Financial performance

5 Basis of preparation Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) . Accordingly, Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are instead presented as a single amount as a profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations in the Group’s Consolidated income statement. Discontinued operations are also excluded from the Group’s segment reporting. The H1 FY24 comparatives have been re-presented to reflect that Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy are discontinued operations and should be used as the basis of comparison to our H1 FY25 results. The disposal of Vodafone Spain completed on 31 May 2024. H1 FY25 results ⫶ November 2024

Germany 42% of Group Adj. EBITDAaL 1

-6.2% Q2 service revenue

-9.3% H1 Adj. EBITDAaL

• Q2 service revenue slowdown due to: − peak MDU impact (-2.6pp QoQ) − almost fully lapping prior year broadband price increases (-1.5pp QoQ) • Mobile service revenue slowdown largely due to third-party reseller one-off reported in Q2 last year • Further details on slides 17-18

Appendix VI KPI definitions

KPI

Definition

KPI

Definition

We regularly measure the reliability of our mobile networks in our controlled European markets (including Turkey) using a combination of internal drive trials and crowdsourced data obtained from an independent benchmarking company. Drive trials are conducted in each market every quarter and assess various customer activities such as voice calls, web browsing, file transfer, video streaming, as well as upload and download data rates. Monthly crowdsourced data monitors other customer experience indicators such as amount of time a device is connected to a 4G or 5G network, as well as sample tests of data rates, latency and data session success rates. Each measure is weighted with an index score for the performance level achieved. Index scores from all measures are aggregated and the total compared to various threshold levels to determine the reliability of the mobile network. A reliability score that achieves at least 85% of the maximum score is considered to have ‘very good’ or better reliability.

Consumer net promotor score (NPS) measures the likelihood that Vodafone and non- Vodafone customers will recommend Vodafone to family, friends and colleagues on a scale of 0 – 10. The aggregated net promoter score can range from -100 to +100. The arrows included within this presentation indicate whether the applicable market’s most recent Consumer NPS is higher, lower or stable in absolute terms compared to the same period from the previous financial year. Detractors are customers who score 0, 1 or 2 in surveys for Lifetime NPS, which only includes Vodafone customers. Lifetime NPS measures the likelihood that existing customers will recommend Vodafone to family, friends and colleagues on a scale of 0 – 10 based on experienced customer journeys. The aggregated net promoter score can range from -100 to +100. The arrows included within this presentation indicate whether the applicable market’s most recent detractor share is higher, lower or stable in absolute terms compared to the same period from the previous financial year. Where no comparable data is available for the equivalent period in the prior year, the earliest available data is used for the comparator. Operating expenditure (opex) includes, but is not limited to, sales and distribution costs, network and IT related expenditure and business support costs. Europe opex savings refers to the reduction in opex in our European markets and Common Functions, excluding energy costs and extraordinary inflation, for example related to wages and salaries. When presenting progress against our Europe opex savings targets, we adjust for M&A and foreign exchange movements during the target period. The employee engagement index is based on a weighted average index of responses to three questions: satisfaction working at Vodafone; experiencing positive emotions at work; and recommending Vodafone as an employer. The aggregated employee engagement score can range from 0 to 100%.

Consumer NPS

Network quality

Detractors

In May 2023, we announced the reduction of roles in Group and markets over a three-year period.

Productivity

Revenue market share represents Vodafone’s share of total communication service revenue in each applicable market (with the exception of South Africa, which is based on mobile service revenue only). The metric is based on internal analysis and public disclosures from competitors and/or regulators. The arrows included within this presentation indicate whether the applicable market’s revenue market share (which may be lagged by one quarter) is higher, lower or stable.
