This second quarter marked our tenth consecutive quarter of delivering growth above market and strong returns. As outlined in our investor day in May 2021, we described our three critical strategic initiatives for fiscal year 2022 through fiscal year 2024: (1) market directly to homeowners to accelerate demand creation, (2) penetrate and drive profitable growth in existing and new segments, especially in Repair & Remodel; and (3) commercialize global innovations by expanding into new categories. Further, we discussed our focus on driving a high value product mix in all three regions.

Media Release: James Hardie - Second Quarter Ended 30 September 2021 1

Media Release 9 November 2021

James Hardie CEO, Dr. Jack Truong, said, “We continue to make excellent progress on our stated global strategy. Our strong execution on this strategy is reflected in second quarter Global Price/Mix growth of +9%, including North America Price/Mix growth of +9%, Europe Price/Mix growth of 8% and Asia Pacific Price/Mix growth of +4%. Our growth momentum in accelerating high value products penetration, which underpins Price/Mix, is the result of 1) enabling our customers to make more money by selling more James Hardie products and 2) marketing directly to the homeowners to create demand of our high value products throughour customers.” Dr. Truong continued, “During the second quarter, we continued the commercialization of Hardie ® Textured Panels in North America, Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding in Australia, and Hardie ® VL Plank in Europe. These products along with the entirety of our high value product mix provide homeowners with products that combine long lasting beauty and endless design possibilities, with trusted protection and low maintenance.”

Commenting on the second quarter financial results, Dr. Truong stated, “This is the fourth consecutive quarter where all three regions delivered double-digit sales growth and double-digit EBIT growth. Globally, quarterly Net Sales grew +23% to US$903.2 million, a new record. Execution on delivering our high value product mix strategy is gaining momentum leading to Global Net Sales increasing +23% on Global volume growth of +14%.” Dr. Truong continued, “Global Adjusted EBIT increased +26% to US$205.7 million, also a new record. Global Adjusted EBIT margin expanded 70 bps to 22.8%. Importantly, the shift to driving growth with a high value product mix combined with the continued execution of LEAN, has enabled us to absorb both high input costs and significant investments in marketing and innovation”.

Commenting on Global capacity additions, Dr. Truong stated, “With the growth momentum we have in delivering high value products, we are now investing in a transformational global capacity expansion program in all three regions. This capacity expansion program reflects our confidence in our ability to drive growth for our high value products by continuing to penetrate new and existing markets through innovation and marketing directly to the homeowners. As we announced last quarter, we expect our global capital expenditure to be between US$250 million and US$350 million per year during FY22, FY23 and FY24.”

In addition to previously announced projects, we will be investing in the following capacity expansions by region during FY22 – FY24:

•North America:

◦Brownfield capacity expansion of our Prattville, Alabama site with the addition of Sheet Machines #3 & #4

◦Purchase of land for a future greenfield site in the United States

•Europe:

◦Fiber Gypsum brownfield expansion at our site in Orejo, Spain

◦Fiber Cement greenfield expansion

•APAC:

◦Greenfield expansion in Victoria, Australia

Media Release: James Hardie - Second Quarter Ended 30 September 2021 2

Media Release 9 November 2021

Dr. Truong concluded, “Our mission is to be a high-performance global company that delivers organic growth above market with strong returns, consistently. Ten consecutive quarters of growth above market with strong returns has led to an acceleration in operating cash flow, which is allowing us to: expand our Global manufacturing capacity, accelerate our growth initiatives, return to ordinary dividends, reduce our debt position, and increase the cash contributions to the Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (AICF).”

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Results

Global: Global Net Sales increased +23% to US$903.2 million, a record, while Global Adjusted EBIT increased +26% to US$205.7 million, also a record. Global Adjusted Net Income increased +29% to a record US$154.9 million, compared to US$120.5 million. Global Adjusted EBIT margin of 22.8%, supported by continued operational improvement across all three operating regions: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

North America Fiber Cement Segment: Net Sales increased +23% to US$635.3 million, a record, driven by growing momentum in the execution of our high value product mix strategy that delivered Price/Mix growth of +9%, with strong volume growth of +14% in the quarter. Execution of our push/pull strategy continued to deliver market share gains with Exteriors volume growth of +16%. LEAN manufacturing initiatives continued to generate improved performance across the Company’s North American manufacturing network, helping to deliver +23% Adjusted EBIT growth to a record US$182.5 million at a 28.7% Adjusted EBIT margin.

