The Company also reported $570 million in losses on its Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program due in part to providing 'additional mission capabilities, enhanced logistical support, fleet life extension, and revised expectations regarding flight hours.' The Company further reported a $95 million charge related to its Turkish Utility Helicopter Program due to the 'current status of the program.' The Company stated it is in 'ongoing discussion' with its customers regarding a potential 'restructure' of certain contractual terms and conditions.

Expand Q2 2025 Results Performance Overview Total revenues of $10.2 billion (Q2 2024: $9.7 billion) increased by 6% driven by the positive impact of acquisitions and disciplined commercial execution, which offset lower activity levels in weather-impacted regions. Net income of $1.3 billion (Q2 2024: $1.3 billion) was 2% ahead of the prior year. This growth reflects a strong underlying operating performance, which more than offset higher depreciation and interest expenses, as well as reduced gains from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets during the period. Adjusted EBITDA* of $2.5 billion (Q2 2024: $2.3 billion) increased by 9% as a result of the continued delivery of CRH's connected strategy, positive pricing, good contributions from acquisitions and further operational efficiencies.

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) for Q2 2025 was $1.94 (Q2 2024: $1.88). Americas Materials Solutions' total revenues were 2% ahead of Q2 2024, driven by continued positive pricing and contributions from acquisitions, which offset weather-related activity challenges. Adjusted EBITDA was 4% ahead of the prior year period, supported by contributions from acquisitions, underlying commercial progress and ongoing cost management while the prior year benefited from higher gains on disposal of long-lived assets. total revenues were 2% ahead of Q2 2024, driven by continued positive pricing and contributions from acquisitions, which offset weather-related activity challenges.

Acquisitions and Divestitures In the three months ended June 30, 2025, CRH completed five acquisitions for a total consideration of $0.1 billion, compared with $0.4 billion in the same period of 2024. Americas Materials Solutions completed two acquisitions, while International Solutions completed three acquisitions. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, CRH completed 13 acquisitions for a total consideration of $0.7 billion, compared with $2.6 billion in the first half of the prior year. As announced on July 29, 2025, CRH has reached an agreement to acquire Eco Material Technologies (Eco Material), a leading supplier of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) in North America, for a total consideration of $2.1 billion. The proposed acquisition puts CRH at the forefront of the transition to next generation cement and concrete and secures the long-term supply of high-value critical materials to unlock strong future growth opportunities. Eco Material is headquartered in Utah and operates a national network of fresh and harvested fly ash, pozzolans, synthetic gypsum and green cement operations distributed across a network of over 125 utility source locations, production facilities and terminals. The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2025. With respect to divestitures, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets were $31 million, compared with $0.4 billion in the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, CRH realized cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets of $0.1 billion, compared with $1.1 billion in the same period of the prior year. Dividends and Share Buybacks In line with the Company's policy of consistent long-term dividend growth, the Board has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share. This represents an increase of 6% on the prior year. As part of its ongoing share buyback program, CRH repurchased approximately 3.7 million Ordinary Shares in Q2 2025 for a total consideration of $0.3 billion. On August 5, 2025, the latest tranche of the share buyback program was completed, bringing the year-to-date repurchases to $0.8 billion. The Company is pleased to announce that it is commencing an additional $0.3 billion tranche to be completed no later than November 5, 2025. 2025 Full Year Outlook The outlook for our business remains positive and we raise our financial guidance for 2025. We continue to expect favorable underlying demand across our key end-use markets in 2025, underpinned by significant public investment in critical infrastructure and continued re-industrialization activity in key non-residential segments. 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 proven strategy and leading positions of scale in attractive higher-growth markets, together with our strong and flexible balance sheet, are expected to underpin another year of growth and value creation in 2025. 2025 Guidance (i) Updated Guidance Previous Guidance (in $ billions, except per share data) Low High Low High Net income (ii) 3.8 3.9 3.7 4.1 Adjusted EBITDA* 7.5 7.7 7.3 7.7 Diluted EPS (ii) $5.49 $5.72 $5.34 $5.80 Capital expenditure 2.8 3.0 2.8 3.0 (i) The 2025 guidance does not assume any significant one-off or non-recurring items, including the impact of further potential changes to global trade policies, impairments or other unforeseen events.

Interest expense of $200 million was higher than the comparable period (Q2 2024: $155 million), primarily due to an increase in gross debt balances. Other nonoperating (expense) income, net was ($9) million (Q2 2024: $23 million income) reflective of a loss on divestitures made during the period. Diluted EPS rose to $1.94 (Q2 2024: $1.88), supported by a strong operating performance and the ongoing share buyback program.

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 equivalent 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.

Expand 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 currency 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.
