Access control security products and solutions are critical elements in every building and home. Many door openings are configured to maximize a room’s particular form and function while also meeting local and national building and safety code requirements and end-user security needs. Most buildings have multiple door openings, each serving its own purpose and requiring different specific access-controlaccess control solutions. Each door must fit exactly within its frame, be prepared precisely for its hinges, synchronize with its specific lockset and corresponding latch and align with a specific key to secure the door. Moreover, with the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things ("IoT"), security products – including keys – are increasingly linked electronically, integrated into software and popular consumer technology platforms and controlled with mobile applications, creating additional functionality and complexity. Seamless access capitalizes on the ability for multiple products and brands to work in tandem, allowing people and assets to move efficiently and safely by adapting access rights for various settings or use cases. These solutions can also provide insights on usage and traffic patterns to improve hygiene of high-traffic areas, boost efficiency and improve visitor, staff and tenant experiences.

Heightened awareness of security and privacy requirements;
Increased focus on touchless solutions that help promote a healthy environment; and
The shift to a digital, interconnected environment.

History and Developments


We were incorporated in Ireland on May 9, 2013, to hold the commercial and residential security businesses of what was then Ingersoll Rand plc ("Ingersoll Rand"). On December 1, 2013, we became a stand-alone public company after Ingersoll Rand completed the separation of these businesses from the rest of Ingersoll Rand via the transfer of these businesses from Ingersoll Rand to us and the issuance by us of ordinary shares directly to Ingersoll Rand’s shareholders (the "Spin-off"). Our security businesses have long and distinguished operating histories. Several of our brands were established more than 75100 years ago, and many of our brands originally created their categories:


Von Duprin, established in 1908, was awarded the first exit device patent;
Schlage, established in 1920, was awarded the first patents granted for the cylindrical lock and the push button lock;
LCN, established in 1926, created the first door closer;
CISA, established in 1926, devised the first electronically controlled lock; and
SimonsVoss, established in 1995, created the first keyless digital transponder.


We have built upon these founding legacies since our entry into the security products market through the acquisition of Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN in 1974. Today, we continue to develop and introduce innovative and market-leading products. For example, in 2018, we announced the formation of Allegion Ventures, a corporate venture fund with an initial allocation of $50 million to invest in and help accelerate the growth of companies that have innovative, digital-first technologies and products such as touchless access and workspace monitoring solutions that complement our core business solutions. Building on this success, in December 2021, Allegion Ventures announced a second fund with an additional allocation of $100 million to focus on investing in technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and cybersecurity.

Recent examples of successful product launches by Allegion are illustrated in the table below:

Industry and Competition


The global markets we serve encompass institutional, commercial institutional and residential construction and remodeling markets throughout North America, Europe, the Middle EastAsia and Asia-Pacific. In recent years, growth in electronic security products and solutions continues to outperform the industry as a whole as end-users adopt newer technologies in their facilities.Oceania. We expect the security products industry will continue to benefit from favorable long-term demographic trends such as continued urbanization of the global population, increased concerns about safety and security, new attention on touchless solutions that help promote a healthy environment and technology-driven innovation.innovation that enables seamless access and a better user experience as people and assets traverse multiple locations and facilities. Further, we also expect continued growth in connected security products and solutions as end-users continue to adopt newer technologies, including IoT, in their facilities and single and multi-family homes.


The security products markets are highly competitive and fragmented throughout the world, with a number of large multi-national companies and thousands of smaller regional and local companies. This high fragmentation primarily reflects local regulatory requirements and highly variable end-user needs. We believe our principal global competitors are Assa Abloy AB and dorma+kabadormakaba Group. We also face competition in various markets and product categories throughout the world, including from Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. in the North American residential market. As we move into more technologically-advancedtechnologically advanced product categories, we may also compete against new, more specialized competitors.


Our success depends on a variety of factors, including brand and reputation, product breadth, innovation, integration with popular technology platforms, quality and delivery capabilities, price and service capabilities. As many of our businesses sell through wholesale distribution, our success also depends on building and partnering with a strong channel network. Although price often serves as an important customer decision criterion,point, we also compete based on the breadth, innovation and quality of our products and solutions, our ability to custom-configure solutions to meet individual end-user requirements and our global supply chain.

We operate 3129 principal production and assembly facilities including 14 in theour Allegion Americas region, 12segment and 15 in EMEIA and 5 in Asia Pacific.our Allegion International segment. We own 15 of these facilities and lease the others. Our

strategy is to produce in the region of use, wherever appropriate, to allow us to be closer to the end-user and increase efficiency and timely product delivery. Much of our United States (U.S.)U.S. based residential portfolio is manufactured in the Baja Regionregion of Mexico under a NAFTA Maquiladora.

the Maquiladora, Manufacturing and Export Services Industry ("IMMEX") program. In managing our network of production and assembly facilities, we focus on eliminating excess capacity, reducing cycle time through productivity, and harmonizing production practicescontinuous improvement in customer experience, employee health and safety, procedures.productivity, resource utilization and operational excellence.


We distribute our products through a broad network of channel partners. In addition, third-party manufacturing and logistics providers perform certain manufacturing, storage and distribution services for us to support certain parts of our manufacturing and distribution network.


Raw Materials


We support our region-of-use production strategy with corresponding region-of-use supplier partners, where available. Our global and regional commodity teams work with production leadership, product management and materials management teams to ensure adequateprocure materials are available for production. Where appropriate, we may enter into fixed-cost contracts to lower overall costs.


We purchase a wide range of raw materials, including steel, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals, as well as other parts and components, such as electronic components, to support our production facilities. Where appropriate,During 2021, especially in the second half of the year, we may enter into fixed-cost contractsexperienced an acceleration of several macroeconomic challenges, including supply chain disruptions and delays; shortages in materials, including reductions in allocations of electronic components and other parts from key suppliers; and increased material and other inflation. These trends had a negative impact on our results of operations in 2021, and while we currently anticipate these challenges to lower overall costs.continue in 2022, we are rapidly adapting to navigate these challenges. See "Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a more detailed discussion of these trends and challenges.


Intellectual Property


Intellectual property, inclusive of certain patents, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, is important to our business. We create, protect and enforce our intellectual property investments in a variety of ways. We work actively in the U.S. and internationally to try to ensure the protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights. We use trademarks on nearly all of our products and believe that such distinctive marks are an important factor in creating a market for our goods, in identifying us and in distinguishing our products from others. We consider our CISA, Interflex, LCN, Schlage,

Research and Development

We are committed to investing in highly productiveour research and development capabilities particularly in electro-mechanical systems. Our research and development ("R&D") expenditures were approximately $48.3 million, $47.3 million and $45.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We concentratewith a focus on developing technology innovations that will deliver growth through the introduction of new products and solutions, and also on driving continuoussolutions. In addition, we invest in initiatives that continuously drive improvements in product cost, quality, safety and sustainability.


We manage our R&DOur research and development team is managed as a global, group with an emphasis on a global collaborative approachgroup to identify and develop new technologies and worldwide product platforms. We are organized on a regional basis toOur regionally located resources leverage expertise in local standards and configurations. In additionconfigurations and apply those to regional engineering centers in each geographic region,adapt products for the benefit of our customers. Further, we also operate a global engineeringtechnology center of excellence in Bangalore, India.India, which augments and supports the regional engineering teams.


Seasonality


Our business experiences seasonality that varies by product line. Because more construction and do-it-yourself projects occur during the second and third calendar quarters of each year in the Northern Hemisphere, our security product sales related to those projects are typically are higher in those quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters. However, our Interflex businesscertain other businesses typically experiencesexperience higher sales in the fourth calendar quarter due to project timing. RevenueIn 2020, we experienced lower sales volumes during the second quarter, principally due to the economic challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, this is not anticipated to be a long-term trend in the seasonality of our businesses. Net revenues by quarter for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015 are2019, were as follows:

Human Capital


EmployeesThe Company’s human capital strategy is based on our values and is foundational to achieving our business strategy. To ensure we attract and retain top talent, we strive for a diverse and inclusive culture that rewards performance, provides growth and development opportunities and supports employees and their families through competitive compensation, benefits and numerous volunteer and charitable giving opportunities.


As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 11,000 employees around the world, the vast majority working full time. Our employee base is supplemented by contingent labor where demand fluctuates or we experience short-term needs for specialized skills.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefit programs are tailored to be competitive in the geographies where we work, including the total package (which varies by country/region) that includes hourly and salaried compensation, performance incentive and equity plans, retirement, insurance and government social welfare programs, disability and family leave, education benefits to pursue degrees and certifications and additional offerings to support financial stability and personal planning. Health and wellness programs are provided globally and contribute to a productive, sustainable workforce by empowering our employees to take personal responsibility for their health, safety and well-being. In addition, we maintain tobacco-free facilities and pursue strategies to incentivize healthy behaviors and outcome-driven rewards. Pay for performance strategies consider not only accomplishments, but how individuals achieve results. The Allegion Leadership Behaviors – be a pioneer, break boundaries, coach, champion change, be courageous and inspire – are used to identify key talent and to train and develop aspiring leaders. They also work in concert with our performance management system to reinforce our values and code of conduct in assessing how people lead and deliver top performance.

Talent Attraction

Our employer brand strength creates a differentiated employee experience that attracts and retains the right talent for Allegion, both now and in the future. Talent attraction efforts are focused on our unique employee value proposition and highlight a culture that reflects our core values and business objectives. These efforts begin well before people walk in our doors and begin to work for us. Around the world, our sites partner with schools and support teachers, providing mentoring, grants, scholarships, internships, co-op programs, classroom technology and on-site activities and full-time rotational programs after graduation. Our sites sponsor science, technology, engineering and math ("STEM") programs and robotics and engineering competitions. In the U.S., we also host an annual Manufacturing Day event at several of our production and assembly facilities. These programs expose students to careers in manufacturing and technology and provide educators with programming to encourage academic excellence and social development while building a pipeline of talent for Allegion.

Talent attraction efforts go beyond emerging talent strategies to span core capabilities that enable the business to run, grow and transform. Key capabilities have been identified for our long-term corporate business strategy: talent, customer focus, innovation, partnering, pace and agility and collaboration. We use a variety of recruitment tactics to ensure a strong base of labor for manufacturing operations and to build the base of talent with these capabilities. Throughout the process, there is a focus on driving a technology-enabled seamless experience for internal and external candidates and hiring managers throughout the recruitment cycle. These talent attraction efforts are complemented with a total reward framework, internal learning and development paths and career growth opportunities to secure Allegion as an employer of choice, where people want to come work, stay and thrive.

Talent Development and Succession Planning

Talent development and succession planning at all levels of the organization are instrumental in ensuring we have the key capabilities to deliver the value proposition expected by our customers and employees. Inclusive succession planning is supported through the Allegion Leadership Behaviors, individual career mapping, assessment of performance and talent pipeline planning up to and including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). On a quarterly basis, the executive team reviews talent development, focusing on developing a diverse succession bench, as part of their quarterly business review and a key component of the Allegion Operating System, our system of annual operation to support governance, reporting processes and management of the business. These cross-functional reviews highlight individuals who are ready for new opportunities, individuals who are on a special assignment or project and individuals early in their career that demonstrate emerging leadership skills.

12

Learning and Development

Opportunities for on-going learning and development are delivered to employees through structured coursework, on-site and expert-led training and experiential, applied development. The Allegion Academy is offered globally, supporting multiple languages and providing more than 17,000 self-guided online courses, as well as community channels on targeted skills and inclusion and diversity. We offer programs to provide successive levels of development, including reskilling and upskilling existing employees, as well as strengths-based leadership curriculum. Enterprise excellence initiatives and sprint teams expand skills in lean manufacturing and quality principles and lead to redesigning workflow to boost productivity and reduce waste. Employee-led resource and affinity groups provide enrichment opportunities for women’s leadership, early-career professionals, creativity and innovation, health and fitness, community volunteering and philanthropy.

Engagement, Inclusion and Diversity

A commitment to engagement, inclusion and diversity is core to the Allegion Operating System. Engagement surveys provide team leaders with insights on potential areas of focus and help them prioritize and take action on their teams’ foundational, inclusion, growth and development needs. Strengths-based leadership is an element of our commitment to inclusion: the more employees understand their own strengths, the better equipped they are to add value and appreciate the contributions of diverse members of their teams.

Inclusion and diversity are topics for learning communities, employee roundtables and ongoing, regular analysis and dialogue among our people leaders, executive leadership and our Board of Directors. We believe in fundamental standards that support our employees, including a commitment to building and maintaining diverse and inclusive workplaces, safe and healthy practices and competitive wages and benefits. We embrace all differences and similarities among colleagues and within the relationships we foster with customers, suppliers and the communities where we live and work. Whatever background, experience, race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, gender identity, disability status, sexual orientation, protected veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law, we make sure that potential and current employees have every opportunity for application and the opportunity to give their best at work because it’s the right thing to do.

The combined efforts of Allegion’s Inclusion and Diversity Steering Committee, our Executive Leadership Team ("ELT") and, as of June 2021, a new employee-led Inclusion Council, are driving expectations and accountability while creating role models and change champions. Our engagement, inclusion and diversity strategy has three core pillars:

Learn & listen deeply: Learn to recognize biases and mitigate them. Seek to first understand the other person's perspective rather than respond or act;
Unite widely: Create a workplace where all employees feel welcomed, respected and valued, enabling customers to more easily connect with our brands through our people; and
Take action: Identify the unique things that impact our organization, our communities and our industry.

During 2021, we focused on four action priorities: establish the Inclusion Council; charter and expand employee resource groups; review business policies, processes and practices; and launch the Supplier Diversity Program. In 2021, Allegion was named the winner of the Jackson Lewis Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Champion, on the merits of our company’s proactive and intentional global efforts throughout 2021.

We currentlyare dedicated to fulfilling equal opportunity commitments in all decisions regarding all employment actions and at all levels of employment. In partnership with our Human Resources organization, our Equal Employment Opportunity Officer ensures that the applicable policy and procedures are appropriately established, implemented and disseminated, including those prohibiting discrimination, harassment, bullying and/or retaliation.

Civic Involvement

Civic involvement is part of the value proposition we offer employees and supports inclusion, diversity, growth and development. The Company and its employees provide multi-faceted support for our communities, guided by three philanthropic pillars: safety and security; wellness; and addressing the unique needs of the communities where we work, live and thrive. Corporate sponsorships and voluntary employee payroll deductions support a wide range of non-profits, including those that address housing and school security and safety; children and youth programs; education and scholarships for people of color and those who are economically disadvantaged and support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities; community safety nets for basic needs (e.g., food, shelter, transportation) for underserved people and to break the cycle of poverty; wellness, mental health, health research, emergency relief and blood supply initiatives; and programs to advance
13

equality, justice and address systemic bias. In addition to corporate sponsorships, site leaders and employees are encouraged to organize local volunteer and fundraising activities, provide grants to local organizations and serve on boards and committees.

Respect for Human Rights

Our respect for human rightsisexpressed instandards for our employees, our business partners, our customers and our communities. We have approximately 10,000 employees.adopted and continue to uphold our Global Human Rights Policy, with standards that align with basic working conditions and human rights concepts advanced by international organizations such as the International Labor Organization and the United Nations. This policy also represents our own minimum standards for working conditions and human rights in our business and supply chains. In addition, we conduct risk assessments and continue to have conversations with the suppliers and companies we work with about the importance of human rights.


Employee Health and Safety

Employee health and safety are top priorities, and we consistently rank as the safest among leading competitors on core measures such as the total recordable incident rate. ‘Be safe, be healthy’ is a core organizational value in our proactive safety culture and has guided our response to the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2020 and 2021. We have adopted numerous health and safety measures in accordance with best-practice safe hygiene guidelines issued by recognized health experts like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (“ECDC”) and the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as any applicable government mandates. We continue to adapt to changing health conditions at a local level and support a wide range of health and safety measures, including reduced density, remote and hybrid work options for appropriate roles, cleaning and hygiene protocols, visitor management and mask-wearing. We also encourage preventative measures, including COVID-19 and influenza vaccines and booster shots.

The CEO and senior executives have responsibility for risk management, employee accountability and safety hazard recognition and take a personal responsibility toward executing on safety initiatives. We monitor leading and lagging indicators related to health and safety as part of our ongoing management of the Allegion Operating System and regularly update the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors on key accomplishments and employee health and safety topics. In recognition of our efforts over the past several years to integrate sound environmental, health and safety ("EHS") management with our business operations, in 2021, we received the renowned Robert W. Campbell Award from the National Safety Council.

