Nevertheless, the company anticipated the operating environment would remain "challenging" and volatile due to the geopolitical uncertainty, weaker consumer spend, price pressures and the disruptions from Covid-19.
Even so, Diageo boss, Ivan Menezes, expressed confidence in the business's resilience and management's ability to cope.
He also believed that Diageo was still well-positioned to reach organic net sales growth "consistently" in the range of 5-7.0% across FY2023-25 and organic operating profit growth of 6-9.0%.
