据肖娜·戈什报道，沃达丰集团宣布，其英国业务有望在2032财年实现每年10亿英镑（约合13亿美元）的成本节约。今年早些时候，该集团完全接管了英国业务后，进一步上调了预期目标。
Group Plc said its UK business would save costs of £1 billion ($1.3 billion) annually by fiscal 2032, upgrading its outlook after taking full control of the business earlier this year.
周四，该公司表示，自实施最初的成本削减计划以来，各项工作取得了“显著进展”。此外，沃达丰还将截至2030年3月的财年中，该业务部门的年度成本节约目标从7亿英镑提高至8亿英镑。
The update follows “strong progress” against VodafoneThree’s initial cost targets, the company said Thursday. Vodafone also increased the unit’s savings target for the fiscal year ending in March 2030 to £800 million from £700 million per year.
此次调整是今年初沃达丰全面收购VodafoneThree后的首次重大目标更新。2025年，沃达丰与长江和记实业有限公司旗下的英国业务将正式合并。
The new goalposts mark the first significant update since Vodafone’s full buyout of VodafoneThree earlier this year. The operator after the merger of UK businesses owned by Vodafone and CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. in 2025.
此次收购也是沃达丰首席执行官玛格丽塔·德拉瓦莱为优化集团整体运营而采取的重要举措，旨在集中资源发展核心市场并逐步退出其他市场。据公司介绍，在英国市场，通过关闭重复设置的通信基站并升级现有网络系统，有望实现更高的运营效率，进而增加营收。
The buyout is part of Vodafone Chief Executive Officer Margherita Della Valle’s push to streamline the broader group’s operations, focusing on key markets while divesting from others. In the UK, the extra savings will come from shutting down overlapping sites and upgrading the two networks to be more efficient, the company said. It also expects to bring in more revenue.
周四上午8点26分，沃达丰股价下跌0.6%，报126.95便士。不过今年以来，该股累计涨幅已接近28%。
Vodafone’s shares fell 0.6% to 126.95 pence at 8:26 a.m. on Thursday. The stock has gained about 28% this year.
