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 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended 30 September 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended 30 September 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) for the three and six-month periods ended 30 September 2019 and 2018, 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 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated 21 May 2019, 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 2019, 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
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. On 3 April 2018, JHI plc completed the acquisition of German-based XI (DL) Holdings GmbH (n/k/a James Hardie Europe Holdings 2) and its subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, Fermacell GmbH (n/k/a James Hardie Europe GmbH)) (collectively, "Fermacell"). Fermacell manufactures and sells fiber gypsum and cement-bonded building products primarily in continental Europe.
Basis of Presentation
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 entities ("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” or the “Company.” These interim 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 2019, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 21 May 2019, and subsequently amended on 8 August 2019.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to state fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at 30 September 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018 and the condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018.
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. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and may be offset by other transactions. For the three and six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain relating to its Euro denominated debt which was economically offset by a foreign exchange loss on loans between subsidiaries resulting in a net translation gain of US$1.0 million and US$0.7 million, respectively, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended 30 September 2018, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain relating to its Euro denominated debt which was economically offset by a foreign exchange loss on loans between subsidiaries resulting in a net translation gain of US$0.1 million and US$1.9 million, respectively, which was recorded in the Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements of operations and comprehensive income.
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The results of operations for the three and six months ended 30 September 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at 31 March 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements in this interim financial report.
Significant Accounting Policies - Leases
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 ("ASC 842"), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC Topic 840, starting with fiscal year beginning 1 April 2019, with the impact of initial application recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of US$0.2 million. As a result of the adoption of this standard, the Company has changed its accounting policy for leases, as outlined below.
At lease commencement, which is generally when the Company takes possession of the asset, the Company records a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of minimum lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Determining the lease term and amount of lease payments to include in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability for leases containing options requires the use of judgment to determine whether the exercise of an option is reasonably certain, and if the option period and payments should be included in the calculation of the associated ROU asset and liability. In making this determination, the Company considers all relevant economic factors that would compel the Company to exercise an option. The Company’s leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit borrowing rate. As such, the discount rate used to calculate present value is the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, which is primarily based upon the periodic risk-adjusted interest margin and the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments include base rent as well as fixed escalation of rental payments. In determining minimum lease payments, the Company separates non-lease components such as common area maintenance or other miscellaneous expenses that are updated based on landlord estimates for real estate leases. Additionally, many of the Company’s transportation and equipment leases require additional payments based on the underlying usage of the assets such as mileage and maintenance costs. Due to the variable nature of these costs, the cash flows associated with these costs are expensed as incurred and not included in the lease payments used to determine the ROU asset and associated lease liability.
ROU assets represent the right to control the use of the leased asset during the lease term and are initially recognized as an amount equal to the lease liability. In addition, prepaid rent, initial direct costs, and adjustments for lease incentives are components of the ROU asset. Over the lease term, the lease expense is amortized on a straight-line basis beginning on the lease commencement date. ROU assets are assessed for impairment as part of the impairment of long-lived assets, which is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
A ROU asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, and the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 5 for further details.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Immaterial Change in Statement of Cash Flows Line Items
In connection with the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company determined that amounts previously reported in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 September 2018, reflected an error in the amount of purchases of property, plant and equipment which were not yet paid. This error overstated net cash used in investing activities by US$0.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2018, with an equal overstatement of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended 30 September 2018.
The Company also determined that this error occurred for the twelve months ended 31 March 2019 and 2018, which resulted in an understatement of net cash used in investing activities of US$16.4 million and US$6.5 million, respectively, with an equal understatement of net cash provided by operating activities.
This error had no effect on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income or statements of changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) as of and for the three and six months ended 30 September 2018 and for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018.
In accordance with the relevant guidance, management evaluated the materiality of the error from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Based on such evaluation, the Company concluded that the error did not have a material impact on the previously reported condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 September 2018 nor the twelve months ended 31 March 2019 and 2018, or affect the trend of financial results. The amounts presented within this report in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been adjusted for the six months ended 30 September 2018, and the Company will adjust future filings for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 2018, as set forth in the following table:

| | | | | | | | |
The understatement of cash flows from operating activities for the year ended 31 March 2018 resulted in a recalculation of the payment to AICF. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a payment of US$8.0 million representing the cash flow error was paid to AICF along with the payment of US$100.9 million representing 35% of the Company's as reported free cash flow for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2019. See Note 9 for AICF funding.

2. Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, which provides guidance on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current guidance, however ASU No. 2016-02 will provide improvements that are intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee model and with updated revenue recognition guidance. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 shall be applied on a modified retrospective basis, and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2018, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which provided a second accepted transition method, which would allow companies to adopt the new lease standard as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption, rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB) starting with fiscal year beginning 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method outlined in ASU No. 2018-11 with the impact of initial application recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment of US$0.2 million. Further, the Company recognized a ROU asset of US$79.7 million and a lease liability of US$82.0 million, with the offsetting balance representing a reduction in the previously recognized deferred rent balance at 1 April 2019. As of the date of adoption, there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 5 for further details.
Recently Issued
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The amendments in ASU No. 2019-04 are being issued as updates related to ASU No. 2016-01, ASU No. 2016-13 and ASU No. 2017-12. The amendments in ASU No. 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2019-04 starting with the fiscal year beginning 1 April 2020 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Earnings Per Share
The Company discloses basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic 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 stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), had been issued.
Basic and diluted 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) | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2019 | | 2018 |

|
Net income per share - diluted | $ | 0.23 |
| | $ | 0.16 |
| | $ | 0.43 |
| | $ | 0.36 |
|
There were no potential common shares which would be considered anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018.
Unless they are anti-dilutive, RSU’s which vest solely based on continued employment are considered to be outstanding as of their issuance date for purposes of computing diluted EPS and are included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the Treasury Method. Once these RSU’s vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.
RSU’s which vest based on performance or market conditions are considered contingent shares. At each reporting date prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company determines the number of contingently issuable shares to include in the diluted EPS calculation, as the number of shares that would be issuable under the terms of the RSU arrangement, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Once these RSU’s vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.
Potential common shares of 1.0 million for the three and six months ended 30 September 2019 and 2.1 million and 1.9 million for the three and six months ended 30 September 2018, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding as they are considered contingent shares which are not expected to vest.

The process by which the Company recognizes revenues is similar across each of the Company's reportable segments and is described in further detail below. Fiber cement and fiber gypsum revenues are primarily generated from the sale of siding and various boards used in internal and external applications, as well as accessories. Fiber gypsum revenues also includes the sale of cement-bonded boards in the Europe Building Products segment. Other revenues in the Other Businesses segment are generated from the sale of fiberglass products and windows in North America.
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Company recognizes revenues when the requisite performance obligation has been met, that is, when the Company transfers control of its products to customers, which depending on the terms of the underlying contract, is generally upon delivery. The Company considers shipping and handling activities that it performs as activities to fulfill the sales of its products, with amounts billed for such costs included in net sales and the associated costs incurred for such services recorded in cost of sales, in accordance with the practical expedient provided by ASC 606 ("Revenue from Contracts with Customers").
Certain of the Company's customers receive discounts and rebates as sales incentives, amounts which are recorded as a reduction to revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. These amounts are an estimate recorded by the Company based on historical experience and contractual obligations, the underlying assumptions of which are periodically reviewed and adjusted by the Company as necessary.
The Company’s contracts are generally short-term in nature, generally not exceeding twelve months, with payment terms varying by the type and location of products or services offered; however, the period of time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.
5. Leases
The Company adopted ASC 842 starting with fiscal year beginning 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, and has elected the practical expedient available under the guidance to not adjust comparative periods presented.
The adoption of this standard on 1 April 2019 resulted in the recognition of US$82.0 million of lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments using the discount rates as of the effective date. Corresponding ROU assets of US$79.7 million and a cumulative-effect adjustment of US$0.2 million to retained earnings were recognized, with the offsetting balance representing a reduction in the previously recognized deferred rent balance.
The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases across all asset classes that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of real estate, forklifts at its manufacturing facilities and a fleet of vehicles primarily for sales representatives. The lease term for all of its leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments.
In addition, the Company has also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which, among other things, allows for carry-forwards of historical lease classifications, the determination of whether a contract contains a lease under the new definition of a lease and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs qualify for capitalization.

