These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts or matters of fact at the date of this document.

1.2. Basis of presentation and use of estimates
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. In the opinion of our management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods and at the dates presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates may be necessary if there are changes in the circumstances or experiences on which the estimate was based or as a result of new information.
Changes in estimates, including those resulting from changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities, or in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contract assets were $957 million, $690 million and $1,004 million and contract liabilities were $405 million, $500 million and $495 million, at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $382 million and $382 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, which was previously included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Contract assets include unbilled revenue and retentions held by customers in respect of construction contracts at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024 amounting to $697 million and $260 million, $450 million and $240 million, and $752 million and $252 million, respectively. Unbilled revenue represents the estimated value of unbilled work for projects with performance obligations recognized over time. Retentions represent amounts that have been billed to customers but payment is withheld until final acceptance of the performance obligation by the customer. Retentions that have been billed, but are not due until completion of performance and acceptance by customers, are generally expected to be collected within one year. The Company applies the practical expedient and does not adjust any of its transaction prices for the time value of money.
On September 30, 2025, the Company had $3,592 million of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. The majority of open contracts at September 30, 2025 are expected to close and revenue to be recognized within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

3. Acquisitions
The Company strategically acquires companies in order to increase its footprint and offer products and services that enhance its existing offerings. These acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition with the remaining amount recorded in Goodwill.
On September 15, 2025, the Company acquired Eco Material Technologies, a leading supplier of cementitious materials headquartered in Utah, United States (the 'Eco Material' acquisition) for a total consideration of $2,089 million. The Eco Material acquisition is reported in the Americas Materials Solutions segment.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 22 companies. The total cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $3,121 million. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition dates. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practical but no later than one year from the acquisition dates.
The provisional amounts for assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration related to the acquisitions at September 30, 2025, including measurement period adjustments to provisional fair values in respect of acquisitions completed in previous periods, were:

(i) Acquisitions are aggregated on the basis of individual immateriality. The acquisition balance sheet presented in this note reflects the identifiable net assets acquired in respect of acquisitions completed in the nine months through September 30, 2025, together with measurement period adjustments to provisional fair values in respect of acquisitions completed during previous periods; none of which were material.
As a result of the acquisitions completed through September 30, 2025, including adjustments to provisional values, the Company recognized $985 million of amortizable intangible assets and $1,399 million of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired and includes the expected benefit of cost savings and synergies within the Company’s segments and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Of the goodwill recognized in respect of the acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $1,259 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The amortizable intangible assets will be amortized against earnings over a weighted average of 19 years.

For the period from acquisition date through September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, acquisitions contributed $322 million and $733 million to Total revenues and a loss of $13 million and $3 million to Net income attributable to CRH, excluding substantial acquisition-related costs that arose in that period and including the effect of interest expense to finance the acquisitions, respectively.
Pro forma results of operations for the current year acquisitions, as if they were combined as of January 1, 2024, have not been presented because they are not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Senior Notes:
The Senior Notes are issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and carry full and unconditional guarantees from the Company, as defined in the indentures that govern them. These Senior Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and hold an equal standing in payment priority with the Company's existing and future senior unsubordinated indebtedness.
With the exception of the 6.400 % Senior Notes due 2033, all other Senior Notes can be redeemed before their respective par call dates, at a make-whole redemption price. Post par call dates and before the respective maturity dates, the Senior Notes can be redeemed at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount, along with any accrued and unpaid interest.
In the event of a change-of-control repurchase event, the Company is obligated to offer repurchase options for the 3.400 % Senior Notes due 2027, 3.950 % Senior Notes due 2028, 5.200 % Senior Notes due 2029, 5.125 % Senior Notes due 2030, 5.400 % Senior Notes due 2034, 5.500 % Senior Notes due 2035, 5.125 % Senior Notes due 2045, 4.400 % Senior Notes due 2047, 4.500 % Senior Notes due 2048 and 5.875 % Senior Notes due 2055. This repurchase involves a cash payment equal to 101 % of the principal amount, along with any accrued and unpaid interest.
