Treasury Wine Estates will release its Q4 and FY results on Wednesday. Here, just-drinks takes a look at the company's highs and lows in the 12 months to the end of June:
- At the start of Treasury's financial year, the firm appointed a former Coca-Cola Co executive to lead its Asia and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) unit
- On the same day, the company said it would "vigorously defend" itself after being hit with a shareholder lawsuit over allegations of "deceptive conduct" in the US
- Later in July, TWE expanded its global Travel Retail team by appointing a new head for its Middle East & Africa (MEA) unit
- In the same month, the company said it was "confident" of protecting its Penfolds trademark in China after it emerged that it was embroiled in a long-running legal battle over the brand
- At the beginning of August, the company said it would open up its books after receiving a takeover proposal from two private-equity suitors. Shortly afterwards, it received a competing offer, but the company pulled the plug on talks at the end of September
- In its 2014 results, the company reported losses after a what it described as a challenging year
- Towards the end of September, TWE paid out AUD1.3m (US$1.18m) in severance pay to its former CEO David Dearie
- Then, in October, the company pushed through the launch of Penfolds premium collection
- By November, the company said it would close its Ryecroft winery in Australia. And, in December, TWE said it could 'retire' some of its brands
- At the start of its fourth quarter, Treasury announced plans to sell some of its Australian and US wineries, and confirmed further job losses as part of its cost-cutting programme
- And the future for the Australian company looks interesting in its domestic market, as changes to tax laws are afoot
