Disclaimer
Information in the following presentation relating to the price at which relevant investments have been bought or sold in the past or the yield on such investments cannot be relied upon as a guide to the future performance of such investments. This presentation does not constitute an offering of securities or otherwise constitute an invitation or inducement to any person to underwrite, subscribe for or otherwise acquire or dispose of securities in any company within the Group. This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are subject to risks and uncertainties because they relate to future events. Some of the factors which may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are discussed in the last slide of this presentation.
The presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial information. The Group’s management believes these measures provide valuable additional information in understanding the performance of the Group or the Group’s businesses because they provide measures used by the Group to assess performance. However, this additional information presented is not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in the Group’s industry. Accordingly, it may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies. Additionally, although these measures are important in the management of the business, they should not be viewed in isolation or as replacements for or alternatives to, but rather as complementary to, the comparable GAAP measures. Vodafone, the Vodafone logo, Vodacom and Vodafone One Net are trade marks of the Vodafone Group. Other product and company names mentioned may be the trade marks of the respective owners.

Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Group’s financial condition, results of
operations and businesses and certain of the Group’s plans and objectives. In particular, such forward-looking statements include: the free cash flow guidance for the 2012 financial year contained in
slide 15 and the statements relating to the Group’s future performance generally; statements relating to the development and launch of certain products, services and technologies, including
expectations regarding growth in customers and usage and mobile data growth and technological advancements, including the deployment of 4G services; expectations regarding revenue, adjusted
operating profit, EBITDA, free cash flows, adjusted effective tax rates, costs, tax settlements and capital expenditures; and expectations regarding the Group’s disposals and the integration or
performance of current and future investments, associates, joint ventures and newly acquired businesses.
Forward-looking statements are sometimes, but not always, identified by their use of a date in the future or such words as “anticipates”, “aims”, “could”, “may”, “should”, “expects”, “believes”,
“intends”, “plans”, “will” or “targets”. By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on
circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-
looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in economic or political conditions in markets served by operations of the Group that would adversely affect
the level of demand for mobile services; greater than anticipated competitive activity, from both existing competitors and new market entrants, which could require changes to the Group’s pricing
models, lead to customer churn or make it more difficult to acquire new customers; the impact of investment in network capacity and the deployment of new technologies, or the rapid obsolescence
of existing technology; higher than expected costs or capital expenditures; slower than expected customer growth and reduced customer retention; changes in the spending patterns of new and
existing customers and the possibility that new products and services will not be commercially accepted or perform according to expectations; the Group’s ability to renew or obtain necessary
licences; the Group’s ability to achieve cost savings; the Group’s ability to execute its strategy in mobile data, enterprise and broadband and in emerging markets; changes in foreign exchange rates or
interest rates; the ability to realise benefits from entering into partnerships for developing data and internet services and entering into service franchising and brand licensing; unfavourable
consequences of acquisitions or disposals; changes in the regulatory framework in which the Group operates, including possible action by regulators in markets in which the Group operates or by the
EU to regulate rates the Group is permitted to charge; the impact of legal or other proceedings against the Group or other companies in the mobile telecommunications industry; loss of suppliers or
disruption of supply chains; the Group’s ability to satisfy working capital and other requirements through access to bank facilities, funding in the capital markets and operations; changes in statutory
tax rates or profit mix which might impact the weighted average tax rate; changes in tax legislation or final resolution of open tax issues which might impact the Group’s tax payments or effective tax
rate; and changes in foreign exchange rates, including, particularly, the exchange rate of pounds sterling to the euro and the US dollar.
Furthermore, a review of the reasons why actual results and developments may differ materially from the expectations disclosed or implied within forward-looking statements can be found by
referring to the information contained under the heading “Principal risk factors and uncertainties” in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2011. The annual report can be found on the
Group’s website (www.vodafone.com). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any member of the Group or any persons acting on their behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this presentation will be realised. Except as otherwise stated
herein and as may be required to comply with applicable law and regulations, Vodafone does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and does not undertake any obligation to do so.