CRH Form 10-Q 17
If the Company's credit rating falls below investment-grade, the Company would be required to make an additional coupon step-up payment on the 5.125 % Senior Notes due 2045. The increase is 25 basis points per rating notch per agency, capped at 100 basis points per agency. However, this coupon step-up would reverse if the Company returns to an investment-grade rating.
In October 2025, the Company raised an aggregate of $2.5 billion through the issuance and sale of Guaranteed Notes across three tranches in 5-year , 10-year and 30-year tenors with coupon rates of 4.400 %, 5.000 % and 5.600 % respectively. See Note 18 for further information.
Bank Debt:
The Company maintains a multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility (the 'RCF') with a syndicate of lenders. The RCF offers a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of €3,500 million over five years , maturing May 11, 2030. Borrowings under the RCF bear interest at rates based upon an underlying base rate, plus a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. Base rates include SOFR for U.S. Dollar, Euro Interbank Offer Rate (EURIBOR) for euros, Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) for Sterling, and Swiss Average Rate Overnight (SARON) for Swiss Francs, respectively. A commitment fee is payable on a quarterly basis based on a percentage of the applicable margin and calculated on the daily undrawn amount of the facility.
The deferred financing costs associated with the RCF were $5 million at September 30, 2025. The total potential credit available through this arrangement is €3,500 million, inclusive of the ability to issue letters of credit.
At September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, there were no 4,109 million (€3,500 million equivalent).
The RCF includes customary terms and conditions for investment-grade borrowers. There are no financial covenants.
In December 2024, the Company entered into a new $750 million two-year fixed rate term loan facility which was fully drawn.
Philippines (PHP) Debt:
In March 2017, the Company's subsidiary, Republic Cement & Building Materials, Inc., entered into a credit arrangement with the Bank of the Philippine Islands. The Company does not provide a guarantee for this facility. The initial credit agreement provided for total commitments of PHP12.5 billion for a 10-year term, which was later expanded to PHP22.5 billion. The funds drawn from this facility carry a combination of fixed and floating interest rates.
Australian (AUD) Debt:
In July 2024, the Company acquired Adbri which has committed credit agreements with a range of banks and credit institutions totaling AUD940 million. The Company does not provide a guarantee for these facilities. The funds drawn from these facilities carry a combination of fixed and floating interest rates.
Commercial Paper:
At September 30, 2025, the Company had a $4,000 million U.S. Dollar Commercial Paper Program and a €1,500 million Euro Commercial Paper Program. The purpose of these programs is to provide short-term liquidity as required. The Company’s RCF supports the commercial paper programs with a separate €750 million swingline sublimit which allows for same-day drawing in either euro or U.S. Dollar. Commercial paper borrowings may vary during the period, largely as a result of fluctuations in funding requirements.
The long-term debt maturities, net of the unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs, for the periods subsequent to September 30, 2025 are as follows:

9. Fair value measurement
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.
Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value.
The carrying values of the Company’s Long-term debt were $18,579 million, $13,851 million, and $13,737 million at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, respectively. The fair values of the Company’s Long-term debt were $18,584 million, $13,604 million, and $13,599 million at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company’s Long-term debt obligations are Level 2 instruments whose fair value is derived from quoted market prices.
The Redeemable noncontrolling interests included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are marked to fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The redemption value of Redeemable noncontrolling interests approximates the fair value and is based on a range of estimated potential outcomes of the expected payment amounts primarily dependent on underlying performance metrics. The unobservable inputs in the valuation include a discount rate determined using a Capital Asset Pricing Model methodology with ranges of between 6.10 % and 7.13 %.
See Note 16 for the changes in the fair value of Redeemable noncontrolling interests.
CRH Form 10-Q 18
10. Income taxes
The Company’s tax provision for the interim period is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate based on the expected full-year results which is applied to ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax provision is adjusted for discrete items that occur in the applicable interim period to arrive at the effective income tax rate.

