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 companys 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.     |

accordingly, 
Adjusted

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