Dr. Truong remarked, “Our North America business delivered an exceptional and record quarter for Net Sales and EBIT driven by the region’s execution of the high value product mix strategy. With 1) our commercial team partnering closely with our customers, 2) our focus on creating demand by marketing directly to the homeowner, and 3) the additional capacity provided by our on-time ramp up of Prattville Sheet Machines #1 & #2, we believe we are poised to continue to drive strong Net Sales growth with strong returns while gaining market share.”

Europe Building Products Segment: Net sales increased +23% to €104.6 million, as we partnered with our customers to drive a high value product mix, this resulted in Price/Mix growth of +8%. Fiber cement Net Sales grew +40%. Adjusted EBIT increased +51% to €14.2 million, with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 13.6%. Adjusted EBIT margin expansion was driven by strong Net Sales, very good growth of high margin fiber cement products and fiber gypsum flooring products, and LEAN manufacturing savings, partially offset by higher input costs.

Dr. Truong remarked, “It is very pleasing to see transformation and momentum building in our European business. This is the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit Net Sales growth and double-digit Adjusted EBIT margins. Our Strategy of delivering high value products resulted in fiber cement sales growing +40% and fiber gypsum sales growing +20% in the quarter.”

Asia Pacific Fiber Cement Segment: Net sales increased +15% to A$196.6 million, a record. Adjusted EBIT increased +12% to A$60.6 million, also a record, at an Adjusted EBIT margin of 30.8%. Similar to North America and Europe, our Australia and New Zealand businesses gained traction and momentum in the execution of our high value product mix strategy, with a Price/Mix growth of +9% in the quarter.

Media Release: James Hardie - Second Quarter Ended 30 September 2021 3

Media Release 9 November 2021

Dr. Truong remarked, “The APAC region has delivered another strong set of results. Building momentum with high value products and partnering closely with our customers has allowed Australia and New Zealand to deliver strong Price/Mix growth for the quarter.”

For more on our commitment to Sustainability including our goals, see our FY21 Sustainability Report athttps://ir.jameshardie.com.au/esg/sustainability

Capital Resources

Strong operating cash flow generation of US$357.5 million in the first half was driven by continuous improvement in our LEAN manufacturing performance, strong profitable organic sales growth and the integration of our supply chain with our customers. Working capital improved by US$4.9 million during the first half of fiscal year 2022. We achieved global LEAN savings of US$155.4 million over the 30-month period since the inception of LEAN, including US$110.7 million LEAN savings in North America. We have already surpassed our North America business’ 3 year LEAN savings commitment of US$100 million, and 6 months early.

James Hardie CFO, Jason Miele, stated, “We continued to deliver strong cash flow generation in the first half, with operating cash flow of US$357.5 million. Our continued strong cash flow has enabled us to reinstate returns to shareholders, with an ordinary dividend for the first half of fiscal year 2022, which we declared today of US$ 40 cents per share. The record date is November 19th, with payment on December 17th. Our strong cash flows have also helped to continue to improve our contributions to the AICF, contributions in FY21 and FY22 will total A$549.1 million, and through 30 September 2021 we have now contributed A$1.7 billion since the inception of the AICF. We are pleased that the AICF now has a balance of cash and investments totaling over A$253 million as of 31 October 2021."

Outlook and Earnings Guidance

Based on the continued, strong execution of the global strategy across all three regions and the expectation for continued residential and market growth in the USA, the Company is raising its guidance for fiscal year 2022, ending 31 March 2022. Management now expects fiscal year 2022 Adjusted Net Income to be between US$580 million and US$600 million, compared to the prior range of US$550 million and US$590 million. The comparable prior year Adjusted Net Income for fiscal year 2021 was US$458.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information; Australian Equivalent Terminology

This Media Release includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), such as Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBIT. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent 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 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. The Company is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial measure for future periods due to, amongst other factors, uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Media Release, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Company’s Management’s Analysis of Results for the second quarter ended 30 September 2021.