Regulatory Matters

We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations, both within and outside the U.S., relating to environmental, health and safety concerns. We are committed to conducting our business in a safe, environmentally responsible and sustainable manner, in compliance with all applicable EHS laws and regulations, and in a manner that helps promote and protect the health and safety of our environment, associates, customers, contractors and members of our local communities worldwide.Environmental, Regulationsocial and governance ("ESG") matters are embedded into the Allegion Operating System and, in tandem with our values and Allegion leadership behaviors, create a workplace culture committed to doing the right thing in the right way. Our Board of Directors oversees the Company's ESG initiatives, strategies, goals and performance, and Company leaders and our employees all have a responsibility to uphold excellence, as we believe ESG helps advance engagement and business vitality. We operate with principles that support our proactive commitments, including:

Integrating sound, EHS and sustainability strategies in all elements of our business functions, including objectives and measurements;
Conducting periodic, formal evaluation of our compliance status and annual review of objectives and targets;
Creating a workplace culture where all employees are responsible for safety;
Making continuous improvements in EHS and sustainability management systems and performance, including the reduction in the usage of natural resources, waste minimization, prevention of pollution and prevention of workplace accidents, injuries and risks;
Designing, operating and maintaining our facilities in a manner that minimizes negative EHS and sustainability impacts;
Using materials responsibly, including, where feasible, the recycling and reuse of materials; and
Acting in a way that shows sensitivity to community concerns about EHS and sustainability issues.

We recognize that these principles are critical to our future success. We have a dedicated environmental program that is designed to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process as well asand to remediate any identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities. The CompanyWe also regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative evaluate our
14

remediation methods that are in addition to, or in replacement of, those we currently utilized by the Companyutilize based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes.
We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have, from time to time, received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"("EPA") and similar state authorities. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, our involvement is minimal.

In estimating our liability, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future. For a further discussion of our potential environmental liabilities, see Notes 2 and 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS


We discuss our expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes in this Form 10-K, quarterly and annual reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements except for historical and present factual information are “forward-looking statements” and are based on financial data and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become outdated or incomplete. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could significantly differ from our expectations. You should carefully consider the risksrisk factors discussed below, together with all the other information included in this Form 10-K, in evaluating us, our ordinary shares and our senior notes. If any of the risks below actually occurs, our business, financial conditions,condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Any such adverse effect may cause the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline, and as a result, you could lose all or part of your investment in us. Our business may also be adversely affected by risks and uncertainties not known to us or risks that we currently believe to be immaterial. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or other factors.


Strategic and Operational Risks Related to Our Business


Our business operations have been, and are expected to continue to be, adversely impacted by the global operations subject us to economic risks.

COVID-19 pandemic. We are incorporatedunable to predict the full extent to which the pandemic and related impacts, including macroeconomic impacts and the pace of global economic recovery, will continue to adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 or mitigate this pandemic have caused, and are continuing to cause, business slowdowns or shutdowns in Irelandvarious countries around the world. This pandemic has also caused, and operatemay continue to cause, disruption to our global supply chain and business operations, in countries worldwide. Our global operations dependaddition to the various effects noted elsewhere within the risk factors contained in this Annual Report on products manufactured, purchasedForm 10-K. Numerous actions taken to help limit the spread of COVID-19, such as stay-at-home orders, quarantines, increased border controls and sold in the U.S. and internationally, including in Australia, China, Europe, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and Turkey. The political, economic and regulatory environments in which we operate are becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain. Accordingly, we are subject to risks that are inherent in operating globally, including:

changes in laws and regulations or imposition of currency restrictionsclosures, business shutdowns, and other restraints in various jurisdictions;
limitation of ownership rights, including expropriation of assets by a localpublic health and government mandates that restrict business activities and limitation on the abilitytravel have impacted, and will likely continue to repatriate earnings;
sovereign debt crises and currency instability in developed and developing countries;
changes in applicable tax regulations and interpretations;
imposition of burdensome tariffs and quotas;
difficulty in staffing and managing global operations;
difficulty in enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through non-U.S. legal systems;
political unrest, national and international conflict, including war, civil disturbances and terrorist acts; and
economic downturns and social and political instability.

These risks could increase our cost of doing business in the U.S. and internationally, increase our counterparty risk, disrupt our operations, disrupt the ability of suppliers and customers to fulfill their obligations, increase our effective tax rate, increase the cost of our products, limit our ability to sell products in certain markets, reduce our operating margin and negatively impact our ability to compete.carry out business as usual, including the temporary suspension of some of our operations, shortages in materials, parts and components, fluctuations in customer demand, costs associated with operational changes and an extended period of remote work arrangements for some of our employees which could increase cybersecurity risks and other operational risks. Conversely, as some governments ease their restrictions and social interactions increase prior to the widespread global distribution and adoption of effective vaccines or treatments for COVID-19, and as the COVID-19 virus mutates into more contagious or severe variants, preventative and precautionary measures may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of increased infection and could result in increased illness among our employees, business partners and others, and lead to further business interruption.


OurIn addition, our operations, as well as a significant number of our customers, suppliers, vendors and other business relies onpartners have been, and continue to be, adversely affected by the commercialCOVID-19 pandemic. In particular, shortages in commodities and residential constructionmaterials, including shortages and remodeling markets.

reductions in allocations of electronic and other components from key suppliers, labor shortages and elevated levels of employee absenteeism, freight delays and other supply chain constraints and disruptions have significantly delayed or disrupted, and may continue to adversely impact, both our suppliers’ and our ability to manufacture and deliver products to our customers. We primarily rely on the commercialhave also experienced a significant increase in commodity, parts and residential constructionmaterial component inflation in 2021, as well as inflation in other costs, such as packaging, freight, labor and remodeling markets, which are marked by cyclicality based on overall economic conditions. Weakness or instability in these markets may cause currentenergy prices. Continued supply chain disruptions and potential customersdelays, as well as continued heightened inflation, could lead to delay or choose not to make purchases, whichcontinued periodic production interruptions and other inefficiencies that could negatively impact our productivity, margin performance and our results of operations.

Further, we have experienced increased labor shortages at some of our production and distribution facilities. While we have historically experienced some level of ordinary course turnover of employees, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impacts have exacerbated labor shortages and increased employee turnover. A number of factors have had and may continue to have adverse effects on the labor force available to us, including reduced employment pools, increased competition for manufacturing employees, any unemployment subsidies, including unemployment benefits offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and other government regulations, which include laws and regulations related to workers’ health and safety, wage and hour practices and immigration. It is also uncertain to what extent any COVID-19 vaccine mandates, if imposed or implemented, may result in further workforce attrition. Labor shortages and increased turnover rates within our Company have led to and could in the future lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand forand increased wage rates to attract and retain employees and could negatively affect our productsability to efficiently operate our production facilities or otherwise operate at full capacity. An overall or prolonged labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover or labor cost inflation could have a material adverse impact on our operations, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Despite our best efforts to manage and services.mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to the Company, their ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of this pandemic, the

emergence and spread of more contagious or severe variants of the COVID-19 virus, the continuing prevalence of severe, unconstrained or escalating rates of infection in certain countries and regions, the availability, adoption and efficacy of treatments and vaccines, future actions taken by public health and governmental authorities, including any unintended consequences of such actions, and the pace of global economic recovery. Further, to the extent our management is focused on mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic which has required, and will continue to require, a large investment of time and resources, our attention and resources may be diverted from other business matters.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and its ultimate impact on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict. The continued spread of COVID-19 may have further adverse impacts on our business, operations, customer demand, supply chain, cash flow generation, financial position and liquidity and may also exacerbate other risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Increased competition, including from technicaltechnological developments, could adversely affect our business.


The markets in which we operate include a large number of participants, including multi-national, companies, regional companies and small, local companies. We primarily compete on the basis of quality, innovation, expertise, effective channels to market, breadth of product offering and price. We may be unable to effectively compete on all these bases. Further, in a number of our product offerings, we compete with our retail customers and technology partners who use their own private labels. If we are unable to anticipate evolving trends in the market or the timing and scale of our competitors’ activities and initiatives, including increased competition from private label brands, the demand for our products and services could be negatively impacted.


In addition, we compete in a marketan industry that is experiencing the convergence of the mechanical, electronic and digital products. Technology and innovation play significant roles in the competitive landscape. Our success depends, in part, upon the research, development and implementation of new technologies and products.products including obtaining, maintaining and enforcing necessary intellectual property protections. Securing and maintaining key partnerships and alliances, as well asrecruiting and retaining highly skilled and qualified employee talent includingand having access to technologies, services, intellectual property and solutions developed by others will play a significant role in our ability to effectively compete. The continual development of new technologies by existing and new competitors, including non-traditional competitors with significant resources, could adversely affect our ability to sustain operating margins and desirable levels of sales volumes. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and respond to new technologies in a timely manner.


Our growth is dependent, in part, on the development, commercialization and acceptance of new products and services.


We must develop and commercialize new products and services that meet the varied and evolving needs of our customers and end-users in order to remain competitive in our current and future markets and in order to continue to grow our business. The speed of development by our competitors and new market entrants is increasing. We cannot provide any assurance that any new product or service will be successfully commercialized in a timely manner, if ever, or, if commercialized, will result in returns greater than our investment. Investment in a product or service could divert our attention and resources from other projects that become more commercially viable in the market. We also cannot provide any assurance that any new product or service will be accepted by the market.


Changes in customer and consumer preferences and the inability to maintain beneficial relationships with large customers could adversely affect our business.


We have significant customers, particularly major retailers, although no one customer represented 10% or more of our total Net revenues in any of the past three fiscal years. The loss or material reduction of business, either due to a reduction in demand from one or more of our significant customers, or our inability to timely meet the elevated level of customer demand for various reasons, the lack of success of sales initiatives or changes in customer preferences or loyalties for our products related to any such significant customer could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, major customers who are volume purchasers are much larger than us and have strong bargaining power with suppliers. This limits our ability to recover cost increases through higher selling prices. Furthermore, unanticipated inventory adjustments by these customers can have a negative impact on sales.


Our brandsWe also sell our products through various trade channels, including traditional retail and e-commerce channels. If we or our major customers are important assetsnot successful in navigating the shifting consumer preferences to distribution channels such as e-commerce, our expected future revenues may be negatively impacted.

Additionally, as end-users have continued to adopt newer technologies in their facilities and homes, accelerated by the increasing adoption of IoT technologies, our brand nameindustry is seeing a shift in demand from mechanical security products to electronic security products and reputation, interfere with relationships with our customerssolutions, including connected devices. Electronic security products and increase litigation costs. Theresolutions are increasingly more sophisticated and technologically complex than the mechanical security products we sell and have an increased risk of design, cybersecurity or manufacturing defects, which could lead to product liability claims, recalls, product replacements or modifications, write-offs of inventory or other assets and significant warranty and other expenses. Product quality issues can be no assurance that our on-going effort to protect our brand and trademark rights will prevent all violations.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations mayalso adversely affect our results.

We are exposed to a varietythe end-user experience, resulting in reputational harm, loss of competitive advantage, poor market risks, including the effectsacceptance, reduced demand for products and solutions, delay in new product and service introductions and lost sales. Further, adverse publicity, whether or not justified, or allegations of changes in currency exchange rates. See "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk."

Approximately 30% of our 2017 net revenues were derived outside the U.S., and we expect sales to non-U.S. customers to continue to represent a significant portion of our consolidated net revenues. Although we may enter into currency exchange contracts to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuations, changes in the relative fair values of currencies occur from time to time and may, in some instances, have a material impact on our results of operations. Because we do not hedge against all of our currency exposure our business will continue to be susceptible to currency fluctuations.

We also translate assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies into U.S. dollars for our consolidated financial statements based on applicable exchange rates. Consequently, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies will have a material impact on the value of these items in our consolidated financial statements,product or service quality issues, even if their value has not changed in their original currency.false or unfounded, could damage our reputation and negatively affect our sales.


Our business strategy includesand innovation strategies include making acquisitions of, and investments that complement our existing business.in, external companies. These acquisitions and investments could be unsuccessful or consume significant resources, which could adversely affect our operating and financial results.


We will continue to analyze and evaluate the acquisition of strategic businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen our industry position or enhance our existing set of products and services offerings. We cannot assure youprovide assurance that we will identify or successfully complete transactionsacquisitions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future, nor can we assure youprovide assurance that completed acquisitions will be successful.successful, or otherwise result in efficient integration and creation of synergies.


Some of the businesses we may seek to acquire or invest in may be marginally profitable or unprofitable. For these businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we must improve their management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard, and we may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations. Further, there may be difficulties in evaluating potential acquisitions, including the possibility that our due diligence may not reveal or fully assess valuation issues, potential liabilities or other acquisition risks.




Acquisitions and investments may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence, operating losses and expenses. Acquisitions also involve numerous other risks, including:


diversionDiversion of managementmanagement's time and attention from daily operations;
difficultiesDifficulties integrating acquired businesses, technologies and personnel into our business;
difficultiesDifficulties completing the transaction in a timely manner;
Difficulties realizing synergies expected to result from acquisitions;
difficultiesDifficulties in obtaining and verifying the financial statements and other business information of acquired businesses;
inabilityInability to obtain regulatory approvals and/or required financing on favorable terms;
potentialPotential loss of key employees, key contractual relationships or key customers of acquired companies or of us;
assumptionDifficulties competing in the new markets we enter;
Assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies;
dilutionDilution of interests of holders of our ordinary shares through the issuance of equity securities or equity-linked securities; and
difficultyDifficulty in integrating financial reporting systems and implementing controls, procedures and policies, including disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, appropriate for public companies of our size at companies that, prior to the acquisition, had lacked such controls, procedures and policies.


Further, as part of our innovation strategy, from time to time we invest in start-up companies and/or development stage technology or other companies. In evaluating these opportunities, we follow a structured evaluation process that considers factors such as potential financial returns, new expertise in emerging technology and business benefits. Despite our best efforts to calculate potential return and risk, some or all of the companies we invest in may be unprofitable at the time of, and

subsequent to, our investment. We may lose money in these investments, including the potential for future impairment charges on the investments, and the anticipated benefits of the technology and business relationships may be less than expected.

We continually look to expand our services and products into international markets. As we expand into new international markets, and as we do, we will have only limited experience in marketing and operating services and products in such markets. In othersome instances, we may rely on the efforts and abilities of third-party and foreign business partners in such markets. Certain international markets may be slower than domesticour established markets in adopting our services and products, and our operations in internationalsuch markets may not develop at a rate that supports our level of investment. In addition to the risks outlined above, expansion into internationalcertain new markets may require us to compete with local businesses with greater knowledge of the market, including the tastes and preferences of customers,end-users and businesses with dominant market shares.

It may be difficult for us to complete transactions quickly, integrate acquired operations efficiently into our current business operations or effectively compete in new markets we enter. Any acquisitions or investments may ultimately not be successful, may harm our business or financial condition as such acquisitions may not be successful and may ultimatelyand/or result in impairment charges.


We may pursue business opportunities that diverge from our core business.


We may pursue business opportunities that diverge from our core business, including expanding our products or service offerings, investing in new and unproven technologies and forming new alliances with companies to distribute our products and services. We can offer no assurance that any such business opportunities will prove to be successful. Among other negative effects, our investment in new business opportunities may exceed the returns we realize. Additionally, any new investments could have higher cost structures than our current business, which could reduce operating margins and require more working capital. In the event that working capital requirements exceed operating cash flow, we may be required to draw on our revolving credit facility or pursue other external financing, which may not be readily available.


Our enterprise excellence efforts may not achieve the improvements we expect.


We utilize a number of tools to improve efficiency and productivity. Implementation of new processes to our operations could cause disruptions and theremay prove to be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected. There is no assurance that all of our planned enterprise excellence projects will be fully implemented, or if implemented, will realize the expected improvements.


Our periodic restructuring plansWe may not be successful.able to effectively manage and implement restructuring initiatives or other organizational changes.


