NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements of Allegion plc, an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion" or "the Company"), reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Allegion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS
2023
On January 3, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed an acquisition of the assets of plano. group, a SaaS workforce management solution business based in Germany ("plano"), for initial cash consideration of $36.6 million. Additional consideration may be payable in future periods in the event plano achieves certain specified financial results. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and plano has been incorporated into the Allegion International segment.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, which includes initial cash consideration and the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date includes approximately $3 million of net working capital, approximately $17 million of finite-lived intangible assets and approximately $22 million of goodwill. The finite-lived intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 15 years. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed had not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2023, and finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded. The completion of the valuation will occur no later than one year from the acquisition date as required by GAAP.
2022
On July 5, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of Stanley Access Technologies LLC and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the "Access Technologies business") for preliminary cash consideration of $923.1 million. The Access Technologies business acquisition helps the Company create a more comprehensive portfolio of access solutions, with the addition of automated entrances. Additionally, the Access Technologies business adds an expansive service and support network throughout the U.S. and Canada, broadening the Company's solutions to national, regional and local customers and complementing the Company's existing strengths in these non-residential markets. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the Access Technologies business has been integrated into the Allegion Americas segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
In millions | |||||
Accounts receivable, net | $ | 69.7 | |||
Inventories | 50.8 | ||||
Other current assets | 0.3 | ||||

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (31.3) | ||||
Other noncurrent liabilities | (23.0) | ||||
Total net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | 923.1 |
The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed had not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2023. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for acquired tangible assets, goodwill
4
and income tax assets and liabilities, among other items. The completion of the valuation will occur no later than one year from the acquisition date as required by GAAP. Intangible assets recognized as of the acquisition date were comprised of the following:
Value (in millions) | Useful life (in years) | ||||||||||
Completed technologies/patents | $ | 6.2 | 5 | ||||||||
Customer relationships | 137.4 | 23 | |||||||||
Trade names (finite-lived) | 56.8 | 5 | |||||||||
Backlog revenue | 22.1 | 2 |
Goodwill results from several factors, including Allegion-specific synergies that were excluded from the cash flow projections used in the valuation of intangible assets and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled workforce. Goodwill resulting from the Access Technologies business acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the Access Technologies business acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021:

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the pro forma events taken place on the date indicated or the future consolidated results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting the historical financial results to reflect additional items directly attributable to the acquisition that would have been incurred assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021. Adjustments to historical financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, include:

outstanding at March 31, 2023. The 2021 Credit Facilities mature on November 18, 2026, and are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by Allegion plc and Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
The 2021 Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting March 31, 2022 through March 31, 2025, 2.5% per quarter starting June 30, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with the balance due on November 18, 2026. The Company repaid $3.1 million of principal on the 2021 Term Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The 2021 Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had $13.4 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2023. Borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company, equal to either: (i) a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.875% to 1.375% depending on the Company’s credit ratings. At March 31, 2023, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrued interest at BSBY plus a margin of 1.125%, resulting in an interest rate of 6.019%. The 2021 Credit Facilities also contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the 2021 Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the credit agreement.
Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, Allegion US Hold Co had $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”), $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes”) and $600.0 million outstanding of its 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "5.411% Senior Notes"), and Allegion plc had $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “3.500% Senior Notes”, and all four senior notes collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 3.500% Senior Notes all require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year and will mature on October 1, 2024, October 1, 2027 and October 1, 2029, respectively. The 5.411% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on January 1 and July 1 of each year, and will mature on July 1, 2032.
The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 5.411% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee of the 3.200% Senior Notes, the 3.550% Senior Notes and the 5.411% Senior Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of Allegion plc and ranks equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 3.500% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion plc, are guaranteed by Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Currency Hedging Instruments
The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $181.1 million and $161.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Neither the fair values of currency derivatives, which are determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily observable (Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy described in Note 10), nor the balances included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss were material as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges did not have a material impact to either Net earnings or Other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, nor is the amount to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months expected to be material, although the actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary as a result of future changes in market conditions. At March 31, 2023, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives, both those that are designated as cash flow hedges and those that are not, was less than one year.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts consist of a number of investment grade major international financial institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, the credit ratings and the concentration of risk in these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis, and therefore, the Company believes they present no significant credit risk to the Company.

