Ireland: CRH reported second quarter 2025 sales of US$10.2bn, up by 6% from US$9.7bn in 2024, driven by acquisitions and commercial execution despite slowdowns due to inclement weather. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 9% year-on-year to US$2.5bn. Net income grew by 2% year-on-year to US$1.3bn.
CEO Jim Mintern said “Our strong second quarter performance was driven by favourable underlying demand, disciplined commercial management and further contributions from acquisitions. CRH's proven strategy continued to drive higher sales and profits, while our robust balance sheet and financial capacity enabled us to allocate approximately US$3bn to growth investments and capital returns year-to-date. We completed 19 acquisitions year-to-date and continue to see an active pipeline of opportunities to further strengthen our market-leading positions in attractive growth markets. Underlying demand in our key end-use markets remains positive and we are pleased to raise our guidance for 2025.”
