Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

James Hardie Industries plc manufactures and sells fiber cement building products for interior and exterior building construction applications, primarily in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of James Hardie Industries plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a special purpose entity. Except as otherwise indicated, James Hardie Industries plc is referred to as “JHI plc.” JHI plc, together with its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as “James Hardie” or the “Company.” These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2014, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 26 June 2014.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company at 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 and Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended 31 December 2014 and 2013.

The Company has recorded on its balance sheet certain assets and liabilities, including asbestos-related assets and liabilities under the terms of the Amended and Restated Final Funding Agreement (“AFFA”), that are denominated in Australian dollars and subject to translation into US dollars at each reporting date. Unless otherwise noted, the exchange rates used to convert Australian dollar denominated amounts into US dollars in the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at 31 March 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements in this interim financial report.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, which provides guidance requiring companies to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is still evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, which provides explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition that affects vesting, or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2015. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-12 prospectively, starting with the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2015. The Company does not expect this new standard to materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

3. Earnings Per Share

The Company discloses basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated using net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares calculated using the Treasury Method that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), had been issued.

Accordingly, basic and dilutive common shares outstanding used in determining net income per share are as follows:

F-7

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Potential common shares of 2.6 million and 2.2 million for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, respectively, and 2.5 million and 2.3 million for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2013, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Unless they are anti-dilutive, RSUs which vest solely based on continued employment are considered to be outstanding as of their issuance date for purposes of computing diluted EPS and are included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the Treasury Method. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.

RSUs which vest based on performance or market conditions are considered contingent shares. At each reporting date prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company determines the number of contingently issuable shares to include in the diluted EPS, as the number of shares that would be issuable under the terms of the RSUs arrangement, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.

4. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Included in restricted cash and cash equivalents is US$2.5 million and US$5.0 million related to an insurance policy at 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, respectively, which restricts the cash from use for general corporate purposes.

5. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following components:

As of 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, US$29.9 million and US$26.0 million, respectively, of the Company’s finished goods inventory was held at third-party locations.

6. Long-Term Debt

At 31 December 2014, the Company’s credit facilities consisted of:

The amount drawn under the combined facilities was US$390.0 million and nil at 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, respectively. During the three months ended 31 December 2014, the Company repaid and terminated a US$40.0 million term facility maturing in April 2016 and replaced it with a new US$125.0 million term facility maturing in November 2017, of which the Company drew down US$125.0 million during the quarter.

At 31 December 2014, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s total outstanding debt was 1.5%, and the weighted average term of all debt facilities is 2.7 years. The weighted average fixed interest rate on the Company’s interest rate swap contracts is set forth in Note 8.

For all facilities, the interest rate is calculated two business days prior to the commencement of each draw-down period based on the US Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the margins of individual lenders and is payable at the end of each draw-down period.

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

At 31 December 2014, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants contained in its credit facility agreements. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company (i) must not exceed a maximum of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of Asbestos injuries Compensation Fund (“AICF”), Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited (collectively, the “Former James Hardie Companies”) and excluding assets, liabilities and other balance sheet items of the AICF and the Former James Hardie Companies, (ii) must meet or exceed a minimum ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to net interest charges, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of AICF and the Former James Hardie Companies, and (iii) must ensure that no more than 35% of Free Cash Flow (as defined in the AFFA), in any given financial year (“Annual Cash Flow Cap”) is contributed to AICF on the payment dates under the AFFA in the next following financial year. The Annual Cash Flow Cap does not apply to payments of interest, if any, to AICF and is consistent with contractual obligations of James Hardie 117 Pty Ltd (the “Performing Subsidiary”) and the Company under the AFFA.

7. Asbestos

In February 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal pursuant to which the Company provides long-term funding to AICF. The Company owns 100% of the Performing Subsidiary that funds the AICF subject to the provisions of the AFFA. The Company appoints three of the AICF directors and the New South Wales Government appoints two of the AICF directors.

