Vodafone reported a slowdown in first-quarter organic service revenue on 25th July, with tough trading in Italy and Spain taking the shine off the final set of results delivered by outgoing boss Vittorio Colao. 

The world`s second-biggest mobile operator had warned that growth would slow at the start of the new financial year, but it reiterated its full-year cash and earnings targets.

For the quarter, organic service revenue grew by 0.3 percent under its new IAS 18 accounting basis, slightly ahead of consensus forecasts at 0.2 percent. Using the old IFRS 15 system, it grew by 1.1 percent, down on the 1.6 percent growth it recorded last year.

Recently, the government gave a final approval to the mega-merger of Vodafone and Idea Cellular which will create the country's largest mobile operator with 35 per cent market share and around 430 million subscribers, news agency PTI reported. The move comes just days after Idea Cellular and Vodafone India made a joint payment of Rs 7,268.78 crore 'under protest' to the Department of Telecom (DoT) for merging their mobile businesses.
