Same as Flyboyike. In our SOPM, we must read the altitude in feet ( and meter when applicable). eg when initiating a climb: '' Thrust climb, Climb, Alt Blue, 900 M, 3000 feet.'
But you are right, by the FCOM only the FMA shall be called out loud. And the FMA is only 5 columns and 3 lines. Therefore nor the speed or altitude is a mandatory call out by Airbus standard call out.

Also it's not written in our SOPM, but most pilots will call out the speed (eg ''306kts magenta''when accelerating above FL100 or ''142kt magenta'' when approach phase is activated''. Against this is not required by Airbus.
