Diageo PLC – Revised date for Fiscal 2020 preliminary
results
Dated
22 June 2020
22 June 2020
Notice of revised date for Fiscal 2020 preliminary
results
Diageo announces a revised date for the publication of its
preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2020. The
results will now be published on 4 August 2020, five days later
than the previously planned date of 30 July 2020. This follows
recent guidance from the Financial Conduct Authority on corporate
reporting timetables in light of Covid-19, and will allow Diageo
and its auditors, PwC, sufficient time to complete the process of
preparing and reviewing the results, given the practical challenges
of remote working.
Diageo will hold a conference call for investors and analysts on
the morning of 4 August 2020, details of which will be circulated
ahead of the event.
This will also result in a revised date for the publication of
Diageo's Annual Report 2020, which will now be on 7 August 2020,
two days later than originally planned.
