Net income for the period was $1.3 billion, marking a 2% YoY increase. This growth was supported by a strong underlying operating performance, which offset higher depreciation and interest expenses. The net income margin improved to 13.1%, up by 50 basis points (bps) compared to the same period last year [2].

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter stood at $2.5 billion, a 9% YoY increase, driven by the continued delivery of CRH's connected strategy, positive pricing, and contributions from acquisitions. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 24.1%, up by 70 bps from the prior year [2].

CRH's acquisition strategy has been a significant driver of growth. The company invested $1.0 billion in 19 acquisitions year-to-date (YTD), with a notable $2.1 billion acquisition of Eco Material Technologies agreed upon. This acquisition aims to secure the long-term supply of high-value critical materials and accelerate cementitious growth [2].

Additionally, CRH has been actively engaged in share buybacks. The company completed an $0.8 billion share buyback YTD, with a new $0.3 billion tranche commencing. The company's ongoing share buyback program aims to return value to shareholders [2].

CRH's CEO, Jim Mintern, commented on the strong second quarter performance, stating, "Our strong second quarter performance was driven by favorable underlying demand, disciplined commercial management, and further contributions from acquisitions. CRH's proven strategy continued to drive higher sales, profits, and Adjusted EBITDA margins, while our robust balance sheet and financial capacity enabled us to allocate approximately $3 billion to growth investments and capital returns year-to-date."

Looking ahead, CRH expects positive activity across its key end-use markets in 2025. The company has raised its financial guidance for 2025, expecting net income of $3.8 billion to $3.9 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 billion to $7.7 billion [2].