Employer contributions totaling approximately $12 million are expected to be made during the remainder of 2023.
NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
•Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
•Investments – These instruments include equity mutual funds and corporate bond funds. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
•Deferred compensation and other retirement plans – These include obligations related to deferred compensation and other retirement plans adjusted for market performance. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
•Debt – These instruments are recorded at cost and include the 2021 Credit Facilities and Senior Notes maturing through 2032. The fair value of these debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023, are the same as those used as of December 31, 2022. The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivable, net, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company also had investments in debt and equity securities without readily determinable fair values of $46.8 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which are classified as Other noncurrent assets within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are considered to be nonrecurring fair value measurements, and thus, are not included in the fair value tables above.

NOTE 12 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs"). Share-based compensation expense is included in Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31:

Number granted | Weighted- average fair value per award | Number granted | Weighted- average fair value per award | ||||||||||||||||||||
Stock options | 156,929 | $ | 33.66 | 157,880 | $ | 28.59 | |||||||||||||||||
RSUs | 117,923 | $ | 112.59 | 101,609 | $ | 115.33 |
The weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used during the three months ended March 31:
2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||
Dividend yield | 1.60 | % | 1.42 | % | |||||||
Volatility | 28.47 | % | 27.05 | % | |||||||
Risk-free rate of return | 4.10 | % | 1.89 | % | |||||||
Expected life (years) | 6.0 | 6.0 |
Volatility is based on the Company’s historic volatility. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards is derived from the simplified approach based on the weighted-average time to vest and the remaining contractual term and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.
Performance Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.1 million shares. In February 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted PSUs that were earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by earnings per share ("EPS") performance in relation to pre-established targets for each performance period set by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the

Board, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return against the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over a three-year performance period. The fair values of the market condition are estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates of return and correlation matrix.
NOTE 13 - RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $3.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of expenses associated with restructuring activities, which are included within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The changes in the restructuring reserve during the three months ended March 31, 2023, were as follows:

Additions, net of reversals | 3.0 | ||||
Cash payments | (0.8) | ||||

The majority of the costs accrued as of March 31, 2023, are expected to be paid within one year.
The Company also incurred other non-qualified restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which represent costs that are directly attributable to restructuring activities, but that do not fall into the severance, exit or disposal category. These expenses are included in Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were 16.3% and 13.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2022 is primarily due to a change in the mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
NOTE 16 - EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three months ended March 31:

Weighted-average number of basic shares | 88.0 | 88.2 | |||||||||
Shares issuable under share-based compensation plans | 0.4 | 0.4 | |||||||||
Weighted-average number of diluted shares | 88.4 | 88.6 |
At March 31, 2023, 0.5 million stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 17 - NET REVENUES
The following tables show the Company’s Net revenues related to both tangible product sales and services for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, disaggregated by business segment:

Services | 0.5 | 6.6 | 7.1 | ||||||||||||||
Total Net revenues | $ | 521.9 | $ | 201.7 | $ | 723.6 |
Net revenues are shown by tangible product sales and services, as contract terms, conditions and economic factors affecting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty around revenue recognition and cash flows are substantially similar within each of these two principal revenue streams. Product sales involve contracts with a single performance obligation, the transfer of control of a product or bundle of products to a customer. Service revenue, which includes inspection, maintenance and repair, design and installation, aftermarket and locksmith services, as well as software-as-a-service offerings such as access control, IoT integration and workforce management solutions, is delayed until the service performance obligations are satisfied.
As of March 31, 2023, neither the contract assets related to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed, nor the contract liabilities associated with contract revenue were material. The Company does not have any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized on its Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded.
NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product warranty matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental Matters
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had reserves for environmental matters of $23.5 million and $24.1 million, respectively. The total reserve at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, included $13.3 million and $13.8 million, respectively, related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of their expected future payment. The Company’s total current environmental reserve at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, and the remainder was classified as noncurrent. Expenses related to environmental remediation were not material during either the three months ended March 31, 2023, or 2022. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.
Warranty Liability
The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