15. Variable interest entities
The Company’s operations in the Philippines are conducted through a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), wherein the Company holds 40 % of the equity share capital and a 55 % share of earnings and distributions. The remaining noncontrolling interest of 60 % equity share capital and 45 % share of earnings and distributions is held by an unrelated party. The Company’s voting rights are not proportional to its share of earnings and distributions, and substantially all of the activities of the Philippines business are conducted on behalf of the Company and controlled by the Company through contractual relationships. The Philippines business meets the definition of a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, is consolidated.
Further, the Company has provided subordinated debt to the intermediate parent of the Philippines business which exposes the Company to the profits and losses of the Philippines business. The debt is repayable only where the shareholder agreement of the intermediate parent of the Philippines business is terminated or where the Company transfers its shares in the intermediate parent to an unrelated entity (i.e., the debt exposure of the Company becomes in substance a residual interest in the intermediate parent).

16. Redeemable noncontrolling interests
The Redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily comprise the noncontrolling interests in two of the Company’s North American subsidiaries, which are currently redeemable. The Company has the ability to exercise the call options for the noncontrolling interests on or after December 31, 2031, and December 31, 2040, respectively. In addition to the call options, the noncontrolling interest holder has the right to sell the noncontrolling interests to the Company, which are currently exercisable. These noncontrolling interests have put and call options and both are redeemable based on multiples of EBITDA. The noncontrolling interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling equity interests, classified as temporary or mezzanine equity, as their redemption is not solely within the Company’s control. The noncontrolling interests were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition dates and are adjusted to their expected redemption values, with an offsetting entry to retained earnings, as of the reporting date as if that date was the redemption date, if those amounts exceed their respective carrying values.
The following table summarizes the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the following periods:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to convey management’s perspective regarding operational and financial performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report.
The following discussion contains trend information and forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by these forward-looking statements, as well as from our historical performance, due to various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly "Forward-Looking Statements," and Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC. Our operating results depend upon economic cycles, seasonal and other weather‐related conditions, and trends in government expenditures, among other factors. Accordingly, financial results for any financial period presented, or period-to-period comparisons of reported results, may not be indicative of future operating results.
Overview
CRH is a leading provider of building materials that build, connect and improve our world. Since formation in 1970, CRH has evolved from being a supplier of base materials to solving complex construction challenges for our customers. CRH’s connected portfolio uniquely integrates materials, products and services across the construction value chain, better serving our customers’ needs and driving repeat business. This customer centric approach is making construction simpler, safer and more sustainable.
CRH provides a connected offering of essential materials (aggregates and cementitious materials), value-added building products as well as construction services to our customers. CRH’s capabilities, innovation and technical expertise enable it to be a valuable partner for transportation and critical infrastructure projects, complex non-residential construction and outdoor living solutions.
Operating in 28 countries, the Company has market leadership positions in North America, Europe and Australia. The United States is expected to be a key driver of future growth for CRH due to continued economic expansion, a growing population and significant public investment in construction. Our International businesses, which benefit from strong economic and construction growth prospects as well as recurring repair and remodel demand, are an important strategic part of the Company. CRH intends to continue to expand its North American and International operations given significant government support for infrastructure and increasing demand for building materials in major infrastructure and commercial projects.
CRH has a proven track record in value creation through acquisition which over the last decade has accounted for approximately 60% of the Company’s profit growth. We achieve this by acquiring businesses at attractive valuations and creating value by integrating them with our existing operations and generating synergies. The Company takes an active approach to portfolio management and continuously reviews the competitive landscape for attractive investment and divestiture opportunities to deliver further growth and value creation for shareholders.
Seasonality
Activity in the construction industry is dependent to a considerable extent on the seasonal impact of weather on the Company’s operating locations, with periods of higher activity in some markets during spring, summer and autumn which may reduce significantly in winter due to inclement conditions or generally as a result of extreme weather events. In addition to impacting demand for our products and services, adverse weather can negatively impact the production processes for a variety of reasons. For example, workers may not be able to work outdoors in sustained high temperatures and heavy rainfall and/or other unfavorable weather conditions. Therefore, financial results for any particular quarter do not necessarily indicate the results expected for the full year.
