M&S holds its annual meeting on Tuesday
Marks and Spencer has reported a 0.3% rise in underlying sales for the latest quarter, as strong food sales offset a fall in clothing sales.
UK like-for-like sales rose 1.8% at its food business, but general merchandise - which includes clothing, footwear and homewares - fell 1.6%.
Chief executive Mark Bolland said that food had "delivered another excellent performance".
M&S said it remained cautious about the outlook.
International sales rose 8.7%, although the problems in the eurozone affected sales in some areas.
The company holds its annual meeting later on Tuesday.
