Year ended December 31, 2024
Introduction
This Report on Payments to Governments for Extractive Activities (the ‘Report’) has been prepared in line with the EU Accounting (2013/34/EU) Directive as amended and as transposed into Irish Law and the disclosure and transparency rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. It has been prepared on a consolidated basis and includes relevant payments made by subsidiary undertakings of CRH plc (‘CRH’).
The Report is available on the CRH website at www.crh.com and has been filed with the Irish Companies Registration Office and the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis/Scope
The Report covers the period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and relates to payments to governments for extractive activities as defined in the above referenced legislation. For subsidiary undertakings that were acquired by CRH during the reporting year, only payments made in relation to post-acquisition extractive activities are included. Equity method investments, including joint ventures and associated undertakings, are excluded from the scope of the Report.
Payments made by each of CRH’s subsidiary undertakings are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Payments made in non-U.S. Dollar currencies have been translated into U.S. Dollars using the average exchange rates for the relevant year. A monetary value was assigned to any in-kind payments at a fair market value at the time of payment.
As set out in the relevant legislation, a materiality threshold for disclosure of $100,000 (€100,000/£86,000) was applied to payments or a series of related payments.
Where a single payment relates to both extractive and non-extractive activities, a ratio has been applied to enable the reporting of the portion of the payment related to extractive activities only within the Report.
Certain taxes including consumption taxes such as value-added-tax, personal income taxes and sales taxes are excluded from the scope of the legislation. Similarly, any charitable donations are excluded.

Extractive Activities
Extractive activities are defined as activities involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals or other materials. For CRH, the relevant extractive categories as defined within the relevant legislation include:
Quarrying of stone, sand and clay;
Quarrying of ornamental and building stone, limestone, gypsum, chalk and slate;
Operation of gravel and sand pits; mining of clays and kaolin; and
Other mining and quarrying not elsewhere classified.

Government
The term ‘government’ includes payments for extractive industries made to any national, federal, regional, state, province, county, district, municipal, local or equivalent authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is state-owned or is a subsidiary of a government.

Projects
A ‘project’ is defined as the operational activities governed by a single contract, license, lease or similar legal agreement. Where a series of such agreements are substantially interconnected, they should be treated as a single project for the purpose of establishing reporting requirements.

Payments
Payment categories and a description of each category is provided as follows:
Taxes: This category includes taxes paid to governments on income, profits or production related to extraction activities as defined. Payments are reported net of refunds. Consumption taxes and personal income taxes are excluded.
Royalties: This category includes payments to a government for the rights to extract minerals or other materials, typically at a set percentage of revenue less any deductions that may be taken.
License fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licenses and/or concessions: This category includes license fees, surface or rental fees, and other consideration for licenses and/or concessions paid to a government for access to the area where extractive operations are conducted.
Infrastructure improvements: This category includes payments to a government for local development, including the improvement of infrastructure, not directly necessary for the conduct of extractive operations but mandatory pursuant to the terms of a production sharing contract or to the terms of a law relating to the CRH subsidiary undertaking’s activities.
Production entitlements: This category includes the host government’s share of production which is usually outlined in a production sharing agreement. It does not include the working interest production share of government-owned companies where said companies are acting as partners in a joint venture. For the financial year to which the Report relates, CRH did not make relevant payments in this category.
Dividends: This category includes dividend payments other than dividends paid to a government as an ordinary shareholder of CRH or one of its subsidiary undertakings unless paid in lieu of production entitlements or royalties. For the financial year to which the Report relates, CRH did not make relevant payments in this category.
Bonuses: This category includes bonuses paid to a government for and in consideration of signature, discovery, production, awards, grants and transfers of extraction rights. This also includes bonuses related to achievement or failure to achieve certain production levels or certain targets, and discovery of additional mineral reserves/deposits. For the financial year to which the Report relates, CRH did not make relevant payments in this category.
