You may not disseminate these slides or any recording of this conference, in whole or in part, without the prior consent of Vodafone. Following the completion of the sales of Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy, we have updated our financial reporting to recognise that Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy are now discontinued operations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) . Accordingly, except where otherwise noted, the Group’s results exclude Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy. Discontinued operations are also excluded from the Group’s segment reporting.
