For immediate release

                        The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC

                           New segmental presentation

As announced on 24 April 2007, Carphone Warehouse is changing the way it reports
financial performance, effective from the new financial year to March 2008.  We
set out below comparable data in the new format, covering the interim and full
year results for the year to March 2006, and the interim results for the year to
March 2007.

Please note that after a further review of PLC costs, we have included some
additional items to be accounted for centrally.  As a result, we expect PLC
costs in the year to March 2007 to be approximately £37m, compared to previous
guidance of £30m.  For the year to March 2008, we expect this figure to be
approximately £45m.  Neither of these changes to cost allocation has an impact
on overall profitability.

In our preliminary results on 5 June 2007, we will publish full year results in
the old format for the last time, while also providing the full year figures in
the new format.
