Vodafone Axed Another 3,000 Jobs Amid Cost-Cutting Overhaul
Vodafone lifted its earnings forecast to €13.2 billion to €13.4 billion as it cut 3,000 roles and announced 2,300 more reductions in Germany.
On Monday, Vodafone raised its annual earnings forecast to between €13.2 billion and €13.4 billion, implying organic growth of about 6% to 8% amid aggressive cost-cutting.
Vodafone announced 2,300 additional job cuts in Germany as part of its strategy to reduce annual costs by more than €2 billion by 2030 and improve performance in the struggling market.
Despite the improved outlook, the company reported a statutory pre-tax loss of €373 million for the six months to September 30, driven by a €4.85 billion writedown in Germany.
Group Chief Executive Margherita Della Valle acknowledged German operations are "not yet where it needs to be," with action plans underway to simplify operations and improve customer satisfaction.
Since taking the top job in 2023, Della Valle has led a cost-cutting drive that has axed 11,000 roles and reduced annual costs by €700 million to boost profitability.
