Media Release 8 August 2023

First Quarter Segment Results

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Results Compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Results

North America Fiber Cement Segment

Net Sales declined 6% to US$694.8 million, on strong average net sales price (ASP) growth of +3%, more than offset by a decline in volumes of 9%. Volume of 747.8 million standard feet was ahead of May guidance of 680 million to 710 million standard feet. Stronger than expected volumes were due to profitable share gain and better than expected market conditions. The strong top line result, combined with significantly lower freight resulted in EBIT increasing 13% to a record US$217.6 million. EBIT margin expanded 540 basis points to a record 31.3%.

Asia Pacific Fiber Cement Segment

Net sales increased 5% to a record A$209.7 million. ASP growth of +12%, was partially offset by an 8% decline in volumes, primarily in our New Zealand business. The record top line result, combined with lower SG&A investments and relatively flat cost of goods sold per unit, led to EBIT increasing 35% to a record A$69.5 million. EBIT margin expanded by 750 basis points to 33.1%, also a record.

Europe Building Products Segment

Net Sales decreased 1% to €109.7 million. ASP growth of +23% was offset by a 18% decline in volumes, driven by the slowdown in the housing markets we participate in. EBIT of €10.8 million was down 5%, at an EBIT margin of 9.8%, which was a significant improvement sequentially.

Capital Resources

Operating cash flow increased 64% to US$252.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, driven by strong results in all three regions and significant improvement in working capital. Working capital improved by US$51.8 million primarily due to lower inventory and higher accounts payable.

James Hardie Chief Financial Officer, Jason Miele, stated, “We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position, with our leverage ratio at 0.85x and US$580.7 million of liquidity. We improved our liquidity position by US$104.9 million since 31 March 2023, while also executing the next tranche of our share buyback program. We expect our continued robust operating cash flows will ensure we maintain this strong liquidity position. Our capital allocation framework remains unchanged and matches who we are, a growth company. The number one and primary focus of our capital allocation framework is to invest in organic growth."

Commenting on capital expenditures, Mr. Miele stated “Our capacity expansion program is guided by our expectation for sustainable long term profitable share gain. In Q1 FY24, total capital expenditures were US$125.6 million. Despite the changing market conditions, we remain committed to investing in capacity expansion, but we will continuously adjust, such that we remain flexible and agile to respond as demand increases coming out of this cycle.”

Since the commencement of our share buyback program in November 2022, we have bought back 5.8 million shares for total consideration of US$127.4 million.

Sustainability

Speaking on ESG, Mr. Erter said, “We plan to release our fiscal year 2023 Sustainability Report on 10 August. Sustainability is a never-ending journey for us. We continue to identify and develop solutions that do right by our planet, our people and the communities where we operate. We have increased our ESG commitments, with even larger ambitions across the company while putting roadmaps in place to get us there and hold ourselves accountable. While this is just the beginning, we are all ready to do our part in building a better future for all.”

Media Release 8 August 2023

Outlook and Earnings Guidance

The outlook for the housing markets we participate in globally continues to remain uncertain. In our largest market, North America, the external data providers we utilize expect our addressable market to decrease between 5% and 18% in calendar year 2023 versus calendar year 2022.

Guidance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024; we expect:

•Adjusted Net Income to be in the range of US$170 million to US$190 million

•North American volumes to be in the range of 740 million to 770 million standard feet

•North American EBIT margin to be in the range of 30% to 32%

For the full year FY24, we expect to spend a total of approximately US$550 million in capital expenditures.

James Hardie’s guidance is based on current estimates and assumptions and is subject to several known and unknown uncertainties and risks.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information; Australian Equivalent Terminology

This Media Release includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), such as Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments. Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company is unable to forecast the comparable US GAAP financial measure for future periods due to, amongst other factors, uncertainty regarding the impact of actuarial estimates on asbestos-related assets and liabilities in future periods. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Media Release, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Company’s Management’s Analysis of Results for the first quarter ended 30 June 2023.

In addition, this Media Release includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies, such as EBIT and EBIT margin. Since the Company prepares its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross- reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Media Release to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non- GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Company’s Management’s Analysis of Results for the first quarter ended 30 June 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Media Release contains forward-looking statements and information that are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein.

