Notes: 1 The results for the years ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022 have been re-presented to reflect that the results of Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy are now reported as discontinued operations. See note 7 ‘Discontinued operations and assets held for sale’ for more information. 2 This segment was previously named Other Markets and the comparative period includes the results of Vodafone Ghana which, as previously reported, was sold in February 2023. Other Markets has been re-named to Turkey because this segment comprised only Vodafone Turkey in the year ended 31 March 2024.