NOTE 19 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company classifies its business into the following two reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. The Company largely evaluates performance based on Segment operating income and Segment operating margins. Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that the Company’s chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. For these reasons, the Company believes that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges, from Operating income to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base operating decisions. The Company defines Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of the segment’s Net revenues.
Due to a reporting change effective January 1, 2023, results for the Company's Global Portable Security brands (inclusive of the AXA, Kryptonite and Trelock businesses) are now fully reflected within the Allegion International segment. Accordingly, the summary of operations by reportable segment below for the three months ended March 31, 2022, has been recast to conform with the current year presentation. The impact of this recast was to re-align approximately $6.3 million and $1.3 million of Net revenues and Segment operating income, respectively, from the Allegion Americas segment to the Allegion International segment.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
Organization
Allegion plc and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion," "the Company", "we," "our," or "us") are a leading global provider of security products and solutions operating in two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. We sell a wide range of security products and solutions for end-users in commercial, institutional and residential facilities worldwide, including the education, healthcare, government, hospitality, retail, commercial office and single and multi-family residential markets. Our leading brands include CISA®, Interflex®, LCN®, Schlage®, SimonsVoss® and Von Duprin®.
Recent Developments
Business and Industry Trends and Outlook
Throughout the first quarter of 2023, we continued to experience strong demand for our non-residential products and services in our Allegion Americas segment. Our ability to meet this elevated level of customer demand continued to improve, due in part to our on-going actions to address industry-wide supply-chain challenges and improving availability of parts and materials. However, lower demand continued to weigh on sales volumes of mechanical residential products within our Allegion Americas segment. We have also begun to experience softness in demand for our Global Portable Security products in our Allegion International segment, as the market environment for these products stabilizes following the surge in demand during COVID that extended into early 2022.
We also achieved strong year-over-year growth in sales of electronic security products throughout our major global businesses during the first quarter of 2023. While supply chain challenges and shortages of electronic parts and components persisted during the first quarter of 2023, we continued to realize the benefits from our previous measures taken to address these operational and logistical challenges, such as re-engineering product designs and configurations to accept alternate electronic components and developing new and diverse supplier relationships to improve part and component availability. As a result, our ability to meet the strong demand for our electronic security products continued to improve in both our Allegion Americas and Allegion International segments.
Further, in response to the persistent, elevated levels of inflation, our pricing initiatives continued to drive revenue growth and mitigate the inflationary pressures on our business during the first quarter of 2023. We remain committed to monitoring the inflationary pressures to our businesses and addressing them through pricing initiatives, where appropriate. We expect pricing to continue to mitigate the inflationary pressures on our cost base throughout the remainder of 2023.
Acquisition of plano
On January 3, 2023, we completed an acquisition of the assets of plano. group, a SaaS workforce management solution business based in Germany ("plano"), for initial cash consideration of $36.6 million. Additional consideration may be payable in future periods in the event plano achieves certain specified financial results. Plano has been incorporated into our Allegion International segment.
2023 Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid dividends of $0.45 per ordinary share to shareholders.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented and form the basis used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the business.
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by 27.6%, or $199.4 million, compared with the same period in 2022, due to the following:
Pricing | 10.6 | % | |||
Volume | 4.4 | % | |||
Acquisitions / divestitures | 14.1 | % | |||
Currency exchange rates | (1.5) | % | |||
Total | 27.6 | % |
The increase in Net revenues was driven by improved pricing across our major businesses to address inflationary pressures, the acquisitions of the Access Technologies business and plano and higher volumes in our Allegion Americas segment. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, lower volumes in our Allegion International segment and a prior year divestiture.
Pricing includes increases or decreases of price, including discounts, surcharges and/or other sales deductions, on our existing products and services. As discussed above, the pricing initiatives implemented in response to the persistent, elevated levels of inflation continue to be a key driver in the overall increase in Net revenues. Volume includes increases or decreases of revenue due to changes in unit volume of existing products and services, as well as new products and services.
Operating Income/Margin
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $54.0 million compared to the same period in 2022. Operating margin, which we define as Operating income as a percentage of total Net revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased to 18.5% from 16.2% for the same period in 2022, due to the following:
In millions | Operating Income | Operating Margin | |||||||||
March 31, 2022 | $ | 117.0 | 16.2 | % | |||||||
Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation and investment spending | 34.4 | 2.6 | % | ||||||||
Volume / product mix | 18.8 | 1.8 | % | ||||||||
Restructuring / acquisition expenses | (9.0) | (1.3) | % | ||||||||
Currency exchange rates | (5.6) | (0.6) | % | ||||||||
Acquisitions / divestitures | 15.4 | (0.2) | % | ||||||||
March 31, 2023 | $ | 171.0 | 18.5 | % |
The increase in Operating income was driven by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending, favorable volume/product mix and the contribution to operating income from recent acquisition and divestiture activity. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
17
The increase in Operating margin was driven by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending and favorable volume/product mix. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and the impact to operating margin from recent acquisition and divestiture activity.
Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation and investment spending includes the impact to both Operating income and Operating margin from pricing, as defined above, in addition to productivity, inflation and investment spending. Productivity represents improvements in unit costs of materials, cost reductions related to improvements to our manufacturing design and processes and reductions in selling and administrative expenses due to productivity projects. Inflation includes both unit costs for the current period compared to the average actual cost for the prior period, multiplied by current year volumes, and current period costs of ongoing selling and administrative functions compared to the same ongoing expenses in the prior period. Expenses related to increased head count for strategic initiatives, new facilities or other significant spending for strategic initiatives or new product and channel development, are captured in investment spending.
Volume/product mix represents the impact to both Operating income and Operating margin due to increases or decreases of revenue due to changes in unit volume, including new products and services, including the effect of changes in the mix of products and services sold on Cost of goods sold.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $11.7 million compared with the same period in 2022, primarily due to interest on our 5.411% Senior Notes issued during 2022 and the increase in borrowing under the 2021 Revolving Facility, as well as a higher weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate outstanding indebtedness.
Other Income, Net
The components of Other income, net for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:
In millions | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||
Interest income | $ | (0.7) | $ | (0.1) | |||||||
Foreign currency exchange loss | 1.4 | 1.0 | |||||||||
Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit income, less service cost | — | (2.6) | |||||||||
Other | (1.0) | (0.5) | |||||||||
Other income, net | $ | (0.3) | $ | (2.2) |
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were 16.3% and 13.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2022 is primarily due to a change in the mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
Review of Business Segments
We operate in and report financial results for two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. These segments represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews our financial performance and makes operating decisions.
Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that our chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. For these reasons, we believe that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of Segment profit and loss. Our chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges, to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base our operating decisions. We define Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of the segment’s Net revenues.
The segment discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in results for each segment included in Net earnings. Due to a reporting change effective January 1, 2023, results for our Global Portable Security brands (inclusive of the AXA, Kryptonite and Trelock businesses) are now fully reflected within the Allegion International segment. Accordingly, the summary of operations by reportable segment below for the three months ended March 31, 2022, has been recast to conform with the current year presentation. The impact of this recast was to re-align approximately $6.3 million and $1.3 million of Net revenues and Segment operating income, respectively, from our Allegion Americas segment to our Allegion International segment.

