Brewing news World: Diageo expects double-digit growth of organic sales in H1 2021

Drinks group Diageo on November 16 said it expects to grow organic net sales in the double digits in the first half of the year, based on increased brand investments and a rapid consumer shift towards high-end brands.

Shares of the Guinness maker, part of the UK’s blue-chip FTSE 100 index, rose as much as 3.4 per cent to hit a record high of 3,948 pence in morning trading.

Issuing guidance ahead of its capital markets day, the Johnnie Walker whisky and Tanqueray gin maker said it expects organic net sales growth of at least 16 per cent in the first half of its fiscal 2022 year ending June 30 and organic operating profit growth to be ahead of sales growth.

It also anticipates accelerating organic sales growth to between 5 per cent and 7 per cent in the fiscal 2023-2025 period, compared with the 4 per cent to 6 per cent growth during 2017-2019. It also sees growing earnings by up to 9 per cent by the end of its fiscal 2025.

“While we expect inflationary pressures to increase, we also expect to benefit from operating leverage, premiumisation, revenue growth management and productivity gains,” chief financial officer Lavanya Chandrashekar said in a statement.

The pandemic has been a boon to Diageo as locked down consumers stocked up on alcohol and beers and traded up to more premium versions due to higher savings.

The company ended fiscal 2021 with one of the highest growth rates in its history, propelled by strong at-home demand in the United States and partly due to the re-opening of bars and restaurants in Europe where vaccination is more widespread.

Rival Pernod Ricard, known for Absolute vodka, also said it expects strong growth in fiscal 2022, with a bit of moderation to what it had seen during the pandemic.
