ALLEGION PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements of Allegion plc, an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion" or "the Company"), reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Allegion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed and consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented.
The Company has revised its statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to correct for an immaterial error.  The revision was made to correctly reflect a $1.2 million cash inflow within 'other investing activities, net' with a corresponding offset made to the ‘effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents’ line item in the statement of cash flows.  The revisions did not change the total net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the total obligation is fixed at the reporting date, and for which no specific guidance currently exists. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU 2013-05 clarifies the application of GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." With certain exceptions, ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 on either a prospective or retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The requirements of ASU 2013-11 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-20 (Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations) and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued operations criteria. The ASU redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that (1) has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and (2) represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. According to the ASU, a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and results includes the disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity investment, or other major parts of an entity. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014. The Company has not assessed what impact, if any, the ASU 2014-08 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has a credit agreement providing for (i) $1.0 billion of Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities, consisting of a $500 million “tranche A” Term Loan Facility due in 2018 (the "Term Loan A Facility") and a $500 million "tranche B" Term Loan Facility due in 2020 (the "Term Loan B Facility," and together with the Term Loan A Facility, the "Term Facilities"), and (ii) a $500 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") maturing in 2018. The Company refers to these credit facilities as its "Senior Secured Credit Facilities." In the first quarter of 2014, the Company repaid $7.5 million of principal on its Term Loan A and Term Loan B Facilities in accordance with the terms of its senior secured credit facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and had $29.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, which reduces the availability under the Revolver.

Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities currently accrue interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan B Facility is 2.25%, with LIBOR for the Term Loan B Facility to be subject to a floor of 0.75% per annum. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolver and the Term Loan A Facility is subject to a credit facility rating-based pricing grid with the LIBOR ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%. The margin for Term Loan A Facility borrowings was 2.00% as of March 31, 2014.

Senior Notes

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has issued $300 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2021 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior Notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2014. The Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2021.

At March 31, 2014, the weighted-average interest rate for borrowings was 2.6% under the Term Loan Facilities and 5.75% under the Senior Notes.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments

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

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


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

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

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

Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
Currency Hedging Instruments
The net notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $179.4 million and $209.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, losses of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, net of tax, respectively, were included in AOCI related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a loss of $0.7 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At March 31, 2014, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was approximately 9 months.
The fair values of derivative instruments included within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

(Unaudited)


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 9 – Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees.
Pension Plans
The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key employees.
The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit costs for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

The Company made required and discretionary employer contributions of $0.5 million and $0.3 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additional contributions of approximately $16.5 million are expected during the remainder of 2014.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible retired employees. The Company funds postretirement benefit obligations principally on a pay as you go basis. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement

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


Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2014 were as follows:

The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
Marketable securities – These securities include investments in publicly traded stock of non-U.S. companies held by non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The fair value is obtained for the securities based on observable market prices quoted on public stock exchanges.
Derivative instruments – These instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.
Debt – These securities are recorded at cost and include senior notes maturing through 2021. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2014 are the same as those used at December 31, 2013. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

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

The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the three months ended March 31:
 
2014
 
2013
Dividend yield

5.1 years


For grants issued prior to December 1, 2013, expected volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded options on Ingersoll Rand's stock. 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. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures within Ingersoll Rand's valuation model. The expected life of the Ingersoll Rand's stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

For grants issued on or after December 1, 2013, expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the implied volatility of a group of the Company’s peers due to the lack of trading history for the Company's ordinary shares. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical peer data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company’s valuation model. The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards granted post separation is derived from the simplified approach based on the weighted average time to vest and the remaining contractual term and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

Performance Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.2 million shares.50%50%

In December 2013, the Company’s Compensation Committee issued PSUs that are earned based upon the total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s share performance compared to the TSR of the 41 companies currently comprising the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over the three-year performance period based on the change in the 30 day average price for the index from December 2013 to the 30 day average price for the index in December 2016. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

In March 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee issued PSUs that were based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each performance period by EPS growth, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the industrial group of companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index

over the one-year, two-year, and three-year performance periods. The fair values of the market condition were estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.

