Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CRH plc reported Q2 2026 total revenues of $10.8 billion, up 6% year over year. Net income was $1.5 billion, 13% higher, while Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 billion, up 7%. Net income and Adjusted EBITDA margins improved to 14.0% and 24.4% respectively.

Americas Materials Solutions grew revenues 10% and Adjusted EBITDA 12%, and International Solutions delivered 5% revenue and 8% Adjusted EBITDA growth. Americas Building Solutions revenues fell 2% and Adjusted EBITDA 8%, mainly from divestitures and subdued residential demand, partly offset by strong energy, data and utility infrastructure activity.

CRH completed 11 acquisitions for $1.1 billion, including the $0.7 billion Axius Water deal, and realized $1.7 billion of divestiture and asset-sale proceeds. It agreed to acquire Arcosa for an enterprise value of about $8.5 billion and arranged a $5.8 billion bridge facility to support financing. Net Debt was $15.4 billion, with $3.1 billion of cash and $4.5 billion of undrawn committed facilities. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share, 5% above last year, repurchased 2.5 million shares for $0.3 billion in Q2 (year-to-date buybacks $0.7 billion), and reaffirmed 2026 guidance for net income of $3.9–$4.1 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $8.1–$8.5 billion and diluted EPS of $5.60–$6.05.

  • Q2 2026 net income was $1.5 billion, up 13% year over year, with net income margin improving to 14.0% from 13.1%.
  • Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA reached $2.6 billion, a 7% increase, and Adjusted EBITDA margin edged up to 24.4% from 24.1%.
  • CRH agreed an all-cash acquisition of Arcosa with an enterprise value of approximately $8.5 billion, reinforcing its U.S. aggregates and infrastructure position.
  • The board announced a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share, a 5% year-over-year increase, alongside $0.7 billion of year-to-date share repurchases.

Negative

  • Net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2026 was $513 million, down from $719 million in the prior-year period, while Net Debt increased to $15.4 billion.

Filing Explained

No new buyback tranche is currently disclosed after July 28; future repurchases depend on a later review.

This July 30, 2026 Form 8-K furnishes CRH’s Q2 2026 results under Item 2.02; it also reports that the latest share-buyback tranche was completed on July 28, 2026 and no new tranche has been initiated, so additional repurchases are not currently committed.

An 8-K reports specified material events, while CRH states that the results and Exhibit 99.1 are furnished rather than filed for Exchange Act Section 18 purposes, unless later expressly incorporated.

CRH says it will reevaluate the buyback program later, subject to market conditions, balance-sheet strength, capital-allocation priorities and other factors.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.6 billion (Q2 2025: $2.5 billion)"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Net Debt financial
"Net Debt* at June 30, 2026, was $15.4 billion"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
bridge facility agreement financial
"entered into a bridge facility agreement for $5.8 billion"
A bridge facility agreement is a short-term loan contract that provides immediate cash to a company while it arranges longer-term financing or completes a sale. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s near-term liquidity, debt load and the timing or terms of permanent funding; like a temporary bridge that keeps traffic moving while a permanent span is built, it fills funding gaps and can change a company’s financial picture.
redeemable noncontrolling interests financial
"Net (income) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests"
A redeemable noncontrolling interest is a minority ownership stake in a company that the holder can force the company to buy back at a set price or under certain conditions. For investors this matters because it creates a future cash obligation and can be treated more like a liability than permanent equity, affecting a company’s reported debt, net income and valuation — think of it as a part-owner who can cash out, forcing the business to pay them.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"CRH uses a number of non-GAAP financial measures to monitor"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Organic Revenue financial
"Organic Revenue and Organic Adjusted EBITDA"
Organic revenue is the sales a company generates from its regular business activities after stripping out extra effects like revenue added or lost from buying or selling other businesses and from currency swings. Think of it as measuring how much a store’s own customers increased spending, not growth from opening new stores or temporary price moves; investors use it to judge the true strength and sustainability of a company’s core demand.
Total revenues $10.8 billion +6% vs Q2 2025
Net income $1.5 billion +13% vs Q2 2025
Adjusted EBITDA $2.6 billion +7% vs Q2 2025
Diluted EPS $2.21 +14% vs Q2 2025
Guidance

For 2026, CRH guides to net income of $3.9–$4.1 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $8.1–$8.5 billion, diluted EPS of $5.60–$6.05 and capital expenditure of $2.7–$2.9 billion.

