KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR VODAFONE SHOW ARPU STABILISING
Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone") today announces key performance indicators for
the three month period to 30 June 2001, including measures which indicate the
stabilisation of registered blended average revenue per user ("ARPU").
Customer Activity Levels
The total inactive customer base in Vodafone's controlled subsidiaries at 30
June 2001 was 10%, the same level as reported at 31 March 2001. This comprises
contract activity levels of 96% and prepaid activity levels of 87% compared to
94% and 88% respectively at 31 March 2001.
Vodafone's larger networks in Germany, Italy and the UK registered activity
levels of 90%, 93%, and 84% respectively. The 3% improvement on March in
Germany arose primarily as a result of now being able to report activity on an
incoming as well as an outgoing basis. On a like-for-like basis activity in
Germany has remained stable. Activity levels in Italy have remained constant
in the period to 30 June 2001 at 93%. Prepay activity in the UK has decreased
contributing to a 4% decline in activity compared to 31 March 2001 which
reflects the high level of upgrading which took place in the Christmas
quarter. The figures for the UK are on outgoing calls only and it is expected
that activity rates will increase when incoming calls can be systematically
measured, which is expected to be available for reporting in the Christmas
quarter.
Registered Blended ARPU
Registered blended ARPU, based on a 12 month rolling average, declined from
March 2001 to June 2001 by 9.5% in Germany and 4.9% in the UK. ARPU was stable
in Italy. The decline in Germany is not unexpected given the exceptionally
strong customer growth of lower spending prepaid customers in the year to 31
March 2001. The decline in the UK reflects the change in mix in the customer
base.
However, the trend in registered ARPU for the Group over the last six months
is showing signs of stabilising, as demonstrated by the following information
for the Group's largest controlled networks.

Active ARPU
Vodafone introduced a new industry measurement of active customers in March
2001. This is the second quarter for which Vodafone has collated and reported
on this information. As there is no historical information beyond the last
quarter, Vodafone will include active ARPU numbers when it has a history of
performance for a proper basis of comparison. However, the underlying levels
of active customer spend continue to be higher than the reported registered
ARPU.
Data as a Percentage of Service Revenues
In addition, Vodafone reports data revenues as a percentage of service
revenues for its controlled subsidiaries. This reached 8.6% in the year to 30
June 2001, split 8.2% for messaging and 0.4% for internet. In the month of
June this figure was 9.1% split 8.7% and 0.4% respectively. For the Group, as
a whole on a proportionate basis, including associates, the corresponding
figure was 6.6% for the year and 7.7% in the month of June.
Sir Christopher Gent, Chief Executive of Vodafone said: "It is very
encouraging to see the beginning of a stabilisation in registered blended ARPU
levels, particularly as the customer base has been effected by the change in
mix, and is representative of our focus on higher value customers. In
addition, our change in commercial policies has improved EBITDA margins and
operating profit margins during this quarter in line with what we intended."
