Vodafone PLC announces total dividends per share are 9.0 eurocents (FY20: 9.0 eurocents), including a final dividend per share of 4.5 eurocents. The ex-dividend date for the final dividend is 24 June 2021 for ordinary shareholders, the record date is 25 June 2021 and the dividend is payable on 6 August 2021.
Other financial highlights include:
Group revenue declined by 2.6% to €43.8 billion, as good underlying momentum and the benefit from the acquisition of Liberty Global's assets was offset by the effects of COVID-19 on roaming and visitor revenue, as well as foreign exchange movements
Adjusted EBITDA declined by 1.2% to €14.4 billion as our leading digital and efficiency programmes resulted in a further €0.5 billion net reduction in European operating expenditure, largely mitigating COVID impacts
Free cash flow (pre spectrum, restructuring and integration costs) of €5.0 billion, in line with expectations
