(Alliance News) - CRH PLC on Thursday reaffirmed financial 2025 net income guidance and raises its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation guidance midpoint.
The Dublin-based building materials company said total revenue rose to USD11.07 billion in the third quarter of 2025, from USD10.52 billion a year prior. Net income grew to USD1.52 billion from USD1.39 billion, while basic earnings per share attributable to CRH increased to USD2.23 from USD1.99.
CRH declared a quarterly dividend of 37 US cents per share, the same as in the second quarter, and up 5.7% from 35c a year ago.
CRH now sees adjusted Ebitda between USD7.6 billion and USD7.7 billion in 2025, up from previous guidance of between USD7.5 billion and USD7.7 billion. In the third quarter, adjusted Ebitda jumped 10% to USD2.7 billion.
For 2026, the outlook is positive across key-end markets and underpinned by an "unmatched scale and connected portfolio" the firm said.
"CRH delivered a strong third quarter performance driven by favourable underlying demand, positive pricing momentum and further contributions from acquisitions. We are pleased to reaffirm net income and raise our adjusted Ebitda guidance for 2025, representing another record year for CRH. Our superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading performance continues to deliver higher sales, profits and margins," said Chief Executive Officer Jim Mintern.
He added: "We have completed 27 acquisitions year-to-date, including the acquisition of Eco Material Technologies, and continue to see an active pipeline of value-accretive opportunities supported by infrastructure megatrends across our key growth platforms.
"Looking ahead to 2026, we expect favourable market dynamics and the continued execution of our strategy to underpin another year of growth and shareholder value creation."
CRH shares fell 3.4% to 8,628.00 pence each on Thursday morning in London. In New York, they were down 2.5% in pre-market trading at USD112.82.
