Analysis · VOD · Technology
Vodafone is raising its cost-savings target for its UK joint venture VodafoneThree from £0.7 billion to £1 billion per year by FY32, and setting new targets for mid-to-high single digit EBITDAaL growth and operating free cash flow to more than triple by FY32. This is a meaningful upgrade to the company's medium-term financial outlook for its largest market, backed by a £11 billion 10-year network investment plan.
