Likewise Group plc

("Likewise", or the "Company")

 Freehold Purchase, Trading Update, Notice of Results and Investor
Presentation

Likewise Group plc (AIM:LIKE), the fast growing and progressive Flooring
Distributor in the UK, is pleased to make the following updates:

Freehold Purchase

Likewise has acquired the freehold of a 2nd Distribution Hub in Leeds for
£3.0 million, utilising its current banking facilities. This will streamline
the Group's supply chain management of Palletised goods from the Far East and
Europe, allowing the planning of incoming containers to be far more efficient
and also release capacity at our other Centres.

Trading Update

Total Group Revenue in the first 3 months to 31 March 2026 has increased to
£44.2 million, up 15.2% against the corresponding period last year, with
April month to date showing a similar positive trend. This represents
significant increases in market share and notwithstanding the worldwide
uncertainties, provides confidence in the Group achieving its future
objectives.

The extension in Newport is on schedule to be operational as planned in July
2026. The additional storage and cutting will provide extra capacity and with
the new investment in Leeds, will support the Group's strategy of growing
sales revenue towards £250 million.

The Board is also considering other Freehold projects to meaningfully increase
the Group's logistics capacity which would allow Likewise Floors and Valley
Wholesale Carpets the additional capacity to service the UK market demand for
our Suppliers and Customers.

The Group has increasing Net Assets further strengthening the Balance Sheet
and the support from our principal bankers to make these Freehold investments.
This demonstrates the confidence the Board and all stakeholders have in the
significant growth potential in Sales and subsequent Profitability of Likewise
Group.
