in 
the 
prior 
corresponding 
fiscal 
year. 
The

The US operating environment continues to reflect an increasing number of housing
starts    
The company is continuing with its plan to expand production capacity through new
capital   investments and re-commissioning of idled facilities in future
periods   
Full year FY14 EBIT margin is expected to be above 20%, absent major adverse
external factors  Asia Pacific Fibre Cement 
 
In Australia, approvals for detached homes continues to increase, however the
repair and remodel   market 
continues 
to 
decline. 
Thus, 
business 
is 
expected 
to 
track 
in 
line 
with 
any 
growth 
in 
the  
detached housing market, and be impacted by positive/negative movements in the
repair and   remodel market 
 
In New Zealand, the housing market continues to improve, particularly in the
Auckland and   Christchurch areas

Management 
notes 
the 
range 
of 
analysts 
forecasts 
for 
net 
operating 
profit 
excluding  
asbestos for the year ending 31 March 2014 is between US$189 million and US$202
  million 
 
Management expects full year earnings excluding asbestos, asset impairments, ASIC
  expenses, New Zealand product liability and tax adjustments to be between
US$190   million and US$200 million 
 
Guidance is dependent on, among other things, housing industry conditions in the US
  continuing to improve and an average exchange rate of approximately
US$0.89/A$1.00   applies 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

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.  USA AND EUROPE FIBRE CEMENT
