Related Party Transactions [Abstract]  
Related party Related party
Pursuant to the Spin-Off, Holcim ceased to be a related party to the Company and accordingly, no related
party transactions or balances have been reported subsequent to the Separation and Distribution Date. In
connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a number of agreements with Holcim to govern the
Spin-Off and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward, including, but not
limited to the following:
Separation and Distribution Agreement - sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection
with the Spin-Off, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes
certain rights and obligations between the Company and Holcim following the Spin-Off, including
procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.
Transition Services Agreement - governs all matters relating to the provision of services between the
Company and Holcim on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives primarily include
support for information technology-related functions. The transition services generally commenced
on the date of Spin-Off and are expected to be completed over a period of one year, but no longer
than two years after the Spin-Off.
Tax Matters Agreement - governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between the
Company and Holcim with respect to all tax matters, in addition to certain restrictions which generally
prohibit the Company from taking or failing to take any action for periods of varying length, from two
years to as long as five years, following the Spin-Off that would prevent the Spin-Off from qualifying
as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on the Company’s ability to
pursue certain strategic transactions. The allocation of liabilities for payroll taxes and reporting and
other employee tax matters is covered by the Employee Matters Agreement and the allocation of
liabilities for all other taxes is covered by the Tax Matters Agreement.
The financial statement impact of these agreements was immaterial as of and for the year ended December
31, 2025.
The following discussion summarizes activity between the Company and Holcim that occurred prior to the
completion of the Spin-Off.
Related-party transactions
The Company and Holcim historically had intercompany activity, resulting in revenues and expenses for both
parties prior to the Spin-Off. Transactions between the Company and other businesses of Holcim were
considered related-party transactions. Revenues for products and services provided to Holcim by the
Company were $33 million, $75 million, and $65 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and
2023, respectively. The costs incurred by the Company related to products and services purchased from
Holcim were $69 million, $206 million, and $274 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and
2023, respectively, and are contained within Cost of revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company also generated revenues from its equity method investees of $15 million, $15 million, and $15
million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Certain related-party transactions between the Company and Holcim have been included in these
consolidated financial statements prior to the Spin-Off. Trade receivables and payables, as well as non-trade
receivables and payables, between the Company and Holcim are cash settled and are presented within
Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets. These amounts were
previously presented as Due from related-party and Due to related-party, respectively. The net effect of the
settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected within Cash flows from operating activities on the
consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2024, trade receivables from Holcim were $21
million, non-trade receivables from Holcim were $37 million, trade payables due to Holcim were $8 million and
non-trade payables due to Holcim were $3 million.
Allocation of corporate expenses
The consolidated statements of operations include expense allocations for certain corporate, infrastructure
and other shared services that were provided by Holcim on a centralized basis, including but not limited to
accounting and financial reporting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources, information technology, insurance,
employee benefits and other shared services that are either specifically identifiable or directly attributable to
the Company, prior to the Spin-Off. These expenses had been allocated to the Company on the basis of
direct usage when specifically identifiable, with the remainder predominantly allocated on a pro rata basis
using revenues. The Company’s management considers this allocation to be a reasonable reflection of the
utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented prior to
the Spin-Off. However, these expense allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would
have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company during the periods presented, and they
may not reflect what the Company’s results of operations may be in the future.
All such amounts have been deemed to have been incurred and settled by the Company in the period in
which the costs were recorded and are included within Net parent investment on the consolidated balance
sheets prior to the Spin-Off.
Allocations for management costs and corporate support services provided to the Company prior to the Spin-
Off were as follows:

Cash management and financing
Prior to the Spin-Off, a majority of the Company’s subsidiaries participated in Holcim’s centralized cash
management and financing function. While the Company maintained bank accounts in the name of its
respective legal entities in order to conduct day-to-day business, cash was managed centrally as part of the
overall treasury function and Holcim oversaw a cash pooling program whereby cash was swept from any
subsidiary accounts, including the Company’s accounts, on a daily basis. This mechanism optimized cash
management and was used to ensure all of Holcim’s businesses had the working capital needed to run their
day-to-day activities.
Depending on the Company’s contributions and withdrawals to and from the cash pool, it was either in a net
lending or borrowing position. No maturity dates nor payment schedules were outlined in the agreements
governing the cash pooling program and there was no periodic cash settlement as part of the cash pooling
program. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding receivables related to amounts provided
to Holcim’s centralized cash management and financing function of $532 million, which is included in Related-
party notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. The balance was settled prior to the Spin-Off. For
the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid interest expense of less than
$1 million, $1 million and $9 million, respectively, on borrowings from Holcim’s centralized cash management
and financing function. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company received
interest income of $12 million, $15 million, $4 million, respectively, on amounts contributed to the cash pooling
program.
Related-party notes payable
The Company had short-term and long-term borrowing arrangements with Holcim prior to the Spin-Off.
These borrowings have been included in both current and noncurrent liabilities within Related-party notes
payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
The borrowing arrangements with Holcim were primarily for working capital needs and for financing certain
acquisitions and had an aggregate principal balance of $7,645 million and $7,647 million as of June 22, 2025
and December 31, 2024, respectively. Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company settled $5,646 million of related-
party notes payable, with the remaining $1,999 million contributed by Holcim to the Company as equity. The
Company recognized interest expense from related-party notes payable of $183 million, $454 million and
$460 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,
interest payable to Holcim was $78 million related to related-party notes payable.
Net parent investment
As a result of the Spin-Off, Net parent investment in the consolidated balance sheets was fully settled on the
Separation and Distribution Date.
Prior to the Spin-Off, Net parent investment in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements
of equity represented Holcim’s historical investment in the Company, the net effect of transactions with
Holcim and allocations from Holcim, and the Company’s accumulated earnings. Net transfers to Holcim are
included within Net parent investment. During the year ended December 31, 2025, certain Spin-Off-related
adjustments were recorded to reflect transfers from Holcim and settlement of Spin-Off transactions with
Holcim, which resulted in a net increase to total equity of $2,027 million. These items substantially consisted
of the completion of the bond exchange as described in Note 10 (Debt) and the settlement of intercompany
debt as described above. The components of Net transfers to Holcim on the consolidated statements of cash
flows and the reconciliation to the corresponding amounts presented within the consolidated statements of
equity, which includes certain non-cash elements, were as follows:
