2 Q2 FY25 Earnings Presentation Cautionary Note and Use of Non-GAAP Measures This Earnings 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, beliefs and general good faith evaluation of information available at the time the forward-looking  statements were made concerning future events and conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any  forward-looking statements or rely upon them as a guarantee of future performance or results or as an accurate indication of the  times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. 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 Earnings 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 March 31, 2024, which include, but are  not necessarily limited to risks such as changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally  and in the countries in which the Company does business, including; 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 Earnings Presentation except as required by law. This Earnings 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 Earnings Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP  measure, see slides titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this Earnings Presentation. In addition, this Earnings  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 Condensed 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 Earnings Presentation to the equivalent  GAAP financial measure used in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See slides titled “Non-GAAP  Financial Measures” included in this Earnings Presentation. All comparisons made are vs. the comparable period in the prior fiscal year and amounts presented are in US dollars,  unless otherwise noted.
