Cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial measures
The following presentation contains 'forward-looking' statements. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts and may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of
words such as "will", "anticipates", "should", "could", "would", "targets", "aims", "may", "expects", "intends" or similar expressions or statements. In this presentation, such statements include those that express forecasts,
expectations, plans, outlook, objectives and projections with respect to future matters, including information related to Diageo's fiscal 24 and fiscal 25 outlook, Diageo's medium-term guidance, Diageo's supply chain agility
programme, future productivity savings, future inventory levels, future investments, future Total Beverage Alcohol market share ambitions and any other statements relating to Diageo's performance during or for the year ending 30
June 2024 or thereafter.
Forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including factors that are outside Diageo's control, which include, but are not limited to: (i) economic, political, social or other developments in

commerce and its luxury portfolio; (xvi) increased competitive product and pricing pressures, including as a result of introductions of new products or categories that are competitive with Diageo's products and consolidations by
