Key Takeaways
Appendix: Endnotes Slide 3 1. ‘Double-digit earnings growth’ refers to CRH’s compound annualized growth rate of Adjusted EBITDA for the period from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2024. Metrics from the financial year ended December 31, 2014 are based on IFRS. 2014 EBITDA (as defined) has been modified to exclude contributions from subsequently divested businesses. The adjustments required to reflect these metrics under U.S. GAAP have not been quantified. No material differences have been identified that would impact trends calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP in comparison to IFRS. For source data of this 2014 metric, please refer to the Appendix of the main September 2025 Investor Day presentation. Metrics from the financial year ended December 31, 2024 are based on U.S. GAAP as reported in our 2024 Form 10-K. Slide 15 1. Management estimates derived from operating company-level financial information comparing results from our U.S. cement operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, which was based on U.S. GAAP financial reporting, with the pre-acquisition results prepared in accordance with the acquiree’s accounting policies for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
