.1% ownership

TPG Telecom Limited ('TPG') is a fully integrated telecommunications operator in Australia and is listed on the Australian stock exchange. The Group owns an equivalent economic interest of 25.1%, via an 11% direct stake in TPG and a 14% indirect stake, held through a 50:50 joint venture with CK Hutchison. During H1 FY26, the Group received €10 million in dividends from its direct stake in TPG. The Group provides guarantees amounting to US$1.0 billion and €0.6 billion (2024: US$1.0 billion and €0.6 billion) in relation to its 50% share in a multicurrency loan facility held by the joint venture. On 5 August 2025, following the Vocus sale with net proceeds of AU$4.7 billion, TPG Telecom announced a capital management plan including an AU$3 billion capital reduction for shareholders. A Reinvestment Plan will give the opportunity to minority shareholders to reinvest proceeds into new shares at a discount, raising up to AU$688 million. TPG has also repaid AU$1.7 billion in debt, with additional repayments planned from the Reinvestment Proceeds.

Vodafone Idea Limited Joint Venture (India) - 16.1% ownership

On 30 March 2025, Vodafone Idea announced that the government had agreed to convert US$4.3 billion of its outstanding spectrum dues to equity. The Group's shareholding in Vodafone Idea Limited was subsequently diluted to 16.1% in April 2025.

Net financing costs of €49 million (H1 FY25: €277 million) includes a gain of €782 million (HY FY25: €238 million) on certain bonds bought back prior to their maturity dates, and a revaluation gain on Other investments classified at fair value through profit and loss of €242 million in H1 FY25.

Adjusted net financing income of €27 million (H1 FY25: net financing costs of €560 million), excluding the gains from the early redemption of the bonds bought back in each of the respective periods, reflects a decrease in net financing costs due to a lower net debt position compared to the prior period.

Adjusted effective tax rate1	27.4%	18.0%	9.4

Note:

1. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP measure. See page 46 for more information.

The Group's Effective tax rate ('ETR') for H1 FY26 was 50.2%.

The increase in the Group's ETR reflects the one-off €269 million tax charge arising on the write-down of deferred tax balances in Germany as a result of the enacted gradual 5% corporate income tax rate reduction between 2027 and 2032 and a net €42 million tax charge as an effect of hyperinflation accounting adjustments in Türkiye (H1 FY25: €41 million charge).

The Group's Adjusted ETR ('AETR') for H1 FY26 was 27.4% (H1 FY25: 18.0%). This excludes the impact of the German tax rate change, hyperinflation accounting adjustments in Türkiye and the €172 million (H1 FY25: €319 million) deferred tax charge for utilisation of recognised tax losses in Luxembourg. The Group's H1 FY26 AETR is approximately 9% higher than H1 FY25. The H1 FY25 AETR was reduced by higher loss utilisation from lending to Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy, while the related local benefit was excluded in discontinued operations.

The ETR for H1 FY25 reflected a €714 million accounting gain on the sale of an 18% stake in Indus Towers Limited without tax gain, the recognition of a financial liability at fair value of €238 million on the secondary pledge to Indus Towers without a tax credit, €319 million relating to the use of losses in Luxembourg, a €164 million tax charge arising on the €26 million net gain on the disposal of a 10% stake in Oak Holdings GmbH, and a net €41 million tax charge as an effect of hyperinflation accounting adjustments in Türkiye. Those items, when excluded, resulted in an AETR for H1 FY25 of 18.0%.

Note:

1. Adjusted basic earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure. See page 46 for more information.

Basic earnings per share from continuing operations was 3.38 eurocents, compared to basic earnings per share of 3.92 eurocents for H1 FY25. The decrease was primarily due to a lower operating profit, and a higher income tax expense, partially offset by a lower weighted average number of shares compared to the comparative period.

Adjusted basic earnings per share was 6.92 eurocents, compared to 4.84 eurocents for H1 FY25. The increase was primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDAaL and lower adjusted net financing costs arising from a gain of €782 million (HY FY25: €238 million) on certain bonds bought back prior to their maturity dates, which outweighed a higher adjusted tax rate.

Cash inflow from operating activities decreased to €5,092 million, reflecting cash inflows from discontinued operations in the comparative period.

Outflow from investing activities decreased by €4,341 million to €1,874 million, primarily due to proceeds from the disposals of 10% of Oak Holdings 1 GmBH (€1,336 million), 18% of Indus Towers Limited (€1,684 million) and Vodafone Spain (€3,669 million) in the comparative period, which outweighed lower cash outflows from discontinued operations and a higher net inflow in respect of short-term investments. Short-term investments include highly liquid government and government-backed securities and managed investment funds that are in highly rated and liquid money market investments with liquidity of up to 90 days.

Outflows from financing activities decreased to €6,918 million resulting from gains on certain bonds bought back prior to their maturity date, lower cash inflows from discontinued operations and lower dividends paid, which outweighed higher net cash outflows in respect of repayment of borrowings.

4. Includes working capital in respect of integration capital additions.

5. Interest received and paid excludes €291 million outflow (H1 FY25: €208 million outflow) in relation to the cash portion of interest on lease liabilities included within Adjusted EBITDAaL.

6. Other movements in net debt includes €782 million in relation to gains on certain bonds bought back prior to their maturity date. Other movements in net debt for H1 FY25 includes a net outflow from discontinued operations of €224 million, together with the partial repayment of borrowings secured against Indian assets of €1,699 million.

Acquisitions and disposals includes net debt acquired on the merger of Vodafone and Three into VodafoneThree Holdings Limited ('VTHL') in the UK of €2,042 million, offset by €348 million of equity funding injected into VTHL by Hutchison.