Under the terms of the AFFA, the Performing Subsidiary has an obligation to make payments to AICF on an annual basis. The amount of these annual payments is dependent on several factors, including the Company’s Free Cash Flow (as defined in the AFFA), actuarial estimations, actual claims paid, operating expenses of AICF and the Annual Cash Flow Cap. JHI plc guarantees the Performing Subsidiary’s obligation. As a result, the Company considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of AICF as defined under US GAAP.

The Company’s interest in AICF is considered variable because the potential impact on the Company will vary based upon the annual actuarial assessments obtained by AICF with respect to asbestos-related personal injury claims against the Former James Hardie Companies.

Although the Company has no legal ownership in AICF, for financial reporting purposes, the Company consolidates AICF due to its pecuniary and contractual interests in AICF, as a result of the funding arrangements outlined in the AFFA. The Company’s consolidation of AICF results in a separate recognition of the asbestos liability and certain other asbestos-related assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Among other items, the Company records a deferred tax asset for the anticipated future tax benefit the Company believes is available to it that arise from amounts contributed to AICF by the Performing Subsidiary. Since fiscal year 2007, movements in the asbestos liability arising from changes in foreign currency or actuarial adjustments are classified as asbestos adjustments and the income tax benefit arising from contributions to AICF is included within income tax expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income when realized.

For the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, the Company did not provide financial or other support to AICF that it was not previously contractually required to provide. On 1 July 2014, the Company made a payment of A$119.9 million (US$113.0 million) to AICF, representing 35% of the Company’s Free Cash Flow for fiscal year 2014 as defined by the AFFA. Future funding of AICF by the Company under the terms of the AFFA depends on the Company’s long-term financial success, specifically the Company’s ability to generate net operating cash flow.

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

AICF has operating costs that are claims related and non-claims related. Claims related costs incurred by AICF are treated as reductions in the accrued asbestos liability balances previously reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-claims related operating costs incurred by AICF are expensed as incurred in the line item Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. AICF earns interest on its cash and cash equivalents and on its short-term investments; these amounts are included in the line item Interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Asbestos Adjustments

The following table sets forth the asbestos adjustments included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014 and 2013:

Adjustments in insurance receivables due to changes in AICF’s assessment of recoverability are reflected as asbestos adjustments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income during the period in which the adjustments occur.

Asbestos-Related Assets and Liabilities

The Company has included on its consolidated balance sheets certain asbestos-related assets and liabilities under the terms of the AFFA. These amounts are detailed in the table below, and the net total of these asbestos-related assets and liabilities is referred to by the Company as the “Net AFFA Liability.”

F-12

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Asbestos Liability

The amount of the asbestos liability reflects the terms of the AFFA, which has been recognized by reference to (but is not exclusively based upon) the most recent actuarial estimate of projected future cash flows calculated by KPMG Actuarial (“KPMGA”). Based on their assumptions, KPMGA arrived at a range of possible total future cash flows and calculated a central estimate, which is intended to reflect a probability-weighted expected outcome of those actuarially estimated future cash flows. The Company views the central estimate as the basis for recognizing the asbestos liability in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company considered discounting when determining the best estimate under US GAAP. The Company has recognized the asbestos liability by reference to (but is not exclusively based upon) the central estimate as undiscounted on the basis that it is the Company’s view that the timing and amounts of such cash flows are not fixed or readily determinable. The Company considered inflation when determining the best estimate under US GAAP. It is the Company’s view that there are material uncertainties in estimating an appropriate rate of inflation over the extended period of the AFFA. The Company views the undiscounted and uninflated central estimate as the best estimate under US GAAP.

Adjustments in the asbestos liability due to changes in the actuarial estimate of projected future cash flows and changes in the estimate of future operating costs of AICF are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the period in which they occur. Claims paid by AICF and claims-handling costs incurred by AICF are treated as reductions in the accrued balances previously reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company receives an updated actuarial estimate as of 31 March each year. The most recent actuarial assessment was performed as of 31 March 2014.

The changes in the asbestos liability for the nine months ended 31 December 2014 are detailed in the table below:

¹ The average exchange rate for the period is used to convert the Australian dollar amount to US dollars based on the assumption that these transactions occurred evenly throughout the period.

