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.
