James Hardie Industries plc (JHX) reports outcomes from the August 20, 2026 annual general meeting and a related amendment to its Articles of Association. Shareholders approved changes to Articles 109(a) and 110 so the classified Board provisions apply consistently to all Directors, including the Chief Executive Officer, with the Board designating by majority vote the class to which any CEO-Director is assigned and the three-year re-election period running from that designation date.
Shareholders elected or re-elected Nigel Stein, Renee Peterson, and Rob Sindel as Directors for terms expiring at the 2029 annual meeting. They recommended holding advisory votes on executive compensation every year and approved the 2026 advisory “say-on-pay” resolution. On a binding basis, shareholders approved a CEO equity grant and the issue of securities under the James Hardie 2020 Non-Executive Director Equity plan, and increased the maximum aggregate annual compensation for non-executive Directors by $700,000 to $4,500,000. Shareholders also approved the financial statements and Board and EY reports for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, and ratified EY as external auditor for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, including authority for the Board to fix the auditor’s compensation.

Q4 net sales rose to $1.40 billion, up 45% year over year, with adjusted EBITDA up 42% to $380.9 million, exceeding guidance.

Free cash flow is expected to be at least $500 million, more than $200 million above FY26, supported by synergy realization, manufacturing cost actions and lower integration and acquisition-related spending.
