INFORMATION RELATING TO INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') is publishing today additional information to assist investors and analysts in their understanding of Vodafone's results for the quarter ended 30 June 2008 to be announced on 22 July 2008.

Visitor revenue and revenue from Mobile Virtual Network Operators, or MVNOs, are now reported in the line 'other service revenue'. This revenue was previously reported within each of the lines for voice, messaging and data revenue. Visitor revenue represents the amounts received by a Vodafone operating company when customers of another operator, including those of other Vodafone companies, roam onto its network. Visitor revenue previously reported within data revenue will continue to be included in the measurement of total communications initiatives. 

The calculation of ARPU has also been revised and now excludes fixed line revenue, fixed advertising revenue and revenue related to business managed services. 

A spreadsheet with the revised historical comparisons to the information that will be released on 22 July 2008 is available on www.vodafone.com/investor.