We have, in the pastfrom time to time, restructured or made other adjustments to our workforce and manufacturing footprint in response to market changes,or product changes, performance issues, changechanges in strategies,strategy, acquisitions andand/or other internal and external considerations. Historically, these types ofThese restructuring have resultedactivities and other organizational changes often result in increased restructuring costs, diversion of management’s time and temporaryattention from daily operations and temporarily reduced productivity. In addition,If we are unable to successfully manage and implement restructuring and other organizational changes, we may not achieve or sustain the expected growth or cost savings benefits of these restructurings,activities or do so within the expected timeframe. These effects could recur in connection with future acquisitions and other restructuringsorganizational changes and our revenues and other results of operations could be negatively affected.


Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penaltiesThe effects of global climate change or settlementsother unexpected events, including global health crises, may disrupt our operations and have a negative impact on our business.

The effects of global climate change, such as extreme weather conditions and natural disasters occurring more frequently or with more intense effects, or the occurrence of unexpected events including wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis and other severe hazards or global health crises, such as the outbreak of Ebola or the global COVID-19 pandemic, or other actual or threatened epidemic, pandemic, outbreak and spread of a communicable disease or virus, in the countries where we operate or sell products and provide services, could adversely affect our business.

We are currentlyoperations and mayfinancial performance. Extreme weather, natural disasters, power outages, global health crises or other unexpected events could disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and cost of materials needed for manufacturing, causing physical damage and partial or complete closure of our manufacturing sites or distribution centers, loss of human capital, temporary or long-term disruption in the future become involved in legal proceedingsmanufacturing and disputes incidental to the operationsupply of our business. Our business may be adversely affected by the outcome of these proceedings and other contingencies (including, without limitation, environmental matters) that cannot be predicted with certainty. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal

proceedings and other contingencies may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve and we may be required to make additional material payments.

Allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties could negatively affect us.

We may be subject to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights by third parties. In particular, we often compete in areas having extensive intellectual property rights owned by others and we have become subject to claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others. In general, if it is determined that one or more of our technologies, products or services infringes the intellectual property rights owned by others, we may be required to cease marketing those services, to obtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at a material cost or to take other actions to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights. The litigation process is costly and subject to inherent uncertainties, and we may not prevail in litigation matters regardless of the merits of our position. Adverse intellectual property litigation or claims of infringement against us may become extremely disruptive if the plaintiffs succeed in blocking the trade of our products and services and may have a material adverse effectdisruption in our ability to deliver products and services to customers. These events and disruptions could also adversely affect our customers’ and suppliers’ financial condition or ability to operate, resulting in reduced customer demand, delays in payments received or supply chain disruptions. Further, these events and disruptions could increase insurance and other operating costs, including impacting our decisions regarding construction of new facilities to select areas less prone to climate change risks and natural disasters, which could result in indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain or other price modifications to our products and services.

In particular, the ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other global health crisis on our business.
Our reputation, ability to do business, financial condition and results of operations could be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents or business partners.

We are subject to regulation under a variety of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies including laws related to anti-corruption, export and import compliance, anti-trust and money laundering, due to our global operations. We cannot provide assurance our internal controls will always protect us from the improper conduct of our employees, agents and business partners. Any improper conduct could damage our reputation and subject us to, among other things, civil and criminal penalties, material fines, equitable remedies (including profit disgorgement and injunctionsdepend on future conduct), securities litigationdevelopments which are highly uncertain and a general loss of investor confidence.

Disruptions in our global supply chain,cannot be predicted, including product manufacturingnew information that may emerge concerning the duration and logistical services provided by outsourcing partners, may negatively impact our business.

Our ability to meet our customers' needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of supply chain optimizations and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing arrangements. The loss or disruptionseverity of such manufacturingepidemic, pandemic or other global health crisis, actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread and supply arrangements could interrupt product supply and, if not effectively managed and remedied, have an adverse impact on our business.the pace of global economic recovery following containment of the spread.

We outsource certain manufacturing and logistical services to partners located throughout the world. Our reliance on these third parties reduces our control over the manufacturing and delivery process, exposing us to risks, including reduced control over quality assurance, product costs, product supply and delivery delays. If we are unable to manage these relationships, or if these third parties experience delays, disruptions, capacity constraints, regulatory issues or quality control problems in their operations or fail to meet our future requirements for timely delivery, our ability to ship and deliver certain of our hardware products to our customers could be impaired and our hardware business could be harmed.


We may be subject to risks relating to our information technology and operational technology systems.


We rely extensively on information technology and operational technology systems, networks and services including hardware, software, firmware and technological applications and platforms (collectively, "IT Systems") to manage and operate our business.business from end-to-end, including ordering and managing materials from suppliers, design and development, manufacturing, marketing, selling and shipping to customers, invoicing and billing, managing our banking and cash liquidity systems, managing our enterprise resource planning and other accounting and financial systems and complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements. There can be no assurance that our current information technology systemsIT Systems will function properly. We have invested and will continue to invest in improving our information technology systems.IT Systems. Some of these investments are significant and impact many important operational processes and procedures. There is no assurance that any newly implemented information technology systemsIT Systems will improve our current systems, will improve our operations or will yield the expected returns on the investments. In addition, the implementation of new information technology systemsIT Systems may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and cause disruptions in our operations and, if not properly implemented and maintained, negatively impact our business. If our information technology systemsIT Systems cease to function properly or if these systems do not provide the anticipated benefits, our ability to manage our operations could be impaired.



We currently rely on a single vendorthird-party service providers for many of the critical elements of our global information and operational technology infrastructure and itstheir failure to provide effective support for such infrastructure could negatively impact our business and financial results.


We have outsourced many of the critical elements of our global information and operational technology infrastructure to a third-party service providerproviders in order to achieve efficiencies. If thesuch service provider doesproviders do not perform or doesdo not perform effectively, we may not be able to achieve the expected efficiencies and may have to incur additional costs to address failures in providing service by the service provider.providers. Depending on the function involved, such non-performance, ineffective performance or failures of service may lead to business disruptions, processing inefficiencies or security breaches.


Disruptions or breaches of our information systems could adversely affect us.


Despite our implementation of network securitycybersecurity measures which have focused on prevention, mitigation, resilience and recovery, our network and products, including access solutions, may be vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks, computer viruses, malicious codes, malware, ransomware, phishing, social engineering, denial of service, hacking, break-ins and similar disruptions. Cybersecurity attacks and intrusion efforts are continuous and evolving, and in certain cases they have been successful at the most robust institutions. The scope and severity of risks that cyber threats present have increased dramatically and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data or premises, exploiting weaknesses related to vendors or other third parties that could be exploited to attack our systems, denials of service and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, as we face regulatory, reputational and litigation risks resulting from potential cyber incidents, as well as the potential of incurring significant remediation costs. Further, while we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms and exclusions, cover certain aspects of our cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover our losses or all types of claims that may arise in the continually evolving area of cyber risk.

Our daily business operations also require us to collect and/or retain sensitive data such as intellectual property, proprietary business information and data related to customers, employees, suppliers and business partners within our networking infrastructure. Theinfrastructure including data from individuals subject to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and/or customer-imposed controls. Despite our efforts to protect such data, the loss or breach of such informationdata due to various causes including material security breaches, catastrophic events, extreme weather, natural disasters, power outages, system failures, computer viruses, improper data handling, programming errors, unauthorized access and employee error or malfeasance could result in wide reaching negative impacts to our business, and as such, the ongoing maintenance and security of this information is pertinent to the success of our business operations and our strategic goals.


In addition, we operate in an environment where there are different and potentially conflicting data privacy laws and regulations in effect or expected to go into effect in the future, including regulations related to devices connected through IoT, in the
20

Table of Contents
various jurisdictions in which we operate, and we must understand and comply with such laws and regulations while ensuring our data is secure.

Our networking infrastructure and related assets may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers, employee errors,error or malfeasance or other unforeseen activities. Such issues could result in the disruption of business processes, network degradation and system downtime, along with the potential that a third party will exploit our critical assets such as intellectual property, proprietary business information and data related to our customers, suppliers and business partners. To the extent that such disruptions occur and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these disruptions in a timely manner, they may cause delays in the manufacture or shipment of our products and the cancellation of customer orders and, as a result, our business operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, resulting in a possible loss of business or brand reputation.


CommodityOur ability to successfully grow and expand our business depends on our ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce.

Our ability to successfully grow and expand our business is dependent upon our ability to recruit and retain a workforce with the skills necessary to develop, manufacture and deliver the products and services desired by our customers. We need highly skilled and qualified personnel in multiple areas, including engineering, sales, manufacturing, information technology, cybersecurity, business development, strategy and management. We must therefore continue to effectively recruit, retain and motivate highly qualified, skilled and diverse personnel to maintain our current business and support our projected growth. A shortage of these employees for various reasons, including intense competition for skilled employees, labor shortages, price increasesincreased labor costs, candidates’ preference to work remotely, changes in laws and higher energy prices couldpolicies regarding immigration and work authorizations in jurisdictions where we have operations, or any government or public health mandates, such as vaccine mandates, that may result in workforce attrition and difficulty with recruiting, may jeopardize our ability to grow and expand our business.

Disruptions in our global supply chain, including product manufacturing and logistical services provided by our supplier partners, may negatively affectimpact our financial results.business.


We rely on suppliers to secureprocure certain products, including raw materials and other commodities, including steel, zinc, brass and other non-ferrous metals, required foras well as parts, components (including electronic components) and logistical services from supplier partners located throughout the manufacture ofworld. Our ability to meet our products. A disruption of deliveries from our suppliers or decreased availability of commodities could have an adverse effectcustomers' needs and achieve cost targets depends on our ability to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including execution of supply chain optimizations and certain sole supplier or sole manufacturing arrangements. Our reliance on these third parties reduces our control over the manufacturing and delivery process, exposing us to risks including reduced control over quality assurance, product costs, product supply and delivery delays. Additionally, because not all of our supply arrangements provide for guaranteed supply and some key parts and components may be available only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers, we are also subject to supply and pricing risks, which could negatively impact our margin performance and results of operations.

If we are unable to effectively manage these relationships, or if these third parties experience delays, disruptions, shortages of materials, labor, electronic and other components, capacity constraints, regulatory issues or quality control problems in their operations, freight delays and other supply chain constraints and disruptions, or otherwise fail to meet our commitmentsfuture requirements for timely delivery, our ability to ship and deliver certain of our products to our customers or increasecould be impaired and our operating costs. We believe that available sources of supply will generallybusiness could be sufficientharmed.

Economic, Market and Financial Risks

Increased prices and inflation could negatively impact our margin performance and our financial results.

Increased inflation, including rising prices for our needs for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the unavailability of some commodities could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increaseraw materials, parts and components, freight, packaging, labor and energy increases the costs ofto manufacture and distribute our products and services, and we may not be ableunable to pass on these costs on to our customers. We do not currently use financial derivatives to hedge against this volatility in commodity prices; however, we utilize firm purchase commitments, where possible, to help mitigate risk. The pricing of some commoditiesmaterials, parts and components we use is based on market prices. To mitigate this exposure, we may use annual price contracts to minimize the impact of inflation and to benefit from deflation.


Additionally, we are exposed to fluctuations in other costs such as packaging, freight, labor and energy prices. If inflation in these costs increases beyond our ability to control for them through measures such as implementing operating efficiencies, we

may not be able to increase prices due to sufficiently offset the effect of various cost increases without negatively impacting customer demand, thereby negatively impacting our margin performance and results of operations.

Our global operations subject us to economic risks.

We are incorporated in Ireland and operate in countries worldwide. Our global operations depend on products manufactured, purchased and sold in the U.S. and internationally, including in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and the Middle East. The political, economic and regulatory environments in which we operate are becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain. Accordingly, we are subject to risks that are inherent in operating globally, including:

Changes to trade agreements, sanctions, import and export regulations, including imposition of burdensome tariffs and quotas, and customs duties;
Changes in applicable tax regulations and interpretations;
Economic downturns;
Social and political instability, civil strife and other geographical uncertainty;
Changes in laws and regulations or imposition of current market prices. Higher energy costscurrency restrictions and other restraints in various jurisdictions;
Limitation of ownership rights, including expropriation of assets by a local government, and limitation on the ability to repatriate earnings;
Sovereign debt crises and currency instability in developed and developing countries;
Difficulty in staffing and managing global operations;
Difficulty in enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through non-U.S. legal systems;
Political unrest, national and international conflict, including war, border closures, civil disturbances and terrorist acts; and
Difficulty in transporting materials, components and products.

These risks could increase our operating costscost of doing business in the U.S. and internationally, increase our counterparty risk, disrupt our operations, disrupt the ability of suppliers and customers to fulfill their obligations, increase our effective tax rate, increase the cost of shippingour products, limit our ability to sell products in certain markets, reduce our operating margin, reduce cash flows and/or negatively impact our ability to compete.

Our business relies on the institutional, commercial and residential construction and remodeling markets.

Demand for our security products and solutions relies on the institutional, commercial and residential construction and remodeling markets, which are marked by cyclicality based on overall economic conditions, including consumer confidence and disposable income, corporate and government spending, work-from-home trends, availability of credit and demand for new housing and infrastructure. Weakness or instability in one or more of these markets may cause current and potential customers to delay or cancel major capital projects, or otherwise choose not to make purchases, which could negatively impact the demand for our products and supplying servicessolutions and erode average selling prices.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. See "Part II, Item 7A. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

Approximately 30% of our 2021 Net revenues were derived outside the U.S., and we expect sales to non-U.S. customers aroundto continue to represent a significant portion of our consolidated Net revenues. Although we may enter into currency exchange contracts to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuations, changes in the world. Consequently, sharp price increases, the impositionrelative fair values of taxes or an interruption of supply, could cause uscurrencies occur from time to lose the ability to effectively manage the risk of rising energy pricestime and may, in some instances, have an adversea material impact on our results of operationsoperations. We do not hedge against all our currency exposure and cash flows.therefore, our business will continue to be susceptible to currency fluctuations.


We also translate assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies into U.S. dollars for our Consolidated Financial Statements based on applicable exchange rates. Consequently, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies may have a material impact on the value of these items in our Consolidated Financial Statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency.

We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other indefinite-lived intangiblelong-lived assets.


At December 31, 2017,2021, the net carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets totaled approximately $761.2$803.8 million and $75.4$113.9 million, respectively. Pursuant to GAAP,U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we are required to annually assess our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other long-livedintangible assets to determine if they are impaired.for impairment. In addition, interim assessments must be performed for these and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If the testing performed indicates that impairment has occurred, we are required to record a non-cash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value

of the goodwill or other intangible assets and the fair value of the goodwill or other intangible assets in the period the determination is made. DisruptionsSignificant disruptions to our business or end market conditions, and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results of reporting units, divestitures andor market capitalization declines may result in additionalrecognition of impairment charges forto our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible or other long-lived assets. Any charges relating to such impairments could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the periods when recognized.

The capital and other asset impairments. credit markets are important to our business.

Instability in U.S. and global capital and credit markets, including market disruptions, limited liquidity and interest rate volatility or reductions in the credit ratings assigned to us by independent ratings agencies, could reduce our access to capital markets or increase the cost of funding our short and long-term credit requirements. In particular, if we are unable to access capital and credit markets on terms that are acceptable to us, we may not be able to make certain investments or fully execute our business plans and strategy.

Our suppliers and customers are also dependent upon the capital and credit markets. Limitations on the ability of customers, suppliers or financial counterparties to access credit could lead to insolvencies of key suppliers and customers, limit or prevent customers from obtaining credit to finance purchases of our products and services and cause delays in the delivery of key products from suppliers.

There are risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness.

We have significant intangible assets, including goodwill withapproximately $1.45 billion of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2021. In addition, we have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "2021 Revolving Facility") that permits borrowings of up to an indefinite life, which are susceptible to valuation adjustments as a result of changesadditional $500 million. Volatility in such factors and conditions.

The basis of the fair value for our impairment assessments is determined by projecting future cash flows using assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our weighted average cost of capital that we use to determine our discount rate and through our stock price that we use to determine our market capitalization. Although our last analysis regarding the fair values of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for our reporting units indicates that they exceed their respective carrying values, materially different assumptions regarding the future performance of our businesses or significant declines in our stock pricemarkets could result in additional goodwill and intangible impairment losses. Specifically, an unanticipated deterioration in net revenues and operating margins generated by our EMEIA and/or Asia Pacific segments could trigger future impairment in those segments. While we currently believe that our projected results will not result in future impairment, a deterioration in results or other factors could trigger a future impairment.

