New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 41% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • May 21

James Hardie Industries Plc. Settles New Zealand Weathertightness Case James Hardie Industries plc announced that the weathertightness class action litigation brought against James Hardie before the Auckland High Court has been settled (Case No. CIV-2015-404-2981, previously described by James Hardie as the “White litigation”). As part of the settlement James Hardie will receive a payment of NZD 1.25 million. The terms of the settlement are not confidential. The key settlement terms include: Harbour Litigation Funding will pay James Hardie NZD 1.25 million. There is no admission of liability by any party. There is a full and final settlement of all claims arising directly or indirectly out of the White litigation in relation to the Harditex cladding product. The case will be discontinued in its entirety. The White litigation trial commenced on 17 May 2021 and was settled mid-way through a 17-week trial in the Auckland High Court. At the time of settlement, the plaintiffs’ evidence was largely completed, and James Hardie had yet to finish delivering its opening submissions or call any witnesses. The claim, filed in late 2015, was managed by Adina Thorn Lawyers and fully funded by Harbour Litigation Funding, one of the world’s largest litigation funders. As described in 31 March 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F, the White litigation was one of three New Zealand weathertightness cases pending prior to this settlement. With the White litigation settled, the Company has two remaining New Zealand Weathertightness claims outstanding: the “Cridge litigation” and the “Waitakere litigation”. Additional information about these claims can be found in 31 March 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F. Regarding the Cridge litigation, the Company expects a ruling from the Wellington High Court during the month of August 2021. The Waitakere litigation is scheduled to commence in May 2023 in the Auckland High Court. The Company believes it has substantial factual and legal defenses to these claims and is defending the claims vigorously. Reported Earnings • May 19