Financial performance highlights
Three months ended September 30, 2025
CRH delivered a strong third quarter performance compared to the third quarter of 2024, resulting in the following performance highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (comparisons are versus the prior year's third quarter):
•Total revenues increased 5% to $11.1 billion;
•Net income increased by $130 million to $1.5 billion. Adjusted EBITDA*1was $2.7 billion, an increase of $241 million, or 10%;

CRH Form 10-Q 27
Capital allocation highlights
Nine months ended September 30, 2025
•Cash returned to shareholders through share buybacks was $0.9 billion, a decrease of $0.1 billion versus the first nine months of the prior year. On November 4, 2025, the latest tranche of the share buyback program was completed, bringing the year-to-date repurchases to $1.1 billion. A further tranche has been announced, extending the ongoing share buyback program by an additional $0.3 billion to be completed no later than February 17, 2026;
•Cash paid to shareholders through dividends was $0.7 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease primarily reflects the payment of a second interim 2023 dividend in Q1 2024, which was not repeated in Q1 2025. CRH declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share in February 2025, May 2025 and August 2025 and a fourth quarterly dividend per share of $0.37 per share announced on November 5, 2025, representing an annualized increase of 6% on the prior year; and
•A total of 22 acquisitions were completed for consideration of $3.2 billion, compared with $3.9 billion in the first nine months of the prior year. A further $1.9 billion was invested in growth and maintenance capital expenditure projects, compared with $1.6 billion for the comparable 2024 period.
Development Review
In the three months ended September 30, 2025, CRH completed nine acquisitions for a total consideration of $2.5 billion, compared with $1.4 billion in the same period of 2024. Americas Materials Solutions completed three acquisitions, Americas Building Solutions completed two acquisitions and International Solutions completed four acquisitions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CRH completed 22 acquisitions for a total consideration of $3.2 billion, compared with $3.9 billion in the first nine months of the prior year.
In September 2025, CRH completed the acquisition of Eco Material, a leading supplier of cementitious materials in North America for a total consideration of $2.1 billion. The Eco Material transaction uniquely positions CRH to meet growing demand for cementitious products to modernize North America's infrastructure.
With respect to divestitures, in the three months ended September 30, 2025, cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets were $0.1 billion, in line with the same period in 2024 (Q3 2024: $0.1 billion). For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CRH realized cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets of $0.2 billion, compared with $1.2 billion in the prior year period.
Outlook
The outlook for the remainder of 2025 is positive, 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.

Total revenues
Total revenues were $11.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 5%, from the same period in 2024, driven by positive demand, strong commercial execution and contributions from acquisitions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenues were $28.0 billion, an increase of 5% from the first nine months of 2024, reflecting effective commercial execution, continued pricing progress and contributions from acquisitions which helped offset the impact of divestitures and adverse weather conditions across several regions earlier in the year.
For additional discussion on segment revenues, see “Segments” section on pages 31 to 33.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $4.3 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 6% from the same period in 2024. The gross profit margin of 38.9% increased 30bps from 38.6% in the third quarter of the prior year. Labor and energy costs both increased by 3%, while depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 18% reflecting the impact of acquisitions and higher capital expenditures. Other costs increased 4% from the same period in 2024, resulting in a total cost of revenues increase of 5% in the quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, gross profit was $10.2 billion, an increase of $0.6 billion, or 7%, from the same period in 2024, with total revenues 5% ahead of the same period in 2024, while total cost of revenues increased by 4%. The gross profit margin of 36.3% increased 60bps from 35.7% for the first nine months of the prior year. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily driven by a 5% increase in labor costs, attributable to higher headcount from acquisitions and inflationary pressures, as well as a 22% higher depreciation and amortization expense, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and increased capital expenditures. Energy costs increased by 3%, while other costs were 2% ahead of the prior year period.

