Revenues up 2.2% to $3,771 million Net Income grew 3.3% to $558 million Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.2% to $1,076 million Margin expansion of 30 basis points in Building Materials Completed Rapid Redi-Mix acquisition in Dallas-Fort Worth Board of Directors declared third quarter dividend of $0.11 per share FY 2026 Guidance updated reflecting continued cost inflation and elevated interest rates CHICAGO/ZUG, Switzerland, October 28, 2026 – Amrize (AMRZ) announced today its third quarter 2026 financial results. Jan Jenisch, Chairman and CEO: "With the strength of our network and strategic footprint, we delivered resilient results in the third quarter. We increased revenue 2.2% on strong pricing and contributions from our recent acquisitions, even as weather patterns affected construction in the quarter. We grew Net Income by 3.3% to $558 million and increased Adjusted EBITDA to $1,076 million. While oil price driven cost inflation continued to affect the industry, we're proactively managing what we can control and achieved strong gains in pricing, surcharges and our ASPIRE program. In the third quarter, cement pricing increased 1.8% and aggregates prices grew 6.9% driving margin expansion of 30 basis points in Building Materials. We achieved positive price traction in commercial and residential roofing in Building Envelope. In addition to pricing, our energy, fuel and freight surcharges contributed $23 million across our business. We continued to drive synergies with our ASPIRE program and have now delivered $73 million in savings year-to-date. We are executing on our strategy of investing for profitable growth in attractive markets, while returning cash to shareholders. We invested $262 million in Capex as we expand production and improve efficiency to best serve our customers. Our recent acquisitions PB Materials and Rapid Redi-Mix are exceeding our expectations and are expected to be EPS accretive this year. While inflation and interest rates continue to be a headwind for full year results, mega-trends from data centers and energy projects to advanced manufacturing and infrastructure are expected to continue driving long term construction demand. With our unparalleled footprint across North America, we are well positioned to serve our customers, deliver profitable growth and return value to our shareholders." Shareholder Return Amrize has returned $1.1 billion to shareholders with share buybacks and dividends in the first three quarters. The company repurchased $750 million of Amrize shares in the first three quarters. On October 28, 2026, the company completed its $1 billion share repurchase program, representing approximately 4% of the share capital. Amrize has paid $364 million of dividends year to date, including the special one time dividend for 2025 and quarterly dividends for the first and second quarters of 2026. The Amrize Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.11 per share for the third quarter to be paid on November 18, 2026. The last trading day with entitlement to receive the quarterly dividend, known as the cum-dividend date, is November 9, 2026. The shares will be traded ex-dividend on November 10, 2026, which is also the record date. Dividends are paid out of capital contribution reserves[1] and are not subject to Swiss withholding tax. Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance[2] [1] Dividends will be made in the form of distributions paid out of legal reserves from capital contributions and are not subject to Swiss withholding tax. The dividend is the third installment of the annual dividend of up to $0.44 per share approved at the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting. Building Materials had a strong first nine months of the year with revenue growth of 6.2% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 5.5%. Weather patterns moderated volumes in the third quarter and elevated interest rates may affect fourth quarter volumes. For the full year, we continue to expect cement pricing to be flat to up low-single digits and aggregates pricing to be up mid-single digits. Energy, fuel and freight surcharges have helped offset cost inflation, and the company expects Building Materials to be price-cost positive in Q4 2026. Building Envelope increased revenue 2.0% in the first nine months. The company expects commercial roofing volumes to remain resilient and residential roofing to be softer due to lower existing-home sales. Price increases are phasing in across the Building Envelope portfolio, as well as freight and fuel surcharges to offset cost inflation. The company expects price-cost to improve sequentially in Q4 2026 compared to Q3 2026. However, the magnitude of inflation has pushed the company's expectation for Building Envelope price-cost positivity into 2027. The ASPIRE program continues to execute with $73 million savings achieved across raw materials, service, logistics and equipment spend in the first nine months of the year. The program is on track to achieve $80 million of savings in 2026. Insurance proceeds of $36 million recognized in the Building Materials segment during Q4 2025 are not expected to repeat this year. Based on these drivers, Amrize is updating its FY 2026 financial guidance as follows:
[2] Amrize provides forward-looking guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA. Amrize cannot, without unreasonable effort, forecast certain adjusted items excluded from comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. These items include Acquisition and integration-related costs, Litigation-related costs, Loss on impairments, Restructuring and other costs, Spin-off and separation-related costs, Other non-operating income, net, and Income from equity method investments, that are difficult to predict in advance to include in a U.S. GAAP estimate. For the same reasons, Amrize is unable to address the probable significance of the items. Amrize Consolidated Results (Unaudited)

