ALLEGION PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 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 United States of America ("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, 2016. 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 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." This update addresses the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Previously, GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. In addition, interpretations of this guidance have developed in practice over the years for transfers of certain intangible and tangible assets. The amendments in the update will require recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to early adopt on January 1, 2017. As a result, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a cumulative effect within retained earnings of $5.0 million with an offset to other current assets and other noncurrent assets.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles– Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment." The amended guidance simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by eliminating the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt on October 1, 2017 and will apply the new standard, if applicable, to our annual impairment test on goodwill as of October 1, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). ASC 606 is a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The model is based on changes in contract assets (rights to receive consideration) and liabilities (obligations to provide a good or perform a service). Revenue is recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations, which occurs when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. ASC 606
contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption ("modified retrospective method"). This guidance will be effective for the Company January 1, 2018. The FASB has also issued the following standards which clarify ASU 2014-09 and have the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2016-20, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Technical Corrections and Improvements, ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients and ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The Company has completed an assessment of the new standard’s impact and a technical assessment of material customer contracts. The Company will choose the modified retrospective method upon adoption in 2018. The adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company's condensed and consolidated

(Unaudited)


statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. The Company will expand the condensed and consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with ASU 2014-09.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, these arrangements will be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, although we currently plan to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is continuing to assess what impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the condensed and consolidated financial statements; however, the Company anticipates that this adoption will result in a significant gross-up of assets and liabilities on its condensed and consolidated balance sheets and will require changes to its systems and processes.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2016-15 will have on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the statement of comprehensive income separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of operating income. ASU 2017-07 also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The amendments allow a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. Upon adoption, the Company intends to apply these practical expedients for prior period presentation. The Company does not believe the adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on the Company's condensed and consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 addresses previous limitations on how an entity can designate the hedged risk in certain cash flow and fair value hedging relationships by expanding and refining hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligning the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption, which includes a cumulative-effect adjustment to eliminate any ineffectiveness recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which adoption occurred. Presentation and disclosure amendments are required to be applied prospectively. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2017-12 will have on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 – Acquisitions

On January 3, 2017, the Company acquired Republic Doors & Frames, LLC through one of its subsidiaries. In 2016, we completed one business acquisition (Trelock GmbH). These acquisitions did not have a material impact on the condensed and consolidated financial statements.


Note 7 – Divestitures

On April 5, 2017, iDevices LLC, including the Company's equity investment, was acquired by a third party. The Company recorded a $4.9 million gain in the second quarter of 2017 within Other (income) expense, net.

As previously disclosed, the Company sold a majority stake of Bocom Wincent Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Systems Integration") in the fourth quarter of 2015, retaining 15% of the shares. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company was to receive consideration of up to $75 million based on the future cash collection performance of Systems Integration and additional payments of approximately $8.3 million related to working capital transferred with the sale.  In the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a charge of $84.4 million to write the carrying value of Systems Integration's assets and liabilities down to their estimated fair value less costs to complete the transaction. As of September 30, 2017, the Company currently estimates the fair value of the consideration to be $2.7 million, which is classified within Other noncurrent assets within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not expect to incur any material charges in future periods related to Systems Integration.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

On September 12, 2017, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which refinanced in full the Company's previously outstanding credit facility, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2015 (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility maturing on September 12, 2022 (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on September 12, 2022 (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). All obligations under the Second Amended Credit Agreement were satisfied, all commitments thereunder were terminated, and all guarantees and security interests that had been granted in connection therewith were released.

The full amount of the Term Facility was drawn at closing. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The proceeds from the Term Facility along with the initial borrowings of $165.0 million under the Revolving Facility were used primarily to repay the then outstanding borrowing under the Second Amended Credit Agreement. The Term

Facility will amortize in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022.

The Revolving Facility consists of a five-year revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $500.0 million, of which up to $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and including a swingline facility in an amount equal to $50.0 million. Certain of the commitments under the Revolving Facility are available to be drawn in currencies other than US dollars, including euros and pounds sterling. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. As discussed further below, the Company repaid in full the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility on October 2, 2017, with proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes due 2024 and 2027 on the same date.

The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by Allegion plc and Allegion US Holding Company.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities will accrue interest, at the option of the Borrowers, at a per annum rate of (i) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Facilities is subject to a ratings-based pricing grid with the margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.500% depending on the Borrowers’ credit ratings.

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility currently accrue interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The margin for the Term Facility borrowing was 1.25% as of September 30, 2017.

