Marks & Spencer has said that its like for like food sales remain unchanged.
The latest data released by the retailer covers the 13 weeks to 26 March 2016.
But M&S added that thanks to the opening of 80 new stories during the year, it had seen its market share grow to 4.3 per cent.
Sales in the clothing and home arm fell by 2.7 per cent on a like-for-like basis, though, and new M&S chief executive Steve Rowe - who has taken over from Marc Bolland - has made it his priority to turn around that arm of the business.
