China’s bars and restaurants resume trade, says distiller Diageo
Diageo, the maker of Johnnie Walker whisky and Smirnoff vodka, has said trade in Chinese bars and restaurants has resumed in parts of the country as it cautiously emerges from lockdown. “In mainland China, we are beginning to see a very slow return of on-trade consumption, as restaurants and bars have started to gradually reopen,” said Diageo, which majority-owns the maker of Shui Jing Fang, a popular brand of baijiu, China’s national spirit, distilled from grain or rice.

Diageo withdraws forecast, halts buyback programme
The Johnnie Walker whisky maker is the latest company to pull its guidance as the closure of bars and restaurants around the world due to lockdowns imposed by governments hit its sales. Production facilities in many countries including India and in its key markets of Africa are closed, while in the United States - its biggest market - the closure of bars and restaurants in most states was impacting about 20% of its business there, the company said. Diageo also said it was seeing a small pickup in sales in retail stores in the United States and Europe in recent weeks, as more people drink at home.

Diageo to pay £3.84 million to settle SEC charges it concealed liquor overshipments
The London-based company - whose brands include Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, Smirnoff vodka, Tanqueray gin and Guinness beer - did not admit or deny wrongdoing, but agreed to cease and desist from further violations, the SEC said on Wednesday. According to the SEC, Diageo failed to publicly disclose how employees at its most profitable unit, Diageo North America, pushed distributors in its 2014 and 2015 fiscal years to buy more wine and spirits than they needed. The SEC said this "overshipping" enabled Diageo to report higher growth in operating profit and net sales than analysts expected, but was unsustainable because distributors would likely eventually push back on orders, and some did.
