Chairman Sir Ian Gibson admitted that the company had been slow to adapt to the changing UK grocery market.The supermarket chain guided to an underlying pre-tax profit of £325-375m this year, some 30-40% below what the market was expecting, as it unveiled a £1bn investment programme. Larger supermarket groups J Sainsbury and Tesco also declined sharply after the statement, along with Morrison's online joint venture Ocado, which extended losses after disappointing the market with its own results yesterday.