Insurance Receivable – Asbestos

The changes in the insurance receivable for the nine months ended 31 December 2014 are detailed in the table below:

¹ The average exchange rate for the period is used to convert the Australian dollar amount to US dollars based on the assumption that these transactions occurred evenly throughout the period.

Deferred Income Taxes – Asbestos

Deferred income taxes – asbestos is the anticipated tax benefit over the life of the AFFA resulting from the Performing Subsidiary being able to claim a tax deduction for its contributions to AICF over a five-year period commencing in the year the contribution is incurred. The changes in the deferred income taxes - asbestos for the nine months ended 31 December 2014 are detailed in the table below:

¹ The average exchange rate for the period is used to convert the Australian dollar amount to US dollars based on the assumption that these transactions occurred evenly throughout the period.

Income Taxes Payable

A portion of the deferred income tax asset is applied against the Company’s income tax payable. At 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, this amount was US$17.1 million and US$16.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended 31 December 2014, there was a US$1.3 million favorable effect of foreign currency exchange.

F-14

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Other Net Liabilities

Included in other net liabilities are the other assets and liabilities of AICF including asbestos-related education and medical research contributions, trade receivables, prepayments, fixed assets, trade payables and accruals. These other assets and liabilities of AICF were a net liability of US$2.1 million and US$0.8 million at 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, respectively. During the nine months ended 31 December 2014, there was a US$0.2 million favorable effect of foreign currency exchange on these other assets and liabilities.

Restricted Cash and Short-term Investments of AICF

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of AICF are reflected as restricted assets as these assets are restricted for use in the settlement of asbestos claims and payment of the operating costs of AICF.

The changes in restricted cash and short-term investments of AICF for the nine months ended 31 December 2014 are set forth in the table below:

¹ The average exchange rate for the period is used to convert the Australian dollar amount to US dollars based on the assumption that these transactions occurred evenly throughout the period.

² The spot exchange rate on the date of the transaction is used to convert the Australian dollar amount to US dollars.

Claims Data

AICF provides compensation payments for Australian asbestos-related personal injury claims against the Former James Hardie Companies. The claims data in this section are reflective of these Australian asbestos-related personal injury claims against the Former James Hardie Companies.

The following table shows the activity related to the numbers of open claims, new claims and closed claims during each of the past five years and the average settlement per settled claim and case closed:

¹ Included in the number of closed claims of 672 for the year ended 31 March 2013 are 153 claims primarily settled at nil settlement amounts that had been closed in prior years but not reflected as such in the year in which they were closed. Accordingly these 153 claims have been included in claims activity during the year ended 31 March 2013 to appropriately reflect the actual number of open claims at 31 March 2013. These 153 additional claims that were closed in prior years have been excluded for the purposes of determining the average settlement amount in both US and Australian dollars, as reflected in the table above, for the year ended 31 March 2013. As these 153 claims were closed in prior years, the actual number of closed claims during the year ended 31 March 2013 was 519 claims.

Under the terms of the AFFA, the Company has rights of access to actuarial information produced for AICF by the actuary appointed by AICF (the “Approved Actuary”). The Company’s disclosures with respect to claims statistics are subject to it obtaining such information from the Approved Actuary. The AFFA does not provide the Company an express right to audit or otherwise require independent verification of such information or the methodologies to be adopted by the Approved Actuary. As such, the Company relies on the accuracy and completeness of the information and analysis of the Approved Actuary when making disclosures with respect to claims statistics.

AICF – NSW Government Secured Loan Facility

On 9 December 2010, AICF, Amaca, Amaba and ABN 60 (together, the “Obligors”) entered into a long term credit facility (“Facility”) with The State of New South Wales, Australia whereby AICF may borrow, subject to certain conditions, up to an aggregate amount of A$320.0 million (US$262.2 million, based on the exchange rate at 31 December 2014). The amount available to be drawn depends on the value of the insurance policies benefiting the Obligors and may be adjusted upward or downward, subject to a ceiling of A$320.0 million. The discounted value of insurance policies is calculated annually, and was A$214.3 million at 31 March 2014.

