Appendix 1 - Disclaimer/Forward-Looking Statements

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

This press release contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. 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 press release.

In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking in nature: statements regarding CRH’s 2025 financial guidance and related assumptions and 2030 financial targets; statements regarding CRH’s growth and value creation prospects and its expected financial capacity and resulting optionality; and statements regarding advantages afforded to CRH as a result of its scale and connected portfolio.

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 our 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 press release. We expressly disclaim 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, among other factors, the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in CRH’s 2024 Form 10-K and in its other filings with the SEC.

Appendix 2 - Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Supplementary Information

CRH uses a number of non-GAAP performance measures to monitor financial performance. These measures are regularly reviewed by CRH management. These 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.

The non-GAAP performance measures as summarized below should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the equivalent 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 margin is calculated by expressing Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Please refer to CRH’s earnings release, dated August 6, 2025, for a reconciliation of the mid-point of the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to its nearest GAAP measure.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure and is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for proceeds from disposal of long-lived assets less maintenance capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Net income. Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion are useful metrics for both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations after making investments in maintaining its asset base. As is the case with the other non-GAAP measures presented, users should consider the limitations of using Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our cash flows for any period. In particular, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow conversion are not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not reflect certain cash requirements, such as debt service requirements and other contractual commitments.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Conversion are non-GAAP financial measures. We cannot predict with certainty certain items that would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin or Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, respectively, without unreasonable effort.
