| Note:
| 1. |
In the year ended 31 March 2023, the segment was named Other Markets and also included the results of Vodafone Ghana which, as previously reported, was sold in February 2023. Other Markets was re-named to Türkiye because this segment comprised only Vodafone Türkiye in the years ended 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025. |