Adjusted free cash flow was an outflow of €583 million in the period, representing an improvement of €367 million compared to the comparative period. This primarily reflects higher adjusted EBITDAaL and lower capital additions which outweighed higher working capital and taxation outflows.

Net collateral assets /(liabilities)4	180	(1,347)
Net debt1	(25,939)	(22,397)	(15.8)

Notes:

1. Gross debt and Net debt are non-GAAP measures. See page 46 for more information.

2. Short-term investments includes €579 million (31 March 2025: €2,139 million) of highly liquid government and government-backed securities and managed investment funds of €3,194 million (31 March 2025: €3,141 million) that are in highly rated and liquid money market investments with liquidity of up to 90 days.

3. Derivative and other financial instruments exclude derivative movements in cash flow hedging reserves of €632 million gain (31 March 2025: €575 million gain).

4. Collateral arrangements on derivative financial instruments result in cash being held as security. This is repayable when derivatives are settled and is therefore deducted from liquidity.

Net debt increased by €3,542 million to €25,939 million. This was driven by a free cash outflow of €771 million, together with outflows in relation to acquisitions and disposals mostly related to the merger with Three UK (€1,722 million), equity dividends (€558 million) and share buybacks (€973 million), offset by other movements (€482 million), which was principally due to the early repayment of certain bonds.

Other funding considerations include:

	H1 FY26	Year-end FY25
	€m	€m
Lease liabilities	(12,335)	(10,826)
Pension fund liabilities	(165)	(187)
Guarantees over loan issued by Australia joint venture	(1,407)	(1,479)
Equity characteristic of 50% attributed by credit rating agencies to 'Hybrid bonds' included in net debt, EUR swapped value of €7,594 million (€8,162 million as at 31 March 2025)	3,797	4,081

The Group's gross and net debt includes certain bonds which have been designated in hedge relationships, which are carried at €806 million higher value (€899 million higher as at 31 March 2025) than their euro equivalent redemption value. In addition, where bonds are issued in currencies other than the euro, the Group has entered into foreign currency swaps to fix the euro cash outflows on redemption. The impact of these swaps is not reflected in gross debt and if it were included, the euro equivalent value of the bonds would increase by €460 million (€1,132 million decrease as at 31 March 2025).

Return on capital employed

Return on capital employed ('ROCE') reflects how efficiently we are generating profit with the capital we deploy. We calculate two ROCE measures: i) Pre-tax ROCE for controlled operations only and ii) Post-tax ROCE including associates and joint ventures.

ROCE calculated using GAAP measures for the 12 months ended 30 September 2025 was -0.6% (H1 FY25: 3.9%), impacted by lower operating profit.

The table below presents adjusted ROCE metrics.

	H1 FY26	H1 FY25	Reported
	%	%	Change pps
Pre-tax ROCE (controlled)1	7.2%	7.2%	-
Post-tax ROCE (controlled and associates/joint ventures)1	4.8%	4.6%	0.2

Note:

1. The half-year ROCE calculation is based on returns for the 12 months ended 30 September. ROCE is calculated by dividing Operating profit by the average of capital employed as reported in the consolidated statement of financial position. Pre-tax ROCE (controlled) and Post-tax ROCE (controlled and associates/joint ventures) are non-GAAP measures. See page 46 for more information.

Funding facilities

As at 30 September 2025, the Group had undrawn revolving credit facilities of €7.5 billion comprising euro and US dollar revolving credit facilities of €4.1 billion and US$4.0 billion (€3.4 billion) which mature in 2030 and 2028 respectively. Both committed revolving credit facilities support US and euro commercial paper programmes of up to US$15 billion (€12.8 billion) and €10 billion respectively.

Post employment benefits

As at 30 September 2025, the Group's net surplus of scheme assets over scheme liabilities was €65 million (€55 million net surplus as at 31 March 2025).

Dividends

Dividends will continue to be declared in euros, aligning the Group's shareholder returns with the primary currency in which we generate free cash flow, and paid in euros, pounds sterling and US dollars. The foreign exchange rate at which future dividends declared in euros will be converted into pounds sterling and US dollars will be calculated based on the average World Markets Company benchmark rates over the five business days concluding one week prior to the payment of the dividend.

The Board has announced an interim dividend per share of 2.25 eurocents (H1 FY25: 2.25 eurocents).

The ex-dividend date for the interim dividend is 20 November 2025 for ordinary shareholders and 21 November 2025 for ADR holders, the record date is 21 November 2025 and the dividend is payable on 5 February 2026.

Shareholders may elect to receive their dividend in either eurocents or GBP and the last day for election will be 15 January 2026. Alternatively, shareholders may participate in the dividend reinvestment plan and elections must be made by 15 January 2026. More information can be found at vodafone.com/dividends

See note 9 'Acquisitions and disposals' in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Acquisition of Telekom Romania

On 1 October 2025, Vodafone Romania S.A. ('Vodafone') and Digi Romania S.A. ('Digi') announced that they had completed the acquisition of OTE's subsidiary, Telekom Romania Mobile Communications S.A. ('TKRM').

Vodafone acquired TKRM and its post-paid customer base while Digi acquired its pre-paid customer business. Both companies will also gain additional spectrum and towers as part of the transaction.

Acquisition of Skaylink

On 30 October 2025, the Group announced that it had entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Skaylink GmbH ('Skaylink') for a total consideration of €175 million. Skaylink is a full-service cloud, digital transformation and security specialist with offices throughout Germany and across Europe.

Completion of the transaction is expected by the end of March 2026, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

Risk factors

Principal risks

The key factors and uncertainties that could have a significant effect on the Group's financial performance, include the following:

Adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions

Adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions could result in reduced customer spending, higher interest rates, adverse inflation, or foreign exchange rates. Adverse conditions could also lead to limited debt refinancing options and/or increases in costs

Adverse market competition

Increasing competition could lead to price wars, reduced margins, loss of market share and/or damage to market value.

