CRH swings to Q1 net loss of $98 million as revenue rises 3%
CRH reported first quarter 2025 results for the period ended March 31, 2025. Total revenues rose 3% to $6.8 billion, but the company posted a net loss of $98 million, compared with net income of $114 million a year earlier, as gains on prior-year divestitures did not recur. Adjusted EBITDA rose 11% to $495 million, and CRH reaffirmed its 2025 guidance, which matters to shareholders because the profit swing and the reaffirmed outlook both bear on expected full-year results.
