Description: CRH CRH September 26, 2025
CRH plc, headquartered in Dublin, operates a diversified building-materials business across Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, the rest of Europe, and other international markets. The firm is organized into three reporting segments-Americas Materials Solutions, Americas Building Solutions, and International Solutions-each delivering aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, mortars, asphalt, and a broad suite of value-added construction products.
The company’s portfolio spans precast and prestressed concrete elements (floor and wall panels, beams, vaults, pipes, and manholes), polymer-based underground vaults and drainage systems, as well as engineered steel and polymer anchoring solutions. Complementary offerings include crushed stone, sand, gravel, hardscape products (pavers, blocks, curbs), fencing, railing systems, composite decking, and packaged concrete mixes for residential, commercial, infrastructure, and outdoor-living projects.
Key recent performance metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of approximately €30.5 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~12 %, and a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.1×. The firm paid a dividend yielding about 4.3 % and returned €1.4 billion to shareholders via buy-backs and payouts, reflecting a capital-allocation policy that prioritizes cash generation.
CRH’s earnings are most sensitive to three macro drivers: (1) U.S. housing-starts and public-infrastructure spending, which together account for roughly 45 % of consolidated revenue; (2) European inflation and energy-price volatility that affect cement and steel input costs; and (3) the sector-wide transition toward low-carbon building materials, where CRH is investing in alternative cements and recycled-aggregate solutions to meet tightening EU emissions standards.
