Item 1. BUSINESS
Overview
PART I
Allegion plc ("Allegion," "we," "us" or "the Company") is a leading global provider of security products and solutions that keep
people and assets safe and secure in the places they live, learn, work and visit. We create peace of mind by pioneering safety
and security with a vision of seamless access and a safer world. Seamless access allows authorized, automated and safe passage
and movement through spaces and places in the most efficient and frictionless manner possible. Central to our vision is
partnering and developing ecosystems to create a flawless experience and enable an uninterrupted and secure flow of people
and assets. We offer an extensive and versatile portfolio of security and access control products and solutions across a range of
market-leading brands. Our experts across the globe deliver high-quality security products, services and systems, and we use
our deep expertise to serve as trusted partners to end-users who seek customized solutions to their security needs.

Services and software
Access control security products and solutions are critical elements in every building and home. Many door openings are
configured to maximize a room’s particular form and function while also meeting local and national building and safety code
requirements and end-user security needs. Most buildings have multiple door openings, each serving its own purpose and
requiring different specific access control solutions. Each door must fit exactly within its frame, be prepared precisely for its
hinges, synchronize with its specific lockset and corresponding latch and align with a specific key to secure the door. Moreover,
with the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things ("IoT"), security products – including credentials – are increasingly
linked electronically, integrated into software and popular consumer technology platforms and controlled with mobile
applications, creating additional functionality and complexity. Seamless access capitalizes on the ability for multiple products
and brands to work in tandem, allowing people and assets to move efficiently and safely by adapting access rights for various
settings or use cases. These solutions can also provide insights on usage and traffic patterns to boost efficiency, improve
hygiene of high-traffic areas and improve visitor, staff and tenant experiences.
We believe our ability to deliver a wide range of solutions that can be custom configured to meet end-users’ security needs is a
key driver of our success. We accomplish this with:
•
•
•
•
Our extensive and versatile product and service portfolio, combined with our deep expertise, which enables us to
deliver the right products and solutions to meet diverse security and functional specifications and to successfully and
securely integrate into leading technologies and systems;
Our consultative approach and expertise, which enables us to develop the most efficient and appropriate building
security and access control specifications to fulfill the unique needs of our end-users and their partners, including
architects, contractors, homebuilders and engineers;
Our access to and management of key channels in the market, which is critical to delivering our products in an
efficient and consistent manner; and
Our enterprise excellence capabilities, including our global manufacturing operations and agile supply chain, which
facilitate our ability to deliver specific product and system configurations to end-users and consumers worldwide,
quickly and efficiently.
We believe the security products industry will continue to benefit from several global macroeconomic trends, including:
•
•
•
•
Expected growth in global electronic products and solutions as end-users adopt newer technologies in their facilities
and homes;
Heightened awareness of security and privacy requirements;
Increased focus on touchless solutions that help promote a healthy environment; and
The shift to a digital, interconnected environment.
We operate in and report financial results for two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International, the latter of which
provides security products, services and solutions primarily throughout Europe, Asia and Oceania. We sell our products and
solutions under the following brands:

We sell a wide range of security and access control solutions for end-users in commercial, institutional and residential facilities
worldwide, including the education, healthcare, government, hospitality, retail, commercial office and single and multi-family
residential markets. Our leading brands include CISA®, Interflex®, LCN®, Schlage®, SimonsVoss® and Von Duprin®. We
believe LCN, Schlage and Von Duprin hold the No. 1 or No. 2 position in their primary product categories in North America
while CISA, Interflex and SimonsVoss hold the No. 1 or No. 2 position in their primary product categories in certain European
markets.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we generated Net revenues of $3,271.9 million and Operating income of $586.4
million.

History and Developments
We were incorporated in Ireland on May 9, 2013, to hold the commercial and residential security businesses of what was then
Ingersoll Rand plc ("Ingersoll Rand"). On December 1, 2013, we became a stand-alone public company after Ingersoll Rand
completed the separation of these businesses from the rest of Ingersoll Rand via the transfer of these businesses from Ingersoll
Rand to us and the issuance by us of ordinary shares directly to Ingersoll Rand’s shareholders (the "Spin-off"). Our security
businesses have long and distinguished operating histories. Several of our brands were established more than 100 years ago, and
many originally created their categories:
•
•
•
•
•
Von Duprin, established in 1908, was awarded the first exit device patent;
Schlage, established in 1920, was awarded the first patents granted for the cylindrical lock and the push button lock;
LCN, established in 1926, created the first door closer;
CISA, established in 1926, devised the first electronically controlled lock; and
SimonsVoss, established in 1995, created the first keyless digital transponder.
We have built upon these founding legacies since our entry into the security products market through the acquisition of Schlage,
Von Duprin and LCN in 1974. Today, we continue to develop, acquire and introduce innovative and market-leading products.
For example, in 2022, we acquired Stanley Access Technologies LLC and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions
business from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the "Access Technologies business"), which patented the world's first hands-free
door operator in 1931. Through this acquisition, we have added another innovative market leader to our portfolio of businesses
and broadened our product and service offerings throughout the U.S. and Canada.
7
In 2018, we announced the formation of Allegion Ventures to invest in and help accelerate the growth of companies that have
innovative, digital-first
technologies and products such as touchless access and workspace monitoring solutions that
complement our core business solutions. Building on this success, in December 2021, Allegion Ventures announced a second
fund with an additional allocation of $100 million to focus on investing in technologies like artificial intelligence, video
monitoring, machine learning and cybersecurity.

Industry and Competition
We serve customers within institutional, commercial and residential construction and remodeling markets throughout North
America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. We expect the security products industry will continue to benefit from favorable trends
such as increased concerns about safety and security, new attention on touchless solutions that help promote a healthy
environment and technology-driven innovation that enables seamless access and a better user experience as people and assets
traverse multiple locations and facilities. Further, we expect continued growth in connected security products and solutions as
end-users continue to adopt newer technologies, including IoT, in their facilities and single and multi-family homes.
The security products markets are highly competitive and fragmented throughout the world, with a number of large multi-
national companies and thousands of smaller regional and local companies. This high degree of fragmentation primarily reflects
local regulatory requirements and highly variable end-user needs. We believe our principal global competitors are Assa Abloy
AB and dormakaba Group. We also face competition in various markets and product categories throughout the world, including
from Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. in the North American residential market. As we move into more technologically
advanced product categories, we may also compete against new, more specialized competitors and technology companies.
Our success depends on a variety of factors, including brand and reputation, product breadth, innovation, integration with
popular technology platforms, quality and delivery capabilities, price and service capabilities. As many of our businesses sell
through wholesale distribution, our success also depends on building and partnering with a strong channel network. Although
price often serves as an important customer decision point, we also compete based on the breadth, innovation and quality of our
products and solutions, our ability to custom-configure solutions to meet individual end-user requirements and our global
supply chain.

Customers
We sell most of our products and solutions through distribution and retail channels, including specialty distribution, e-
commerce and wholesalers. We have built a network of channel partners that help our customers choose the right solution to
meet their security needs and help commercial and institutional end-users fulfill and install orders. We also sell through a
variety of retail channels, including large do-it-yourself home improvement centers, multiple online and e-commerce platforms,
as well as small, specialty showroom outlets. We work with our retail partners on developing marketing and merchandising
strategies to maximize their sales per square foot of shelf space. Through a few of our businesses, most notably our Access
Technologies business, Interflex and our Global Portable Security brands, we also provide products and services directly to
end-users.
Our 10 largest customers represented approximately 26% of our total Net revenues in 2022. No single customer represented
10% or more of our total Net revenues in 2022.

Sales and Marketing
In markets where we sell through commercial and institutional distribution channels, we employ sales professionals around the
world who work with a combination of end-users, security professionals, architects, contractors, engineers and distribution
partners to develop specific, custom-configured solutions for our end-users’ needs. Our field sales professionals are assisted by
specification writers who work with architects, engineers and consultants to help design door openings and security systems to
meet end-users’ functional, aesthetic and regulatory requirements. Both groups are supported by dedicated customer care and
technical sales-support specialists worldwide. We also support our sales efforts with a variety of marketing efforts, including
trade-specific advertising, cooperative distributor merchandising, digital marketing and marketing at a variety of industry trade
shows.
In markets in which we sell through retail and home-builder distribution channels, we have teams of sales, merchandising and
marketing professionals who help drive brand and product awareness through our channel partners and to consumers. We
utilize a variety of advertising and marketing strategies, including traditional consumer media, retail merchandising, digital
marketing, retail promotions and builder and consumer trade shows, to support these teams.
We also work actively with several industry bodies around the world to help promote effective and consistent safety and
security standards. For example, we are members of the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM),
Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), Connectivity Standards Alliance, Construction Specification Institute,
Door and Hardware Institute (DHI), FiRa Consortium, National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM), Partner Alliance
for Safer Schools (PASS), Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA), Security Industry Association, Security
Technology Alliance, Z-Wave Alliance, The European Federation of Associations of Locks and Builders Hardware
Manufacturers (ARGE), ASSOFERMA (Italy), BHE (Germany) and UNIQ (France).
Production and Distribution
We manufacture products in several geographic markets around the world. We operate 29 principal production and assembly
facilities – 16 in our Allegion Americas segment and 13 in our Allegion International segment. We own 16 of these facilities
and lease the others. Our strategy is to produce in the region of use, wherever appropriate, to allow us to be closer to the end-
user and increase efficiency and timely product delivery. Much of our U.S. based residential portfolio is manufactured in the
Baja region of Mexico under the Maquiladora, Manufacturing and Export Services Industry ("IMMEX") program. In managing
our network of production and assembly facilities, we focus on continuous improvement in customer experience, employee
health and safety, productivity, resource utilization and operational excellence.
We distribute our products through a broad network of channel partners. In addition, third-party manufacturing and logistics
providers perform certain manufacturing, storage and distribution services for us to support certain parts of our manufacturing
and distribution network.
Raw Materials
We support our region-of-use production strategy with corresponding region-of-use supplier partners for much of our supply
base. Our global and regional commodity teams work with production leadership, product management and materials
management teams to procure materials for production. Where appropriate, we may enter into fixed-cost contracts to lower
overall costs.
We purchase a wide range of raw materials, including steel, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals, as well as other parts and
components, such as electronic components, to support our production facilities. Through much of 2022, we continued to
experience supply chain disruptions and delays, including logistical challenges; shortages in parts and materials (particularly
shortages of electronic components); and increased material and other inflation. While these trends have negatively impacted
our results of operations, we have taken multiple actions to address these challenges, including product redesigns, carrying
increased levels of safety stock and working with our supplier base, including establishing new and diverse supplier
relationships, to increase part and component availability and our overall supply chain agility. As a result of these actions, we
have seen many of these supply chain related challenges improve over the second half of 2022, although shortages of electronic
parts and components persist. See "Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" for a more detailed discussion of these trends and challenges.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, inclusive of certain patents, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, trade secrets and other proprietary rights,
is important to our business. We create, protect and enforce our intellectual property investments in a variety of ways. We work
actively in the U.S. and internationally to try to ensure the protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights. We
use trademarks on nearly all of our products and believe such distinctive marks are an important factor in creating a market for
our goods, in identifying us and in distinguishing our products from others. We consider our CISA, Interflex, LCN, Schlage,
SimonsVoss, Von Duprin and other associated trademarks to be among our most valuable assets, and we have registered these
trademarks in a number of countries. Although certain proprietary intellectual property rights are important to our success, we
do not believe we are materially dependent on any particular patent or license, or any particular group of patents or licenses.
10
Facilities
We operate through a broad network of sales offices, engineering centers, 29 principal production and assembly facilities and
several distribution centers throughout the world. Our active properties represent approximately 6.7 million square feet, of
which approximately 41% is leased. The following table shows the location of our principal worldwide production and

