Notes:
Group and South Africa revenue numbers and margins have been restated. This change is further explained on page 43.
1. Total dividend declared for the financial year.
2. Return on equity is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to equity shareholders by shareholders’ equity.
3. Return on capital employed (before tax) is calculated by dividing adjusted statutory operating profit by the average of total assets less current liabilities. Return on capital
employed was restated in order to align with the Group’s ultimate parent, Vodafone Group Plc.
4. Interest cover ratio is calculated by dividing earnings before interest and tax for the year by finance costs for the year.
5. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
6. The quick ratio is calculated by dividing current assets, excluding inventory, by current liabilities.
