Vodafone Invested Over UAH 5.3 Billion in Ukraine’s Economy during the First Nine Months of 2025

Vodafone’s investments in Ukraine have exceeded UAH 20 billion since the start of the full-scale war

Vodafone Ukraine demonstrated business stability and positive dynamics of its key operational and financial indicators for the first nine months of 2025. The company’s revenue for the three quarters reached UAH 20.4 billion. OIBDA for this period exceeded UAH 10.6 billion, with an OIBDA margin of 51.9%. Vodafone’s net profit amounted to UAH 2.9 billion. The average revenue per user (ARPU) in Q3 2025 was UAH 137.7 per month.

Sustained growth has enabled the company to further increase its investments – Vodafone raised its capital expenditures by 57%, investing over UAH 5.3 billion in the country’s critical infrastructure during the first nine months of 2025. More than half of the total investment volume was directed towards the development, restoration and enhancement of network resilience in case of prolonged power outages. The company continues to invest heavily in network maintenance as well as in the expansion of fixed broadband access based on modern GPON technology.

During the first nine months of 2025, Vodafone expanded its GPON network coverage by 47%. As of October 1, 2025, 1.6 million households in Ukraine have GPON internet access provided by Vodafone. Over this period, the number of home internet users on modern GPON technology increased by 34%. The company also upgraded the Frinet network to GPON technology in 1,261 buildings, reaching 105,000 households. Revenue from GPON internet services doubled, growing by 103% compared to the same period in 2024.

Overall, since the start of the full-scale war, Vodafone has invested over UAH 20 billion in Ukraine, including more than UAH 2 billion to enhance the network’s energy resilience. Even during wartime, Vodafone engineers make every effort to ensure customers stay connected and continue to enjoy fast and reliable mobile internet. As a result, during previous large-scale blackouts, Vodafone’s overall network availability remained at 90%, even in regions affected by prolonged power outages.
