Director dealings: Vodafone chairman makes share purchase

Vodafone revealed on Tuesday that chairman Jean-François van Boxmeer had acquired 305,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed telco.

Earlier on Tuesday, Vodafone reported lower-than-expected adjusted core earnings as Covid travel restrictions hit roaming revenues and handset sales fell.

Full-year adjusted earnings before tax, interest, depreciation and aromatization (EBITDA) fell 1.2% to €14.4bn. Analysts had been looking for a 1% rise. Revenue fell 2.6% to €43.8bn.

As of 1620 BST, Vodafone shares were down 8.13% at 130.02p.
