SatCo aims to provide full geographic coverage across Europe, enabling consumers and businesses to access secure space-based cellular broadband via their mobile network operators (MNOs). This new entity will cater to MNOs across European markets.
As the exclusive distributor of AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s satellite services in Europe, SatCo will operate under a turnkey model, supported by a European-based network management center leveraging Vodafone&#8217;s engineering expertise.

Our new satellite company will be able to offer this pioneering technology to other European mobile operators through a turnkey service that combines Vodafone&#8217;s leading network and engineering with AST SpaceMobile&#8217;s &#8216;antennas in the sky&#8217;.&#8221;
Notably, last month, Vodafone, AST SpaceMobile, and the University of Málaga partnered to establish a space and land mobile broadband research hub, which is expected to open by Summer 2025.
Additionally, AST SpaceMobile is expanding in Spain with a new 5,600-square-meter manufacturing and office facility in Barcelona, boosting production capacity and accelerating satellite and telecom system testing.

Shares of consumer goods major Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) are trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower in premarket</a> on Thursday.
The company announced that it is making solid progress toward <a target="_blank" href="https://www.unilever.com/news/press-and-media/press-releases/2025/improved-performance-led-by-volume-growth-and-gross-margin-expansion/" rel="noreferrer noopener">separating </a>its Ice Cream division, with plans to finish the process by the close of 2025.
Significant steps have been taken in critical areas, such as forming legal entities, creating an independent operating structure, and finalizing the required financial separation documents.
Last year, Unilever said it planned to spin off its Ice Cream division and concentrate on a portfolio of brands that are well-positioned in desirable markets with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37815586/chilling-changes-unilever-to-separate-iconic-ice-cream-brands-in-strategic-shake-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">complementary business models</a>.
The Ice Cream unit includes notable global ice cream brands, such as Wall&#8217;s, Magnum, and Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s.
Jean-Francois van Boxmeer has been named Chair Designate for the newly independent Ice Cream business. With extensive experience in the consumer goods industry, van Boxmeer is currently the Chair of Vodafone Group Plc and a non-executive director at Heineken Holding N.V.
The Ice Cream unit will be separated through a demerger and listed on the Amsterdam, London, and New York stock exchanges, matching the current markets where Unilever shares are traded.
The Ice Cream business will be incorporated in the Netherlands, and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37916172/unilevers-ice-cream-unit-may-find-home-in-amsterdam-over-london-report">headquarters will be maintained in Amsterdam.</a>

The decision comes after a thorough evaluation by Unilever&#8217;s Board of Directors, aimed at maximizing returns for shareholders while positioning the Ice Cream business for future success.
For the fiscal year 2024, Unilever reported a 4.2% increase in underlying sales, driven by a 2.9% growth in volume.
&nbsp;Turnover&nbsp;rose by 1.9% to 60.8 billion euros ($63.16 billion), with a negative impact of -0.7% from currency fluctuations and -1.5% from net divestments.
Power Brands, which account for over 75% of turnover, led the growth with a 5.3% underlying sales growth and a 3.8% increase in volume.
Brand and marketing investment rose by 120 basis points to 15.5%, marking the highest level in more than a decade.
The underlying operating margin grew by 170 basis points to 18.4%, while the gross margin expanded by 280 basis points.
Underlying earnings per share rose by 14.7%, though diluted EPS fell 10.6% due to losses from disposals and increased spending on productivity initiatives.
The quarterly dividend was increased by 6.1% compared to fourth-quarter FY23, and a new 1.5 billion euros share buyback program was announced.
Outlook: Unilever expects a slower start to 2025 with subdued growth in the short term, but both market conditions and growth are expected to improve as the year progresses, driven by price hikes reflecting higher commodity costs in 2025.
The company forecasts underlying sales growth for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance">2025 of 3% &#8211; 5%.</a>
Price Action: UL shares are trading lower by 6.26% at $55.44 in premarket at the las check Thursday.

Consumer Giant Unilever Warns On Slower Start To 2025, Ice Cream Spin-Off Moves Forward With Amsterdam Incorporation

Vodafone Group shares are trading lower after the company reported Q3 financial results.

Group total revenue: Increased by 5.0% to €9.8 billion in Q3 with good organic service revenue growth partially offset by adverse foreign exchange movements.&nbsp;
− Group service revenue: Grew by 5.6% in Q3 to €7.9 billion and on an organic basis increased 5.2% (Q2: 4.2%), driven by broadbased growth, excluding Germany. The acceleration in quarterly trends was driven by the UK and Africa.
− Group Adjusted EBITDAaL: Increased by 2.2% on an organic basis to €2.8 billion, as service revenue growth in most markets and lower energy costs in Europe more than offset the impact of the TV law change in Germany. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin of 28.8% was 0.5 percentage points lower year-on-year on an organic basis. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 3.2% on an organic basis to €8.2 billion. Operating profit decreased by 18.4% to €1.0 billion&nbsp;
