CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND DIVIDENDS
In February 2014 the company announced a 125 year anniversary special dividend of
US28.0 cents per security in
recognition of the company's 125 year anniversary
Declared in US currency and will be paid on 30 May 2014 with a record date of 21
March 2014 Effective from and including FY14, dividend payout ratio increased
from between 30% and 50% to between 50% and 70% of annual NPAT excluding
asbestos adjustments On
14
November
2013,
the
company
announced
an
ordinary
dividend
of
US8.0
cents
per
security,
up
from
US5.0
cents
per
security
in
the
prior
corresponding
fiscal
year.
The
dividend
was
declared
in
US
currency
and
will
be
paid on 28 March 2014
An ordinary dividend of US13.0 cents per security and a special dividend of US24.0
cents per security were paid on 26 July 2013 from FY13 earnings. Total
dividends paid was US$163.6 million In May 2013, the company announced a new
share buyback program to acquire up to 5% of its issued capital during the
following 12 months As at 28 February 2014, the Company repurchased a total
of 1,139,214 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate cost of A$13.6
million (US$12.2 million), at an average market price of A$11.94 (US$10.75)
Share Buybacks |
19
USA and Europe Fibre Cement
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
GROUP OUTLOOK |

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
