15.05.2024 - following the right-sizing of the portfolio as a result of the sale of Vodafone Spain and Vodafone Italy, the Board has determined to adopt a new rebased dividend from FY25 onwards. The Board is targeting a dividend of 4.5c per share for FY25, with an ambition to grow it over time. The new dividend has been set at a sustainable level, which ensures appropriate cash flow cover and sufficient flexibility to invest in the business for growth. The Board has also approved a capital return through share buybacks of up to €2.0 billion of proceeds from the sale of Vodafone Spain. The Board anticipates the opportunity for further share buybacks of up to €2.0 billion following the completion of the sale of Vodafone Italy, which is expected in the first half of 2025.

Vodafone cheap, but not compellingVodafone (VOD) is cheap but Berenberg says the telecoms giant is 'missing a compelling narrative'.Analyst Carl Murdock-Smith reiterated his 'hold' and target price of 78p on the Citywire Elite Companies AAA-rated stock, which gained 1% to 72.3p on Monday.The group has completed the sale of its Spanish division and the sale of the Italian arm is set to conclude in the first half of 2025, meaning 'Vodafone has exited its most challenging European markets'.'However, we believe that what is left is not a company that would ever be drawn up on a blank piece of paper, but instead one that is a product of its history,' said Murdock-Smith.'Vodafone is cheap, but that is not a big differentiator in the telecoms sector. With several quarters of poor growth ahead of it, we feel there is no urgency to turn more positive right now.'

Vodafone plans to halve its dividend.
But as its yield is 9.9%, that could still mean the payout is substantial even after the cut.

The company’s balance sheet concerns me.
Servicing its debt eats into profits.
But asset sales and the dividend cut could help accelerate debt reduction.

Its market is vast and Vodafone has a strong position in many countries across Europe and Africa.
I expect demand for data and mobile services to grow over time.
I also like Vodafone’s exposure to emerging markets in Africa and see its mobile money offering as an exciting growth opportunity there.

A well-known brand, large customer base and pricing power all play to its advantage.

Transaction in Own Shares

Vodafone announces that it has purchased the following number of its ordinary shares of 20 (20/21) US cents on Exchange (as defined in the Rules of the London Stock Exchange) from Goldman Sachs International ('Goldman Sachs') as part of its buy-back programme announced on 16 November 2022 (the 'Programme').

Following completion of the Programme, the increase in the issued share capital as a result of the maturing of the second tranche of the MCB will be fully offset.

Vodafone Group PLC on Wednesday said it began a share buyback program of up to EUR500 million, a day after saying it would begin a wider EUR2.0 billion scheme following Spanish authorities giving the green light to the planned sale of its Spanish business.

The Newbury, Berkshire-based telecommunications provider said the program would begin today and end no later than August 15. Morgan Stanley will conduct the buybacks on Vodafone's behalf.

Shares in Vodafone were up 4.7% to 76.70 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.

Vodafone said on Tuesday that it planned to conduct the program as an initial tranche of returning EUR2.0 billion to shareholders over 12 months.

This was after Spanish authorities greenlit its planned sale of Vodafone Spain to Zegona Communications PLC, which is expected to complete at the end of May.

At that time, Vodafone will receive EUR4.1 billion in cash and EUR900 million in the form of redeemable preference shares.

Zegona said the acquisition is classified as a reverse takeover under listing rules and it has applied for the around 704.1 million Zegona shares to be re-admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

Zegona is led by former Virgin Media executives and has bought and sold two Spanish telecoms businesses, Telecable and Euskaltel, in the past.

Under the sale agreement, Vodafone and Zegona also will enter into a brand licence agreement, which permits the use of the Vodafone brand in Spain for up to 10 years post-completion. Vodafone and Zegona will enter into other transitional and long-term arrangements for services including access to procurement, internet of things, roaming and carrier services.

Zegona said it will fund the acquisition through a combination of new debt, Vodafone financing, and a new equity raise.

Shares in Zegona were up 0.9% to 235.10p each in London on Wednesday morning.

Earlier Tuesday, Vodafone reported results for the year to March.

It said pretax profit fell 88% to EUR1.62 billion from EUR13.07 billion the year prior.

Vodafone said this primarily reflects business disposals in the prior financial year, in particular the EUR8.6 billion gain on the disposal of Vantage Towers.

Revenue declined by 2.5% to EUR36.72 billion from EUR37.67 billion a year prior, reflecting the disposals of Vantage Towers, Vodafone Hungary and Vodafone Ghana in the prior financial year and adverse currency movements.

Group service revenue increased by 6.3% to EUR29.91 billion from EUR30.32 billion, with Europe, Africa and its Business division all growing, Vodafone said.

Earnings per diluted share fell to 4.44 euro cents down from 43.51 cents.

Vodafone declared an unchanged total dividend 9.0 cents per share, including a final dividend of 4.5 cents.

VOD unable to hold on to 70p. Again. A bit more on Vodacom from today...

Vodacom, a mobile network operator, has reported increased service revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Vodacom South Africa generated R61.6 billion ($3.36 billion), in service revenue, up 2.6% from the previous year. Vodacom revealed that R11.1 billion ($606 million) was invested in network resilience, new spectrum assets, and IT platforms. Previously, it invested R11.17 billion ($639 million) in 2022/23 and R11.15 billion ($628 million) the year before. Vodacom acknowledged reaching over 200 million customers, stating that the milestone occurred in a year when the company celebrated three decades of operation.

Vodacom stated that its Egypt acquisition, combined with South Africa's performance as its largest market, resulted in a 29.1% increase in the group's service revenue. Thus, Egypt now serves 48.3 million customers, up 6.2%. It saw a 10.9% increase in data customers, which led to a 41.8% increase in data traffic.

Consequently, Shameel Joosub, Vodacom Group CEO said, “We are encouraged by the meaningful steps taken by Egypt's government to support economic growth through foreign direct investment and foreign exchange liquidity. Pleasingly, the dividend declared by Egypt to the Group in the first half of the financial year was repatriated to South Africa in March 2024.”

Integrating new services, including the consumer contract segment and prepaid mobile data, fueled revenue growth. New services, including digital and financial, fixed and IoT, contributed 20.0% of group service revenue. In South Africa, new services increased by 11.2%, accounting for R10.2 billion ($556 million), or 16.6% of service revenue.

Its financial services customers increased by 11.8% to 78.9 million, with an annual transaction value of $381.2 billion.

“The 7.9% service revenue increase from financial services to R3.2 billion [$174 million] was largely driven by our insurance business and payments, while Airtime Advance remained an important enabler of digital inclusion,” the CEO said.

Furthermore, it reported a 10.8% drop in headline earnings of 846 cents per share (cps), impacted by events such as several start-up losses in Ethiopia, higher finance and energy costs, and lower exchange rates.

Safaricom reports $1.07 billion in earnings, surpassing market expectations
Vodacom's VodaPay concluded the period with 10.4 million downloads and 5.8 million registered users. Meanwhile, Vodacom announced in November 2023 that it would replace the My Vodacom smartphone app with VodaPay, its super app, early in 2024 to provide customers with a unified interface for interacting with Vodacom and its partner companies' services.

Besides, it intends to enable affordable connectivity through the proposed acquisition of a joint venture stake in Maziv, a South African fibre company. The transaction is pending review as of May 20, 2024.

Maziv stated in August 2023 that the Commission's recommendation to prevent the Vodacom acquisition does not end the merger process, and it will approach the Competition Tribunal to present information and make its case for the merger's approval.

Meanwhile, M-Pesa revenue increased by 21.4% across Vodacom's markets in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Tanzania, accounting for 26.5% of international business service revenue.
