INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT FOR THE FIRST QUARTER

Vodafone Group Plc (“Vodafone”) today announces its interim management statement for the quarter ended 30 June 2007.

The key highlights of the quarter are:

•            Group revenue of £8.3 billion, representing 7.5% growth on last year, with organic growth of 4.0%

•            Group service revenue growth of 8.0% with growth of 4.2% on an organic basis. Organic service revenue growth of 1.4% for Europe and 18.2% for EMAPA

•            9.1 million proportionate organic net mobile additions for the quarter compared with 4.8 million for the same quarter last year. Total proportionate mobile customer base at 30 June 2007 of 232.0 million

•            Group mobile customer base for subsidiaries and joint ventures of 200.4 million at 30 June 2007, including 30.8 million in Vodafone Essar in India. Organic net mobile additions of 9.3 million in the quarter

•            Further strong growth in retail net customer additions of 1.6 million at Verizon Wireless

•            2.6 million 3G devices added in the quarter, bringing the total 3G device base to 18.5 million. Organic growth in non-messaging data revenue of 32.2%

•            Vodafone At Home now available in 11 markets and Vodafone Office in 12 markets

•            Vodafone reiterates its current year outlook with the financial performance for the quarter in line with expectations

Arun Sarin, Chief Executive, commented:

“We have made a good start to the financial year, with a strong performance from the EMAPA region offsetting continued challenging markets in Europe. We continue to make progress in the execution of our strategic objectives. Our new Indian business has delivered strong growth in the quarter, with its integration into the Group progressing well. We are reiterating our guidance for the current financial year.”

GROUP REVIEW

Following the introduction of the Transparency Rules in the UK in January 2007, which implement the EU Transparency Directive, the Group is providing an interim management statement that provides details of the Group’s performance and financial position, together with any material events, for the quarter.

Operating review

Group revenue increased by 7.5% to £8.3 billion. The net impact of acquisitions and disposals, principally due to Turkey and India, contributed 5.3 percentage points to revenue growth offset by 1.8 percentage points from adverse movements in exchange rates.

The Europe region recorded organic total revenue growth of 1.1%, whilst the EMAPA region delivered organic growth of 18.7%. The quarter showed continued strong performances in Spain and several of the Group’s emerging market operations, with sustained revenue growth in the UK. The overall competitive environment in Europe remains challenging.

Organic voice revenue growth of 1.2% reflects continued strong growth in outgoing voice minutes offset by effective price declines, together with the expected impact from the Group’s European roaming price reductions and the cancellation of top up fees in Italy. Data revenue growth remains strong driven by business services and the increasing penetration of 3G devices, up over 100% since June last year to 18.5 million, supporting strong growth in connectivity revenue.

Group mobile customers in subsidiaries and joint ventures increased to 200.4 million at the end of the quarter from 163.0 million at 31 March 2007, with 30.8 million added through Vodafone Essar (formerly Hutchison Essar) in India. On a proportionate basis, the closing customer base reached 232.0 million, with 9.1 million organic proportionate mobile net additions in the quarter.

Review of strategic objectives

The Group continues to focus on executing against its strategic objectives.

Revenue stimulation and cost reduction in Europe

The Group’s focus in Europe is to drive additional usage and revenue from core voice and messaging services and to reduce the cost base.

Outgoing voice revenue growth for the quarter in Europe was 0.5%, up slightly compared with the previous quarter. A 20.3% fall in effective price per minute has been offset by initiatives to stimulate additional usage, with 26.2% growth in total voice usage, including 15.6% growth on a per customer basis. Messaging revenue growth for the quarter was 8.5%, up slightly on the previous quarter principally through successful propositions in Italy.

12.6 million Vodafone Passport customers are already benefiting from lower roaming prices. In addition, all European customers are benefiting from the Group having delivered on its commitment to reduce roaming prices by 40% in April 2007 compared with summer 2005.

The Group’s cost reduction programmes remain on track. The majority of operating companies have now started outsourcing IT application development and maintenance to EDS and IBM and the Group’s data centre consolidation programme is substantially complete. For the 2008 financial year, the Group expects for the total of the Europe region and common functions mobile capital expenditure to be 10% of mobile revenue and mobile operating expenses to be broadly stable when compared with the 2006 financial year.

Innovate and deliver on our customers’ total communications needs

The Group is targeting an additional 10% of revenue from its total communications initiatives over the next three years.

Fixed location pricing plans have now been launched in six markets for consumers and 12 markets for business customers. The Group now has 3.5 million Vodafone At Home customers on fixed location tariffs and 2.5 million Vodafone Office customers.

Vodafone is now offering fixed consumer broadband services through its mobile operations in ten markets, with four markets launching services since the end of May. In addition, Arcor in Germany had 2.2 million DSL customers at 30 June 2007, up 47% compared with June last year.

During the quarter, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK refreshed their mobile internet offering and launched fixed price browsing tariffs to encourage greater data usage, benefiting from partnerships with industry leading partners such as Google, YouTube, MySpace and eBay.