Adverse regulatory and policy environment

Adverse regulatory measures and policies impacting our strategy could result in increased costs, create a competitive disadvantage, or have a negative impact on our Return on Capital Employed.

Company transformation

Failure to effectively transform Vodafone to adapt to future challenges and demands could increase operational complexity and hinder growth.

Cyber threat

An external attack, insider threat, or supplier breach could cause service interruption or confidential data breaches.

Data management and privacy

Data breaches, misuse of data, data manipulation, inappropriate data sharing, poor data quality or data unavailability could lead to fines, reputational damage, loss of value, loss of business opportunity, and failure to meet our customer expectations.

Disintermediation

Failure to effectively respond to threats from emerging technology or disruptive business models could lead to a loss of customer relevance, market share and new/existing revenue streams.

IT resilience and transformation

Failure or disruptions of IT systems and infrastructure or the inability to modernise and manage the IT environment could negatively impact operations, services, customer experience, or financial performance.

Network resilience and infrastructure competitiveness

Major network outages or ineffective execution of the technology strategy could lead to dissatisfied customers and/or impact revenue.

Supply chain disruption

Disruption in our supply chain could mean that we are unable to execute our strategic plans, resulting in increased cost, reduced choice, and lower network quality.

Watchlist risks

Our watchlist risk process enables us to monitor material risks to Vodafone Group that fall outside our principal risks. We review the watchlist risks as part of the continuous risk management process. Any watchlist risks that increase in their significance to the Group are elevated to principal risks and are treated accordingly. Group watchlist risks include, but are not limited to:

Environmental, Social and Governance ('ESG')

Failure to meet stakeholder expectations on ESG performance and/or reporting may result in reputational damage, customer dissatisfaction, and/or increased cost of capital.

Governance and performance of investments

Inadequate oversight, poor decision-making, and misalignment with strategic objectives, could lead to suboptimal investment outcomes. This risk encompasses the possibility of financial losses, reputational damage, and failure to achieve desired returns on investments.

Legal compliance

Increased number of legal penalties, fines, and damage to the Company's reputation. Additionally, this includes the risk of losing business and customer trust due to breaches of legal requirements.

Tax

Tax risk covers our management of tax across the markets in which we operate and how we respond to changes in tax law, which may have an impact on the Group.

Watchlist risks are reported to the Risk and Compliance Committee and to the Audit and Risk Committee alongside principal risks.

Emerging risks

Emerging risks are characterised by their uncertain nature, constant change, and by their potential to materially affect the achievement of organisational objectives.

We identify new emerging risk trends using inputs from the analysis of the external and internal environments, leveraging both the input from third-party publications and research as well as the knowledge and experience of our internal business experts. Additionally, we consider the time horizon for the identified emerging risks, allowing us to provide the appropriate level of focus and to plan mitigation strategies accordingly.

As the evolution of emerging risks could be nonlinear and the speed of impact is difficult to predict, we have established a continuous process for monitoring emerging risks as an integral part of the Group's enterprise risk management framework. This allows us to be at the forefront of managing emerging risks, periodically assessing whether any of these risks have become material enough to be elevated to the principal risk category.

We split our emerging risks into five different categories: technological, political/regulatory, economic, societal, and business environment, so that the relevant experts across the business have visibility of these risks and can assess the potential impacts and time horizon of these risks. Additionally, deep-dives and scenario analyses have been performed for selected emerging risks with the view to identify potential mitigation strategies should these risks materialise.

Emerging risks are reported to the Risk and Compliance Committee and to the Audit and Risk Committee for further scrutiny.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

1 Basis of preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2025:

● are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and as adopted by the United Kingdom;

● are presented on a condensed basis as permitted by IAS 34 and therefore do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a full set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025;

● apply the same accounting policies, presentation and methods of calculation as those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ('IAS'), with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the IASB and with the requirements of the UK Companies Act 2006. Income taxes are accrued using the tax rate that is expected to be applicable for the full financial year, adjusted for certain discrete items which occurred in the interim period in accordance with IAS 34.

● include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented;

● do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the UK Companies Act 2006; and

● were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 November 2025.

The information relating to the year ended 31 March 2025 is extracted from the Group's published Annual Report for that year, which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and on which the auditor's report was unqualified and did not contain any emphasis of matter of statements under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the UK Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could vary from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Going concern

The Group has €7.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents as at 30 September 2025 which, together with undrawn revolving credit facilities of €7.5 billion, cover all of the Group's reasonably expected cash requirements over the going concern period. The Directors have reviewed trading and liquidity forecasts for the Group, which were based on current trading conditions, and considered a variety of scenarios. As a result of the assessment performed, the Directors have concluded that the Group is able to continue in operation for the period up to and including December 2026 and that it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

1 Basis of preparation (continued)

Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The Group's critical accounting judgements and estimates are disclosed in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Potential indicators of impairment

The Group performs its annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as at 31 March.

At interim reporting periods the Group performs a review to identify any indicator of impairment that may indicate that the carrying amount of any of the Group's cash generating units ('CGUs') may not be recoverable. As part of this assessment as at 30 September 2025, the Group reviewed the key assumptions underlying the value in use valuations used in the annual impairment test at 31 March 2025. This included the year-to-date and expected future performance of the Group's CGUs, as well as considering the valuation implications of changes in other factors such as discount rates and the assessment of long term growth rates.

The Group's review of the potential impact of indicators of impairment did not indicate that the carrying amount of any of the Group's CGUs was not recoverable as at 30 September 2025.

