Trading statement for the financial year ended 31 March 2026

Vodacom is finalising its full year results for the year ended 31 March 2026 (FY2026) and
expects to report strong earnings per share (EPS) growth. It is anticipated that the results
will be consistent with Vodacom's Vision 2030 double-digit EBITDA growth ambition.

Given this context, and in terms of paragraph 6.26 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,
companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as there is a reasonable
degree of certainty that the financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by at
least 20% from those of the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that Vodacom expects:

-     Earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended 31 March 2026 to increase by between
      20% and 25% compared to the EPS of 859 cents reported for the prior corresponding
      year. This translates to an EPS range of 1 031 cents to 1 074 cents for the year.

-     Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the year ended 31 March 2026 to increase by
      between 20% and 25% compared to the HEPS of 857 cents reported for the prior
      corresponding year. This translates to an HEPS range of 1 028 cents to 1 071 cents for
      the year.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the Group's external auditors.

The Group's results for the year ended 31 March 2026 are expected to be released on SENS
on or about 11 May 2026.
