Report Highlights

Tesco's overall performance for 2011/12 reflects strong growth in international markets but its UK performance continues to provide cause for concern. The agility which propelled the retailer to overtake Sainsbury's for the top spot in grocery retailing in the 1990s is no longer there as the business has grown both domestically and internationally.

Investment in the UK market has been pinpointed as a strategic priority. The entry level value range has been relaunched as Everyday Value with redesigned packaging and improved recipes. Stores are being refurbished across the estate and staff levels are being improved to keep availability at optimum levels and provide shoppers with better service.

Despite operating in a competitive market, Tesco has continued to grow clothing sales through multichannel developments, such as click & collect, and the rollout of Extra stores. While non-food categories have struggled at Tesco, with OOT formats falling out of favour with the British shopper, clothing has been one of the more resilient categories
