•
Increased contribution by the Asia Pacific Fibre Cement segment with adjusted

GROUP SUMMARY

FY14 GUIDANCE
•
Management notes the range of analysts’
forecasts for net operating profit
excluding asbestos for the year ending 31 March 2014 is between US$165
million and US$194 million
•
Management expects full year earnings excluding asbestos, asset
impairments, ASIC expenses, New Zealand product liability expenses and
tax adjustments to be within that range
•
Guidance is dependent on, among other things, housing industry conditions
in the US continuing to improve and an average exchange rate at or near
current levels applying for the balance of the year ending 31 March 2014
•
Although US housing activity has been improving for some time, market
conditions remain somewhat uncertain and some input costs remain
volatile
•
Management is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial
measure due to uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on
asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods

GROUP OUTLOOK
USA and Europe Fibre Cement
•
The US operating environment continues to reflect an increasing number of housing starts and
improving house values
•
Pick-up in repair and remodelling activity becoming apparent
•
The company is continuing with its plan to invest in capacity expansions through re-commissioning of
idled facilities in future periods
•
The company expects EBIT to revenue margin to be above 20% for FY14, absent major adverse
external factors
Asia Pacific Fibre Cement
•
In Australia, dwelling approvals continue to track on a gradual upward trend, however the company is
not anticipating any substantial increase in net sales revenue in FY14
•
In New Zealand, the housing market continues to improve
•
In the Philippines, the business is experiencing growth in its core market segments and is expected to
deliver consistent earnings over the next 12 months