Allegion Americas
Our Allegion Americas segment is a leading provider of security products, services and solutions throughout North America. The segment sells a broad range of products and solutions including locks, locksets, key systems, door controls and systems, exit devices, doors, accessories, electronic security products, access control systems and software and service solutions to customers in commercial, institutional and residential facilities, including the education, healthcare, government, hospitality, retail, commercial office and single and multi-family residential markets. This segment’s primary brands are LCN, Schlage, Von Duprin and Stanley Access Technologies, which we utilize with permission in accordance with the terms of the Access Technologies acquisition agreement ("Stanley" is the property of Stanley Logistics L.L.C.).
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by 42.0%, or $219.0 million, compared to the same period in 2022, due to the following:
Pricing | 12.8 | % | ||||||
Volume | 9.8 | % | ||||||
Acquisitions | 19.8 | % | ||||||
Currency exchange rates | (0.4) | % | ||||||
Total | 42.0 | % |
The increase in Net revenues was driven by significantly improved pricing to address inflationary pressures, higher volumes for our non-residential products and services and the impact of our Access Technologies business acquisition. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
Net revenues from non-residential products (excluding Net revenues from our Access Technologies business, the impact of which is shown in the Acquisitions line above) for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by nearly thirty percent compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by substantially improved pricing to address inflationary pressures and higher volumes. Demand for our non-residential products remained elevated, which along with improvements around the availability of materials and components, contributed to the increase in volumes compared to the same period in the prior year. We currently anticipate demand for our non-residential products to remain solid through the remainder of 2023.
Net revenues from residential products for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by a mid-single digits percent compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by improved pricing to address inflationary pressures, which was partially offset by lower volumes. Given current market conditions around new residential construction and consumer sentiment, we expect continued softness in demand for our mechanical residential products until market conditions improve. However, continued improvements around the supply of electronic parts and components have resulted in strong growth in sales of our residential electronic products, which in part, have helped to offset these temporary market related challenges.
Growth in electronic security products and solutions is a metric that is actively monitored by management and a focus of our investors. Electronic products encompass both residential and non-residential solutions and include all electrified product categories including, but not limited to, electronic and electrified locks, access control systems and electronic and electrified door controls and systems and exit devices. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Net revenues from the sale of electronic products in the Allegion Americas segment increased by greater than thirty percent compared to the same period in the prior year. While we continued to experience delays and shortages of electronic components from key suppliers during the
19
three months ended March 31, 2023, we expect continued growth in Net revenues from the sale of electronic products for the remainder of 2023, given high demand, pricing initiatives and improved component availability relative to 2022.
Operating income/margin
Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $64.0 million compared to the same period in 2022, and Segment operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased to 25.2% from 23.5%, due to the following:
In millions | Operating Income | Operating Margin | ||||||||||||
March 31, 2022 | $ | 122.6 | 23.5 | % | ||||||||||
Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation and investment spending | 37.9 | 3.5 | % | |||||||||||