Successful sales and marketing efforts depend onadversely impact our ability to recruitobtain favorable financing terms in the future. A portion of our cash flows from operations is dedicated to servicing our indebtedness and retain qualified employees.will not be available for other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures, payment of dividends, share repurchases or future business opportunities.


Our ability to successfully growmake scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends, sell assets, seek additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In such event, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to sell material assets or operations to attempt to meet our debt service and other obligations.

Additionally, at December 31, 2021, our borrowings included a variable rate term loan facility (the "2021 Term Facility", and together with the 2021 Revolving Facility, the "2021 Credit Facilities") with an outstanding balance of $250 million, which exposes us to variable interest rate risk. We are also exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent that we fund our operations with short-term or variable-rate borrowings under our 2021 Revolving Facility. If variable base rates under our 2021 Credit Facilities increase in the future, our Interest expense could increase.

Legal and Compliance Risks

We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and reputational matters.

Our reputation and the reputation of our brands, including the perception held by our customers, end-users, business partners, investors, other key stakeholders and the communities in which we do business are influenced by various factors. There is an increased focus from our stakeholders on ESG practices and disclosure – and if we fail, or are perceived to have failed, in any number of ESG matters, such as environmental stewardship, inclusion and diversity, workplace conduct and support for local communities, or to effectively respond to changes in, or new, legal or regulatory requirements concerning climate change or other sustainability concerns, our reputation or the reputation of our brands may suffer. Such damage to our reputation and the reputation of our brands may negatively impact our business, dependsfinancial condition and results of operations.

In addition, negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or networking websites about the contributionsCompany or our brands could generate adverse publicity that could damage our reputation or the reputation of our brands. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about product quality, safety, corporate social responsibility or other matters, sentiments toward the Company or our products could be negatively impacted, and abilitiesour financial results could suffer.

Our brands are important assets of key executives, our businesses, and violation of our trademark rights by imitators could negatively impact revenues and brand reputation.

Our brands and trademarks enjoy a reputation for quality and value and are important to our success and competitive position. Unauthorized use of our trademarks may not only erode sales forceof our products but may also cause significant damage to our brand name and reputation, interfere with relationships with our customers and increase litigation costs. There can be no assurance that our on-going effort to protect our brand and trademark rights will prevent all violations.

Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our business.

We are currently and may in the future become involved in legal proceedings and disputes incidental to the operation of our business. Our business may be adversely affected by the outcome of these proceedings and other personnel, includingcontingencies (including, without limitation, environmental, product liability, antitrust, intellectual property, data protection, privacy and labor and employment matters) that cannot be predicted with certainty. As required by GAAP, we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings and other contingencies may affect our assessment and estimates of the abilityloss contingency recorded as a reserve, and we may be required to make additional material payments.

Allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties could negatively affect us.

We may be subject to claims of infringement of intellectual property rights by third parties. In particular, we often compete in areas having extensive intellectual property rights owned by others and we have become subject to claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others. In general, if it is determined that one or more of our sales forcetechnologies, products or services infringes the intellectual property rights owned by others, we may be required to adaptcease marketing those products or services, to any changes madeobtain licenses from the holders of the intellectual property at a material cost or to take other actions to avoid infringing such intellectual property rights. The litigation process is costly and subject to inherent uncertainties, and we may not prevail in litigation matters regardless of the sales organizationmerits of our position. Adverse intellectual property litigation or claims of infringement against us may become extremely disruptive if the plaintiffs succeed in blocking the trade of our products and achieve adequate customer coverage. We must therefore continueservices and may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are subject to regulatory risks.


Our U.S. and non-U.S. operations are subject to a number of laws and regulations, including fire and building codes and standards, environmental, and health and safety.safety standards. We have incurred, and will be required to continue to incur, significant expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations. Changes to, or changes in interpretations of, current laws and regulations, including climate change legislation or other environmental mandates, could require us to increase our compliance expenditures, cause us to significantly alter or discontinue offering existing products and services or cause us to develop new products and services. Altering current products and services or developing new products and services to comply with changes in the applicable laws and regulations could require significant research and development investments, increase the cost of providing the products and services and adversely affect the demand for our products and services.


We may not have been, or we may not at all times be, in full compliance with these laws and regulations. In the event a regulatory authority concludes that we are not or have not at all times been in full compliance with these laws or regulations, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned.

Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners of real property or operators of manufacturing facilities for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances or materials at such properties or at properties at which parties have disposed of hazardous substances. Liability for investigative, removal and remedial costs under certain U.S. federal and state laws and certain non-U.S. laws are retroactive, strict and joint and several. In addition to cleanup actions brought by governmental authorities, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances. We have received notification from U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies, including the EPA and similar state environmental agencies, that conditions at a number of current and formerly owned sites where we and others have disposed of hazardous substances require investigation, cleanup and other possible remedial action. These agencies may require that we reimburse the government for its costs incurred at these sites or otherwise pay for the costs of investigation and cleanup of these sites, including by providing compensation for natural resource damage claims from such sites. For more information, see "Business - Environmental Regulation."Item 1. Business – Regulatory Matters."


While we have planned for future capital and operating expenditures to maintain compliance with environmental laws and have accrued for costs related to current remedial efforts, our costs of compliance, or our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances, may exceed our estimates. We may also be subject to additional environmental claims for personal injury or cost recovery actions for remediation of facilities in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.




The capital and credit markets are important to our business.

Instability in U.S. and global capital and credit markets, including market disruptions, limited liquidity and interest rate volatility, or reductions in the credit ratings assigned to us by independent ratings agencies could reduce our access to capital markets or increase the cost of funding our short and long term credit requirements. In particular, if we are unable to access capital and credit markets on terms that are acceptable to us, we may not be able to make certain investments or fully execute our business plans and strategy.

Our suppliers and customers are also dependent upon the capital and credit markets. Limitations on the ability of customers, suppliers or financial counterparties to access credit could lead to insolvencies of key suppliers and customers, limit or prevent customers from obtaining credit to finance purchases of our products and services and cause delays in the delivery of key products from suppliers.


As a global business, we have a relatively complex tax structure, and there is a risk that tax authorities will disagree with our tax positions.


Since we conduct operations worldwide through our subsidiaries, we are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations in the countries in which we operate. Transfer pricing regulations generally require that, for tax purposes, transactions between us and our affiliates be priced on a basis that would be comparable to an arm's length transaction and that contemporaneous documentation be maintained to support the tax allocation. Although uniform transfer pricing standards are emerging in many of the countries in which we operate, there is still a relatively high degree of uncertainty and inherent subjectivity in complying with these rules. To the extent that any tax authority disagrees with our transfer pricing policies, we could become subject to significant tax liabilities and penalties. Our tax returns are subject to review by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Although we believe that we have provided for all tax exposures, the ultimate outcome of a tax review could differ materially from our provisions.


ChangesWe could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities.

Our future effective tax rate and cash tax obligations could be adversely affected by shifts in our effective incomemix of earnings in countries with varying statutory tax raterates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities or changes in tax laws, regulations, interpretations or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. In addition, we are subject to regular review and audit by tax authorities. As a result, we have received, and may in the future receive, assessments in multiple jurisdictions on various tax-related assertions. Any adverse outcome of such a review or audit could have an adversea negative effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the determination of operations.

Weour worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment, and there are subjectmany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made. Furthermore, due to taxes in Ireland, the U.S. and numerous other jurisdictions. Due toshifting economic and political conditions, tax policies, laws, interpretations and rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change.

Our futurechange, which could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. For example, many countries in Europe, as well as a number of other countries and organizations, have recently proposed, recommended or implemented changes to existing tax laws or have enacted new laws that could significantly increase our effective tax rate may be adversely affected by a number of additional factors including:

or cash tax obligations in countries where we do business or require us to change the jurisdictionsmanner in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;we operate our business.
the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities;
changes in the enforcement environment;
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
changes in jurisdictional mix of profits;
changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws and changes in generally accepted accounting principles;
changes in foreign tax rates or agreed upon foreign taxable base; and/or
the repatriation of earnings from outside Ireland for which we have not previously provided for taxes.
There are risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness

We have approximately $1.5 billion of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2017. In addition, we have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility that permits borrowings of up to an additional $500 million. Volatility in the credit markets could adversely impact our ability to obtain favorable terms on financing in the future. A substantial portion of our cash flows from operations is dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and will not be available for other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures, payment of dividends, share repurchase programs and future business opportunities.

Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends, sell assets, seek additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to sell material assets or operations to attempt to meet our debt service and other obligations.

Additionally, a portion of our borrowings at December 31, 2017 include a term loan with a variable rate of interest which exposes us to interest rate risk. We are exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent that we fund our operations with short-term

or variable-rate borrowings. At December 31, 2017, our $1.5 billion of aggregate debt outstanding includes $691 million of floating-rate term loans and $800 million of our fixed-rate senior notes. We have the ability to incur up to $500 million of additional floating-rate debt under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We have entered into interest rate swaps for $250 million of our floating-rate term loans to manage our interest rate risk. A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR would have resulted in incremental 2017 interest expense of approximately $5.6 million. If the LIBOR or other applicable base rates under our senior unsecured credit facilities increase in the future then the interest on floating-rate debt could have a material effect on our interest expense.

Risks Relating to the Spin-off

In connection with the Spin-off, Ingersoll Rand indemnified us for certain liabilities and we indemnified Ingersoll Rand for certain liabilities. If we are required to act on these indemnities to Ingersoll Rand, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted. The Ingersoll Rand indemnity may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which it will be allocated responsibility, and Ingersoll Rand may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement with Ingersoll Rand, Ingersoll Rand agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we agreed to indemnify Ingersoll Rand for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. Such indemnities may be significant and could negatively impact our business, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that could impact the tax-free nature of the Spin-off. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that Ingersoll Rand retained. Further, the indemnity from Ingersoll Rand may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and Ingersoll Rand may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from Ingersoll Rand any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves.

If the distribution or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the spin-off are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we, our shareholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax and/or Ingersoll Rand could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities and, in certain circumstances, we could be required to indemnify Ingersoll Rand for material taxes pursuant to indemnification obligations under the Tax Matters Agreement.

Ingersoll Rand has received an IRS ruling substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution of our ordinary shares, together with certain related transactions, qualify under Sections 355 and 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"), with the result that Ingersoll Rand and Ingersoll Rand’s shareholders will not recognize any taxable income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Spin-off, except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares (the "IRS Ruling"). The IRS Ruling also provided that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the distribution qualify for favorable treatment under the Code. In addition to obtaining the IRS Ruling, Ingersoll Rand received opinions from the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP substantially to the effect that certain requirements, including certain requirements that the IRS did not rule on, necessary to obtain tax-free treatment have been satisfied, such that the distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain other matters relating to the distribution, including certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the distribution, received tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code. The receipt and effectiveness of the IRS Ruling and the opinions were conditions to the distribution that were satisfied or waived by Ingersoll Rand. The IRS Ruling and the opinions rely on certain facts and assumptions and certain representations and undertakings from us and Ingersoll Rand regarding the past and future conduct of our respective businesses and other matters. Notwithstanding the IRS Ruling and the opinions, the IRS could determine on audit that the distribution or the internal transactions should be treated as taxable transactions if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings is not correct or has been violated, or that the distribution or the internal transactions should be taxable for other reasons, including as a result of significant changes in shares or asset ownership after the distribution. A legal opinion represents the tax adviser’s best legal judgment, is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the opinion will be based on then current law, and cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect. If the distribution is determined to be taxable, the distribution could be treated as a taxable dividend or capital gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and our shareholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, we or Ingersoll Rand could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities if it is ultimately determined that certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the distribution are taxable.

In addition, under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, in the event the distribution or the internal transactions were determined to be taxable as a result of actions taken after the distribution by us or Ingersoll Rand, the party responsible for such failure would be responsible for all taxes imposed on us or Ingersoll Rand as a result thereof. If such failure is not the result of actions taken after the distribution by us or Ingersoll Rand, then we would be responsible for any taxes imposed on us or Ingersoll Rand as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant.


If the distribution is determined to be taxable for Irish tax purposes, significant Irish tax liabilities may arise.

Ingersoll Rand has received an opinion of the Irish Revenue regarding the Irish tax consequences of the distribution to the effect that certain reliefs and exemptions for corporate reorganizations apply. In addition to obtaining the opinion from Irish Revenue, Ingersoll Rand received an opinion from the law firm of Arthur Cox confirming the applicability of the relevant exemptions and reliefs to the distribution and that certain internal transactions will not trigger tax costs. These opinions rely on certain facts and assumptions and certain representations and undertakings from us and Ingersoll Rand regarding the past and future conduct of our respective businesses and other matters. Notwithstanding the opinions, Irish Revenue could determine on audit that the distribution or the internal transactions do not qualify for the relevant exemptions or reliefs if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings is not correct or has been violated. A legal opinion represents the tax adviser’s best legal judgment, is not binding on Irish Revenue or the courts and Irish Revenue or the courts may not agree with the legal opinion. In addition, the legal opinion was based on then current law, and cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect. If the distribution ultimately is determined not to fall within certain exemptions or reliefs, the distribution could result in our shareholders having an Irish tax liability as a result of the distribution (if a shareholder is an Irish resident or holds shares in Ingersoll Rand in an Irish branch or agency), or we or Ingersoll Rand could incur Irish tax liabilities.

In addition, under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, in the event the distribution does not qualify for certain reliefs or exemptions, then we would be responsible for any taxes imposed on us or Ingersoll Rand as a result of such determination. Such tax amounts could be significant.


Risks Related to Our Incorporation in Ireland


Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.


The United StatesU.S. currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. As such, there is some uncertainty as to whether the courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers based on U.S. federal or state civil liability laws, including the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws, or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws.

Table of Contents

As an Irish company, we are governed by the Irish Companies Act 2014 of Ireland, as amended, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors and officers of an Irish company generally are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally do not have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may exercise such rights of action on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of our securities may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the United States.U.S.


In addition, Irish law allows shareholders to authorize share capital which then can be issued by a board of directors without shareholder approval. Also, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory preemptive rights to existing shareholders to subscribe for new issuances of shares for cash. However, we have opted outAt our annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders authorized our Board of Directors to issue up to 33% of our issued ordinary shares and further authorized our Board of Directors to issue up to 5% of such shares for cash without first offering them to our existing shareholders. Both of these preemption rights in our Articles of Association as permitted under Irish company law. Irish law provides that this opt-out expiresauthorizations will expire after five yearsa certain period unless renewed by a special resolution of the shareholders. These authorizations must be renewed by theour shareholders, every five years and we cannot guarantee that the renewal of these authorizations will always be approved. If the Directors' authority to issue ordinary shares is not renewed, then we may be limited in our ability to use our shares, for example, as consideration for acquisitions.


Changes in tax laws, regulations or treaties, changes in our status under the tax laws of many jurisdictions or adverse determinations by taxing authorities could increase our tax burden or otherwise affect our financial condition or operating results, as well as subject our shareholders to additional taxes.


The realization of any tax benefit related to our incorporation and tax residence in Ireland could be impacted by changes in tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the tax authorities of many jurisdictions. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been introduced to change the tax laws of various jurisdictions or limit tax treaty benefits that if enacted could materially increase our tax burden and/or our effective tax rate. For instance, recent U.S. legislative proposals could modify or eliminate the tax deductibility of various currently deductible payments, which could materially and adversely affect our effective tax rate and cash tax position. Moreover, other U.S. legislative proposals could have a material adverse impact on us by overriding certain tax treaties and limiting the treaty benefits on certain payments, by our U.S. subsidiaries to our non-U.S. affiliates, which could increase our tax liability. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislation in any jurisdiction.



While we monitor proposals that would materially impact our tax burden and/or our effective tax rate and investigate our options, we could still be subject to increased taxation on a going forward basis no matter what action we undertake if certain legislative proposals are enacted, certain tax treaties are amended and/or our interpretation of applicable tax law is challenged and determined to be incorrect. In particular, any changes and/or differing interpretations of applicable tax law that have the effect of disregarding our incorporation in Ireland, limiting our ability to take advantage of tax treaties between jurisdictions, modifying or eliminating the deductibility of various currently deductible payments or increasing the tax burden of operating or being resident in a particular country, could subject us to increased taxation.


Dividends received by our shareholders may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.


In certain circumstances, we are required to deduct Irish dividend withholding tax (currently at the rate of 20%)25% from dividends paid to our shareholders. In the majority of cases, shareholders residing in the United StatesU.S. will not be subject to Irish withholding tax, and shareholders resident in a number of other countries will not be subject to Irish withholding tax provided that they complete certain Irish dividend withholding tax forms. However, some shareholders may be subject to withholding tax, which could discourage the investment in our stock and adversely impact the price of our shares.


Dividends received by our shareholders couldmay be subject to Irish income tax.


Dividends paid in respect of our shares generally are not subject to Irish income tax where the beneficial owner of these dividends is exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax, unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Allegion.


Our shareholders who receive their dividends subject to Irish dividend withholding tax will generally have no further liability to Irish income tax on the dividends unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Allegion.

Certain provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, among other things, could prevent or delay an acquisition of us, which could decrease the trading price of our ordinary shares.


Our Memorandum and Articles of Association containcontains provisions to deter takeover practices, inadequate takeover bids and unsolicited offers. These provisions include, amongst others:


aA provision of our Articles of Association which generally prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder (being (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of the relevant percentage10% or more of our voting shares or (ii) an affiliate or associate of us that has at any time within the last five years been the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of the relevant percentage10% or more of our voting shares), subject to certain exceptions;
rulesRules regarding how shareholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings;
theThe right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval in certain circumstances, subject to applicable law; and
theThe ability of our Board of Directors to set the number of directors and to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors in certain circumstances.Directors.


We believe these provisions will provide some protection to our shareholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. These provisions are not intended to make us immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our Board of Directors determines is in our best interests and our shareholders' best interests. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.


In addition, several mandatory provisions of Irish law could prevent or delay an acquisition of us. For example, Irish law does not permit shareholders of an Irish public limited company to take action by written consent with less than unanimous consent. We also will be subject to various provisions of Irish law relating to mandatory bids, voluntary bids, requirements to make a cash offer and minimum price requirements, as well as substantial acquisition rules and rules requiring the disclosure of interests in our shares in certain circumstances. Also, Irish companies, including us, may alter their Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association only with the approval of at least 75% of the votes of the company’s shareholders cast in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the company.

The agreements that we entered into with Ingersoll Rand in connection with the spin-off generally require Ingersoll Rand’s consent to any assignment by us of our rights and obligations under the agreements. The consent and termination rights set forth in these agreements might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that shareholders may consider favorable.

Dividend Policy


Our Board of Directors declared dividends of $0.16$0.36 per ordinary share on February 2, 2017,5, 2021, April 5, 2017,8, 2021, September 6, 20171, 2021 and December 6, 2017.10, 2021. On February 7, 2018,4, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.21$0.41 per ordinary share payable March 29, 2018.31, 2022. We paid a total of $60.9$129.0 million in cash for dividends to ordinary shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2017.2021. Future dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant, as well as our ability to pay dividends in compliance with the Irish Companies Act. Under the Irish Companies Act, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves, broadly, means the accumulated realized profits of Allegion plc (ALLE-Ireland) and are unrelated to any GAAP reporting amount (e.g. retained earnings). As of December 31, 2021, we had distributable reserves of $3.7 billion. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of ALLE-Ireland are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of ALLE-Ireland’s called up share capital plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce ALLE-Ireland’s net assets below such aggregate.

Item 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Annual Report.


Overview


Organization


We are a leading global provider of security products and solutions operating in three geographic regions:two segments: Allegion Americas EMEIA, and Asia Pacific.Allegion International. We sell a wide range of security products and solutions for end-users in commercial, institutional and residential marketsfacilities worldwide, including into the education, healthcare, government, hospitality, commercial office and single and multi-family residential markets. Our corporateleading brands include Schlage, Von Duprin,CISA, Interflex, LCN, CISA,Schlage, SimonsVoss and Interflex.Von Duprin.


Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic and Industry Trends and Economic EventsOutlook


Current market conditions have improved over the past few years,The COVID-19 pandemic and we believe the security products industry will also benefit from continued growth in institutional, commercial, and residential end-markets. We also expect the security products industry will benefit from favorable long-term demographic trends such as continued urbanization of the global population, increased concerns about safety and security and technology-driven innovation.

In recent years, growth in electronic security products and solutions continuesuneven economic recovery continue to outperform the industry, and we expect growthcreate volatility in the global economy and on our business. Throughout 2021, we experienced strong and accelerating demand for our products and services in most of the markets we serve. However, especially in the second half of the year, we also experienced an acceleration of several macroeconomic challenges that have negatively impacted our ability to meet this robust demand, such as supply chain disruptions and delays; shortages in materials, including reductions in allocations of electronic product categories we servecomponents and other parts from key suppliers; labor shortages and elevated levels of employee absenteeism due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic; and increased commodity, material component, packaging, freight and labor inflation. These challenges have also created both operational and logistical inefficiencies, which have led to periodic production interruptions and an increased level of inventory, which have negatively impacted our productivity, margin performance, working capital and cash flows. While these challenges are impacting all our global businesses, they had a more pronounced impact on our Allegion Americas operating segment in 2021.

We currently anticipate these challenges to continue in 2022 and are rapidly adapting to outperformnavigate them, expecting to be well-positioned to convert demand to revenue as conditions normalize. We remain focused on providing exceptional service to our customers; implementing measures to mitigate operational and distribution inefficiencies and reduce our record high level of backlogs, such as aligning resources to re-engineer product designs and configurations to accept alternate electronic components and developing alternate sources of supply; implementing pricing initiatives to address rising production, material, freight and labor costs; and investing in business initiatives to drive future growth. We will continue to explore various options to control costs and enhance financial performance, while minimizing disruption to customers and the security products industry as a whole as end-users adopt newer technologies in their facilities. Our recent acquisitions have been made to capitalizeoverall business; however, the full impacts of the pandemic and the on-going macroeconomic challenges on this trend.our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows remain uncertain.


The economic conditions discussedpandemic and related macroeconomic challenges noted above will likely continue to impact us in numerous and a numberevolving ways that we may not be able to accurately predict. The full impact of the pandemic will continue to depend on future developments such as the continued spread and duration of the pandemic, the emergence of future variant strains of the COVID-19 virus which may be more contagious or severe, the availability and distribution of effective medical treatments and vaccines, vaccination rates, as well as any government-imposed restrictions or mandates. Further, any new or strengthened government-imposed restrictions or mandates on the conduct of business and travel could adversely impact our ability to carry out business as usual in certain markets.

The challenges and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as other challenges and uncertainties that could affect our businessbusinesses are described further under "Risk Factors.""Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors".

Financing activities


WeOn November 18, 2021, we entered into a new $1.2 billion$750.0 million unsecured credit agreement, (the "Credit Agreement"), consisting of a $700.0the $250.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”)2021 Term Facility and athe $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).2021 Revolving Facility. The initial proceeds of $700.0$250.0 million from the 2021 Term Facility along with initial borrowings of $165.0 million under the Revolving Facility, were primarily used primarily to repay in full our previously outstanding secured credit facility, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2015.unsecured Term Facility. All obligations under the Second Amended and Restatedpreviously outstanding Credit Agreement were satisfied, all commitments thereunder were terminated and all guarantees and security interests that had been granted in connection therewith were released.

QMI Divestiture

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the net assets of our Qatar Metal Industries ("QMI") business, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and accordingly, were written down to fair value, resulting in a Loss on assets held for sale of $37.9 million.

On October 2, 2017,February 28, 2021, we issued $400.0 millioncompleted our divestiture of 3.200% Senior NotesQMI. The impacts of this divestiture on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, are reflected in the discussions below.

2020 Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

As a result of the global economic disruption and uncertainty due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”)to the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed interim impairment tests on the goodwill balances of our former EMEA and $400.0 million of 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes” and, together with the 3.200% Senior Notes, the “Notes”). On October 3, 2017 we used the net proceeds from the Notes to redeem in full the $300.0 million Senior Notes due 2021 and the $300.0 million Senior Notes due 2023,Asia Pacific reporting units, as well as on certain indefinite-lived trade name assets in these two regions, during the first quarter of 2020. The results of these interim impairment tests indicated that the estimated fair value of our former Asia Pacific reporting unit and three indefinite-lived trade names were impaired. Consequently, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $96.3 million were recorded during the first quarter of 2020. Further intangible asset impairment charges of $5.4 million were recorded in 2020 in our former Asia Pacific segment, relating to repaysupply chain disruptions that reduced a brand's expected future cash flows and declines in fullvolumes and pricing pressure for a separate subsidiary in the $165.0region.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the years presented and form the basis used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the business. For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, see “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021.
Net Revenues
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 20172021, increased by 7.6%5.4%, or $170.2$147.5 million,, compared to the same period in 20162020, due to the following:

The increase in netNet revenues was primarilyprincipally driven by higher volumes, and improved pricing in all segments, incremental revenue fromand the acquisitions discussed above, and favorableimpact of foreign currency exchange rate movements relative tomovements. These increases were slightly offset by the US Dollar.

The increase in sales volumes for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by 8.2%, or $169.9 million, compared towas principally realized during the same periodsecond quarter, given the muted demand and temporary plant shut-downs we experienced in 2015the second quarter of 2020 due to the following:COVID-19 pandemic. However, in addition to the comparative impact of the rebound in demand in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the supply chain disruptions and delays and shortages in materials, components and labor discussed above resulted in lower volumes during the second half of 2021 within the Allegion Americas segment. While these challenges are expected to continue into 2022, given the current elevated demand we are experiencing, we expect volume growth to resume as conditions improve.

Inflation in excess of pricing and productivity reflects the impacts of increased commodity, material component, packaging, freight and labor inflation, as well as inefficiencies caused by the global supply chain challenges and shortages of materials, components and labor, as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by the year-over-year decrease in restructuring and acquisition expenses, favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements a decreaseand the beneficial impact of our QMI divestiture.

These increases were partially offset by favorable volume leverage, due to increased volume and lowera year-over-year decrease in restructuring and acquisition costs.expenses and the beneficial impact of our QMI divestiture on current year operations. Inflation in excess of productivity reflects increases to variable compensation and a return to a more normalized level of other discretionary business spending that was reduced or delayed in the prior year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increased investment spending similarly reflects a return to a full-year focus of investing in business initiatives to drive future growth and realize our vision of seamless access with a focus on software and connected products. The increase also reflects that certain of these investments were temporarily frozen or delayed in 2020 due to the economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Volume leverage represents the contribution margin related to changes in sales volume, excluding the impact of price, productivity, mix and inflation. Expenses related to increased head count for strategic initiatives, new facilities or significant spending for strategic initiatives or new product and channel development, are captured in Investment spending in the table above.

The increase in Operating income and operating margin both increasedwas primarily due to the prior year goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and the loss on assets held for sale related to our QMI business, which did not recur in the current year. Also contributing to the increase in Operating income were favorable volume/product mix, in all of our segments, pricing improvementslower year-over-year restructuring and productivity in excess of inflation,acquisition expenses, favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and lower environmental remediation charges in the beneficial impact of our QMI divestiture on current year due to a charge in the prior year for a change in approach for environmental remediation related to two sites in the Americas.operations. These increases were partially offset by inflation in excess of pricing and productivity and increased investment spending. As discussed above, inflation in excess of pricing and productivity reflects the impacts of increased commodity, material component, packaging, freight and labor inflation; inefficiencies caused by the global supply chain challenges; and shortages of materials, components and labor, as well as increases in variable compensation and other discretionary business spending to a more normalized level in the current year. Similarly, the increased investment spending reflects a return to a full-year focus of investing in business initiatives to drive future growth and realize our vision of seamless access with a focus on software and connected products. The increase also reflects that certain of these investments were temporarily frozen or delayed in 2020 due to the economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increase in Operating margin was also primarily due to the prior year goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and the impact of acquisitions and higherloss on assets held for sale related to our QMI business, which did not recur in the current year. Also contributing to the increase in Operating margin were lower year-over-year restructuring and acquisition costs.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $66.9 million and operating margin increased to 19.0% from 17.3% for the same period in 2015 due to the following:

Net revenues
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 20172021, increased by 7.4%2.8%, or $121.8$55.5 million,, compared to the same period in 20162020, due to the following:

Pricing2.01.9 %
Volume3.80.5 %
Acquisitions1.4%
Currency exchange rates0.20.4 %
Total7.42.8 %

The increase in Net revenues was due toprincipally driven by higher volumes, improved pricing and the impact of an acquisition in January 2017, and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. The increase in sales volumes for the year was principally realized during the second quarter, given the muted demand and temporary plant shut-downs we experienced in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the supply chain disruptions and delays and shortages in materials, components and labor discussed above have resulted in lower volumes during the second half of 2021. While these challenges are expected to continue into 2022, given the current elevated demand we are experiencing, we expect volume growth to resume as conditions improve.
Net revenues from non-residential products for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased high single digitswere flat compared to the same period in the prior year dueyear. While we continue to market growth,see strong demand for our non-residential products, the persistent and widespread supply chain challenges and shortages in materials, components (including electronic components) and labor discussed above have led to challenges in converting this elevated demand into Net revenues. Further, the combination of these factors has also culminated in our highest non-residential product launches and channel initiatives. backlog to date as a company as of December 31, 2021.
Net revenues from residential products for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased mid-singleby a low double digits percent compared to the same periodprior year, driven significantly by the muted demand and temporary plant shut-downs we experienced in the prior year primarilysecond quarter of 2020 due to domesticthe COVID-19 pandemic. While we continue to see strong demand for our residential products due to a sustained level of DIY home projects and a robust residential housing construction market, growth.we also experienced supply chain challenges and electronic component shortages in the second half of 2021, which we expect to continue through 2022.

Additionally, growth in electronic security products and solutions has become an increased metric monitored by management and a focus of our investors. Electronic products encompass both residential and non-residential products, and include all electrified product categories including, but not limited to, electronic and electrified locks, access controls and electrified exit devices. Net revenues from the sale of electronic products decreased by a low single digits percent compared to 2020. As previously disclosed, a surge in global demand for electronic components has led to supply chain challenges and component shortages. This has led to a reduction in the allocations of electronic components we receive from key suppliers, periodic production interruptions and delays in our ability to meet the elevated level of demand for our electronic products in the second half of 2021. While considered temporary, we expect these challenges around the availability of electronic components to continue through 2022. As a result, we are actively implementing measures to mitigate the operational and distribution inefficiencies these component shortages and other challenges are creating, such as re-engineering product designs and configurations and developing alternate sources of component supply.

Additionally, while our Allegion International segment did not experience the supply chain disruptions and delays and other operational and logistical challenges to the same extent as our Allegion Americas segment in 2021, these challenges have increased during the fourth quarter of 2021, and we currently expect them to continue into 2022.


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 years ended December 31. For additional details, please see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investing activities

: Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 20172021, decreased $13.8$25.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is2020, primarily due to $15.6 million incash proceeds from the salesales of anour equity method investment during 2017 that did not occur in the prior yearNuki Home Solutions GmbH and other investments, as well as a $10.6 million decrease ofin cash payments related topaid for acquisitions. These changes were partially offset by $14.1 million of cash received from the sale of marketable securities in 2016 that did not recur in the current year.


Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased $469.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2016, cash used for acquisitions decreased $479.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. This was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $7.3 million compared to 2015.

Financing activities

: Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased $45.12021, increased $207.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease2020, primarily due to an increase of $204.0 million in cash used in financing activities is due to net proceeds from debt issuances over debt repayments of $10.1 million in 2017 versus net debt repayments of $64.4 million during 2016. Current year debt financing activity includes the redemption of the 2021 and 2023 Senior Notes for a total of $600.0 million and the settlement of the previously outstanding Term Loan A Facility of $856.3 million, offset by the issuance of the 3.200% and 3.550% Senior Notes in an aggregate amount of $800.0 million and a new term loan facility maturing on September 12, 2022 (the "Term Facility") in the amount of $700.0 million. Additionally, during the year endedrepurchase shares.

