"We started this year with one clear priority - to sustain the strong competitive position we have built over the last five years. We have delivered on this in the first half, with focused and effective investment to ease cost-of-living pressures, keeping price inflation behind the wider market and delivering our winning combination of great value, trusted quality and leading service. This has driven continued grocery volume growth ahead of the market for a fifth consecutive year and a profit performance ahead of our expectations."
