James Hardie Q3 FY20 Results USE OF NON‐GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION; AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENT TERMINOLOGY This Management Presentation includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). These financial measures are designed to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our performance from on‐going operations, capital efficiency and profit generation. Management uses these financial measures for the same purposes. These financial measures include: • Adjusted EBIT; • North America Fiber Cement Segment Adjusted EBIT excluding product line discontinuation; • Europe Building Products Segment Adjusted EBIT excluding costs associated with the acquisition; • Adjusted EBIT margin; • North America Fiber Cement Segment Adjusted EBIT margin excluding product line discontinuation; • Europe Building Products Segment Adjusted EBIT margin excluding costs associated with the acquisition; • Adjusted net operating profit; • Adjusted diluted earnings per share; • Adjusted operating profit before income taxes; • Adjusted income tax expense; • Adjusted effective tax rate; • Adjusted EBITDA; • Adjusted EBITDA excluding Asbestos; and • Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (“Adjusted SG&A”). These financial measures are or may be non‐US GAAP financial measures as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as applicable, in the calculation of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with US GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent US GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments. Additionally, management uses such non‐GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non‐GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with US GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. For additional information regarding the non‐GAAP financial measures presented in this Management Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non‐GAAP financial measure to the equivalent US GAAP measure, see the slide titled “Non‐US GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation. In addition, this Management Presentation includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with US GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies, such as operating profit, EBIT and EBIT margin. Since the Company prepares its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with US GAAP, the Company provides investors with a table and definitions presenting cross‐references between each US GAAP financial measure used in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the equivalent non‐US GAAP financial measure used in this Management Presentation. See the section titled “Non‐US GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation. Page 4
