James Hardie Reports Strong Q2 2027 Results with 24% Net Sales Growth
James Hardie Industries plc (JHX) reported robust second-quarter fiscal 2027 results, characterized by a 24% year-over-year increase in net sales to $1.43 billion. The company saw significant growth across all segments, particularly in Deck, Rail & Accessories, which rose 51%, and Siding & Trim, which grew 15%. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 44% to $454.7 million, supported by margin expansion driven by favorable volume, pricing, and product mix. Despite the strong performance, management issued a cautious outlook due to softening macroeconomic conditions in the housing market. The company revised its market forecast to a mid-single-digit decline from previous estimates. However, James Hardie remains focused on deleveraging, having repaid over $1 billion in debt since the AZEK acquisition and raising its full-year free cash flow target to more than $650 million.
