Filed Feb 18, 2026 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Another record year: revenue rose 5% to $37.4 billion, operating income rose 10% to $5.4 billion and net income rose to $3.8 billion.
- The company spent $4.1 billion on 38 acquisitions, the largest being the $2.1 billion purchase of Eco Material, a North American supplier of cement substitutes.
- Net debt rose again, from $10.5 billion to $14.2 billion, and interest expense climbed 32% to $810 million. Return on invested capital slipped to 12.1%.
- Management expects another year of growth in 2026, driven by infrastructure and factory building, while new-home building stays weak.
Business momentum
Improving
“Total revenues were $37.4 billion in 2025, an increase of $1.9 billion, or 5%, compared with 2024, driven by favorable end-market demand, disciplined commercial execution and contributions from acquisitions.”
Outlook
Positive
“CRH's superior strategy, connected portfolio and leading positions of scale in attractive high-growth markets, together with our strong and flexible balance sheet, are expected to underpin another year of growth and value creation in 2026.”
Financial stress
Low
“As of December 31, 2025, CRH had $4.3 billion of undrawn committed facilities available until 2030.”
Tone against the previous report
About the same
Red flags
None found in this report.
Positives
Record profits and wider margins
“Adjusted EBITDA margin* was 20.5% in 2025, an increase of 100 basis points (bps) compared with an Adjusted EBITDA margin* of 19.5% in 2024”
Strong cash generation
“Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $5.6 billion in 2025 from $5.0 billion in 2024, an increase of $0.6 billion.”
International profits up sharply
“Adjusted EBITDA in International Solutions was 23% ahead of the prior year, with contributions from acquisitions, pricing progress and operational efficiencies driving improvement.”
Concerns
Debt keeps rising
“Net Debt* as of December 31, 2025, was $14.2 billion, compared with $10.5 billion in 2024.”
Interest costs up sharply
“Interest expense was $810 million in 2025, an increase of $198 million, or 32%, compared with 2024.”
Underlying sales slightly down; growth comes from acquisitions
“Americas Materials Solutions’ Total revenues were 5% ahead of 2024, as contributions from acquisitions and pricing progress more than offset weather-impacted volumes earlier in the year.”
New risks since the previous report
Thin goodwill cushion at two business units
“a sensitivity analysis being prepared for two reporting units where their fair values did not substantially exceed their carrying values, with an aggregate headroom of 13%.”
Newly bought Eco Material is loss-making and its controls were not checked
“the Company has elected following a qualitative and quantitative review to exclude an assessment of the internal controls of Eco Material, the substantial acquisition completed during the year.”
Lower returns on the money invested
“Adjusted Return on Invested Capital* (Adjusted ROIC), decreased by 130bps to 12.1% in 2025, from 13.4% in 2024”
Biggest risks named
- Cyclical construction demand and interest rates
- Cuts or delays in government infrastructure spending
- Weak new-home building
- Rising debt and risks of integrating acquisitions
- Climate rules and carbon costs

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
