Change in reporting to reflect reshaped Group

Following the announced sale of Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy, both businesses will now be reported as discontinued operations.¹ The change in reporting will be reflected in our FY24 Group financial results (year ended 31 March 2024).

Therefore, to aid comparability with prior periods and reflect the new reporting structure of the Group (excluding Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy)², pro forma financial information for both FY23 and H1 FY24 is provided below.

A more detailed breakdown is available on our Investor Relations website: investors.vodafone.com.

Notes

1.   Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy will be recognised as discontinued operations until such a time as the transactions complete. The financial results of Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy will continue to be reflected in Vodafone Group's consolidated financial statements. However, the financial results from these businesses will be reported as discontinued operations and will therefore be reported separately from our continuing operations.

2.   Reporting segments will now comprise Germany, UK, Other Europe, Turkey (previously known as 'Other Markets') and Africa (previously known as 'Vodacom').

3.   The pro forma view of our FY23 and H1 FY24 financial results has been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma view of our FY23 and H1 FY24 financial results is based on factually supportable pro forma adjustments, which we consider reasonable. Future results of operations may differ materially from those presented.
