Question
Javier Borrachero Kieselack from Kepler Cheuvreux asked about future shareholder returns, specifically the potential for extending the share buyback program, and inquired about Vodafone's satisfaction with its current asset footprint and potential disposals.
Answer
Group CFO Luka Mucic stated that the company is executing its current capital allocation framework, including buybacks funded by the Italy and Spain sales. Any decision on additional returns would be made later in the year after considering other investment opportunities. He noted the Vodafone Investments team continues to look for value creation opportunities across the associate portfolio, but nothing is immediately imminent.
