Exhibit 99.1
Three months ended March 31, 2026
Americas Materials Solutions' Total revenues were 21% ahead of the first quarter of 2025, driven by strong underlying demand and contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 75% year-over-year, reflecting good commercial execution, disciplined cost management and contributions from acquisitions.
Americas Building Solutions' Total revenues were 1% behind the first quarter of 2025, driven by subdued new-build residential demand and adverse weather conditions, partly offset by contributions from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was in line with the prior year, supported by strong cost control, performance improvement initiatives and contributions from acquisitions.
International Solutions' Total revenues were 5% ahead of the first quarter of 2025, as contributions from acquisitions, positive pricing momentum, and currency tailwinds more than offset weather-impacted volumes and the impact of divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA was 32% ahead of the prior year, driven by operational efficiencies and portfolio optimization.
Please refer to Appendix 1 on pages 5 to 6 for detailed business segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
CRH has a proven track record of allocating capital into high-growth connected opportunities that maximize value for shareholders. In the first quarter of 2026, CRH completed five value-accretive acquisitions for total consideration of $0.1 billion, compared with $0.6 billion in the same period of 2025. A further three acquisitions were completed in April for total consideration of $0.1 billion. Cash proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets were $34 million, compared with $107 million in the first quarter of 2025.
The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire Axius Water, a leading provider of specialized water quality solutions in North America, for a consideration of $0.7 billion, with the transaction expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. This acquisition is expected to strengthen CRH’s position as a leading water infrastructure player in the United States.
CRH has also agreed to divest of three non-core businesses: its construction accessories operations for a consideration of $0.7 billion, its lawn and garden operations for a consideration of $1.1 billion, and MoistureShield, a manufacturer of composite decking for a consideration of $0.1 billion. The MoistureShield transaction closed on April 6, while the construction accessories and lawn and garden transactions are expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Other Financial Items
Depreciation, depletion and amortization charges of $0.6 billion were $0.1 billion higher than the prior year (Q1 2025: $0.5 billion), primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and higher growth capital expenditure.
Loss on impairments was $48 million (Q1 2025: $nil million), related to the agreed divestiture of the construction accessories operations.
Interest income of $21 million was lower than the comparable period (Q1 2025: $37 million), primarily due to lower interest rates and principal on deposit. Interest expense of $203 million was higher than the comparable period (Q1 2025: $181 million), primarily due to an increase in gross debt balances.
Income tax benefit of $55 million (Q1 2025: $58 million) was lower than the prior year.
Other nonoperating expense, net, was $4 million, a decrease from the comparable period (Q1 2025: $20 million), primarily due to the non‑recurrence of the prior year loss on divestitures.
Diluted Loss Per Share of ($0.27) was behind the prior year (Q1 2025: ($0.15)), primarily due to higher depreciation and impairment charges as well as higher interest expense, net. Diluted Loss Per Share pre-impairment* of ($0.20) was lower than the prior year (Q1 2025: ($0.15)).
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Total short and long-term debt was $18.5 billion at March 31, 2026, compared with $17.7 billion at December 31, 2025.
Net Debt* at March 31, 2026, was $15.8 billion, compared to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in Net Debt* is driven by the seasonal net cash outflow from operating activities, as well as acquisitions, cash returns to shareholders through continued share buybacks and the purchase of property, plant and equipment in the quarter. CRH ended Q1 2026 with $3.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand (Q1 2025: $3.4 billion) as well as $4.5 billion of undrawn committed facilities available until May 2030. CRH remains committed to maintaining its robust balance sheet and expects to maintain a strong investment-grade credit rating.

Dividends and Share Buybacks
In line with its policy of consistent long-term dividend growth, on April 30, 2026, CRH announced a quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share, representing a 5% increase on the prior year. The dividend will be paid on June 17, 2026, to shareholders registered at the close of business on May 15, 2026.
CRH continued its ongoing share buyback program in the first three months of 2026 repurchasing approximately 2.9 million Ordinary Shares for total consideration of $0.3 billion, compared to 3.2 million Ordinary Shares repurchased for total consideration of $0.3 billion in the first three months of 2025. The Company is pleased to announce that it is commencing an additional $0.3 billion tranche to be completed no later than July 28, 2026.
2026 Full Year Outlook
We are reaffirming our financial guidance reflecting a strong start to the year as well as the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions agreed in the year to date. We continue to expect favorable underlying demand across our key end-markets, underpinned by significant public investment in infrastructure and continued reindustrialization activity. Within the residential sector we anticipate resilient repair and remodel activity while the new-build segment is expected to remain subdued. Assuming normal seasonal weather patterns and absent any further major dislocations in the geopolitical or macroeconomic environment, CRH's superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading positions of scale in attractive high-growth markets, together with our strong and flexible balance sheet, are expected to underpin another year of growth and value creation in 2026.

Appendix 3 - Non-GAAP Reconciliation and Supplementary Information
CRH uses a number of non-GAAP financial 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 financial 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 financial measures as summarized below should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the most directly comparable 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 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.
Reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is presented below:

Net Debt: Net Debt is used by management as it gives additional insight into the Company’s current debt position less available cash. Net Debt is provided to enable investors to see the economic effect of gross debt, related hedges and cash and cash equivalents in total. Net Debt comprises short and long-term debt, finance lease liabilities, cash and cash equivalents and current and noncurrent derivative financial instruments (net).

(i) Cash and cash equivalents and Finance lease liabilities as of March 31, 2026, include $53 million and $26 million, respectively, that have been reclassified as held for sale.
Organic Revenue and Organic Adjusted EBITDA: Because of the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, currency exchange translation and other non-recurring items on reported results each reporting period, CRH uses organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA as additional performance indicators to assess performance of pre-existing (also referred to as underlying, like-for-like or ongoing) operations each reporting period.
Organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are arrived at by excluding the incremental revenue and Adjusted EBITDA contributions from current and prior year acquisitions and divestitures, the impact of exchange translation, and the impact of any one-off items. Changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are presented as additional measures of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to provide a greater understanding of the performance of the Company. Organic change % is calculated by expressing the organic movement as a percentage of the prior year (adjusted for currency exchange effects). A reconciliation of the changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA to the changes in Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, is presented in Appendix 1.
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 Net income (loss) adjusted for (i) Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (ii) Net (income) loss 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.
