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 ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the 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, 2018. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases. In general, for lease arrangements of a twelve-month term or greater, these arrangements will be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the statement of comprehensive income will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases)", which provided narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, and ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements", which provided an additional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply ASU 2016-02, and subsequent related standards, at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements", which exempts entities from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year of adoption of ASU 2016-02 and its related standards. These ASUs (collectively “ASC 842”) were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, utilizing the transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11. Comparative period financial information has not been adjusted for the effects of adopting ASC 842, and no cumulative-effect adjustment was required to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date.

The Company has also made updates to its systems, policies and internal controls over financial reporting related to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. See Note 9 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for further information and expanded disclosure related to the Company's lease portfolio.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses." The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. These ASUs will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The new guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud-based hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2018-15 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITIONS

2018

In 2018, the Company completed six acquisitions:

Technical Glass Products, Inc. ("TGP")
 
January 2018
Hammond Enterprises, Inc. ("Hammond")
 
January 2018
Qatar Metal Industries LLC ("QMI")

AD Systems, Inc. ("AD Systems")
 
March 2018
Gainsborough Hardware and API Locksmiths ("Door and Access Systems")
 
July 2018
ISONAS Security Systems, Inc. ("ISONAS")
 
July 2018
Total cash paid for these acquisitions was approximately $373 million (net of cash acquired), including $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019. These acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations. The allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is complete as of March 31, 2019, for the Company's acquisitions of TGP, Hammond, QMI, AD Systems and ISONAS; however, such allocation is still preliminary as of March 31, 2019, for the acquisition of Door and Access Systems pending completion of final tax balances.

The preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions listed above is as follows:

Intangible assets are primarily comprised of approximately $59 million of indefinite-lived trade names, $112 million of customer relationships and $33 million of completed technologies and other intangibles, which includes approximately $6 million of acquired backlog revenue. The customer relationships have a 17-year weighted-average useful life, while the completed technologies and other intangibles, excluding the backlog revenue, have a 16-year weighted-average useful life. The backlog revenue was fully amortized as of June 30, 2018.

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, for example, assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2018, reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if these acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2017:

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the pro forma events taken place on the date indicated or the future consolidated results of operations of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting the historical financial results to reflect additional items directly attributable to the acquisitions that would have been incurred assuming the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2017. Adjustments to historical financial information include removal of backlog revenue acquired as well as acquisition and integration costs incurred related to these acquisitions, partially offset by incremental amortization of intangible assets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of acquisition and integration related expenses. These expenses are included in Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

In 2018, the Company also made $8 million of equity method investments in three entities, Yonomi Inc., a U.S. based mobile application and cloud platform provider for connected living, Nuki GmbH, a European retrofit residential smart lock innovator, and Conneqtech, a European based IoT platform developer specializing in connected mobility and tracking features for bicycles and healthcare.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has an unsecured Credit Agreement in place that provides for up to $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities mature on September 12, 2022, and are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by the Company and Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022. The Company repaid $8.8 million of principal on its Term Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The 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. At March 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Facility and the Company had $17.1 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company, of (i) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.125% to 1.500% depending on the Company's credit ratings. At March 31, 2019, the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest at

7

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


LIBOR plus a margin of 1.250%. To manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR rates, the Company has interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate for $250.0 million of the outstanding borrowings (see Note 8).

The Credit Facilities contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company's ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio, as defined within the agreement. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2019, Allegion US Hold Co 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” and, together with the 3.200% Senior Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2027, respectively.
 
The 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 Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and ranks equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The weighted average interest rate for borrowings was 3.37% under the Credit Facilities (including the effect of interest rate swaps), 3.200% under the 3.200% Senior Notes and 3.550% under the 3.550% Senior Notes at March 31, 2019.

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 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 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 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 income (AOCI) and subsequently reclassified into 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. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective subsequent to inception, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
Currency Hedging Instruments
The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $158.7 million and $81.8 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, gains of $0.8 million and $1.8 million, net of tax, were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $0.8 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, 2019, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was less than one year.

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate paid during the contract period for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate Term Facility. These interest rate swaps expire in September 2020 and meet the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, gains of $3.1 million and $4.3 million, net of tax, were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these interest rate swaps. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of approximately $2 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts and swaps consist of a number of investment grade major international financial institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, the credit ratings and the concentration of risk in these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Company.