Capitalization

At December 31, 2017, we repurchased $60.0 million of common shares, compared to $85.1 million during 2016. We also made dividend payments to ordinary shareholders of $60.9 million during the current year, compared to $46.0 million in 2016.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $391.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Net repayments of debt totaled $64.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily associated with required amortization payments from our previously outstanding Term Loan A Facility and repayments of other borrowings. Proceeds from long-term debt were $300.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Cash used inand other financing activities increased $48.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher dividend payments and increased repurchases of our ordinary shares partially offset by lower debt issuance costs, lower proceeds from shares issued under incentive plans and a reduction in dividends paid to noncontrolling interests.

As of December 31, 2017,In November 2021, we haveentered into a new unsecured credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”), which refinanced in full our previously outstanding unsecured Credit Facilities. The 2021 Credit Agreement in place that provides for up to $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consistingconsists of a $700.0$250.0 million term loan facility (the “Term“2021 Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving“2021 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2021 Term Facility, the “Credit“2021 Credit Facilities”). The 2021 Credit Facilities mature on September 12, 2022.November 18, 2026. The

initial proceeds from the 2021 Term Facility amortizesof $250.0 million were used primarily to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under our previously outstanding unsecured Term Facility. All obligations under the previously outstanding Credit Agreement were
39

satisfied, all commitments thereunder were terminated, and all guarantees that had been granted in connection therewith were released.

The 2021 Term Facility will amortize in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting DecemberMarch 31, 20172022 through DecemberMarch 31, 2020,2025, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 throughstarting June 30, 2022,2025 through September 30, 2026, with the balance due on September 12, 2022. November 18, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the 2021 Term Facility may be voluntarily prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs. Amounts borrowed under the 2021 Term Facility that are repaid may not be reborrowed.

The 2021 Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. At December 31, 2017,2021, there were no borrowings outstanding on the 2021 Revolving Facility and we had $17.4$8.7 million of letters of credit outstanding. Commitments under the 2021 Revolving Facility may be reduced at any time without premium or penalty, and amounts repaid may be reborrowed. Certain fees are owed with respect to the 2021 Revolving Facility, including an unused commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the 2021 Revolving Facility of between 0.090% and 0.200% per year, depending on our credit rating, as well as certain other fees.


Outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities accrue interest at our option of (i) a LIBORBloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.125%0.875% to 1.500%1.375% 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 ofAt December 31, 2021, the outstanding borrowings (see Note 10)under the 2021 Term Facility accrue interest at BSBY plus a margin of 1.125%, resulting in an interest rate of 1.271%. The 2021 Credit Facilities also contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the 2021 Credit Facilities require us to comply with a maximum leverage ratio as defined within the agreement. As of December 31, 2021, our leverage ratio of approximately 1.8 was significantly below the covenant requirement and we do not anticipate any potential covenant concerns for at least the next 12 months.


As of December 31, 2017,2021, we also have $400.0 million outstanding of 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200%"3.200% Senior Notes”Notes") and, $400.0 million outstanding of 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550%"3.550% Senior Notes”Notes") and together with the 3.200%$400.0 million outstanding of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "3.500% Senior Notes", and all three senior notes collectively, the “Notes”"Senior Notes"), both of which were issued on October 2, 2017.. The Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024, October 1, 2027, and October 1, 2027,2029, respectively.


Historically, the majority of our earnings were considered to be permanently reinvested in jurisdictions where we have made, and intend to continue to make, substantial investments to support the ongoing development and growth of our global operations. As a result of the Tax Reform Act transition tax,At December 31, 2021, we are currently analyzinganalyzed our global working capital requirements and the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if certain non-U.S. subsidiaries made distributions which include local country withholding tax and potential U.S. state taxation. We are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the Tax Reform Act and have not recorded any withholding or state tax liabilities or any deferred taxes attributableconcluded that no material changes to our investment in our non-U.S. subsidiaries.  historic permanent reinvestment assertions are required.


AtScheduled principal repayments on indebtedness as of December 31, 2017,2021 can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Expected principal and interest payments related to our long-term indebtedness in 2022 amount to $12.6 million and $45.0 million, respectively, given our current level of indebtedness and effective interest rates as of December 31, 2021.

Liquidity Outlook

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities is used to invest in new product development and fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our ability to generate cash from our operating activities, our unused availability under our 2021 Revolving Facility and our access to the capital and credit markets enable us to fund these capital needs, as well as execute our long-term growth strategies and return value to our shareholders. As of December 31, 2021, we hadmaintain cash and cash equivalents of $466.2 million. Approximately 34%$397.9 million and have unused availability of $491.3 million under our 2021 Revolving Facility. Further, our business operates with strong operating cash flows, low leverage and low capital intensity, providing financial flexibility, including sufficient access to credit markets.

Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, restructuring initiatives, capital spending, dividend payments and principal and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including potential acquisitions, repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations and repurchases of our ordinary shares. Based upon our operations, existing cash balances and availability under our 2021 Credit Facilities, we expect cash equivalents were located outsideflows from operations to be sufficient to maintain a sound financial position and liquidity and to meet our financing needs for at least the U.S.next 12 months. Further, we do not anticipate any covenant compliance challenges with any of our outstanding indebtedness for at least the next 12 months. We also believe the availability under our 2021 Credit Facilities and access to credit and capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.

PensionContractual Obligations and Other Commitments
In addition to the scheduled principal and interest payments discussed above, our material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:
Purchase Commitments – We occasionally enter into short-term, firm purchase commitments to mitigate pricing risk related to certain of our commodity, parts and component purchases, which represent commitments under enforceable and legally binding agreements. Such purchase commitments are made in the normal course of business and are not anticipated to materially impact our liquidity or financial position over the next 12 months.
Leases – We have numerous real estate and equipment leasing arrangements for which we are a lessee. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information as to the short and long-term lease liabilities included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as future minimum lease payments for 2022 and future years.
Defined Benefit Plans

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

We monitorand the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. In January 2017, we made a discretionary $50.0 million contributionregularly in addition to the U.S. qualifiedinvestment manager performance. None of our defined benefit pension plan. plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to volatility in the markets.

At December 31, 2017, the funded status of our qualified pension plan for U.S. employees increased to 93.3% from 73.6% at December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of this discretionary contribution. The funded status for our non-U.S. pension plans increased to 100.5% at December 31, 2017 from 92.9% at December 31, 2016. Funded status for all of our pension plans at December 31, 2017 increased to 95.5% from 83.3% at December 31, 2016. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pensions

At December 31, 2017,2021, we had net pension liabilitiesassets of $32.2$22.9 million, which consist of plan assets of $681.6$775.9 million and benefit obligations of $713.8$753.0 million. It is our objective to contribute to theour pension plans in order to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. At December 31, 2021, the funded status of our U.S. pension plans increased to 97.2% from 92.1% at December 31, 2020. The funded status for our non-U.S. pension plans increased to 107.7% at December 31, 2021 from 101.8% at December 31, 2020.

Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Income Taxes At December 31, 2017, we had postretirement benefit obligations of $9.3 million. We fund postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis as medical costs are incurred by covered retiree populations. Benefit payments, which are net of expected plan participant contributions and Medicare Part D subsidy, are expected to be approximately $0.9 million in 2018. Because the timing and amounts of long-term funding requirements for postretirement obligations are uncertain, they have been excluded from the preceding table. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Income Taxes

At December 31, 2017,2021, we have total unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions of $29.0$41.5 million and $4.9$7.5 million of related accrued interest and penalties, net of tax. The liability has been excluded from the preceding table astax, although we are unable to reasonably estimate the amount and period intiming over which these liabilities might be paid. See Note 1718 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding matters relating to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits and tax authority disputes.

Contingent Liabilities

We are involved in various litigations,litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental, asbestos-related and product liability matters. We believe that these liabilities are subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and will likely be resolved over an extended period of time. Because the timing and amounts of potential future cash flows are uncertain, they have been excluded from the preceding table. See Note 1921 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.


Guarantor Financial Information

Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co") is the issuer of the 3.200% Senior Notes and 3.550% Senior Notes and is the guarantor of the 3.500% Senior Notes. Allegion plc (the “Parent”) is the issuer of the 3.500% Senior Notes and is the guarantor of the 3.200% Senior Notes and 3.550% Senior Notes. Allegion US Hold Co is directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent and each of the guarantees of Allegion US Hold Co and the Parent is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The 3.200% Senior Notes and the 3.550% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee of the 3.200% Senior Notes and the 3.550% Senior Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of the Parent and ranks equally with all of Allegion plc’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 3.500% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Parent, are guaranteed by Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion plc’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

Each guarantee is effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of the Guarantor, none of which guarantee the notes. The obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and, therefore,
41

are limited to the amount that the Guarantor could guarantee without such Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance; this limitation, however, may not be effective to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance. If the Guarantee was rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, the Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. In such an event, the notes would be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Guarantor.

For further details, terms and conditions of the Senior Notes refer to the Company’s Form 8-K filed October 2, 2017 and Form 8-K filed September 27, 2019.

The following tables present the summarized financial information specified in Rule 1-02(bb)(1) of Regulation S-X for each issuer and guarantor. The summarized financial information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenuerevenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known.
42

The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical:
Allowance for doubtful accounts Goodwill We have provided an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, which represents our best estimate of probable loss inherent in our accounts receivable portfolio. This estimateGoodwill is based upon our policy, derived from our knowledge of our end markets, customer base and products.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets – We have significant goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on our balance sheet related to acquisitions. Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually during the fourth quarter for impairment or when there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of an asseta reporting unit is more likely than not less than theits carrying amount of the asset.
amount. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and starts with a comparison of the carrying amount of thea reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of thea reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill.

As quoted market prices are not available for our reporting units, the calculation of their estimated fair valuevalues is based on two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues (market approach), with each method being weighted in the calculation. The income approach relies on the Company’sour estimates of revenue growth rates, margin assumptions and discount rates to estimate future cash flows and explicitly addresses factors such as timing, growth and margins, with due consideration given to forecasting risk. These assumptions are subject to varying degrees of judgment and complexity. Estimates of future revenue growth rates and margin assumptions represent our best estimates of future cash flows given our expectations of market growth for the security products industry in the specific markets in which we operate, as well as factors such as our market positioning, brand strength, pricing and marketing efforts and other growth and productivity opportunities and initiatives. Discount rate assumptions represent our best estimates of market participant adjusted weighted-average costs of capital. Although these assumptions represent our best estimates as of the assessment date, certain factors could potentially create variances in these estimates, including but not limited to:

Decreases in estimated market sizes or market growth rates due to greater than expected declines in volumes, pricing pressures or disruptive technology;
Declines in our market share and penetration assumptions due to increased competition or an inability to develop or launch new products;
The impacts of market volatility, including but not limited to, impacts of global pandemics, greater than expected inflation, supply chain disruption and delays, declines in pricing, reductions in volumes or fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
The level of success of on-going and future research and development efforts, including those related to acquisitions, and increases in the research and development costs necessary to obtain regulatory approvals and launch new products; and
Volatility in market interest rates that could impact the selection of an appropriate discount rate.

The market approach requires determining an appropriate peer group, which is utilized to derive estimated fair values of our reporting units based on selected market multiples. The market approach reflects the market’s expectations for future growth and risk, with adjustments to account for differences between the guideline publicly-tradedselected peer group companies and the subject reporting units.
The estimated fair values for each While market multiples are based on observable, arm’s-length evidence of value, these assumptions are still subject to inherent uncertainty, as the peer-group companies may differ in significant ways from one or more of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values by more than 15% for the 2017 goodwill impairment test. Additionally, a 1% increase in the discount rate usedterms of size, growth or a 1% decreasebusiness description characteristics.
All critical accounting estimates and assumptions utilized in the terminal growth rate would not result in the carrying value of any reporting unit exceeding its estimated fair value.
Assessingdetermining the fair valuevalues of our reporting units includes, among other things, making key assumptions for estimating future cash flows and appropriate market multiples. These assumptions are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity. WeWhile we make every effort to estimate future cash flowsfair value as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is developed. However,assessment date, changes in assumptions and estimates may affect the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and could result in impairment charges in future periods. Factors
Indefinite-lived intangible assets – Similar to goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually during the fourth quarter for impairment or when there is a significant change in events or circumstances that haveindicate the potential to create variances in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit include but areasset is more likely than not limited to the following:
Decreases in estimated market sizes or market growth rates due to greater-than-expected declines in volumes, pricing pressures or disruptive technology;
Declines in our market share and penetration assumptions due to increased competition or an inability to develop or launch new products;
The impactsless than its carrying amount. Recoverability of the market volatility, including greater-than-expected declines in pricing, reductions in volumes, or fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
The level of success of on-going and future research and development efforts, including those related to recent acquisitions, and increases in the research and development costs necessary to obtain regulatory approvals and launch new products;
Increase in the price or decrease in the availability of key commodities and the impact of higher energy prices; and
Increases in our market-participant risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital.
Other Indefinite-lived intangible assets - We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing in 2017 and determined our indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. Recoverability of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is determined on a relief from royalty methodology, (income approach), which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate discount rate, to license the use of an asset rather than owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e. royalty relief) indicates the estimated fair value of the asset. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.
A significant increasechange in any or a combination of the discount rate, decrease in the long-term growth rate, decrease in the royalty rate or substantial reductions inassumptions used to estimate fair value of our end markets and volume assumptionsindefinite-lived intangible assets could have a negative impact on the estimated fair values of any of our trade names. The estimates of fair value are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporates management assumptions about expected future cash flows.values.
Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles – Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows can be generated. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset could be recognized whenever anticipated future undiscounted cash flows from an asset are less than its carrying value. The impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined by an estimate of discounted cash flows. We believe that our use of estimates and assumptions are reasonable and comply with generally accepted accounting principles. Changes in business conditions could potentially require future adjustments to these valuations.
Loss contingencies – Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental and asbestos matters and product liability, product warranty, worker’s compensation and other claims. We have recorded reserves in the consolidated financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience

data depending on the nature of the reserve, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, we believe our estimated reserves are reasonable and do not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows for any year.
Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) the price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. Delivery generally occurs when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Both the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement and fixed or determinable price criteria are deemed to be satisfied upon receipt of an executed and legally binding sales agreement or contract that clearly defines the terms and conditions of the transaction including the respective obligations of the parties. If the defined terms and conditions allow variability in all or a component of the price, revenue is not recognized until such time that the price becomes fixed or determinable. At the point of sale, we validate that existence of an enforceable claim that requires payment within a reasonable amount of time and assesses the collectability of that claim. If collectability is not deemed to be reasonably assured, then revenue recognition is deferred until such time that collectability becomes probable or cash is received. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the customer has taken title and assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Service and installation revenue are recognized when earned. In some instances, customer acceptance provisions are included in sales arrangements to give the buyer the ability to ensure the delivered product or service meets the criteria established in the order. In these instances, revenue recognition is deferred until the acceptance terms specified in the arrangement are fulfilled through customer acceptance or a demonstration that established criteria have been satisfied. If uncertainty exists about customer acceptance, revenue is not recognized until acceptance has occurred.
We offer various sales incentive programs to our customers, dealers, and distributors. Sales incentive programs do not preclude revenue recognition, but do require an accrual for our best estimate of expected activity. Examples of the sales incentives that are accrued for as a contra receivable and sales deduction at the point of sale include, but are not limited to, discounts (i.e. net 30 type), coupons, and rebates where the customer does not have to provide any additional requirements to receive the discount. Sales returns and customer disputes involving a question of quantity or price are also accounted for as a reduction in revenue and a contra receivable. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had a customer claim accrual (contra receivable) of $32.5 million and $29.0 million, respectively. All other incentives or incentive programs where the customer is required to reach a certain sales level, remain a customer for a certain period, provide a rebate form or is subject to additional requirements are accounted for as a reduction of revenue and establishment of a liability. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had a sales incentive accrual of $31.8 million and $29.6 million, respectively. Each of these accruals represents our best estimate we expect to pay related to previously sold units based on historical claim experience. These estimates are reviewed regularly for accuracy. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Income taxes – We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and non-U.S. tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is
43

considered in our judgment to be more likely than not. We regularly review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets considering our historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, we record a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.benefits. We establish valuation allowances against the realizability of any deferred tax assets, based on our consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers the nature, frequency and amount of recent losses, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by us. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by us and can raise issues regarding our filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which we operate. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenuetax authority with respect to that return. We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of these matters. Wematters and will adjust our estimateestimates if significant events so dictate. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from our original or adjusted estimates, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes in the period that the matter is finally resolved.
The Tax Reform Act constitutes a major change to the U.S. tax system. The estimated impact of the Tax Reform Act is based on current interpretations and related assumptions. As discussed further in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial

Statements, where applicable, we included provisional estimates in our consolidated financial statements for impacts of the new Tax Reform Act. The actual impact to us may be materially different from current estimates based on regulatory developments and our further analysis of the impacts of the Tax Reform Act. In future periods, our effective tax rate could be subject to additional uncertainty as a result of regulatory developments.
EmployeeDefined benefit plans – We provide a range ofseveral U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan benefits to eligible employees and retirees, including pensions, postretirementretirees. Our 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 postemployment benefits.years of service. Determining the costcosts associated with such benefitsplans is dependent on various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, expected returnreturns on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality turnover rates and healthcare cost trendturnover rates. Actuarial valuations are performed to determine expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and when they do, are generally accumulatedrecorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized into earnings over future periods.
We review our actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, ifas appropriate. The discount rate the rate of compensation increase and the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of each measurement date. Discount rates for all plans are established using hypothetical yield curves based on the yields of corporate bonds rated AA quality. Spot rates are developed from the yield curve and used to discount future benefit payments. The rate of compensation increase is dependent on expected future compensation levels. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and the target asset allocation. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of each measurement date.
We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording our defined benefit obligations under our plans are reasonable based on input from our actuaries, outside investment advisors and information as to assumptions used by plan sponsors.
Changes in any of the assumptions can have an impact on the net periodic pension cost or postretirement benefit cost. Estimated sensitivities to the expected 2017 net periodic pension cost of aAn estimated 0.25% rate decline in the two basic assumptions are as follows: the decline in the discount rate would increase expensehave increased net periodic pension benefit cost by approximately $0.8$1.2 million and thein 2021, while a 0.25% rate decline in the estimated return on assets would increase expensehave increased net periodic pension benefit cost by approximately $0.7$1.9 million. A 1.0% increase in the healthcare cost trend rate would have no impact on expense as we have capped the annual maximum amount we will pay for retiree healthcare costs, therefore any additional costs would be assumed by the retiree.

Business combinations – The fair value of the consideration paid in a business combination is allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill. Acquired intangible assets primarily include indefinite-lived trade names, customer relationships and completed technologies. The accounting for acquisitionsbusiness combinations involves a considerable amount of judgment and estimate,estimation, including the fair value of acquired intangible assets involving projections of future revenues and cash flows that are either discounted at an estimated discount rate or measured at an estimated royalty rate; fair value of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including potential contingencies; and the useful lives of the acquired assets. The assumptions used are determined atAs a result, in the timecase of significant acquisitions, we normally obtain the acquisitionassistance of a third-party valuation specialist in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities. An income approach or market approach (or both) is utilized in accordance with accepted valuation models. Projections aremodels to determine fair value. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of acquired assets include projections developed using historical information and internal forecasts, available industry and market data, and estimates of long-term growth rates.rates, profitability, customer attrition and royalty rates, which are estimated at the time of acquisition, considering the perspective of marketplace participants. While we believe expectations and assumptions utilized for historical business combinations have been reasonable, they are inherently uncertain, and unanticipated market or macroeconomic events and circumstances occasionally do occur, and may occur in the future, which could affect the
44

accuracy and validity of such assumptions. The impact of prior or future acquisitionsbusiness combinations on our financial condition or results of operations may also be materially impacted by the change in or initial selection of assumptions and estimates.estimates, in addition to events and circumstances subsequent to the acquisition that are not reasonably anticipated when finalizing our purchase accounting estimates and assumptions.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements included in Item 158herein for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.



Item 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSUREDISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices which could impact our results of operations and financial condition.


Foreign Currency Exposures


We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell products in various international markets. As a result, we are exposed to movements in exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies throughout the world. We actively manage material currency exposures that are associated with purchases and sales and other assets and liabilities at the legal entity level,level; however, we do not hedge currency translation risk. We attempt to hedge exposures that cannot be naturally offset to an insignificant amount with foreign currency derivatives. Derivative instruments utilized by us in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk of counter party non-performance, derivative instrument agreements are made only through major financial institutions with significant experience in such derivative instruments.


We evaluate our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on our foreign currency derivatives using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential loss in fair value based on a percentage change in exchange rates. Based on the firmly committed currency derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2017,2021, a hypothetical change in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% adverse change in exchange rates would result in an additional unrealized loss of approximately $7.4$9.4 million. This amount, when realized, would be partially offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying transactions.


Commodity Price Exposures


We are exposed to volatility in the prices of commodities used in some of our products and we use fixed price contracts to manage this exposure. We do not have committed commodity derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2017.2021.

Item 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2017,2021, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information has been accumulated and communicated to the Company's management including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
46

Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.2021.


The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report herein.

(c)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 20172021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors and Shareholders of Allegion plc:Public Limited Company


Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We have audited the accompanying consolidatedbalance sheets of Allegion plcand its subsidiaries(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 2021and 2016,2020,and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2021, including the related notes and financial statement schedulelisted in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidatedfinancial statements”).We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December31, 2017,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


In our opinion, the consolidatedfinancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December31,2017 2021and 20162020, and the results of theiritsoperations and theiritscash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December31,2017 2021in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013)issued by the COSO.


Basis for Opinions


The Company's management is responsible for these consolidatedfinancial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidatedfinancial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.


Our audits of the consolidatedfinancial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidatedfinancial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.


Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to theconsolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidatedfinancial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment - Allegion International Reporting Unit

As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $803.8 million as of December 31, 2021, and the goodwill associated with the Allegion International reporting unit was $302.6 million. As disclosed by management, goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. For the annual impairment analysis, the estimated fair value of the Allegion International reporting unit was based on two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market multiple of earnings (market approach), with each method being weighted in the calculation. The income approach relies on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates, margin assumptions, and discount rates. The market approach requires the determination of an appropriate peer group, which is utilized to derive estimated fair values based on selected market multiples.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Allegion International reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, peer group determination, and selected market multiples; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the valuation of the Allegion International reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Allegion International reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income and market approaches; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the approaches; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth rates and discount rates in the income approach, and the peer group determination and selected market multiples in the market approach. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to revenue growth rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting unit, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Evaluating the Company’s peer group determination included assessing the appropriateness of the identified peer companies. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of management’s income and market approaches, and the discount rates, peer group determination, and selected market multiples assumptions.

Allegion creates peace of mind by pioneering safety and security.security with a vision of seamless access and a safer world. The Company offers an extensive and versatile portfolio of mechanicalsecurity and electronic securityaccess control products and solutions across a range of market-leading brands including CISA®, Interflex®, LCN®, Schlage®, SimonsVoss® and Von Duprin®.

Basis of presentation: The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


AThe following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements follows:Statements:


Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-ownedcontrolled subsidiaries of the Company. A noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a majority-ownedcontrolled subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent.Company. The Company includes noncontrolling interestinterests as a component of Total equity in the Consolidated Balance SheetSheets and the Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from Net earnings used to arrive at Net earnings attributable to Allegion plc in the Consolidated StatementStatements of Comprehensive Income.


Partially-owned equityEquity method affiliates generally represent 20-50% ownership interests in investments and where we demonstrateunconsolidated entities over which the Company demonstrates significant influence in investments, but dodoes not have a controlling financial interest. Partially-owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. The Company is also required to consolidate variable interest entities in which it bears a majority of the risk to the entities’entity’s potential losses or stands to gain from a majority of the entities’entity’s expected returns. Transactions between the Company and Ingersoll Rand and its affiliates are herein referred to as "related party" or "affiliated" transactions. The results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations.


Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Some of the more significant estimates include accounting for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, purchase price allocations of acquired businesses, valuation of assets and liabilities including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, pensionassets and liabilities related to defined benefit plans, postretirement benefits other than pensions, taxes, lease related assets and liabilities, share-based compensation, environmental costs, product liability and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated StatementStatements of Comprehensive Income in the period that they are determined.


Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’sa subsidiary’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar have beenare recorded in the Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet withinto Accumulated other comprehensive loss.


Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period they are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, which represents the best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses inherent in the Company’s accounts and notes receivable portfolios. The Company's estimates are influenced by a continuing credit evaluation of customers' financial condition, trade accounts and notes receivable aging and historical loss experience, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company has reserved $5.4 million and $6.2 million for doubtful accounts and notes receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:  The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve, which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio. Changes in the financial condition of customers or other unanticipated events, which may affect their ability to make payments, could result in charges for additional allowances exceeding the Company's estimates. The Company's estimates are influenced by the following considerations: a continuing credit evaluation of our customers’ financial condition; trade accounts receivable aging; and historical loss experience. The Company reserved $2.8 million and $2.7 million for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:
Buildings10to50years
Machinery and equipment2to12years
Software2to7years

Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged against earningsexpensed as incurred. Major replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:

Buildings10to50years
Machinery and equipment2to12years
Software2to7years
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Investments: The Company periodically invests in debt or equity securities of start-up companies and/or development stage technology or other companies without acquiring a controlling interest. The Company applies the equity method of accounting when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decision making of the investee. Investments in equity method affiliates totaled $11.0 million and $17.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Equity investments that have readily determinable fair values in which the Company does not have significant influence are measured at fair value, with any unrealized holding gains and losses being recorded to earnings. Investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the assets.same issuer and are qualitatively assessed for impairment indicators each reporting period. Investments in debt and equity securities not accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $35.8 million and $13.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's investments are recorded within Other noncurrent assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.


GoodwillLeases: The Company records a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and Intangible Assets:  lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee. At inception of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Judgment and estimation is also 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. The Company assesses the specific terms and conditions of each lease to determine the appropriate classification as either an operating or finance lease. Substantially all of the Company's leases for which the Company is a lessee are classified as operating leases. In determining the appropriate length of the lease term, both 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 as of lease commencement are considered. If at lease commencement date, a lease has a term of less than 12 months and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the Company does not include the lease as part of its ROU asset or lease liability. If the Company enters into a large number of leases in the same month with the same terms and conditions, these are considered a group (portfolio). There are no material residual value guarantees provided by the Company nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by any leases to which the Company is a party.

As a lessee, the Company categorizes its leases into two general categories: real estate leases and equipment leases. The Company's real estate leases include leased production and assembly facilities, warehouses and distribution centers and office space. 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 and other miscellaneous leased equipment.

The terms and conditions of real estate leases can vary significantly from lease to lease. The Company assesses 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. The Company assesses all relevant factors to determine if sufficient incentives exist as of lease commencement to conclude whether or not renewal is

reasonably certain. When available, the Company will utilize the rate implicit in the lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability. However, as this rate is not available for most leases, the Company will use its incremental borrowing rate for debt instruments with terms approximating the weighted-average term of its real estate or equipment leases to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value. The Company does incur variable lease payments for certain of its real estate leases, such as reimbursements of property taxes, maintenance and other operational costs to the lessor. In general, these variable lease payments are not captured as part of the lease liability or ROU asset, but rather are expensed as incurred. Most of the Company's equipment leases are for terms ranging from two to five years, although terms and conditions can vary from lease to lease. The Company applies similar estimates and judgments to its equipment lease portfolio in determining the lease payments, lease term and incremental borrowing rate as it does to its real estate lease portfolio. The Company does not typically incur variable lease payments related to its equipment leases.

Goodwill: The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the net assets acquired.

In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of thea reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not less than theits carrying amount of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset.amount.
Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level. The carrying amount of thea reporting unit is compared to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill. Estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units is based on two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues (market approach), with each method being weighted in the calculation.

Intangible Assets: Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than Goodwill are not amortized, but similar to Goodwill, are also tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate the asset is more likely than not less than its carrying amount. Recoverability of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (i.e. Trademarks)Trade names) is determined on a relief from royalty methodology, (income approach), which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate discount rate, to license the use of an asset rather than owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e. royalty relief) indicates the estimated fair value of the asset. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.


Intangible assets such as completed technologies, patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:
Customer relationships2520years
TrademarksTrade names (finite-lived)25years
Completed technology/technologies/patents10years
Other257years

Recoverability of intangible assets with finite useful lives is assessed in the same manner as property, plant and equipment, as described above.


Business Combinations: The fair value of consideration paid in a business combination is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill. Acquired intangible assets primarily include indefinite-lived trade names, customer relationships and completed technologies. The accounting for business combinations involves a considerable amount of judgment and estimation, including the fair value of acquired intangible assets involving projections of future revenues and cash flows that are either discounted at an estimated discount rate or measured at an estimated royalty rate; fair value of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including potential contingencies; and the useful lives of the acquired assets. As a result, in the case of significant acquisitions, the Company normally obtains the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities. An income approach or market approach (or both) is utilized in accordance with accepted valuation models for significant acquired assets to determine fair value.

Income Taxes: The calculation of the Company’s income taxes involves considerable judgment and the use of both estimates and allocations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that

that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.benefits.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”), whichsuch warranty is discussed in greater detail in Note 17. The Tax Reform Act includes a provision termed the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI"). The GILTI provisions will require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the non-U.S. subsidiary's tangible assets. Although it is uncertain whether we will incur a GILTI liability, to the extent a GILTI tax is incurred, the Company has elected to account for GILTI taxincluded in the period in which it is incurred.

The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will makemakes adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available. Refer to Note 19 for further details of product warranties.


Revenue Recognition: Revenue isNet revenues are recognized and earned when allbased on the satisfaction of performance obligations under the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidenceterms of a contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer control of a distinct product or to provide a service, or a bundle of products or services, to a customer. The Company has two principal revenue streams, tangible product sales arrangement exists; (b)and services. Approximately 99% of consolidated Net revenues involve contracts with a single performance obligation, the price is fixedtransfer of control of a product or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. Delivery generallybundle of products to a customer. Transfer of control typically occurs when goods are shipped from the titleCompany's facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). The Company's remaining Net revenues involve services, including installation and consulting. Unlike the risks and rewardssingle performance obligation to ship a product or bundle of ownership have transferred to the customer. Both the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement and fixed or determinable price criteria are deemed to be satisfied upon receipt of an executed and legally binding sales agreement or contract that clearly defines the terms and conditions of the transaction including the respective obligations of the parties. If the defined terms and conditions allow variability in all or a component of the price, revenue is not recognized until such time that the price becomes fixed or determinable. At the point of sale, the Company validates the existence of an enforceable claim that requires payment within a reasonable amount of time and assesses the collectability of that claim. If collectability is not deemed to be reasonably assured, thenproducts, revenue recognition related to services is deferred until such time that collectability becomes probable or cash is received. Delivery is not considered to have occurreddelayed until the customer has taken title and assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Service and installation revenueservice based performance obligations are recognized when earned.satisfied. In some instances, customer acceptance provisions are included in sales arrangements to give the buyer the ability to ensure the delivered product or service meets the criteriaany established in the order.criteria. In these instances, revenue recognition is deferred until the performance obligations are satisfied, which could include acceptance terms specified in the arrangement arebeing fulfilled through customer acceptance or a demonstration that established criteria have been satisfied. If uncertainty exists about customer acceptance, revenue is not recognized until acceptance has occurred.

Examples of the sales incentives thatactivity, as these items are accruedreserved for as a contra receivablededuction to Net revenues based on the Company's historical rates of providing these incentives and annual forecasted sales deduction at the point of sale include, but are not limited to, discounts (i.e. net 30 type), coupons, and rebates where the customer does not have to provide any additional requirements to receive the discount.volumes. Sales returns and customer disputes involving a question of quantity or price are also accounted for as variable consideration, and therefore, as a reduction in revenueto Net revenues and as a contra receivable. At December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, the Company had a customer claim accrual (contra receivable) of $32.5$47.7 million and $29.0$48.6 million, respectively. All other incentives or incentive programs where the customer is required to reach a certain level of purchases, remain a customer for a certain period, provide a rebate form or is subject to additional requirements are also considered variable consideration and are accounted for as a reduction of revenue and establishment of a liability. At December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, the Company had a sales incentive accrual of $31.8$38.0 million and $29.6$35.0 million, respectively. Each of these accruals represents the Company’s best estimate it expectsof the most likely amount expected to pay related to previously sold unitsbe received from customers based on historical claim experience. These estimates are reviewed regularly for accuracy. Ifaccuracy, and if updated information or actual amounts are different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results for the period in which they become known. Historically,
As a practical expedient, the aggregate differences,Company recognizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would have been one year or less. The Company also applies the practical expedients allowed under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", to omit the disclosure of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and for contracts where the Company has the right to invoice for performance completed to date. The transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component, as the time period between control transfer of goods and services is less than one year.