NEW YORK (Jul. 30, 2026) – CRH (NYSE: CRH), the leading provider of building materials, today reported second quarter 2026 financial results. Total revenues of $10.8 billion (Q2 2025: $10.2 billion) were 6% ahead of the prior year driven by positive pricing momentum, good underlying demand, and contributions from acquisitions. Net income of $1.5 billion (Q2 2025: $1.3 billion) was 13% higher than the prior year, driven by strong operating performance and gains on divestitures during the period. Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.6 billion (Q2 2025: $2.5 billion) increased by 7% over the prior year, reflecting disciplined commercial execution, strong performance improvement initiatives and contributions from acquisitions. CRH’s net income margin of 14.0% (Q2 2025: 13.1%) and Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 24.4% (Q2 2025: 24.1%) were both ahead of the prior year.1
Jim Mintern, Chief Executive Officer, stated “We delivered a strong Q2 performance driven by good commercial execution, favorable underlying demand and further contributions from acquisitions. Our unmatched scale, connected portfolio and leading performance supported higher profits and margin expansion against an inflationary cost backdrop. We remain focused on active portfolio management, completing three non-core divestitures, while reallocating capital into higher-growth, connected businesses. Backed by our robust balance sheet and financial capacity, we agreed the $8.5 billion acquisition of Arcosa, which will reinforce our position as the leading aggregates and critical infrastructure player in North America. Notwithstanding current geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, we remain encouraged by the underlying demand across our key markets and are pleased to reaffirm our guidance for 2026 Net income, Adjusted EBITDA* and Diluted EPS, leaving us well positioned to deliver another year of growth and value creation.”

Exhibit 99.1
Three months ended June 30, 2026
Americas Materials Solutions' Total revenues were 10% ahead of the second quarter of 2025, driven by positive pricing momentum and contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 12% year-over-year, reflecting disciplined cost management and contributions from acquisitions.
Americas Building Solutions' Total revenues decreased 2% compared to the second quarter of 2025 as the impact of divestitures and subdued residential demand offset strong performance in the energy and data infrastructure markets, supported by higher data center activity. Adjusted EBITDA declined 8% year-over-year, driven by divestitures, subdued residential demand and cost inflation, partly offset by strong demand in our utility infrastructure markets and performance improvement initiatives.
International Solutions' Total revenues were 5% ahead of the second quarter of 2025, as positive pricing momentum, increased activity levels in certain markets and contributions from acquisitions more than offset the impact of divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA was 8% ahead of the prior year quarter, reflecting disciplined commercial execution and operational excellence initiatives more than offsetting higher costs.

Please refer to Appendix 1 on pages 5 to 6 for detailed business segment information for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Acquisitions and Divestitures
CRH continued its proven track record of allocating capital into high-growth, connected businesses that maximize value for shareholders. In the three months ended June 30, 2026, CRH completed 11 value-accretive acquisitions for a total consideration of $1.1 billion. Americas Materials Solutions completed five acquisitions, Americas Building Solutions completed two acquisitions and International Solutions completed four acquisitions. The largest acquisition, which completed on May 29, 2026, was the acquisition of Axius Water for a total consideration of $0.7 billion. Axius Water is a leading provider of specialized water quality solutions in North America.
On June 22, 2026, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire Arcosa, Inc. (‘Arcosa’), a leading U.S. provider of infrastructure-related materials, products and solutions, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, in an all-cash transaction for $150 per share reflecting a total enterprise value of approximately $8.5 billion. Arcosa is highly complementary to CRH, advancing the Company’s connected portfolio strategy. The transaction reinforces CRH’s position as the leader in U.S. aggregates, expands our capabilities in U.S. energy infrastructure, and increases exposure to some of the fastest-growing Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S. The acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2027 subject to approval of Arcosa’s stockholders, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
In the three months ended June 30, 2026, CRH also realized proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets of $1.7 billion, net of disposal costs and deferred proceeds. These primarily comprised the divestiture of three non-core businesses: CRH's construction accessories operations for $0.7 billion, lawn and garden operations for $1.1 billion, and MoistureShield, a manufacturer of composite decking for $0.1 billion.