CRH Form 10-Q 29
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, which are primarily comprised of haulage costs, labor costs, and other selling and administrative expenses, were $2.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 7%, from the comparable 2024 period. The increase was primarily driven by a 9% increase in labor costs reflecting higher headcount and wage inflation and a 7% increase in haulage expenses resulting from acquisition activity.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, SG&A expenses were $6.3 billion, an increase of $0.4 billion, or 6%, from the comparable 2024 period. SG&A expenses increased primarily due to a 9% increase in labor costs impacted by higher headcount from acquisitions and wage inflation and a 6% increase in haulage expenses mainly due to acquisition activity.
Gain on disposal of long-lived assets
Gain on disposal of long-lived assets was $110 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $21 million compared with 2024. The increase was primarily due to the disposal of certain land assets in the Americas Buildings Solutions segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, gain on disposal of long-lived assets was $153 million, a decrease of $46 million. The decrease was primarily due to the non-recurrence of equivalent levels of prior year gains on land asset sales in North America.
Interest income
Interest income was $37 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $4 million from the comparable period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest income was $104 million, a decrease of $8 million from the comparable period, primarily due to lower cash deposits in the period.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $209 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $45 million from the comparable period in 2024 and $590 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $138 million from the prior period. The increase was primarily due to higher gross debt balances.
Other nonoperating income (expense), net
Other nonoperating income (expense), net, was $12 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $62 million in the comparable period for 2024. Other nonoperating income (expense), net, includes pension and postretirement benefit costs (excluding service costs), gains and losses from divestitures, and other miscellaneous income and expenses. The reduction versus prior year was reflective of the non-recurrence of prior year gains on divestitures.
Other nonoperating income (expense), net, was an expense of ($17) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with income of $246 million in the comparable period for 2024. The reduction versus prior year primarily related to the non-recurrence of the gain on the divestiture of the European Lime operations and unrealized gains on certain investments.
Income tax expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had an income tax expense of $428 million, compared to $531 million for the comparable period in 2024. The effective tax rate was 22% for the third quarter of 2025 compared with an effective tax rate of 28% for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was mainly driven by movements in uncertain tax provisions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had an income tax expense of $795 million compared to $942 million for the comparable period in 2024. The effective tax rate was 23% for the first nine months of 2025 compared with an effective tax rate of 25% for the same period in 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was mainly driven by movements in uncertain tax provisions and valuation allowances.
Income from equity method investments
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, income of $26 million was recorded in income from equity method investments, an increase of $1 million from the comparable period in 2024. Income of $17 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $10 million from the comparable period in 2024.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Supplementary Information
CRH uses a number of non-GAAP performance measures to monitor financial performance. These measures are referred to throughout the discussion of our reported financial position and operating performance on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise defined and are measures which are regularly reviewed by CRH management. These performance measures may not be uniformly defined by all companies and accordingly may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies.
Certain information presented is derived from amounts calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is not itself an expressly permitted GAAP measure. The non-GAAP performance measures as summarized below should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, loss on impairments, gain/loss on divestitures and investments, income/loss from equity method investments, substantial acquisition-related costs and pension expense/income excluding current service cost component. It is quoted by management in conjunction with other GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to aid investors in their analysis of the performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA by segment is monitored by management in order to allocate resources between segments and to assess performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by expressing Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Organic Revenue and Organic Adjusted EBITDA: CRH pursues a strategy of growth through acquisitions and investments, with total spend on acquisitions and investments of $3.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $3.9 billion for the same period in 2024. Acquisitions completed in 2024 and the first nine months of 2025 contributed incremental total revenues of $0.4 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and total revenues of $1.7 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets amounted to $0.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The total revenues impact of divestitures was a negative $0.1 billion and the impact at an Adjusted EBITDA level was $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The total revenues impact of divestitures was a negative $0.3 billion and the impact at an Adjusted EBITDA level was a negative $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The U.S. Dollar weakened against most major currencies during the three months ended September 30, 2025, from the comparable period in 2024, resulting in an overall positive currency exchange impact.
