David Tyler, chairman, said: “We’ve delivered a strong performance during the first half of the year. Sainsbury’s is responding well to the current economic environment and it has significant opportunity for continued long-term growth. Underlying profit before tax for the first half was up 18.5% to £307m. Our interim dividend is 4.0 pence per share in line with our policy to pay this at 30% of the previous full year dividend.”
