Company Guidance -

Q4 2025

During the James Hardie Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, Aaron Erter, Chief Executive Officer, provided comprehensive guidance for FY '26, emphasizing the company's strategic focus and financial expectations. The company anticipates low single-digit net sales growth in North America, despite forecasting a mid-single-digit decline in market volumes. This growth is driven by continued investments in strategic initiatives like the expansion of their ColorPlus technology, which saw double-digit growth in FY '25. The company reported $2.9 billion in North American sales for FY '25, with an EBIT margin of 29.4% and an EBITDA of $1 billion, translating to a 35% EBITDA margin. For FY '26, James Hardie expects EBITDA margins to remain stable at approximately 35%, supported by cost savings initiatives that are projected to counter high single-digit raw material inflation. Additionally, the company is planning for free cash flow to exceed $500 million, reflecting a 30% increase from FY '25, aided by a $100 million reduction in capital expenditures to $325 million. The guidance also highlighted the strategic combination with The AZEK Company, expected to enhance growth and deliver $500 million in commercial synergies and $125 million in cost synergies over the next few years.