Because of the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, currency exchange translation and other non-recurring items on reported results each reporting period, CRH uses organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA as additional performance indicators to assess performance of pre-existing (also referred to as underlying, like-for-like or ongoing) operations each reporting period.
Organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are arrived at by excluding the incremental revenue and Adjusted EBITDA contributions from current and prior year acquisitions and divestitures, the impact of currency exchange translation, and the impact of any one-off items. In Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section on pages 27 to 28, changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are presented as additional measures of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to provide a greater understanding of the performance of the Company. Organic change % is calculated by expressing the organic movement as a percentage of the prior year reporting period (adjusted for currency exchange effects). A reconciliation of the changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA to the changes in total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by segment is presented with the discussion within each segment’s performance in tables contained in the segment discussion in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” commencing on page 27.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary source of incremental liquidity is cash flows from operating activities, which combined with the cash and cash equivalents balance, the uncommitted U.S. Dollar and Euro Commercial Paper Programs, and committed credit lines, is expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, upcoming debt maturities, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company believes that it will have the ability to fund additional acquisitions via cash flows from internally available cash, cash flows from operating activities and, subject to market conditions, via obtaining additional borrowings and/or issuing additional debt or equity securities.
Total short and long-term debt was $18.7 billion at September 30, 2025, compared with $14.0 billion at December 31, 2024, and $13.9 billion at September 30, 2024. In January 2025, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company completed the issuance of $1.25 billion 5.125% Senior Notes due 2030, $1.25 billion 5.500% Senior Notes due 2035, and $0.5 billion 5.875% Senior Notes due 2055. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $2.0 billion net of U.S. Commercial Paper and $0.2 billion net of Euro Commercial Paper was issued. The $1.25 billion Senior Notes due 2025 were repaid on maturity in May.
Net Debt**at September 30, 2025, was $15.0 billion, compared to $10.5 billion at December 31, 2024, and $11.2 billion at September 30, 2024. The increase in Net Debt* compared to December 31, 2024, reflects cash returns to shareholders through continued share buybacks and dividends, acquisitions, as well as the purchase of property, plant and equipment partially offset by inflows from operating activities.
CRH continued its ongoing share buyback program in the first nine months of 2025 repurchasing approximately 9.6 million Ordinary Shares for a total consideration of $0.9 billion, and the Company is commencing an additional $0.3 billion tranche to be completed no later than February 17, 2026. The Company also made cash dividend payments of $0.7 billion in the first nine months of 2025.
At September 30, 2025, CRH had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $4.3 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2024, and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2024. Total lease liabilities were $2.0 billion, compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2024, and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2024.
At September 30, 2025, CRH had $4.2 billion of undrawn committed facilities, $4.1 billion of which was available until May 2030. During April 2025, the Company extended the maturity date of $4.1 billion in undrawn committed facilities to May 2030. At September 30, 2025, the weighted average maturity of the term debt (net of cash and cash equivalents) was 7.2 years.
Other than items updated in this Quarterly Report, CRH's financial condition and the nature and composition of the Company’s material cash requirements, which include debt service and related interest payments, operating lease obligations, share repurchase commitments and other purchase obligations arising in the normal course of business, have not materially changed from those disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K.

CRH Form 10-Q 38
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
CRH is exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign exchange risks, interest rates, and commodity prices. Changes in those factors could impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Financial risk management at the Company seeks to minimize the negative impact of foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations on the Company’s earnings, cash flows and equity. Management provides oversight for risk management and derivative activities, determines certain of the Company’s financial risk policies and objectives, and provides guidelines for derivative instrument utilization.
To manage these risks, CRH uses various derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forwards and swaps, and commodity contracts. CRH only uses commonly traded and non-leveraged instruments. These contracts are entered into primarily with major banking institutions and utility companies, while CRH actively monitors its exposure to counterparty risk through the use of counterparty approvals and credit limits, thereby managing the risk of counterparty loss.