F-16

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

AICF may draw funds under the Facility to fund the payment of asbestos claims and certain operating and legal costs of the Obligors. The Facility is available to be drawn up to 9 December 2020 (being the tenth anniversary of signing) and must be repaid on or by 1 November 2030. Interest accrues daily on amounts outstanding and is calculated based on a 365-day year and is payable monthly. The borrowings under the Facility are classified as current as AICF intends to repay the debt within one year. Interest paid amounts are included in the line item Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. On 2 July 2014, AICF repaid principal and interest amounts outstanding under the Facility in the amount of US$48.8 million.

AICF proposed Approved Payment Scheme

On 15 September 2014, the Company and the NSW Government were advised by AICF that its Board had determined that it is reasonably foreseeable that a shortfall in the funding of claims will arise in calendar 2017 and that consequently, AICF would like to enter into discussions with the Company and the NSW Government concerning an approved payment scheme (“APS”). The determination was contained in a notice issued by AICF to the Company and the NSW Government under the AFFA. AICF announced that it would seek NSW Supreme Court approval to establish an APS for the payment of claims from 1 July 2015.

This announcement of a potential APS has no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2014.

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivatives for risk management purposes and does not engage in speculative activity. A key risk management objective for the Company is to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company’s external credit facilities and foreign currency risk primarily with respect to forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The determination of whether the Company enters into a derivative transaction to achieve these risk management objectives depends on a number of factors, including market related factors that impact the extent to which derivative instruments will achieve such risk management objectives of the Company.

The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts to protect against upward movements in US Dollar LIBOR and the associated interest the Company pays on its external credit facilities. Interest rate swaps are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in Other income.

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and enters into hedging relationships from time to time in order to mitigate exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. When achievable, these instruments are designated as hedges and treated as a cash flow hedging arrangement for accounting purposes. In the prior fiscal year, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges in order to mitigate exposure associated with the anticipated purchases of production assets denominated in a foreign currency in a future period. In the prior quarter ending 30 September 2014, the Company elected to de-designate all of its foreign currency forward contracts that had been previously designated as cash flow hedges, and elected to discontinue hedge accounting. The gains will be reclassified into earnings in correspondence to the depreciation schedule of the underlying equipment purchases which were hedged.

F-17

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Interest Rate Swaps

For interest rate swap contracts, the Company has agreed to pay fixed interest rates while receiving a floating interest rate. At 31 December 2014, the weighted average fixed interest rate of these contracts is 2.0% and the weighted average remaining life is 3.8 years. For the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, the Company included in Other  (expense) income an unrealized loss of US$1.0 million and US$1.8 million, respectively, on interest rate swap contracts. Included in Interest expense is a realized loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.4 million and US$0.7 million for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended 31 December 2013, the Company included in Other income an unrealized gain of US$1.0 million and US$1.2 million, respectively, on interest rate swap contracts. Included in Interest expense is a realized loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.2 million and US$0.5 million for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2013, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings within Other  Income at each measurement date. As discussed above, these derivatives are typically entered into as economic hedges of changes in currency exchange rates. Gains or losses related to the derivative are recorded in income, based on the Company’s accounting policy. In general, the earnings effects of the item that represent the economic risk exposure are recorded in the same caption as the derivative. The forward contracts not designated as a cash flow hedging arrangement had an unrealized loss of US$0.1 million and an unrealized gain of US $0.8 million in the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, respectively.

The foreign currency forward contracts which were previously designated as hedges and de-designated in the prior quarter had an unrealized gain classified in other comprehensive income of US$0.3 million at 31 December 2014. The gains will be reclassified into earnings in correspondence to the depreciation schedule of the underlying equipment purchases which were hedged.

The notional amount of interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts represents the basis upon which payments are calculated and are reported on a net basis when a legal and enforceable right of set-off exists. The following table sets forth the total outstanding notional amount and the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments held at 31 December 2014.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities of the Company that are carried at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories:

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

At 31 December 2014, the Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, dividends payable, debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts.

Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Trade payables and Dividend  payables – These items are recorded in the financial statements at historical cost. The historical cost basis for these amounts is estimated to approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Interest Rate Swaps - The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the fixed rate, notional principal, settlement date and present value of the future cash inflows and outflows based on the terms of the agreement and the future floating interest rates as determined by a future interest rate yield curve. The model used to value the interest rate swap contracts is based upon well recognized financial principles, and interest rate yield curves can be validated through readily observable data by external sources. Although readily observable data is used in the valuations, different valuation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are categorized as Level 2.

