NEW YORK (Nov. 5, 2025) – CRH (NYSE: CRH), the leading provider of building materials, today reported third quarter 2025 financial results. Total revenues of $11.1 billion (Q3 2024: $10.5 billion) were 5% ahead of the prior year period driven by positive demand, strong commercial execution and contributions from acquisitions. Net income of $1.5 billion (Q3 2024: $1.4 billion) was 9% ahead of the prior year, reflecting a strong underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.7 billion (Q3 2024: $2.5 billion) increased by 10% as a result of continued pricing momentum, good contributions from acquisitions and further operational efficiencies. CRH’s net income margin of 13.7% was ahead of Q3 2024 (13.2%), while Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 24.3% (Q3 2024: 23.3%) was also ahead of the comparable prior year period.

During the quarter, CRH completed nine acquisitions for a total consideration of $2.5 billion, enabled by CRH’s unmatched scale, connected portfolio, and proven growth capabilities. As part of its ongoing share buyback program and reflecting the financial strength of CRH, the Company returned $1.1 billion of cash to shareholders year-to-date and is commencing an additional $0.3 billion tranche to be completed no later than February 17, 2026.

Jim Mintern, Chief Executive Officer, stated1"CRH delivered a strong third quarter performance driven by favorable underlying demand, positive pricing momentum and further contributions from acquisitions. We are pleased to reaffirm Net income and raise our Adjusted EBITDA* guidance for 2025, representing another record year for CRH. Our superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading performance continues to deliver higher sales, profits and margins. Backed by our robust balance sheet and strong cash generation, we have invested $4.7 billion in growth investments year-to-date while returning approximately $1.8 billion to our shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. We have completed 27 acquisitions year-to-date, including the acquisition of Eco Material Technologies, and continue to see an active pipeline of value-accretive opportunities supported by infrastructure megatrends across our key growth platforms. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect favorable market dynamics and the continued execution of our strategy to underpin another year of growth and shareholder value creation."

Americas Materials Solutions' total revenues were 6% ahead of the prior year, supported by favorable underlying activity levels, sustained pricing momentum and contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 5% year-on-year, reflecting good commercial management and acquisition contributions, against a strong prior year comparison.

Americas Building Solutions' total revenues were 2% ahead of Q3 2024, driven by contributions from acquisitions, good demand in the energy sector and ongoing reindustrialization activity. Adjusted EBITDA was 22% ahead of the prior year reflecting the benefits of ongoing business and asset optimization initiatives, including the gain on disposal of certain land assets across our operations.

International Solutions' total revenues were 5% ahead of Q3 2024, supported by good commercial execution and contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was 15% ahead of the prior year, driven by operational efficiencies, resilient pricing and contributions from acquisitions.

Detailed business segment information is available as part of the Company's Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment expenses of $0.6 billion were $0.1 billion higher than the prior year (Q3 2024: $0.5 billion), primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and higher capital expenditure.

Interest income of $37 million was $4 million higher than the comparable period (Q3 2024: $33 million). Interest expense of $209 million was higher than the comparable period (Q3 2024: $164 million), primarily due to an increase in gross debt balances.

Income tax expense of $0.4 billion (Q3 2024: $0.5 billion) was reduced in the period, reflecting a lower effective tax rate compared to the prior year.

Other nonoperating income, net, was $12 million, a decrease from the comparable period in the prior year (Q3 2024: $62 million) which benefited from a gain on divestitures.

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.21 was 12% higher than the prior year (Q3 2024: $1.97) supported by strong operating performance and the ongoing share buyback program.

Total short and long-term debt was $18.7 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $14.0 billion at December 31, 2024.

Net Debt* at September 30, 2025, was $15.0 billion, compared to $10.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in Net Debt* reflects acquisitions completed, cash returns to shareholders through continued share buybacks and dividends, as well as the purchase of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by inflows from operating activities. CRH ended Q3 2025 with $4.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand (September 30, 2024: $3.1 billion) and $4.2 billion of undrawn committed facilities. CRH remains committed to maintaining its robust balance sheet and expects to maintain a strong investment-grade credit rating with a BBB+ or equivalent rating with each of the three main rating agencies.

In line with its policy of consistent long-term dividend growth, on November 5, 2025, CRH declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share, representing a 6% increase on the prior year. The dividend will be paid on December 17, 2025, to shareholders registered on November 21, 2025.

We are pleased to update our guidance for 2025, including reaffirming the Net income guidance range and increasing the Adjusted EBITDA* guidance midpoint, reflecting the continued execution of our strategy, leading performance across our markets, and contributions from acquisitions. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect favorable underlying demand across our key end-markets, underpinned by significant public investment in infrastructure and continued reindustrialization activity. Within the residential sector, the new-build segment is expected to remain subdued, while repair and remodel activity remains resilient. Assuming normal seasonal weather patterns and absent any major dislocations in the political or macroeconomic environment, CRH's superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading positions of scale in attractive high-growth markets, together with our strong and flexible balance sheet, are expected to underpin another year of growth and value creation in 2026.
