| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $37.4B | +9.0% | +46.2% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $3.7B | +7.9% | +925.6% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +36.1% | +1.2% | +43.6% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +14.2% | -0.8% | +3841.5% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +10.0% | -1.0% | +664.6% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $2.9B | +22.8% | +140.3% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +7.8% | +12.7% | +127.5% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 82.1% | +15.9% | -4.2% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.74x | +27.4% | -0.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $58.3B | +19.3% | +0.7% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 5.51 vs 5.58 | -1.3% | 2.21 vs 2.02 | +9.5% |

Krista : Good day, and welcome to the CRH Second Quarter 2026 Results Presentation. My name is Krista, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Jim Mintern, CRH Chief Executive Officer, to begin the conference. Please go ahead, sir. Jim Mintern : Hello, everyone. Jim Mintern here, CEO of CRH, and you're all very welcome to our Q2 2026 results presentation and conference call. Joining me on the call is Aylwyn Bryan, our CFO; Randy Lake, our COO; and Danilo Juvane, Head of Investor Relations. Before we get started, I'll hand over to Danilo for some brief opening remarks. Danilo Juvane : Thanks, Jim, and hello, everyone. I'd like to draw your attention to Slide 2 shown here on the screen. During our presentation, we will be making some forward-looking statements relating to our future plans and expectations. These are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes could differ materially due to factors outlined on this slide. For more details, please refer to our annual report and other SEC filings, which are available on our website. I'll now hand it back to you, Jim. Jim Mintern : Over the next 20 minutes or so, we will take you through a brief presentation of our results for the second quarter of the year, highlighting the key components of our operating performance, our recent capital allocation activities as well as providing you with an update on our expectations for the year. We will also outline how we are strategically positioning our business to deliver further growth and value creation for our shareholders. First, on Slide 4, let me take you through some key messages from our results. We are pleased to report a record second quarter with further growth in revenues, adjusted EBITDA and margin compared to the prior year period, reflecting favorable underlying demand, disciplined commercial execution and contributions from acquisitions. All of this is underpinned by the benefits of our superior strategy and the continued execution of our winning way. We remain focused on active portfolio management and the disciplined allocation of capital as we continue to build a higher growth connected portfolio to maximize shareholder value. In the year-to-date, we completed 3 strategic divestitures of noncore businesses for a total consideration of $1.9 billion and invested $1.4 billion in 17 value-accretive acquisitions across our 4 strategic growth platforms of aggregates, cementitious, roads and water. We also recently announced an agreement to acquire Arcosa, a leading provider of building materials and critical infrastructure products in the United States. This is a significant investment, which will reinforce CRH as the leading aggregates and critical infrastructure player in North America, and I will take you through that in further detail later in the presentation. Turning to outlook. We are encouraged by the underlying demand environment across our …

NEW YORK & NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) are investigating the proposed sale of Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: ACA) to CRH (NYSE: CRH). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Arcosa will receive $150.00 in cash for each share of Arcosa that they own. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the con.
CRH's $8.5 billion Arcosa deal could expand U.S. aggregates and energy infrastructure exposure, but financing and integration risks loom.
CRH's earnings beat, infrastructure exposure and discounted valuation support the case, but housing weakness, costs and deal demands favor patience.
CRH expands its Utah footprint with Pisgah Stone Products, adding long-life limestone reserves to support aggregates growth in a high-demand market.