Exhibit 99.4

Management’s Analysis of Results

This Management’s Analysis of Results forms part of a package of information about James Hardie Industries plc’s results. It should be read in conjunction with the other parts of this package, including the Media Release, the Management Presentation and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as otherwise indicated in this Management’s Analysis of Results, 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,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” Definitions for certain capitalized terms used in this Management’s Analysis of Results can be found in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

This Management’s Analysis of Results includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measures. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its financial condition and operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. These measures exclude the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments, or significant non-recurring items, such as asset impairments, restructuring expenses, as well as adjustments to tax expense. In addition, management provides an adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes the tax impact of the special pre-tax items (items listed above) and special tax items. Management believes that this non-GAAP tax measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors may find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting and is an alternative method of assessing the economic impact of taxes on the Company, as it more closely approximates payments to taxing authorities. Management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Management’s Analysis of Results, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” In addition, this Management’s Analysis of Results includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies. Since James Hardie prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Management’s Analysis of Results to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

•Net sales decreased 5% to US$954.3 million driven by a volume decrease of 11% resulting from weaker global housing markets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average net sales price for all three operating segments.

•Adjusted EBIT margin increased 3.7 percentage points to 24.5% driven by strong EBIT margin growth in our North America and Asia Pacific segments.

Overall, the Company started fiscal year 2024 strong by delivering a record Adjusted EBIT of US$234.2 million and operating cash flow of US$252.3 million. In addition, our Adjusted Net Income of US$174.5 million is our best historical first quarter result. While the outlook for the housing markets we participate is still uncertain, management remains focused on working safely, partnering with our customers, managing decisively and controlling what we can control.

We have a superior value proposition with the right products and solutions that our customers are seeking, which allows us to continue to deliver differentiated results. We are homeowner focused, customer and contractor driven, providing the entire value chain with world class products and services.

OPERATING RESULTS

North America Fiber Cement Segment

Operating results for the North America Fiber Cement segment were as follows:

US$ Millions																		Three Months Ended 30 June
																								FY24						FY23						Change
Volume (mmsf)																								747.8						823.7						(9%)
Average net sales price per unit (per msf)																								US$923						US$893						3%
Fiber cement net sales																								694.8						740.1						(6%)
Gross profit																																				9%
Gross margin (%)																																				5.7 pts
EBIT																								217.6						191.8						13%
EBIT margin (%)																								31.3						25.9						5.4 pts

Q1 FY24 vs Q1 FY23

Net sales decreased 6% due to a 9% decrease in volumes and a change in product mix, partially offset by a 3% increase in the average net sales price primarily due to strategic price increases. The volume decline was driven by a decrease in activity in the US housing market.

Gross margin increased as a result of the following components:

Higher average net sales price			2.2		pts
Lower production and distribution costs			3.5		pts
Total percentage point change in gross margin			5.7		pts

Lower production and distribution costs resulted primarily from lower freight costs. In addition to the significant decrease in freight costs, there was a modest net improvement across the entirety of the remaining items making up production and distribution costs; notably pulp costs decreased while cement prices increased.

SG&A expenses decreased 4% primarily driven by lower marketing costs and professional services. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 0.2 percentage points.

EBIT margin increased 5.4 percentage points to 31.3%, driven by higher gross margin.

OPERATING RESULTS

Q1 FY24 vs Q1 FY23 (€)

Net sales decreased 1% due to an 18% decrease in volumes, offset by a 22% increase in average net sales price driven by our strategic price increases and a change in product mix. The volume decrease primarily resulted from lower fiber gypsum volumes as housing market activity decreased.

The increase in gross margin is attributable to the following components:

Higher average net sales price			11.5		pts
Higher production and distribution costs			(9.3		pts)
Total percentage point change in gross margin			2.2		pts

Higher production and distribution costs resulted from inflationary pressures, the largest impacts being increased costs of gypsum and energy, partially offset by lower freight and paper costs.

SG&A expenses increased 14% primarily due to higher employee and marketing costs. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased 2.3 percentage points.

EBIT margin of 9.8% decreased 0.5 percentage points primarily driven by higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher gross margin.

General Corporate

Results for General Corporate were as follows:

US$ Millions																		Three Months Ended 30 June
																								FY24						FY23						Change %
General Corporate SG&A expenses																								$	33.4					$	23.7					41
Asbestos:
Asbestos adjustments (gain) loss																								(0.1)						(13.2)						(99)
AICF SG&A expenses																								0.4						0.3						33
General Corporate costs																								$	33.7					$	10.8					212

General Corporate SG&A expenses increased US$9.7 million primarily due to higher stock compensation expenses mainly driven by an increase in the share price during the period compared to a decrease in the prior corresponding period.

