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, 2023. 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
2024
On February 1, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired 100% of Boss Door Controls, a door solutions provider in the United Kingdom. Boss Door Controls is reported in the Company's Allegion International segment.
On March 4, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired 100% of Montajes electronicos Dorcas S.L. ("Dorcas"), a leading manufacturer of electromechanical access control solutions based in Spain. Dorcas is reported in the Company's Allegion International segment.
On June 3, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired 100% of Krieger Specialty Products, LLC ("Krieger"), a leading manufacturer of high-performance special purpose doors and windows based in the United States. Krieger is reported in the Company's Allegion Americas segment.
On June 10, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired 100% of Unicel Architectural Corp. ("Unicel"), a leading manufacturer of advanced glass, timber and aluminum building solutions based in Canada. Unicel is reported in the Company's Allegion Americas segment.
Acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and were funded with available cash on hand. Initial aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions was approximately $121.2 million (net of cash acquired). Additional consideration may be payable in the future in the event certain financial metrics are achieved.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price, which includes initial cash consideration and the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the respective acquisition dates:
| In millions | |||||
| Net working capital | $ | ||||
| Property, plant and equipment | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Intangible assets | |||||
| Other noncurrent liabilities | ( | ||||
| Total net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | ||||
The valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed had not yet been finalized as of September 30, 2024, and finalization of the valuations during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded. The completion of the valuations will occur no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates as required by GAAP.
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. The majority of the goodwill related to these acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Unsecured Credit Facilities
The Company has an unsecured credit agreement consisting of a $250.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), of which $215.6 million was outstanding at September 30, 2024, and a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), of which no balance was outstanding at September 30, 2024. The Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by Allegion plc, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Allegion (Ireland) Finance Designated Activity Company (“Allegion Ireland DAC”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Term Facility requires quarterly principal payments through its maturity on November 18, 2026. Future payments total $3.1 million for the remainder of 2024, $21.9 million due in 2025, and $190.6 million due in 2026. The Company repaid $9.4 million of principal on the Term Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Revolving Facility matures on May 20, 2029 and includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company had $18.5 million of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company, equal to either: (i) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") 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 September 30, 2024, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrued interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.225 %, resulting in an interest

rate of 6.070 %. The 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 Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the credit agreement.
Senior Notes

The 5.600 % Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 29 and November 29, beginning November 29, 2024, and mature on May 29, 2034. The Company repaid the 3.200 % Senior Notes on October 1, 2024.
The 3.550 % Senior Notes, 5.411 % Senior Notes, and 5.600 % 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.

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Currency Hedging Instruments
The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $221.8 million and $175.4 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges did not have a material impact to either Net earnings or Other comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, nor is the amount to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months expected to be material. At September 30, 2024, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was less than one year.
Concentration of Credit Risk
NOTE 8 - LEASES
Total rental expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $48.3 million and $47.6 million, respectively, and is classified within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Rental expense related to short-term leases, variable lease payments or other leases or lease components not included within the right of use ("ROU") asset or lease liability totaled $12.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. No material lease costs have been capitalized on the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
The Company assesses the specific terms and conditions of each lease to determine the appropriate classification as either an operating or finance lease and the lease term. Substantially all of the Company's leases for which the Company is a lessee are classified as operating leases.
As a lessee, the Company categorizes its leases into two general categories: real estate leases and equipment leases. Amounts included within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability for both real estate and equipment leases were as follows:

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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024, were as follows:
| Fair value measurements | Total fair value | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| In millions | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Total debt | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Total financial instruments not carried at fair value | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
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 Credit Facilities and Senior Notes maturing through 2034. 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 September 30, 2024, are the same as those used as of December 31, 2023. 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 $66.8 million and $65.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, 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 and nine months ended September 30:

Stock Options / RSUs
Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. Grants issued during the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Number granted | Weighted- average fair value per award | Number granted | Weighted- average fair value per award | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock options | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
| RSUs | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||
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 nine months ended September 30:
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||
| Dividend yield | % | % | |||||||||
| Volatility | % | % | |||||||||
| Risk-free rate of return | % | % | |||||||||
| Expected life (years) | |||||||||||
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 Units
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.1 million shares. In February 2022, 2023 and 2024, 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, for 2022 and 2023, the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over a three-year performance period, and for 2024 a 50/50 blend of the S&P 400 Capitals Goods Index and the S&P 500 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 14 - INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were 10.5 % and 8.1 %, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2023 is primarily due to the enactment of global minimum tax in 2024, the unfavorable year over year change in the amounts recognized for uncertain tax positions and the unfavorable mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were 15.5 % and 12.1 %, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2023 is primarily due to the enactment of global minimum tax in 2024, the unfavorable year over year change in the amounts recognized for uncertain tax positions and the unfavorable mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.
NOTE 15 - 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 and nine months ended September 30:
| Three months ended | Nine months ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Weighted-average number of basic shares | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shares issuable under share-based compensation plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Weighted-average number of diluted shares | |||||||||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2024 and 2023, 0.3 million and 0.6 million stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 16 - NET REVENUES
The following tables show the Company’s Net revenues related to both tangible product sales and services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, disaggregated by business segment:

| Total Net revenues | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract assets related to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed were not 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities related to revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations totaled $34.2 million and $27.2 million, respectively, and are classified as Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets. A majority of the contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months.
NOTE 17 - 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had reserves for environmental matters of $18.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively. The total reserve at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, included $10.1 million and $11.2 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $2.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and the remainder was classified as noncurrent. Expenses related to environmental remediation were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

NOTE 18 - 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, the chief executive officer, 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.
A summary of operations by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows:

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 September 30, 2024, increased by 5.4%, or $49.2 million, compared with the same period in 2023, due to the following:
| Pricing | 1.8 | % | |||
| Volume | 1.5 | % | |||
| Acquisitions | 1.9 | % | |||
| Currency exchange rates | 0.2 | % | |||
| Total | 5.4 | % | |||
The increase in Net revenues was driven by improved pricing, higher volumes, the acquisitions made during the year, and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
Pricing includes increases or decreases of price, including discounts, surcharges and/or other sales deductions, on our existing products and services. 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 September 30, 2024, increased $21.9 million compared to the same period in 2023. Operating margin, which we define as Operating income as a percentage of total Net revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased to 22.2% from 21.0% for the same period in 2023, due to the following:
| In millions | Operating Income | Operating Margin | |||||||||
| September 30, 2023 | $ | 193.1 | 21.0 | % | |||||||
| Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation and investment spending | 6.9 | 0.4 | % | ||||||||
| Volume / product mix | 6.9 | 0.4 | % | ||||||||
| Acquisitions | 4.1 | 0.1 | % | ||||||||
| Currency exchange rates | 2.5 | 0.1 | % | ||||||||
| Acquisition / integration/ restructuring expenses | 1.5 | 0.2 | % | ||||||||
| September 30, 2024 | $ | 215.0 | 22.2 | % | |||||||
The increase in Operating income and Operating margin was driven by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending, favorable volume/product mix, the contribution to operating income from recent acquisition activity, favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and lower acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses.
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
18
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 September 30, 2024, increased $5.9 million compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher outstanding indebtedness compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other Income, net
The components of Other (income) expense, net for the three months ended September 30 were as follows:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||
| Interest income | $ | (8.3) | $ | (1.5) | |||||||
Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss | (0.5) | 1.1 | |||||||||
| Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost | — | 0.4 | |||||||||
| Other expense | 0.4 | 0.1 | |||||||||
| Other (income) expense, net | $ | (8.4) | $ | 0.1 | |||||||
The increase in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023 is due to higher cash on hand and higher interest rates earned on deposits.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were 10.5% and 8.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2023 is primarily due to the enactment of global minimum tax in 2024, the unfavorable year over year change in the amounts recognized for uncertain tax positions and the unfavorable mix of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

The increase in Net revenues was driven by improved pricing across our major businesses, acquisitions made during the year, and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, which was partially offset by lower volumes.
Operating Income/Margin
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $47.4 million compared to the same period in 2023. Operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased to 21.1% from 19.9% for the same period in 2023, due to the following:
| In millions | Operating Income | Operating Margin | |||||||||
| September 30, 2023 | $ | 548.7 | 19.9 | % | |||||||
| Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation and investment spending | 52.5 | 1.3 | % | ||||||||

| Acquisition / integration/ restructuring expenses | 4.2 | 0.2 | % | ||||||||
| September 30, 2024 | $ | 596.1 | 21.1 | % | |||||||
The increase in Operating income and Operating margin was driven by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of inflation and investment spending, the contribution to operating income from recent acquisition activity and lower acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable volume/product mix and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $6.6 million compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher outstanding indebtedness compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other Income, net
The components of Other (income) expense, net for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||
| Interest income | $ | (16.9) | $ | (3.4) | |||||||
| Foreign currency exchange loss | 0.3 | 2.8 | |||||||||
| Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost | — | 0.5 | |||||||||
| Other income | (0.6) | (1.7) | |||||||||
| Other income, net | $ | (17.2) | $ | (1.8) | |||||||
The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023 is due to higher cash on hand and higher interest rates earned on deposits.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were 15.5% and 12.1%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate compared to 2023 is primarily due to the enactment of global minimum tax in 2024, the unfavorable year over year change in the amounts recognized for uncertain tax positions and the unfavorable 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.