The Borrower will pay certain fees with respect to the Credit Facilities, including an unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility of between 0.125% and 0.200%, depending on the Borrowers’ credit rating, as well as certain other fees.

During the three month period ending September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a non-cash charge of approximately $0.4 million associated with the write-off of previously unamortized deferred financing costs on the Second Amended Credit Agreement, expensed $1.2 million of third party costs to Interest expense, and recorded deferred financing costs of $2.6 million as part of the new Credit Facilities transaction which will be amortized over the duration of the Credit Facilities.

To manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR rates, the Company has forward starting interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate paid during the contract period for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate Term Facility. These swaps expire in September 2020.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had $18.0 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Senior Notes

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has issued $300.0 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "2021 Senior Notes"). The 2021 Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2021 Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2021.

In September 2015, Allegion plc issued $300.0 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes"). The 2023 Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2016. The 2023 Senior Notes mature on September 15, 2023.

On October 2, 2017, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. (“Allegion US Holding”), a subsidiary of Allegion plc (“Allegion”), issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027.
On October 3, 2017 Allegion US Holding used the net proceeds of the offering to redeem in full the Company’s 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 and to redeem in full the Company’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023, pay the related redemption premiums of approximately $33.0 million (will be recorded in Interest expense), and fees of approximately $7.4 million related to the Senior Notes due 2024 and 2027, of which half will be deferred over 7 years and half over 10 years and amortized into interest expense. The Company will also have a loss related to the write off of unamortized debt issue costs from previous issuances of approximately $9.4 million (will be recorded in Interest expense). In addition, on October 2, 2017, the Company repaid in full the borrowings under the Revolving Facility and used the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The Company recorded approximately $7.4 million of deferred debt issue costs related to the Senior Notes due 2024 and 2027, of which $2.3 million was recorded as of September 30, 2017, and $5.1 million was recorded in October 2017.

The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings was 2.95% under the Term Loan Facility (including the effect of interest rate swaps) at September 30, 2017, 5.75% under the 2021 Senior Notes and 5.875% under the 2023 Senior Notes.


Note 9 – Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest and currency rate exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, a cash flow hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or as an undesignated derivative. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.

The fair market value of derivative instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.

The Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be a highly effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
Currency Hedging Instruments
The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $85.2 million and $132.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, a loss of $0.5 million and a gain of $0.8 million, net of tax, were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a loss of $0.5 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At September 30, 2017, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was less than one year.
Interest Rate Swaps
To manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR rates, the Company has forward starting interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate paid during the contract period for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate Term Facility. These swaps expire in September 2020.
These interest rate swaps met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, gains of $2.4 million and $2.6 million, net of tax, were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these interest rate swaps. No gains are expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts and swaps 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 present no significant credit risk to the Company.

Note 10 – Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees.
Pension Plans
The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key employees.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurement
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:
Currency derivatives – These instruments include foreign currency contracts for non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts are determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.

13

ALLEGION PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)


Interest rate swaps – These instruments include interest rate swap contracts for up to $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate debt. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on quoted prices for the Company's swaps, which are not considered an active market.
Deferred compensation plans - These include obligations related to deferred compensation adjusted for market performance. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
Debt – These securities are recorded at cost and include debt instruments maturing through 2024. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 are the same as those used at December 31, 2016. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its financial statements. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred compensation.

The fair value of each of the Company's stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date.

The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the nine months ended September 30:
 
2017
 
2016
Dividend yield
0.89

28.85
%
Risk-free rate of return
2.08
%
 
1.38
%
Expected life
6.0 years

 
6.0 years


Expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the implied volatility of a group of the Company’s peers due to the lack of trading history for the Company's ordinary shares. 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 life of the award. Historical peer data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company’s valuation model. 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 Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary

18

ALLEGION PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)


shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.1 million shares.

In February 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted PSUs that were based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by earnings per share ("EPS") performance in relation to pre-established targets set by the Compensation Committee, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return ("TSR") against the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over a three-year performance period based on the change in the 30 day average price for the grant year index to the 30 day average price for the index over the performance period. The fair values of the market condition were estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.

Deferred Compensation

The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.

Note 16 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 19.6% and 90.5%. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by $84.4 million (before and after-tax) primarily due to the write-down of the carrying value of consideration receivable related to the September 2015 divestiture of our Systems Integration business in China. Excluding this write-down, the effective tax rate increased due to unfavorable changes in the mix of income earned in higher rate jurisdictions.

