                                 Trading Update

                          41 weeks to 10 January 2026

    

   Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. (“Fuller’s” or “the Company”), the premium
   pubs and hotels business, provides the following trading statement for the
   41 weeks to 10 January 2026 (“the period”).

    

   We have maintained our growth momentum with like for like sales for the
   year to date up 5.3%. These figures include an outstanding five-week
   Christmas and New Year season across all parts of the estate, which
   delivered like for like sales growth of 8.2% against a strong Christmas
   last year.

    

   We expect to complete the share buyback programme of one million “A”
   shares within the coming days, and the Board has now approved a further
   buyback programme of up to an additional one million “A” shares, which
   will commence when the current programme has completed.

    

   Executive Chairman, Simon Emeny, said: “I am delighted we have maintained
   our strong growth momentum – in both sales and profitability – and this
   has been further enhanced with an excellent Christmas trading period.

    

   “In addition to this outstanding operational performance, we continue to
   effectively deliver on our capital allocation framework with the ongoing
   share buyback programme and through our extensive programme of capital
   investment, with a number of exciting investment schemes scheduled for the
   final quarter of this financial year.

    

   “Finally, I want to recognise that our success, as ever, is down to the
   amazing team of people that work for Fuller’s across our pubs, hotels and
   support centre. They have gone all out to deliver a fantastic Christmas
   for our customers – and I’d like to publicly thank them for their
   continued hard work and dedication.”

    

   Fuller’s will announce the Company’s full year results for the 52 weeks to
   28 March 2026 on 10 June 2026.
