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." [1] Amrize Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for up to $1.0 billion, with a 12-month expiration, pending approval of the 2025 financial statements at the Annual General Meeting. [2] Dividends will be paid out of legal capital reserves from tax capital contributions and are not subject to Swiss withholding tax. [3] Amrize Board of Directors proposes a special one-time dividend of $0.44 per share, to be paid following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. [4] Amrize Board of Directors proposes an annual ordinary dividend of $0.44 per share, to be paid in up to four quarterly installments at the discretion of the Board, following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting. 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 Guidance[5] Amrize has established an efficient capital structure and operating model. 2025 Corporate costs were $210 million versus guidance of $300 to $320 million[6]. 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 Debt[7] was $3,347 million. The Net Leverage Ratio[8] 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:

This media release contains certain financial measures of historical performance and financial positions that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the schedules attached hereto. Adjusted financial measures are Non-GAAP measures and exclude adjusting items as described and reconciled to comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures in the Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures contained in this Media Release. We believe these adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the Company’s and our business segments’ core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating Amrize’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance. Our Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with, and are not an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of our financial statements should not place undue reliance on these Non-GAAP financial measures. Because Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ Non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. As required by SEC rules, the tables on pages 13-15 below present a reconciliation of our presented Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
