This presentation does not constitute an offering of securities or otherwise constitute an invitation or inducement to any person to underwrite, subscribe for or otherwise acquire or dispose of securities in any company within the Group. The presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are subject to risks and uncertainties because they relate to future events.

The presentation also contains non-GAAP financial information which the Group’s management believes is valuable in understanding the performance of the Group or the Group’s businesses. However, non-GAAP information is not uniformly defined by all companies and therefore it may not be comparable with similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including those in the Group’s industry. Although these measures are important in the assessment and management of the business, they should not be viewed in isolation or as replacements for, but rather as complementary to, the comparable GAAP measures.

  • Finance Monthly CFO Awards 2015 Winners Edition
    FINANCE MONTHLY CFO AWARDS 2015 Everyone involved in business has heard of a CFO, but pinning down their exact job role can sometimes be tricky. For a prominent CFO, responsibilities can be surprisingly widely varied. At their best, a CFO helps lead key initiatives that support overall growth of a company, executes and funds strategies set by the CEO, as well as liaising with external stakeholders. The qualities of a good CFO include leadership, strategic thinking, identifying risk and the ability to make vital decisions under pressure. With such a unique skillset and such a varying role, what process can be used to determine a great CFO? As part of the financial press, Finance Monthly is ideally placed to observe the skills and attributes of great CFOs month after month. Each year Finance Monthly reports on over hundreds of transactions from M&As to IPOs, each requiring the expertise and involvement of a CFO. It was in this context that Finance Monthly commissioned its research team to carry out a comprehensive fact-finding exercise to identify some of the very best CFOs working in the corporate world today. The ability to provide strategic vision and keep a business financially on-track unites all those listed within these pages.

More than 750 mobile operators are full GSMA members and a further 400 companies are associate members. “I am delighted to announce our commitment to the Valuable 500, as there is an urgent need to close the disability gap in mobile," said Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA. "Only 10% of people currently have access to the assistive technology they need to live independent and autonomous lives." "As we enter the 5G era, the mobile industry has a responsibility to step up and ensure everyone benefits from the life-changing potential of connectivity. By taking swift action to ensure mobile products and services are accessible to persons with disabilities, we can ensure that nobody gets left behind.” Launched at Davos in January 2019 by Caroline Casey and Paul Polman, The Valuable 500 remains the only global CEO community dedicated to radically transforming the business system across the whole supply chain for the benefit of all those with a disability. In under two years, 365 CEOs have joined this community. The telecoms industry has shown particularly commitment to The Valuable 500, as GSMA joins several other industry giants already members.