Control of subsidiaries

The Group controls an entity for accounting purposes, and consolidates it as a subsidiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that affect the entity's profitability and has exposure, through its shareholding, to the resulting profits or losses. Where minority shareholders have rights in an entity which do not allow participation in such decisions in the ordinary course of business then these are considered to be 'protective rights' that do not impair the Group's control of the entity for accounting purposes. The Group has concluded that it controls VodafoneThree Holdings Limited ('VTHL') through its 51% shareholding and associated rights. In certain very limited circumstances, including the significant financial underperformance of VTHL, CK Hutchison Group Telecom Holdings Limited may acquire additional rights that might result in the Group's loss of control of VTHL for accounting purposes.

Hyperinflationary economies

The Turkish economy was designated as hyperinflationary from 30 June 2022. The Ethiopian economy was designated as hyperinflationary from 31 December 2022, until 31 March 2025. The Group has applied IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies' to its Turkish operations, whose functional currency is Turkish lira, from 1 April 2022, and to the Ethiopian operations, whose functional currency is Ethiopian Birr, from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2025.

In applying IAS 29, the Turkish lira and Ethiopian birr results and non-monetary asset and liability balances for relevant financial periods have been revalued to their present value equivalent local currency amounts at the reporting date, based on the consumer price indexes issued by the Turkish Statistical Institute and the Central Statistics Agency of Ethiopia, respectively. Comparative periods are not restated per IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange rates'. The Turkish index has risen by 14.0% (2024: 18.1%) during the six months ended 30 September 2025. The revalued balances are translated to euros at the reporting date exchange rate of €1 : 48.86 TRL (2024: €1 : 38.15 TRL), applying IAS 21.

For the Group's operations in Türkiye:

● The gain or loss on the revaluation of net monetary assets resulting from IAS 29 application is recognised in the Consolidated income statement within Other income.

● The Group also presents the gain or loss on cash and cash equivalents as monetary items together with the effect of inflation on operating, investing and financing cash flows as one number in the Consolidated statement of cash flows.

● The Group has presented the equity revaluation effects and the impact of currency movements within other comprehensive income as such amounts are judged to meet the definition of 'exchange differences'.

2 Segmental analysis

Operating segments

The Group's operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Group that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group has determined the chief operating decision maker to be its Chief Executive. The Group has a single group of similar services and products, being the supply of communications services and related products.

Revenue is attributed to a country based on the location of the Group company reporting the revenue. Transactions between operating segments are charged at arm's-length prices.

The operating segments for Germany, UK, Türkiye and Africa are individually material for the Group and are each reporting segments for which certain financial information is provided. The aggregation of smaller operating segments into the Other Europe reporting segment reflects, in the opinion of management, the similar local market economic characteristics and regulatory environments for each of those operating segments as well as the similar products and services sold and comparable classes of customers. The Other Europe reporting segment (Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Romania, Czech Republic and Albania), largely reflects countries with membership of, or a close association with, the European Union. Common Functions is a separate reporting segment and comprises activities which are undertaken primarily in central Group entities that do not meet the criteria for aggregation with other reporting segments.

Revenue disaggregation

Revenue reported for the period includes revenue from contracts with customers, comprising service and equipment revenue, as well as other revenue items including revenue from leases and interest revenue arising from transactions with a significant financing component. The tables below and overleaf disaggregate the Group's revenue by reporting segment.

Note:

1. The increase in the utilisation of deferred tax assets in the UK during the six months ended 30 September 2025 was primarily attributable to the one-off gain of €782 million on certain bond buybacks. See page 15 for further information.

Deferred tax on losses in Luxembourg

The tax charge for the six months ended 30 September 2025 includes a deferred tax charge of €172 million on the use of losses in Luxembourg. The Group does not currently recognise deferred tax assets forecasted to be used more than 60 years beyond the balance sheet date. We continue to expect to recover the remaining losses within 47 to 52 years as disclosed as at 31 March 2025. The actual use of these losses and the period over which they may be used is dependent on many factors including the level of profitability in Luxembourg, changes in tax law and any changes to the structure of the Group.

Further details about the Group's tax losses can be found in Note 6 'Taxation' to the consolidated financial statements of Vodafone Group Plc for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Deferred tax assets in the UK

Following the merger of Vodafone and Three in the UK, Vodafone UK has left the existing ('legacy') UK tax group and formed a new ('VodafoneThree') UK tax group with Three UK. Deferred tax assets of €2,140 million and €407 million have been recognised in respect of fixed asset and other temporary differences in the VodafoneThree and legacy tax groups respectively.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

3 Taxation (continued)

The VodafoneThree tax group's deferred tax asset is supported by the forecast taxable profit of the newly combined business and is expected to be recovered over the next 30 years.

As part of the merger, VodafoneThree also acquired €4,869 million unrecognised brought-forward gross tax losses and a further €2,975 million of gross tax losses were generated as a result of day-one accounting policy and estimate changes. Due to greater flexibility available for using current year-losses, €752 million of these losses are forecast to be utilised in FY26. No deferred tax asset has been recognised for the remaining carried forward losses, as it is uncertain whether these will be utilised.

The legacy tax group's deferred tax asset is supported by forecast taxable profits from ongoing group service activities, brand-related income, and net financing income - including income from the £6,010 million loan advanced to VodafoneThree Holdings Limited - and is expected to be recovered over the next 31 years.

4 Discontinued operations and disposals

Where operations constitute a separately reportable segment and have been disposed of, or are classified as held for sale, the Group classifies such operations as discontinued. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement. Discontinued operations are also excluded from segment reporting. All other notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise.

Transactions between the Group's continuing and discontinued operations are eliminated in full in the consolidated income statement. To the extent that the Group considers that the commercial relationships with discontinued operations will continue post-disposal, transactions are reflected within continuing operations with an opposite charge or credit reflected within the results of discontinued operations resulting in a net nil impact on the Group's Profit for the financial year for the years presented.

