(1) ARPU is calculated as total revenues excluding handset revenues and
connection fees divided by the weighted average number of customers during the
period.
(2) During the period from 1 October 2002 to 31 March 2003, Vodafone UK operated
under interim commercial terms with one of its service providers. Final terms
were agreed in April 2003. Recognising revenues on a consistent basis during the
interim period to the bases before and after this period would result in
additional service revenues of GBP74 million. For consistency and comparability
purposes, these revenues have been included in the calculation of UK ARPU but
have been excluded from Group turnover in accordance with UK GAAP.
The impact of the inclusion of these amounts has been to increase ARPU for the
12 months to 31 December 2002, 31 March 2003, 30 June 2003, September 2003 and
December 2003 from GBP284, GBP286, GBP291, GBP292 and GBP300 to GBP287, GBP292,
GBP297, GBP297 and GBP303 respectively. * Listed subsidiary still to report.
