Uniphar flags profit growth for first half of the year
In a trading update for the first half of the year, Uniphar said its Pharma division delivered double-digit organic gross profit growth. The group operates four major Irish pharmacy chains: Life, Allcare, Hickey's and McCauley as well as major divisions that service the wholesale sector and pharmaceutical and medical technology arms here and internationally. Commenting on the first half of trade, Uniphar Group CEO Ger Rabbette said the business is confident of reaching a €200m EBITDA target by 2028, with at least 80pc of growth being organic. 'Uniphar has had a strong first half, achieving significant organic gross profit growth. We expect to continue this progress into the second half and meet our growth objectives for each of our three divisions for the full year,' he said. In terms of the outlook for the rest of the year, Uniphar said it entered the second half of this year with strong trading momentum and that declining interest rates favourably impacting finance costs will be a tailwind to current year expectations. The group said it is managing an active pipeline of acquisition opportunities. Net Bank Debt/EBITDA was 1.9x at the end of June 2025. A €35m share buyback programme was completed during the first half of the year. Shares in Uniphar rose on Tuesday, to reach £3.36 each in London, not far off its high for the year of £3.46 a share, seen in June. The shares trade in London's AIM and Dublin's Euronext and the business has a market capitalisation of just under €1bn. The unaudited half year update will be followed up with publication of interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 on September 2nd. Uniphar is among a list of home grown Irish multinational companies that Enterprise Minister Peter Burke has held meetings with in recent weeks as he looks to asses else is happening in a rage of sectors impacted by the Trump administration's tariff policy and the impact on the US economy and other markets.

CRH to buy US cement substitute provider Eco Material for $2.1bn
CRH has agreed to buy a US provider of sustainable cement alternatives to the construction market, Eco Material Technologies, for $2.1 billion (€1.8 billion) as the group advances plans to lower its carbon footprint . It marks the largest deal struck by the Irish-based building materials and services giant since late 2023. Eco Material, headquartered in Utah, has developed technologies to utilise materials like fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, to partly replace cement used in the construction sector. The company works with leading US electricity utilities to process and recycle approximately seven million tonnes of fly ash and three million tonnes of synthetic gypsum, another so-called 'supplementary cementitious material' (SCM), with significant additional capacity currently under construction, CRH said in a statement. READ MORE 'This strategic acquisition further positions CRH as a leading cementitious player in North America with both cement and SCM capabilities,' said Jim Mintern , chief executive of CRH. 'As we continue to modernise North America's infrastructure, this transaction secures the long-term supply of critical materials for future growth and puts CRH at the forefront of the transition to next generation cement and concrete. With more than 1,100 Eco Material employees joining the CRH team, our combined operations create a more connected business to better serve our customers.' The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2025. CRH plans to fund the transaction with cash on hand and does not expect any change in its credit ratings. Goodbody Stockbrokers analyst Shane Carberry said the deal helps CRH secure a long-term supply of critical materials and strengthens its position as a leading cementitious player in North America. 'Overall, we see this as a shrewd acquisition from CRH,' he said. 'Upon completion, the deal will make CRH the market leader in SCMs, significantly expanding its cementitious capacity as well as bolstering its national distribution network.'
