During the second quarter of FY14, the company refined its methodology for calculating average net sales price in both the USA and Europe and Asia Pacific
Fibre Cement segments to exclude ancillary products that have no impact on fibre cement sales volume, which is measured and reported in million square feet
(“mmsf”). As the revenue contribution of these ancillary products has been increasing, the company believes the refined methodology provides an improved
disclosure of average net sales price, in line with the company’s primary fibre cement business, which is a key segment performance indicator. The company has
restated average net sales price in the prior periods to conform with the current quarter and half year calculation of average net sales price.

Adjusted

is
not

of
financial
performance
under

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 company’s earnings from its core business operations to satisfy its debt, capital expenditure and working
capital requirements
