Online grocery firm Ocado has reported its first annual pre-tax profit since it was launched in 2000.
The company said in the year to November 30 its profit reached £10.1m.
The figure was in line with expectations and comes on the back of a £3.8m loss in the previous year.
The company signed a deal with supermarket chain Morrisons in 2013.
Group sales for the year rose by a fifth, to £1.03bn.
In addition to the deal with Morrisons, Ocado also delivers some products supplied by Waitrose.
Analysts said the online delivery sector was currently growing at around 16% a year, compared to near-zero growth in the traditional store market.
Online grocers currently have around 5% of the UK market, but analysts IDG expect that to more than double to £17bn by 2019.
Ocado said it expected to continue growing and was in talks with potential international partners.
Last month it revealed December sales rose almost 15% year-on-year, and announced plans for a fourth UK distribution centre.
Despite the positive outlook, shares in Ocado have dropped by around a fifth over the last year.
In early trades on Tuesday shares in the company dropped by almost 4%.
