The company also reported a revenue of approximately $22.64 billion, significantly exceeding the estimated $10.25 billion. This strong performance was largely driven by the positive results from its German operations, which have returned to growth, and robust performance in Africa.

The company expressed optimism about its future guidance, expecting to reach the upper end of its full-year earnings and cash flow projections, as highlighted by its progressive dividend policy.

For the half-year ending September 30, Vodafone reported underlying earnings excluding lease expenses of €5.73 billion, a 5.9% increase from the previous year, surpassing the average analyst forecast of €5.65 billion.

Service revenue in the second quarter rose by 8.1% to €8.47 billion, exceeding expectations, with notable growth in Germany and a 1.2% increase in the UK.

Vodafone's financial health is further supported by a decrease in net debt to €25.94 billion from €31.78 billion the previous year, below analyst predictions of €27.19 billion. The company maintains a price-to-sales ratio of 0.72 and an enterprise value to sales ratio of 1.90.
