In the same financial statement, Group Chief Executive, Vittorio Colao, also announced a change in strategy for the company.

"We have also today announced an updated strategy, which positions Vodafone to realise further value from non-controlled assets, take full advantage of the most valuable telecommunications growth opportunities ahead and which will deliver sustainable revenue growth, stabilising margins and strong free cash flows.
