DIAGEO TO ISSUE TRADING STATEMENT ON 28 JUNE 2007 AND
ANNOUNCES PROGRAMME TO ENABLE SHARE BUY BACKS TO CONTINUE
DURING THE CLOSED PERIOD
Diageo plc will issue a trading statement on the 28 June 2007 with respect to the fiscal year ending 30 June 2007. As a result, it will enter a closed period which begins on 19 June and ends at the close of business on 30 August 2007 following the preliminary results announcement. Diageo has put in place an irrevocable, non-discretionary programme to allow the company to buy back shares during the closed period. The buy back programme during the closed period will be managed by an independent third party, which will make its trading decisions in relation to the company’s securities independently of, and uninfluenced by, the company.
Share buy backs will be effected during the period between 19 June 2007 and 30 August 2007 inclusive within pre-set parameters. The buy backs will be in accordance with Diageo’s general authority to repurchase shares and in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules. Consequently the maximum price paid will be limited to no more than 105 per cent of the average middle market quotations of Diageo shares for the 5 dealing days preceding the date of purchase. The shares repurchased will be cancelled on a daily basis.
In announcing this Diageo confirms that currently it has no unpublished price sensitive information.

Diageo reiterates guidance for 8% organic operating profit growth for the year ending 30 June 2007
Summary
    Further outperfomance in North America and double-digit top line growth in International and Asia Pacific
 
    In Europe, top line growth improved in the second half
 
    Marketing spend up in Europe in the second half and further increased in Asia Pacific
 
    Reiterating guidance for 8% organic operating profit growth for the full year
 
    £2.3 billion returned to shareholders in the financial year through dividends and the share buy back programme
Paul Walsh, CEO of Diageo, said:
The strength of our brands and our broad based geographic exposure continue to drive the consistent top and bottom line organic growth and strong cash generation which are the recurring themes of Diageo’s performance.
‘The strong performance, which was delivered in North America and International in the first half, has continued for the full year. In Europe and in Asia Pacific, top line performance has improved against the first half as marketing investment was increased in the second half behind our growth brands and markets. Therefore while Diageo’s total organic net sales growth in the full year is expected to be higher than in the first half, operating profit growth will be in line with the first half performance of 8%.
‘This strong trading performance continues to be matched by Diageo’s financial strength. The consistency of our cash flow has allowed us to return a further £2.3 billion to shareholders this financial year in dividends and share buy backs. ’
Trading Update
Strong growth of the global spirits brands, and in particular the growth of Diageo’s Scotch brands across the world, remains the key driver of top line performance. Growth has been delivered in beer through the continued success of Guinness and the lager brands in Africa. In ready to drink, growth in Brazil and South Africa has offset further decline of the segment in Europe. In wine, strong growth was achieved in Sterling Vineyards and French agency wine brands in the United States.
In North America, Diageo has performed strongly and outperformed the market throughout the year. While the rate of growth of the US spirits market has slowed in recent months, the consumer trend is still to premium brands. Diageo’s focus on premium brands therefore continues to generate top line growth and support the implementation of further price increases.
In Europe, investment behind the growth opportunities, which have been identified in continental and Eastern Europe, together with strong growth in Russia, has led to an improvement on top line performance in the second half. Marketing investment has been increased in the second half behind proven growth drivers.
In International, Latin America and Africa have both continued to deliver very strong growth. In Latin America this has been led by the growth in Scotch and ready to drink and in Africa by the growth in beer and also by the growth in ready to drink.
In Asia Pacific net sales growth was stronger in the second half than in the first half of the year as marketing spend was further increased in key markets.
Interest
Diageo’s average net debt for the year ending 30 June 2007 will be approximately £4.6 billion and it is estimated that closing debt will be approximately £5.1 billion. The effective interest rate for the year ending 30 June 2007 is expected to be approximately 5.5%. As a result of the increase in interest rates the effective interest rate for the year ending 30 June 2008 is currently expected to increase by approximately 0.4 percentage points year on year.

Exchange rate movements
The impact of exchange rate movements on reported profit before exceptional items and tax is still expected to be about £80 million for the year ending 30 June 2007. Operating profit is estimated to be negatively impacted by £90 million and interest to be positively impacted by approximately £10 million.
For the year ending 30 June 2008 the impact of exchange rate movements, based on current exchange rates, is estimated to have an adverse impact of £40 million on operating profit and a small positive impact of less than £5 million on interest.
Return of capital to shareholders
Consistent with previous guidance Diageo has returned a further £1.4 billion to shareholders in the financial year through the repurchase of 141 million shares. The number of shares in issue at the year-end will be 2,618 million, excluding 313 million shares, held by the company as treasury shares or in trust to hedge employee share option programmes. The weighted average number of shares, which will be used to calculate eps for the year ending 30 June 2007, will be 2,688 million shares.
As announced on 18 June 2007 Diageo has put in place an irrevocable non- discretionary programme to buy back shares during the closed period which ends at the close of business on 30 August 2007.
Preliminary Results
Diageo will announce preliminary results for the year ending 30 June 2007 on 30 August 2007. These preliminary results will be reported on the new basis of four regions; North America, Europe, International and Asia Pacific, together with corporate. To aid comparison prior period results on this basis are attached.

Good economic conditions in many markets, further investment in the brands and a focus on market place execution have resulted in the International business growing strongly in all regions.
Smirnoff vodka grew net sales by 10% led by strong growth in Brazil.
Guinness volume declined 3% whilst net sales were up 1%. Performance was held back as a result of a decline in Cameroon, although this was partly offset by strong performances in Nigeria and Ghana where price increases accelerated the growth of net sales ahead of volume.

Table of Contents

Baileys grew volume by 8% driven by growth in Global Travel. Promotional activity in Global Travel has, however, resulted in net sales growing by 6%.
Local priority brand performance was led by the growth of Buchanan’s in Venezuela. Growth of Bell’s in South Africa was offset by declines in Tusker and Pilsner in Kenya.
The performance of category brands has been driven by the growth of Scotch in Latin America and our beer brands in Africa. Investment behind Diageo’s Scotch brands has enabled the International region to capitalise on market opportunities. Amongst the successes was Old Parr, which grew significantly across Latin America with volume and net sales up nearly 60%. In beer, the successful re-launch of Harp in Nigeria also contributed to the overall growth in category brands.
Ready to drink grew volume by 39% and net sales by 47%. Smirnoff ready to drink volume grew by 50%, as a result of strengthened distribution and sales execution and advertising campaigns on Smirnoff Ice in Brazil, as well as the launch of Smirnoff Ice in Venezuela and Smirnoff Storm in South Africa.

Table of Contents

Smirnoff vodka increased net sales by 20% with particularly strong growth in India and continued growth in Australia.
Johnnie Walker experienced strong growth on the back of upweighted investment, which has been focused around its grand prix team sponsorship. This has been particularly successful in driving growth of Johnnie Walker Black Label and Super Deluxe variants, where net sales were up 22%. The sponsorship has also provided a strong platform for Diageo’s responsible drinking programmes.
Guinness volume grew by 6% whilst net sales were up 9% with both South East Asia and Japan experiencing good growth.
Local priority brand performance was led by the return to growth of Windsor in Korea, driven in particular by new packaging on the 12 and 17 year-old variants. This more than offset the decline of Dimple in Korea. Bundaberg continued to grow in Australia.
Growth in category brands was driven by the newly launched whisky brands in Thailand.
Ready to drink volume increased by 10% and net sales by 9%. This was led by Australia where the Smirnoff, Bundaberg and Johnnie Walker ready to drink brands all grew volume and net sales in the year.
