What were the primary drivers of CRH's revenue growth in the first nine months of 2025?

CRH's revenue growth of 5% to $28.0 billion was driven by effective commercial execution, continued pricing progress across its segments, and contributions from acquisitions completed during the period. These factors helped offset impacts from divestitures and adverse weather conditions experienced earlier in the year in some regions.

How did CRH's acquisition strategy contribute to its financial performance?

CRH completed 22 acquisitions for a total consideration of $3.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These acquisitions, including the significant Eco Material Technologies acquisition for $2.1 billion, contributed to revenue growth and expanded the company's footprint and product offerings. The company views acquisitions as a key driver of profit growth.

What is the company's outlook for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026?

CRH expects a positive outlook for the remainder of 2025, driven by its strategy, market performance, and recent acquisitions. For 2026, the company anticipates favorable underlying demand in key end-markets, particularly from public infrastructure investment and reindustrialization. While the new residential construction segment is expected to remain subdued, repair and remodel activity is projected to be resilient.

How has CRH managed its debt and capital allocation?

Total short and long-term debt increased to $18.7 billion by September 30, 2025. Net Debt also increased to $15.0 billion, reflecting investments in acquisitions, capital expenditures, share buybacks ($0.9 billion), and dividend payments ($0.7 billion).

Summary

The company also saw an improvement in its Adjusted EBITDA margin, increasing by 90 basis points to 20.2%. CRH continued its strategic growth through acquisitions, completing 22 deals totaling $3.2 billion in the nine-month period, including the significant acquisition of Eco Material Technologies for $2.1 billion.