Amrize Cash Flow and Debt For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $222 million compared to $417 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $195 million was primarily driven by net working capital changes and the settlement of Spin-Off related balances in the prior period, partially offset by higher net income and non-cash expenses. Free Cash Flow[11] was a use of $551 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to a use of $186 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in Free Cash Flow was primarily driven by lower cash provided by operating activities and higher Capex investments for growth initiatives. Free Cash Flow is historically seasonal and the company generates the majority of its cash flow in the second half of the year. Gross Debt was $5,848 million and Cash and cash equivalents were $299 million as of September 30, 2026, resulting in Net Debt[12] of $5,549 million. The Net Leverage Ratio[13] as of September 30, 2026 was 1.8x. [11] Free Cash Flow represents a Non-GAAP measure, which is defined on page 9 and reconciled on pages 13-15 of the PDF version.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements The company has revised certain prior period financial statements to correct immaterial adjustments identified during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These adjustments correct an extended warranty misstatement as well as other unrelated misstatements. These revisions were not material to the prior periods and do not affect the ongoing operations of the company.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, such as statements regarding expected cost savings, future financial targets, business strategies, management’s views with respect to future events and financial performance, and the assumptions underlying such expected cost savings, targets, strategies, and statements. These forward-looking statements concern our goals, beliefs, expectations, strategies, objectives, plans, future operating results and underlying assumptions, and other statements that are not necessarily based on historical facts. Without limitation, you can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and these statements may contain words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “might,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “continue,” “estimate,” or “pursue,” or similar expressions, or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terms. In particular, they include statements relating to, among other things, future actions, strategies, future performance, future revenues, income and cash flows, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and regulatory compliance. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated (expressed or implied) by such forward-looking statements because of, among other things, potential risks and uncertainties, such as: the effect of political, economic and market conditions and geopolitical events; the level of demand in the construction industry; the cyclicality of the industries and businesses in which our customers operate; changes in the cost and/or availability of raw materials required to run our business; energy and fuel costs; adverse weather conditions and natural disasters; the logistical and other challenges inherent in our operations; the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors; the level and volatility of, interest rates and other market indices; the ability of Amrize to realize the expected synergies for our acquisitions; the ability of Amrize to achieve margin expansion goals; the ability of Amrize to maintain satisfactory credit ratings; the outcome of pending litigation or future litigation; the impact of current, pending and future legislation and regulation; factors related to the failure of Amrize to achieve some or all of the expected strategic benefits or opportunities expected from the separation from Holcim Ltd (“Holcim”); material costs and expenses as a result of the separation from Holcim; our limited history operating as an independent, publicly traded company; our obligation to indemnify Holcim pursuant to the agreements entered into connection with the separation and the risk Holcim may not fulfill any obligations to indemnify Amrize under such agreements; that under applicable tax law, Amrize may be liable for certain tax liabilities of Holcim following the separation if Holcim were to fail to pay such taxes; the fact that Amrize may receive worse commercial terms from third-parties for services it used to receive from Holcim prior to the separation; the fact that certain of Amrize's executive officers and directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their previous positions at Holcim; and potential difficulties in maintaining relationships with key personnel; and other factors which can be found in Amrize’s media releases and Amrize’s filings with the SEC. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond our control, dependent on the actions of third parties, or currently unknown to us – as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our expectations and projections. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our other public statements. FINANCIAL MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS 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"). We refer to these measures as "Non-GAAP financial measures". Non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures in the schedules attached hereto. Adjusted financial measures are Non-GAAP financial 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 financial measures.
