Favorable underlying demand, positive pricing momentum and contributions from acquisitions fueled the third quarter at CRH, whose companywide revenues were up 5 percent year over year to $11.1 billion.
CRH achieved net income of $1.5 billion, which was 9 percent ahead of the prior-year period. The company says the gain reflects a strong underlying operating performance.
Additionally, CRH’s adjusted third-quarter EBITDA of $2.7 billion was up 10 percent, driven by continued pricing momentum, contributions from acquisitions and operational efficiencies. CRH’s net income margin of 13.7 percent was also ahead of last year’s third quarter, as was its adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.3 percent.
“Our superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading performance continue to deliver higher sales, profits and margins,” says Jim Mintern, CEO of CRH.
According to Mintern, CRH has completed 27 acquisitions this year – including the acquisition of Eco Material Technologies.
“[We] continue to see an active pipeline of value-accretive opportunities supported by infrastructure megatrends across our key growth platforms,” he says. “Looking ahead to 2026, we expect favorable market dynamics and the continued execution of our strategy to underpin another year of growth and shareholder value creation.”
Within the CRH Americas Materials Solutions business, total revenues were 6 percent ahead of last year’s third quarter. Favorable underlying activity levels, sustained pricing momentum and contributions from acquisitions supported revenue growth in the business.
Adjusted EBITDA in Americas Materials Solutions, meanwhile, rose 5 percent year over year, the company says.
