addressing population growth, an expanding economy, climate

resiliency, and aging infrastructure – all powerful catalysts of

growth for our business. The urgent need for more resilient,

modernized infrastructure increasingly plays to the strength of

Double-digit earnings growth 3

Note:

3. ‘Double-digit earnings growth’ refers to CRH’s compound annualized growth rate of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the period from December 31, 2015 to December

31, 2025. Metrics from the financial year ended December 31, 2015 are based on IFRS. 2015 EBITDA has been modified to exclude contributions from subsequently divested businesses.

The adjustments required to reflect these metrics under U.S. GAAP have not been quantified. No material differences have been identified that would impact trends calculated in

accordance with U.S. GAAP in comparison to IFRS. For source data of these 2015 metrics, please see the discussion within ‘Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Figures’ in Annex A.