Media Release: James Hardie - Second Quarter Ended 30 September 2021 6

Media Release 9 November 2021

In addition, this Media Release includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies, such as EBIT and EBIT margin. Since the Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Media Release to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Company’s Management’s Analysis of Results for the second quarter ended 30 September 2021.

Management’s Analysis of Results

This Management’s Analysis of Results forms part of a package of information about James Hardie Industries plc’s results. It should be read in conjunction with the other parts of this package, including the Media Release, the Management Presentation and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as otherwise indicated in this Management’s Analysis of Results, James Hardie Industries plc is referred to as “JHI plc.” JHI plc, together with its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as “James Hardie,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” Definitions for certain capitalized terms used in this Management’s Analysis of Results can be found in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

This Management’s Analysis of Results includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measures. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its financial condition and operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. These measures exclude the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments, or significant non-recurring items, such as asset impairments, restructuring expenses, as well as adjustments to tax expense. In addition, management provides an adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the tax impact of the pre-tax special items (items listed above) and tax special items. Management believes that this non-GAAP tax measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors may find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting and is an alternative method of assessing the economic impact of taxes on the Company, as it more closely approximates payments to taxing authorities. Management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with 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’s Analysis of Results, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” In addition, this Management’s Analysis of Results includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies. Since James Hardie prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Management’s Analysis of Results to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

•Net salesincreased 23% to US$903.2 million, driven by global volume growth of 14% and 9% Price/Mix growth as we continue to execute our global strategy of driving high value product mix.

•Adjusted EBIT increased 26% to US$205.7 million with an adjusted EBIT margin of 22.8%. On a global basis, the shift to driving growth with a high value product mix combined with the continued execution of LEAN, enabled us to absorb both higher input costs and significant investments in marketing and innovation, which led to an increase in SG&A of 17%.

In the first quarter, the Company announced its critical strategic initiatives for the next three fiscal years. These include: (1) marketing directly to homeowners to accelerate demand creation, (2) penetrating and driving profitable growth in existing and new segments and (3) commercializing global innovations.Further, the Company reiterated its focus on continuing to drive a high value product mix in all three operating segments. The second quarter consolidated results illustrate the strong momentum of delivering on these stated strategic goals. Additionally, we continued the commercialization of Hardie® Textured Panels in North America, Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding in Australia, and Hardie® VL Plank in Europe.

Q2 FY22 vs Q2 FY21

Net sales increased 23%, primarily driven by strong exteriors volume growth of 16%. Price/Mix increased 9% driven by the strategic price increase in January 2021 and the execution of our strategy to drive a high value product mix.

The increase in gross margin is comprised of the following components:

Higher average net sales price	4.9	pts
Higher production and distribution costs	(4.8	pts)
Total percentage point change in gross margin	0.1	pts

Higher production and distribution costs primarily resulted from higher input costs, freight costs and start-up costs related to the Prattville plant.

SG&A expenses increased 28%, driven by our strategy to market directly to the homeowner and strategic investments in growth initiatives, compared to cost containment actions taken in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 0.3 percentage points.

EBIT margin decreased 0.2 percentage points to 28.7%, driven by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.

Management's Analysis of Results: James Hardie - 2nd Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 3

OPERATING RESULTS

Six Months FY22 vs Six Months FY21

Net sales increased 25%, primarily driven by strong exteriors volume growth of 19%, as well as interiors volume growth of 6%. Price/Mix increased 8% driven by the strategic price increase in January 2021 and the execution of our strategy to drive a high value product mix.

The increase in gross margin is comprised of the following components:

Higher average net sales price	4.1	pts
Higher production and distribution costs	(3.8	pts)
Total percentage point change in gross margin	0.3	pts

Higher production and distribution costs primarily resulted from higher freight costs, start-up costs related to the Prattville plant and higher input costs. These increases were partially offset by favorable absorption of manufacturing costs on higher production volumes when compared against lower COVID-19 impacted production volumes in the prior year.

