UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's has reported a 16.3% rise in annual pre-tax profit to £898m for the year to 15 March compared with £772m a year earlier.
But like-for-like sales, which strip out trading at new stores, excluding fuel, rose by just 0.2%.
The firm said it had maintained market share in a "tough retail environment".
In January, the supermarket announced chief executive Justin King was to leave in July after 10 years.
