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 Quarterly Report 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 Quarterly Report.

In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward looking in nature: expectations regarding CRH’s outlook for 2026, including drivers of CRH's performance, demand outlook, trends in CRH’s markets and key end-markets, government funding initiatives and manufacturing trends (including public investment in infrastructure and reindustrialization activity), pricing trends, costs and weather patterns; plans and expectations regarding business strategy and cash returns for shareholders, including expectations regarding dividends and share buybacks; plans and expectations regarding CRH’s financial capacity, including our ability to fund acquisitions and meet working capital needs, capital expenditures, contractual obligations, dividends, share repurchases, upcoming debt maturities and other liquidity requirements; plans and expectations regarding the expansion of our operations and the timing and benefits of our acquisitions and divestitures; and statements regarding the consummation (including timing thereof) of the proposed merger (the ‘Arcosa Acquisition’) between CRH and Arcosa, Inc. (‘Arcosa’); the anticipated benefits of the Arcosa Acquisition, including expected synergies, accretion and financial impact; CRH’s expected financial performance following the completion of the Arcosa Acquisition; and plans and expectations regarding market trends and dynamics in regions where CRH operates.

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 our 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 Quarterly Report. We expressly disclaim 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: economic and financial conditions, including changes in interest rates, inflation, price volatility and/or labor and materials shortages; demand for infrastructure, residential and non-residential construction and our products in geographic markets in which we operate; increased competition and its impact on prices and market position; increases in energy, labor and/or other raw materials costs; adverse changes to laws and regulations, including in relation to climate change; the impact of unfavorable weather; investor and/or consumer sentiment regarding the importance of sustainable practices and products; availability of public sector funding for infrastructure programs; political uncertainty, including as a result of political and social conditions in the jurisdictions CRH operates in, or adverse political developments, including the ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; failure to complete or successfully integrate acquisitions or make timely divestitures; cyber-attacks and exposure of associates, contractors, customers, suppliers and other individuals to health and safety risks, including due to product failures; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the agreement relating to the Arcosa Acquisition; the failure to obtain the required approval of Arcosa’s stockholders; the failure to satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the Arcosa Acquisition, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals; risks that the Arcosa Acquisition disrupts CRH’s current plans and operations; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Arcosa Acquisition; the amount of costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the Arcosa Acquisition and the actual terms of the financing obtained in connection with the Arcosa Acquisition; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential litigation relating to the Arcosa Acquisition; and the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Arcosa Acquisition on CRH’s and Arcosa’s business relationships, operating results and business generally. Additional factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those expressed by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described herein and in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and the Company's 2025 Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC.
