2 Q3 2026 Results Disclaimer Unless the context otherwise provides, “we,” “us,” “our,” “CRH”, the “Company” and like terms refer to CRH plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. Forward-Looking Statements In reliance upon the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, CRH is providing the following cautionary statement. This presentation contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business, viability and future performance of CRH and certain of the plans and objectives of CRH. These forward-looking statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “anticipates”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “targets”, “aims”, “may”, “continues”, “expects”, “is expected to”, “estimates”, “believes”, “intends” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts or matters of fact at the date of this presentation. In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking in nature: statements regarding CRH's 2026 outlook and performance, including Net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Diluted earnings per share, Adjusted Diluted EPS; capital expenditure, and assumed depreciation, depletion & amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense, effective tax rate and share count; statements regarding CRH’s outlook for 2027; plans and expectations regarding demand and pricing momentum, costs, backlogs, trends in infrastructure, residential and non-residential markets, secular growth trends, macroeconomic and other market trends in regions where CRH operates; plans and expectations regarding our M&A activity and pipeline, including accretion of value and synergies; statements regarding the acquisition of Arcosa Inc. (the 'Arcosa Acquisition'), including integration of Arcosa, the anticipated benefits of the Arcosa Acquisition, including expected synergies (and the timing thereof), accretion and financial impact; CRH’s expected financial performance following the completion of the Arcosa Acquisition, including the expected performance of CRH's combined energy and data infrastructure platform; plans and expectations regarding Velocity, including expected run-rate benefits, expected transformation-related costs and their timing, and expected Adjusted EBITDA margin, plans and expectations regarding certain megatrends, including infrastructure, transportation, water and reindustrialization, and third party estimates and forecasts of market growth and investment; expectations with respect to the impact of further potential global trade policies; statements regarding the expected benefits of CRH’s superior strategy and connected portfolio and its ability to deliver in the long- term; statements regarding CRH’s cash generation capabilities, financial discipline and effective reallocation of capital for growth; plans and expectations regarding CRH's financial capacity and optionality for capital deployment; and plans and expectations regarding return of cash to shareholders, including the timing and amount of share buybacks (including under the new share buyback program) and dividends. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and reflect the Company’s current expectations and assumptions as to such future events and circumstances that may not prove accurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements other than as required by applicable law. A number of material factors could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond our control, and which include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in the 2025 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC. Non-GAAP Financial Measure Disclosure This presentation includes discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Diluted EPS pre-impairment, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Organic Revenue and Organic Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ('GAAP'). See the discussion within ‘Non-GAAP Reconciliations’ on pages 34 to 39 for a definition and reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Beginning in the third quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to also exclude transformation-related costs associated with Velocity, and substantial acquisition and integration-related costs; see page 34. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or considered a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This presentation also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including the expected incremental Adjusted EBITDA run-rate benefits of Velocity by 2028 and the expected Adjusted EBITDA margin by 2030, for which a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not practicable without unreasonable effort, as the Company is unable to forecast with reasonable certainty amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including impairments, gains and losses on divestitures and investments, income or loss from equity method investments, substantial acquisition and integration-related costs, transformation-related costs, and the related tax effects. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP results for the applicable periods. A reconciliation of the Company’s 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to Net income guidance is provided on page 35.

The timing, manner, price, amount and continuation of any repurchases will be determined by management in its discretion based on the Company’s share price, market and business conditions, capital allocation priorities, applicable legal requirements and other factors. 2. The $400M incremental Adjusted EBITDA run-rate target represents management's estimate of annualized benefits expected from Velocity by 2028. 3. Adjusted EBITDA annual run-rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. We cannot predict with certainty items that would be included in the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the relevant future periods. Due to these uncertainties, we cannot provide a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA annual run rate benefits to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable effort. However, we expect to calculate impacts to Adjusted EBITDA, including the items beneficial thereto, for future periods in the same manner as provided herein. Page 12 1. Represents all bolt-on acquisitions and divestitures completed from January 1, 2025 through 2026 YTD. Page 13 1. In the nine months ended September 30, 2026, CRH realized proceeds from divestitures and disposals of long-lived assets of $1.9B, net of disposal costs and deferred proceeds.

