Related Party Transactions [Abstract]  
Related party Note 18. Related party
Pursuant to the Spin-Off, Holcim ceased to be a related party to the Company and accordingly, no related
party transactions or balances have been reported subsequent to the Separation and Distribution Date. In
connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a number of agreements with Holcim to govern the
Spin-Off and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward, including, but not
limited to the following:
Separation and Distribution Agreement - sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection
with the Spin-Off, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes
certain rights and obligations between the Company and Holcim following the Spin-Off, including
procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.
Transition Services Agreement - governs all matters relating to the provision of services between the
Company and Holcim on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives primarily include
support for information technology-related functions. The transition services generally commenced
on the date of Spin-Off and are expected to be completed over a period of one year, but no longer
than two years after the Spin-Off.
Tax Matters Agreement - governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between the
Company and Holcim with respect to all tax matters, in addition to certain restrictions which generally
prohibit the Company from taking or failing to take any action for periods of varying length, from two
years to as long as five years, following the Spin-Off that would prevent the Spin-Off from qualifying
as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on the Company’s ability to
pursue certain strategic transactions. The allocation of liabilities for payroll taxes and reporting and
other employee tax matters is covered by the Employee Matters Agreement and the allocation of
liabilities for all other taxes is covered by the Tax Matters Agreement.
The financial statement impact of these agreements was immaterial for the three months ended March 31,
2026. Under the TSA, the services provided to the Company ended in February 2026, while certain services
that the Company provides to Holcim are expected to continue through June 2027.
The following discussion summarizes activity between the Company and Holcim that occurred prior to the
completion of the Spin-Off.
Related-party transactions
The Company and Holcim historically had intercompany activity, resulting in revenues and expenses for both
parties prior to the Spin-Off. Transactions between the Company and other businesses of Holcim were
considered related-party transactions. Revenues for products and services provided to Holcim by the
Company were $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The costs incurred by the Company
related to products and services purchased from Holcim were $31 million for the three months ended March
31, 2025 and are contained within Cost of revenues on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
Certain related-party transactions between the Company and Holcim have been included in these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Spin-Off. Trade receivables and payables, as well as
non-trade receivables and payables, between the Company and Holcim are cash settled and are presented
within Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheets. These amounts were previously presented as Due from related-party and Due to related-party,
respectively. The net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected within Cash
flows from operating activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company also generated revenues from its equity method investees of $2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Allocation of corporate expenses
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include expense allocations for certain
corporate, infrastructure, and other shared services that were provided by Holcim on a centralized basis,
including but not limited to accounting and financial reporting, treasury, tax, legal, human resources,
information technology, insurance, employee benefits, and other shared services that are either specifically
identifiable or directly attributable to the Company, prior to the Spin-Off. These expenses had been allocated
to the Company on the basis of direct usage when specifically identifiable, with the remainder predominantly
allocated on a pro rata basis using revenues. The Company’s management considers this allocation to be a
reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company during the
periods presented prior to the Spin-Off. However, these expense allocations may not be indicative of the
actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company during the
periods presented, and they may not reflect what the Company’s results of operations may be in the future.
All such amounts have been deemed to have been incurred and settled by the Company in the period in
which the costs were recorded and are included within Net parent investment on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets prior to the Spin-Off.
Allocations for management costs and corporate support services provided to the Company prior to the Spin-
Off were $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, including $8 million in Cost of revenues and
$19 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cash management and financing
Prior to the Spin-Off, a majority of the Company’s subsidiaries participated in Holcim’s centralized cash
pooling program. Depending on the Company’s contributions and withdrawals to and from the cash pool, it
was either in a net lending or borrowing position. Amrize’s position in the Holcim cash pooling program was
settled prior to the Spin-Off. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid interest expense
of less than $1 million, on borrowings from Holcim’s centralized cash management and financing function. For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received interest income of $5 million on amounts
contributed to the cash pooling program.
Related-party notes payable
The Company had short-term and long-term borrowing arrangements with Holcim prior to the Spin-Off. The
borrowing arrangements with Holcim were primarily for working capital needs and for financing certain
acquisitions and had an aggregate principal balance of $7,645 million as of June 22, 2025. Prior to the Spin-
Off, the Company settled $5,646 million of related-party notes payable, with the remaining $1,999 million
contributed by Holcim to the Company as equity. The Company recognized interest expense from related-
party notes payable of $108 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net parent investment
As a result of the Spin-Off, Net parent investment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was fully
settled on the Separation and Distribution Date. Prior to the Spin-Off, Net parent investment in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of equity represented Holcim’s historical investment in the Company, the
net effect of transactions with Holcim and allocations from Holcim, and the Company’s accumulated earnings.
Net transfers to Holcim are included within Net parent investment. The components of Net transfers to
Holcim on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and the reconciliation to the
corresponding amounts presented within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of equity, which
includes certain non-cash elements, were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2025:
Net transfers to Holcim of $89 million for general financing activities and allocation of corporate
expenses, and
Other non-cash activities to Holcim of $5 million.
