Rhea AI JHX FY2026 2026-10-03

FY2026 added scale, but debt, goodwill, and amortization absorbed much of the operating benefit from higher revenue.

Revenue grew to $4.8B, but operating margin fell to 9.3%. EBITDA increased to $941M while operating income fell to $448M, linking weaker reported profit to the much larger depreciation-and-amortization charge.

Long-term debt reached $4.5B and the debt-to-equity ratio was 0.7x, making the financing structure more leveraged than the prior year. Goodwill expanded to $4.8B while total assets reached $13.7B, so much of the reported scale increase sits in balance-sheet assets rather than revenue alone.

Operating cash flow was $590M against net income of $104M, so cash generation held up better than reported earnings. Free cash flow was $206M after $384M of capital spending, leaving reinvestment to absorb much of the cash produced.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

1.91

James Hardie Industries plc scores 1.91, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($14.6B) relative to total liabilities ($7.3B). This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

5.67x

For every $1 of reported earnings, James Hardie Industries plc generates $5.67 in operating cash flow ($589.8M OCF vs $104.0M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage At Risk

1.94x

James Hardie Industries plc earns $1.94 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($447.6M vs $231.1M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.

James Hardie Industries plc (JHX) scores 54 out of 100 on our Financial Health Score, indicating moderate standing within its operating companies peer group. The score is a 0-100 composite of six dimensions (Profitability, Growth, Leverage, Liquidity, Cash Flow, Returns), each ranked as a percentile relative to companies in the same scoring family (banks against banks, REITs against REITs, and so on) rather than across all industries. It rates the quality of the business, not whether the stock is fairly priced, and is not financial advice. Learn more in our complete guide to financial health indicators.