Since July 2007, the Group’s European customers have been able to benefit from lower data roaming charges, with a daily fixed rate of €12 for unlimited usage.

Overall, Group data revenues have increased by 32.2% on an organic basis compared with the same quarter last year.

Deliver strong growth in emerging markets

Further strong performances have been delivered during the quarter in the Group’s emerging markets, with organic service revenue growth of 42.8% in Egypt, 26.8% in Romania and 20.6% from Vodacom.

The Group’s more recent acquisitions in India and Turkey have delivered strong year on year total revenue growth in local currency of 50% and 32% respectively, calculated by assuming the Group owned these businesses for the whole of both quarters.

Actively manage our portfolio to maximise returns

On 8 May 2007, the Group completed its acquisition of companies with interests in Vodafone Essar in India for a cash consideration of US$10.9 billion and acquired debt of approximately US$2 billion. The Group has also granted Essar options to sell all or part of its shareholding for a maximum consideration of US$5 billion between the third and fourth anniversary of the completion of the acquisition.

Net debt at 30 June 2007 has increased significantly since 31 March 2007 with the contribution from free cash flow generated in the quarter more than offset by the increase in net debt of approximately £9 billion resulting from the transactions and agreements in India.

On 18 July 2007, the Group received $1.3 billion in respect of a 4.99% stake in Bharti Airtel following an irrevocable agreement by a Bharti group company on 9 May 2007 to purchase 5.60% of Bharti Airtel by November 2008.

Outlook

The overall performance for the quarter is consistent with expectations and the Group is therefore reiterating its outlook statement for the year ending 31 March 2008. The Group’s expectations for average foreign exchange rates for the 2008 financial year are unchanged from those announced on 29 May 2007.

Group revenue is expected to be in the range of £33.3 billion to £34.1 billion. Adjusted operating profit is expected to be in the range of £9.3 billion to £9.8 billion, with the Group EBITDA margin lower year on year. Total depreciation and amortisation charges are anticipated to be around £5.8 billion to £5.9 billion, higher than the 2007 financial year, primarily as a result of the Vodafone Essar acquisition.

The Group expects capitalised fixed asset additions to be in the range of £4.7 billion to £5.1 billion, including in excess of £1.0 billion in India.

Reported free cash flow is expected to be in the range of £4.0 billion to £4.5 billion. This is after taking into account £0.6 billion of expected tax payments and associated interest in respect of the potential settlement of a number of long standing tax issues, a net cash outflow of approximately £0.8 billion anticipated in respect of India and £0.5 billion from deferred payments and the reversal of certain timing differences that benefited the 2007 financial year. The outlook for free cash flow is stated including the impact of known spectrum or licence payments only.

REGIONAL RESULTS

Europe

(1) Estimated impact of revenue arrangements now presented net of associated direct costs and termination rates reductions

Customers

The Europe region recorded 2.3 million net customer additions in the quarter compared with 0.9 million in the same quarter last year, with year on year growth in both contract and prepaid net additions.

Strong net additions in Italy and the UK reflect changes in commercial strategies implemented after the June quarter last year. In Germany, the increase in net additions is partly attributable to wholesale contract arrangements started in the quarter.

The total customer base reached 103.5 million at the end of the quarter, up 10.0% on an organic basis since the same quarter last year.

Usage

Total voice usage increased by 20.5% on an organic basis compared with the same quarter last year. Outgoing call volumes increased by 26.2% on an organic basis resulting from a 9.2% growth in average customers and a 15.6% growth in outgoing usage per customer, reflecting similar overall trends to the previous quarter.

Total outgoing voice usage growth remained strong in the region’s major markets, with improved growth in Italy from various successful commercial initiatives offsetting lower growth in Spain arising from lower promotional activity than in the prior year.

Revenue

Organic service revenue growth for the quarter was 1.4%, compared with 1.9% growth for the previous quarter. The lower growth rate principally reflects the impact in the current quarter from the cancellation of top up fees in Italy and the Group’s reduction of European roaming prices by 40% between summer 2005 and April 2007, with particular impact this quarter in Germany and the UK, offsetting other underlying improvements. Spain continued to sustain strong local currency growth in service revenue, primarily through the year on year increase in the customer base.

4

Voice revenue

Voice revenue declined by 2.4% on an organic basis compared with the same quarter last year, having declined 0.9% in the previous quarter. Outgoing voice revenue remained broadly stable year on year for the region, with the negative impact in Italy from the cancellation of top up fees, offset by successful commercial initiatives in Italy and improved trends in Spain and the UK. Incoming voice revenue continues to decline, with a 3.8% fall principally due to the impact from termination rate reductions in Germany together with an additional impact this quarter from termination rate reductions in Spain. Roaming and international visitor revenues declined 11.9% year on year, as expected, from the impact of the Group’s initiatives on retail and wholesale roaming.

