Forward-looking statements This presentation, along with any oral statements made in connection therewith, contains or may contain 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, but are not limited to: statements with respect to: expectations regarding the Group s financial condition or results of operations, including the Group Chief Executive s statement on the outlook for the 2015 financial year; expectations for the Group s future performance generally, including revenue and EBITDA growth measures to improve margin growth and free cash flow; statements relating to the Group s Project Spring investment programme, including opex, launches of 4G and 3G, targeted mobile, fixed and enterprise coverage expectations regarding the operating environment and market conditions and trends, including future sales, customer usage, competitive and macroeconomic pressures, price trends and opportunities in specific geographic markets; intentions and expectations regarding the development, launch penetration and expansion of products, services and technologies, either introduced by Vodafone or by Vodafone in conjunction with third parties or by third parties independently, including the Vodafone app, NGN, M-Pesa, consumer TV and converged services and the launch of a number of additional features; growth in customers and usage; expectations regarding spectrum licence acquisitions, including cost anticipated new 3G and 4G availability and the customer uptake associated therewith; expectations regarding adjusted operating profit, EBITDA margins, capital expenditure, net debt and foreign exchange rate movements; expectations regarding the integration or performance of current and future investments, associates, joint ventures, non-controlled interests and newly acquired businesses, including KDG and Ono; and the outcome and impact of regulatory and legal proceedings involving Vodafone and of scheduled or potential regulatory changes. Forward-looking statements are sometimes not always identified by their use of a date in the future or such words as will, anticipates, aims, could, may, should, expects, believes, intends, plans or targets (including in their singular or negative form). 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 may or may not 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 its 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, affect the relative appeal of the Group s products and services as compared to those of its competitors or make it more difficult for the Group 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 offered by the Group will not be commercially accepted or do not perform according to expectations; the Group s ability to expand its spectrum position or renew or obtain necessary licences, including for spectrum; the Group s ability to achieve cost savings; the Group s ability to execute its strategy in fibre deployment, network expansion, new product and service roll-outs, mobile data, enterprise and broadband and in emerging markets; changes in foreign exchange rates, including, in particular, changes in the exchange rate of pounds sterling, the currency in which the Group prepares its financial statements, to the euro, the US dollar and other currencies in which the Group generates its revenue, as well as changes in interest rates; the Group s ability to realise benefits from entering into partnerships or joint ventures and entering into service franchising and brand licensing; unfavourable consequences to the Group of making and integrating acquisitions or disposals; changes to 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 or unfavourable developments in the availability or prices of commodities and raw materials; developments in the Group s financial condition, earnings and distributable funds and other factors that the Board takes into account when determining levels of dividends; the Group s ability to satisfy working capital and other requirements through access to bank facilities, funding in the capital markets and its operations; changes in statutory tax rates or profit mix which might impact the Group s weighted average tax rate; and/or changes in tax legislation or final resolution of open tax issues which might impact the Group s tax payments or effective tax rate. 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 under the headings Risk Factors and Other Information Forward-looking statements in our half year financial report for the six months ended 30 September 2015 which can be found on the Group s website (vodafone.com/ content/index/investors). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, to any member of the Group or to 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 or made in connection with this presentation will be realised. Subject to compliance with applicable law and regulations, Vodafone does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and does not undertake any obligation to do so. 53
