Aaron Erter, CEO of James Hardie, discussed the company's performance and strategy during the Q2 FY26 earnings call. He stated that the company had a strong first quarter, with results ahead of expectations, driven by organic growth in the fiber cement business, despite an uncertain economic and housing market. Erter also highlighted a new exclusive distribution agreement with Boise, which he said would concentrate demand behind a single national partner and combine sales forces to better sell the company's full product line. Erter also addressed the company's financial targets, including a goal of reaching a $125 million run rate in commercial revenue synergies by fiscal 2027. He noted that the company is seeing broad-based wins across its combined sales force, which is strengthening its conviction in achieving this target. The company is also targeting a net leverage of 2.4x by fiscal year-end.
