Diageo plc, a foreign private issuer, reports that its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2026 and its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2026 have been published, with the Form 20-F filed with the relevant securities regulator. These documents are available on Diageo’s website and the UK National Storage Mechanism. The Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026 and Form of Proxy are scheduled to be made available to shareholders on 30 September 2026.

Diageo plc reports a mixed fiscal 2026, with reported net sales of $19.6 billion, down 3.0%, and organic net sales down 2.0% as growth in Europe, Latin America and Africa was offset by weakness in North America and Asia Pacific, especially US spirits and Chinese white spirits. Volume declined 0.4% and unfavourable price/mix reduced growth by 1.6%.
Reported operating profit fell 27.2% and basic EPS dropped to 78.1c (down 26.3%), driven by $2.5 billion of exceptional restructuring and impairment charges, including a large write-down in Türkiye and Don Papa. By contrast, organic operating profit rose 2.0% and organic margin improved 116 bps on cost savings.
Free cash flow increased to $3.2 billion and net debt fell to $20.5 billion, improving leverage to 3.1x from 3.4x. Management is investing $1.2 billion in a two-year restructuring expected to deliver about $1 billion in annual savings and has cut the total dividend to 50c (from 103.48c) to strengthen the balance sheet. A new strategy focuses on total spirits (including RTDs), Guinness in premium beer, a more integrated supply chain and a turnaround in North America.
Diageo plc reports the planned appointment of R. Alexandra (Alex) Keith as a Non-Executive Director. The appointment is effective 5 November 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. She will also join the Board’s Remuneration and Nomination Committees from that date.
Alex Keith brings more than 35 years of international consumer goods experience and most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of Procter & Gamble’s Beauty business, where she led a major global beauty portfolio. She has held leadership roles across North America, Europe and Asia, and since 2020 has been a non-executive director of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. Diageo’s Chair, Sir John Manzoni, highlights her recent CEO experience in consumer goods and her role in transforming and shaping branded portfolios to respond to consumer trends.
Diageo plc is using its Capital Markets Day to outline a turnaround strategy focused on cost savings, cash generation and disciplined growth. Management targets approximately $1 billion of savings over the next three years, including about $850 million from an operating framework redesign and $150 million from supply chain initiatives. These programmes are expected to require around $1.2 billion in restructuring costs, largely related to the operating framework.
For fiscal 2027, Diageo guides to broadly flat organic net sales, with North America organic net sales down mid-single-digit, and low- to mid-single-digit organic operating profit growth supported by the cost savings. Free cash flow is guided at about $2 billion after roughly $850 million in exceptional cash costs tied to restructuring. The company expects to finish fiscal 2027 around the midpoint of its 2.5–3.0x net debt/EBITDA leverage target, assuming completion of the EABL and Royal Challengers Bengaluru transactions, and projects low-single-digit organic net sales CAGR, mid-single-digit organic operating profit CAGR, and cumulative free cash flow of about $8 billion from fiscal 2027 to 2029.
Diageo reported preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2026 with reported net sales of $19.6 billion, down 3.0%, and organic net sales down 2.0%. Growth in Europe, Latin America and Caribbean, and Africa was offset by weakness in North America and Asia Pacific and adverse mix, including in Chinese white spirits; excluding CWS, organic net sales would have been approximately 1.5% higher.
Organic operating profit grew 2.0% and organic margin expanded 116bps, reflecting cost savings, but reported operating profit fell 27.2% to $3,156 million and margin declined 535bps due mainly to exceptional restructuring costs and $1.5 billion of impairment charges, largely related to Türkiye and certain brands including Don Papa. Net profit was $1,958 million, down 22.9%. Basic EPS was 78.1 cents, down 26.3%, while EPS before exceptional items was 165.3 cents, up 0.7%.
Free cash flow increased by $463 million to $3.2 billion, and net debt at 30 June 2026 was $20.5 billion, with net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 3.1x. A two‑year restructuring programme generated $0.9 billion of charges in fiscal 26, including about $752 million for a new operating framework expected to deliver around $850 million of savings over two years starting in fiscal 27. The recommended full‑year dividend is 50 cents per share compared with 103.48 cents in fiscal 25. Diageo also highlighted progress on its ‘Spirit of Progress’ ESG plan, including reaching 5.1 million drink‑driving educational experiences and achieving water replenishment targets at water‑stressed sites, while noting challenges in meeting Scope 3 carbon targets at the intended pace.
