It is hard to analyze the trend of sales from 2009 to 2011. The sales fluctuated during this period. The profit increased rapidly from 2002 to 2005, then declined gradually due to the possible reasons of the bad global economy situation and the financial crisis. After Tesco Bank was entirely owned by Tesco, the profit boosted remarkably again such as the growth rate was 65.625% in 2009 and the average growth rate of profit from 2008 to 2011 was 29.72%.

The Tesco pension scheme had changed due to financial problems however this would mean employees who have a pension scheme with Tesco will have to work longer if they were in their early 60's .
