South African mobile phone operator Vodacom Group Ltd on Thursday reported a 4% rise in first quarter revenue as growth from its international business offset a lacklustre performance at home, sending its shares up 2%.
Group revenue rose to 21.5 billion rand ($1.55 billion) for the quarter ended June 30, with service revenue up 3.9% to 17.4 billion rand.
Despite the impact of cyclones Idai and Kenneth in Mozambique,
international service revenue jumped 20%, largely driven by a 42.7% increase in revenue from Kenya’s Safaricom M-Pesa mobile financial services platform and data demand, the company said.
