James Hardie admitted that its North America sales volumes had declined by 12% year-over-year due to customers \u201cdestocking\u201d their inventory from April to May. The company\u2019s reduced outlook for the future was tied to these high inventory levels, potentially indicating that the earlier sales figures may have been artificially inflated by pushing products into the distribution channel.<\/p>\n