SG&A expenses increased 29%, driven by our strategy to market directly to the homeowner and strategic investments in growth initiatives, compared to cost containment actions taken in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 0.2 percentage points.

Restructuring expenses of US$2.5 million in the prior year consist solely of severance costs related to a reduction in headcount across the region in order to strategically realign our resources.

EBIT margin increased 0.3 pts percentage points to 29.0%, driven by lower restructuring expenses and higher gross margin, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.

Management's Analysis of Results: James Hardie - 2nd Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 5

OPERATING RESULTS

Q2 FY22 vs Q2 FY21 (A$)

Net sales increased 15%, primarily due to strong performance in Australia. Price/Mix in Australia and New Zealand increased 9% due to the execution of our high value product mix strategy.

The increase in gross margin can be attributed to the following components:

Higher average net sales price	2.8	pts
Higher production and distribution costs	(2.0	pts)
Total percentage point change in gross margin	0.8	pts

Higher production and distribution costs were driven by higher input costs, primarily pulp, as well as higher costs due to producing a high value product mix.

SG&A expenses increased, driven by our reinvestment into growth, primarily in Australia. These growth initiatives included higher marketing expenses and additional headcount, compared to cost containment actions taken in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 1.8 percentage points.

EBIT margin of 30.8% represents a decrease of 0.9 percentage points, primarily driven by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.

Six Months FY22 vs Six Months FY21 (A$)

Net sales increased 23%, as all three regions experienced strong volume growth, compared to lower volumes in the prior year due to the COVID-19 government enforced lockdowns in the Philippines and New Zealand. The 1% increase in the average net sales price was driven by our execution of our high value product mix strategy in Australia and New Zealand, where Price/Mix increased 9%. This was offset by geographic mix, as a higher proportion of our sales were in the Philippines which have a lower average net sales price. Volumes in the Philippines increased 67%.

The increase in gross margin can be attributed to the following components:

Lower production and distribution costs	2.0	pts
Higher average net sales price	0.4	pts
Total percentage point change in gross margin	2.4	pts

Lower production and distribution costs were driven by favorable plant performance including LEAN manufacturing savings in Australia, the efficiencies realized from shifting to an import model for the New Zealand region and a higher proportion of sales in the Philippines which have a lower cost.

SG&A expenses increased, primarily driven by higher marketing expenses and our investment in additional headcount to drive growth, compared to cost containment actions taken in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 1.7 percentage points.

In the prior year, restructuring expenses of A$4.9 million consist solely of severance costs, primarily associated with our strategic decision to shift our New Zealand regional production to our two Australia based plants, and a reduction in headcount across the region to realign our resources.

EBIT margin of 29.2% represents an increase of 2.2 percentage points, primarily driven by higher gross margin and lower restructuring expenses, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.

Management's Analysis of Results: James Hardie - 2nd Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 7

OPERATING RESULTS

Q2 FY22 vs Q2 FY21 (€)

Net sales increased 23%, driven by increases in fiber cement and fiber gypsum net sales of 40% and 20%, respectively. The increase in net sales was due to higher volumes and Price/Mix improvement. Price/Mix increased 8%, due to our continued execution of a shift to a higher value mix in both our fiber cement and fiber gypsum product lines.

The decrease in gross margin is attributed to the following components:

Higher production and distribution costs	(6.1	pts)
Higher average net sales price	3.8	pts
Total percentage point change in gross margin	(2.3	pts)

Production and distribution costs were unfavorable due to higher input costs, primarily paper and energy, as well as freight expenses.

SG&A expenses decreased slightly due to a bad debt reserve taken in the prior year, which more than offset our continued investment in headcount growth and marketing. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 4.3 percentage points primarily driven by higher net sales in the current year.

EBIT margin of 13.6% increased 2.5 percentage points, driven by lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales, partially offset by lower gross margin.

