DISCLAIMER

This
Investor
Presentation
contains
forward-looking
statements.
James
Hardie
may
from
time
to
time
make
forward-looking
statements
in
its
periodic
reports
filed
with
or
furnished
to
the
SEC,
on
Forms
20-F
and
6-K,
in
its
annual
reports
to
shareholders,
in
offering
circulars,
invitation
memoranda
and
prospectuses,
in
media
releases
and
other
written
materials
and
in
oral
statements
made
by
the
companys
officers,
directors
or
employees
to
analysts,
institutional
investors,
existing
and
potential
lenders,
representatives
of
the
media
and
others.
Statements
that
are
not
historical
facts
are
forward-looking
statements
and
such
forward-looking
statements
are
statements
made
pursuant
to
the
Safe
Harbor
Provisions
of
the
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995.

EBIT
and EBIT margin excluding asbestos, ASIC expenses and New Zealand product liability expenses
EBIT and
EBIT margin excluding asbestos, ASIC expenses and New Zealand product liability
expenses are not measures of financial performance under US GAAP and should
not be considered to be more meaningful than EBIT and EBIT margin.
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

Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA
in the same manner as James Hardie has and, accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable with other companies. Management has included
information concerning Adjusted 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
