Feb 26 (Reuters) - CRH PLC CRH.N CEO interview with Reuters:

CRH CEO - TWO MAJOR 2024 ACQUISTIONS GOING REALLY WELL, MORE UPSIDE THAN WE PROBABLY THOUGHT INITIALLY

CRH CEO - EXPECTATIONS FOR PRICING IN 2025 BROADLY IN LINE WHAT WE SAID IN NOVEMBER, ANOTHER YEAR OF PRICE PROGRESSION

CRH CEO - NOT ASSUMING ANY IMPACT FROM TARIFFS IN OUR GUIDANCE, WE HAVE VERY MINIMAL LEVELS OF CROSS-BORDER TRADE

CRH CEO - CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT ONSHORING ACTIVITY COULD PICK UP FURTHER AS A RESULT OF GREATER TRADE PROTECTIONISM

CRH CEO - CONTINUING TO SEE ONSHORING ACTIVITY IN CHIP PLANTS, DATA CENTRES AND LIFE SCIENCES, SOME GREEN SHOOTS IN WAREHOUSING, DISTRIBUTION CENTRES

CRH CEO - ANY INCREASED FOCUS ON DEFENCE SPENDING IN EASTERN EUROPE WOULD BE BROADLY POSITIVE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS

CRH CEO - AS LARGEST BUILDINGS MATERIAL COMPANY IN UKRAINE, WAITING AND WELL POSITION TO HOPEFULLY PARTICIPATE IN FUTURE RECONSTRUCTION
