Non-GAAP Reconciliations CRH uses a number of non-GAAP performance measures to monitor financial performance. These measures are referred to throughout the discussion of our reported financial position and operating performance on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise defined and are measures which are regularly reviewed by CRH management. These performance 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. Certain information presented is derived from amounts calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is not itself an expressly permitted GAAP measure. 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 unrealized gain/loss on 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 by segment is monitored by management in order to allocate resources between segments and to assess performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by expressing Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. Net interest is calculated as a sum of Interest expense and Interest income. Net interest cover is calculated by expressing Adjusted EBITDA as a ratio of net interest. Net interest cover is used by management as a measure which matches the earnings and cash generated by the business to the underlying funding costs. Net interest cover is presented to provide investors with a greater understanding of the impact of CRH’s debt and financing arrangements. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is presented below: in $ millions FY2024 Net income 3,521 Loss from equity method investments (i) 108 Income tax expense 1,085 Gain on divestitures and on investments (ii) (250) Pension income excluding current service cost component (ii) (7) Other interest, net (ii) (1) Interest expense 612 Interest income (143) Depreciation, depletion and amortization 1,798 Loss on impairments (i) 161 Substantial acquisition-related costs (iii) 46 Adjusted EBITDA 6,930 Total revenues 35,572 Net income margin 9.9% Adjusted EBITDA margin 19.5% Interest expense 612 Interest income (143) Net interest 469 Net income divided by net interest 7.5x Net interest cover (Adjusted EBITDA divided by net interest) 14.8x (i) For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total impairment loss comprised $0.35 billion, principally related to the Architectural Products reporting unit within International Solutions and the equity method investment in China.

(iii) Represents expenses associated with non-routine substantial acquisitions, which meet the criteria for being separately reported in Note 4 “Acquisitions” in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Investor Day 2025 49 Supplementary Data” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Expenses in 2024 primarily include legal and consulting expenses related to these non-routine substantial acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations Diluted EPS pre-impairment: Diluted EPS pre-impairment is a measure of the Company's profitability per share from continuing operations excluding any loss on impairments (which is non-cash) and the related tax impact of such impairments. It is used by management to evaluate the Company's underlying profit performance and its own past performance. Diluted EPS information presented on a pre-impairment basis is useful to investors as it provides an insight into the Company's underlying performance and profitability. Diluted EPS pre- impairment is calculated as income from continuing operations adjusted for (i) net (income) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (ii) net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests (iii) adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value and excluding any loss on impairments (and the related tax impact of such impairments) divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations 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. Reconciliation to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below: FY 2024 FY 2014 FY 2014 in millions $ € (ii) $ (iii) Net cash provided by operating activities 4,989 1,237 1,644 Proceeds from disposal of long-lived assets 272 121 161 Maintenance capital expenditure (i) (1,036) (261) (347) Adjusted Free Cash Flow 4,225 1,097 1,458 10-year CAGR 11% (i) Maintenance capital expenditure refers to capital expenditure that is routine, essential, and part of day-to-day operations, focusing on preserving the value, functionality, and profitability of existing assets. Maintenance capital expenditure does not include growth capital expenditure, which is intended to increase profitability by expanding capacity, improving efficiency or fulfilling strategic objectives.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (Adj. ROIC): Adjusted ROIC is an after-tax measure of operating performance and can be used by management and investors to assess how efficiently we use capital to generate operating income. The metric measures management’s ability to generate after-tax adjusted operating income from the capital invested in the business, focusing on both after-tax operating income maximization and the maintenance of an efficient asset base. It is meaningful in order to evaluate fixed asset maintenance programs, decision-making with respect to expenditures on property, plant and equipment and timeliness of disposal of surplus assets. It also supports the evaluation of management of the Company’s working capital base. Adjusted ROIC is calculated by expressing Adjusted Net Operating Profit After Tax (Adjusted NOPAT) being net operating income after tax from continuing operations and net operating income after tax from discontinued operations adjusted for certain items affecting comparability because they are of a non-recurring or extraordinary nature as a percentage of the average of current year and prior year invested capital. The items affecting comparability because they are of a non-recurring or extraordinary nature for the periods presented below are loss on impairments and substantial acquisition-related costs. Invested capital comprises total equity, redeemable noncontrolling interest, short and long-term debt, finance leases and derivatives and excludes cash and cash equivalents, and equity method investments as disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K. The average invested capital for the year is the simple average of the opening and closing balance sheet figures.
