Company posted revenues of $10.2 billion, up 6%, net income rose 2% to $1.3 billion
NEW YORK: CRH Plc (NYSE: CRH), a leading provider of building materials solutions, on Thursday reported second-quarter 2025 financial results, citing strong underlying demand, favorable pricing, and strategic acquisitions as key drivers of growth.
The company posted total revenues of $10.2 billion, up 6% year-over-year, while net income rose 2% to $1.3 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $2.5 billion, with margins expanding 70 basis points to 24.1%. Diluted earnings per share climbed 3% to $1.94.
“Our strong second quarter performance was driven by favorable underlying demand, disciplined commercial management and further contributions from acquisitions,” said CEO Jim Mintern. “We continue to see an active pipeline of opportunities to further strengthen our market-leading positions in attractive growth markets.”
CRH invested $1 billion in 19 acquisitions year-to-date and recently agreed to acquire Eco Material Technologies for $2.1 billion, accelerating its cementitious growth strategy.
The company also completed $0.8 billion in share repurchases and announced a new $0.3 billion tranche to be completed by November 5. A quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share was declared, up 6% from the prior year.
Looking ahead, CRH raised its full-year guidance, projecting net income of $3.8 billion to $3.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 billion to $7.7 billion. The company expects continued strength across key end-use markets, supported by public infrastructure investment and resilient non-residential activity.
Mintern added, “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.”