8. Long-Term Debt
At 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, the Company held two forms of debt: an unsecured revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes due 2025, 2026 and 2028. The effective weighted average interest rate on the Company’s total debt was 4.4% at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019. The weighted average term of the unsecured revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes, including undrawn facilities, was 5.8 years and 6.3 years at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, respectively.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company maintains a US$500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with certain commercial banks and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent, which is set to mature in December 2022. The size of the Credit Facility may be increased by up to US$250.0 million through the exercise of an accordion option.
Debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Facility are recorded as an offset to Long-Term Debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the stated term of 5 years. At 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, the Company’s total debt issuance costs have an unamortized balance of US$2.2 million and US$2.6 million, respectively.
The amount drawn under the Credit Facility was US$210.0 million and US$150.0 million at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, respectively. The effective weighted average interest rate on the Company’s total outstanding Credit Facility was 3.9% and 4.3% at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, respectively.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at: (i) a rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin; or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin. For both LIBOR and base rate loans, the applicable margin is calculated based on a pricing grid linked to the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% The Company also pays a commitment fee of between 0.20% and 0.35% on the actual daily amount of the unutilized revolving loans. The applicable commitment fee percentage is based on a pricing grid linked to the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. In the event that the Company achieves certain credit ratings, an alternative commitment fee and margin rate may apply.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of JHI plc. The Credit Facility agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens other than certain types of permitted indebtedness and permitted liens, make certain restricted payments, and undertake certain types of mergers or consolidations actions. In addition, the Company: (i) must not exceed a maximum ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (as calculated under the Credit Facility) and (ii) must meet or exceed a minimum ratio of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to interest charges (as calculated under the Credit Facility). At 30 September 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility agreement.
2026 Senior Notes
In October 2018, James Hardie International Finance Designated Activity Company (“JHIF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHI plc, completed the sale of €400.0 million (US$437.5 million, based on the exchange rate at 30 September 2019) aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 1 October 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

Asbestos Adjustments
Asbestos-related assets and liabilities are denominated in Australian dollars. The reported values of these asbestos-related assets and liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets in US dollars are subject to adjustment depending on the closing exchange rate between the two currencies at the balance sheet dates, the effect of which is included in Asbestos adjustments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

AICF Funding
The AICF payment of US$108.9 million which represents 35% of the Company's free cash flow, as defined by the AFFA, for fiscal year 2019 and the corrections to operating cash flows discussed in Note 1 was paid by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. For the three and six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company did not provide financial or other support to AICF that it was not previously contractually required to provide.
Free cash flow as defined in the AFFA, for the six months ended 30 September 2019 is US$191.6 million, which is equivalent to operating cash flows of US$251.8 million, plus adjustments of US$60.2 million.
Restricted Short-Term Investments
In July 2018, AICF invested A$120.0 million of its excess cash in time deposits. During the year ended 31 March 2019, A$95.0 million of these time deposits matured and were classified to Restricted cash and cash equivalents - Asbestos on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended 30 September 2019, the remaining time deposits of A$25.0 million matured and were reclassified to Restricted cash and cash equivalents - Asbestos on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In July 2019, AICF invested A$110.0 million (US$74.3 million, based on the exchange rate at 30 September 2019) of its excess cash in time deposits. These time deposits are reflected within Restricted short-term investments - Asbestos on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 30 September 2019 and have been classified as available-for-sale. At 30 September 2019, AICF’s short-term investments were revalued resulting in a mark-to-market fair value adjustment of nil.
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
These time deposits bear a fixed interest rate and have a maturity as follows:
|

| | A$ Millions |
Maturity Date | Interest Rate | Total Amount |
31 December 2019 | 1.80% | 20.0 |

