Diageo on Tuesday reported a rise in pretax profit for fiscal
2023, albeit slightly below market expectations, on strong organic
net sales growth and price increases, and backed its guidance.
The alcoholic beverage company made a pretax profit of 4.74
billion pounds ($6.08 billion) for the year ended June 30, compared
with GBP4.39 billion the previous year.
A consensus estimate taken from FactSet forecast Diageo's pretax
profit at GBP5.06 billion.
Net sales rose to GBP17.11 billion from GBP15.45 billion a year
earlier, reflecting organic volume contraction of 0.8% offset by a
positive price mix of 7.3%. A consensus estimate, taken from
FactSet expected net sales to come in at GBP17.22 billion.
Diageo reported organic net sales growth of 6.5%, above a
consensus forecast of 6.4% taken from the company's website and
reflecting organic volume contraction of 0.8% offset by a positive
price mix of 7.3%.
The board declared a final dividend of 49.17 pence a share. This
brings the total for the year up to 80.0 pence, from 76.18 pence in
fiscal 2022.
The company backed its 2023-25 guidance for organic net sales
growth of 5% to 7% a year and organic operating profit growth of 6%
to 9% a year.
