Acquisition Update
CRH’s acquisition strategy and proven growth capabilities, combined with its unmatched scale and connected portfolio of businesses, provides significant optionality for further growth and value creation. We completed 38 value-accretive acquisitions in 2025 for a total consideration of $4.1 billion, enabling us to strengthen our market leading positions, further develop our connected portfolio and increase our exposure to growing infrastructure megatrends. The largest acquisition in 2025 was in our Americas Materials Solutions segment where we completed the acquisition of Eco Material Technologies (Eco Material), North America’s leading supplier of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), for a total consideration of $2.1 billion. The Eco Material transaction strategically positions CRH to meet growing demand for SCMs to modernize North America's infrastructure.
Other Financial Items
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2025, of $2.2 billion were $0.2 billion higher than the prior year (2024: $2.0 billion), primarily due to acquisitions and higher growth capital expenditure.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025, of $146 million was higher than the comparable prior period (2024: $143 million). Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, of $810 million was higher than the prior year (2024: $612 million), primarily due to an increase in gross debt balances.
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, of $1.0 billion (2024: $1.1 billion) reduced in the period, reflecting a lower effective tax rate compared to the prior year.
Other nonoperating income, net, was $29 million, a decrease from the prior year period (2024: $258 million) which benefited from a non-recurring gain on divestitures.
Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $5.51 was 10% higher than the prior year (2024: $5.02), supported by strong operating performance and the ongoing share buyback program. Diluted EPS pre-impairment*2of $5.57 was 3% higher than the prior year (2024: $5.43), impacted by the non-recurrence of gains on divestitures.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
2025 marked another year of strong cash generation for CRH, with net cash provided by operating activities of $5.6 billion, $0.6 billion ahead of the prior year (2024: $5.0 billion) and Adjusted Free Cash Flow* of $5.0 billion, $0.8 billion ahead of the prior year (2024: $4.2 billion), driven by higher income from operations and improved working capital management.
Total short and long-term debt was $17.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, compared with $14.0 billion in 2024.
Net Debt* as of December 31, 2025, was $14.2 billion, compared with $10.5 billion in 2024, primarily reflecting continued acquisition and growth investment activity and cash returns to shareholders, partially offset by inflows from operating activities. CRH ended 2025 with $4.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (2024: $3.8 billion) as well as $4.3 billion of undrawn committed facilities, $4.1 billion of which are available until May 2030. CRH remains committed to maintaining its robust balance sheet and expects to maintain a strong investment-grade credit rating.
Dividends
In line with its policy of consistent long-term dividend growth, on February 18, 2026, CRH declared a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share, representing a 5% increase on the prior year. The dividend will be paid on April 8, 2026, to shareholders registered on March 6, 2026.
Review of LSE Ordinary Share Listing and Preference Share Capital Structure
CRH is undertaking a review of its London Stock Exchange (LSE) listed ordinary shares as well as its preference share capital structure. The preference shares, comprising 7% preference shares listed on the LSE and 5% preference shares listed on Euronext Growth Dublin (EGD), have a total par value of approximately $1.4 million (referred to as preferred stock in the Consolidated Balance Sheets). The outcome of the review may result in the delisting from the LSE of CRH’s ordinary shares and 7% preference shares. Separately, subject to shareholder approval, the outcome of the review may result in the cancellation of both classes of preference shares, as well as the delisting of the 5% preference shares from EGD. CRH’s primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange is not within the scope of the review. It is anticipated this review will be completed during Q1 2026 and an update to shareholders will be provided during this time.
2026 Full Year Outlook
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 expect resilient repair and remodel activity while the new-build segment is expected to remain subdued. 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.

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.

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 year, 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 year.
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.
Diluted EPS pre‑impairment: Diluted EPS pre‑impairment is a measure of the Company's profitability per share from continuing operations excluding any Loss on impairments (which is non-cash) and the related tax impact of such impairments. It is used by management to evaluate the Company's underlying profit performance and its own past performance. Diluted EPS information presented on a pre‑impairment basis is useful to investors as it provides an insight into the Company's underlying performance and profitability. Diluted EPS pre‑impairment is calculated as Net income adjusted for (i) Net (income) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (ii) Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (iii) adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value and excluding any Loss on impairments (and the related tax impact of such impairments) divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure and is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for Proceeds from disposal of long-lived assets less Maintenance capital expenditure. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Net income.
Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion are useful metrics for both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations after making investments in maintaining its asset base. As is the case with the other non-GAAP measures presented, users should consider the limitations of using Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our cash flows for any period. In particular, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion are not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements and other contractual commitments.

This press release contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “anticipates”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “targets”, “aims”, “may”, “continues”, “expects”, “is expected to”, “estimates”, “believes”, “intends” or similar expressions.

In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking in nature: plans and expectations regarding return of cash to shareholders, including the timing, consistency, amount and growth of dividends.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and reflect our current expectations and assumptions as to such future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate.
