The financial information in this preliminary results announcement does not
constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the 52 weeks ended 27 November

2006.  The statutory accounts for 2015 have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The auditors have reported on the Group's statutory accounts for
the 52 weeks ended 27 November 2016; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii)

 The Group's statutory accounts will be delivered to the Registrar of
Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting. 
 
The financial year represents the 52 weeks ended 27 November 2016 (the prior
financial year represents the 52 weeks ended 29 November 2015).  The
consolidated financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 27 November 2016
comprise the financial statements of Ocado Group plc (the "Company"), its
subsidiaries and the Group's interest in a jointly controlled entity (the
"Group"). 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Listing
Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Services
Authority (where applicable), International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") and International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretation
Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations as endorsed by the European Union
("IFRS-EU"), and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to
companies reporting under IFRS.  The accounting policies applied are
consistent with those described in the annual report and financial statements
for the 52 weeks ended 29 November 2015 of Ocado Group plc. 
 
The financial information is presented in sterling, rounded to the nearest
hundred thousand unless otherwise stated. The financial information has been
prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation
of financial asset investments and certain financial assets and liabilities,
which are held at fair value. 
 
The Directors are satisfied that the Company and the Group as a whole have
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the financial information.

financial period or issued that are effective 
 
The Group has considered the following new standards, interpretations and

The following new standards are not yet effective and the impact on the Group
is currently under review: 
 
-       IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (endorsed by the EU)
provides on the recognition and measurement of revenue. The standard
establishes a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and is based
on the concept of recognising revenue for obligations only when they are
satisfied and the control of goods or services is transferred. This applies to
all contracts with customers except those in the scope of other standards.
This new standard will replace IAS 12 "Revenue" and is effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 unless adopted early. The Group
is currently reviewing the impact of IFRS 15. 
 
-       IFRS 16 "Leases" (endorsed by the EU) provides guidance on the
classification, recognition and measurement of leases to help provide useful
information to the users of financial statements. The main aim of this
standard is to ensure all leases will be reflected on the balance sheet,
irrespective of substance over form. The new standard will replace IAS 17
"Leases" and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2019 unless adopted early. The Group is currently reviewing the impact of IFRS
16. 
 
Use of alternative performance measures 
 
The Group uses EBITDA as an alternative performance measure ("APM") to explain
and judge its performance. The Directors consider EBITDA to be a useful
measure of the Group's operating performance because it approximates the
underlying operating cash flow. 
 
The Group defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation
of property, plant and equipment, amortisation of intangible assets,
impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and
exceptional items. 
 
As EBITDA is not defined under IFRS, it is described as a 'non-GAAP' measure. 
 
A reconciliation from operating profit, the most directly comparable IFRS
measure to EBITDA, is shown below the consolidated income statement. 
 
Section 2 - Results for the year 
 
2.1 Segmental reporting 
 
The Group's principal activities are grocery retailing and the development and
monetisation of Intellectual Property ("IP") and technology used for the
online retailing, logistics and distribution of grocery and consumer goods,
currently derived solely from the UK. The Group is not reliant on any major
customer for 10% or more of its revenue. 
 
In accordance with IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", an operating segment is
defined as a business activity whose operating results are reviewed by the
chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") and for which discrete information is
available. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the CODM, as required by IFRS 8. The CODM, who
is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Directors. 
 
The principal activities of the Group are currently managed as one segment.
Consequently, all activities relate to this segment. 
 
The CODM's main indicator of performance of the segment is EBITDA, which is
reconciled to operating profit below the income statement. 
 
2.2 Gross sales 
 
A reconciliation of revenue to gross sales is as follows: 
 
                       52 weeks ended 27 November 2016    52 weeks ended 29 November 2015  
                       £m                                 £m

2.3 Earnings per share 
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to
equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the period, excluding ordinary shares held pursuant to
the Group's joint share ownership scheme ("JSOS") which are accounted for as
treasury shares. 
 
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion or vesting of all
dilutive potential shares. The Company has two (2015: two) classes of
instruments that are potentially dilutive, namely share options and shares
held pursuant to the JSOS. 
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share has been calculated as follows: 
 
                                                                                                 52 weeks ended 27 November 2016         52 weeks ended 29 November 2015

Head office relocation costs 
 
Following the growth of the business, the Group decided to relocate its head
office.  The move to the new premises is being completed in stages to minimise
the impact on the business and the Group has incurred dual running costs as it
transitions to the new premises.  Due to the one-off nature of the head office
move, these costs have been treated as exceptional. 
 
Litigation costs 
 
The Group has incurred litigation costs relating to the recovery of
interchange fees for card transactions. The fees relating to this are material
and non-recurring and have therefore been treated as exceptional.

Included in the total number of ordinary shares outstanding above are
32,830,613 (2015: 34,770,981) ordinary shares held by the Group's employee
benefit trust (see Note 4.4(a)). The ordinary shares held by the trustee of
the Group's employee benefit trust pursuant to the JSOS are treated as
treasury shares in the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with IAS 32
''Financial Instruments: Presentation''. These ordinary shares have voting
rights but these have been waived by the trustee (although the trustee may
vote in respect of shares that have vested and remain in the trust). The
number of allotted, called up and fully paid shares, excluding treasury
shares, at the end of each period differs from that used in the basic earnings
per share calculation in Note 2.3 as basic earnings per share is calculated
using the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
period, excluding treasury shares.

(a) Treasury shares reserve 
 
This reserve arose when the Group issued equity share capital under its JSOS,
which is held in trust by the trustee of the Group's employee benefit trust.
Treasury shares cease to be accounted for as such when they are sold outside
the Group or the interest is transferred in full to the participant pursuant
to the terms of the JSOS.  Participant interests in unexercised shares held by
participants are not included in the calculation of treasury shares; unvested
interests of leavers which have been reacquired by the Group's employee
benefit trust during the period are not accounted for as treasury shares. 
 
(b) Fair value reserve 
 
The fair value reserve comprises gains and losses on movements in the Group's
cash flow hedges, which consist of commodity swaps and foreign currency
hedges. 
 
4.5 Capital commitments 
 
Contracts placed for future capital expenditure but not provided for in the