Our research and development team is managed as a global, collaborative group to identify and develop new technologies and
worldwide product platforms. Our regionally located resources leverage expertise in local standards and configurations and
apply those to adapt products for the benefit of our customers. Further, we operate a global technology center in Bengaluru,
India, which augments and supports our regional engineering and technology teams.
Seasonality
Our business experiences seasonality that varies by product and service line. For instance, as more construction and do-it-
yourself projects occur during the second and third calendar quarters in the Northern Hemisphere, our security product sales
related to those projects are typically higher in those quarters than in the first and fourth quarters. However, certain other
businesses typically experience higher sales in the fourth quarter due to demand for services and project timing.
Human Capital
Our human capital strategy is based on our values and is foundational to achieving our business strategy. To ensure we attract
and retain top talent, we strive for a diverse and inclusive culture that rewards performance, provides growth and development
opportunities and supports employees through competitive compensation, benefits and numerous volunteer and charitable
giving opportunities.
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 12,300 employees worldwide, with approximately 46% employed within the
U.S. and approximately 54% based outside the U.S. Among our U.S. based employees, approximately 15% were subject to
collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions. Outside the U.S., we have employees in certain countries,
particularly in Europe, that are represented by an employee representative organization, such as a works council. The vast
majority of our employees work on a full-time basis. Our employee base is supplemented by contingent labor where business
demand fluctuates or we experience short-term needs for specialized skills. We believe our relations with our workforce in both
unionized and non-unionized settings are generally positive.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefit programs are tailored to be competitive in the geographies where we work, including a total rewards
package (which varies by country/region) that includes hourly and salaried compensation, performance-based incentive and
long-term equity incentive plans, retirement, insurance and government social welfare programs, disability and family leave,
11
health and wellness programs, education benefits to pursue degrees and certifications and additional offerings to support
financial stability and personal planning. The Allegion Leadership Behaviors – break boundaries, innovate, be courageous,
engage and develop, champion change and be inclusive – work in concert with our performance management system to
reinforce our values and code of conduct in assessing how people lead and deliver top performance.
Talent Attraction
Our employer brand strength creates a differentiated employee experience that attracts and retains the right talent for Allegion.
Our talent attraction efforts are focused on and highlight a culture that reflects our core values, Allegion Leadership Behaviors
and business objectives. These efforts begin well before people work for us. Around the world, our sites partner with schools
and support teachers, providing mentoring, grants, scholarships, internships, co-op programs, classroom technology and on-site
activities and full-time rotational programs after graduation. Our sites sponsor science, technology, engineering and math
("STEM") programs and competitions to spur interest in fields like robotics, IT and engineering. In the U.S., we also host
annual Manufacturing Day events virtually and at several of our production and assembly facilities. These programs expose
students to careers in manufacturing and technology and provide educators with programming to encourage academic
excellence and social development while building a pipeline of talent for us.
We want to attract talent with core capabilities relevant to our long-term corporate business strategy: customer focus,
innovation, partnering, pace and agility and collaboration. We use a variety of recruitment tactics to ensure a strong base of
labor for manufacturing operations and to build the base of talent with these capabilities. Throughout the recruitment cycle, we
provide a technology-enabled seamless experience for internal and external candidates and hiring managers.
Talent Development and Succession Planning
Talent development and succession planning are key components of the Allegion Operating System, our system of annual
operation that supports governance, reporting processes and management of the business. Our performance management system
includes annual performance reviews for all permanent salaried employees, where, in alignment with our values, an open
feedback culture is encouraged, regardless of level or hierarchy. Inclusive talent development and succession planning takes
place at all levels of the organization and is supported through the Allegion Leadership Behaviors, individual career mapping,
assessment of performance and talent pipeline planning up to and including the executive leadership team ("ELT"). As part of
their quarterly business review, the ELT reviews talent development, focusing on developing a diverse succession pipeline.
These cross-functional reviews highlight individuals who are ready for new opportunities, individuals who are on a special
assignment or project and individuals early in their career that demonstrate emerging leadership skills.
Learning and Development
Opportunities for on-going learning and development are delivered to employees through structured coursework, on-site and
expert-led training and experiential, applied development. The Allegion Academy is offered globally, supporting multiple
languages and providing more than 20,000 self-guided online courses, as well as learning community channels on targeted
skills and topics like inclusion and diversity. We offer programs to provide successive levels of development, including
reskilling and upskilling existing employees, as well as strengths-based leadership curriculum and global programs for
employee mentoring and coaching. Enterprise excellence initiatives and sprint teams expand skills in lean manufacturing and
quality principles and lead to redesigning workflow to boost productivity and reduce waste.
Engagement and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DEI")
Engagement and DEI are also parts of the Allegion Operating System. Engagement surveys provide a mechanism to gather
direct employee feedback, give team leaders insights on potential areas of focus and allow leaders to prioritize and take action
on their teams’ foundational, inclusion, growth and development needs. Strengths-based leadership is an element of our
commitment to inclusion: the more employees understand their own strengths, the better equipped they are to add value and
appreciate the contributions of diverse members of their teams.
Engagement and DEI are topics for learning communities, employee roundtables and ongoing, regular analysis and dialogue
among people leaders, executive leadership and Board of Directors. We believe in fundamental standards that support our
employees, including a commitment to building and maintaining diverse and inclusive workplaces, safe and healthy practices
and competitive wages and benefits. We embrace all differences and similarities among colleagues and within the relationships
we foster with customers, suppliers and the communities where we live and work. Employee led resource and affinity groups
provide enrichment opportunities for women's leadership, early career professionals, allies and members of the LBGTQIA+,
veteran and Hispanic communities, working parents, innovation, health and fitness, site-specific engagement and community
volunteering and philanthropy. Whatever background, experience, race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, gender
identity, disability status, sexual orientation, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law, we make sure
that potential and current employees have every opportunity for application and the opportunity to give their best at work.
The efforts of Allegion’s DEI Steering Committee, our ELT and the employee-led Inclusion Council, are driving expectations
and accountability while creating role models and change champions. Our DEI strategy has three core pillars:
12
•
•
•
Learn & listen deeply: Learn to recognize biases and mitigate them. Seek to first understand an individual's
perspective rather than respond or act;
Unite widely: Create a workplace where all employees feel welcomed, respected and valued, enabling customers to
more easily connect with our brands through our people; and
Take action: Identify the unique things that impact our organization, our communities and our industry.
During 2022, we updated our strategic action priorities, which center on: 1) Building and sustaining equitable policies and
practices; 2) Creating an inclusive culture; and 3) Elevating the approach to DEI in our industry and having a positive impact on
our communities. We are dedicated to fulfilling equal opportunity commitments in all decisions regarding all employment
actions and at all levels of employment. In partnership with our Human Resources organization, our Equal Employment
Opportunity Officer ensures that the applicable policy and procedures are appropriately established, implemented and
disseminated, including those prohibiting discrimination, harassment, bullying and/or retaliation.
Civic Involvement
Civic involvement is part of the value proposition we offer employees and supports DEI, growth and development. We provide
multi-faceted support for our communities, guided by three philanthropic pillars: safety and security; wellness; and addressing
the unique needs of the communities where we live, learn, work and visit. Corporate sponsorships and voluntary employee
payroll deductions support a wide range of non-profits, including those that address housing and school security and safety;
children and youth programs; education and scholarships for people of color and those who are economically disadvantaged
and support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities; community safety nets for basic needs (e.g., food, shelter,
transportation) for underserved people and to break the cycle of poverty; wellness, mental health, health research, emergency
relief and blood supply initiatives; and programs to advance equality, justice and address systemic bias. In addition to corporate
sponsorships, site leaders and employees are encouraged to organize local volunteer and fundraising activities, provide grants to
local organizations and serve on boards and committees.
Respect for Human Rights
Our respect for human rights is expressed in standards for our employees, our business partners, our customers and our
communities. We uphold our Global Human Rights Policy, with standards that align with basic working conditions and human
rights concepts advanced by international organizations such as the International Labor Organization and the United Nations.
This policy also represents our own minimum standards for working conditions and human rights in our business and supply
chains. In addition, we conduct risk assessments and continue to have conversations with the suppliers and companies we work
with about the importance of human rights.
Employee Health and Safety
Employee health and safety are top priorities, and we consistently rank as the safest among leading competitors on core
measures such as the total recordable incident rate. ‘Be safe, be healthy’ is a core organizational value in our proactive safety
culture and has guided our response throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to adapt to changing health conditions
at a local level and support a wide range of health and safety measures, including encouraging preventative measures such as
COVID-19 and influenza vaccines and booster shots.
The ELT, with oversight from our Board of Directors, is responsible for risk management, employee accountability, safety
hazard recognition and executing safety initiatives. We monitor leading and lagging indicators related to health and safety as
part of our ongoing management of the Allegion Operating System and regularly update the Corporate Governance and
Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors on key developments and employee health and safety topics. In recognition of
our efforts to integrate sound environmental, health and safety ("EHS") management with our business operations, in 2021, we
received the renowned Robert W. Campbell Award from the National Safety Council.
Regulatory Matters
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations, both within and outside the U.S., relating to EHS
matters. We are committed to conducting our business in a safe, environmentally responsible and sustainable manner, in
compliance with all applicable EHS laws and regulations, and in a manner that helps promote and protect the health and safety
of our environment, associates, customers, contractors and members of our local communities worldwide. We operate with
principles that support our proactive commitments, including:
•
Integrating sound EHS and sustainability strategies in all elements of our business functions, including objectives and
measurements;
Conducting periodic, formal evaluation of our compliance status and annual review of objectives and targets;
Creating a workplace culture where all employees are responsible for safety;
•
•
• Making continuous improvements in EHS and sustainability management systems and performance, including the
reduction in the usage of natural resources, waste minimization, prevention of pollution and prevention of workplace
accidents, injuries and risks;
13
•
•
•
Designing, operating and maintaining our facilities in a manner that minimizes negative EHS and sustainability
impacts;
Using materials responsibly, including the recycling and reuse of materials, where feasible; and
Acting in a way that shows sensitivity to community concerns about EHS and sustainability issues.
We recognize that these principles are critical to our future success. We have a dedicated environmental program designed to
reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate any identified
environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address
environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities. We also regularly evaluate our
remediation methods that are in addition to, or in replacement of, those we currently utilize based upon enhanced technology
and regulatory changes. We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have, from time to time, received
notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
and similar state authorities. We have 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, our involvement is minimal.
In estimating our liability, we have assumed that we 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
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. For a further discussion of our
potential environmental liabilities, see Notes 2 and 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors important to our business are embedded into our values and our
leadership's commitment to create a workplace culture committed to doing the right thing in the right way. Our Board of
Directors oversees the Company's ESG strategies, goals and performance, and both our leadership and employees all have a
responsibility to uphold excellence, as we believe our commitment to ESG matters helps advance engagement and business
vitality. In 2022, Allegion was among the notable companies honored with a SEAL Business Sustainability Award, in
recognition of our proactive water reduction project implemented across two of our production facilities in the Baja region of
Mexico. Additional information about our ESG priorities and progress may be found in the ESG section of our website (found
under the ESG tab at www.allegion.com). The website highlights our ongoing progress and advancements in ESG matters, and
includes our materiality matrix of ESG priorities.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond our control – that could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. You should carefully consider the risk
factors discussed below, together with all the other information included in this Form 10-K, in evaluating us, our ordinary
shares and our senior notes. If any of the events, risks or uncertainties below actually occurs, our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Any such adverse effect may cause the trading
price of our ordinary shares to decline, and as a result, you could lose all or part of your investment in us. Our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may also be materially and adversely affected by events, risks and
uncertainties not known to us or events, risks and uncertainties that we currently believe to be immaterial.
Economic, Market and Financial Risks
Our business operations and performance have been, and are expected to continue to be, impacted by global macroeconomic
factors. Ongoing macroeconomic challenges could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial conditions
and cash flows.
Macroeconomic challenges, including ongoing supply chain disruptions and delays, material, electronic component and labor
shortages, cost inflation, rising interest rates and volatility in the capital markets, have impacted, and may continue to impact,
our business, our customers and our suppliers. These challenges may also make it more challenging for us to manufacture and
deliver products to our customers, could cause periodic production interruptions and supply constraints, impact our ability to
forecast and plan for future business activities and, if not adequately managed, could have a material adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Further, demand for our products and solutions is impacted by the strength of institutional, commercial and residential
construction and remodeling markets, which are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions. As a result,
deterioration of these macroeconomic conditions (or weakness in these conditions existing for an extended period of time), a
decline in general economic activity or recession in the U.S. or global economy could slow demand for new construction or
remodeling projects and result in our customers cancelling or delaying orders, which in turn could erode average selling prices
and result in declines in our revenues, profitability and cash flows.
Increased prices and inflation could negatively impact our margin performance and our financial results.
Elevated levels of inflation, including rising prices for raw materials, parts and components, freight, packaging, labor and
energy, increases our costs to manufacture and distribute our products and services, and we may be unable to pass these
increased costs on to our customers. We do not currently use financial derivatives to hedge against volatility in commodity
prices; however, we utilize firm purchase commitments, where possible, to help mitigate risk. The pricing of some materials,
parts and components we use is based on market prices. To mitigate this exposure, we may use annual price contracts to
minimize the impact of inflation and to benefit from deflation.
Additionally, we are exposed to fluctuations in other costs such as packaging, freight, labor and energy prices. If inflation in
these costs increases beyond our ability to control for them through measures such as implementing operating efficiencies, or
we are not able to increase prices to sufficiently offset the effect of various cost increases without negatively impacting
customer demand, our margin performance and results of operations would be negatively impacted.
Our global operations subject us to economic risks.
Our businesses operate around the world in various geographic regions and product markets. Additionally, we procure various
products, parts, components and services from supplier partners located throughout the world. Our global operations depend on
products manufactured, purchased and sold in the U.S. and internationally, including in Australia, Canada, China, Europe,
Mexico, New Zealand and the Middle East. The political, economic and regulatory environments in which we operate are
becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain. Accordingly, we are subject to multiple risks that are inherent in operating and
sourcing globally, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Changes to trade agreements, sanctions, import and export regulations, including imposition of burdensome tariffs and
quotas, and customs duties;
Changes in applicable tax regulations and interpretations;
Economic downturns;
Social and political unrest, instability, national and international conflict, including war, border closures, civil
disturbances, terrorist acts and other geographical disputes and uncertainties;
Government measures to restrict business activity, for example, to prevent the spread of a communicable disease;
Changes in laws and regulations or imposition of currency restrictions and other restraints in various jurisdictions;
Limitation of ownership rights, including expropriation of assets by a local government, and limitation on the ability to
repatriate earnings;
15
•
•
•
•
Sovereign debt crises and currency instability in developed and developing countries;
Difficulty in staffing and managing global operations;
Difficulty in enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through non-U.S. legal systems; and
Difficulty in transporting materials, components and products.
These risks have increased our cost of doing business in the U.S. and internationally. These risks may also increase our
counterparty risk, disrupt our operations, disrupt the ability of suppliers and customers to fulfill their obligations, increase our
effective tax rate, increase the cost of our products, limit our ability to sell products and services in certain markets, reduce our
operating margin and cash flows and/or negatively impact our ability to compete.
Our business relies on the institutional, commercial and residential construction and remodeling markets.
Demand for our security products and solutions relies on the institutional, commercial and residential construction and
remodeling markets, which are marked by cyclicality based on overall economic conditions, including consumer confidence
and disposable income, corporate and government spending, work-from-home trends, availability of credit and demand for new
housing and infrastructure. Weakness or instability in one or more of these markets may cause current and potential customers
to delay or cancel major capital projects or otherwise choose not to make purchases, which could negatively impact the demand
for our products and solutions and erode average selling prices.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. See "Part II, Item 7A.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk."
Approximately 25% of our 2022 Net revenues were derived outside the U.S., and we expect sales to non-U.S. customers to
continue to represent a significant portion of our consolidated Net revenues. Although we may enter into currency exchange
contracts to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuations, changes in the relative fair values of currencies occur
from time to time and in some instances, as was the case in 2022, have had a significant impact on our Net revenues. We do not
hedge against all our currency exposure, and therefore, our results of operations will continue to be susceptible to impacts from
currency fluctuations.
We also translate assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies into U.S. dollars for our
Consolidated Financial Statements based on applicable exchange rates. Consequently, fluctuations in the value of the U.S.
dollar compared to other currencies may have a material impact on the value of these items in our Consolidated Financial
Statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. Further, certain of our businesses may invoice
customers in a currency other than its functional currency, or may be invoiced by suppliers in a currency other than its
functional currency, which could result in unfavorable translation effects on these businesses and our results of operations.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived
assets.
At December 31, 2022, the net carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled approximately
$1.4 billion and $110 million, respectively. Pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we are
required to annually assess our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. In addition, interim assessments
must be performed for these and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an
impairment may have occurred. Significant disruptions to our business or end market conditions, protracted economic weakness
(including a potential economic downturn or recession), unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units,
divestitures or market capitalization declines may result in recognition of impairment charges to our goodwill, indefinite-lived
intangible or other long-lived assets. Any charges relating to such impairments could have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations in the periods when recognized.
The capital and credit markets are important to our business.
Continued instability in U.S. and global capital and credit markets, including market disruptions, limited liquidity and interest
rate volatility or reductions in the credit ratings assigned to us by independent ratings agencies, could reduce our access to
capital markets, increase our costs of borrowing or adversely impact our ability to obtain favorable financing terms in the
future. In particular, if we are unable to access capital and credit markets on terms that are acceptable to us, we may not be able
to execute potential merger and acquisition plans, make other investments or fully execute our business plans and strategy.
Our suppliers and customers are also dependent upon the capital and credit markets. Limitations on the ability of customers,
suppliers or financial counterparties to access credit could lead to insolvencies of key suppliers and customers, limit or prevent
customers from obtaining credit to finance purchases of our products and services, delay institutional, commercial and/or
residential construction and remodeling projects and cause delays in the delivery of key products from suppliers.
16
There are risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness.
We had approximately $2.1 billion of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2022. Included in this total was $69 million
outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2021 Revolving Facility") that permits borrowings of up
to $500 million. A portion of our cash flows from operations is dedicated to servicing our indebtedness and will not be available
for other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures, payment of dividends, share repurchases or future business
opportunities or other strategic investments.
Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial and operating
performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other
factors beyond our control, such as the credit ratings assigned to us by independent ratings agencies or our ability to access
capital markets on acceptable terms. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations,
we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends, sell assets, seek
additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and
may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In such event, we could face substantial liquidity problems
and might be required to sell material assets or operations to attempt to meet our debt service and other obligations.
Additionally, at December 31, 2022, our borrowings included a variable rate term loan facility (the "2021 Term Facility", and
together with the 2021 Revolving Facility, the "2021 Credit Facilities"). The 2021 Credit Facilities had a combined outstanding
variable rate balance of $306.5 million at December 31, 2022, which exposes us to variable interest rate risk. Applicable
variable interest rates have increased throughout 2022, resulting in increased Interest expense. We are also exposed to the risk
of continued rising interest rates to the extent we fund our short or long-term financing needs with variable-rate borrowings
under the 2021 Revolving Facility. If variable base rates under the 2021 Credit Facilities continue to increase in the future, our
Interest expense could increase as well. For more details about our interest rate exposure under the 2021 Credit Facilities, please
see Part II. Item 7A.
Strategic and Operational Risks
Increased competition, including from technological developments, could adversely affect our business.
The markets in which we operate include a large number of participants, including multi-national, regional and small, local
companies. We primarily compete on the basis of quality, innovation, expertise, effective channels to market, breadth of
product offering and price. We may be unable to effectively compete on all these bases. Further, in a number of our product
offerings, we compete with our retail customers and technology partners who use their own private labels. If we are unable to
anticipate evolving trends in the market or the timing and scale of our competitors’ activities and initiatives, including increased
competition from private label brands, the demand for our products and services could be negatively impacted.
In addition, we compete in an industry that is experiencing the convergence of mechanical, electronic and digital products.
Technology and innovation play significant roles in the competitive landscape. Our success depends, in part, upon the research,
development and implementation of new technologies and products including obtaining, maintaining and enforcing necessary
intellectual property protections. Securing and maintaining key partnerships and alliances, recruiting and retaining highly
skilled and qualified employee talent and having access to technologies, services, intellectual property and solutions developed
by others will play a significant role in our ability to effectively compete. The continual development of new technologies by
existing and new competitors, including non-traditional competitors with significant resources, could adversely affect our
ability to sustain operating margins and desirable levels of sales volumes. To remain competitive, we must develop new
products and service offerings and respond to new technologies in a timely manner.
Our growth is dependent, in part, on the development, commercialization and acceptance of new products and services.
We must develop and commercialize new products and services that meet the varied and evolving needs of our customers and
end-users in order to remain competitive in our current and future markets and in order to continue to grow our business. End
users are continually adopting more advanced technologies in their facilities and homes, accelerated by the increasing adoption
of IoT technologies and connected devices, which will require us to devote significant effort and resources to the development,
maintenance and enhancement of the IT systems and other infrastructure required to support and/or enhance the functionality of
our electronic products and solutions. The speed of development by our competitors and new market entrants is increasing. We
cannot provide any assurance that any new product or service will be successfully commercialized in a timely manner, if ever,
or, if commercialized, will result in returns greater than our investment. Investment in a product or service could divert our
attention and resources from other projects that become more commercially viable in the market. We also cannot provide any
assurance that any new product or service will be accepted by the market.
Changes in customer and consumer preferences and the inability to maintain beneficial relationships with large customers
could adversely affect our business.
We have significant customers, particularly major retailers, although no one customer represented 10% or more of our total Net
revenues in any of the past three fiscal years. The loss or material reduction of business, either due to a reduction in demand
17
from one or more of our significant customers, or our inability to timely meet any elevated level of customer demand for
various reasons, the lack of success of sales initiatives or changes in customer preferences or loyalties for our products related
to any such significant customer could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, major customers who are
volume purchasers are much larger than us and have strong bargaining power with their suppliers. This limits our ability to
recover cost increases through higher selling prices. Furthermore, unanticipated inventory adjustments by these customers can
have a negative impact on sales.
We also sell our products through various trade channels, including traditional retail and e-commerce channels. If we or our
major customers are not successful in navigating the shifting consumer preferences to distribution channels such as e-
commerce, our expected future revenues may be negatively impacted.
If our products or solutions fail to meet certification and specification requirements, are defective, cause, or are alleged to
have caused, bodily harm or injury, or otherwise fall short of end-users' needs and expectations, our business may be
negatively impacted.
The security and access control product markets we serve often have unique certification and specification requirements,
reflecting local regulatory requirements and highly variable end-user needs. While we strive to meet all certification and
specification requirements, if any of our products or solutions do not meet such requirements, or contain, or are perceived to
contain, defects or otherwise fall short of end-users' needs and expectations, fail to perform as intended, or are otherwise alleged
to result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death we may become subject to personal injury lawsuits and/or product
liability claims, and if found liable, may incur significant costs, which could negatively impact our business, results of
operations or financial condition.
Additionally, electronic security products and solutions are increasingly more sophisticated and technologically complex than
the mechanical security products we sell and have an increased risk of design, cybersecurity or manufacturing defects, which
could lead to recalls, product replacements or modifications, write-offs of inventory or other assets and significant warranty and
other expenses. Product quality issues could also adversely affect the end-user experience, resulting in reputational harm, loss
of competitive advantage, poor market acceptance, reduced demand for products and solutions, delay in new product and
service introductions and lost sales. Further, adverse publicity, whether or not justified, or allegations of product or service
quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could damage our reputation and negatively affect our sales.
Our business and innovation strategies include making acquisitions of, and investments in, external companies. These
acquisitions and investments could be unsuccessful, consume significant resources or increase our exposure to
cybersecurity, data privacy or other regulatory risks, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
Our long-term growth strategies include the acquisition of businesses or product lines to strengthen our industry position,
enhance our existing set of products and services offerings or expand into adjacent markets. For example, in July 2022, we
completed the acquisition of the Access Technologies business. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will identify or
successfully complete acquisitions with suitable candidates in the future, nor can we provide assurance that completed or future
acquisitions will be successful or otherwise achieve the anticipated strategic and financial benefits, including cost and revenue
synergies.
Acquisitions often place significant demands on management, operational and financial resources, which could decrease
management’s capacity to focus on other important business strategies or divert resources from other parts of our business.
Further, the success of future or completed acquisitions will depend, in large part, on the successful integration of operations,
sales and marketing, information technology, finance and administrative operations. We cannot provide assurance that we will
be able to successfully integrate these new businesses. Additionally, the financing of future business acquisitions may increase
our leverage, impact our credit rating and/or diminish our financial position and ability to re-invest in our existing businesses.
Future acquisitions may also be dependent on our ability to access the capital and credit markets to obtain new debt or equity
financing to fund the purchase price on terms that are acceptable to us.
Some of the businesses we may seek to acquire may be marginally profitable or unprofitable. For these businesses to achieve
acceptable levels of profitability, we may need to improve their management, operations, products and market penetration or
incur significant capital expenditures. We may not be successful in this regard, the costs of doing so may exceed our original
estimates or we may encounter other potential difficulties.
Acquisitions also involve numerous other risks, including:
•
•
•
•
•
Difficulties in obtaining and verifying the financial statements and other business information of acquired businesses;
Inability to obtain regulatory approvals and/or required financing on favorable terms;
Potential loss of key employees, key contractual relationships or key customers of acquired companies or of us;
Difficulties competing in any new markets we may enter;
Assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities (including, but not limited to, regulatory, legal and
product or personal liability claims) of acquired companies;
18
•
•
•
•
Cybersecurity related vulnerabilities or data security incidents that may be present in the IT Systems of acquired
companies, or emerge when integrating the acquired company into our IT Systems;
Dilution of interests of holders of our ordinary shares through the issuance of equity securities or equity-linked
securities;
Labor disruptions, work stoppages or other employee-related issues, particularly if employees of the acquired
companies are represented by labor unions or trade councils; and
Difficulty in integrating financial reporting systems and implementing controls, procedures and policies, including
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting appropriate for public companies of
our size at companies that, prior to the acquisition, had lacked such controls, procedures and policies.
Further, as part of our innovation strategy, from time to time we invest in start-up companies and/or development stage
technology or other companies. In evaluating these opportunities, we follow a structured evaluation process that considers
factors such as potential financial returns, new expertise in emerging technology and business benefits. Despite our best efforts
to calculate potential return and risk, some or all of the companies we invest in may be unprofitable at the time of, and
subsequent to, our investment. We may lose money in these investments, including the potential for future impairment charges
on the investments, and the anticipated benefits of the technology and business relationships may be less than expected.
We may pursue business opportunities that diverge from our core business.
We may pursue business opportunities that diverge from our core business, including expanding our products or service
offerings, seeking to expand our products and services into new international markets, investing in new and unproven
technologies and forming new alliances with companies to develop and distribute our products and services. We can offer no
assurance that any such business opportunities will prove successful. Certain international markets may be slower than our
established markets in adopting our services and products, and our operations in such markets may not develop at a rate that
supports our level of investment. Among other negative effects, our investment in new business opportunities may exceed the
returns we realize. New investments could have higher cost structures than our current business, which could reduce operating
margins and require more working capital. In the event that working capital requirements exceed operating cash flow, we may
be required to draw on the 2021 Revolving Facility or pursue other external financing, which may not be readily available.
Additionally, our pursuit of new business opportunities that diverge from our core business may expose us to different risks and
uncertainties other than those described in this “Risk Factors” section or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In
addition to the risks outlined above, expansion into certain new markets may require us to compete with local businesses with
greater knowledge of the market, including the tastes and preferences of end-users, and higher market shares.
Our strategic initiatives, including enterprise excellence efforts among other significant capital expenditure projects, may
not achieve the improvements or financial returns we expect.
We utilize a number of tools to improve efficiency and productivity. Implementation of new processes to our operations could
cause disruptions and may prove to be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected. Additionally, from time to time
we undertake substantial capital projects for varying reasons, such as to increase production capacity or to insource certain
products, parts or components. We invest in areas we believe best align with our business strategies and that will optimize
future returns. However, there can be no assurance that all our planned enterprise excellence projects or other capital
expenditures will be fully implemented, or if implemented, will realize the expected improvements or financial returns.
We may not be able to effectively manage and implement restructuring initiatives or other organizational changes.
We have, from time to time, restructured or made other adjustments to our workforce and manufacturing footprint, and may
need to do so in the future, in response to market or product changes, performance issues, changes in strategy, acquisitions and/
or other internal or external considerations. These restructuring activities and other organizational changes often result in
increased restructuring costs, diversion of management’s time and attention from daily operations, cybersecurity and other
operational risks and temporarily reduced productivity. If we are unable to successfully manage and implement restructuring
and other organizational changes, we may not achieve or sustain the expected growth or cost savings benefits of these activities
or do so within the expected timeframe. These effects could recur in connection with future acquisitions and other
organizational changes and our results of operations could be negatively affected.
The effects of global climate change or other unexpected events, including global health crises, may disrupt our operations
and have a negative impact on our business.
The effects of global climate change, such as extreme weather conditions and natural disasters occurring more frequently or
with more intense effects, or the occurrence of unexpected events including wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes,
floods, tsunamis and other severe hazards in the countries where we operate or sell products and services, could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These events could disrupt our operations by impacting
the availability and cost of materials needed for manufacturing, cause physical damage or closure of our manufacturing sites or
distribution centers, lead to loss of human capital and/or cause temporary or long-term disruption in the manufacturing or
delivery of products and services to customers. These events and disruptions could also adversely affect our customers’ and
19
suppliers’ financial condition or ability to operate, resulting in reduced customer demand, delays in payments received or
supply chain disruptions. Further, these events and disruptions could increase insurance and other operating costs, including
impacting our decisions regarding construction of new facilities to select areas less prone to climate change risks and natural
disasters, which could result in indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain or other price modifications to our
products and services.
Additionally, as we have experienced in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic created significant volatility, uncertainty and
economic disruption, both for our business (and many of our customers and suppliers) and the U.S. and global economy more
generally. It also led, both directly and indirectly, to significant operating challenges, including disruptions to our and our
suppliers’ operations, shortages of electronic and other parts and components, freight delays, increased labor shortages and
logistical challenges. Although most governments have eased or eliminated their restrictions on travel and social interactions,
and lifted non-essential business closures, several jurisdictions in which we have operations, such as China, have public health
and government mandates that restrict business activities. These mandates and restrictions have, and could continue to have, an
impact on our business and operations, and on the operations of some of our suppliers.
Global health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or any other actual or threatened epidemic, pandemic, or outbreak and
spread of a communicable disease or virus in the countries where we operate or sell products and provide services could
adversely affect our operations and financial performance. Further, any national, state or local government mandates or other
orders taken to minimize the spread of a global health crisis could restrict our ability to conduct business as usual, as well as the
business activities of our key customers and suppliers, including the potential for labor shortages. In particular, the ultimate
extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other global health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of
operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
We may be subject to risks relating to our information technology and operational technology systems.
We rely extensively on information technology and operational technology systems, networks and services including hardware,
software, firmware and technological applications and platforms (collectively, "IT Systems") to manage and operate our
business from end-to-end, including ordering and managing materials from suppliers, design and development, manufacturing,
marketing, selling and shipping to customers, invoicing and billing, managing our banking and cash liquidity systems,
managing our enterprise resource planning and other accounting and financial systems and complying with regulatory, legal
and tax requirements. There can be no assurance that our current IT Systems will function properly. We have invested and will
continue to invest in improving our IT Systems. Some of these investments are significant and impact many important
operational processes and procedures. There is no assurance that newly implemented IT Systems will improve our current
systems, improve our operations or yield the expected returns on the investments. In addition, the implementation of new IT
Systems may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and cause disruptions in our operations and, if not
properly implemented and maintained, negatively impact our business. If our IT Systems cease to function properly or if these
systems do not provide the anticipated benefits, our ability to manage our operations could be impaired.
We currently rely on third-party service providers for many of the critical elements of our global information and
operational technology infrastructure, and their failure to provide effective support for such infrastructure could increase
our cybersecurity risk or otherwise negatively impact our business and financial results.
We have outsourced many of the critical elements of our global information and operational technology infrastructure to third-
party service providers in order to achieve efficiencies. If such service providers experience a disruption due to a cyberattack or
other internal or external factors, or they do not perform or perform effectively, we may not be able to achieve the expected
efficiencies and may have to incur additional costs to address failures in providing service by the service providers. Depending
on the function involved, such non-performance, ineffective performance or failures of service may lead to business
disruptions, processing inefficiencies or security breaches.
Disruptions or breaches of our information systems could adversely affect us.
Despite our implementation of cybersecurity measures, which have focused on prevention, mitigation, resilience and recovery,
our network and products, including access solutions, may be vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks, computer viruses, malicious
codes, malware, ransomware, phishing, social engineering, denial of service, hacking, break-ins and similar disruptions.
Cybersecurity attacks and intrusion efforts are continuous and evolving, and in certain cases they have been successful at the
most robust institutions. The scope and severity of risks that cyber threats present have increased dramatically and include, but
are not limited to, malicious software, ransomware attacks, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or premises, exploiting
weaknesses related to vendors or other third parties that could be exploited to attack our systems, denials of service and other
electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise
protected information and corruption of data. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows as we face regulatory, reputational and litigation risks resulting from potential
cyber incidents, as well as the potential of incurring significant remediation costs. Further, while we maintain insurance
coverage that may, subject to policy terms and exclusions, cover certain aspects of our cyber risks, such insurance coverage
may be insufficient to cover our losses or all types of claims that may arise in the continually evolving area of cyber risk.
20
Our daily business operations also require us to collect and/or retain sensitive data such as intellectual property, proprietary
business information and data related to customers, employees, suppliers and business partners within our networking
infrastructure including data from individuals subject to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, that is
subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and/or customer-imposed controls. Despite our efforts to protect such data, the
loss or breach of such data due to various causes including material security breaches, catastrophic events, extreme weather,
natural disasters, power outages, system failures, computer viruses, improper data handling, programming errors, unauthorized
access and employee error or malfeasance could result in wide reaching negative impacts to our business. As such, the ongoing
maintenance and security of this information is pertinent to the success of our business operations and our strategic goals.
In addition, we operate in an environment where there are different and potentially conflicting data privacy laws and regulations
in effect or expected to go into effect in the future, including regulations related to devices connected through IoT, in the
various jurisdictions in which we operate, and we must understand and comply with such laws and regulations while ensuring
our data is secure.
Our networking infrastructure and related assets may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers, employee error or
malfeasance or other unforeseen activities. Such issues could result in the disruption of business processes, network degradation
and system downtime, along with the potential that a third party will exploit our critical assets such as intellectual property,
proprietary business information and data related to our customers, suppliers and business partners. To the extent that such
disruptions occur, and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these disruptions in a timely manner, they may
cause delays in the manufacture or shipment of our products and the cancellation of customer orders and, as a result, our
business operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, resulting in a possible loss of
business or brand reputation.
Our ability to successfully grow and expand our business depends on our ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified and
diverse workforce.
Our ability to successfully grow and expand our business is dependent upon our ability to recruit and retain a workforce with
the skills necessary to develop, manufacture and deliver the products and services desired by our customers. We need highly
skilled and qualified personnel in multiple areas, including engineering, sales, manufacturing, information technology,
cybersecurity, business development, strategy and management. We must therefore continue to effectively recruit, retain and
motivate highly qualified, skilled and diverse personnel to maintain our current business and support our projected growth. A
shortage of these employees for various reasons, including intense competition for skilled employees, labor shortages, increased
labor costs, candidates’ preference to work remotely, changes in laws and policies regarding immigration and work
authorizations or any government or public health mandates in jurisdictions where we have operations that may result in
workforce attrition and difficulty with recruiting, may jeopardize our ability to grow and expand our business.
We continue to experience increased labor shortages at some of our production and distribution facilities. While we have
historically experienced some level of ordinary course turnover of employees, the COVID-19 pandemic increased turnover and
the ensuing negative macroeconomic environment exacerbated labor shortages and contributed to further increases in employee
turnover. Labor shortages and increased turnover rates have led to, and could in the future lead to, increased costs, such as
increased overtime to meet customer demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain employees and could negatively
affect our ability to efficiently operate our production facilities or otherwise operate at full capacity. An overall or prolonged
labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or sustained level of wage inflation could have a material adverse
impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Disruptions in our global supply chain, including product manufacturing and logistical services provided by our supplier
partners, may negatively impact our business.
We procure certain products, including raw materials and other commodities, including steel, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous
metals, as well as parts, components (including electronic components) and logistical services from supplier partners located
throughout the world. Our ability to meet our customers' needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to maintain key
manufacturing and supply arrangements, including supplier execution and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing
arrangements. Our reliance on these third parties reduces our control over the manufacturing and delivery process, exposing us
to risks including reduced control over product costs and delivery. Additionally, because not all of our supply arrangements
provide for guaranteed supply and some key parts and components may be available only from a single supplier or a limited
group of suppliers, we are also subject to supply and pricing risks, which could negatively impact our margin performance,
results of operations, inventory levels and cash flows.
If we are unable to effectively manage these relationships, or if these third parties experience delays, disruptions, shortages of
materials, labor, electronic and other components, capacity constraints, regulatory issues or quality control problems in their
operations, freight delays and other supply chain constraints and disruptions, or otherwise fail to meet our future requirements
for timely delivery, our ability to ship and deliver certain of our products to our customers could be impaired and our business
could be harmed.
21
Legal and Compliance Risks
We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and reputational matters.
Our reputation and the reputation of our brands, including the perception held by our customers, end-users, business partners,
investors, other key stakeholders and the communities in which we do business are influenced by various factors. There is an
increased focus from our stakeholders, as well as regulatory authorities both within the U.S. and internationally, on ESG
practices and disclosure. If we fail, or are perceived to have failed, in any number of ESG matters, such as environmental
stewardship, DEI, good corporate governance, workplace conduct and support for local communities, or to effectively respond
to changes in, or new, legal, regulatory or reporting requirements concerning climate change or other sustainability concerns,
we may be subject to regulatory fines and penalties, and our reputation or the reputation of our brands may suffer. Further, we
have made several public commitments regarding our intended reduction of carbon emissions, including a commitment to
achieve carbon neutral emissions by 2050. Although we intend to meet these commitments, we may be required to expend
significant resources to do so, which could increase our operational costs. Further, there can be no assurance of the extent to
which any of our commitments will be achieved, or that any future investments we make to achieve such commitments will
meet investor, legal and/or any other regulatory expectations and requirements. If we are unable to meet our commitments, we
could incur adverse publicity and reaction from investors, advocacy groups or other stakeholders, which could adversely impact
our reputation and brand perception. Such damage to our reputation and the reputation of our brands may negatively impact our
business, demand for our products and services, our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or networking websites about our company or our
brands could generate adverse publicity that could damage our reputation or the reputation of our brands. If we are unable to
effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about product quality, safety, corporate social responsibility or
other matters, sentiments toward the Company or our products could be negatively impacted, and our financial results could
suffer.
Our brands are important assets of our businesses, and violation of our trademark rights by imitators could negatively
impact revenues and brand reputation.
Our brands and trademarks enjoy a reputation for quality and value and are important to our success and competitive position.
Unauthorized use of our trademarks may not only erode sales of our products but may also cause significant damage to our
brand name and reputation, interfere with relationships with our customers and increase litigation costs. There can be no
assurance that our on-going effort to protect our brand and trademark rights will prevent all violations.
Material legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements imposed against us or our assets could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are currently, and may in the future become, involved in legal proceedings, claims and disputes incidental to the operation
of our business in the ordinary course. Our business may be adversely affected by the outcome of these proceedings and other
contingencies (including, without limitation, environmental, product and warranty liability, claims for property damage,
physical harm or bodily injury, antitrust, intellectual property, data protection, privacy and labor and employment matters) that
cannot be predicted with certainty. As required by GAAP, we establish reserves based on our assessment of the probability of
contingencies and whether we are able to reasonably estimate the expected range of loss. Subsequent developments in legal
proceedings and other contingencies may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve, and
we may incur additional costs or be required to make material payments beyond our previously recorded reserves.
Allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties could negatively affect us.
We may be subject to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights by third parties. In particular, we often compete in
areas having extensive intellectual property rights owned by others, and we have become subject to claims alleging
infringement of intellectual property rights of others. In general, if it is determined that one or more of our technologies,
products or services infringes the intellectual property rights owned by others, we may be required to cease marketing those
products or services, to obtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at a material cost or to take other actions to
avoid infringing such intellectual property rights. The litigation process is costly and subject to inherent uncertainties, and we
may not prevail in litigation matters regardless of the merits of our position. Adverse intellectual property litigation or claims of
infringement against us may become extremely disruptive if the plaintiffs succeed in blocking the trade of our products and
services and may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our reputation, ability to do business and results of operations could be impaired by improper conduct by any of our
employees, agents or business partners.
We are subject to regulation under a variety of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies including laws
related to anti-bribery and anti-corruption, export and import compliance, competition and anti-money laundering due to our
global operations. We provide compliance training for our employees and have other controls and procedures in these areas. We
cannot provide assurance that our internal controls will always protect us from the improper conduct of our employees, agents
and business partners. Any improper conduct could damage our reputation and subject us to, among other things, civil and
22
criminal penalties, material fines, equitable remedies (including profit disgorgement and injunctions on future conduct),
securities litigation, adverse publicity and a general loss of investor or public confidence.
Our operations are subject to regulatory risks.
Our U.S. and non-U.S. operations are subject to a number of laws and regulations, including fire and building codes and EHS
standards. We have incurred, and will be required to continue to incur, significant expenditures to comply with these laws and
regulations. Changes to, or changes in interpretations of, current laws and regulations, including climate change legislation or
other environmental mandates, could require us to increase our compliance expenditures, cause us to significantly alter or
discontinue offering existing products and services or cause us to develop new products and services. Altering current products
and services or developing new products and services to comply with changes in the applicable laws and regulations could
require significant research and development investments, increase the cost of providing the products and services and
adversely affect the demand for our products and services. In the event a regulatory authority concludes that we are not or have
not at all times been in full compliance with these laws or regulations, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise
sanctioned.
Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners of real property or operators of manufacturing
facilities for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances or materials at such properties or at
properties at which parties have disposed of hazardous substances. Liability for investigative, removal and remedial costs under
certain U.S. federal and state laws and certain non-U.S. laws are retroactive, strict and joint and several. In addition to cleanup
actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of,
or exposure to, hazardous substances. We have received notifications from U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies, including
the EPA and similar state environmental agencies, that conditions at a number of current and formerly owned sites where we
and others have disposed of hazardous substances require investigation, cleanup and other possible remedial action. These
agencies may require that we reimburse the government for its costs incurred at these sites or otherwise pay for the costs of
investigation and cleanup of these sites, including by providing compensation for natural resource damage claims from such
sites. For more information, see "Item 1. Business – Regulatory Matters."
While we have planned for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental laws and have
accrued for costs related to current remedial efforts, our costs of compliance, or our liabilities arising from past or future
releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances, may exceed our estimates. We may also be subject to additional
environmental claims for personal injury or cost recovery actions for remediation of facilities in the future based on our past,
present or future business activities.
As a global business, we have a relatively complex tax structure, and there is a risk that tax authorities will disagree with our
tax positions.
Since we conduct operations worldwide through our subsidiaries, we are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations in the
countries in which we operate. Transfer pricing regulations generally require that, for tax purposes, transactions between us and
our affiliates be priced on a basis that would be comparable to an arm's length transaction and that contemporaneous
documentation be maintained to support the tax allocation. Although uniform transfer pricing standards are emerging in many
of the countries in which we operate, there is still a relatively high degree of uncertainty and inherent subjectivity in complying
with these rules. To the extent that any tax authority disagrees with our transfer pricing policies, we could become subject to
significant tax liabilities and penalties. Our tax returns are subject to review by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which
we operate. Although we believe we have provided for all tax exposures, the ultimate outcome of a tax review could differ
materially from our provisions.
We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities.
Our future effective tax rate and cash tax obligations could be adversely affected by shifts in our mix of earnings in countries
with varying statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws,
regulations, interpretations or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. In addition, we are subject to regular
review and audit by tax authorities. As a result, we have received, and may in the future receive, assessments in multiple
jurisdictions on various tax-related assertions. Any adverse outcome of such a review or audit could have a negative effect on
our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and
other tax liabilities requires significant judgment, and there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the
amounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or
periods for which such determination is made. Furthermore, due to shifting economic and political conditions, tax policies,
laws, interpretations and rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, which could materially affect our
financial position and results of operations. For example, many countries in Europe, as well as a number of other countries and
organizations, have recently proposed, recommended or implemented changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws
that could significantly increase our effective tax rate or cash tax obligations in countries where we do business or require us to
change the manner in which we operate our business.
23
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) has led international efforts in recent years to devise
a permanent two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges arising from the digitization of the economy. Pillar One focuses on
nexus and profit allocation. Pillar Two provides for a global minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15%, applied on a
jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. We currently expect to be outside the scope of the Pillar One proposals. In December 2021,
the OECD published detailed rules that define the scope of the Pillar Two proposal and, based on our current understanding of
the minimum revenue thresholds contained in these rules, we expect to be within their scope and implementation. A number of
countries are currently proposing to implement core elements of the Pillar Two proposal by the start of 2024, and on December
15, 2022, the European Union adopted a Council Directive which requires certain Pillar Two rules to be transposed into
member states’ national laws starting in 2024. As a consequence, our global effective tax rate could be materially impacted by
such legislation, or any resulting local country legislation enacted in response to any potential global minimum tax rates.
Additionally, the European Commission has been investigating whether various tax regimes or private tax rulings provided by a
country to particular taxpayers may constitute State Aid.
We cannot currently predict the outcome of any of these potential changes or investigations in any jurisdiction, but if any of the
above occurs and impacts us, this could increase our tax burden and/or effective tax rate. We continue to examine the impact
the above items may have on our business, including their impact on the amount of tax we must pay.
Risks Related to Our Incorporation in Ireland
Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.
The U.S. currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in
civil and commercial matters. As such, there is some uncertainty as to whether the courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce
judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on U.S. federal or state civil liability laws,
including the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, or hear actions against us or those persons
based on those laws.
As an Irish company, we are governed by the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland, as amended, which differs in some material
respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to
interested director and officer transactions and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of an Irish
company generally are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally do not have a personal right of
action against directors or officers of the company and may exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company only in
limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of our securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would
holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the U.S.
In addition, Irish law allows shareholders to authorize share capital which then can be issued by a board of directors without
shareholder approval. Also, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory preemptive rights to existing shareholders
to subscribe for new issuances of shares for cash. At our annual general meeting of shareholders, our shareholders authorized
our Board of Directors to issue up to 33% of our issued ordinary shares and further authorized our Board of Directors to issue
up to 5% of such shares for cash without first offering them to our existing shareholders. Both of these authorizations will
expire after a certain period unless renewed by our shareholders, and we cannot guarantee that the renewal of these
authorizations will always be approved. If the Directors' authority to issue ordinary shares is not renewed, then we may be
limited in our ability to use our shares, for example, as consideration for acquisitions.
Changes in tax laws, regulations or treaties, changes in our status under the tax laws of many jurisdictions or adverse
determinations by taxing authorities could increase our tax burden or otherwise affect our financial condition or operating
results, as well as subject our shareholders to additional taxes.
The realization of any tax benefit related to our incorporation and tax residence in Ireland could be impacted by changes in tax
laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the tax authorities of many jurisdictions.
From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation introduced to change the tax laws of various jurisdictions or
limit tax treaty benefits that if enacted could materially increase our tax burden and/or our effective tax rate. Moreover, other
legislative proposals could have a material adverse impact on us by overriding certain tax treaties and limiting the treaty
benefits on certain payments, which could increase our tax liability. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislation
in any jurisdiction.
While we monitor proposals that would materially impact our tax burden and/or our effective tax rate and investigate our
options, we could still be subject to increased taxation on a going forward basis no matter what action we undertake if certain
proposals are enacted, certain tax treaties are amended and/or our interpretation of applicable tax law is challenged and
determined to be incorrect. In particular, any changes and/or differing interpretations of applicable tax law that have the effect
of disregarding our incorporation in Ireland, limiting our ability to take advantage of tax treaties between jurisdictions,
modifying or eliminating the deductibility of various currently deductible payments or increasing the tax burden of operating or
being resident in a particular country, could subject us to increased taxation.
24
Dividends received by our shareholders may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.
In certain circumstances, we are required to deduct Irish dividend withholding tax of 25% from dividends paid to our
shareholders. In the majority of cases, shareholders residing in the U.S. will not be subject to Irish withholding tax, and
shareholders resident in a number of other countries will not be subject to Irish withholding tax provided that they complete
certain Irish dividend withholding tax forms. However, some shareholders may be subject to withholding tax, which could
discourage the investment in our stock and adversely impact the price of our shares.
Dividends received by our shareholders may be subject to Irish income tax.
Dividends paid in respect of our shares generally are not subject to Irish income tax where the beneficial owner of these
dividends is exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax, unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with
Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Allegion.
Our shareholders who receive their dividends subject to Irish dividend withholding tax will generally have no further liability to
Irish income tax on the dividends unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland other than his or
her shareholding in Allegion.
Certain provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, among other things, could prevent or delay an
acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our ordinary shares.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association contains provisions to deter takeover practices, inadequate takeover bids and
unsolicited offers. These provisions include, amongst others:
•
•
•
•
A provision of our Articles of Association which generally prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with
an interested shareholder (being (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of our voting shares or
(ii) an affiliate or associate of us that has at any time within the last five years been the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of 10% or more of our voting shares), subject to certain exceptions;
Rules regarding how shareholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings;
The right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval in certain circumstances,
subject to applicable law; and
The ability of our Board of Directors to set the number of directors and to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors.
We believe these provisions will provide some protection to our shareholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover
tactics. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if the
offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our Board of Directors
determines is in our best interests and our shareholders' best interests. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts
to remove and replace incumbent directors.
In addition, several mandatory provisions of Irish law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us. For example, Irish law does
not permit shareholders of an Irish public limited company to take action by written consent with less than unanimous consent.
We also will be subject to various provisions of Irish law relating to mandatory bids, voluntary bids, requirements to make a
cash offer and minimum price requirements, as well as substantial acquisition rules and rules requiring the disclosure of
interests in our shares in certain circumstances. Also, Irish companies, including us, may alter their Memorandum of
Association and Articles of Association only with the approval of at least 75% of the votes of the company’s shareholders cast
in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company.
Item 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
We operate through a broad network of sales offices, engineering centers, 29 principal production and assembly facilities and
several distribution centers throughout the world. Our active properties represent about 6.7 million square feet, of which
approximately 41% is leased.
We own 16 of our production and assembly facilities, with the remainder under long-term lease arrangements. We believe that
our plants have been well maintained, are generally in good condition and are suitable for the conduct of our business.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we are involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including commercial
and contract disputes, employment matters, product liability claims, environmental liabilities, intellectual property disputes and

