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.

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.

Appendix 4 - Disclaimer/Forward-Looking Statements

In reliance upon the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, CRH is providing the following cautionary statement.

This document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business, viability and future performance of CRH and certain of the plans and objectives of CRH. 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. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts or matters of fact at the date of this document.

In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking in nature: plans and expectations regarding CRH's outlook for 2026, including market dynamics and demand among CRH's platforms; plans and expectations regarding public investment in infrastructure and continued reindustrialization activity; plans and expectations regarding pricing momentum, costs, demand, and trends in residential and non-residential markets and macroeconomic and other market trends and dynamics in key end-markets and other regions where CRH operates; expectations with respect to the impact of further potential changes to global trade policies; plans and expectations regarding acquisitions and divestitures; and statements regarding the consummation (including timing thereof) of the proposed merger (the 'Arcosa Acquisition') between CRH and Arcosa; the anticipated benefits of the Arcosa Acquisition, including expected synergies, accretion and financial impact; CRH’s expected financial performance following the completion of the Arcosa Acquisition; statements regarding the M&A pipeline and other value-accretive opportunities; statements regarding the reallocation of capital; plans and expectations regarding return of cash to shareholders, including the timing, consistency and amount of share buybacks and dividends; expectations regarding CRH's credit rating; and plans and expectations regarding CRH's 2026 full year performance, including net income, Adjusted EBITDA, diluted EPS, capital expenditures, assumed interest expense and assumed effective tax rate.

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 the Company’s current expectations and assumptions as to such future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements other than as required by applicable law.

A number of material factors could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond our control, and which include, but are not limited to: economic and financial conditions, including changes in interest rates, inflation, price volatility and/or labor and materials shortages; demand for infrastructure, residential and non-residential construction and our products in geographic markets in which we operate; increased competition and its impact on prices and market position; increases in energy, labor and/or other raw materials costs; adverse changes to laws and regulations, including in relation to climate change; the impact of unfavorable weather; investor and/or consumer sentiment regarding the importance of sustainable practices and products; availability of public sector funding for infrastructure programs; political uncertainty, including as a result of political and social conditions in the jurisdictions CRH operates in, or adverse political developments, including the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; failure to complete or successfully integrate acquisitions or make timely divestitures; cyber-attacks and exposure of associates, contractors, customers, suppliers and other individuals to health and safety risks, including due to product failures; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the agreement relating to the Arcosa Acquisition; the failure to obtain the required approval of Arcosa’s stockholders; the failure to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the Arcosa Acquisition, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals; risks that the Arcosa Acquisition disrupts CRH’s current plans and operations; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Arcosa Acquisition; the amount of costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the Arcosa Acquisition and the actual terms of the financing obtained in connection with the Arcosa Acquisition; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential litigation relating to the Arcosa Acquisition; and the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Arcosa Acquisition on CRH’s and Arcosa’s business relationships, operating results and business generally. Additional factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those expressed by the forward-looking statements in this report including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described herein and in “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC.
