JHX · James Hardie Industries plc · Debt

As of March 31, 2026, our total indebtedness was $4,567.2 million and, as described below, we may incur more debt. Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements; requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows to debt service payments instead of other purposes; increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest; limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete and placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors; and increasing our cost of borrowing.