Six Months FY22 vs Six Months FY21 (€)

Net sales increased 29% driven by increases in fiber cement and fiber gypsum net sales of 61% and 24%, respectively. The increase in net sales was partly driven by low volumes in Q1 of the prior year resulting from the COVID-19 government enforced shutdowns in the UK and France. Additionally, the execution of our push/pull strategy and the introduction of our newHardie® VL Plank product in Q1 this year led to higher net sales. Price/Mix increased 8%, due to our continued execution of a shift to a higher value mix in both our fiber cement and fiber gypsum product lines.

The increase in gross margin is attributed to the following components:

Higher average net sales price	4.2	pts
Higher production and distribution costs	(3.2	pts)
Total percentage point change in gross margin	1.0	pts

Higher production and distribution costs were driven by higher input costs, partially offset by LEAN manufacturing savings and the unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs on lower production volumes in the prior year, which included the impact of the COVID-19 related closures of our manufacturing plants in Orejo, Spain and Siglingen, Germany.

SG&A expenses decreased slightly from prior year as described above. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 4.8 percentage points driven by higher net sales in the current year.

In the prior year, restructuring expenses of €4.5 million consist solely of severance costs, primarily associated with the reduction of headcount across the region to strategically realign our resources.

EBIT margin of 13.3% increased 8.7 percentage points, driven by lower restructuring expenses, lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales and higher gross margin.

General Corporate costs		$	20.4	$	45.5	(55)	$	53.4	$	134.2	(60)

General Corporate SG&A expenses for the quarter and six month period increased US$0.8 million and US$11.6 million, respectively. For the six month period, the increase was primarily driven by an investment in global growth initiatives including talent and costs related to building our brand.

Asbestos adjustments primarily reflect the non-cash foreign exchange re-measurement impact on asbestos related balance sheet items, driven by the change in the AUD/USD spot exchange rate from the beginning balance sheet date to the ending balance sheet date, for each respective period, partially offset by gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts related to future AICF payments.

Readers are referred to Note 6 of our 30 September 2021 condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on asbestos.

Gross interest expense for the quarter and six month period decreased US$4.8 million and US$9.2 million, respectively, primarily due to the redemption of our 2025 senior unsecured notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in capitalized interest is due to a lower average amount of accumulated capital expansion project spend, primarily due to commissioning of Prattville, Alabama plant.

OTHER INFORMATION

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

Our cash position decreased by US$75.7 million, from US$208.5 million at 31 March 2021 to US$132.8 million at 30 September 2021.

During fiscal year 2022, we will contribute A$328.2 million to AICF in quarterly installments. The first payment of A$82.0 million was made 1 July 2021.

Based on our existing cash balances, together with anticipated operating cash flows and unutilized credit facilities, we anticipate we will have sufficient funds to meet our planned working capital and other expected cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Capital Management

We periodically review our capital structure and capital allocation objectives and expect the following capital management focus in the short term:

•Preserve and enable strong liquidity position and financial flexibility;

•Invest in organic growth: capacity expansion, market driven innovation and marketing directly to the homeowner;

•Maintain leverage ratio of 1-2x; and

•Return capital to shareholders

◦Returned US$309.9 million through special dividend in April 2021

◦Reinstated ordinary dividends in FY22, beginning with a half-year dividend of US$ 40 cents declared on 9 November 2021

Page 2 James Hardie Q2 FY22 Results CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Management Presentation contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. James Hardie Industries plc (the “Company”) may from time to time make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 20-F and 6-K, in its annual reports to shareholders, in media releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by the Company’s officers, directors or employees to analysts, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “forecast,” “guideline,” “aim,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “continue,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events and conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond the Company’s control. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied in this Management Presentation, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Section 3 “Risk Factors” in James Hardie’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 March 2021; changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which the Company does business, including the impact of COVID-19; changes in interest rates; changes in inflation rates; changes in exchange rates; the level of construction generally; changes in cement demand and prices; changes in raw material and energy prices; changes in business strategy and various other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. James Hardie assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this Management Presentation except as required by law. This Management Presentation includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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 are or may be non-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 GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent 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 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 GAAP measure, see the slide titled “Non-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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Management Presentation to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of James Hardie Industries plc