Deferred Compensation

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred costs of $0.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, associated with restructuring actions. These actions included workforce reductions, as well as the closure and consolidation of manufacturing facilities, in an effort to increase efficiencies across multiple lines of business. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $2.3 million accrued for costs associated with its ongoing restructuring actions, of which a majority will be paid within one year.

The Company will begin another restructuring plan in the second quarter of 2014 to reorganize its EMEIA operations to eliminate overhead and increase operational efficiency. Restructuring charges related to this plan may be material.

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 30.3% and 32.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2013 is primarily due to favorable changes in the mix of pre-tax income earned in lower rate jurisdictions, partially offset by lower discrete tax benefits.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans.

Basic and Diluted EPS for all periods prior to the Spin-off reflect the number of distributed shares on December 1, 2013, or 96.0 million shares. These shares are treated as issued and outstanding from January 1, 2013 for purposes of calculating historical basic EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At the time of the Spin-off, stock options and RSU awards were converted to awards of Allegion, and therefore there were no dilutive securities outstanding for historical periods.

Note 17 – Business Segment Information

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

Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that the Company’s chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews, and compensation. For these reasons, the Company believes that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges, from Operating income to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base its operating decisions. The Company defines Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of Net revenues.

Effective January 1, 2013, a product line was transferred from the Asia Pacific segment to the Americas segment. Within the Quarterly Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, goodwill was reclassified from the Asia Pacific segment to the Americas segment.

Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product warranty matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Environmental Matters

The Company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $10.5 million and $10.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $2.9 million and $2.9 million relate to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected

term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Warranty Liability

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

The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, and under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our condensed and consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Recent Developments

Venezuela Currency Volatility

Venezuela is a highly inflationary economy under GAAP. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated joint venture in Venezuela. Any currency remeasurement adjustments for non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings.

The Venezuelan government’s official exchange rate is currently 6.3 Venezuelan Bolivares Fuertes (VEF) to 1 U.S. Dollar (USD), which is the current rate at which all of our VEF denominated net monetary assets in Venezuela are measured. The Venezuelan government re-instituted a secondary exchange rate (SICAD 1 rate) for select goods and services. The SICAD 1 rate was 10.7 VEF to $1 at March 31, 2014. Allegion does not currently qualify for this SICAD rate. In March 2014, the Venezuelan government launched a SICAD 2 rate to provide a greater supply of U.S. Dollars from sources other than the Venezuelan government. All companies located or domiciled in Venezuela may bid for U.S. Dollars for any purpose. The SICAD 2 exchange rate closed at 50.9 VEF to $1 on March 31, 2014. We believe the fixed exchange rate of 6.3 VEF to $1 remains legally available to us and we intend to continue to remeasure the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan entities at this rate.

The impact to us of a devaluation from the official exchange rate to a SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to $1 would be a charge of approximately $7.1 million and to a SICAD 2 rate of 50.9 VEF to $1 would be a charge of $15.1 million based on our net monetary asset balances as of March 31, 2014 of approximately $17.2 million, including $4.6 million of cash. Net revenues of our operation in Venezuela were $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. A devaluation could have a material impact on our results of operations depending on the exchange rate we apply and the amount of net monetary assets included in our consolidated balance sheet denominated in VEF.

Acquisition of Schlage de Colombia

On January 2, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary Allegion de Colombia completed the acquisition of certain assets of Schlage Lock de Colombia S.A., the second largest mechanical lock manufacturer in that country for approximately $5.3 million in cash.

2014 Dividend

On March 31, 2014, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per Allegion plc ordinary share to shareholders of record as of March 17, 2014. On April 9, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.08 per Allegion plc ordinary share, which is payable on June 30, 2014 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2014.

