The adjusted free cash flow for the three-year period ended on 31 March 2024 was €16.1 billion and equates to vesting under the FCF element of 65.3% of maximum. The chart to the right shows that our TSR performance over the three-year period ended on 31 March 2024 was below the median of the peer group resulting in no vesting under this measure. ESG performance across our three metrics was as follows: – GHG reduction: exceeded GHG reduction of 60% from the FY17 baseline as at 31 March 2024. – Women in management: exceeded 35% representation of women in management at 31 March 2024. – M-Pesa: slightly below ambition of 68.2m connections at 31 March 2024. The Committee reviewed the above performance and determined vesting under the ESG element of 96.9% of maximum. This reflected full achievement under the GHG reduction and the Women in management metrics where ambitions were exceeded, and partial vesting under the M-Pesa metric where strong progress against the stretching ambition was made.
