DUBLIN (April 28, 2026) - Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global security products and solutions provider, today reported financial results for its first quarter (ended March 31, 2026).
“Allegion delivered strong Q1 revenue growth led by our Americas non-residential and electronics businesses,” Allegion President and CEO John H. Stone said. “Our team remains agile, proactively managing inputs to offset external pressures in a volatile macro environment. I’m especially proud of our people and our culture, recognized with our third Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award in March of this year.”
Q1 2026 Company Results
Allegion reported first-quarter 2026 net revenues of $1,033.6 million and net earnings of $138.1 million, or $1.59 per share. Adjusted net earnings were $155.9 million, or $1.80 per share, down 3.2%. (Details of the adjustments are included in the footnotes of the tables in this press release.)
First-quarter 2026 net revenues increased 9.7%. On an organic basis, which excludes impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency movements, net revenues increased 2.6%, led by the Americas region. The organic revenue increase was driven by price realization partially offset by volume declines. Reported revenue reflects a 4.8% net positive impact from acquisitions and divestitures, as well as a 2.3% tailwind from foreign currency.
First-quarter 2026 operating income was $195.3 million, a decrease of $1.1 million or 0.6%. Adjusted operating income in first-quarter 2026 was $218.9 million, an increase of $5.5 million or 2.6%.
First-quarter 2026 operating margin was 18.9%, compared with 20.9%. The adjusted operating margin in first-quarter 2026 was 21.2%, compared with 22.7%. The adjusted operating margin decline is attributable to headwinds from volume declines and price and productivity net of inflation and investment (PPII), inclusive of transactional foreign currency, which was positive on a dollar basis but a headwind to margin rate.
Q1 2026 Segment Results
The Americas segment revenues were up 6.9% (up 4.5% on an organic basis). The non-residential business was up mid-single digits organically, driven by price realization. The residential business was flat organically, with price realization offsetting volume declines. The reported revenue reflects a 2.1% positive impact from acquisitions and a slight tailwind from foreign currency. Adjusted operating margin in the region decreased 110 basis points to 28.1% due to volume declines in the residential business and unfavorable mix. PPII, inclusive transactional foreign currency headwinds, was positive on a dollar basis but a headwind to margin rate. Acquisitions were also a 40-basis point headwind to margin rate.
The International segment revenues were up 21.5% (down 5.3% on an organic basis). The organic revenue decrease was primarily driven by volume declines related to disruptions from an ERP implementation in one of the company's legacy mechanical businesses, partially offset by price realization. Reported revenue reflects a 15.9% net positive impact from acquisitions and divestitures and a 10.9% tailwind from foreign currency. Adjusted operating margin in the region decreased 220 basis points to 8.0%, driven by volume declines and a PPII headwind, offset by favorable impacts from acquisitions. The margin rate decline was primarily driven by the ERP implementation previously mentioned. Production rates in the affected legacy mechanical business are improving, and we expect to recover the ERP production related shortfall over the remainder of 2026, as supported by existing orders and backlog.
Additional Items
Interest expense for first-quarter 2026 was $24.2 million, a decrease of $0.5 million.
Other income, net for first-quarter 2026 was $0.4 million, compared to other income, net of $3.5 million.
The company’s effective tax rate for first-quarter 2026 was 19.5%, compared with 15.4%. The company’s adjusted effective tax rate for first-quarter 2026 was 20.1%, compared with 16.1%.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Year-to-date available cash flow for 2026 was $80.3 million, a decrease of $3.1 million versus the prior-year period. The company ended first-quarter 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $308.9 million, as well as total debt of $2,030.7 million.
Share Repurchase and Dividends
In the first quarter of 2026, the company repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares for approximately $40 million and paid quarterly dividends of $0.55 per ordinary share or approximately $47 million. On April 15, 2026, the company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of $500.0 million of ordinary shares.
2026 Full-Year Outlook
The company is raising its full-year 2026 reported revenue growth outlook to a range of 6% to 8%, inclusive of the recent DCI acquisition, and is affirming its organic growth outlook of 2% to 4%, after excluding the expected impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency movements.
The company is affirming the outlook for full-year 2026 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $8.70 to $8.90. The company is updating the outlook for full-year 2026 reported EPS and expects it to be in the range of $7.95 to $8.15. Adjustments to 2026 EPS include estimated impacts of approximately $0.60 per share for acquisition-related amortization, as well as $0.15 per share for restructuring and M&A.
The outlook continues to assume a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18% to 19%.
The outlook continues to assume an average diluted share count for the full year of approximately 86.6 million shares.
The company still expects full-year available cash flow to be 85% to 95% of adjusted net income.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release and accompanying earnings release materials include adjusted non-GAAP financial information which should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company presents operating income, operating margin, earnings before income taxes, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted earnings per ordinary share (EPS) on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, revenue growth on a U.S. GAAP basis and organic revenue growth on a non-GAAP basis, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin (all non-GAAP measures) and Available Cash Flow (“ACF,” a non-GAAP measure), including in certain cases, on a segment basis. The company presents these non-GAAP measures because management believes these non-GAAP measures provide management and investors useful perspective of the company’s underlying business results and trends and a more comparable measure of period-over-period results. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining at-risk compensation. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as alternatives to the related U.S. GAAP measures. Further information about the adjusted non-GAAP financial tables is attached to this news release. The Quarterly Financial Highlights, Full-Year Financial Highlights and 2026 Full-Year Outlook Highlights contain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. When we provide forward-looking outlooks for any of the various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.
