injury and death claims; expectations concerning indemnification obligations; statements regarding the companys ability to manage legal and regulatory matters
(including but not limited to product liability, environmental, intellectual property and competition law matters) and to
resolve any such pending legal and regulatory matters within current estimates and in
anticipation of certain third-party recoveries; and
statements about economic conditions, such as economic or housing recovery, the levels of new
home construction and home renovations, unemployment levels, changes in consumer income, changes or
stability in housing values, the availability of mortgages and other financing, mortgage and

such as believe, anticipate, plan, expect, intend, target, estimate, project, predict, forecast, guideline,
aim, will, should, likely, continue and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and all such
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the following
cautionary statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on the companys current expectations, estimates
and assumptions and because forward-looking statements address future results, events and conditions, they, by their
very nature, involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and
beyond the companys control. Such known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results,
performance or other achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results,
performance or achievements expressed, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors, some of
which are discussed under Risks Factors in Section 3 of the Form 20-F filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 2 July 2012, include, but are not limited to: all matters relating to or arising out of the
prior manufacture of products that contained asbestos by current and former James Hardie
subsidiaries; required contributions to AICF, any shortfall in AICF and the effect of currency exchange rate movements
on the amount recorded in the companys financial statements as an asbestos liability;
governmental loan facility to AICF; compliance with and changes in tax laws and treatments; competition and product pricing
in the markets in which the company operates; the consequences of product failures or defects;
exposure to environmental, asbestos, putative consumer class action or other legal proceedings; general economic
and market conditions; the supply and cost of raw materials; possible increases in competition
and the potential that competitors could copy the companys products; reliance on a small number of customers; a
customers inability to pay; compliance with and changes in environmental and health and
safety laws; risks of conducting business internationally; compliance with and changes in laws and regulations; the effect
of the transfer of the companys corporate domicile from The Netherlands to Ireland
including employee relations, changes in corporate governance and potential tax benefits; currency exchange risks;
dependence on customer preference and the concentration of the companys customer base on
large format retail customers, distributors and dealers; dependence on residential and commercial construction
markets; the effect of adverse changes in climate or weather patterns; possible inability to
renew credit facilities on terms favourable to the company, or at all; acquisition or sale of businesses and business
segments; changes in the companys key management personnel; inherent limitations on
internal controls; use of accounting estimates; and all other risks identified in the companys reports filed with Australian,
Irish and US securities agencies and exchanges (as appropriate). The company cautions you that
the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and that other risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made and are statements of the companys current expectations concerning future results,
events and conditions. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements or information except as required by law.

EXAMPLES |
The company expects
to be in a position to make further distributions to shareholders in the near term as
follows: An ordinary dividend of US5.0 cents per security (approximately US$22.0 million)
was announced on 15 November 2012. The dividend is declared in US currency and will be
paid on 25 January 2013, with a record date of 18 December 2012
No share buyback activity during the half year
18
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Subject to share price levels, the company intends to distribute approximately US$150 million to
shareholders under its existing share buyback program, which expires in May 2013;
For dividends payable in respect of financial year 2014 onwards, the company intends to increase
its dividend payout ratio from 20% to 30% of net operating profit (excluding asbestos
adjustments) to 30% to 50% of net operating profit (excluding asbestos adjustments);
If and to the extent the company does not undertake share buybacks between today and the
announcement of FY2013 results in May 2013, the company will consider an increase of its
dividend payout ratio for FY2013. In this event, the dividend in respect of the second half of FY
2013 is anticipated to be approximately US35 cents per security, subject to certain conditions
as outlined in the results announcement

GROUP OUTLOOK
United States
Industry data indicates consistent improvement in builder confidence and increased
activity in US housing market
The early stages of a recovery in the residential market appears
to be underway
The extent and rate of improvement, however, is uncertain
The business is being positioned to accelerate growth in market share by funding of
initiatives to improve organisational capabilities, which may constrain
earnings in the initial phases of the housing market recovery
Asia Pacific
In Australia, the market environment remains subdued
The New Zealand housing market is improving
In the Philippines, the business continues to perform well in a stable operating
environment |
We
have a strong, well-established, growth-focused, strong cash-generating and high
return business
We have a sustainable competitive advantage
Our model for strong growth is based on:
Large market opportunity
Superior value proposition

EBITDA
is not a measure of financial performance under US GAAP and should not be
considered an alternative to, or more
meaningful
than,
income
from
operations,
net
income
or
cash
flows
as
defined
by
US
GAAP
or
as
a
measure
of
profitability or liquidity. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner
as James Hardie has and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable with
other companies. Management has included information concerning EBITDA because
it believes that this data is commonly used by investors to evaluate the ability of
a companys earnings from its core business
operations
to
satisfy
its
debt,
capital
expenditure
and
working
capital
requirements

General corporate costs excluding ASIC expenses, intercompany foreign exchange gain
and recovery of RCI legal costs
General corporate costs excluding ASIC expenses, intercompany foreign exchange
gain and recovery of RCI legal costs is not a measure of financial
performance under US GAAP and should not be considered to be more
meaningful
than

corporate
costs.
Management
has
included
these
financial
measures
to
provide
investors
with
an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is
focussed on the performance of its ongoing operations and provides useful
information regarding its financial condition and results of operations. Management uses
these non-US GAAP measures for the same purposes