PART II
Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our ordinary shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ALLE. As of February 16, 2023, the
number of record holders of ordinary shares was 2,054.
Dividend Policy
Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $0.41 per ordinary share on February 4, 2022, April 7, 2022, September 1, 2022
and December 1, 2022. On February 9, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.45 per ordinary share payable on
March 31, 2023, to shareholders of record on March 15, 2023. We paid a total of $143.9 million in cash for dividends to
ordinary shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2022. Future dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be at the
discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and
surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions (including under the agreements governing our indebtedness) and other
factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant, as well as our ability to pay dividends in compliance with the Irish
Companies Act. Under the Irish Companies Act, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves.
Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of Allegion plc ("ALLE-Ireland") which are unrelated to
any GAAP reported amounts (e.g., retained earnings). As of December 31, 2022, we had distributable reserves of $3.8 billion.
In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of ALLE-Ireland are equal to, or in excess of, the
aggregate of ALLE-Ireland’s called up share capital plus undistributable reserves, and the distribution or dividend does not
reduce ALLE-Ireland’s net assets below such aggregate.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in
the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under
Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more
detailed information, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Organization
We are a leading global provider of security products and solutions operating in two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion
International. We sell a wide range of security products and solutions for end-users in commercial, institutional and residential
facilities worldwide, including the education, healthcare, government, hospitality, retail, commercial office and single and
multi-family residential markets. Our leading brands include CISA, Interflex, LCN, Schlage, SimonsVoss and Von Duprin.
Recent Developments
Industry Trends and Outlook
Throughout 2022 we experienced strong demand for our non-residential products and services in our Allegion Americas
segment. Our ability to meet this elevated level of customer demand improved substantially as the year progressed, due in part
to our actions taken to address industry-wide supply-chain challenges (particularly shortages of electronic components), as well
as improving availability of non-electronic parts and materials. Further, in response to the persistent, elevated levels of inflation
seen throughout the year, we implemented a series of pricing initiatives across our global businesses. Not only did these pricing
initiatives significantly contribute to revenue growth in 2022, they also helped mitigate the inflationary pressures on our cost
base. We expect this pricing momentum to continue to drive revenue growth and help offset the impact of inflation into 2023.
While 2022 began with similar strong demand for our residential products in our Allegion Americas segment, macroeconomic
conditions had a more challenging impact on demand as the year progressed. A combination of elevated inflation and lower
consumer sentiment impacted sales volumes of residential products within our Allegion Americas segment. We also
experienced a softening of demand throughout many of the Eurozone economies during the second half of 2022, reflecting
increased economic and geopolitical concerns in this region, which impacted several of our businesses in our Allegion
International segment.
While supply chain challenges around the availability of electronic parts and components persist, and will likely continue to
impact our ability to meet the elevated levels of demand for our electronic security products into 2023, we remain focused on
providing exceptional service and innovation to our customers. Over the course of 2022, we began to realize the benefits from
our measures taken to mitigate operational and logistical inefficiencies caused by the supply chain challenges, such as re-
engineering product designs and configurations to accept alternate electronic components and developing alternate sources of
supply. We continue to invest in business initiatives to drive future growth and add value through seamless access and explore
various options to enhance financial performance while minimizing disruption to customers and our overall business.
The macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and uncertainties noted above will likely continue to affect us in numerous and
evolving ways, the full impact of which on our business, financial condition and results of operations will continue to depend
on future developments that are beyond our control and we may not be able to accurately predict. These trends and uncertainties
and their potential impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as other risks, trends
and uncertainties that could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations are described further under "Part I,
Item 1A. Risk Factors".
2022 and 2021 Significant Events
Acquisition of the Access Technologies business
On July 5, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the Access Technologies business for a closing purchase price of
$923.1 million. This acquisition was financed by the net proceeds from the issuance of our 5.411% Senior Notes, together with
borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility. The Access Technologies business has been integrated into our Allegion
Americas segment
The Access Technologies business is a leading manufacturer, installer and service provider of automatic entrance solutions in
North America, primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Its diversified customer base centers on non-residential settings, including
retail, healthcare, education, commercial offices, hospitality and government. This acquisition helps us create a more
comprehensive portfolio of access solutions, with the addition of automated entrance solutions. Additionally, the Access
29
Technologies business adds an expansive service and support network throughout the U.S. and Canada, broadening our
solutions to national, regional and local customers, and complementing our existing strengths in these non-residential markets.
Since the acquisition date and through December 31, 2022, the Access Technologies business generated $185.9 million in Net
revenues.
Divestiture of Milre
In September 2022, we sold Milre Systek Co. Ltd. ("Milre") in South Korea for an immaterial amount. As a result of the sale,
we recorded a net loss on divestiture of $7.6 million.
Financing activities
On June 22, 2022, Allegion US Holding Company Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Allegion US Hold Co"),
issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “5.411% Senior Notes”). The
5.411% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on January 1 and July 1, beginning January 1, 2023, and will
mature on July 1, 2032. We incurred and deferred $5.9 million of discounts and financing costs associated with the 5.411%
Senior Notes, which will be amortized to Interest expense over their 10-year term, as well as $4.3 million of third party
financing costs that were recorded within Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the
year ended December 31, 2022.
On November 18, 2021, we entered into a new $750.0 million unsecured credit agreement, consisting of the $250.0 million
2021 Term Facility and the $500.0 million 2021 Revolving Facility. The proceeds of $250.0 million from the 2021 Term
Facility were primarily used to repay in full our previously outstanding unsecured Term Facility.
2022 Dividends and Share Repurchases
We paid quarterly dividends of $0.41 per ordinary share to shareholders on record as of March 16, 2022, June 16, 2022,
September 16, 2022, and December 16, 2022, for a total of $143.9 million and repurchased approximately 0.5 million ordinary
shares for approximately $61.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the years
presented and form the basis used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the business. For a discussion of our
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, see “Part II, Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2021 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022.
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased by 14.1%, or $404.5 million, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2021, due to the following:
Pricing
Volume
Acquisitions / divestitures
Currency exchange rates
Total
9.8 %
0.9 %
6.4 %
(3.0) %
14.1 %
The increase in Net revenues was driven by improved pricing across our major businesses, our acquisition of the Access
Technologies business and higher volumes in our Allegion Americas segment. These increases were partially offset by
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, lower volumes in our Allegion International segment and a divestiture
in each of the prior and current year. Increased pricing was the result of multiple pricing initiatives implemented to help
mitigate the impact of the persistent, elevated levels of inflation. We will continue to monitor the inflationary pressures to our
businesses and address them through pricing initiatives where appropriate.
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.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Net revenues increased to 59.6% from 58.0%, as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:
Inflation in excess of pricing and productivity
Volume / product mix
Acquisitions / divestitures
Investment spending
Currency exchange rates
Restructuring / acquisition expenses
Total
31
0.7 %
(0.9) %
0.7 %
0.2 %
0.3 %
0.6 %
1.6 %
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Net revenues increased primarily due to the impact inflation had on Cost of goods sold,
which exceeded the beneficial impacts from pricing and productivity, lower gross margins associated with our acquired Access
Technologies business, increased investment spending, higher restructuring and acquisition and integration costs year-over-year
and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These increases to Cost of goods sold as a percentage of Net
revenues were partially offset by favorable product mix, due to increased volumes in the Allegion Americas segment.
Inflation in excess of pricing and productivity includes the impact to Costs of goods sold from pricing, as defined above, in
addition to productivity and inflation. Productivity represents improvements in unit costs of materials and cost reductions
related to improvements to our manufacturing design and processes. Inflation includes unit costs for the current period
compared to the average actual cost for the prior period, multiplied by current year volumes. Volume/product mix represents
the impact 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.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues decreased to
22.5% from 23.5%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:
Productivity in excess of inflation
Volume leverage
Acquisitions / divestitures
Investment spending
Restructuring / acquisition expenses
Total
(1.5) %
(0.2) %
(0.3) %
0.3 %
0.7 %
(1.0) %
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues decreased primarily due to productivity improvements
exceeding the impact of inflation, as well as favorable volume leverage and the beneficial impact from current and prior year
acquisition and divestiture activity. These decreases were partially offset by a year-over-year increase in acquisition and
integration expenses, which were primarily related to our acquisition of the Access Technologies business, and increased
investment spending.
Productivity in excess of inflation includes the impact from reductions in selling and administrative expenses due to
productivity projects and current period costs of ongoing selling and administrative functions compared to the same ongoing
expenses in the prior period. Volume leverage represents the contribution margin related to changes in sales volume, excluding
the impact of price, productivity, mix and inflation. Expenses related to increased head count for strategic initiatives, new
facilities or significant spending for strategic initiatives or new product and channel development, are captured in Investment
spending in the table above.
Operating Income/Margin
Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $56.2 million as compared to the year ended December 31,
2021, and Operating margin decreased to 17.9% from 18.5%, due to the following:

The increase in Operating income was driven by pricing improvements in excess of inflation and productivity, favorable
volume/product mix and the contribution to Operating income from our acquired Access Technologies business. These
increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, increased investment spending and a
year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition and integration expenses, which were primarily related to our
acquisition of the Access Technologies business.
The decrease in Operating margin was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses,
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, increased investment spending and the dilutive impact to Operating
32
margin from our Access Technologies business. These decreases were partially offset by pricing improvements in excess of
inflation and productivity, favorable volume/product mix and the positive impact to operating margin from recent divestitures.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $25.7 million as compared to the year ended December 31,
2021, primarily due to interest on our 5.411% Senior Notes and the 2021 Revolving Facility, as well as $4.3 million of third-
party costs related to the financing of the Access Technologies business acquisition. The rise in interest rates over the course of
2022 also contributed to a higher weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate outstanding indebtedness.
Loss on Divestiture
As discussed above, in September 2022 we sold Milre for an immaterial amount, resulting in a net loss of $7.6 million.
Other Income, net
The components of Other income, net, for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Other income, net decreased $32.4 million compared to 2021, primarily due to a non-
operating investment gain of $20.7 in 2021 that did not recur in 2022. This gain is included within Other in the table above.
Also contributing to the decrease in Other income, net, are a prior year gain of $6.4 million from the sale of an equity method
investment that did not recur in 2022 and a decrease in other realized and unrealized investment gains year-over-year.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the year ended December 31, 2022, our effective tax rate was 10.9%, compared to 7.8% for the year ended December 31,
2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the favorable resolutions of uncertain tax positions, changes in
jurisdictional tax rates and other discrete tax benefits in 2021 that have not recurred in 2022 and the mix of income earned in
higher tax rate jurisdictions.
Review of Business Segments
We operate in and report financial results for two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. These segments
represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews our financial performance and makes operating
decisions.
Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that our chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the
financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. For these
reasons, we believe 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.