Spin-off related charges

In the first quarter of 2014, we incurred $8.8 million of separation costs associated with the spin-off from Ingersoll Rand, of which $8.7 million was recognized in Selling and administrative expenses in our results of operations and $0.1 million was recognized in Cost of goods sold. Separation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily include professional and consulting fees, system implementation costs and relocation and other personnel related costs.

Joint Venture Order Flow Change

In late 2013, we signed a revised joint venture operating agreement for our consolidated joint venture in Asia. Previously, the joint venture acted as a pass-through to the end customer. The consolidated joint venture no longer recognizes the revenue and cost of goods sold on these products. Products are shipped direct to the end customer with the joint venture receiving a royalty in an amount that approximates the lost margin. We recognized revenue of approximately $17.7 million related to this business in our Americas segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The change did not have a material impact on operating income or on cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 0.2%, or $0.8 million, compared with the same period in 2013, which resulted from the following:

Total
(0.2
)%
The decrease in net revenues was primarily driven by the impact of the change in order flow through our consolidated joint venture in Asia discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by improved pricing, higher volumes and the acquisition of Schlage de Colombia in January 2014.
Operating Income/Margin
Operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased to 14.1% from 14.5% for the same period of 2013. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable volume/product mix and increased investment spending, including $8.8 million of spin-related costs. These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing in excess of material inflation and productivity benefits in excess of other inflation across all segments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $12.7 million compared with the same period of 2013 as a result of entering into the $1,000 million total senior secured term loan facilities and issuing $300 million of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2013 in conjunction with the spin-off from Ingersoll Rand.

The increase in Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted primarily from lower foreign currency losses compared to the same period in 2013, which included a realized foreign currency translation loss of $6.2 million related to the devaluation of the VEF.
Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 30.3% and 32.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2013 is primarily due to favorable changes in the mix of pre-tax income earned in lower rate jurisdictions, partially offset by lower discrete tax benefits.

Review of Business Segments

We operate in and report financial results for three segments: Americas, EMEIA, and Asia Pacific. These segments represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews company financial performance and makes operating decisions.

Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that our chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews, and compensation. For these reasons, we believe that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. Our chief operating

Table of Contents

decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges from Operating income, to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base our operating decisions. We define Segment operating margin as Segment operating income as a percentage of Net revenues.

The segment discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in results for each segment included in continuing operations. Effective January 1, 2013, we transferred a product line from our Asia Pacific segment to our Americas segment. This transfer is reflected in the historical segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Americas

Our Americas segment is a leading provider of security products and solutions in approximately 30 countries throughout North America and parts of South America. The segment sells a broad range of products and solutions including, locks, locksets, key systems, door closers, exit devices, doors and door frames, electronic product and access control systems to end-users in commercial, institutional and residential facilities, including into the education, healthcare, government, commercial office and single and multi-family residential markets. This segment’s strategic brands are Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN.

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 1.7%, or $5.9 million, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to the impact of the change in order flow through our consolidated joint venture discussed above (5.0%) and unfavorable currency movements (1.0%), partially offset by improved pricing (2.1%), higher volumes (1.4%) and the acquisition of Schlage de Colombia in January 2014 (0.8%).
  
Segment operating margin increased to 24.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 23.5% for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to impact of the change in order flow through our consolidated joint venture discussed above (1.2%), pricing improvements in excess of material inflation (0.9%) and productivity benefits in excess of other inflation (0.8%), partially offset by unfavorable volume/product mix (0.6%) and incremental investment and other spending (0.9%).

EMEIA

Our EMEIA segment provides security products and solutions in approximately 85 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa. The segment offers end-users a broad range of products, services and solutions including, locks, locksets, key systems, door closers, exit devices, doors and door frames, electronic product and access control systems, as well as time and attendance and workforce productivity solutions. This segment’s strategic brands are CISA and Interflex. This segment also resells Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN products, primarily in the Middle East.

