Vodafone's FY26 results reveal a successful pivot toward a simplified, growth-focused structure organized around Europe, Africa, Business, and Investments. Total revenue rose 8.0% to €40.5 billion, fueled by the consolidation of Three UK and strong service revenue growth. Most notably, the company staged a major financial recovery, turning a prior-year loss into a €2.8 billion operating profit and meeting the top end of its EBITDAaL guidance.



The year was marked by aggressive portfolio optimization, including an agreement to take 100% ownership of VodafoneThree in the UK and the sale of its stake in Vodafone Ziggo in the Netherlands. While Germany faced slight organic declines due to competitive and regulatory shifts, Africa remained a standout performer with double-digit growth. Additionally, the Vodafone Business segment thrived on rising demand for digital services.

Backing its commitment to investors, Vodafone returned €3.1 billion to shareholders through a combination of a €2 billion share buyback and a 2.5% increase in dividends. These results position the group as a more agile entity with a stabilized balance sheet and a clear trajectory for future expansion.