Disposal of Vodafone Spain

The disposal of Vodafone Spain completed on 31 May 2024 and resulted in a loss on disposal for the year ended 31 March 2025 of €148 million.

Disposal of Vodafone Italy

The disposal of Vodafone Italy completed on 31 December 2024 and resulted in a loss on disposal for the year ended 31 March 2025 of €1,133 million.

9 Acquisitions and disposals

Purchase of subsidiaries

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree, if any, over the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The interest of the non-controlling shareholders in the acquiree may initially be measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling shareholders' proportion of the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.

The aggregate cash consideration in respect of the purchase of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired, is summarised below.

Merger of Vodafone and Three in the UK

On 31 May 2025, the Group and CK Hutchison Group Telecom Holdings Limited ('CKHGT'), a wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited ('Hutchison'), transferred their UK telecommunication businesses, respectively Vodafone Limited ('Vodafone UK') and Three UK Limited ('Three UK'), into VodafoneThree Holdings Limited ('VTHL'). Following completion, VTHL is a subsidiary of the Group, in which the Group owns 51% of the issued share capital and CKHGT indirectly owns 49%, and Vodafone UK and Three UK are wholly owned subsidiaries of VTHL.

Consideration paid by the Group to Hutchison was 49% of Vodafone UK's equity, subject to closing adjustments that will be settled in cash. Vodafone UK and Three UK were contributed with differential debt amounts owing to their respective shareholders at closing to achieve the required ownership structure. The Group advanced loans of £6,010 million to VTHL, of which £1,684 million was utilised to settle Three UK's outstanding debt with Hutchison. In addition, Vodafone and Hutchison jointly contributed, in proportion to their shareholdings, £600 million of equity funding on completion, with a further £200 million committed which VTHL can draw if required.

As part of the transaction, Vodafone and Hutchison agreed a framework to enable Vodafone to acquire Hutchison's 49% shareholding in VTHL through a Vodafone call or a Hutchison put option which may be exercised at fair market value, subject to customary third party approvals and consents, and settled in cash or new Vodafone Group Plc shares, at the Group's option, subject to certain conditions. The call and put options will become exercisable after three full financial years following closing, providing that the fair market enterprise value of VTHL reaches a minimum of £16.5 billion until after the seventh financial year following completion, when this threshold will cease to apply to the exercise of the Hutchison put option. As the Group has the ability to settle the put option with Vodafone Group Plc shares, no put option liability will initially be recorded.

Under the agreed terms for the regulatory approval of the acquisition, the Group has made commitments to upgrade a number of network sites over an 8-year period. VodafoneThree intends to invest £11 billion (€12.6 billion) in the UK over the next 10 years and, as part of this commitment, has contracted with suppliers for network upgrades for an expected cost of over £2 billion (€2.3 billion) over the next 8 years.

9 Acquisitions and disposals (continued)

A purchase price allocation has been performed as at the acquisition date. The allocation remains provisional due to the volume and nature of assets and liabilities being assessed. The provisional purchase price allocation is set out in the table below.

Net identifiable assets acquired	2,286
Non-controlling interests	(1,120)

Total Consideration	2,509

Notes:

1. Identifiable intangible assets of €2,555 million consisted of acquired licences of €975 million, Computer software of €887 million, Customer relationships of €467 million and Brand of €226 million.

2. The goodwill is attributable to future profits to be generated from new customers and the synergies expected to arise after the Group's acquisition of the business. Other than the above addition relating to the UK merger, and foreign exchange movements, there were no other changes to the Group's reported goodwill in the six months ended 30 September 2025.

Transaction costs of €31 million were charged to Other income in the Group's consolidated income statement in the six months ended 30 September 2025.

From the date of acquisition, the acquired entities have contributed €943 million of revenue and a loss of €209 million towards the profit for the financial period of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the financial period, revenue would have been €20,105 million and the profit for the financial period would have been €946 million.

As part of the merger of Vodafone and Three in the UK, the Group gave up a 49% interest in Vodafone UK to Hutchison, with consideration taking the form of 51% of Three UK's equity, subject to closing adjustments that will be settled in cash. The Group recognised non-controlling interests of €1,144 million and a net gain of €697 million in retained earnings in relation to this transaction.

Additionally, non-controlling interests of €348 million were recognised in relation to Hutchison's proportionate contribution to the £600 million equity funding raised by VTHL on closing.

Disposal of subsidiaries

The difference between the carrying value of the net assets disposed of and the fair value of consideration received is recorded as a gain or loss on disposal. Foreign exchange translation gains or losses relating to subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates that the Group has disposed of, and that have previously been recorded in other comprehensive income or expense, are also recognised as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Aggregate cash consideration in respect of the disposal of subsidiaries, net of cash disposed, for the six months ended 30 September 2025 was €nil (six months ended 30 September 2024: €3,578 million).

Vodafone Spain

In the comparative period, on 31 May 2024, the Group announced it had completed the sale of Vodafone Holdings Europe, S.L.U. ('Vodafone Spain') to Zegona Communications plc ('Zegona') for €4,069 million in cash (subject to closing accounts adjustments) and up to €900 million of non-cash consideration in the form of redeemable preference shares. €400 million of the cash received relates to future services to be provided by the Group to Zegona and has been deferred on the Group's statement of financial position. The disposal resulted in a loss on disposal of €148 million.

Indus Towers

In the comparative period, on 19 June 2024, the Group announced the sale of an 18% stake in Indus Towers Limited ('Indus') through an accelerated book-building offering ('placing'). The placing raised €1,684 million in gross proceeds. The Group sold its remaining 3.0% interest in Indus on 5 December 2024 for €329 million. A net gain on disposal of €714 million was recorded within Other income in the consolidated income statement.