Allegion Americas
Our Allegion Americas segment is a leading provider of security products, services and solutions throughout North America.
The segment sells a broad range of products and solutions including, locks, locksets, portable locks, key systems, door controls
and systems, exit devices, doors, accessories, electronic security products, access control systems and software and service
solutions to customers in commercial, institutional and residential facilities, including the education, healthcare, government,
hospitality, retail, commercial office and single and multi-family residential markets. This segment’s primary brands are LCN,
Schlage, Von Duprin and Stanley Access Technologies, which we utilize with permission in accordance with the terms of the
Access Technologies acquisition agreement ("Stanley" is the property of Stanley Logistics L.L.C).
Net revenues
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased by 23.1%, or $479.4 million, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2021, due to the following:
Pricing
Volume
Acquisitions
Currency exchange rates
Total
11.4 %
3.0 %
9.0 %
(0.3) %
23.1 %
The increase in Net revenues was driven by significantly improved pricing, higher volumes for our non-residential products and
our Access Technologies business acquisition. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange
rate movements and lower volumes for our residential products. Increased pricing was the result of multiple pricing initiatives
implemented to help mitigate the impact of persistent, elevated levels of inflation. We will continue to monitor the inflationary
pressures to our businesses and address them through pricing initiatives where appropriate.
Net revenues from non-residential products (excluding Net revenues from our acquired Access Technologies business),
increased by a low twenties percent compared to the prior year, driven by improved pricing and higher volumes. Strong demand
throughout 2022 and improvements around the availability of materials and components, driven in part by our actions to
mitigate these supply-chain challenges, helped drive the increase in volumes compared to 2021.
Net revenues from residential products decreased by a low single digits percent compared to the prior year. Increased pricing
was offset by lower volumes during the year. During the second half of 2022, we experienced a softening in market demand for
our residential products, due in part to elevated inflation and lower consumer sentiment, which resulted in reduced sales
volumes. Further, market conditions for new residential construction deteriorated over the latter half of 2022, due in part to a
rapid and substantial increase in mortgage rates. Given these factors, we anticipate softness in demand for our residential
products to continue into 2023.
Growth in electronic security products and solutions is a metric monitored by management and a focus of our investors.
Electronic products encompass both residential and non-residential products, and include all electrified product categories
including, but not limited to, electronic and electrified locks, access control systems and electronic and electrified door controls
and systems and exit devices. Net revenues from the sale of electronic products increased by a high teens percent compared to
2021, driven by improved pricing and higher volumes. While we continue to experience delays and shortages of electronic
components from key suppliers, we expect continued growth from the sale of electronic products in 2023 given the combination
of our pricing initiatives and our actions taken to mitigate these delays and shortages.