F-19

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued using models that maximize the use of market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 December 2014 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and administrative actions related to the normal conduct of its business, including general liability claims, putative class action lawsuits and litigation concerning its products.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal proceeding, management believes that such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos and New Zealand weathertightness claims as described in these financial statements.

F-20

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

New Zealand Weathertightness Claims

Since fiscal year 2002, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have been and continue to be joined in a number of weathertightness claims in New Zealand that relate to residential buildings (single dwellings and apartment complexes) and a small number of non-residential buildings, primarily constructed from 1998 to 2004. The claims often involve multiple parties and allege that losses were incurred due to excessive moisture penetration of the buildings’ structures. The claims typically include allegations of poor building design, inadequate certification of plans, inadequate construction review and compliance certification and deficient work by sub-contractors.

The Company recognizes a liability for both asserted and unasserted New Zealand weathertightness claims in the period in which the loss becomes probable and estimable. The amount of reasonably possible loss is dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, the specific facts and circumstances unique to each claim brought against the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries, the existence of any co-defendants involved in defending the claim, the solvency of such co-defendants (including the ability of such co-defendants to remain solvent until the related claim is ultimately resolved), the availability of claimant compensation under a government compensation scheme, the amount of loss estimated to be allocable to the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries and the extent to which the co-defendants and the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have access to third-party recoveries to cover a portion of the costs incurred in defending and resolving such actions. In addition to the above limitations, the total loss incurred is also dependent on the manner and extent to which the statute of limitations will apply in future periods.

Historically, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have been joined to these claims as one of several co-defendants, including local government entities responsible for enforcing building codes and practices, resulting in the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries becoming liable for only a portion of each claim. In addition, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have had access to third-party recoveries to defray a portion of the costs incurred in resolving such claims.

The Company has established a provision for asserted and unasserted New Zealand weathertightness claims within the current portion of Other liabilities, with a corresponding estimated receivable for third-party recoveries being recognized within Accounts and other receivables. At 31 December 2014 and 31 March 2014, the amount of the provision for New Zealand weathertightness claims, net of estimated third-party recoveries, was US$2.4 million and US$12.7 million, respectively.

The estimated loss for these matters, net of estimated third-party recoveries, incorporates assumptions that are subject to the foregoing uncertainties and are principally derived from, but not exclusively based on, historical claims experience together with facts and circumstances unique to each claim. If the nature and extent of the resolution of claims in future periods differ from the historical claims experience, then the actual amount of loss may be materially higher or lower than estimated losses accrued at 31 December 2014. Accordingly, due to the inherent uncertainties associated with estimating the amount of loss incurred for these matters, as discussed above, and based on information presently available, the Company believes it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters collectively could result in an additional loss of up to approximately US$0.5 million in excess of the amount already accrued, net of estimated third-party recoveries, at 31 December 2014.

Environmental and Legal

The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a number of laws and regulations on air and water quality, waste handling and disposal. The Company’s policy is to accrue for environmental costs when it is determined that it is probable that an obligation exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

11. Income Taxes

Income taxes payable represents taxes currently payable which are computed at statutory income tax rates applicable to taxable income derived in each jurisdiction in which the Company conducts business. During the nine months ended 31 December 2014, the Company paid total income tax net of any refunds received of US$24.2 million in Ireland, the United States, Canada, New Zealand and the Philippines.

Deferred income taxes include European and Australian net operating loss carry-forwards. At 31 December 2014 the Company had European tax loss carry-forwards of approximately US$6.1 million and Australian tax loss carry-forwards of approximately US$9.9 million, that are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdiction.

The European tax loss carry-forwards relate to losses incurred in prior years during the establishment of the European business. At 31 December 2014, the Company had a 100% valuation allowance against the European tax loss carry-forwards.

