Diageo AGM Statement: Guidance for the Current Year Unchanged.
Diageo will hold its AGM at 2.30pm today at The Queen Elizabeth ll Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1. At the meeting Paul Walsh, Chief Executive of Diageo, will make the following comments on the current financial year:
‘At our results presentation in September we reported top and bottom line organic growth for the fifth consecutive year. On that occasion I said that we expected to
Table of Contents
continue that trend and that top and bottom line growth in fiscal 2006 would be similar to that delivered in the year ended June 2005 when we achieved 4% organic net sales growth and 7% organic operating profit growth. Trading in the first quarter of the new financial year supports this guidance.
‘In North America, our business continues to gain share in the growing spirits category. In Europe, as we anticipated the trading environment continues to be difficult with volume down on the prior period and the decline in the ready to drink segment continuing to adversely impact net sales growth. In the International region, volume growth remains strong and the markets, which we identified as underperformers last year, Korea, Taiwan and Nigeria, are now making progress in line with our expectations.
‘The current oil price has led to higher costs for all consumer goods companies. Diageo is not immune to this but our cost structure does reduce our exposure and therefore we currently expect to contain these cost pressures within our overall guidance.
‘In addition if the recent strengthening of the US dollar were to be maintained the negative impact in fiscal 2006 of the year on year movement in exchange rates is estimated to be £45 million. This is a slight improvement from the £50 million adverse movement we estimated in September but if current rates were maintained we would expect a more substantial improvement in fiscal 07.
‘Diageo is the world’s leading premium drinks company and we are well positioned to deliver our goal to consistently achieve our growth objectives.’

19 October 2005
Diageo decides not to exercise its option to acquire the Montana wine business
Diageo has informed Pernod Ricard that it has decided not to exercise the option to purchase the Montana wine business.
In June 2005 Pernod Ricard granted Diageo an exclusive option to purchase certain assets within the Montana wine business including the Montana brand and associated assets. At the time the option was granted, Allied Domecq, which was subsequently acquired by Pernod Ricard in July 2005, owned the Montana business. The option gave Diageo the opportunity to determine whether the acquisition of Montana could achieve appropriate growth and returns for shareholders.
The option was granted over the Montana wine business with the exception of the Corban’s, Stoneleigh and Church Road brands. Diageo has now completed a detailed review of this business and the prospects for export led growth together with margin improvement from premiumisation and innovation. However, the acquisition would not meet Diageo’s investment criteria.
Paul Walsh, CEO of Diageo commented:
‘Diageo gained the option over the Montana wine assets as a result of Pernod’s acquisition of Allied Domecq. We have now examined the opportunities that the Montana business presents and we have concluded that it does not fit our investment criteria and have decided not to proceed.
‘We recognize that wine is a growing category and that our scale can deliver top and bottom line synergy benefits for wine acquisitions. We will add selectively to our wine business, especially within the premium segment, as we have done with our recent Chalone acquisition. ‘