Segment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased $88.3 million, and Segment operating margin
decreased to 24.0% from 25.3% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

The increase in Segment operating income was primarily driven by pricing improvements in excess of inflation and
productivity, favorable volume/product mix and the contribution to Segment operating income from our acquired Access
Technologies business. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements,
increased investment spending and a year-over-year increase in acquisition and integration expenses, which were primarily
related to our acquisition of the Access Technologies business.
The decrease in Segment operating margin was primarily due to the year-over-year increase in acquisition and integration
expenses, the impact to Segment operating margin from our Access Technologies business, increased investment spending and
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These decreases were partially offset by favorable volume/product
mix.
Allegion International
Our Allegion International segment provides security products, services and solutions primarily throughout Europe, Asia and
Oceania. The segment offers end-users a broad range of products, services and solutions including locks, locksets, portable
locks, key systems, door controls and systems, exit devices, doors, electronic security products, access control systems, time
and attendance and workforce productivity solutions, among other software and service solutions. This segment’s primary
brands are AXA, Bricard, Briton, CISA, Gainsborough, Interflex and SimonsVoss.
Net revenues
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, decreased by 9.4%, or $74.9 million, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2021, due to the following:

The decrease in Net revenues was driven by lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, due to
the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to most of the currencies in which we do business throughout our Allegion
International segment. Both a prior year and current year divestiture also contributed slightly to the decrease in Net revenues.
These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing.
As discussed above, softening demand throughout much of the Eurozone in 2022 has impacted several of our businesses in our
Allegion International segment. Additionally, COVID-19 related lockdowns in China throughout the year also contributed to
lower volumes. While we anticipate pricing initiatives to continue to positively contribute to revenue growth in 2023, volume
growth will likely continue to be tempered until prevailing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions improve.
Operating income margin
Segment operating income for the year ended December 31, 2022, decreased $14.1 million, and Segment operating margin
decreased to 9.5% from 10.4% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, due to the following:

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
our operating activities, our unused availability under the 2021 Revolving Facility and our access to the capital and credit
markets enable us to fund these capital needs, execute our long-term growth strategies and return value to our shareholders.
Further, our business operates with strong operating cash flows, low leverage and low capital intensity, providing financial
flexibility, including sufficient access to credit markets.
Our short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, restructuring initiatives, capital spending,
dividend payments and principal and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs depend largely on
potential growth opportunities, including potential acquisitions, repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations and
repurchases of our ordinary shares. Of our total outstanding indebtedness as of December 31, 2022, approximately 85% incurs
fixed-rate interest and is therefore not exposed to the risk of rising variable interest rates.
Based upon our operations, existing cash balances and unused availability under the 2021 Revolving Facility, as of
December 31, 2022, we expect cash flows from operations to be sufficient to maintain a sound financial position and liquidity
and to meet our 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 availability under
the 2021 Credit Facilities and access to 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 years ended December 31. For additional details, see the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, decreased by $29.1
million compared to 2021, driven primarily by changes in working capital.
Investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, increased by $962.5 million
compared to 2021, primarily due to $923.1 million of cash paid for our acquisition of the Access Technologies business, as well
as an increase of $18.6 million in capital expenditures compared to 2021.
Financing activities: Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, changed by
$966.3 million compared to 2021, primarily due to the $600.0 million issuance of our 5.411% Senior Notes to help finance the
acquisition of the Access Technologies business. Additionally, cash used to repurchase shares was $351.8 million lower in 2022
compared to 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, we have an unsecured Credit Agreement in place, consisting of the $250.0 million 2021 Term
Facility, of which $237.5 million was outstanding at December 31, 2022, and the 2021 Revolving Facility (together with the
2021 Term Facility, the “2021 Credit Facilities”). The 2021 Credit Facilities mature on November 18, 2026. The 2021 Term
Facility will amortize in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting March 31, 2022 through March
31, 2025, 2.5% per quarter starting June 30, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with the balance due on November 18, 2026.
Principal amounts repaid on the Term Facility may not be reborrowed.
The 2021 Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for
the issuance of letters of credit. On July 1, 2022, we borrowed $340.0 million under the 2021 Revolving Facility to partially
fund our acquisition of the Access Technologies business. We subsequently repaid $271.0 million, resulting in $69.0 million of
borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2022. We also had $13.2 million of letters of credit
outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time
without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest at our option of (i) a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank
Yield Index (“BSBY”) rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.875% to 1.375% depending on our credit ratings. At December 31, 2022,
outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrued interest at BSBY plus a margin of 1.125%, resulting in an
interest rate of 5.498%. The Credit Agreement also contains negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that,
among other things, limit or restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to
comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined within the agreement. As of December 31, 2022, our leverage ratio of
approximately 2.5 was significantly below the covenant requirement, and we do not anticipate any potential concerns for at
least the next 12 months.
On June 22, 2022, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “5.411% Senior
Notes”). The 5.411% Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on January 1 and July 1, beginning January 1, 2023,
and will mature on July 1, 2032. We incurred and deferred $5.9 million of discounts and financing costs associated with the
5.411% Senior Notes, which will be amortized to Interest expense over their 10-year term, as well as $4.3 million of third party
financing costs that were recorded within Interest expense.
As of December 31, 2022, we also have $400.0 million outstanding of 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior
Notes”), $400.0 million outstanding of 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million
outstanding of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “3.500% Senior Notes”, and all four senior notes collectively, the "Senior
Notes"). The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 3.500% Senior Notes all require semi-annual interest payments
on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024, October 1, 2027, and October 1, 2029, respectively.
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 December 31, 2022, 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 were required.
Scheduled future principal repayments on our outstanding indebtedness can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Expected principal and interest payments related to our long-term indebtedness in 2023 amount to $12.6 million
and $90.9 million, respectively, given our current level of indebtedness and effective interest rates as of December 31, 2022.
37
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
In addition to the scheduled principal and interest payments discussed above, our material cash requirements include the
following contractual and other obligations:
Purchase Commitments – We occasionally enter into short-term, firm purchase commitments to mitigate pricing risk related to
certain of our commodity, parts and component purchases, which represent commitments under enforceable and legally binding
agreements. Such purchase commitments are made in the normal course of business and are not anticipated to materially impact
our liquidity or financial position over the next 12 months.
Leases – We have numerous real estate and equipment leasing arrangements for which we are a lessee. See Note 11 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information as to the short and long-term lease liabilities included within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as future minimum lease payments for 2023 and future years.
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. None of our defined benefit plans have experienced a
significant impact on their liquidity due to volatility in the markets.
At December 31, 2022, we had net pension liabilities of $12.1 million, which consist of plan assets of $490.7 million and
benefit obligations of $502.8 million. It is our objective to contribute to our pension plans in order to ensure adequate funds are
available to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. At December 31, 2022, the funded
status of our U.S. pension plans increased to 97.8% from 97.2% at December 31, 2021. The funded status for our non-U.S.
pension plans decreased to 97.4% at December 31, 2022 from 107.7% at December 31, 2021. The funded status for all of our
pension plans at December 31, 2022 decreased to 97.6% from 103.0% at December 31, 2021. We currently expect to contribute
approximately $12 million to our plans worldwide in 2023.
Determining the costs and obligations associated with our defined benefit plans is dependent on various actuarial assumptions
including discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, employee mortality and turnover rates. Changes in any of the
assumptions can have an impact on the net periodic pension benefit cost. An estimated 0.5% rate decline in the discount rate
would have increased net periodic pension benefit cost by approximately $0.6 million in 2022, while a 0.5% rate decline in the
estimated return on assets would have increased net periodic pension benefit cost by approximately $2.4 million. For further
details on defined benefit plan activity, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes – At December 31, 2022, we have total unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $45.2 million and
$11.0 million of related accrued interest and penalties, net of tax, although we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing over
which these liabilities might be paid. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding
matters relating to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits and tax authority disputes.
Contingent Liabilities – We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to
environmental, asbestos-related and product liability matters. We believe that these liabilities are subject to the uncertainties
inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and will likely be resolved over an extended period of time. See
Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Guarantor Financial Information
Allegion US Hold Co is the issuer of the 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 5.411% Senior Notes and is the
guarantor of the 3.500% Senior Notes. Allegion plc (the “Parent”) is the issuer of the 3.500% Senior Notes and is the guarantor
of the 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 5.411% 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 and 5.411% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion US
Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. The guarantee of the 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 5.411% Senior Notes is 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 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
38
subsidiaries of the Guarantor, none of which guarantee the notes. The obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee are
limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and, therefore,
are limited to the amount that the Guarantor could guarantee without such Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance; this
limitation, however, may not be effective to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance. If the
Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other
contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, the Guarantor’s liability on its
Guarantee could be reduced to zero. In such an event, the notes would be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and
other liabilities of the Guarantor.
For further details, terms and conditions of the Senior Notes refer to the Company’s Forms 8-K filed October 2, 2017,
September 27, 2019, and June 22, 2022.
The following tables present the summarized financial information specified in Rule 1-02(bb)(1) of Regulation S-X for each
issuer and guarantor. The summarized financial information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-
X.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Consolidated
Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP requires management to use judgment 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, revenues 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. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our
results for the period in which they become known.
The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical:
•
Goodwill – Goodwill is tested annually during the fourth quarter for impairment or when there is a significant change in
events or circumstances that indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying
39
amount. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and starts with a comparison of the carrying
amount of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying
amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds
its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of
the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill.
As quoted market prices are not available for our reporting units, the calculation of their estimated fair values is based on
two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market multiple of earnings (market
approach), with each method being weighted in the calculation. The income approach relies on our estimates of revenue
growth rates, margin assumptions and discount rates to estimate future cash flows and explicitly addresses factors such
as timing, with due consideration given to forecasting risk. These assumptions are subject to varying degrees of judgment
and complexity. Estimates of future revenue growth rates and margin assumptions represent our best estimates of future
cash flows given our expectations of market growth for the security products industry in the specific markets in which
we operate, as well as factors such as our market positioning, brand strength, pricing and marketing efforts and other
growth and productivity opportunities and initiatives. Discount rate assumptions represent our best estimates of market
participant adjusted weighted-average costs of capital. Although these assumptions represent our best estimates as of the
assessment date, certain factors could potentially create variances in these estimates, including, but not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
Decreases in estimated market sizes or market growth rates due to greater than expected declines in volumes,
pricing pressures or disruptive technology;
Declines in our market share and penetration assumptions due to increased competition or an inability to
develop or launch new products;
The impacts of market volatility, including but not limited to, impacts of global pandemics, greater than
expected inflation, supply chain disruption and delays, declines in pricing, reductions in volumes or fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates;
The level of success of on-going and future research and development efforts, including those related to
acquisitions, and increases in the research and development costs necessary to obtain regulatory approvals and
launch new products; and
Volatility in market interest rates that could impact the selection of an appropriate discount rate.
The market approach requires determining an appropriate peer group, which is utilized to derive estimated fair values of
our reporting units based on selected market multiples. The market approach reflects the market’s expectations for future
growth and risk, with adjustments to account for differences between the selected peer group companies and the subject
reporting units. While market multiples are based on observable, arm’s-length evidence of value, these assumptions are
still subject to inherent uncertainty, as the peer-group companies may differ in significant ways from one or more of our
reporting units in terms of size, growth or business characteristics.
The critical accounting estimates and assumptions discussed above, include our estimates of revenue growth rates and
margin assumptions, discount rates, our selection of an appropriate peer group and selected market multiples. These
estimates and assumptions are considered critical, as they are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity. The
selection of an applicable peer group has not significantly changed in recent years. Forecasted revenue growth rates and
margin assumptions are updated annually and often fluctuate from year to year due to a myriad of factors, such as our
assessment of the macroeconomic conditions throughout the major markets in which we do business, navigating the
COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges, elevated levels of inflation in recent years and pricing initiatives to offset
inflation, market acceptance of new product innovation, investments in productivity projects, restructuring efforts,
among other economic, strategic and operational factors impacting our businesses. Discount rate and market multiple
assumptions are similarly updated annually, based on our best estimates of market participants, which typically include
observable, arm's length-evidence of value, where possible. While we make every effort to estimate fair value as
accurately as possible with the information available at the assessment date, changes in assumptions and estimates may
affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and could result in impairment charges in future periods. During our
most recent annual impairment analysis, none of our reporting units were determined to be at risk of impairment.
•
Indefinite-lived intangible assets – Similar to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually during the
fourth quarter for impairment or when there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate the fair value
of the asset is, more likely than not, less than its carrying amount. Recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is
determined on a relief from royalty methodology, which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate discount
rate, to license the use of an asset rather than owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e. royalty
relief) indicates the estimated fair value of the asset. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is
recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess. The critical assumptions utilized in our annual impairment
analysis for indefinite-lived intangible assets are the royalty rates and discount rates, which often differ amongst our
various indefinite-lived assets. We assess the appropriateness of each royalty rate assumption annually, based on our
assessment of observable market royalty rates and an analysis of the profitability of the primary business that owns or
otherwise uses the indefinite-lived asset. Discount rate assumptions typically consider the discount rate conclusions for
40
•
•
the reporting unit in which an underlying business operates, plus an incremental spread, where appropriate, to consider
size, country or other company-specific risk. A significant change in any or a combination of the assumptions used to
estimate fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets could have a negative impact on the estimated fair values.
Income taxes – We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize
future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and non-U.S. tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is
considered in our judgment to be more likely than not. The recoverability of our deferred tax assets, which we consider
to be a critical estimate, is reviewed regularly by considering our historic profitability, projected future taxable income,
timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where
appropriate, we record a valuation allowance with respect to future tax benefits. We establish valuation allowances
against the realizability of any deferred tax assets based on our consideration of all available evidence, both positive and
negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers the nature, frequency and amount of recent
losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. Although our assessments of the
valuation and recoverability of our deferred tax assets can change given a change in facts and circumstances (such as a
change in a statutory tax rate), in making such judgments and estimates, significant weight is given to evidence that can
be objectively verified.
The provision for income taxes also involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of
relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of
taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by us. In addition, tax
authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by us and can raise issues regarding our filing positions, timing
and amount of income or deductions and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which we operate. A
significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue
raised by a tax authority with respect to that return. We believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably
foreseeable resolution of these matters and will adjust our estimates if significant events so dictate. To the extent that the
ultimate results differ from our original or adjusted estimates, the effect will be recorded in the Provision for income
taxes in the period the matter is finally resolved.
Business combinations – The accounting for business combinations involves a considerable amount of judgment and
estimation, including the identification of and fair values determined for acquired intangible assets, which typically
include trade names, customer relationships and completed technologies. The determination of fair values of acquired
intangible assets involves projections of future revenues and cash flows that are either discounted at an estimated
discount rate or measured at an estimated royalty rate; fair values of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities,
including potential contingencies; and the useful lives of the acquired assets. Due to the level of judgment and estimation
required, in the case of significant acquisitions, we normally obtain the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist in
estimating fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities. An income approach or market
approach (or both) is utilized in accordance with accepted valuation models to determine fair value. The determination of
fair value of acquired assets typically requires the use of assumptions that include projections developed using historical
information, internal forecasts, available industry and market data, estimates of revenue growth rates, profitability,
customer attrition and discount and royalty rates, which are estimated at the time of acquisition, considering the
perspective of marketplace participants. While we believe expectations and assumptions utilized for historical business
combinations have been reasonable, they are inherently uncertain, and unanticipated market or macroeconomic events
and circumstances occasionally do occur, and may occur in the future, which could affect the accuracy and validity of
such assumptions.
For our acquisition of the Access Technologies business in 2022, we believe the critical assumptions that significantly
impacted recorded amounts for identifiable intangible assets include the financial projections of future performance of
the business, the royalty rate assumption utilized in determining the fair value of the finite-lived trade name asset and the
allocation of revenues by customer type and attrition rate assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of the
customer relationship asset. The royalty rate assumption utilized in the valuation of the trade name asset was determined
based on a review of market royalty rates and an analysis of the Access Technologies business’ profitability. An increase
or decrease of 1% in the royalty rate assumption would have resulted in an approximate $15 million change in the value
ascribed to the trade name asset. The attrition rate assumption utilized in the valuation of the customer relationship asset
was determined based on a detailed review of customer specific data for the Access Technologies business spanning
multiple years, combined with our estimation of the likelihood of these trends continuing for the foreseeable future. An
increase or decrease of 1% in the attrition rate assumption would have resulted in an approximate $15-20 million change
in the value ascribed to the customer relationship asset.
The impact of future business combinations on our financial condition or results of operations may also be materially
impacted by the change in or initial selection of assumptions and estimates, in addition to events and circumstances
41
subsequent to the acquisition that are not reasonably anticipated when finalizing our purchase accounting estimates and
assumptions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 herein for a discussion of recently issued and adopted
accounting pronouncements.
Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates which could impact our results
of operations and financial condition.
Foreign Currency Exposures
We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell products in various international markets. As a result, we
are exposed to movements in exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies
throughout the world. We actively manage material currency exposures that are associated with purchases and sales and other
assets and liabilities at the legal entity level; however, we do not hedge currency translation risk. We attempt to hedge
exposures that cannot be naturally offset to an insignificant amount with foreign currency derivatives. Derivative instruments
utilized in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or
speculative purposes. To minimize the risk of counter party non-performance, derivative instrument agreements are made only
through major financial institutions with significant experience in such derivative instruments.
We evaluate our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on our foreign currency derivatives using a sensitivity
analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential loss in fair value based on a percentage change in exchange
rates. Based on the firmly committed currency derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2022, a hypothetical change in
fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% adverse change in exchange rates would result in an additional
unrealized loss of approximately $1.5 million. This amount, when realized, would be partially offset by changes in the fair
value of the underlying transactions.
Commodity Price Exposures
We purchase a wide range of raw material, including steel, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals, and are exposed to
volatility in the prices of these and other commodities used in our products. We use fixed price contracts to manage this
exposure where appropriate. We do not have committed commodity derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2022.
Interest Rate Exposure
Of our total outstanding indebtedness of $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2022, approximately 85% incurs fixed-rate interest and
is therefore not exposed to the risk of rising variable interest rates. However, outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit
Facilities do accrue variable rate interest at our option of (i) a BSBY rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the
applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.875% to 1.375% depending on our credit ratings. At December 31,
2022, the outstanding borrowings of $306.5 million under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest at BSBY plus a margin of
1.125%, resulting in an interest rate of 5.498%. Applicable variable interest rates increased throughout 2022, resulting in
increased Interest expense. We are also exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent that we fund our operations with
short-term or variable-rate borrowings, as we currently have unused availability of $417.8 million under the 2021 Revolving
Facility as of December 31, 2022. If the BSBY or other applicable base rates of the 2021 Credit Facilities increase in the future,
our Interest expense could increase.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the Company's 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2022, that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information has been 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.
(b) Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined
under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that:
•
•
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the Company’s assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). We concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. Management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal
controls over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of the Access Technologies business, which we acquired
43
in July 2022. Due to the timing of this acquisition, and as permitted by SEC guidance, management excluded the Access
Technologies business from its December 31, 2022, assessment of internal control over financial reporting.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report herein.
(c Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Allegion Public Limited Company
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Allegion plc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and financial statement schedule
listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the COSO.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded the acquisition
of Stanley Access Technologies LLC and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black &
Decker, Inc. (the “Access Technologies business”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2022, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2022. We have also
excluded the Access Technologies business from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. The Access
Technologies business is wholly owned and has total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and
our audit of internal control over financial reporting that represent approximately 25% and 6%, respectively, of the related
consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included
in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-1
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Acquisition of the Access Technologies business – Valuation of Customer Relationships
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 5, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition
of the Access Technologies business for total preliminary cash consideration of $923.1 million. Of the acquired intangible
assets, $137.4 million of customer relationships were recorded. The fair value of consideration paid in a business combination
is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill using the acquisition
method of accounting. As disclosed by management, accounting for business combinations involves a considerable amount of
judgment and estimation, including the identification of and fair values determined for acquired intangible assets. The
determination of fair values of the acquired intangible assets involves projections of future revenues and cash flows that are
discounted at an estimated discount rate. An income approach was utilized to determine fair value. The assumptions used by
management to determine the fair value of the acquired intangible assets include projections developed using historical
information, internal forecasts, available industry and market data, estimates of revenue growth rates, profitability, customer
attrition, discount rates, and the allocation of revenues by customer type which are estimated at the time of acquisition.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the customer
relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Access Technologies business is a critical audit matter are (i) the
significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (ii) a high
degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant
assumptions related to the revenue growth rate, profitability, customer attrition, discount rate, and the allocation of revenues by
customer type; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the
acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired. These
procedures also included, among others (i) reading the acquisition agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing
the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income approach; (iv)
testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the income approach; and (v) evaluating the
reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the revenue growth rate, profitability, customer
attrition rate, discount rate, and the allocation of revenues by customer type. Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s
significant assumptions related to the revenue growth rate, profitability, and the allocation of revenues by customer type
involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past
performance of the Access Technologies business, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether
these significant assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized
skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s income approach and evaluating the
reasonableness of the discount rate and customer attrition significant assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Allegion plc, an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion" or "the Company") are a leading
global company that provides security products and solutions that keep people and assets safe and secure in the places they live,
learn, work and visit. Allegion creates peace of mind by pioneering safety and security with a vision of seamless access and a
safer world. The Company offers an extensive and versatile portfolio of security and access control products and solutions
across a range of market-leading brands including CISA®, Interflex®, LCN®, Schlage®, SimonsVoss® and Von Duprin®.
Basis of presentation: The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") within
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements:
Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include all controlled subsidiaries of the Company. A
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a controlled subsidiary that is not attributable to
the Company. The Company includes noncontrolling interests as a component of Total equity in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and the Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from Net earnings used to
arrive at Net earnings attributable to Allegion plc in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Equity method affiliates represent unconsolidated entities over which the Company demonstrates significant influence but does
not have a controlling interest. The Company is also required to consolidate variable interest entities in which it bears a majority
of the risk to the entity’s potential losses or stands to gain from a majority of the entity’s expected returns.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made,
historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends and the assessment of the probable future outcome.
Some of the more significant estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, purchase
price allocations of acquired businesses, valuation of assets and liabilities including goodwill and other intangible assets,
product warranties, sales allowances, assets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans, taxes, lease related assets and
liabilities, share-based compensation, environmental costs, product liability and other contingencies. Actual results could differ
from the Company's estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are
reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period they are determined.
Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar have been translated at year-
end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year.
Adjustments resulting from the process of translating a subsidiary’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar are recorded to
Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period they are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid
investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, which
represents the best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses inherent in the Company’s accounts and notes receivable
portfolios. The Company's estimates are influenced by a continuing credit evaluation of customers' financial condition, trade
accounts and notes receivable aging and historical loss experience, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future
economic conditions. The Company has reserved $6.0 million and $5.4 million for doubtful accounts and notes receivable as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets
placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset
except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term.
F-7
Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and
significant improvements that increase asset values and/or extend useful lives are capitalized. The range of useful lives used to
depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:
Buildings