Asbestos adjustments primarily reflect the non-cash foreign exchange re-measurement impact on asbestos related balance sheet items, driven by the change in the AUD/USD spot exchange rate from the beginning balance sheet date to the ending balance sheet date, for each respective period. In addition, these amounts are partially offset by gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts related to future AICF payments.

Readers are referred to Note 6 of our 30 June 2023 condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on asbestos.

These forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events and conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond the Company’s control. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied in this Management Presentation, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Section 3 “Risk Factors” in James Hardie’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 March 2023; changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which the Company does business, including; changes in interest rates; changes in inflation rates; changes in exchange rates; the level of construction generally; changes in cement demand and prices; changes in raw material and energy prices; changes in business strategy and various other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. James Hardie assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this Management Presentation except as required by law. This Management Presentation includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These financial measures are designed to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our performance from on-going operations, capital efficiency and profit generation. Management uses these financial measures for the same purposes. These financial measures are or may be non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as applicable, in the calculation of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments. Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Management Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the slide titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation. In addition, this Management Presentation includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies, such as operating profit, EBIT and EBIT margin. Since the Company prepares its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Management Presentation to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

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

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited 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 2023 from which the prior year balance sheet information herein was derived. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of JHI plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”). Unless the context indicates otherwise, JHI plc and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIE (as of the time relevant to the applicable reference) are collectively referred to as “James Hardie”, the “James Hardie Group” or the “Company”. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

The Company has recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheets certain foreign 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 foreign currencies and subject to translation (foreign entities) or remeasurement (Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (“AICF”) entity and Euro denominated debt) into US dollars at each reporting date. Unless otherwise noted, the Company converts foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into US dollars at the current spot rate at the end of the reporting period; while revenues and expenses are converted using an average exchange rate for the period. The Company records gains and losses on its Euro denominated debt which are economically offset by foreign exchange gains and losses on loans between subsidiaries, resulting in a net immaterial translation gain or loss which is recorded in the Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the three months ended 30 June 2023, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2023.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("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, had been issued.

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

									Three Months Ended 30 June
(Millions of shares)															2023						2022
Basic common shares outstanding															441.8						445.4
Dilutive effect of stock awards															1.0						0.5
Diluted common shares outstanding															442.8						445.9

There were no potential common shares which would be considered anti-dilutive for the three months ended 30 June 2023 and 2022.

Potential common shares of 0.5 million and 0.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2023 and 2022, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding as they are considered contingent shares which are not expected to vest.

2. Revenues

Fiber gypsum revenues			—						—						99.4						99.4
Total revenues			$	740.1					$	142.8					$	118.0					$	1,000.9

The process by which the Company recognizes revenues is similar across each of the Company's reportable segments. Fiber cement and fiber gypsum revenues are primarily generated from the sale of siding and various boards used in external and internal applications, as well as accessories. Fiber gypsum revenues also includes the sale of cement-bonded boards in the Europe Building Products segment.

A 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 an evaluation of the extent to which derivative instruments will achieve such risk management objectives of the Company.

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.

8.  Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

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 condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos, Australia Class Action Securities Claim and New Zealand weathertightness ("NZWT") claims as described in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

New Zealand Weathertightness Claims

Since fiscal year 2002, the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries have been 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.

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.

There remains only one outstanding NZWT claim, Cridge, et al., which was filed in 2015 on behalf of multiple plaintiffs against the Company and/or its subsidiaries as the sole defendants, which alleges that the New Zealand subsidiaries’ products were inherently defective. The Company believes it has substantial factual and legal defenses to the claim and is defending the claim vigorously.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Cridge, et al. (Case Nos. CIV-2015-485-594 and CIV-2015-485-773), In the High Court of New Zealand, Wellington Registry (hereinafter the “Cridge litigation”). From August to December 2020, the trial of phase one of the Cridge litigation was held in Wellington, New Zealand solely to determine whether the Company’s New Zealand subsidiaries had a duty to the plaintiffs and breached that duty. In August 2021, the Wellington High Court issued its decision finding in favor of the Company on all claims (the “Cridge Decision”). In September 2021, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s decision, and subsequently the appellate court held a hearing in August 2022. The Company anticipates the appellate court will issue its decision during calendar year 2023. As of 30 June 2023, the Company has not recorded a reserve related to the Cridge litigation as the chance of loss remains not probable following the Cridge Decision. An adverse judgement on the Cridge matter could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Waitakere, et al. (Case No. CIV-2015-404-3080), In the High Court of New Zealand, Auckland Registry was settled on 24 April 2023 via a negotiated commercial agreement, the terms of which are confidential.