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 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 September 30, 2024, approximately 91% 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 Revolving Facility, as of September 30, 2024, 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 Revolving Facility, 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 nine months ended September 30. For additional details, see the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 456.0 | $ | 381.1 | |||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (190.2) | (83.4) | |||||||||
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 147.3 | (219.9) | |||||||||
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $74.9 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by higher net earnings and lower cash used for working capital.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $106.8 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to cash used for acquisitions and higher capital expenditures.
Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $367.2 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of the 5.600% Senior Notes. The increase was partially offset by an increase in the cash used to repurchase shares compared to the same period in 2023. Proceeds from the issuance of the 5.600% Senior Notes were used to repay the 3.200% Senior Notes on October 1, 2024.

We have an unsecured credit agreement consisting of a $250.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), of which $215.6 million was outstanding at September 30, 2024, and a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), of which no balance was outstanding at September 30, 2024. The Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by Allegion plc, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Allegion (Ireland) Finance Designated Activity Company (“Allegion Ireland DAC”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Term Facility requires quarterly principal payments through its maturity on November 18, 2026. Future payments total $3.1 million for the remainder of 2024, $21.9 million due in 2025, and $190.6 million due in 2026. We repaid $9.4 million of principal on the Term Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Revolving Facility matures on May 20, 2029 and includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. We had $18.5 million of letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company, equal to either: (i) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") 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 September 30, 2024, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrued interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.225%, resulting in an interest rate of 6.070%. The 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 Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the credit agreement.
As of September 30, 2024, 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”), $600.0 million outstanding of its 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "5.411% Senior Notes") and $400.0 million outstanding of its 5.600% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "5.600% 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 five senior notes collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The 3.550% Senior Notes and 3.500% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year and will mature on 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 5.600% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 29 and November 29, beginning November 29, 2024, and mature on May 29, 2034. We repaid the 3.200% Senior Notes on October 1, 2024.
The 3.550% Senior Notes, 5.411% Senior Notes, and 5.600% 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 3.550% Senior Notes, the 5.411% Senior Notes and the 5.600% 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.

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 September 30, 2024, 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 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, 2023.
Guarantor Financial Information
Allegion US Hold Co is or was, as applicable, the issuer of the 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes, 5.411% Senior Notes, and 5.600% Senior Notes and is the guarantor of the 3.500% Senior Notes. Allegion plc (the “Parent”) is or was, as applicable, the issuer of the 3.500% Senior Notes and is or was, as applicable, the guarantor of the 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes, 5.411% Senior Notes, and 5.600% Senior Notes. Allegion US Hold Co is directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent and each of the guarantees of Allegion US Hold Co and the Parent is full and unconditional and joint and several.
The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes, 5.411% Senior Notes, and 5.600% Senior Notes are or were, as applicable, 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, 3.550% Senior Notes, 5.411% Senior Notes, and 5.600% Senior Notes is or was, as applicable, the senior unsecured obligation of the Parent and ranks equally with all of the Parent’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 3.500% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Parent and rank equally with all of the Parent’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. 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 applicable 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 applicable guarantor, none of which guarantee the notes. The obligations of the applicable 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 applicable 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 applicable guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, the applicable 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 applicable 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 June 22, 2022, and May 29, 2024.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, 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, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 under the paragraph "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Since the date of the Company's most recent Annual Report, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our condensed and 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;
•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;
28
•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, 2023. 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, except as required by applicable law.
Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the third quarter of 2024. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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 September 30, 2024, 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, 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 third quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1) In June 2023, our Board of Directors reauthorized the Company’s ordinary existing share repurchase program and, as a result, authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s ordinary shares under the program. The share repurchase program does not have a prescribed expiration date and does not oblige the Company to acquire any particular amount of the Company's ordinary shares. Share repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market, accelerated stock repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and manner of any share repurchase and the actual number of ordinary shares repurchased will be determined at the discretion of management based on a variety of factors, including, among others, the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other general market and economic conditions. The Board of Directors may suspend, modify, or terminate the repurchase program at any time without prior notice.