Notes:

1. The fair value of assets and liabilities are classified in the Fair Value hierarchy as follows: Level 1 comprises items where the fair value is determined by unadjusted quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 comprises items where the fair value is determined from inputs other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly by unadjusted market quoted prices in active markets and market accepted valuation techniques. Level 3 comprises items where the fair value is determined by including one or more unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology.

2. Items are measured at fair value and the valuation basis is Level 1.

3. Quoted debt and equity securities of €1,504 million (31 March 2025: €2,811 million) are measured at fair value and classified as Level 1. Further equity and debt securities of €3,234 million (31 March 2025: €3,177 million) are measured at fair value and classified as Level 2. The remaining balance represents the Group's investments in Zegona ordinary shares of €960 million (31 March 2025: €937 million) and convertible loan notes of €13 million, (31 March 2025: nil), measured at fair value and classified as Level 3 due to some of the inputs to the valuation model being unobservable inputs.

4. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value and classified as Level 2. €2,882 million (31 March 2025: €4,064 million) of derivative and other financial assets and €2,336 million (31 March 2025: €1,824 million) of derivative and other financial liabilities are classified as Non-current.

5. Trade receivables at fair value through Other comprehensive income are measured at fair value and classified as Level 2. Of this, €471 million (31 March 2025: €289 million) are classified as Non-current.

The fair value of the Group's financial assets held at amortised cost approximates their fair value.

The fair value of the Group's financial liabilities held at amortised cost approximate to fair value with the exception of long-term bonds with a carrying value of €31,514 million (31 March 2025: €34,873 million). These bonds have a fair value at 30 September 2025 of €29,622 million (31 March 2025: €31,325 million), based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 financial instruments

Investment in Zegona ordinary shares

Following the completion of the sale of Vodafone Spain on 31 May 2024, the Group received the non-cash consideration component in the form of €900 million Redeemable Preference Shares ('RPS') issued by EJLSHM Funding Ltd ('EJLSHM'). The RPS will be redeemed 6 years after completion, or earlier if there is a material liquidity event or exit from Zegona that releases funds to its shareholders. The RPS have a nominal value, including accrued interest, of €960 million at 30 September 2025 (31 March 2025: €937 million).

EJLSHM subscribed for new ordinary shares in Zegona, equivalent to the value of the RPS, the future proceeds from which will be used to repay the RPS. Per the contractual arrangement, these ordinary shares do not carry voting rights, and their value is capped at the nominal value, including accrued interest, of the RPS. EJSHM is a consolidated special purpose entity for the Group, resulting in the elimination of the RPS and the recognition of an investment in the Zegona shares for the Group. The Zegona shares are recorded at fair value through profit and loss and have a fair value of €960 million on 30 September 2025 (31 March 2025: €937 million).

The valuation approach for the Zegona shares reflects the contractual terms of the RPS arrangement and utilises a bespoke option model which draws on observable Level 2 market data inputs, including bond yields, share prices, and foreign exchange rates. The model also includes certain key inputs that requires judgement. These include the timing on when EJLSHM will sell its shares in Zegona to settle its RPS liability to the Group, Zegona's share price volatility and the share's expected dividend yield.

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

10 Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The only judgement that could have a material impact on the valuation is the Zegona share price volatility. An increase/(decrease) of the share price volatility by 10% would have €nil impact due to fair value being capped at the nominal value of the RPS, including accrued interest at 30 September 2025.

11 Contingent liabilities and legal proceedings

Note 29 'Contingent liabilities and legal proceedings' to the consolidated financial statements of Vodafone Group Plc for the year ended 31 March 2025 sets forth the Group's contingent liabilities and legal proceedings as of 31 March 2025. There have been no material changes to the Group's contingent liabilities or legal proceedings during the period covered by this report, except as disclosed below.

Legal proceedings

VISPL tax claims

In 2025, Vodafone India Services Private Limited ('VISPL') participated in a tax amnesty scheme to resolve historical tax disputes with the Indian tax authority predominantly relating to Vodafone's acquisition of Hutchison Essar (later renamed as 'Vodafone India Limited'). The scheme concluded in July resulting in an income statement tax charge of €185 million and a net cash outflow of €114 million after applying credits and offsets. All corporate guarantees provided by Vodafone International Holdings B.V. have now been discharged and all related court proceedings have now been fully withdrawn or closed, including those before the Supreme Court.

Germany: investigation by competition authority regarding 1&1

In December 2021 1&1 entered into an agreement with Vantage Towers for the provision of infrastructure for tower sites. Vantage Towers sub-contracted certain aspects of the delivery under the agreement to Vodafone Germany.

In March 2023, Vodafone Germany and Vodafone Group (together 'Vodafone') were informed that 1&1 had submitted a complaint to the Bundeskartellamt ('BkA'), the competition authority in Germany, alleging infringements of competition law. Following the start of a formal investigation in June 2023, the BkA issued a Statement of Objections on 11 April 2025 with its view that the delayed provision by Vodafone and Vantage Towers of the contractually agreed tower sites acted as an obstacle to 1&1's market entry and an abuse of relative market power. Vodafone submitted its response to the Statement of Objections to the BkA on 2 July 2025. Vodafone has received a letter from the BkA stating that, if an infringement decision is issued, it is likely to include an order for disgorgement of the alleged economic advantage obtained as a result of the alleged infringement.

While the outcome is uncertain, the Group believes it has strong defences and that it is probable no present obligation exists.

11 Contingent liabilities and legal proceedings (continued)

South Africa: Kenneth Makate v Vodacom (Pty) Limited

Mr Kenneth Makate, a former employee of Vodacom Pty Limited ('Vodacom South Africa'), started legal proceedings in 2008 claiming compensation for a business idea that led to the development of a service known as 'Please Call Me' ('PCM').

