Amrize (AMRZ) announced today its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results.

Jan Jenisch, Chairman and CEO: "2025 was a milestone year for Amrize as we completed our spin-off, delivered for our customers and set the foundation for our long-term, profitable growth. I thank our 19,000 empowered teammates who are serving our customers across North America as the partner of choice for their most important building projects.

We increased revenues to $11.8 billion and delivered $3.0 billion of Adjusted EBITDA driven by infrastructure demand and an improving commercial market. As we closed the year, we saw growing customer demand in cement and aggregates, as well as continued positive pricing. Our Building Envelope business was affected by the soft residential roofing market, while commercial repair and refurbishment remained resilient.

We generated strong Free Cash Flow on the year and achieved a Net Leverage Ratio of 1.1x. Our strong cash conversion and balance sheet provide the flexibility and firepower to fuel our growth and return cash to our shareholders.

We invested $788 million in CapEx in 2025, and plan to increase these investments to $900 million in 2026 to accelerate our growth. We are also ramping up our value-accretive M&A to expand our footprint in the most attractive markets, demonstrated recently with our agreement to acquire PB Materials, the leading aggregates business in high-growth West Texas.

Delivering shareholder return, our Board has authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, and proposes a special one time dividend as well as an annual ordinary dividend.

We are delivering on our commitment to invest for growth and create value for all stakeholders. We are well positioned in our $200 billion addressable market and have set our 2026 guidance reflecting accelerating customer demand and profitable growth."

Shareholder Return Plan

The Board of Directors has approved a $1.0 billion share repurchase program, pending approval of the 2025 financial statements at the AGM, with a 12-month expiration.

The Board of Directors also proposes a special, one-time dividend of $0.44 per share, payable following approval by shareholders at the AGM, as well as a $0.44 ordinary annual dividend per share, payable in quarterly installments, at the discretion of the Board.

Dividends will be paid out of capital contribution reserves and are not subject to Swiss withholding tax.

Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance⁵

Amrize has established an efficient capital structure and operating model. 2025 Corporate costs were $210 million versus guidance of $300 to $320 million⁶. Net interest expense was $413 million versus $512 million in 2024 and the effective tax rate was 21.8% versus guidance of 22% to 24%. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 were $1,922 million and Net Debt⁷ was $3,347 million. The Net Leverage Ratio⁸ as of December 31, 2025 was 1.1x, compared to 1.7x as of September 30, 2025.

This positions the company to continue generating growth and returns. Amrize has set 2026 guidance reflecting accelerating customer demand and profitable growth. In Building Materials, volumes and pricing are expected to be growth contributors with low single-digit percentage growth in cement pricing and mid-single-digit percentage growth in aggregates pricing. In Building Envelope, Amrize expects low-single digit growth in commercial roofing volumes and flat volumes in residential roofing with improvement in the second half of the year.

Based on these drivers, Amrize is providing the following financial guidance for full year 2026:

The Company's 2026 financial guidance includes the following underlying assumptions:

ASPIRE Program Update

Amrize launched its ASPIRE program in 2025 to accelerate synergies and profitable growth. Leveraging its scale across 1,000 sites and two business segments, the company is optimizing third party spending and driving efficiencies in its operational footprint and logistics network.

Amrize realized initial savings in the fourth quarter and the company is now targeting 70 basis points of margin expansion through ASPIRE in 2026 and is on track to achieve more than $250 million in synergies through 2028.

Amrize Consolidated Results (Unaudited)

Revenues were $2,839 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $2,849 million in 2024. Revenues were 0.4% lower in the quarter, reflecting continued infrastructure spend, an improving commercial market and the soft residential roofing market.

Adjusted EBITDA was $779 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared with $791 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher volumes and continued aggregates pricing growth in the Building Materials segment, offset by lower residential roofing volumes in the Building Envelope segment.

Net income was $298 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, or $0.54 Diluted EPS, compared with Net income of $292 million, or $0.53 Diluted EPS, in 2024. Net income was $1,182 million for the full year 2025, or $2.14 Diluted EPS, compared with Net income of $1,273 million, or $2.30 Diluted EPS, in 2024.

Adjusted Diluted EPS for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.62 compared to $0.57 in 2024. Adjusted Diluted EPS for the full year 2025 was $2.40 compared to $2.44 in 2024.

Amrize Building Materials Results (Unaudited)

Building Materials Revenues were $2,161 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $2,080 million in 2024. Revenue growth of 3.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025 was driven by higher volumes and continued aggregates pricing growth. Cement volumes were up 3.6% with pricing down 0.8% coupled with increased aggregates volumes of 3.0% with freight-adjusted pricing up 3.8%.

Fourth quarter 2025 Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Building Materials segment was $705 million, compared to $666 million in 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to volume growth, aggregates pricing, production efficiency and ASPIRE savings.

The company is executing on its strategy of investing for growth through CapEx and M&A in the most attractive markets. In the fourth quarter, Building Materials completed a 660,000 ton capacity expansion at its Ste. Genevieve cement plant, North America's largest and market leading plant. In January, Amrize announced an agreement to acquire PB Materials, expanding its aggregates business into high-growth West Texas. The company expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter.

Amrize Building Envelope Results (Unaudited)

Building Envelope Revenues were $678 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $769 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to softer residential roofing demand, partially offset by strong commercial repair and refurbishment revenues.

Fourth quarter 2025 Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Building Envelope segment was $130 million, compared to $170 million in 2024. Lower Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to lower residential roofing volumes and an $8 million increase in warranty provisions, which was partially offset by an improvement in commercial roofing margin on resilient repair and refurbishment demand.

The company is on track to commission a new state-of-the-art Malarkey shingle factory in Franklin, Indiana by the end of 2026 to increase production and expand market share in the attractive Midwest and Eastern markets.

Amrize Cash Flow and Debt

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $2,208 million as compared to $2,282 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Free Cash Flow¹⁷ was $1,463 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,733 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $270 million.

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $74 million was primarily driven by lower net income of $91 million and changes to net working capital.

Gross Debt as of December 31, 2025 was $5,269 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,922 million, resulting in a decrease in Net Debt¹⁸ to $3,347 million. The Net Leverage Ratio¹⁹ as of December 31, 2025 was 1.1x, compared to 1.7x as of September 30, 2025.
