the UK consumer, but we see Tesco as well-positioned for relative outperformance

A little less, a little later Price/price relative

Tesco inflated materially below the market during the quarter (DBe c.2.7% vs

Worldpanel c.3.7% / ONS c.3.0%). This has translated to volume outpeformance

and improved customer satisfaction. While we expect market inflation to inflect in 400

the coming months, Tesco reiterated its intention to inflate "a little less, and a little

later" compared to the market.
