For the three-month period, Vodafone posted total revenue of €11.372 billion ($12.25 billion), less than the €11.638 billion registered for the same period last year.

Service revenue stood at €9.383 billion as against the previous year's €9.52 billion.

Other revenue slipped to €1.989 billion from €2.118 billion a year ago.

Excluding items, looking ahead, for the full year, Vodafone still expects to report earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after special losses (EBITDAaL) of around €13.3 billion.
