Trading Statement

 

The Board of James Latham provides the following trading statement ahead of
the Company's results for the year ended 31 March 2026.

Revenue for the year ended 31 March 2026 remains in line with market
expectations, with volumes expected to be slightly up on last year, despite a
challenging trading environment. Cost prices have remained stable throughout
the year, but we are closely monitoring the situation with the conflict in the
Middle East which is starting to cause increasing freight rates and shipment
times.

We anticipate that our profit before tax will be in line with market
expectations.

Construction of our National Distribution Centre, located in Chatteris in East
Anglia, is progressing on time and within budget, and we are expected to be
fully operational on this site by the end of 2027.

The Board plans to report the Company's preliminary results for the year ended
31 March 2026 on 2 July 2026.

 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of
the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended.