The Australian tax loss carry-forwards primarily result from current and prior year tax deductions for contributions to AICF. The Performing Subsidiary is able to claim a tax deduction for its contributions to AICF over a five-year period commencing in the year the contribution is incurred. At 31 December 2014, the Company recognized a tax deduction of US$56.9 million (A$62.9 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of US$412.3 million (A$419.1 million) incurred in tax years 2011 through 2015.

Due to the size and nature of its business, the Company is subject to ongoing reviews by taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters. The Company accrues for tax contingencies based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid, which it updates over time as more information becomes available. Such amounts are included in taxes payable or other non-current liabilities, as appropriate. If the Company ultimately determines that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the Company reverses the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which the Company determines that the liability is no longer necessary. The Company records additional tax expense in the period in which it determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment it expects.

The Company or its subsidiaries files income tax returns in various jurisdictions including Ireland, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and The Netherlands. The Company is no longer subject to US federal examinations by US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years prior to tax year 2012 and Australian federal examinations by the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) for tax years prior to tax year 2011. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by The Netherlands tax authority, for tax years prior to tax year 2010.

Taxing authorities from various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are in the process of reviewing and auditing the Company’s respective jurisdictional tax returns for various ranges of years. The Company accrues tax liabilities in connection with ongoing audits and reviews based on knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, taking into account existing tax laws, its experience with previous audits and settlements, the status of current tax examinations and how the tax authorities view certain issues.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties are as follows:

As of 31 December 2014, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the total amount of interest and penalties accrued or prepaid by the Company related to unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is US$0.8 million and US$0.2 million, respectively. The remaining US$3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits would not affect the effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the nine months ended 31 December 2014, the total amount of interest and penalties recognized in tax expense was US$0.2 million. The liabilities associated with uncertain tax benefits are included in Other Non-Current Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These liabilities are offset by deferred tax assets included in Current Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. Management believes it is more likely than not that the full deferred tax asset will be realized.

Restricted Stock – service vesting

On 9 December 2014, 329,192 restricted stock units (service vesting) were granted to employees under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of each restricted stock unit (service vesting) is equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, adjusted for the fair value of estimated dividends as the restricted stock holder is not entitled to dividends over the vesting period.

On 9 December 2014, 220,984 restricted stock units (service vesting) that were previously granted as part of the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan became fully vested and the underlying common stock was issued.

Restricted Stock – performance vesting

The Company granted 403,716 and 461,019 restricted stock units with a performance vesting condition under the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) to senior executives and managers of the Company on 16 September 2014 and 16 September 2013, respectively. The vesting of the restricted stock units is deferred for three years and is subject to a Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) performance hurdle being met. The vesting of the restricted stock units is also subject to limited discretion by the Board. The Board’s discretion will reflect the Board’s judgment of the quality of the returns balanced against management’s delivery of market share growth and a scorecard of key qualitative and quantitative performance objectives.

The fair value of each restricted stock unit (performance vesting) is adjusted for changes in JHI plc’s common stock price at each balance sheet date until the performance conditions are applied at the vesting date.

The vesting of these restricted stock units is subject to a market condition as outlined in the LTIP.

The fair value of each of these restricted stock units (market condition) granted under the LTIP is estimated using a binomial lattice model that incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table includes the assumptions used for restricted stock grants (market condition):

During the three and nine months ended 31 December 2014, nil and 275,422 restricted stock units (market condition) that were previously granted became fully vested and the underlying common stock was issued, respectively.

Under the terms of the LTIP, the Company granted awards equivalent to 454,179 and 518,647 Scorecard LTI units on 16 September 2014 and 16 September 2013, respectively. These awards provide recipients a cash incentive based on JHI plc’s common stock price on the vesting date and each executive’s scorecard rating. The vesting of awards is measured on individual performance conditions based on certain performance measures. Compensation expense recognized for awards are based on the fair market value of JHI plc’s common stock on the date of grant and recorded as a liability. The expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period and the liability is adjusted for subsequent changes in JHI plc’s common stock price at each balance sheet date

On 7 June 2014, 445,141 of the 716,536 Scorecard LTI units that were previously granted on 7 June 2011 as part of the FY2012 long-term incentive award became fully vested and the balance was paid. The cash amount paid to award recipients was based on JHI plc’s common stock price on the vesting date.