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount
by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Investments: The Company periodically invests in debt or equity securities of start-up companies and/or development stage
technology or other companies without acquiring a controlling interest. The Company applies the equity method of accounting
when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decision making of the
investee. Investments in equity method affiliates totaled $11.8 million and $11.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Equity investments that have readily determinable fair values in which the Company does not have significant
influence are measured at fair value, with any unrealized holding gains and losses being recorded to earnings. Investments
without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from
observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer and are qualitatively
assessed for impairment indicators each reporting period. Investments in debt and equity securities not accounted for under the
equity method of accounting totaled $46.8 million and $35.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
Company's investments are recorded within Other noncurrent assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Leases: As a lessee, the Company categorizes its leases into two general categories: real estate and equipment leases. The
Company's real estate leases include leased production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers and office
space, while the Company's equipment leases primarily include vehicles, material handling and other equipment utilized in the
Company's production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers and laptops and other IT equipment. The
Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee. At inception
of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease
by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. 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. If at lease commencement date, a lease has a term of less than 12 months
and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company does not include the lease as part
of its ROU asset or lease liability. If the Company enters into a large number of leases in the same month with the same terms
and conditions, these are considered a group (portfolio). There are no material residual value guarantees provided by the
Company nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by any leases to which the Company is a party.
The Company assesses the specific terms and conditions of each real estate lease, which can vary significantly from lease to
lease, to determine the amount of the lease payments and the length of the lease term, which includes the minimum period over
which lease payments are required plus any renewal options that are both within the Company's control to exercise and
reasonably certain of being exercised upon lease commencement. When available, the Company will utilize the rate implicit in
the lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability; however, as this rate is not available for most leases, the Company
will use its incremental borrowing rate for debt instruments with terms approximating the weighted-average term of its real
estate or equipment leases to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value. The Company does incur
variable lease payments for certain of its real estate leases, such as reimbursements of property taxes, maintenance and other
operational costs to the lessor. In general, these variable lease payments are not captured as part of the lease liability or ROU
asset, but rather are expensed as incurred. Most of the Company's equipment leases are for terms ranging from two to five
years, although terms and conditions can vary from lease to lease. The Company applies similar estimates and judgments to its
equipment lease portfolio in determining the lease payments, lease term and incremental borrowing rate as it does to its real
estate lease portfolio. The Company does not typically incur variable lease payments related to its equipment leases.
Goodwill: The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is
tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or
circumstances that indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount.
Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level. The carrying amount of a reporting unit is compared to its
estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is
F-8
not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment
charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed
the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. Estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units is based on two
valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market multiple of earnings (market approach),
with each method being weighted in the calculation.
Intangible Assets: Similar to Goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested and reviewed
annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that
indicate the asset is more likely than not less than its carrying amount. Recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets (i.e.
Trade names) is determined on a relief from royalty methodology, which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate
discount rate, to license the use of an asset rather than owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e.
royalty relief) indicates the estimated fair value of the asset. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is
recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.
Intangible assets such as completed technologies, patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with
finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives
approximate the following:
Customer relationships
Trade names (finite-lived)
Completed technologies/patents
Other
20 years
15 years
10 years
5 years
Recoverability of intangible assets with finite useful lives is assessed in the same manner as property, plant and equipment, as
described above.
Business Combinations: The fair value of consideration paid in a business combination is allocated to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill using the acquisition method of accounting. Acquired
intangible assets typically include trade names, customer relationships and completed technologies. The accounting for business
combinations involves a considerable amount of judgment and estimation, and as a result, for significant acquisitions the
Company normally obtains the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and
intangible assets and assumed liabilities. The allocation of consideration paid to assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be
subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which in some cases, may be
up to one year from the acquisition date. Business acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes: The calculation of the Company’s income taxes involves considerable judgment and the use of both estimates
and allocations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent
that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the
recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the
reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company
records a valuation allowance with respect to future tax benefits.
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $81.7 million,
$89.1 million and $82.6 million, respectively.
Product Warranties: The Company offers a standard warranty with most product sales, and the value of such warranty is
included in the contractual sales price. Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated
based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its liabilities
and makes adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
Revenue Recognition: Net revenues are recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a
contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer control of a distinct product or to provide a service, or a
bundle of products or services, to a customer. The Company has two principal revenue streams, tangible product sales and
services. Product sales involve contracts with a single performance obligation, the transfer of control of a product or bundle of
products to a customer. Transfer of control typically occurs when goods are shipped from the Company's facilities or at other
predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). Service offerings include inspection, maintenance and
repair, aftermarket, design and installation and locksmith services, as well as software as a service ("SaaS") solutions. Unlike
the single performance obligation to ship a product or bundle of products, revenue recognition related to services is delayed
until the service based performance obligations are satisfied. In some instances, customer acceptance provisions are included in
sales arrangements to give the buyer the ability to ensure the service meets any established criteria. In these instances, revenue
F-9
recognition is deferred until the performance obligations are satisfied, which could include acceptance terms specified in the
arrangement being fulfilled through customer acceptance or a demonstration that established criteria have been satisfied.
Net revenues are measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring control of the
products or providing the services and takes into account variable consideration, such as sales incentive programs including
discounts and volume rebates. The existence of these programs does not preclude revenue recognition but does require the
Company's best estimate of the variable consideration to be made based on expected activity, as these items are reserved for as
a deduction to Net revenues based on the Company's historical rates of providing these incentives and annual forecasted sales
volumes. Sales returns and customer disputes involving a question of quantity or price are accounted for as variable
consideration, and therefore, as a reduction to Net revenues and as a contra receivable. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the
Company had a reserve for customer claims of $43.5 million and $47.7 million, respectively. All other incentives or incentive
programs where the customer is required to reach a certain level of purchases, remain a customer for a certain period, provide a
rebate form or is subject to additional requirements are also considered variable consideration and are accounted for as a
reduction of revenue and a liability. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a sales incentive accrual of $60.4
million and $38.0 million, respectively. These estimates are reviewed regularly for accuracy, and if updated information or
actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results for the period in
which they become known.
As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, as an expense when incurred
if the amortization period of the asset would have been one year or less. The Company also applies the practical expedients
allowed under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", to omit the disclosure of remaining performance
obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and for contracts where the Company has the
right to invoice for performance completed to date. The transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing
component, as the time period between control transfer of goods and services is less than one year. Sales, value-added and other
similar taxes collected by the Company are excluded from Net revenues. The Company has also elected to account for shipping
and handling activities that occur after control of the related goods transfers as fulfillment activities instead of performance
obligations. These activities are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The
Company’s payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which its businesses operate.
Environmental Costs: The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment and 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. 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 is
also sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has, from time to time, received 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 past operations. 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 on the Company's understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable
contributions on a per site basis. 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.
Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to
existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities
for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the
completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is
calculated based on existing technology, does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and is not
discounted.
Research and Development Costs: The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing
and improving new products and services. These costs are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2022,
2021 and 2020, expenses related to research and development activities amounted to approximately $74.5 million, $73.3
million and $54.4 million, respectively, and primarily consisted of salaries, wages, benefits, facility costs and other overhead
expenses.
Defined Benefit Plans: The Company provides a range of U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit plan benefits to eligible current
and former employees. Noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees
provide benefits based on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits
based on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. defined benefit plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and
years of service. Determining the costs associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including
F-10
discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, employee mortality and turnover rates. Actuarial valuations are performed to
determine the plan obligations and expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial estimates
and assumptions, and when they do, are generally recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized into Net
earnings over future periods.
The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions as
appropriate. Discount rates are generally established using hypothetical yield curves based on the yields of corporate bonds
rated AA quality. Spot rates are developed from the yield curve and used to discount future benefit payments. The expected
return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the
benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the
plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and the target asset allocation.
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 award issued. The
Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance
stock 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 of these
awards at the grant date. The Company's Performance Stock Program ("PSP") provides awards for key employees 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 shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares.
Loss Contingencies: Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including
litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental matters, product liabilities, product warranties, workers' compensation
and other claims. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed
using inputs derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data, depending on the nature of the
reserve and, in certain instances, with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Amounts
recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional
information when it becomes available.
Financial Instruments: 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. When 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 Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging
transactions are effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed
to be an effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss
and subsequently reclassified to Net earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair market value of
derivatives not deemed to be an effective hedge are recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. The Company recognizes
all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value, which 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. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective subsequent to
inception, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the hedging relationship will be
undesignated, and any future gains or losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets
and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities (e.g.,
deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in
accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer
recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts
were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in purchase accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim
periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2021-08 on
January 1, 2022, and as such, applied this new guidance to the Access Technologies business combination (see Note 3), which
did not result in a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
On July 5, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of Stanley Access Technologies LLC and
assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (the "Access Technologies
business"). The total preliminary cash consideration paid for the acquisition was $923.1 million, and the acquisition was
accounted for as a business combination.
The Access Technologies business is a leading manufacturer, installer and service provider of automatic entrance solutions in
North America, primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Its diversified customer base centers on non-residential settings, including
retail, healthcare, education, commercial offices, hospitality and government. This acquisition helps the Company create a more
comprehensive portfolio of access solutions with the addition of automated entrances. Additionally, the Access Technologies
business adds an expansive service and support network throughout the U.S. and Canada, broadening the Company's solutions
to national, regional and local customers and complementing the Company's existing strengths in these non-residential markets.
The Access Technologies business has been integrated into the Allegion Americas segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the acquisition date:

valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for acquired working capital
balances, goodwill, income tax assets and liabilities, among other items. The completion of the valuation will occur no later
than one year from the acquisition date. Intangible assets recognized as of the acquisition date were comprised of the following:

Goodwill results from several factors, including Allegion-specific synergies that were excluded from the cash flow projections
used in the valuation of intangible assets and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as an assembled
workforce. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

In July 2021, the Company acquired, through its subsidiaries, certain assets of Astrum Benelux B.V. ("Astum Benelux") and
100% of the equity of WorkforceIT B.V. in the Netherlands ("WorkforceIT"), both of which were previously held under
common control and offer workforce management technology products and solutions in the Benelux region of Europe. Neither
the assets from Astrum Benelux nor the acquisition of WorkforceIT had a material impact on the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Both WorkforceIT and the assets acquired from Astrum Benelux were accounted for as a business combination and
have been integrated into the Allegion International segment.
In December 2020, the Company acquired the remaining interest of Yonomi, Inc. ("Yonomi"), a U.S. based smart home
integration platform provider and innovation leader in IoT Cloud platforms, through one of its subsidiaries. Prior to acquisition,
the Company held a noncontrolling interest in Yonomi that was considered an equity method investment. This acquisition was
accounted for as a business combination and did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Yonomi
has been integrated into the Allegion Americas segment.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $30.5 million, $4.4 million and $2.3
million, respectively, of acquisition and integration related expenses, which are included in Selling and administrative expenses
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

