Analyst consensus

Consensus forecast

Where Brokers' PBT forecasts use a different accounting basis, the above numbers have been adjusted to be consistent with J Sainsbury plc's (Sainsbury's) accounting basis under IFRS, that is, they are pre one-off items i.e. £610m in 2009/10.

The forecasts above have been provided to Sainsbury, by a number of registered investment analysts and are, as such, publicly available information. Sainsbury's has not commented on any individual forecasts, nor does it intend to do so in future.

It should be noted that forecasts are by definition forward looking and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties that may materially affect eventual results. Although Sainsbury's will endeavour to procure that the information is kept updated, Sainsbury's assumes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect circumstances existing after the date hereof.
