Growth Total revenue 12,180 12,957 (6.0) Service revenue 10,876 11,453 (5.0) (5.0) Total revenue decreased by 6.0% to €12.2 billion as a result of lower service revenue and equipment revenue. As anticipated, service revenue declined by 5.0% (Q3: -6.4%; Q4: -6.0%), primarily due to a 3.0 percentage point negative impact (Q3: -3.8 percentage points; Q4: -3.3 percentage points) from the end of bulk TV contracting in multi dwelling units (‘MDU’), which came into full effect from July 2024, as well as a lower broadband customer base following the price increases in the prior year. The small improvement in quarterly trends was driven by the lower impact of the TV law change and higher wholesale service revenue, partially offset by lower mobile ARPU.
Fixed service revenue declined by 8.1% (Q3: -10.7%; Q4: -9.7%) due to the cumulative impact of TV and broadband customer losses. The MDU transition had a 5.5 percentage point impact (Q3: -6.8 percentage points; Q4: -5.9 percentage points) on fixed service revenue growth. Excluding this impact, Q4 trends were broadly stable. Mobile service revenue declined by 1.2% (Q3: -1.0%; Q4: -1.2%) as ARPU pressure, due to higher competitive intensity in the market and lower mobile termination rates, was only partially offset by higher wholesale revenue. 1&1 began migrating their customers onto our network in the second half of the year as a part of our long-term national roaming agreement and we continue to expect the migration to reach a full run-rate during H2 FY26. Vodafone Business service revenue declined by 2.3% (Q3: -3.0%; Q4: -2.8%) as price pressure in the mobile segment, in particular from SoHo customers and large corporates optimising spend, as well as lower roaming revenue, was only partially offset by good growth in digital services. Digital services revenue continued to grow strongly, supported by strong demand for our Cloud services which grew by 15.1% in FY25. In March 2025, we announced the launch of our new Cyber Security Centre in Düsseldorf which aims to support SMEs through monitoring and resolving cyber security threats.
