LONDON (AFP) - British mobile phone giant Vodafone said on Tuesday that annual net profits tumbled 90 per cent after it took a vast £7.7-billion (S$14.69 billion) impairment charge relating to its businesses in debt-laden euro zone nations Italy and Spain.

Earnings after taxation nosedived to £673 million in the group's financial year to the end of March, compared with £7.0 billion in 2011-2012, Vodafone said in a results statement.

Group revenues retreated 4.2 per cent to £44.44 billion.

Vodafone's businesses in Italy and Spain have been hit hard by the impact of the ongoing euro zone sovereign debt crisis.