Other Financial Items
Depreciation, depletion and amortization charges of $548 million were $20 million higher than the prior year (Q2 2025: $528 million), primarily due to the impact of acquisitions.
Interest income of $22 million was lower than the comparable period (Q2 2025: $30 million), primarily due to lower interest rates and cash on deposit. Interest expense of $220 million was higher than the comparable period (Q2 2025: $200 million), primarily due to an increase in gross debt balances.
Income tax expense of $661 million (Q2 2025: $425 million) was higher than the prior year, mainly due to the impact of divestitures in the period.
Other nonoperating income, net, was $282 million, primarily related to gains on divestitures, compared with an expense of $9 million in Q2 2025.
Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.21 was ahead of the prior year (Q2 2025: $1.94), primarily due to strong operating performance and gains on divestitures.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Total short and long-term debt was $17.9 billion at June 30, 2026, compared with $17.7 billion at December 31, 2025.
Net Debt* at June 30, 2026, was $15.4 billion, compared to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in Net Debt* reflects acquisitions, purchases of property, plant and equipment, as well as cash returns to shareholders through share buybacks and dividends, partially offset by inflows from operating activities and proceeds from divestitures. CRH ended Q2 2026 with $3.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand (June 30, 2025: $2.9 billion).
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $4.5 billion of undrawn committed facilities available for use for general corporate purposes, which were available until May 2030. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had entered into a bridge facility agreement for $5.8 billion, the purpose of which was to finance, in part, the consideration payable in connection with the Arcosa Acquisition, the refinancing of certain of Arcosa’s existing debt and related fees and expenses. CRH remains committed to maintaining its robust balance sheet and expects to maintain a strong investment-grade credit rating.

Exhibit 99.1
Dividends and Share Buybacks
In line with its policy of consistent long-term dividend growth, on July 30, 2026, CRH announced a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share, representing a 5% increase on the prior year. The dividend will be paid on September 16, 2026, to shareholders registered at the close of business on August 14, 2026.
As part of its share buyback program, in the three months ended June 30, 2026, CRH repurchased approximately 2.5 million Ordinary Shares for a total consideration of $0.3 billion, compared to 3.7 million Ordinary Shares repurchased for a total consideration of $0.3 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2025. On July 28, 2026, the latest tranche of the share buyback program was completed, bringing the year-to-date repurchases to $0.7 billion. As announced on June 22, 2026, in connection with the agreement to acquire Arcosa, CRH has not initiated a new tranche of its share buyback program. CRH will reevaluate its share buyback program at a later date, subject to market conditions, balance sheet strength, capital allocation priorities and other factors.
2026 Full Year Outlook
We are pleased to reaffirm our 2026 Net income, Adjusted EBITDA* and Diluted EPS guidance. 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 we anticipate resilient repair and remodel activity, while the new-build segment is expected to remain subdued. Assuming normal seasonal weather patterns and absent any further major dislocations in the geopolitical 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.

Appendix 3 - Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Supplementary Information

CRH uses a number of non-GAAP financial 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 financial 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 financial 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.
Reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is presented below:

Organic Revenue and Organic Adjusted EBITDA: 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 exchange translation, and the impact of any one-off items. 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 (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 in Appendix 1.