Segment operating margin improved to (1.1)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to (5.4)% for the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to productivity benefits in excess of other inflation (0.9%), pricing improvements in excess of material inflation (0.9%), favorable foreign currency movements (1.1%) and lower restructuring charges (3.9%), partially offset by increased investment and other spending (0.9%), unfavorable volume/mix (0.3%) and separation costs (1.3%).

Total restructuring and separation costs were $1.8 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Asia Pacific

Our Asia Pacific segment provides security products and solutions in approximately 14 countries throughout the Asia Pacific region. The segment offers end-users a broad range of products, services and solutions including, locks, locksets, key systems, door closers, exit devices, electronic product and access control systems, and as well as video analytics solutions. This segment’s strategic brands are Schlage, CISA, Von Duprin and LCN.

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by 3.3%, or $0.7 million, compared with the same period of 2013, which primarily resulted from favorable volume/product mix (4.2%) and improved pricing (0.3%) partially offset by unfavorable currency movements (1.2%).

Segment operating margin decreased to (13.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to (5.2)% for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily related to the closure of the Asia joint venture manufacturing operations in China (9.5%), increased investment spending (1.2%) and other inflation in excess of productivity benefits (1.2%), partially offset by favorable volume/product mix (3.2%), improved pricing (0.2%) and favorable foreign currency movements (0.1%).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

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

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the three months ended March 31. For additional details, see the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in continuing operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $0.7 million, compared with net cash provided by continuing operating activities of $0.6 million during the comparable period in 2013. Operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflect increased investment spending and non-recurring separation costs.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in continuing investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $14.3 million, compared with $4.1 million during the comparable period in 2013. The change in investing activities is primarily attributable to an increase in

capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as well $5.3 million paid for the acquisition of Schlage de Colombia in January 2014.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in continuing financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.4 million, compared with net cash provided by continuing financing activities of $18.2 million during the comparable period in 2013. The change in net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to $19.3 million of net transfers from our former parent in 2013 that did not recur in 2014 as a result of our spin-off from them in December 2013 as well as $7.2 million of dividend payments made to ordinary shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $7.5 million of repayments of our long-term debt, partially offset by $8.0 million in proceeds from shares issued under incentive plans and $3.8 million of excess tax benefits from share based compensation.

The Term Loan A Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, at the following rates per year: 5% in 2014; 5% in 2015 and 10% in each year thereafter, with the final installment due on September 27, 2018. The Term Loan B Facility amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum, with the balance due on September 27, 2020. We repaid $7.5 million in total on the Term Loan A and Term Loan B Facilities in the first quarter of 2014. The Senior Notes are due in full on October 1, 2021.

We have a 5-year, $500.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on September 27, 2018 (the "Revolver"). As of March 31, 2014, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and had $29.1 million of letters of credit outstanding.

We are required to comply with certain covenants under our senior secured credit facilities. We are required to comply with a maximum leverage ratio of 4.00 (based on a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness, net of unrestricted cash up to $100 million, to consolidated EBITDA) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 3.50 (based on a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, net of interest income). As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants. Additionally, the indenture to our senior notes and the senior secured credit facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions.

Pensions

Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. Global asset allocation decisions are based on a dynamic approach whereby a plan's allocation to fixed income assets increases progressively over time. We monitor plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance.

We monitor the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to the volatility in the markets. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 9 to the condensed and consolidated financial statements.

For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our condensed and consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the total obligation is fixed at the reporting date, and for which no specific guidance currently exists. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” ASU 2013-05 clarifies the application of US GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-04 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." With certain exceptions, ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 on either a prospective or retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The requirements of ASU 2013-11 do not have a significant impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 205-20 (Presentation of Financial Statements — Discontinued Operations) and requires entities to disclose additional information about disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. The ASU redefines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components of an entity that (1) has been disposed of by sale or other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and (2) represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. According to the ASU, a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and results includes the disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity investment, or other major parts of an entity. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals or components classified as held for sale in periods on or after December 15, 2014. We have not assessed what impact, if any, the ASU 2014-08 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other than as discussed above, management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to the items we disclosed as our recently adopted accounting pronouncements in "Management’s Discussion and

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as projections of revenue, margins, expenses, tax provisions, earnings, cash flows, benefit obligations, dividends, share purchases or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including those relating to any statements concerning expected development, performance or market share relating to our products and services; any statements regarding future economic conditions or our performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. While we believe that our assumptions, expectations and projections are reasonable in view of the currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You are advised to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in materials we file with or furnish to the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond our control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements.

