Operating profit rose eleven per cent to £2.4 billion. Net profit, on the other hand, fell by four per cent to 1.98 billion pounds, as Diageo was once again asked to pay tax by the tax office after a tax credit one year earlier.
Sales had risen in all regions of the world, company boss Ivan Menezes said. Demand rose particularly strongly in the Asia-Pacific region, where it rose by seven percent. In North America, as well as in Europe and Turkey, the volume increase amounted to two percent. (dpa)