Slide 34 — Non-GAAP Reconciliations
34 Q3 2026 Results Non-GAAP Reconciliations CRH uses a number of non-GAAP financial measures to monitor financial performance. These measures are referred to throughout the discussion of our reported financial position and operating performance on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise defined and are measures which are regularly reviewed by CRH management. These financial measures may not be uniformly defined by all companies and accordingly may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies. Certain information presented is derived from amounts calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP but is not itself an expressly permitted GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures as summarized below should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, Loss on impairments, gain/loss on divestitures and investments, Income/loss from equity method investments, substantial acquisition and integration-related costs, pension expense/income excluding current service cost component and transformation-related costs. It is quoted by management in conjunction with other GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to aid investors in their analysis of the performance of the Company. During the third quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude substantial acquisition-related integration costs and transformation-related costs. Management believes this revised measure provides a more meaningful representation of performance by excluding non-routine costs that are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance and may affect comparability.

Organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are arrived at by excluding the incremental revenue and Adjusted EBITDA contributions from current and prior year acquisitions and divestitures, the impact of exchange translation, and the impact of any one-off items. Changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA are presented as additional measures of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to provide a greater understanding of the performance of the Company. Organic change % is calculated by expressing the organic movement as a percentage of the prior year (adjusted for currency exchange effects). A reconciliation of the changes in organic revenue and organic Adjusted EBITDA to the changes in Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by segment, is presented with the discussion within each segment’s performance in tables contained in the segment discussion in Part 1, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

36 Q3 2026 Results Non-GAAP Reconciliations Diluted EPS pre-impairment: Diluted EPS pre-impairment is a measure of the Company's profitability per Common Share from continuing operations excluding any Loss on impairments (which is non-cash) and the related tax impact of such impairments. It is used by management to evaluate the Company's underlying profit performance and its own past performance. Diluted EPS information presented on a pre-impairment basis is useful to investors as it provides an insight into the Company's underlying performance and profitability. Diluted EPS pre-impairment is calculated as Net income (loss) adjusted for (i) Net (income) loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (ii) Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (iii) adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests to redemption value and excluding any Loss on impairments (and the related tax impact of such impairments) divided by the diluted weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the respective period.

37 Q3 2026 Results Non-GAAP Reconciliations Adjusted Diluted EPS: Management has introduced Adjusted Diluted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, as of this update to 2026 guidance, following the acquisition of Arcosa, and the launch of a company-wide transformation initiative under Velocity. Management expects these activities to give rise to acquisition, integration and transformation-related costs that management believes reduces the comparability of the Company’s results across periods. Adjusted Diluted EPS adjusts for items that affect comparability on a period-to-period basis including substantial acquisition and integration-related costs, transformation-related costs, Loss on impairments, gain/loss on divestitures and investments, pension expense/income excluding current service cost component and the related tax impact of such adjustments. An adjustment is also included for the after-tax impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets because the amount and timing of this expense is impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of acquisitions completed. Management uses Adjusted Diluted EPS, together with Diluted EPS, to evaluate the Company’s underlying profit performance and intends to present it on a consistent basis in future periods. Adjusted Diluted EPS differs from Diluted EPS pre- impairment which continues to be presented for actual results for the third quarter of 2026. Management believes these adjustments provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of our underlying performance and profitability. Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Diluted EPS calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Diluted EPS pre-impairment is presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 for continuity and will no longer be presented from the fourth quarter of 2026. To facilitate comparison, Adjusted Diluted EPS has been presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and for each quarter of 2026 and 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025, on a basis consistent with this definition, together with reconciliations to Diluted EPS.
