Revised segmental information for prior reporting periods

 

Diageo has made changes in respect of the allocation of specific corporate items and the allocation of the operating profit before exceptional items of Global Supply to better reflect the geographical segment to which the cost relates. In addition, certain transaction exchange differences, previously included in Corporate, have been allocated to the geographical segments to better reflect which geographical segment the item is in respect of.

 

As a consequence of these allocations the operating profit before exceptional items and marketing spend by geographical segments for prior periods have been amended and the organic growth calculations updated.

 

Revised segmental information for the years ended 30 June 2012 and 2011 and the six month period ended 31 December 2011 are provided below.

 

For the second half of the financial year ending 30 June 2013 Diageo will change its internal reporting structure to reflect changes made to management responsibilities announced on 9 November 2012.

 

As a result of this change Diageo will report the following geographical segments both for management accounts and the external financial statements in the second half of the 2013 financial year and will restate all comparative periods.

 

·North America

 

·Western Europe

 

·Africa, Eastern Europe and Turkey

 

·Latin America and Caribbean

 

·Asia Pacific

 

·Corporate

 

A separate press release to reflect this will be issued post the publication of the results for the six months ended 31 December 2012 restating the figures for the years ended 30 June 2012, 30 June 2011 and the six months ended 31 December 2012 .
