JAMES HALSTEAD PLC

Chairman's Statement to the Annual General Meeting

James Halstead plc, UK manufacturer and global seller of commercial flooring,
is holding its AGM today at 12 noon at which the Chairman, Mr Mark Halstead,
will make the following statement:

"Firstly, let me welcome you to the 110(th) Annual General Meeting of James
Halstead plc, and my first as Chairman.  As is customary, we will provide a
brief update on the trading for the first few months of the financial year.

It is pleasing that today we will approve another record final dividend, 6.05p
per ordinary share, which also marks the 49(th) year of increase. Cash
balances, since the full year end, have increased and are in line with
comparatives.

As we approach the half year, we can report that revenues within the UK and
North American markets have remained robust, but the challenges faced within
the Central European and Asia Pacific regions have continued.  We continue to
monitor and control costs to mitigate the effect of these challenges.

Looking ahead, as noted in my Chairman's Statement in our 2025 Annual Report
& Accounts, we have continuing product and process improvements and I, and
the Board, remain confident that the future offers many opportunities and
on-going profitable growth."