As previously disclosed, as a result of the global economic disruption and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic arising
during the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred as of March 31, 2020, and performed
interim impairment tests on the goodwill balances, at that time, of its previous EMEA and Asia Pacific reporting units (which
were combined to form the new Allegion International segment effective January 1, 2021). The results of the interim
impairment testing indicated that the estimated fair value of the former Asia Pacific reporting unit was less than its carrying
value. Consequently, a goodwill impairment charge of $88.1 million was recorded, which is included in Impairment of
goodwill and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Intangible asset amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, was $49.4 million, $34.0 million
and $31.5 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, included
$18.1 million related to intangible assets acquired as part of the Access Technologies business acquisition.
Future estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets in each of the next five years amounts to approximately
$58.8 million for 2023, $54.1 million for 2024, $48.3 million for 2025, $45.1 million for 2026 and $38.2 million for 2027.
No intangible asset impairment charges were recorded in either of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. However, as
previously disclosed, as a result of the global economic disruption and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
Company concluded a triggering event had occurred as of March 31, 2020, and performed interim impairment testing on certain
indefinite-lived trade names. Impairment charges of $8.2 million were recorded as a result of these interim tests. Additional
intangible asset impairment charges of $5.4 million were recorded in 2020, relating to supply chain disruptions, which reduced
a brand's expected future cash flows, and declines in volumes and pricing pressure for a separate subsidiary. Intangible asset
impairment charges are included in Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.
NOTE 8 - DIVESTITURES
In September 2022, the Company sold Milre Systek Co. Ltd. ("Milre") in South Korea for an immaterial amount. As a result of
the sale, the Company recorded a Loss on divestiture of $7.6 million, of which $1.6 million related to the reclassification of
accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments to earnings upon sale. This divestiture is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's future results of operations or cash flows.
F-14
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the net assets of the Company's Qatar Metal Industries ("QMI") business, met the criteria to
be classified as held for sale, and accordingly, were written down to fair value, resulting in a Loss on assets held for sale in
2020 of $37.9 million. On February 28, 2021, the Company completed its divestiture of QMI. The completion of the divestiture
did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has an unsecured Credit Agreement in place, consisting of a $250.0 million term loan
facility (the “2021 Term Facility”), of which $237.5 million was outstanding at December 31, 2022, and a $500.0 million
revolving credit facility (the “2021 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2021 Term Facility, the “2021 Credit Facilities”).
Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities mature on November 18, 2026, and are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and
severally on an unsecured basis by Allegion plc and Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The 2021 Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25%
per quarter starting March 31, 2022 through March 31, 2025, 2.5% per quarter starting June 30, 2025 through September 30,
2026, with the balance due on November 18, 2026. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding amounts under the 2021
Term Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs. Amounts borrowed under the 2021
Term Facility that are repaid may not be reborrowed. The Company repaid $12.5 million of principal on the 2021 Term Facility
during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The 2021 Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for
the issuance of letters of credit. On July 1, 2022, the Company borrowed $340.0 million under the 2021 Revolving Facility to
partially fund the acquisition of the Access Technologies business. The Company subsequently repaid $271.0 million, resulting
in $69.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2022. The Company also had
$13.2 million of letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2022. Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Facility
may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed. The Company pays certain fees
with respect to the 2021 Revolving Facility, including an unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of between 0.090%
and 0.200% per year, depending on the Company's credit ratings, as well as certain other fees.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company, of (i) a Bloomberg
Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 0.875% to 1.375% depending on the Company's credit ratings.
At December 31, 2022, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrued interest at BSBY plus a
margin of 1.125%, resulting in an interest rate of 5.498%. The Credit Agreement also contains 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 Agreement requires the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined
within the agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
Senior Notes
On June 22, 2022, Allegion US Hold Co issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.411% Senior Notes due 2032
(the “5.411% Senior Notes”) to partially fund the acquisition of the Access Technologies business, in addition to the
$340.0 million drawn on the 2021 Revolving Facility, as discussed above. The 5.411% Senior Notes require semi-annual
interest payments on January 1 and July 1, beginning January 1, 2023, and will mature on July 1, 2032. The Company incurred
and deferred $5.9 million of discounts and financing costs associated with the 5.411% Senior Notes, which will be amortized to
F-15
Interest expense over their 10-year term, as well as $4.3 million of third party financing costs that were recorded within Interest
expense on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The 5.411% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations
of Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee of the 5.411% Senior Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of Allegion plc and
ranks equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2022, Allegion US Hold Co also has $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the
“3.200% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes”),
while Allegion plc has $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “3.500% Senior Notes”, and all
four senior notes collectively, the "Senior Notes"). The 3.200% Senior Notes, 3.550% Senior Notes and 3.500% Senior Notes
all require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year and will mature on October 1, 2024, October 1,
2027, and October 1, 2029, respectively. The 3.200% Senior Notes and the 3.550% Senior Notes are senior unsecured
obligations of Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee of the 3.200% Senior Notes and the 3.550% Senior Notes is the senior
unsecured obligation of Allegion plc and ranks equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. The 3.500% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion plc, are guaranteed by
Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Currency Hedging Instruments
The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $161.5 million and $164.9 million at December 31,
2022 and 2021, 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 13), nor the balances included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, were
material as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges did not have a material
impact to either Net earnings or Other Comprehensive (loss) income during any of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 or
2020, nor is the amount to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months expected to be material, although the
actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary as a result of future changes in market conditions. At
December 31, 2022, the maximum term of the Company's currency derivatives, both those that are designated as cash flow
hedges and those that are not, was less than one year.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts consist of a number of investment grade major international financial
institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, the
credit ratings and the concentration of risk in these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis and present no
significant credit risk to the Company.
NOTE 11 - LEASES
Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, was $48.9 million, $45.4 million and $44.2
million, respectively, and is classified within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the
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 ROU asset or lease liability totaled $9.6 million, $8.2 million and
F-16
$9.1 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. No material lease costs have been

The difference between the total undiscounted minimum lease payments and the combined current and noncurrent lease
liabilities as of December 31, 2022, is due to imputed interest of $9.1 million. Additionally, leases to commence in 2023 have
been signed for two new manufacturing and assembly facilities in our Allegion Americas segment. Although not included in the
amounts above, upon commencement these leases are expected to add new ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately
$35 million to $40 million.

increases.
It is the Company’s objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make
benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. However, certain plans are not funded due to either legal,
accounting or tax requirements in certain jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 6% of the Company's
projected benefit obligation relates to plans that are not funded, of which the majority are non-U.S. plans.

The Company generally estimates the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost utilizing a full yield-
curve approach. Under this approach, the Company applies discounting using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield
curve to discount the cash flows used to measure the benefit obligation. These spot rates align to each of the projected benefit
obligation cash flows and service cost cash flows. The expected return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns
expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation and is
based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and target asset allocations. The
expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. Each plan is reviewed, along with its historical
returns and target asset allocations, to determine the appropriate expected return on plan assets to be used.
The Company's overall objective in managing its defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit
obligations are met as they come due. The goal is to achieve this 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. Each plan’s
funded status and asset allocation is monitored regularly in addition to investment manager performance.

The Company's U.S. pension plan assets are valued using the following methodologies:
•
•
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments – Short-term investments are valued at their daily net asset value
(NAV) per share or the equivalent based upon the fair value of the underlying investments. NAV per share or the
equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient and is calculated by the investment manager or
sponsor of the fund. These investments primarily consist of short-term investment funds.
Common collective trusts – Common collective trust ("CCT") funds are not publicly traded and are valued at NAV per
share or the equivalent based upon the fair value of the underlying investments. NAV per share or the equivalent is
used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient and is calculated by the investment manager or sponsor of the
applicable fund. CCT funds consist of a variety of publicly traded securities, including equity mutual funds, U.S.
government and agency obligations, corporate and non-U.S. bonds, securitized credit and emerging market debt. There
are no unfunded commitments, redemption frequency restrictions or other redemption restrictions related to such
investments.

F-21
•
•
•
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments – Cash equivalents are valued using a market approach with inputs
including quoted market prices for either identical or similar instruments. Short-term investments are valued at the
closing price or amount held on deposit by the custodian bank, at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based
on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the credit-worthiness of the issuer, or at
NAV per share or the equivalent based upon the fair value of the underlying investments. NAV per share or the
equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient and is calculated by the investment manager or
sponsor of the fund. These investments primarily consist of short-term investment funds.
Equity mutual funds – Equity mutual funds are primarily valued at NAV per share or the equivalent. NAV per share or
the equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient and is calculated by the investment manager or
sponsor of the fund.
Corporate and non-U.S. bonds – Quoted market prices are not available for these securities. Fair values are either
estimated using pricing models and/or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows,
in which instances such securities are classified as Level 2, or valued at NAV per share or the equivalent. NAV per
share or the equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a practical expedient and is calculated by the investment
manager or sponsor of the fund.
The Company made employer contributions of $0.5 million, $6.2 million and $6.3 million to the U.S. pension plans in 2022,
2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, the Company prefunded $8.2 million of supplemental plan payments to a former
executive as of December 31, 2022, to satisfy an obligation due in early 2023. The Company made employer contributions to
its non-U.S. pension plans of $5.5 million, $6.0 million and $5.1 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company currently projects that approximately $12 million will be contributed to its plans worldwide in 2023. The
Company’s policy allows it to fund an amount, which could be in excess of or less than the pension cost expensed, subject to
the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. The Company anticipates funding the plans in 2023 in accordance with
contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of each jurisdiction.
Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by defined contribution plans. Employer contributions are determined
based on criteria specific to the individual plans and amounted to approximately $23.0 million, $18.3 million and $17.9 million
in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s contributions relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans and other
non-U.S. benefit plans were $8.8 million, $8.6 million and $7.0 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("EDCP"), which is an unfunded, nonqualified plan that,
prior to 2019, permitted certain employees to defer up to 50% of their annual salary and up to 100% of their annual bonus
awards, performance stock plan awards and restricted stock units into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary
share equivalents, until conclusion of their employment with the Company. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the deferred
compensation liability balance was $13.8 million and $18.2 million, respectively, the majority of which was recorded within
Postemployment and other benefit liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts invested in ordinary share
equivalents of the Company are not included in the deferred compensation liability balance, as these amounts will be settled in
ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.
NOTE 13 – 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 the three levels described below:
•
•
•
Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the
assets and liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third
party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability
based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value
hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
•
•
•
Investments – These instruments include equity mutual funds and corporate bond funds. The fair value is obtained
based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
Deferred compensation and other retirement plans – These include obligations related to deferred compensation and
other retirement plans adjusted for market performance. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices
quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
Debt – These instruments are recorded at cost and include the 2021 Credit Facilities and Senior Notes maturing
through 2032. The fair value of these debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public
exchanges for similar instruments.
The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivable, net, Accounts payable, Accrued
compensation and benefits and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair values due
to the short-term nature of these instruments. As discussed in Note 2, the Company also has investments in debt and equity
securities without readily determinable fair values, which are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes
resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer and are
qualitatively assessed for impairment indicators at each reporting period. As these investments are considered to be
nonrecurring fair value measurements, they are not included in the fair value tables above.
The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022,
are the same as those used at December 31, 2021.

Stock Options / RSUs
The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, was
estimated to be $28.24, $24.99 and $25.62 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
weighted-average assumptions used were as follows:
Dividend yield
Volatility
Risk-free rate of return
Expected life
2022
1.46 %
27.12 %
2.13 %
6.0 years

27.14 %
0.75 %
6.0 years
2020
0.99 %
20.70 %
1.41 %
6.0 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
In February 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors granted PSUs that vested
based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by earnings per share ("EPS") performance during
a three-year performance period 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. The fair values of the market conditions 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.

The jurisdictional mix of earnings, which includes the impact of the location of earnings as well as the tax cost on the
Company's international operations, can vary as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business, the impact
of internal restructurings and as a result of the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as restructuring
charges, asset impairments and gains or losses on strategic business decisions.

At December 31, 2022, $1.8 million of deferred taxes were recorded for certain undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Historically, no deferred taxes have been provided for any portion of the remaining undistributed earnings of the Company's
subsidiaries since these earnings have been, and will continue to be, permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. For many
reasons, including the number of legal entities and jurisdictions involved, the complexity of the Company's legal entity
structure, the complexity of tax laws in the relevant jurisdictions and the impact of projections of income for future years to any
calculations, the Company believes it is not practicable to estimate, within any reasonable range, the amount of additional taxes
which may be payable upon the distribution of earnings.
At December 31, 2022, the Company had the following tax losses and tax credit carryforwards available to offset taxable
income in prior and future years:

The U.S. state loss carryforwards were incurred in various jurisdictions. The non-U.S. loss carryforwards were incurred in
various jurisdictions, predominantly in China, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.
The Company evaluates its deferred income tax assets to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted.
GAAP requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets
based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a "more likely than not" standard. This
assessment considers the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax
planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the valuation allowance decreased by $0.8 million, while during the year ended
December 31, 2021, the valuation allowance increased by $5.8 million. The Company's valuation allowance will fluctuate from
year to year as a result of changes in country specific tax laws, internal restructurings, jurisdictional profitability and changes in
judgments and facts regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets.
The Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $45.2 million and $41.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $45.2 million as

The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its provision for income taxes.
The Company had reserves associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $11.0 million and $7.5 million at December 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $3.3 million and $0.5
million in interest and penalties, net of tax, related to these uncertain tax positions.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future
events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.
Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross
unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, could potentially be reduced by up to approximately $12.7 million
during the next 12 months.
The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant
facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable
income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax
authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions,
timing and amount of income or deductions and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company
operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an
issue raised by a tax authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to
examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland and the U.S. In general, the examination of the material tax returns of
subsidiaries of the Company is complete for the years prior to 2009, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and
litigation.
NOTE 19 – 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
its share-based compensation plans.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per
share calculations:

Historically, approximately 99% of the Company's consolidated Net revenues have involved contracts with a single
performance obligation, the transfer of control of a product or bundle of products to a customer. However, with the acquisition
of the Access Technologies business, which offers extensive planned inspection, maintenance and repair services for its
automatic entrance solutions throughout the U.S. and Canada, the percentage of Net revenues from services has increased.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, neither the contract assets related to the Company's right to consideration for work
completed but not billed nor the contract liabilities associated with contract revenue were material. The Company does not have
any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded.
NOTE 21 – 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $24.1 million and $16.4
million, respectively. The total reserve at December 31, 2022 and 2021, included $13.8 million and $4.3 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of their
expected future payment. The Company's total current environmental reserve at December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $3.9 million
and $3.7 million, respectively, and the remainder is classified as noncurrent.
The Company incurred $2.9 million, $0.9 million and $7.1 million of expenses during the years ended December 31, 2022,
2021 and 2020, respectively, for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company.
Environmental remediation costs are recorded in Costs of goods sold within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is
uncertain.

NOTE 22 – 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 margin. 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 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 (loss) as a percentage of the segment's Net revenues.
As previously announced, effective January 1, 2021, the Company combined its previous operations in Europe, the Middle East
and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific into a new segment named Allegion International, in addition to renaming its Americas
segment "Allegion Americas". Business segment information for EMEA and Asia Pacific for the year ended December 31,
2020, has been combined in the table below to reflect this change in reportable segments.
