Supervalu has taken a number of steps to improve its performance, including the closure of underperforming stores and debt refinancing.

The company emphasised that losses were driven by one-off charges related to its turnaround plan. Excluding charges, Supervalu said its business would have broken even. 

Sales slid from $8.43bn to $8.04bn in the period. The decline was the result of lower same-store sales and the disposal of the majority of its forecourt business, which contributed $158m to quarterly sales in 2012.