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 16.7% and 26.5%. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by a favorable benefit of vesting and exercise of share based compensation awards and a favorable benefit resulting from the release of valuation allowances, which are partially offset by unfavorable changes in the mix of income earned in higher rate jurisdictions. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by $84.4 million (before and after-tax) primarily due to the write-down of the carrying value of consideration receivable related to the September 2015 divestiture of our Systems Integration business in China.

Note 17 – 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.

Note 18 – Business Segment Information

The Company classifies its businesses into the following three reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Americas, EMEIA and Asia Pacific.

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 the Company's operating decisions. The Company defines Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of Net revenues.

Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigations, 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

The Company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities. The Company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to, or in replacement of, those currently utilized by the Company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes. Changes to the Company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves.

The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and from time to time receives notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal.

In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based

22

ALLEGION PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)


on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.8 million of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $2.0 million and $6.8 million of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by it.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $29.0 million and $30.6 million. Of the total reserve, $8.8 million and $9.6 million relate to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $12.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, and the remainder is classified as non-current. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Warranty Liability

Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.

The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

Note 20 – Guarantor Financial Information

Allegion US Holding Company, Inc. ("Allegion US Holding") is the issuer of the 2021 Senior Notes and a guarantor of the 2023 Senior Notes. Allegion plc is the issuer of the 2023 Senior Notes and a guarantor of the 2021 Senior Notes. Schlage Lock Company LLC and Von Duprin LLC (together, the “Other Subsidiary Guarantors”) are guarantors of the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Senior Notes. The following condensed and consolidated financial information of Allegion plc, Allegion US Holding, the Other Subsidiary Guarantors and the other Allegion subsidiaries that are not guarantors (the “Other Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, is being presented in order to meet the reporting requirements under the 2021 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes indentures and Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X, separate financial statements for Allegion plc, Allegion US Holding and the Other Subsidiary Guarantors are not required to be filed with the SEC, as the subsidiary debt issuer and the guarantors are directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

As disclosed within Note 8, the 2021 and 2023 Senior Notes were redeemed by the respective issuers on October 3, 2017. On October 2, 2017, Allegion US Holding issued Senior Notes due 2024 and Senior Notes due 2027 (together the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed by Allegion plc (the “Guarantor”) pursuant to an Indenture dated October 2, 2017, and are jointly, severally, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Guarantor.
The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company's current and future subsidiaries presented in this periodic report, although the Notes are the direct obligations of Allegion US Holding. As a result, the guarantor financial information presented under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X included in this periodic report does not reflect the guarantor structure of the Notes. In future periodic filings beginning with the Company's 2017 consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, the condensed and consolidating financial information presented below will be modified to present the guarantor financial information consistent with the guarantor structure of the Notes. Specifically, the “Allegion US Holding” column will be labeled as the “Issuer”, the “Allegion plc” column will be labeled as the “Guarantor” and the “Other Subsidiary Guarantors” column will be combined with the “Other Subsidiaries” column and be labeled “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”. Consolidating adjustments will also be modified to eliminate previously disclosed activity between the subsidiary guarantors and the other subsidiaries as applicable.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.2 million compared with the same period of 2016 primarily due to $1.6 million of costs associated with the refinancing of our credit facilities, which closed during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Loss on Divestitures
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 we did not have any loss on divestitures. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 we recorded an after tax charge of $84.4 million primarily due to the write-down of the carrying value of consideration receivable related to the September 2015 divestiture of our security system integration business in China.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 19.6% and 90.5%. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by $84.4 million (before and after-tax) primarily due to the write-down of the carrying value of consideration receivable related to the September 2015 divestiture of our Systems Integration business in China. Excluding this write-down, the effective tax rate increased due to unfavorable changes in the mix of income earned in higher rate jurisdictions.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 16.7% and 26.5%. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by a favorable benefit of vesting and exercise of share based compensation awards and a favorable benefit resulting from the release of valuation allowances, which are partially offset by unfavorable changes in the mix of income earned in higher rate jurisdictions. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by $84.4 million (before and after-tax) primarily due to the write-down of the carrying value of consideration receivable related to the September 2015 divestiture of our Systems Integration business in China.

Review of Business Segments

We operate in and report financial results for three segments: Americas, EMEIA, and Asia Pacific. These segments represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews company 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 from Operating income, 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 Net revenues.

The segment discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in results for each segment included in net earnings.

The increase in operating income was primarily due to pricing improvements and productivity in excess of inflation and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable volume/product mix, increased investment spending primarily for new product development and channel initiatives, and restructuring.

The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to increased investment spending primarily for new product development and channel led initiatives, restructuring and acquisition expenses, volume/product mix, and an operating loss from an acquisition in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by pricing improvements and productivity in excess of inflation.

Segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $28.0 million and segment operating margin held constant at 28.5% compared to the same period in 2016. Year over year fluctuations are due to the following:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities is used to invest in new product development, fund capital expenditures and fund working capital requirements and is expected to be adequate to service any future debt, pay any declared dividends and potentially fund acquisitions and share repurchases. Our ability to fund these capital needs depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash provided by operating activities, and to access our borrowing facilities (including unused availability under our Revolving Facility) and capital markets. We believe that our future cash provided by operating activities, availability under our Revolving Facility and access to funds on hand and capital markets, will provide adequate resources to fund our operating and financing needs.

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.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $8.4 million compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to a discretionary $50.0 million contribution to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan partially offset by higher earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $13.2 million compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to $15.5 million in proceeds from the sale of an equity investment in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 that did not occur in the same period last year and a $10.6 million decrease of cash payments related to acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year. These changes were partially offset by $14.1 million of cash received from the sale of marketable securities in the same period last year that did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.7 million compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a $30.0 million increase of repurchases of ordinary shares and a $11.1 million increase in dividend payments to ordinary shareholders partially offset by lower debt repayments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repaid our previously outstanding credit facility, the Second Amended Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2015. As part of this refinancing, debt issuance costs of $3.0 million were paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cash provided by other financing activities increased $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher proceeds from shares issued under incentive plans, lower dividends paid to noncontrolling interests and payment of contingent consideration related to an acquisition in the same period last year that did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Capitalization

On September 12, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which refinanced in full our previously outstanding credit facility dated as of September 30, 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility maturing on September 12, 2022 (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on September 12, 2022 (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). All obligations under our previously outstanding credit facility were satisfied, all commitments thereunder were terminated, and all guarantees and security interests that had been granted in connection therewith were released.

The full amount of the Term Facility was drawn at closing. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The proceeds from the Term Facility along with the initial borrowings of $165.0 million under the Revolving Facility were used primarily to repay our previously outstanding credit facility. The Term Facility will amortize in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022.

The Revolving Facility consists of a five-year revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $500.0 million, of which up to $100.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and including a swingline facility in an amount equal to $50.0 million. Certain of the commitments under the Revolving Facility are available to be drawn in currencies other than US dollars, including euros and pounds sterling. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. As discussed further below, we repaid in full the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility on October 2, 2017, with proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes due 2024 and 2027 on the same date.

On October 2, 2017, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. (“Allegion US Holding”), a subsidiary of Allegion plc (“Allegion”), issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027.
On October 3, 2017 we used the net proceeds of the offering to redeem in full the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 and to redeem in full the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023, pay the related redemption premiums of approximately $33.0 million, and fees of approximately $7.4 million related to the Senior Notes due 2024 and 2027, of which half will be deferred over 7 years and half over 10 years and amortized into interest expense.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $18.0 million of letters of credit outstanding.

We are required to comply with certain covenants under our unsecured credit facilities. We are required to comply with a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00 based on a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness, net of unrestricted cash up to $200.0 million, to consolidated EBITDA. Additionally, we are required to have a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 based on a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, net of interest income. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants. The indenture to our senior notes and the unsecured credit facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions.

Long-term debt as of September 30, 2017 and subsequent to the financing activities through October 3, 2017 noted above, consisted of the following:

The majority of our earnings are 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. Accordingly, applicable income taxes have not been accrued on the portion of our earnings that is considered to be permanently reinvested.  

At September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $334.9 million. Approximately 47% of our cash and cash equivalents were located outside the U.S.

Pensions

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, contribution 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 and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance. In January 2017, we made a discretionary $50.0 million contribution to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.

We monitor the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to the volatility in the markets. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 10 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2016.


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, 2017, to the items that 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, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed and consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.

You are advised to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in materials we file with or furnish to the SEC. 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 those in our forward looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.

Factors that might affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
economic, political and business conditions in the markets in which we operate;
the demand for our products and services;

the ability to protect and use intellectual property;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
the ability to complete and integrate any acquisitions;

availability of and fluctuations in the prices of key commodities and the impact of higher energy prices;
potential further impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or our long-lived assets;
the possible effects on us of future legislation in the U.S. that may limit or eliminate potential U.S. tax benefits resulting from our incorporation in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, such as Ireland, or deny U.S. government contracts to us based upon our incorporation in such non-U.S. jurisdiction; and
the impact our substantial leverage may have on our business and operations.
Some of the significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections are described more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. 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 results to differ materially from our expectations.


Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
