DIAGEO
ANNOUNCES FURTHER RESTRUCTURING AND UPDATES
ON
EXISTING INITIATIVES
New
restructuring initiatives
Diageo
has identified further restructuring opportunities which are expected to give
rise to cost savings of approximately £40 million per annum in the year ending
30 June 2012. In addition the cost of production of maturing stocks will be
reduced by about £10 million per annum in the year ending 30 June 2011. This
will initially be reflected in the value of inventory and will not be reflected
in reduced cost of goods sold until future years. Related restructuring costs of
approximately £120 million will be taken as an exceptional charge in the year
ending 30 June 2010. The cash cost of this exceptional charge is estimated to be
£90 million which will largely be incurred in the year ending 30 June
2010.
As part
of these restructuring projects, changes to supply operations in Scotland have
been announced today including:
|
·
|
The
consolidation of packaging operations from three sites, at Kilmarnock,
Glasgow and Fife, to two sites and the closure of the packaging plant at
Kilmarnock.
|
|
·
|
The
closure of the Port Dundas distillery and the adjacent
cooperage.
|
|
·
|
The
outsourcing of certain warehousing
operations.
|
Update
on Restructuring Announcement Made in February
In
February 2009 Diageo announced a restructuring programme which was estimated to
reduce costs by £100 million in the year ending 30 June 2010. The related
restructuring charge was estimated to be £200 million. It is now estimated that
this restructuring programme will result in a year on year cost reduction
totaling £120 million in the year ending 30 June 2010 which will benefit both
cost of goods sold and overheads. The associated cost will result in an
exceptional charge of approximately £180 million in the year ended 30 June 2009
and a further exceptional charge of £90 million in the year ending 30 June
2010.
Brewing
in Ireland
As
previously announced Diageo is carrying out a review of its plans for the
restructuring of brewing operations in Ireland. The revised proposal will have
substantially the same scope as the original proposal, namely the restructuring
of all three Diageo breweries in Ireland and is expected to yield cost savings
at least equal to the original proposal. An exceptional charge of £78 million
was made in respect of the restructuring of brewing operations in Ireland in the
year ended 30 June 2008. There will be further exceptional charges of
approximately £20 million in the year ended 30 June 2009 and a similar amount in
the year ending 30 June 2010.
Summary
In
summary Diageo expects to generate cost savings from restructuring of £120
million in the financial year ending 30 June 2010 and an additional £40 million
in the financial year ending 30 June 2012. Additional cost savings will accrue
from the financial year ending 30 June 2014 in respect of the restructuring of
brewing operations in Ireland. Lower inventory costs for maturing stocks will
provide additional cost savings but over a longer timescale.
In
respect of these cost saving programmes Diageo expects exceptional charges in
respect of restructuring of £200 million in the year ended 30 June 2009 (being
£180 million in respect of the restructuring programme announced in February
2009 and £20 million in respect of the restructuring of brewing operations in
Ireland) and of £210 million in the year ending 30 June 2010 (being £120 million
in respect of the restructuring programme announced today and £90 million in
respect of the restructuring programme announced in February
2009).

Diageo's
East African subsidiary, East African Breweries Limited, issues statement in
respect of Tanzania operations to Kenyan stock exchange
East
African Breweries Limited (EABL), a subsidiary of Diageo, has issued a
cautionary announcement that on 16 July 2009 it entered into a conditional
agreement to acquire a substantial interest in a Tanzanian company, Serengeti
Breweries Limited (SBL), from existing shareholders for an undisclosed
sum.
EABL
has also given notice to terminate its existing brewing and distribution
agreement with Tanzania Breweries Limited, for the manufacture and sale of its
brands in Tanzania. Issues have arisen between EABL and Tanzania Breweries
Limited which are currently the subject of legal proceedings. Therefore,
Tanzania Breweries Limited currently remains the sole and exclusive manufacturer
and distributor of EABL products in Tanzania.
SBL
is Tanzania's second largest brewing operation and maker of the popular
Serengeti Lager. SBL currently accounts for 17 per cent of the Tanzanian market
by volume, and has grown market share by 10 per cent over the last three years.
Serengeti Lager, a premium priced product, is the flagship brand of SBL
accounting for 85 per cent of its sales volume. As at 31 December 2008,
SBL's total gross assets were 83,438million Tanzanian Shillings (approximately
£38million at current exchange rates).
SBL
will form an integral part of EABL's East African supply footprint providing
additional capacity to Kenya and Uganda.
