While we are reporting a loss in the first half, we\u2019re well positioned to deliver full year profit growth, which we\u2019ll continue to invest in our customers and Partners.\u201d &#8211; Jason Tarry, Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"b__text__block l__space white\" id=\"block-4-text-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<p><strong>Financial and operational review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first half results show positive momentum across the John Lewis Partnership as a direct result of our customer-focused investments.<\/p>\n<p>Our strategy is to invest in our customer experience to drive long-term, sustainable growth. In the first half, we adopted a deliberate strategy to accelerate investment in store upgrades, digital services and essential modernisations to our technology and supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>These investments are showing good progress, delivering growth in sales, volumes, customer numbers and market share in the first half. Partnership sales were \u00a36.2bn, an increase of 4% year-on-year, while total revenue grew 5% to \u00a35.4bn. We achieved our highest recorded level of\u00a0 positive customer satisfaction in the half, attracted more customers, with customer numbers up 4%, and saw pleasing growth in our loyalty schemes, My Waitrose (up 6%) and My John Lewis (up 13%).<\/p>\n<p>Our strong balance sheet allows us to make long-term investments from our own resources. Cash generated from operations was \u00a3177m, a \u00a330m increase year-on-year. Our growing cash generation saw us end the half with \u00a31.5bn liquidity, further strengthened by renewing our revolving credit facility, now \u00a3460m for five years. This financial strength gives us the ability to continue to self-fund our investment plans, reflected in \u00a3191m investment in the half, with a significant uplift planned in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>We reported a loss before tax and exceptional items (LBTBE) of \u00a334m for the first half. This result was significantly impacted by costs not present in the equivalent prior period, including \u00a329m of costs for the new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) packaging levy (where we took the full annual cost in our first half results), alongside higher National Insurance Contributions (NICs).<\/p>\n<p>On a like-for-like basis, our loss before tax and exceptional items (LBTBE) was broadly flat compared to last year&#8217;s \u00a35m. This stable result also includes a planned \u00a330m of strategic investment in operating costs targeted at technology, financial services, and our central teams to accelerate our growth. While this impacts profitability in the short term, it is a foundational part of our strategy for the benefit of our customers and Partners. Our strong cash generation and liquidity, combined with our ability to take a long-term perspective, enables us to make these crucial investments to support our growth in the second half and for years to come. Loss before tax in the half was \u00a388m, inclusive of \u00a354m of exceptional items relating to our ongoing transformation and non-cash asset impairments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have stepped up investment in our customers and our brands this year, ahead of the all important second half where we deliver the majority of our sales and profit. Our investments have helped build momentum over the first half, delivering growth in sales, customer numbers, loyalty and satisfaction. We have also increased both our cash generation and productivity savings, which will drive ongoing investment in our brands. While we expect the macroeconomic environment to remain challenging, our momentum, coupled with exciting plans for the second half, sees us well positioned to deliver full year profit growth.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-1024x743.jpg\" alt=\"Partners of the new Southwick store celebrating the opening outside the front of the shop.\" class=\"wp-image-6770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-1024x743.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-1536x1115.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/waitrose_southwick_opening_0a405-2048x1486.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b__text__block l__space white\" id=\"block-5-text-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<p><strong>Waitrose\u00a0<\/strong>performed ahead of the market with sales surpassing \u00a34bn in the first half for the first time.

We continued to invest for the long term, through a major refurbishment of our Liverpool store, more omnichannel shopping options including \u2018deliver from store\u2019 and rapid online delivery and &#8211; last year &#8211; the return of our 100 year old Never Knowingly Undersold promise, which has continued to drive sales, relevance and value for money perceptions.<\/p>\n<p>These investments and a renewed focus on compelling value, compounded by a sales mix shift towards Technology and Beauty, impacted gross margin in the short term.