Acquisition expenses | (9.9) | (1.9) | % | |||||||||||
March 31, 2023 | $ | 186.6 | 25.2 | % |
The increase in Segment operating income was primarily driven by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending, favorable volume/product mix and the contribution to Segment operating income from our Access Technologies business acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in acquisition and integration expenses and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
The increase in Segment operating margin was primarily due to pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending and favorable volume/product mix. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in acquisition and integration expenses, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and the impact to Segment operating margin from our Access Technologies business acquisition.
Allegion International
Our Allegion International segment provides security products, services and solutions primarily throughout Europe, Asia and Oceania. The segment offers end-users a broad range of products, services and solutions including locks, locksets, portable locks, key systems, door closers and systems, exit devices, doors, electronic security products, access control systems, time and attendance and workforce productivity solutions, among other software and service solutions. This segment’s primary brands are AXA, Bricard, Briton, CISA, Gainsborough, Interflex, Kryptonite and SimonsVoss.
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased by 9.7%, or $19.6 million, compared to the same period in 2022, due to the following:
Pricing | 5.0 | % | ||||||
Volume | (9.8) | % | ||||||
Acquisitions / divestitures | (0.5) | % | ||||||
Currency exchange rates | (4.4) | % | ||||||
Total | (9.7) | % |
The decrease in Net revenues was primarily driven by lower volumes, particularly within our Global Portable Security businesses, as the market environment for these products continues to stabilize following a surge in demand during COVID that extended into early 2022. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and the impact from a prior year divestiture, which exceeded the favorable impact from the current year acquisition of plano, also contributed to the decrease in Net revenues. These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing across our major businesses throughout the segment.
Operating income/margin
Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased $10.3 million compared to the same period in 2022, and Segment operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased to 5.8% from 10.4%, due to the following:

