James Hardie Industries plc Segments Disclosure
Segment and Geographic Information
____________
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has four reportable segments:
•Siding & Trim segment - Manufactures fiber cement and PVC exterior siding and trim products, as well as moulding, interior linings, and accessories in the United States. These products are sold in the United States and Canada.
•Deck, Rail & Accessories segment - Manufactures decking, railing, cladding, pergolas, cabanas and related accessories in the United States; these products are sold in the United States and Canada.
•Australia & New Zealand segment - Includes fiber cement products manufactured in Australia and sold in Australia and New Zealand.
•Europe segment - Includes fiber gypsum products and cement bonded boards manufactured in Europe, and fiber cement products manufactured in the United States that are sold in Europe.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment Operating Income to allocate resources and assess segment performance, primarily through the annual budgeting process and monthly performance reviews. During these reviews, the CODM monitors actual results versus the prior period, forecasted results and the annual plan. The CODM also considers this information in making strategic decisions related to capital allocations. The Company does not report total assets by segment as the Company’s CODM does not assess performance, or allocate resources based on segment assets.
The Company's General Corporate and unallocated R&D costs do not meet the applicable accounting guidance for separate disclosure as a reportable segment, and are reflected as reconciling items to consolidated Net Income. General Corporate costs primarily consist of Asbestos adjustments, officer and employee compensation and related benefits, professional and legal fees, administrative costs, acquisition related costs and rental expense on the Company’s corporate offices, which are not allocated to the reportable segments. Unallocated R&D costs represented the costs incurred by the research and development centers which were costs not directly associated with one of our reportable segments. Beginning July 1, 2025, R&D costs are allocated to the segments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, $24.2 million was allocated to Siding & Trim, $3.7 million to Australia & New Zealand and $0.6 million to Europe.
The Company does not report Interest, net for each segment as the segments are not held directly accountable for interest.
For additional information on the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 1, “Organization and Significant Accounting Policies – Reportable Segments”.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