AICF – NSW Government Secured Loan Facility
AICF may borrow, subject to certain conditions, up to an aggregate amount of A$320.0 million (US$216.2 million, based on the exchange rate at 30 September 2019). The AICF Loan Facility is available to be drawn for the payment of claims through 1 November 2030, at which point, all outstanding borrowings must be repaid. Borrowings made under the AICF Loan Facility are classified as current, as AICF intends to repay the debt within one year.
At 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, AICF had an outstanding balance under the AICF Loan Facility of nil.
10. 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.
The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts to protect against upward movements in US Dollar LIBOR and the associated interest the Company pays on its external credit facilities. Interest rate swaps are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in Other income (expense).
Interest Rate Swaps
The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the fixed rate, notional principal, settlement date and present value of the future cash inflows and outflows based on the terms of the agreement and the future floating interest rates as determined by a future interest rate yield curve. The model used to value the interest rate swap contracts is based upon well recognized financial principles, and interest rate yield curves can be validated through readily observable data by external sources. Although readily observable data is used in the valuations, different valuation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
For interest rate swap contracts, the Company has agreed to pay fixed interest rates while receiving a floating interest rate. These contracts have a fair value of nil and US$0.3 million at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, respectively, which is included in Accounts and other receivables.
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
At 30 September 2019, the weighted average fixed interest rate of these contracts is 2.3% and the weighted average remaining life is 0.3 years.
For the three months ended 30 September 2019, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized loss of nil and a realized gain of US$0.1 million on interest rate swap contracts. For the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized loss of US$0.3 million and a realized gain of US$0.2 million on interest rate swap contracts.
For the three months ended 30 September 2018, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized gain of nil and a realized gain of US$0.1 million on interest rate swap contracts. For the six months ended 30 September 2018, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized gain of US$0.3 million and a realized gain of nil on interest rate swap contracts.
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.
Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings within Other income (expense) at each measurement date. As discussed above, these derivatives are typically entered into as economic hedges of changes in currency exchange rates.
At 30 September 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any forward currency contracts.
The following table sets forth the total outstanding notional amount and the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments held at 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019:

11. Commitments and Contingencies
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 as described in these consolidated financial statements.
Environmental and Legal
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a number of laws and regulations on air and water quality, waste handling and disposal. The Company’s
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
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.
12. 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 2019, the Company paid tax, net of any refunds received, of US$20.8 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, the impact of tax law changes on the remeasurement of US-based deferred tax assets and foreign exchange on asbestos.
Deferred income taxes include net operating loss carry-forwards. At 30 September 2019, the Company had tax loss carry-forwards in Australia, Europe and the US of approximately US$78.0 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.
At 30 September 2019, the Company had a valuation allowance against a portion of the European tax loss carry-forwards in respect of which realization is not more likely than not. At 30 September 2019, the Company had European tax loss carry-forwards of approximately US$6.2 million which will never expire and approximately US$2.9 million which will expire in fiscal years 2022 through 2028.
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 2019, the Company recognized a tax deduction of US$43.8 million (A$63.2 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of US$468.0 million (A$632.0 million) incurred in tax years 2016 through 2020.
At 30 September 2019, the Company had foreign tax credit carry-forwards of US$111.6 million and research credits of US$1.2 million that are available to offset future taxes payable. At 30 September 2019, the Company had a 100% valuation allowance against the foreign tax credit carry-forwards.
Due to the size and nature of its business, the Company is subject to ongoing reviews by taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters. The Company accrues for tax contingencies based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid, which it updates over time as more information becomes available. Such amounts are included in taxes payable or other non-current liabilities, as appropriate. If the Company ultimately determines that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the Company reverses the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which the Company determines that the liability is no longer necessary. The Company records additional tax expense in the period in which it determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment it expects.
Taxing authorities from various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are in the process of reviewing and auditing the Company’s respective jurisdictional tax returns for various ranges of years. The Company accrues tax liabilities in connection with ongoing audits and reviews based on knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, taking into account existing tax laws, its experience with previous audits and settlements, the status of current tax examinations and how the tax authorities view certain issues.
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
At 30 September 2019 and 31 March 2019, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the total amount of interest and penalties accrued by the Company related to unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the tax expense is US$0.6 million and US$0.1 million, respectively.
The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income tax expense. During the six months ended 30 September 2019, the total amount of interest and penalties recognized in Income tax expense was nil. The liabilities associated with uncertain tax benefits are included in Other liabilities on the Company's balance sheets.
13. Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense consists of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