NOTE 9 - LEASES

The Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which the Company is a lessee, in accordance with ASC 842. 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, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has no significant lease agreements in place for which the Company is a lessor, and substantially all of the Company's leases for which the Company is a lessee are classified as operating leases. Total rental expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was $11.1 million

and is classified within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Rental expense related to short-term leases, variable lease payments or other leases or lease components not included within the ROU asset or lease liability totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. No material lease costs have been capitalized on the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company has utilized the following elections and practical expedients:

The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component, and the non-lease components associated with that lease component, as a single lease component.
If at the 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 will elect not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements. Nonetheless, the Company will include leases of less than 12 months within the updated footnote disclosures where applicable.
If the Company enters into a large number of leases in the same month with the same terms and conditions, these will be looked at as a group (portfolio) assuming the lease model under this approach will not materially differ from applying ASC 842 to each individual lease.
The Company has elected to not reassess arrangements entered into prior than January 1, 2019, in terms of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, the lease classification applied or to separate initial direct costs.
The Company has elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term for lease contracts that have historically been renewed or amended.

When available, the Company will utilize the rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability in accordance with ASC 842. However, if this rate is not available, the Company will use its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate, which is the rate at inception of the lease the Company would incur to borrow over a similar term the funds needed to purchase the leased asset.

As a lessee, the Company categorizes its leases into two general categories: real estate leases and equipment leases.

The Company’s real estate lease portfolio includes leased production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, office space and to a lesser degree, employee housing. The terms and conditions of real estate leases can vary significantly from lease to lease. The Company has assessed the specific terms and conditions of each real estate 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. In determining whether or not a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company assesses all relevant factors to determine if sufficient incentives exist as of lease commencement to conclude renewal is reasonably certain. There are no material residual value guarantees provided by the Company nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by the real estate leases to which the Company is a party. In determining the lease liability, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate 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 are expensed as incurred.

The Company’s equipment leases include vehicles, material handling equipment, other machinery and equipment utilized in the Company's production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, laptops and other IT equipment, as well as other miscellaneous leased equipment. Most of the 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 and lease term as it does to its real estate lease portfolio. There are no material residual value guarantees provided by the Company nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by the equipment leases to which the Company is a party. In determining the lease liability, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value. The Company does not typically incur variable lease payments related to its equipment leases.

NOTE 10 - PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits, for certain eligible employees.

Pension Plans
The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key employees.

NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2019, were as follows:

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.
Interest rate swaps – These instruments include interest rate swap contracts for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate debt. The fair value of the derivative instruments is determined based on quoted prices for the Company's swaps, which is not considered an active market.
Foreign currency contracts – These instruments include foreign currency contracts for non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts is determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.
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 senior notes maturing through 2027. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Accounts and notes receivable, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2019, are the same as those used at December 31, 2018.

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

Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense is included in Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The following table summarizes the expenses recognized for the three months ended March 31:

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 three-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:

6.0 years

Expected volatility is based on the weighted-average combination of the Company's historic volatility and of the implied volatility of a group of the Company’s peers. 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 Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program ("PSP") for key employees which 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, 2019, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.1 million shares.

In February 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted PSUs that were earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by earnings per share ("EPS") performance in relation to pre-established targets 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.

Deferred Compensation

Prior to 2019, the Company allowed key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.

NOTE 14 - RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of expenses associated with restructuring activities. These expenses are included within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was primarily related to Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit income, less service cost, partially offset by foreign currency exchange loss.

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were 15.8% and 16.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2018 is primarily due to the favorable mix of income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions.

NOTE 17 - EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

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

At March 31, 2019, 0.2 million stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 18 - NET REVENUES

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, and is the unit of account under ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). The Company has two principal revenue streams, tangible product sales and services. Approximately 99% of consolidated Net revenues involve contracts with a single performance obligation, which is 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). Net revenues are measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring control of the products 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 over time based on the Company's historical rates of providing these incentives and annual forecasted sales volumes. The Company also offers a standard warranty with most product sales, and the value of such warranty is included in the contractual price. The corresponding cost of the warranty obligation is accrued as a liability (see Note 20).

The Company's remaining Net revenues involve services, including installation and consulting. Unlike the single performance obligation to ship a product or bundle of products, revenue recognition related to services is delayed until the service 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 the criteria established in the order. In these instances, revenue 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded.

The Company applies the practical expedients allowed under ASC 606 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 Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The Company’s payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which its businesses operate.

The following tables show the Company's Net revenues related to both tangible product sales and services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, disaggregated by business segment. Net revenues are shown by tangible product sales and services, as contract terms, conditions and economic factors affecting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty around revenue recognition and cash flows are substantially similar within each of these two principal revenue streams:

As of March 31, 2019, 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 are material. 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 does not have any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized under ASC 606.

NOTE 19 - BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Environmental Matters

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

The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and 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.

The Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.7 million of expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $21.6 million and $22.6 million, respectively. The total reserve at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, included $5.7 million and $6.3 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 Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $5.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and the remainder is classified as noncurrent. 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 discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented.
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased by 6.8%, or $41.9 million, compared with the same period in 2018, which resulted from the following:

Total

The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes, improved pricing and acquisitions during the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.
Operating Income/Margin
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $9.3 million compared to the same period in 2018, and Operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased to 16.5% from 16.1% for the same period in 2018, due to the following:

The increases were primarily due to favorable volume/product mix and pricing improvements and productivity in excess of inflation. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, increased investment spending, increased restructuring and acquisition expenses and the impact from acquisitions made in 2018.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $0.8 million compared with the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher interest rates on our Term Facility.
Other Income, Net
The components of Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased by $0.7 million compared to the same period in 2018, due primarily to investment income of $1.6 million, which is included in Other in the table above, and a foreign currency exchange gain during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a foreign currency exchange loss during the three months ended March 31, 2018. These increases were partially offset by increased Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost of $1.7 million compared to the same period in 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, were 15.8% and 16.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2018 is primarily due to the favorable mix of income earned in lower tax rate jurisdictions.

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 our financial performance and makes operating decisions.

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

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

The increases were primarily due to favorable volume/product mix and pricing improvements and productivity in excess of inflation. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, increased investment spending and year-over-year increases in restructuring and acquisition expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and uses of liquidity

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

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the 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 operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $2.5 million compared to the same period in 2018. This increase in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was primarily due to changes in working capital partially offset by higher Net earnings.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, decreased $267.2 million compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to cash payments related to acquisitions in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased $78.3 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to $63.8 million of cash used to repurchase shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $30.0 million during the same period in 2018, as well as a $40.0 million decrease in drawings on our Revolving Facility. Additionally, dividend payments increased by $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.

As of March 31, 2019, we have an unsecured Credit Agreement in place that provides for up to $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities mature on September 12, 2022. The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022. The Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. At March 31, 2019, we had no borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Facility, and we had $17.1 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest at our option of (i) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.125% to 1.500% depending on our credit ratings. To manage our exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR rates, we have interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate for $250.0 million of the outstanding borrowings (see Note 8 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements).

As of March 31, 2019, we also have $400.0 million outstanding of 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million outstanding of 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes” and, together with the 3.200% Senior Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2027, 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 March 31, 2019, we analyzed our working capital requirements and the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if certain subsidiaries made distributions and concluded that no changes to our historic permanent reinvestment assertions are required.
  
Pension Plans

Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contributions and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. Global asset allocation decisions are based on a dynamic approach whereby a plan's allocation to fixed income assets increases as the funded status increases. We monitor plan funded status, asset allocation and the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans regularly in addition to investment manager performance. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 10 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to Part II, Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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, 2019, 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, 2018, aside from our adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019.

In accordance with this new guidance, we record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which we are a lessee. In determining if a contract represents a lease, consideration is given to all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract conveys to us the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In addition to the judgment involved in determining whether or not a contract represents a lease, further judgment and estimation is required in determining the lease classification and the amount of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability for each lease, which includes determining the appropriate lease term and an applicable discount rate. We assess the specific terms and conditions of each lease to determine the appropriate classification as either an operating or finance lease. In determining the appropriate length of the lease term, we consider both the minimum period over which lease payments are required plus any renewal options that are both within our control to exercise and are reasonably certain of being exercised as of lease commencement. In determining whether or not a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, we assess all relevant factors to determine if sufficient incentives exist as of lease commencement to conclude renewal is reasonably certain. When available, we utilize the rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability. If this rate is unavailable, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate, which is the rate at inception of the lease that we would hypothetically incur to borrow over a similar term the funds needed to purchase the leased asset. The impact to the amount of ROU assets and lease liabilities included on our financial position could be materially impacted by the change in or initial selection of these assumptions and estimates.

changes to trade agreements, sanctions, import and export regulations and custom duties;
the outcome of any litigation, governmental investigations or proceedings;
interest rate fluctuations and other changes in borrowing costs, in addition to risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness;

availability of and fluctuations in the prices of key commodities and the impact of higher energy prices;
potential further impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and/or our long-lived assets;
ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce;
risks related to our spin-off from Ingersoll Rand plc;
the possible effects on us of future legislation or interpretations in the U.S. that may limit or eliminate potential U.S. tax benefits resulting from our incorporation in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, such as Ireland, or deny U.S. government contracts to us based upon our incorporation in such non-U.S. jurisdiction; and
the impact our outstanding indebtedness 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, 2018. 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.
