Network integration has boosted service performance ahead of a £11bn plan to expand the standalone 5G infrastructure over the next decade.

Overview

  • VodafoneThree reported group revenue of €9.4bn in the first quarter, up 3.9%, while organic adjusted EBITDAal rose 4.9% to €2.7bn.
  • UK revenues climbed 14.5% year on year to €1.93bn, reflecting the consolidation of Three UK into VodafoneThree.

  • The Three brand will be phased out for business customers over the course of the year as Vodafone maintains a multi-brand strategy for consumer services.