Factors that might affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things:
economic, political and business conditions in the markets in which we operate;
the demand for our products and services;
competitive factors in the industry in which we compete;
the ability to protect and use intellectual property;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates
the ability to complete and integrate any acquisitions
changes in tax requirements (including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations);
the outcome of any litigation, governmental investigations or proceedings;
interest rate fluctuations and other changes in borrowing costs;
other capital market conditions, including availability of funding sources and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
availability of and fluctuations in the prices of key commodities and the impact of higher energy prices;
the ability to achieve cost savings in connection with our productivity programs;
potential further impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or our long-lived assets;
the possible effects on us of future legislation in the U.S. that may limit or eliminate potential U.S. tax benefits resulting from our incorporation in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, such as Ireland, or deny U.S. government contracts to us based upon our incorporation in such non-U.S. jurisdiction; and
our ability to fully realize the expected benefits of our spin-off from Ingersoll Rand.
the impact of potential technology or data security breaches
the impact our substantial leverage may have on our business and operations
Some of the significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections are described more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. There may also be other factors that have not been anticipated or that

are not described in our periodic filings with the SEC, generally because we did not believe them to be significant at the time, which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Venezuela is a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP. As a result, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our consolidated joint venture in Venezuela. Any currency remeasurement adjustments for non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings.

The Venezuelan government’s official exchange rate changed is currently 6.3 Venezuelan Bolivares Fuertes (VEF) to 1 U.S. Dollar, which is the current rate at which all of our net monetary assets in Venezuela are measured. The Venezuelan government re-instituted a secondary exchange rate (SICAD 1 rate) for select goods and services. The SICAD 1 rate was 10.7 VEF to $1 at March 31, 2014. Allegion does not currently qualify for this SICAD rate. In March 2014, the Venezuelan government launched a SICAD 2 rate to provide a greater supply of U.S. Dollars from sources other than the Venezuelan government. All companies located or domiciled in Venezuela may bid for U.S. Dollars for any purpose. The SICAD 2 exchange rate closed at 50.9 VEF to $1 on March 31, 2014. We believe the fixed exchange rate of 6.3 VEF to $1 remains legally available to us and we intend to continue to remeasure the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan entities at this rate.

The impact to us of a devaluation from the official exchange rate to a SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 VEF to $1 would be a charge of approximately $7.1 million and to a SICAD 2 rate of 50.9 VEF to $1 would be a charge of $15.1 million based on our net monetary asset balances as of March 31, 2014 of approximately $17.2 million, including $4.6 million of cash. Net revenues of our operation in Venezuela were $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. A devaluation could have a material impact on our results of operations depending on the exchange rate we apply and the amount of net monetary assets included in our consolidated balance sheet denominated in VEF.
There have been no other significant changes in our exposure to market risk during the first quarter of 2014. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2014, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – 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 tax-related matters. In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013. For a further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to the “Risk Factors” discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

There have been no unregistered offerings nor any repurchases of our ordinary shares during the first quarter of 2014. In February 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of our ordinary shares. To preserve the tax-free treatment to Ingersoll Rand of the Spin-off, under the Tax Matters Agreement, we are prohibited from taking or failing to take any action that prevents the Spin-off and related transactions from being tax-free. We may not engage in privately negotiated transactions or acquire more than 20% of our outstanding shares within two years after the Spin-off. We believe that we will be able to execute the authorized share repurchases and preserve the tax-free treatment of the Spin-off. However, if we are unable to preserve the tax-free treatment, any taxes imposed on us could be significant.