In April 2016, the Constitutional Court of South Africa ('the Constitutional Court') ordered the parties to negotiate, in good faith, and agree a reasonable compensation amount payable to Mr Makate or, in the event of a deadlock, for the matter to be referred to Vodacom Group's Chief Executive Officer ('the CEO') to determine such compensation amount. In accordance with the Constitutional Court order, and after negotiations failed, the CEO issued his determination on 9 January 2019. The CEO's award of R47million (€2.3 million) was rejected by Mr Makate, who subsequently challenged the CEO's determination of the compensation amount through the courts.

In February 2024, the Supreme Court of Appeal ('the SCA') ruled that Mr Makate was entitled to a compensation amount in the range between 5% - 7.5% of revenues earned by Vodacom South Africa from its PCM service, plus interest, from March 2001 to the date of the judgement.

Vodacom South Africa appealed this judgement to the Constitutional Court and the SCA's judgement and order was set aside in July 2025. The matter was remitted to the SCA and was due to be reheard by a differently constituted panel of judges on 18 November 2025.

On 4 November 2025, a settlement between Vodacom South Africa and Mr Makate was agreed. Vodacom South Africa has notified the SCA of the withdrawal of its appeal. The settlement, which is for an immaterial amount, has been accounted for in the Group's interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025.

UK: Phones 4U in Administration v Vodafone Limited, Vodafone Group Plc and Others

In December 2018, the administrators of former UK indirect seller, Phones 4U, sued the three main UK mobile network operators ('MNOs'), including Vodafone, and their parent companies in the English High Court. The administrators alleged collusion between the MNOs to withdraw their business from Phones 4U thereby causing its collapse. The trial on liability took place from May to July 2022. On 10 November 2023, the High Court issued a judgement in Vodafone's favour and rejected Phones 4U's allegations that the defendants were in breach of competition law, consistent with Vodafone's previously stated position that a present obligation does not exist. Phones 4U was granted permission to appeal and the appeal hearing took place before the Court of Appeal from 19 - 23 May 2025. The Court of Appeal rejected all of Phones 4U's grounds of appeal in a judgement delivered on 11 July 2025. Phones 4U has confirmed that it does not intend to seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.

UK: Mr Justin Gutmann v Vodafone Limited and Vodafone Group Plc

In November 2023, Mr Gutmann issued claims in the Competition Appeal Tribunal ('CAT') seeking permission, as a proposed class representative, to bring collective proceedings on an opt-out basis against the four UK mobile network operators ('MNOs') and, in the case of Vodafone Limited and EE Limited, their respective parent companies. Vodafone Group Plc and Vodafone Limited are named defendants to one of the claims with an alleged value of £1.4 billion (€1.6 billion), including interest. Hutchison 3G UK Limited ('Three'), which merged with Vodafone Limited in May 2025, is also a named defendant to the claim with an alleged value of £507 million (€578 million), including interest. It is alleged that Vodafone, Three, and the other MNOs used their alleged market dominance to overcharge customers after the expiry of the minimum terms of certain mobile contracts (referred to as a 'loyalty penalty'). A hearing took place before the CAT from 31 March to 2 April 2025 to determine Mr Gutmann's application for certification of the class and Vodafone and Three's applications for strike out of certain parts of the claim based on limitation. The decision is expected later this year.

Taking into account all available evidence at this stage, the Group's assessment is that the allegations are without merit and it intends to defend the claim. The Group is currently unable to estimate any possible loss in regards to this issue but, while the outcome is uncertain, the Group believes it is probable that no present obligation exists.

Independent review report to Vodafone Group Plc

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Vodafone Group Plc (the Company) to review the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2025 which comprises the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes 1 to 13 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' (ISRE) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in note 1 'Basis of preparation', the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards ('IAS'), with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the IASB and with the requirements of the UK Companies Act 2006. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and as adopted by the United Kingdom.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the Directors

The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half-yearly report, we are responsible for expressing to the Company a conclusion on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Non-GAAP measures

Performance metrics

Non-GAAP measure	Purpose	Definition
Adjusted EBITDAaL	Adjusted EBITDAaL is used in conjunction with financial measures such as operating profit to assess our operating performance and profitability. It is a key external metric used by the investor community to assess performance of our operations. It is our segment performance measure in accordance with IFRS 8 (Operating Segments).	Adjusted EBITDAaL is operating profit after depreciation on lease-related right of use assets and interest on lease liabilities but excluding depreciation, amortisation and gains/losses on disposal of owned assets and excluding share of results of equity accounted associates and joint ventures, impairment losses/reversals, restructuring costs arising from discrete restructuring plans, other income and expense and significant items that are not considered by management to be reflective of the underlying performance of the Group.

Adjusted EBITDAaL margin

Adjusted EBITDAaL margin is Adjusted EBITDAaL divided by Revenue.

Organic growth

Organic growth presents performance on a comparable basis, excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, mergers and acquisitions, the hyperinflation adjustment in Türkiye and other adjustments to improve the comparability of results between periods.

Organic growth is calculated for revenue and profitability metrics, as follows:

- Revenue;

- Service revenue;

- Mobile service revenue;

- Fixed service revenue;

- Vodafone Business service revenue;

- South Africa - Financial services revenue;

- Vodacom International M-Pesa revenue;

- Egypt - Financial services revenue (Vodafone Cash);

- Adjusted EBITDAaL; and

- Adjusted EBITDAaL margin

Whilst organic growth is not intended to be a substitute for reported growth, nor is it superior to reported growth, we believe that the measure provides useful and necessary information to investors and other interested parties for the following reasons: (i) It provides additional information on underlying growth of the business without the effect of certain factors unrelated to its operating performance; (ii) It is used for internal performance analysis; and (iii) It facilitates comparability of underlying growth with other companies (although the term 'organic' is not a defined term under GAAP and may not, therefore, be comparable with similarly-titled measures reported by other companies). We have not provided a comparative in respect of organic growth rates as the current rates describe the change between the beginning and end of the current period, with such changes being explained by the commentary in this document. If comparatives were provided, significant sections of the commentary for prior periods would also need to be included, reducing the usefulness and transparency of this document.

