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. We completed 19 acquisitions year-to-date and continue to see an active pipeline of opportunities to further strengthen our market-leading positions in attractive growth markets.