Australia Class Action Securities Claim

On 8 May 2023, a group proceeding (class action) was filed in The Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia by Raeken Pty Ltd against James Hardie Industries plc on behalf of persons who purchased certain James Hardie equity securities from 7 February 2022, through 7 November 2022. The litigation is being funded by a litigation funder in Australia, CASL Funder Pty Ltd. The proceeding includes allegations that James Hardie breached relevant provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Australian and Securities Investment Act 2001 (Cth), including with respect to certain forward-looking statements James Hardie made about forecasted financial performance measures during the period specified above. The Company is reviewing this matter and will defend the allegations vigorously. As of 30 June 2023, the Company has not recorded a reserve related to this matter as the chance of loss is not probable and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.

Environmental

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, soil 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.

9.  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 three months ended 30 June 2023, the Company paid taxes, net of refunds, of US$6.0 million.

Income tax expense differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s mix of pre-tax income by jurisdiction, foreign taxes on domestic income and foreign exchange on asbestos.

Deferred income taxes include net operating loss carry-forwards. At 30 June 2023, the Company had tax loss carry-forwards in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US of approximately US$78.0 million that are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdiction. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The Australian tax loss carry-forwards primarily result from current and prior year tax deductions for contributions to AICF.

At 30 June 2023, the Company recognized a tax deduction of US$28.9 million (A$43.2 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of US$620.4 million (A$864.3 million) incurred in tax years 2019 through 2023.

Total stock-based compensation expense (income)															$	10.2					$	(0.3)

As of 30 June 2023, the unrecorded future stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards was US$26.0 million and will be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.8 years.

11. Capital Management

On 8 November 2022, the Company announced a share buyback program to acquire up to US$200 million of its outstanding shares through October 2023. Below is the activity under this program:

Chairperson’s Address 2023 Annual General Meeting Chairperson’s Address 1 Address to the 2023 Annual General Meeting Anne Lloyd, Chairperson, James Hardie Industries plc Welcome to James Hardie Industries plc’s 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM), our fourteenth AGM to be held in Dublin. As we closed out our fiscal year 2023, there’s one word on my mind: momentum. It is an energizing time for James Hardie as we drive profitable growth, deliver another strong year despite global economic challenges, and honor what makes this company great. Our fundamentals are solid, and we’re supported by a team that has shown tremendous resilience in a year of change. In September 2022, the Board of Directors appointed Aaron Erter as CEO after an extensive search process. Aaron brings deep experience leading global teams, understanding consumers’ needs, and working together to meet those needs while driving new growth and demand. We believe Aaron is the right leader for James Hardie. Zero Harm and ESG At James Hardie, Zero Harm and ESG are part of our Foundational Imperatives. Our commitment to Zero Harm remains steadfast and we make the safety, security, and well-being of our people our top priority. We aggressively promote a Zero Harm safety environment, and I am encouraged by improvements in our incident rates globally. Sustainability is a never-ending journey for us and we plan to release our fiscal year 2023 Sustainability Report on 10 August 2023. We, like so many, are on a journey to do the right thing because it is the right thing for our business, its employees, and shareholders. Today, our Board exemplifies James Hardie’s commitment to diversity with 50% women represented on the Board and 63% of the Board with diversity characteristics. Further, we are actively working to build more diversity throughout the company continuously representing our global footprint. We continue to identify and develop solutions that do right by our planet, our people and the communities where we operate. In addition, we are increasing our ESG commitments, with even larger ambitions across the company while putting roadmaps in place to get us there and hold ourselves accountable. While this is just the beginning, we are all ready to do our part in building a better future for all. As our sustainability program progresses, the Board and management are committed to aligning with best- practice reporting standards and frameworks, including those set forth by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). A Growth Company James Hardie is a Growth Company and we have a strong historical track record of creating global value; • 11% Global Net Sales, 10 year CAGR • 3x Global Operating Cash Flow, 3 year average FY23 vs FY13 • 40% Global Adjusted ROCE, avg FY19-FY23 • 16% Global Adjusted Net Income, 10 year CAGR