The following discussion presents the sensitivity of the market value, earnings and cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments to hypothetical changes in interest and exchange rates assuming these changes occurred at September 30, 2025.
Interest Rate Risk
CRH may be impacted by interest rate volatility with respect to existing debt and future debt issuances as well as cash balances. For fixed rate debt instruments, interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not impact earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating rate debt instruments, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of the instrument but impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming that other factors are held constant. Cash balances are held on short-term deposits and changing interest rates will impact deposit interest income earned. The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt and these may be designated and qualify as fair value hedges. Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and benchmark floating interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
At September 30, 2025, of total debt including overdrafts, finance leases and the impact of derivatives, the Company had fixed rate debt of $14.1 billion and floating rate debt of $5.1 billion, representing 73% and 27%, respectively. The equivalent figures as at December 31, 2024, were fixed rate debt of $10.8 billion and floating rate debt of $3.5 billion, representing 76% and 24%, respectively, and as at September 30, 2024, fixed rate debt of $10.4 billion and floating rate debt of $3.8 billion, representing 74% and 26%, respectively. The Company’s interest rate swaps at September 30, 2025 whereby the Company swaps from fixed interest rates to floating interest rates, were $0.5 billion, compared to $1.4 billion as at December 31, 2024 and $1.4 billion as at September 30, 2024. The Company’s interest rate swaps at September 30, 2025 whereby the Company swaps from floating interest rates to fixed interest rates, were $nil billion, compared to $0.2 billion as at December 31, 2024 and $0.2 billion as at September 30, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2025, were $4.3 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2024 and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2024, which were all held on short-term deposits and investments.
Sensitivity to interest rate moves
At September 30, 2025, the before-tax earnings and cash flows impact of a 100bps increase in interest rates, including the offsetting impact of derivatives, on the variable rate cash and debt portfolio would be approximately $9 million unfavorable ($2 million favorable at December 31, 2024 and $8 million unfavorable at September 30, 2024).
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
CRH’s exchange rate exposures result primarily from its investments and ongoing operations in countries outside of the United States and other business transactions such as the procurement of products, services and equipment from foreign sources. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may affect (i) the carrying value of the Company’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries; (ii) the translation of foreign currency earnings; and (iii) the cash flows related to foreign currency denominated transactions.
Where economically feasible, the Company maintains Net Debt*2in the same relative ratio as capital employed to act as an economic hedge of the underlying currency assets. Where it is not feasible to do so, the Company may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. These transactions are designated as net investment hedges.
The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. In addition, the Company may enter into foreign currency contracts that are not designated in hedging relationships to offset, in part, the impacts of changes in value of various non-functional currency denominated items including certain intercompany financing balances. The U.S. Dollar equivalent gross notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts was $4.1 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $4.6 billion at December 31, 2024 and $4.4 billion at September 30, 2024.
Holding all other variables constant, if there was a 10% weakening in foreign currency exchange rates versus U.S. Dollar for the portfolio, the fair market value of foreign currency contracts outstanding at September 30, 2025, would increase by approximately $20 million with an offsetting movement in the hedged foreign currency exposure. In comparison, the fair market value of foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2024 would decrease by approximately $86 million and at September 30, 2024, would decrease by approximately $104 million, with an offsetting movement in the hedged foreign currency exposure.
Commodity Price Risk
Some of the Company’s products use significant amounts of commodity-priced materials, predominantly oil, electricity, coal and carbon credits which are subject to price changes based upon fluctuations in the commodities market. This price volatility could potentially have a material impact on our financial condition and/or our results of operations. Where feasible, the Company manages commodity price risks through negotiated supply contracts and forward contracts to manage operating costs. The Company monitors commodity trends and where possible has alternative sourcing plans in place to mitigate the risk of supplier concentration and passing commodity-related inflation to customers or suppliers.
Where appropriate, the Company also has a number of derivative hedging programs in place to hedge commodity risks, with the aim of the programs being to neutralize variability arising from changes in associated commodity indices. The timeframe for such programs can be up to four years.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date at the level of providing reasonable assurance.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
