Diageo PLC
19 October 2011
Interim Management Statement for the three months ended 30 September 2011
Diageo delivered 9% organic net sales growth in Q1
In the quarter ended 30 September 2011 Diageo delivered organic net sales growth of 9% against the comparable period with volume up 5%. Organic net sales growth by region was:
|
· Latin America and Caribbean 30%
|
On a reported basis, including net sales of £29 million attributable to the acquisition of Mey İçki on 23 August 2011, net sales grew by 9% in the quarter against the comparable period.
In North America net sales growth was driven by continued positive price/mix across all categories while volume was down 2%. Price/mix in US spirits benefitted from comparison against the prior period which saw the launch of the lower priced RȌKK. The wine category remained weak and beer was broadly flat. Double digit growth in Russia and Eastern Europe, in Germany and the Nordic markets and in Spain, where performance benefitted from the comparison to a destock there in the prior period, drove net sales growth in Europe. There was some price/mix erosion as a result of the continued difficult consumer environment. Each market in the Latin America and Caribbean region delivered very strong double digit growth and the performance in Venezuela benefitted from comparison against reduced shipments in the prior period. In Africa there was continued strong performance in all markets except South Africa which saw negative price/mix due to the growth of lower priced locally produced spirits. In Asia Pacific the developed markets delivered low single digit net sales growth while the developing markets grew very strongly led by the performance of Johnnie Walker.
Net assets were £6,572 million at 30 September 2011, compared with £5,985 million at 30 June 2011 primarily as a result of net profit for the period. Net borrowings were £8,358 million at 30 September 2011 having been £6,450 million at 30 June 2011. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Mey İçki for £1.3 billion.
Foreign exchange movements are currently expected to reduce reported operating profit for the year ending 30 June 2012 by approximately £35 million against the prior year. This is higher than the guidance given at the time of the preliminary results as a result of the strength of sterling against a number of currencies partially offset by the strength of the US dollar against sterling.
Paul Walsh, Chief Executive of Diageo commented:
'Diageo has delivered a good start to the new financial year. Net sales growth was marginally ahead of expectations and the quarter did benefit from some one-off factors which are not expected to reoccur in the second quarter. Consumer trends are broadly unchanged. We have delivered positive price/mix in North America, an improvement in net sales growth in Europe and we have driven strong growth in the developing markets with net sales up 20%. We continue to expect that net sales growth for the first half will improve on that delivered in fiscal 2011.
'We are alert to any impact which the fragile global economy may have on trading patterns as we continue to build our brands with consumers and enhance our relationships with customers. The sharpened focus we have brought to our investment in marketing, innovation and sales to build the strength of our brands and our routes to market underpins our confidence in the performance of the business.'
