Note:
1 See “Earnings per share”.
The adjusted effective tax rate for the year ended 31 March 2012 was
25.3%. This is in line with our mid 20s adjusted effective tax rate
guidance range.
The Group’s share of associates’ tax declined due to the absence of
thetax related to SFR following the disposal of our 44% interest in
June2011.
Income tax expense has increased in the year ended 31 March 2012
largely due to the favourable impact of a tax settlement in the 2011
nancial year.
Earnings per share
Adjusted earnings per share was 14.91 pence, a decline of 11.0%
year-on-year, reecting the loss of our 44% interest in SFR and
Polkomtel’s prots, the loss of interest income from investment
disposals and mark-to-market items charged through nance costs,
partially offset by a reduction in shares arising from the Group’s share
buyback programme. Basic earnings per share was 13.74 pence (2011:
15.20 pence), reecting the prot on disposal of our 44% interest in SFR
and 24.4% interest in Polkomtel and lower impairment charges
compared to the prior nancial year, all of which are excluded from
adjusted earnings per share.

Notes:
1 Taxation for the 2012 nancial year includes a £206 million charge in respect of the disposal of the Group’s
24.4% interest in Polkomtel. The 2011 nancial year included £929 million credit in respect of a tax
settlement and a £208 million charge in respect of the disposal of the Group’s 3.2% interest in China Mobile
Limited. The impairment charges of £4,050 million and £6,150 million in the 2012 and 2011 nancial years
respectively do not result in any tax consequences. The disposal of our 44% interest in SFR did not give rise
to a tax charge.

Group’s 44% interest in SFR and a £296 million gain on disposal of the Group’s 24.4% interest in Polkomtel.

consolidated income statement.

sale of the Group’s 3.2% interest in China Mobile Limited.
