Distell Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended June 30, 2014. The company advised the shareholders that for the year ended June 30, 2014 earnings per share and headline earnings per share are likely to be between 33% and 38% higher than the corresponding reporting period of the previous year. Earnings growth for the year is significantly impacted by a once-off fair value remeasurement of the contingent purchase consideration payable on the Burn Stewart Distillers Limited (BSD) acquisition.

Prior year provisions for additional excise duty and interest thereon, as well as the transaction cost pertaining to the BSD acquisition, further distorted earnings trends.
