Full-Year Outlook Highlights

growth, reported EPS, adjusted EPS and available cash flow
Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global security products
and solutions provider, today reported financial results for its
first quarter (ended March 31, 2024).
“Allegion’s Q1 performance sets a solid foundation for the
year,” said John H. Stone, Allegion President and CEO. “Our team is
executing at a high level and expanded margins in the quarter.
Additionally, we are very proud to have earned a 2024 Gallup
Exceptional Workplace Award for having one of the most engaged
workforces in the world.”
“Continuing Allegion’s history of balanced capital allocation,
we acquired Boss Door Controls and Dorcas in the quarter, while
also returning cash to our shareholders in dividends and share
repurchases.”
“Institutional markets remain healthy, our company is performing
well, and we’re affirming our full-year 2024 guidance.”
Company Results
(All comparisons against the first quarter of 2023, unless
otherwise noted)
Allegion reported first-quarter 2024 net revenues of $893.9
million and net earnings of $123.8 million, or $1.41 per share.
Adjusted net earnings were $136.9 million, or $1.55 per share, down
1.9%, excluding charges related to restructuring, acquisition and
integration costs, as well as amortization expense related to
acquired intangible assets.
First-quarter 2024 net revenues decreased 3.2%. Net revenues
decreased 3.6% on an organic basis, excluding impacts of
acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency movements. The
reported revenue reflects a modest positive impact from foreign
currency and acquisitions.
First-quarter 2024 operating income was $172.1 million, an
increase of $1.1 million or 0.6%. Adjusted operating income in
first-quarter 2024 was $189.3 million, a decrease of $3.1 million
or 1.6%.
First-quarter 2024 operating margin was 19.3%, compared with
18.5%. The adjusted operating margin in first-quarter 2024 was
21.2%, compared with 20.8%. The 40-basis-point increase in adjusted
operating margin is attributable to positive price and productivity
net of inflation and investments. These increases were partially
offset by lower volumes.
Segment Results
(All comparisons against the first quarter of 2023, unless
otherwise noted)
The Americas segment revenues were down 4.3% (down 4.3% on an
organic basis). Favorable price offset volume declines, against a
tough prior-year comparison of 22.6% organic growth. 2023 had a
seasonally stronger first quarter than normal due to previously
experienced supply chain disruptions and recoveries. The Americas
non-residential business was down mid-single digits and up more
than 20% on a two-year stack. The residential business continues to
be soft and experienced a low-single digit decline.
The International segment revenues increased 1.4% (down 0.8% on
an organic basis). Positive price realization was more than offset
by the impact of soft end markets. The reported revenue reflects a
positive impact from foreign currency and acquisitions.
Additional Items
(All comparisons against the first quarter of 2023, unless
otherwise noted)
Interest expense for first-quarter 2024 was $22.9 million, a
decrease of $0.7 million.
Other income, net for first-quarter 2024 was $3.7 million,
compared to other income, net of $0.3 million.
The company’s effective tax rate for first-quarter 2024 was
19.0%, compared with 16.3%. The company’s adjusted effective tax
rate for first-quarter 2024 was 19.5%, compared with 17.4%.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Year-to-date available cash flow for 2024 was $23.9 million, a
decrease of $22.8 million versus the prior-year period. The company
ended first-quarter 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $391.8
million, as well as total debt of $2,013.3 million.
Share Repurchase and Dividends
In the first quarter of 2024, the company repurchased
approximately 0.3 million shares for approximately $40 million and
paid quarterly dividends of $0.48 per ordinary share or $42.1
million.
Affirmed Full-Year Outlook
(All comparisons against full-year 2023, unless otherwise
noted)
The company affirms its previously disclosed full-year 2024
outlook: Full-year 2024 revenues are expected to increase 1.5% to
3.5% on a reported basis and increase 1% to 3% organically, after
excluding the expected impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and
foreign currency movements.
Full-year 2024 reported EPS is expected to be in the range of
$6.45 to $6.60, or $7.00 to $7.15 on an adjusted basis. The outlook
assumes a headwind of approximately $0.37 based on a full-year
adjusted effective tax rate of 18% to 19%, inclusive of the
estimated impacts of global minimum tax.
Adjustments to 2024 EPS include estimated impacts of
approximately $0.46 per share for acquisition-related amortization,
as well as $0.09 per share for restructuring and M&A.
The outlook assumes an average diluted share count for the full
year of approximately 88 million shares.
The company expects full-year available cash flow of
approximately $540 to $570 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release includes adjusted non-GAAP financial
information which should be considered supplemental to, not a
substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP. The company presents operating income,
