- Tuesday, May 21, 4:34 AM Vodafone (VOD): FQ4 organic service revenue -4.2% (in line, but worst quarterly drop on record): -12.8% in Italy and -11.5% in Spain. Impairment charge of £1.8B in Italy, bringing total impairments for Spain and Italy to £7.7B for the full year during which sales were down 4.2%, to £44.4B and core earnings were off 3.1% to £13.3B. Adjusted operating profit beats, rising 9.3% to £12B. The company said it will keep its 45% share of Verizon's (VZ) dividend payment to shore up operations. 4 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, April 18, 10:56 AM More on Verizon: Verizon Wireless' performance is taking center stage as shares rally. Service revenue rose 8.6% Y/Y, while equipment sales fell 1.4% (evidence of Verizon's efforts to lower subsidies). Retail postpaid net adds rose by 677K, and total retail net adds by 720K. Wireless operating income margin rose 430 bps Y/Y to 32.9%. Retail postpaid churn rose 6 bps Q/Q and 5 bps Y/Y to 1.01%. Vodafone (VOD +2.2%) is rallying in response to VZW's numbers, and CC comments about Verizon being "extremely confident" it can buy Vodafone's stake without taking a tax hit. 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 7, 3:33 AM Vodafone (VOD): FQ3 revenues -2% to £11.39B vs consensus of £11.29B. Profit figures not provided. Results "continue to reflect very difficult market conditions in Europe," with Spain and Italy particularly hit, although growth in emerging markets continues. Data revenue +12.8% as European smartphone penetration rises to 33.4%. Shares +2.1% in London. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 9, 9:29 AM Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) says it expect to report 9.8M smartphone activations, "with a higher mix of Apple smartphones," for Q4. That figure is up 29% from the 7.7M smartphones activated a year ago, and 44% from the 6.8M activated in Q3 (46% of them were iPhones). Verizon's Y/Y growth rate is easily above that of AT&T (T - previous), which is more iPhone-dependent, but its Q/Q rate is slower. The smartphone sales, together with strong indirect channel growth, will lead to a slight Y/Y drop in EBITDA service margin. VZ -0.5%. AAPL -0.7%. (CEO remarks: I, II) Update: Verizon PR tells Seeking Alpha the iPhone mix was higher relative to both Q3 (46% of smartphone sales) and Q4 2011 (56%). 22 Comments [Tech, Earnings]

- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 3:27 AM Vodafone Group (VOD): Swings to H1 loss of £1.98B from a net profit of £6.68B last year, hit by impairments of £5.9B for Spanish and Italian ops due to tough conditions and increased discounts. Adjusted operating profit +8.5% to £6.2B. Revenue -7.4% to £21.78B vs consensus £21.82B. Says FY adjusted op profit should reach "upper half" of £11.1B-£11.9B range.

- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 11:44 AM Nomura's James Britton is reiterating a Buy on Vodafone (VOD) ahead of the international carrier's Tuesday FQ4 report, but isn't exactly giving a ringing endorsement. Britton is worried Vodafone will withdraw its prior guidance for 1%-4% annual revenue growth, which in turn could affect its margin outlook, and believes there will be new scrutiny over its 5.6% dividend yield. Nonetheless, he likes Vodafone for its Verizon Wireless and enterprise exposure, and low valuation. 1 Comment [Tech, Quick Ideas, Earnings]
- Thursday, February 9, 2012, 3:00 AM Vodafone (VOD) Q3 revenue -2.3% to £11.62B, in-line with consensus, due to ongoing difficulties in Europe, its biggest market. The company reaffirms FY guidance for adjusted operating earnings of £11.4B-11.8B. Comment! [Tech, Earnings]

- Tuesday, August 2, 2011, 8:55 AM More on MetroPCS (PCS): Q2 earnings missed the mark as margins declined on higher costs and a sharp slowdown in subscriber growth. New customer growth was the lowest in nearly 2 years as the pre-paid wireless provider tries to remain relevant in a market dominated by Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD)and AT&T (T). Shares -16.5% premarket. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
- Friday, July 22, 2011, 7:05 AM Vodafone (VOD +1.6%) issues upside Q1 revenue guidance of £11.659B vs. consensus of £11.54B. Q1 trading was "consistent with management's expectations, with a resilient performance in northern Europe and good momentum in our emerging markets. The Group therefore confirms its guidance for the current financial year." (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 17, 2011, 4:52 AM More on Vodafone's (VOD) earnings: "...markets remain competitive and the economic environment, particularly across southern Europe, is challenging... and we expect further regulated cuts to mobile termination rates to have a negative impact of about 2.5 percentage points on service revenue growth in the 2012 financial year."

Energysystems: I agree. I didn't mind it at 52 week lows, rather them split it between a special divi and paying down debt or investing in their network.
