As part of these actions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nThe Company\u2019s manufacturing facilities in Fontana, California and Summerville, South Carolina<b \/>will close within the next 60 days;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThe sites\u2019 manufacturing operations, which represent approximately 6% of the Company\u2019s year-to-date North American volume, will be absorbed by other facilities; and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nThe Fontana site\u2019s Innovation and Research &amp; Development functions will remain in operation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nAaron Erter, Chief Executive Officer, said, \u201cDuring the past several years, James Hardie has made significant investments in modernizing our manufacturing facilities to improve efficiency, support our material conversion opportunities, and to better serve our customers. Following a comprehensive review of our manufacturing network, we have decided to transfer more production volume to our modern, advanced plants. These actions will further improve our cost structure, increase productivity, and reinforce the Hardie Operating System, while ensuring we have the capacity needed to support our growth initiatives. Our focus remains on driving sustainable growth and value creation over the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nErter continued, \u201cThe decision to close our plants in Fontana, California, and Summerville, South Carolina was not taken lightly, and I want to thank the teams at these sites for their years of dedication and hard work. We are grateful for their many contributions, which have been significant in shaping James Hardie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Financial Impact and FY26 Guidance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company expects the site closures and optimization initiatives to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $25 million beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. These cost savings will be driven by reduced fixed costs and improved utilization across the remaining manufacturing network, and are incremental to any cost synergy savings related to the recent AZEK acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company expects to incur one-time pre-tax charges of approximately $40 million to $44 million, in connection with the site closures and optimization actions. These charges are expected to consist primarily of employee severance, benefits and transition-related costs, contract termination, and facility exit costs, as well as asset impairments and other non-cash charges.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe one-time pre-tax charges are expected to be recognized primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, split approximately evenly between cash and non-cash items. Further information will be shared on the Company\u2019s upcoming third quarter earnings call.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn connection with today\u2019s announcement, James Hardie reaffirmed its guidance for the third quarter and full year of fiscal year 2026 provided on November 18, 2025, in connection with its second quarter earnings results.<\/p>\n<p><b>About James Hardie<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nJames Hardie Industries plc is the industry leader in exterior home and outdoor living solutions, with a portfolio that includes fiber cement, fiber gypsum, and composite and PVC decking and railing products.
