LONDON-- Vodafone Group PLC reported on Thursday better-than-expected third-quarter revenue amid a recovery in Europe, its key market.
Revenue in the three months ended Dec. 31 rose 13.5% to GBP10.88 billion ($16.52 billion), beating market forecasts of GBP10.40 billion. Excluding acquisitions and disposals and on a constant currency basis, revenue rose 0.7%.
Group service revenue, a key metric based on telecom-services sales, fell 0.4% excluding acquisitions and disposals, and on a constant currency basis. That compares with a 4.8% decline in the same period last year.
On the same basis, revenue in Europe fell 2.7% in the quarter, compared with a 9.6% decline in the same period last year.
"In Europe, improved commercial execution in both mobile and fixed over the last few quarters, combined with strong data demand and a more stable pricing environment, is supporting the steady recovery in the top line," said Chief Executive Vittorio Colao.
The world's No. 2 mobile operator by number of subscribers after China Mobile Ltd. reiterated its fiscal-year guidance of adjusted operating profit of between GBP11.6 billion and GBP11.9 billion.
It didn't disclose earnings figures.
A squeeze on consumer spending in recession-hit European markets, particularly in the south, has hurt Vodafone's results in the past few years.
Vodafone shares closed Wednesday at 236.5 pence, valuing the company at GBP62.70 billion.