Messaging revenue

The Europe region recorded 8.5% organic growth in messaging revenue compared with the same quarter last year, slightly higher than the growth recorded in the previous quarter. Strong growth in messaging usage and revenue was recorded in Italy from the continued success of propositions launched in the previous quarters.

Data revenue

Data revenue growth remained strong, increasing by 28.9% on an organic basis, similar to the growth in the previous quarter. Data revenue continues to benefit from growth in business services and the increasing penetration of 3G devices, which have nearly doubled since June 2006 to 17.1 million. Handheld business devices increased by 87% since June last year, with Vodafone Mobile Connect data cards up 70%. Increasing device penetration has improved significantly the rate of growth in the UK and Italy, offsetting lower but nonetheless strong growth in Germany and Spain.

Fixed line operator and DSL revenue

Arcor generated 9.9% local currency growth in service revenue compared with the same quarter last year, driven by a 47% year on year increase in DSL customers to 2.2 million.

Associates and investments

The Group’s interests in France are now managed by the Europe region. SFR recorded 31,000 proportionate net additions in the quarter, bringing the proportionate mobile customer base to 7.9 million. Vivendi will report further financial information for SFR on 25 July 2007.

5

EMAPA

(1) Includes the Group’s joint venture interest in the fixed line operations of Bharti Airtel in the prior year

The EMAPA region recorded 6.9 million organic customer net additions in the quarter compared with 2.9 million in the same quarter last year, with India and Turkey accounting for 3.3 million of the year on year increase. Customer growth remained particularly strong in Egypt and South Africa.

The total customer base reached 96.9 million compared with 53.5 million at June last year, including a net additional 28.4 million customers in India year on year.

Reported revenue growth of 40.7% included 27.9 percentage points benefit from acquisitions and disposals, primarily relating to the timing of the acquisitions in Turkey and India, offset by 5.9 percentage points adverse impact from exchange rate movements, particularly in South Africa.

Organic growth in service revenue in the quarter of 18.2% compares with 19.6% in the previous quarter, primarily reflecting an incremental impact from termination rate reductions in the quarter across several markets. Customer growth remains the key driver of the organic increase in service revenue, with average customers up 27.2% on an organic basis.

Eastern Europe

Organic growth in service revenue of 12.9% in Eastern Europe compared with 16.3% growth in the previous quarter, with the inclusion of the Czech Republic in the organic calculation for the first time and an incremental impact from termination rate reductions accounting for substantially all of the difference.

The principal driver of the organic growth in Eastern Europe continued to be Romania, where the customer base has reached 8.2 million. Local currency service revenue growth in Romania was 26.8%, similar to growth in the previous quarter, with 22.8% growth in average customers and 3.3% growth in ARPU from a focus on higher value contract customers.

Customer growth in Turkey remains strong with 1.0 million net additions in the quarter following the rebranding of the business to Vodafone on 31 March 2007, bringing the closing customer base to 14.9 million, up 32.0% on the same quarter last year. Year on year total revenue growth for the quarter was 32%, assuming the Group owned the business for the whole of both quarters.

Middle East, Africa and Asia

Organic service revenue growth in Middle East, Africa and Asia was 28.9%, similar to growth in the previous quarter, with 37.3% organic growth in average customers.

Egypt delivered local currency growth in service revenue of 42.8%, compared with 35.9% growth in the previous quarter. Organic customer net additions were 1.0 million, with a positive reaction to the introduction of lifetime validity for prepaid customers. Average customers have increased by 50.0% compared with the same quarter last year.

6

Vodacom Group, the Group’s joint venture with principal operations in South Africa, reported local currency growth in service revenue of 20.6%, slightly lower than the previous quarter reflecting lower average customer growth as market penetration rises. The Group’s share of net additions was 1.1 million, bringing the share of the closing customer base to 16.2 million. Data revenue growth remains very strong at around 70% in local currency, with rapid growth in mobile broadband connectivity devices.

The Group’s new business in India has registered 3.0 million customer net additions from completion of the acquisition until the end of the quarter, bringing the closing customer base to 30.8 million, up 75% on June last year. Year on year total revenue growth for the quarter was 50%, assuming the Group owned the business for the whole of both quarters.

Pacific

The Pacific area delivered 9.5% organic growth in service revenue, similar to the previous quarter, with improved underlying trends from a focus on higher value contract customers in Australia and non-voice services in New Zealand, offset by an incremental impact from termination rate reductions in the quarter in both countries.

Associates and investments

Verizon Wireless

In the US, Verizon Wireless maintained strong growth in retail customers, with 1.6 million retail net additions, the same as the previous quarter. Total net customer additions were 1.3 million, after 0.3 million reseller net disconnections, with the Group’s proportionate share at 0.6 million.

The closing proportionate customer base reached 27.9 million, up 13.2% on June last year. Verizon Communications will report its June quarter results, including those of Verizon Wireless, on 30 July 2007.

Other

The Group’s investments registered 0.9 million proportionate organic customers in the quarter.