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of James Hardie Industries plc (“the Company”) as of 30 September 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six-month periods ended 30 September 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of 31 March 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated 18 May 2021, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 31 March 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

James Hardie Industries plc ("JHI plc") manufactures and sells fiber cement, fiber gypsum and cement-bonded building products for interior and exterior building construction applications, primarily in the United States, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, the Philippines and Canada.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2021 from which the prior year balance sheet information herein was derived. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of JHI plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, JHI plc and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIE (as of the time relevant to the applicable reference) are collectively referred to as “James Hardie”, the “James Hardie Group” or the “Company”. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

The Company has recorded on its balance sheet certain foreign assets and liabilities, including asbestos related assets and liabilities under the terms of the Amended and Restated Final Funding Agreement (“AFFA”), that are denominated in foreign currencies and subject to translation (foreign entities) or remeasurement (Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (“AICF”) entity and Euro denominated debt) into US dollars at each reporting date. Unless otherwise noted, the Company converts foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into US dollars at the current spot rate at the end of the reporting period; while revenues and expenses are converted using an average exchange rate for the period. The Company records gains and losses on its Euro denominated debt which are economically offset by foreign exchange gains and losses on loans between subsidiaries, resulting in a net immaterial translation gain or loss which is recorded in the Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the six months ended 30 September 2021, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2021.

Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in the standard are being issued to simplify the accounting for income taxes and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after 15 December 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 starting with the fiscal year beginning 1 April 2021 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares calculated using the Treasury Method that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares, such as restricted stock units ("RSUs"), had been issued.

Basic and dilutive common shares outstanding used in determining net income per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended 30 September		Six Months Ended 30 September
(Millions of shares)	2021	2020	2021	2020
Basic common shares outstanding	444.7	443.4	444.5	443.3
Dilutive effect of stock awards	1.3	1.4	1.4	1.4
Diluted common shares outstanding	446.0	444.8	445.9	444.7

There were no potential common shares which would be considered anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020.

Potential common shares of 0.5 million for the three and six months ended 30 September 2021, respectively, and 1.0 million for the three and six months ended 30 September 2020, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding as they are considered contingent shares which are not expected to vest.

Under the terms of the AFFA, the Company has rights of access to actuarial information produced for AICF by the actuary appointed by AICF, which is currently KPMG Actuarial. The Company’s disclosures with respect to claims statistics are subject to it obtaining such information, however, the AFFA does not provide the Company an express right to audit or otherwise require independent verification of such information or the methodologies to be adopted by the approved actuary. As such, the Company relies on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by AICF to the approved actuary and the resulting information and analysis of the approved actuary when making disclosures with respect to claims statistics.

7.  Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivatives for risk management purposes and does not engage in speculative activity. A risk management objective for the Company is to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company’s external credit facilities and foreign currency risk primarily with respect to forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The determination of whether the Company enters into a derivative transaction to achieve these risk management objectives depends on a number of factors, including an evaluation of the extent to which derivative instruments will achieve such risk management objectives of the Company.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued using models that maximize the use of market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table sets forth the total outstanding notional amount and the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts:

					Fair Value as of
(Millions of US dollars)	Notional Amount				30 September 2021				31 March 2021

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and administrative actions related to the normal conduct of its business, including general liability claims, putative class action lawsuits and litigation concerning its products.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal proceeding, management believes that such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos and New Zealand product liability claims as described in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Zealand Weathertightness Claims

Since fiscal year 2002, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have been joined in a number of weathertightness claims in New Zealand that relate to residential buildings (single dwellings and apartment complexes) and a small number of non-residential buildings, primarily constructed from 1998 to 2004. The claims often involve multiple parties and allege that losses were incurred due to excessive moisture penetration of the buildings’ structures. The claims typically include allegations of poor building design, inadequate certification of plans, inadequate construction review and compliance certification and deficient work by sub-contractors.