Chairperson’s Address 2023 Annual General Meeting Chairperson’s Address 2 We have the right strategy and people in place across all 3 regions in which we operate to continue to deliver long term sustainable growth. Importantly, we have the right strategic initiatives in place to execute on our opportunities that will propel growth. These initiatives include to; 1) Profitably grow and take where we have the right to win, 2) Bring our customers high value, differentiated solutions, and 3) Connect and influence all participants in the customer value chain. Across our business, we are Homeowner Focused, Customer and Contractor Driven. In North America, we’re deepening our relationships with our key customers and builders. In fact, approximately one in five new homes in the U.S. use James Hardie as their primary cladding. We see significant opportunities in Europe to grow share in the plank and panel markets while we continue to support our existing investments in underfloor heating. And we’re working to drive further penetration across our APAC countries through innovative solutions and collaboration over the entire value chain. Innovation continues to play a critical role in accelerating our growth around the world. I’m excited by what we’re doing in Europe to boost our siding and flooring segments and how we’re expanding our award- winning Hardie ™ Architectural Collection in our North America and Asia Pacific regions, all on top of an already strong core business. While this last year has been challenging, the James Hardie team executed successfully to close out our fiscal year 2023, delivering record net sales globally and in all three regions in local currency for the full year. We delivered full year Adjusted Net Income and Operating Cash Flows of US$605.5 million and US$607.6 million, respectively. Asbestos Injury Compensation Fund (AICF) Since the inception of AICF, James Hardie has contributed approximately A$2.1 billion to the fund. We at James Hardie remain committed to AICF and the terms of the Amended and Restated Final Funding Agreement. Board Changes We remain committed to ensuring we have a strong, diverse, and independent Board, and I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their continued support and demonstrated leadership during the year. In accordance with our previously announced Chair succession plan, I assumed the role of Chairperson at the conclusion of the 2022 AGM. In November 2022, we welcomed Renee Peterson and she will be standing for election at this AGM. Renee previously served as Vice President and CFO for The Toro Company, a leading worldwide provider of innovative solutions for the outdoor environment with responsibility for all aspects of finance, information technology and investor relations. Renee also previously served in various financial leadership positions at Eaton Corporation and spent over 25-years at Honeywell International. Renee’s career has spanned several different areas within the industrial sector, including aerospace, automotive, construction and consumer products. Closing I would like to close today by extending the Board’s gratitude and thanks to the over 5,000 employees of James Hardie around the world. Your ability to navigate the global market uncertainty while accelerating the strategy and improving the financial results is truly extraordinary and a testament to a strong team that is working globally and cross-functionally. There is momentum across every part of James Hardie. We are working to exceed the expectations of our people, sharpen our message, and accelerate our innovations, all of which will expand our growth and build on the storied legacy of James Hardie. END

2 CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Management Presentation contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. James Hardie Industries plc (the “Company”) may from time to time make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 20-F and 6-K, in its annual reports to shareholders, in media releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by the Company’s officers, directors or employees to analysts, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “forecast,” “guideline,” “aim,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “continue,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events and conditions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond the Company’s control. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied in this Management Presentation, including, among others, the risks and uncertainties set forth in Section 3 “Risk Factors” in James Hardie’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 March 2022; changes in general economic, political, governmental and business conditions globally and in the countries in which the Company does business, including the impact of COVID-19; changes in interest rates; changes in inflation rates; changes in exchange rates; the level of construction generally; changes in cement demand and prices; changes in raw material and energy prices; changes in business strategy and various other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. James Hardie assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this Management Presentation except as required by law. This Management Presentation includes financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). These financial measures are designed to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our performance from on-going operations, capital efficiency and profit generation. Management uses these financial measures for the same purposes. These financial measures are or may be non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as applicable, in the calculation of the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent GAAP measure. Management has included such measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations and excludes the impact of certain legacy items, such as asbestos adjustments. Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the Company’s competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Management Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent GAAP measure, see the slide titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation. In addition, this Management Presentation includes financial measures and descriptions that are considered to not be in accordance with GAAP, but which are consistent with financial measures reported by Australian companies, such as operating profit, EBIT and EBIT margin. Since the Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the Company provides investors with definitions and a cross-reference from the non-GAAP financial measure used in this Management Presentation to the equivalent GAAP financial measure used in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in the Appendix to this Management Presentation.