Service revenue growth in Türkiye excluding the impact of the hyperinflationary adjustment

This growth metric presents performance in Türkiye excluding the hyperinflationary adjustment recorded in the Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies'.

Return on Capital Employed

Non-GAAP measure	Purpose	Definition
Return on Capital Employed ('ROCE')	ROCE is a metric used by the investor community and reflects how efficiently we are generating profit with the capital we deploy.	We calculate ROCE by dividing Operating profit by the average of capital employed as reported in the consolidated statement of financial position. Capital employed includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents, derivative and other financial instruments included in trade and other receivables/payables, short-term investments, non-current investments in sovereign securities, collateral assets, financial liabilities under put option arrangements and equity.
Pre-tax ROCE (controlled) Post-tax ROCE (controlled and associates/joint ventures)	As above	We calculate pre-tax ROCE (controlled) by using Operating profit excluding interest on lease liabilities, restructuring costs arising from discrete restructuring plans, impairment losses/reversals, other income and expense, the impact of hyperinflationary adjustments and the share of results of equity accounted associates and joint ventures. On a post-tax basis, the measure includes our Adjusted share of results from associates and joint ventures and a notional tax charge. Capital is equivalent to net operating assets and is based on the average of month end capital employed balances during the period of: property, plant and equipment (including leased assets and lease liabilities), intangible assets (including goodwill), operating working capital (including held for sale assets and excluding derivative balances) and provisions, excluding the impact of hyperinflationary adjustments. Other assets that do not directly contribute to returns are excluded from this measure and include other investments, current and deferred tax balances and post employment benefits. On a post-tax basis, ROCE also includes our investments in associates and joint ventures.

ROCE using GAAP measures

The table below presents the calculation of ROCE using GAAP measures as reported in the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purpose of the half-year ROCE calculation, the returns are based on the 12 months ended 30 September and the denominator is based on the average of 12 month end capital employed balances from the opening position, and ending at 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2025 of the respective years.

This document contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Group's financial condition, results of operations and businesses and certain of the Group's plans and objectives. In particular, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: the Group's portfolio transformation plan; expectations regarding the Group's financial condition or results of operations and the guidance for Adjusted EBITDAaL and Adjusted free cash flow for the financial year ending 31 March 2026; the acquisition of Telekom Romania; the announced potential acquisition of Skaylink; changes to German TV laws and the migration of users to individual TV customer contracts; expectations for the Group's future performance generally; the Group's share buyback programme; expectations regarding the operating environment and market conditions and trends, including customer usage, competitive position and macroeconomic pressures, price trends and opportunities in specific geographic markets; intentions and expectations regarding the development, launch and expansion of products, services and technologies, either introduced by Vodafone or by Vodafone in conjunction with third parties or by third parties independently; expectations regarding the integration or performance of current and future investments, associates, joint ventures, non-controlled interests and newly acquired businesses; the impact of regulatory and legal proceedings involving the Group and of scheduled or potential regulatory changes; certain of the Group's plans and objectives, including the Group's strategy.

Forward-looking statements are sometimes but not always identified by their use of a date in the future or such words as 'will', 'may', 'expects', 'believes', 'continue', 'plans', 'further', 'ongoing', 'progress', 'targets' or 'could'. By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to the following: general economic and political conditions in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates and changes to the associated legal, regulatory and tax environments; increased competition; levels of investment in network capacity and the Group's ability to deploy new technologies, products and services, including artificial intelligence; the Group's ability to optimise its portfolio in line with its business transformation plan; evolving cyber threats to the Group's services and confidential data; rapid changes to existing products and services and the inability of new products and services to perform in accordance with expectations; the ability of the Group to integrate new technologies, products and services with existing networks, technologies, products and services; the Group's ability to generate and grow revenue; slower than expected impact of new or existing products, services or technologies on the Group's future revenue, cost structure and capital expenditure outlays; slower than expected customer growth, reduced customer retention, reductions or changes in customer spending and increased pricing pressure; the Group's ability to extend and expand its spectrum resources, to support ongoing growth in customer demand for mobile data services; the Group's ability to secure the timely delivery of high-quality products from suppliers; loss of suppliers, disruption of supply chains, shortages and greater than anticipated prices of new mobile handsets; changes in the costs to the Group of, or the rates the Group may charge for, terminations and roaming minutes; the impact of a failure or significant interruption to the Group's telecommunications, data centres, networks, IT systems or data protection systems; the Group's ability to realise expected benefits from acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, associates, franchises, brand licences, platform sharing or other arrangements with third parties, including the combination of Vodafone's UK business with Three UK, the mobile network sharing agreement with Virgin Media O2 and the Group's strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Google; acquisitions and divestments of Group businesses and assets and the pursuit of new, unexpected strategic opportunities; the Group's ability to integrate acquired business or assets; the extent of any future write-downs or impairment charges on the Group's assets, or restructuring charges incurred as a result of an acquisition or disposal; developments in the Group's financial condition, earnings and distributable funds and other factors that the Board takes into account in determining the level of dividends; the Group's ability to satisfy working capital requirements; changes in foreign exchange rates; changes in the regulatory framework in which the Group operates; the impact of legal or other proceedings against the Group or other companies in the communications industry; and changes in statutory tax rates and profit mix.

A review of the reasons why actual results and developments may differ materially from the expectations disclosed or implied within forward-looking statements can be found in the summary of our principal risks in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Annual Report can be found on the Vodafone Group's website (investors.vodafone.com/results).
