<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIncluding Safaricom, Vodacom passed the 100 million financial services customers mark during the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We continue to invest in quality and resilience, modernising networks, scaling 4G and 5G where appropriate, and expanding fibre to bridge the digital divide,” said Joosub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our international business continued to deliver excellent results, with service revenue up 12.6% to R8.8 billion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joosub said the region benefited from strong commercial execution, network modernisation, and the scaling of advanced digital and financial services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Data revenue grew by 21.1%, contributing\u00a0 31.2% of international business service revenue, while M-Pesa revenue accelerated to 22.1% growth, driven by double-digit expansion across all markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The customer base increased by 12.5% to 65.7 million, which Joosub said reflected the success of innovative financing options and adoption of new products such as communal savings and fuel loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Egypt remains a standout performer, with service revenue now accounting for 27.5% of Group service revenue in the quarter,” stated Joosub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This was driven by strong commercial momentum, enhancements to integrated connectivity and content packages, and continued traction of Vodafone Cash.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egyptian data traffic expanded by 25.1%, with data customers up 8.9% to 33.9 million. Joosub said consistent network investment, including the roll-out of 5G services, underpinned healthy ARPU growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Looking ahead, we remain focused on delivering our medium\u2011term targets, advancing financial inclusion, and executing with discipline across products and geographies,” said Joosub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Continued execution of our strategy has the potential to create immense economic value in the markets where we operate, helping to address inequality.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vodacom benefited from sustained growth in Egypt and its international business, including a strong performance in DRC, while South Africa delivered modest revenue growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":542581,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[41],"class_list":["post-627765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-vodacom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627765"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627765"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":627772,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627765\/revisions\/627772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/th> Quarter ended 31 December<\/th> YoY change<\/th><\/tr> Rm<\/th> 2025<\/th> 2024<\/th> Reported<\/th> Normalised<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Group revenue<\/strong><\/td> R43,898<\/strong><\/td> R39,531<\/td> 11.0%<\/strong><\/td> 11.7%<\/td><\/tr> South Africa<\/td> R24,002<\/strong><\/td> R23,865<\/td> 0.6%<\/strong><\/td> 0.6%<\/td><\/tr> Egypt<\/td> R11,108<\/strong><\/td> R7,767<\/td> 43.0%<\/strong><\/td> 43.7%<\/td><\/tr> International<\/td> R9,359<\/strong><\/td> R8,179<\/td> 14.4%<\/strong><\/td> 17.4%<\/td><\/tr> Group service revenue<\/strong><\/td> R34,606<\/strong><\/td> R30,693<\/td> 12.7%<\/strong><\/td> 13.6%<\/td><\/tr> South Africa<\/td> R16,418<\/strong><\/td> R16,192<\/td> 1.4%<\/strong><\/td> 1.4%<\/td><\/tr> Egypt<\/td> R9,506<\/strong><\/td> R6,837<\/td> 39.0%<\/strong><\/td> 39.7%<\/td><\/tr> International<\/td> R8,813<\/strong><\/td> R7,829<\/td> 12.6%<\/strong><\/td> 15.4%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody> Normalised growth adjusts for trading foreign exchange, foreign currency fluctuation on a constant currency basis (using the current year as base) and excludes the impact of merger, acquisition and disposal activities to show a like-for-like comparison of results.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