The decrease in Segment operating income was primarily driven by unfavorable volume/product mix, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and a year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses. These decreases were partially offset by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending and the favorable impact to Segment operating income from recent acquisition and divestiture activity.
The decrease in Segment operating margin was primarily driven by unfavorable volume/product mix, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, a year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses and the impact to Segment operating margin from inflation and investment spending, which exceeded the impact to Segment operating margin from pricing and productivity improvements. These decreases were partially offset by the favorable impact to Segment operating margin from recent acquisition and divestiture activity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Outlook, Sources and Uses
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities is used to invest in new product development and fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our ability to generate cash from operating activities, our unused borrowing capacity under the 2021 Revolving Facility and our access to the capital and credit markets enable us to fund these capital needs, execute our long-term growth strategies and return value to our shareholders. Further, our business operates with strong operating cash flows, low leverage and low capital intensity, providing financial flexibility, including sufficient access to credit markets.
Our short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, restructuring initiatives, capital spending, dividend payments and principal and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including potential acquisitions, repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations and repurchases of our ordinary shares. Of our total outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2023, approximately 85% incurs fixed-rate interest and is therefore not exposed to the risk of rising variable interest rates.
Based upon our operations, existing cash balances and unused borrowing capacity under the 2021 Revolving Facility, as of March 31, 2023, we expect our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to maintain a sound financial position and liquidity and to meet our current financing needs for at least the next 12 months. Further, we do not anticipate any covenant compliance challenges with any of our outstanding indebtedness for at least the next 12 months. We also believe existing borrowing capacity under the 2021 Credit Facilities, together with financing we believe would be accessible to us in the credit and capital markets, are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the three months ended March 31. For additional details, see the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
In millions | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 69.0 | $ | 20.5 | |||||||
Net cash used in investing activities | (51.4) | (6.3) | |||||||||
Net cash used in financing activities | (15.4) | (104.9) |
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $48.5 million compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by increased Net earnings and changes in working capital.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $45.1 million compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to $36.6 million of cash paid for the plano acquisition and increased capital expenditures related to a new manufacturing facility.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased $89.5 million compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to a reduction of $61.0 million in cash used to repurchase ordinary shares and a $30.0 million draw on the 2021 Revolving Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We are party to an unsecured credit agreement consisting of a $250.0 million term loan facility (the “2021 Term Facility”), of which $234.4 million was outstanding at March 31, 2023, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2021 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2021 Term Facility, the “2021 Credit Facilities”), of which $99.0 million was outstanding at March 31, 2023. The 2021 Credit Facilities mature on November 18, 2026.
The 2021 Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting March 31, 2022 through March 31, 2025, 2.5% per quarter starting June 30, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with the balance due on November 18, 2026. We repaid $3.1 million of principal on the 2021 Term Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Principal amounts repaid on the 2021 Term Facility may not be reborrowed. The 2021 Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, including up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. We had $13.4 million of letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2023. Borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option equal to either: (i) a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.875% to 1.375% depending on our credit ratings. At March 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrued interest at BSBY plus a margin of 1.125%, resulting in an interest rate of 6.019%. The 2021 Credit Facilities also contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the 2021 Credit Facilities require us to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined within the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the credit agreement.
As of March 31, 2023, Allegion US Hold Co has $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”), $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes”) and $600.0 million outstanding of its 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "5.411% Senior Notes"), while Allegion plc has $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “3.500% Senior Notes”, and all four senior notes collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 3.500% Senior Notes all require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year and will mature on October 1, 2024, October 1, 2027 and October 1, 2029, respectively. The 5.411% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning January 1, 2023, and will mature on July 1, 2032.
