Segment Performance Divergence Across Americas Solutions
Americas Materials Solutions revenue grew 10% YoY in Q2 FY2026 to $4.96B (Adjusted EBITDA +12% to $1.38B) led by 20% growth in Essential Materials and strong aggregate pricing (+5%). Conversely, Americas Building Solutions revenue declined 2% YoY to $2.12B as strong energy and data center demand was offset by non-core business divestitures.
Divestiture Cash Proceeds and Nonoperating Gains
CRH realized $1.8B in net cash proceeds from divestitures in the first six months of FY2026, including the sales of its lawn and garden operations ($1.1B), construction accessories operations ($0.7B), and MoistureShield ($0.1B). These sales contributed to a $282M net nonoperating gain in Q2 FY2026.