Historically, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have been joined to these claims as one of several co-defendants, including local government entities responsible for enforcing building codes and practices, resulting in the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries becoming liable for only a portion of each claim. In addition, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have had access to third-party recoveries to defray a portion of the costs incurred in resolving such claims.

In 2015, the Company and/or its subsidiaries were named as the sole defendants in four claims on behalf of multiple defendants, two of which are still pending and each of which allege that the New Zealand subsidiaries’ products were inherently defective. The Company believes it has substantial factual and legal defenses to these claims and is defending the claims vigorously.

Cridge, et al. (Case Nos. CIV-2015-485-594 and CIV-2015-485-773), In the High Court of New Zealand, Wellington Registry (hereinafter the “Cridge litigation”). From August to December 2020, the trial of phase one of the Cridge litigation was held in Wellington, New Zealand solely to determine whether the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries had a duty to the plaintiffs and breached that duty. On 12 August 2021, the Wellington High Court issued its decision finding in favor of the Company on all claims (the “Cridge Decision”).Subsequently, on 8 September 2021, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the trial Court’s decision. The Company anticipates the appellate court to issue its decision no sooner than September 2022. As of 30 September 2021, the Company has not recorded a reserve related to the Cridge litigation as the chance of loss remains not probable following the Cridge Decision.

Waitakere, et al. (Case No. CIV-2015-404-3080), In the High Court of New Zealand, Auckland Registry (hereinafter the “Waitakere litigation”). The trial in the Waitakere litigation is currently not scheduled to begin until May 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. As of 30 September 2021, the Company has not recorded a reserve related to the Waitakere litigation as the chance of loss is not probable and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.

F-15

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The other two claims filed in 2015 have been resolved completely in the Company’s favor. The litigation known as “The Hub” was voluntarily discontinued by the plaintiffs. The “White litigation” was settled on 3 August 2021 on terms completely favorable to the Company.

The resolution of one or more of the litigation matters by way of a court decision or settlement has the potential to impact the accounting treatment regarding the probability of a potential loss and the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate a reserve with regards to the other litigation matters discussed above. Furthermore, an adverse judgement in one or more of these litigation matters could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental and Legal

The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to several laws and regulations on air and water quality, waste handling and disposal. The Company’s policy is to accrue for environmental costs when it is determined that it is probable that an obligation exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

9.  Income Taxes

Income taxes payable represents taxes currently payable which are computed at statutory income tax rates applicable to taxable income derived in each jurisdiction in which the Company conducts business. During the six months ended 30 September 2021, the Company paid taxes, net of refunds, of US$37.2 million.

Income tax expense differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s mix of pre-tax income by jurisdiction, foreign taxes on domestic income and foreign exchange on asbestos.

Deferred income taxes include net operating loss carry-forwards. At 30 September 2021, the Company had tax loss carry-forwards in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US of approximately US$61.4 million that are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdiction. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Australian tax loss carry-forwards primarily result from current and prior year tax deductions for contributions to AICF. James Hardie 117 Pty Limited, the performing subsidiary under the AFFA, is able to claim a tax deduction for its contributions to AICF over a five-year period commencing in the year the contribution is incurred. At 30 September 2021, the Company recognized a tax deduction of US$73.7 million (A$97.9 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of A$979.1 million incurred in tax years 2018 through 2022.

11.  Segment Information

The North America Fiber Cement segment manufactures fiber cement interior linings, exterior siding products and related accessories in the United States; these products are sold primarily in the United States and Canada. The Asia Pacific Fiber Cement segment includes all fiber cement products manufactured in Australia and the Philippines, and sold in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and various Pacific Islands. The Europe Building Products segment includes fiber gypsum and cement-bonded boards manufactured in Europe and fiber cement product manufactured in the United States that is sold in Europe. The Research and Development segment represents the cost incurred by the research and development centers. General Corporate primarily consist of Asbestos adjustments, officer and employee compensation and related benefits, professional and legal fees, administrative costs and rental expense, net of rental income, on the Company’s corporate offices. The Company does not report net interest expense for each segment as the segments are not held directly accountable for interest expense.