Historically, the majority of our earnings were considered to be permanently reinvested in jurisdictions where we have made, and intend to continue to make, substantial investments to support the ongoing development and growth of our global operations. At March 31, 2023, we analyzed our working capital requirements and the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if certain subsidiaries made distributions and concluded that no material changes to our historic permanent reinvestment assertions are required.
Defined Benefit Plans
Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contributions and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. Global asset allocation decisions are based on a dynamic approach whereby a plan’s allocation to fixed income assets increases as the funded status increases. We monitor plan funded status, asset allocation and the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans regularly in
22
addition to investment manager performance. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 9 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The guarantee of the 3.500% Senior Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of Allegion US Hold Co and ranks equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Each guarantee is effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of the Guarantor, none of which guarantee the notes. The obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and, therefore, are limited to the amount that the Guarantor could guarantee without such Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance; this limitation, however, may not be effective to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance. If the Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, the Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. In such an event, the notes would be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Guarantor.
For further details, terms and conditions of the Senior Notes refer to the Company’s Forms 8-K filed October 2, 2017, September 27, 2019, and June 22, 2022.
The following tables present the summarized financial information specified in Rule 1-02(bb)(1) of Regulation S-X for each issuer and guarantor. The summarized financial information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2023, to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our consolidated financial statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "outlook," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar expressions generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. While we believe that our assumptions, expectations and projections are reasonable in view of the currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond our control – as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections including, among other things:
•ongoing macroeconomic challenges and continued economic instability;
•increased prices and inflation;
•volatility and uncertainty in the political, economic and regulatory environments in which we operate, including changes to trade agreements, sanctions, import and export regulations, custom duties and applicable tax regulations and interpretations, social and political unrest, instability, national and international conflict, terrorist acts and other geographical disputes and uncertainties;
•the strength and stability of the institutional, commercial and residential construction and remodeling markets;
24
•fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
•potential impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or our long-lived assets;
•instability in the U.S. and global capital and credit markets;
•our ability to make scheduled debt payments or to refinance our debt obligations;
•increased competition, including from technological developments;
•the development, commercialization and acceptance of new products and services;
•changes in customer and consumer preferences and our ability to maintain beneficial relationships with large customers;
•our products or solutions failing to meet certification and specification requirements, being defective, causing property damage, bodily harm or injury, or otherwise falling short of customers’ needs and expectations;
•our ability to identify and successfully complete and integrate acquisitions, including achieving their anticipated strategic and financial benefits;
•business opportunities that diverge from our core business;
•our ability to achieve the expected improvements or financial returns we expect from our strategic initiatives;
•our ability to effectively manage and implement restructuring initiatives or other organizational changes;
•global climate change or other unexpected events, including global health crises, such as COVID-19;
•the proper functioning of our information technology and operational technology systems, including disruption or breaches of our information systems, such as cybersecurity attacks;
•the failure of our third-party vendors to provide effective support for many of the critical elements of our global information and operational technology infrastructure;
•our ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce;
•disruptions in our global supply chain, including product manufacturing and logistical services provided by our supplier partners;
•our ability to effectively manage real or perceived issues related to product quality, safety, corporate social responsibility and other reputational matters;
•our ability to protect our brand reputation and trademarks;
•legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements imposed against us or our assets as a result of legal proceedings, claims and disputes;
•claims of infringement of intellectual property rights by third parties;
•improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners;
•changes to, or changes in interpretations of, current laws and regulations;
•uncertainty and inherent subjectivity related to transfer pricing regulations in the countries in which we operate;
•changes in tax rates, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities; and
•risks related to our incorporation in Ireland, including the possible effects on us of future legislation or adverse determinations by taxing authorities that could increase our tax burden.
These events, risks and uncertainties are described more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. There may also be other factors that have not been anticipated or that are not described in our periodic filings with the SEC, generally because we did not believe them to be significant at the time, which could cause actual results to differ materially from our projections and expectations. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2023, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded,
25
processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