operating margin, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an
adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, revenue growth on a U.S. GAAP basis and
organic revenue growth on a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted EBITDA margin (all non-GAAP measures) and Available
Cash Flow (“ACF,” a non-GAAP measure), including in certain cases,
on a segment basis. The company presents these non-GAAP measures
because management believes these non-GAAP measures provide
management and investors useful perspective of the company’s
underlying business results and trends and a more comparable
measure of period-over-period results. These measures are also used
to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining
at-risk compensation. Investors should not consider non-GAAP
measures as alternatives to the related U.S. GAAP measures. Further
information about the adjusted non-GAAP financial tables is
attached to this news release. The 2024 Full Year Outlook contains
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been
adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial
statements. When we provide forward-looking outlooks for any of the
various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide
reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to
predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of
the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP
adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because
they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events
that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we
are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without
unreasonable efforts.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "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, including, but not limited to,
statements under the headings “Full-Year Outlook Highlights”,
“Affirmed Full-Year Outlook” and statements regarding the company's
2024 and future financial performance, the company’s business plans
and strategy, the company’s growth strategy, the company’s capital
allocation strategy, the company’s ability to successfully complete
and integrate acquisitions and achieve anticipated strategic and
financial benefits and the performance of the markets in which the
company operates. These forward-looking statements generally are
identified by the words “believe,” “aim,” “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. Forward-looking statements may relate to such matters
as projections of revenue, margins, expenses, tax rate and
provisions, earnings, cash flows, benefit obligations, dividends,
share purchases or other financial items; any statements of the
plans, strategies and objectives of management for future
operations, including those relating to any statements concerning
expected development, performance or market share relating to our
products and services; any statements regarding future economic
conditions or our performance; any statements regarding pending
investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation
or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the
foregoing. Undue reliance should not be placed on any
forward-looking statements, as these statements are based on the
company's currently available information and our current
assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. They
are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of
which are beyond the company’s control - as well as potentially
inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important
factors and other risks that may affect the company's business or
that could cause actual results to differ materially are included
in filings the company makes with the Securities and Exchange
Commission from time to time, including its Annual Report on Form
10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its other SEC
filings. All forward-looking statements in this press release are
expressly qualified by such cautionary statements and by reference
to the underlying assumptions. The company undertakes no obligation
to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
law.

The Company presents operating income,
operating margin, net earnings and diluted earnings per share (EPS)

revenue growth on a U.S. GAAP basis and organic revenue growth on a
non-GAAP basis, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin
(all non-GAAP measures), and available cash flow ("ACF", a non-GAAP
measure). The Company presents these non-GAAP measures because
management believes they provide useful perspective of the
Company’s underlying business results and trends and a more
comparable measure of period-over-period results. These measures

indefinite-lived trade name and other asset impairment charges,
restructuring charges, acquisition and integration costs,

gains or losses related to the divestiture of businesses or equity
method investments and non-operating investment gains or
losses;
- Organic revenue growth is defined as U.S. GAAP revenue growth
excluding the impact of divestitures, acquisitions and currency
effects; and
- ACF is defined as U.S. GAAP net cash from operating activities
less capital expenditures.
These non-GAAP measures may not be defined and calculated
the same as similar measures used by other companies.