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, from time to time, received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites for past operations. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal. In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on the Company's understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing technology,

does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies and is not discounted. Refer to Note 19 for further details of environmental matters.


Research and Development Costs: The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing and improving new products and services. These expenditurescosts are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015, these expenditures2019, expenses related to research and development activities amounted to approximately $48.3$73.3 million,, $47.3 $54.4 million and $45.2$54.7 million,, respectively, and consistprimarily consisted of salaries, wages, benefits, buildingfacility costs and other overhead expenses.


Software Costs:  The Company capitalizes certain qualified internal-use software costs during the application development stage and subsequently amortizes those costs over the software's useful life, which ranges from 2 to 7 years.

EmployeeDefined Benefit Plans:Plans: The Company provides a range of defined benefits, including pensions,pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits to eligible current and former employees. Determining the costcosts associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected returnreturns on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality turnover rates, and healthcare cost trendturnover rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptionsestimates and are generally accumulated intorecorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss and amortized into Net earnings over future periods. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, ifas appropriate. Refer to Note 1112for further details on employeedefined benefit plans.


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 stock units ("PSUs") and deferred compensation. The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date. The Company's Performance Stock Program ("PSP") provides awards for key employees in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred.

Loss Contingencies: Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental matters, product liability,liabilities, product warranty,warranties, worker’s compensation and other claims. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using inputs derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve and, in certain instances, with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year. Refer

Financial Instruments: In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to Note 19manage the risks associated with interest and currency rate exposures. These financial instruments are not used for further details on loss contingencies.trading or speculative purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:


In July 2015,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16,2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." This update addresses the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Previously, GAAP prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. In addition, interpretations of this guidance have developed in practice over the years for transfers of certain intangible and tangible assets. The amendments in the update will require recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The Company elected to early adopt on January 1, 2017. As a result, during the first quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a cumulative effect within retained earnings of $5.0 million with an offset to other current assets and other noncurrent assets.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles– Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment.Income Taxes." The amendednew guidance simplifieswas intended to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entitiesincome taxes by eliminating the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Aremoving certain exceptions and by updating accounting requirements around franchise taxes, goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for

tax purposes, the amount by which the carrying valueallocation of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Thecurrent and deferred tax expense among legal entities, among other minor changes. This ASU will bebecame effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt on October 1, 2017; however, this new standard did not impact our annual impairment test performed on goodwill as of October 1, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). ASC 606 is a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The model is based on changes in contract assets (rights to receive consideration) and liabilities (obligations to provide a good or perform a service). Revenue is recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations, which occurs when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. ASC 606
contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption ("modified retrospective method"). The FASB has also issued the following standards which clarify ASU 2014-09: ASU 2017-14, Revenue Recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release No. 33-10403, ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments, ASU 2016-20, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Technical Corrections and Improvements, ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients and ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The Company adopted each of these standards on January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has completed an assessment of the new standard’s impact and determined the new standards will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. The Company will expand the consolidated financial statement disclosures in order to comply with ASU 2014-09 starting in our first quarter 10-Q of 2018. The expanded disclosure will present in a tabular format the split by business segment between 1) product and service revenue, and 2) products transferred at a point in time and services transferred over time.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, these arrangements will be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018,2020, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is continuing to assess what impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial statements; however,Accordingly, the Company anticipates that thisadopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021, and the adoption will result indid not have a significant gross-up of assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and will require changesmaterial impact to its systems and processes.the Consolidated Financial Statements.


In June 2016,January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses2020-01, "Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 326)321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815." The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain typesamendments in ASU 2020-01 clarify the interaction of financial instruments. Thethe accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This ASU will bebecame effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, and interim periods within those annual periods. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2020-01 on January 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers." This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities (e.g. deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in purchase accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2016-13 willpermitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The ASU will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and as such, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, beginning in 2018, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business." This update provides guidance to assist companies in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and requires prospective adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.


In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." ASU 2017-07 requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the statement of comprehensive income separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of operating income. ASU 2017-07 also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and as such, the Company adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018. The ASU will be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The amendments allow a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company intends to apply these practical expedients for prior period presentation. The Company does not believe the adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 addresses previous limitations on how an entity can designate the hedged risk in certain cash flow and fair value hedging relationships by expanding and refining hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligning the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.yet been issued. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-122021-08 on January 1, 2018.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but instead, are tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

Intangible asset amortization expense for 2017, 2016the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 20152019, was $22.1$34.0 million,, $20.5 $31.5 million and $11.9$31.2 million,, respectively. Future estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets in each of the next five years amounts to approximately $22.7 million for 2018, $21.8$29.0 million for 2019, $21.82022, $28.8 million for 2020, $21.72023, $28.8 million for 2021, and $21.72024, $27.9 million for 2022.2025 and $25.7 million for 2026.


In accordance with the Company’s indefinite-livedNo intangible asset impairment testing policy outlined in Note 2, the Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each year. In each year, the Company determined the fair value of all indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying values.

However, as a result of the global economic disruption and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic arising during 2017, 2016 or 2015.the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred as of March 31, 2020, and performed interim impairment testing on certain indefinite-lived trade names. Based on these tests, it was determined that three of the Company's indefinite-lived trade names were impaired, and impairment charges of $8.2 million were recorded. Additional intangible asset impairment charges of $5.4 million were recorded in 2020, relating to supply chain disruptions, which reduced a brand's expected future cash flows, and declines in volumes and pricing pressure for a separate subsidiary. During the 2019 annual impairment testing, it was determined that two of the Company's indefinite-lived trade names were impaired, resulting in impairment charges totaling $5.9 million.

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

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

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

The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives were $57.7was $164.9 million and $132.6$218.9 million at December 31, 20172021 and 2016. At 2020, respectively. The fair values of currency derivatives included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 20172021 and 2016, gains of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, net of tax,2020 were not material, nor were either the balances included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related toor the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The approximate amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $0.3 million. Therelated to currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, although 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 December 31, 2017, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was less than one year.



Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has forward starting interest rate swaps to fix interest rate payments during the contract period for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate Term Facility. These swaps expire in September 2020. These interest rate swaps met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, $3.5 million and $2.6 million of gains, net of tax, were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these interest rate swaps. The approximate amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $1 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result offuture changes in market conditions.

NOTE 1112 – PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS


The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of our 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 Company elected to change the method used to estimateestimates the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost toutilizing a full yield-curve approach. Historically, the Company estimated the service and interest cost components using a single weighted-average discount rate, rounded to the nearest 25th basis point, derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. Under the newthis approach, the Company appliedapplies discounting using the applicable spot rates derived from the yield curve to discount the cash flows used to measure the benefit obligation. These spot rates align to each of the projected benefit obligations and service cost cash flows. This change was made to better align the projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates to provide a better estimate of service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs. This change was considered a change in estimate and was accounted for on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2016. This change did not have a material impact on 2016 pension expense.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assetsobligation and is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and target asset allocations. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. Each plan is reviewed, along with its historical returns and target asset allocations, to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used.


The Company's overall objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. The goal is to achieve this while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution,contributions and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. Each plan’s funded status and asset allocation is monitored regularly in addition to investment manager performance.

NOTE 1213 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of the three levels 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.

F-23

Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:


Investments – These instruments include equity mutual funds and corporate bond funds. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
Foreign currency contracts Derivative instruments– These instruments include foreign currency contracts for non-functional currency balance sheet exposures.exposures, including both those that are and are not designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts areis determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.
F-24

Table of Contents
Interest rate swaps – These instruments include forward-starting interest rate swap contracts for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate debt. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on quoted prices for the Company's swaps, which are not considered an active market.

Deferred compensation 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 securitiesinstruments are recorded at cost and include senior notes maturing through 2027.2029. 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 cashCash and cash equivalents, accountsAccounts and notes receivable, accountsnet, Accounts payable, Accrued compensation and short-term borrowingsbenefits and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As discussed in Note 2, the Company also has investments in debt and equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer and are qualitatively assessed for impairment indicators at each reporting period. As these investments are considered to be nonrecurring fair value measurements, they are not included in the fair value tables above.


The methodologymethodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 20172021, are the same as those used at December 31, 2016. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.2020.

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 for the yearyears ended December 31, 20172021, 2020 and 20162019, was estimated to be $18.22 per share$24.99, $25.62 and $15.86$19.58 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Performance SharesStock

The Company has a Performance Share Program ("PSP") for key employees which provides awards in the form of Performance Share Units ("PSU") 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.


In February 2015, 20162019, 2020 and 2017,2021, 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 based on the change in the 30 day average price for the grant year index to the 30 day average price for the index over the performance period. The fair values of the market 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.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act became law, resulting in broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code which impact the Company's consolidated financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2017 including, but not limited to (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate, (2) requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries that may electively be paid over eight years, and (3) requiring a review of the future realizability of deferred tax balances.

The Tax Reform Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Reform Act also puts in place new tax laws which include, but are not limited to (1) a Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax (BEAT), which is a new minimum tax, (2) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, (3) a provision designed to tax currently global intangible low taxed income (GILTI), (4) a provision that may limit the amount of currently deductible interest expense, (5) the repeal of the domestic production incentives, (6) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and (7) limitations on the utilization of foreign tax credits to reduce the U.S. income tax liability.


Shortly after the Tax Reform Act was enacted, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118) which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Reform Act’s impact. SAB 118 provides a measurement period, which in no case should extend beyond one year from the Tax Reform Act enactment date, during which a company acting in good faith may complete the accounting for the impacts of the Tax Reform Act under ASC Topic 740. In accordance with SAB 118, the company must reflect the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act in the reporting period in which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 is complete.

To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act is incomplete, the Company can determine a reasonable estimate for those effects and record a provisional estimate in the financial statements in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, the company should continue to apply ASC 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Reform Act being enacted. If a company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Reform Act in a reporting period, a provisional amount must be recorded in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined.

The Company has recorded a provisional discrete net tax charge of $53.5 million related to the Tax Reform Act in the year ended December 31, 2017. This net charge primarily consists of a net charge of $24.5 million due to the remeasurement of deferred tax accounts to reflect the corporate rate reduction impact to the Company's net deferred tax balances, a net charge of $22.8 million due to the future realizability of certain deferred tax balances, and a net charge for the transition tax of $5.0 million, as more fully described below.

Reduction in U.S. Corporate Rate: The Tax Reform Act reduces the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate to 21 percent in years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company has recorded a provisional adjustment to the net deferred tax balances, with a corresponding discrete net tax charge of $24.5 million in the current period. While the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate, the Company is continuing to analyze the temporary differences that existed on the date of enactment.

Future Realizability of Certain Deferred Tax Balances: The Tax Reform Act contains provisions that may limit or restrict the future realizability of certain existing deferred tax balances. The Company has recorded a provisional valuation allowance related to interest limitation carryforwards and other adjustments to the net deferred tax assets, with a corresponding discrete net tax charge of $22.8 million in the current period. While the Company can make a reasonable estimate of the valuation allowance, the Company is awaiting further interpretative guidance and is continuing to gather additional information to refine its assessment. To the extent transition rules and interpretative guidance is clarified, some or all of the valuation allowance may reverse in a subsequent period.

Transition Tax: The transition tax is levied on the previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (E&P) of certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. In order to determine the amount of the transition tax, the Company must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. E&P is similar to retained earnings of the subsidiary, but requires other adjustments to conform to U.S. tax rules. The Company has made a reasonable estimate of the transition tax and recorded a provisional transition tax obligation of $5.0 million which the Company expects to elect to pay over eight years. This amount is presented in current and Other long-term liabilities. However, the Company is awaiting further interpretative guidance, continuing to assess available tax methods and elections, and continuing to gather additional information to more precisely compute the amount of the transition tax.


The majority of the Company's earnings are considered permanently reinvested. The $5.0 million transition tax will result in certain previously untaxed non-U.S. earnings being included inreinvested, and therefore, the U.S. federal and state 2017 taxable income. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, the Company is currently analyzing its global working capital requirements and the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if certain non-U.S. subsidiaries made distributions, which include local country withholding tax and potential U.S. state taxation. For these reasons, the Company is not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the Tax Reform Act and has not recorded any incremental withholding or stateincome tax liabilities on its investment inearnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The Company is also currently analyzing other provisions of the Tax Reform Act that come into effect in 2018. These provisions include BEAT, eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, the treatment of amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income, the new provision that could limit the amount of deductible interest expense, and the limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

At December 31, 2017, $6.02021, $1.9 million of deferred tax wastaxes were recorded for certain undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. Historically, no deferred taxes have been provided for any portion of the remaining undistributed earnings of the Company's subsidiaries since these earnings have been, and will continue to be, permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. For many reasons, including the number of legal entities and jurisdictions involved, the complexity of the Company's legal entity structure, the complexity of tax laws in the relevant jurisdictions and the impact of projections of income for future years to any calculations, the Company believes it is not practicable to estimate, within any reasonable range, the amount of additional taxes which may be payable upon the distribution of earnings.


At December 31, 2017,2021, the Company had the following tax losses and tax credit carryforwards available to offset taxable income in prior and future years:

The U.S. state loss carryforwards were incurred in various jurisdictions. The non-U.S. loss carryforwards were incurred in various jurisdictions, predominantly in China, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.


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

This increase isThe increases for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, are the result of changes in jurisdictional profitability, country specific tax laws, internal restructurings, jurisdictional profitability and changes in judgmentjudgments and facts regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its Provisionprovision for income taxes. The Company had reserves associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $4.9$7.5 million and $5.4$7.6 million at December 31, 20172021 and 2016.2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, the Company recognized $0.0$0.5 million and $0.3$1.9 million in net interest and penalties, net of tax, related to these uncertain tax positions.


The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to the Company's tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Although the outcomes and timing of such events are highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, could potentially be reduced by up to approximately $10.7$8.7 million during the next 12 months.


The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a tax authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland and the United States.U.S. In general, the examination of the material tax returns of subsidiaries of the Company is complete for the years prior to 2003,2009, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and litigation.


The Company had indemnity receivables in the amount of $5.7 million and $5.6 million included in Other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily related to additional competent authority relief filings.


NOTE 1819 – 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.

The Company does not have any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded.

NOTE 1921 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigations,litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product warranty matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental Matters
The Company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilizationincurred $0.9 million, $7.1 million 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 $3.2$1.7 million, $23.3 million, and $4.4 million of expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 2015,2019, respectively, for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company. In the fourth-quarter
F-33

Table of 2016, with the collaboration and approval of state regulators, the Company launched a proactive, alternative approach to remediate two sites in the United States. This approach will allow the Company to more aggressively address environmental conditions at these sites and reduce the impact of potential changes in regulatory requirements. As a result, the Company recorded a $15 million charge for environmental remediation in the fourth quarter of 2016. Contents
Environmental remediation costs are recorded in Costs of goods sold within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

As of December 31, 20172021 and 2016,2020, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $28.9$16.4 million and $30.6 million.$21.1 million, respectively. The total reserve at December 31, 20172021 and 20162020, included $8.9$4.3 million and $9.6$4.4 million, respectively, related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of their expected term.future payment. The Company's total current environmental reserve at December 31, 20172021 and 20162020, was $12.6$3.7 million and $6.1$6.1 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 changes in the standard product warranty liability for the yearyears ended December 31, were as follows:

NOTE 2022 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION


The Company classifies its business into the following three2 reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Allegion Americas EMEIA, and Asia Pacific.

Allegion International. 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 its operating decisions. The Company defines Segment operating margin as Segment operating income (loss) as a percentage of the segment's Net revenues.

As previously announced, effective January 1, 2021, the Company combined its previous operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia Pacific into a new segment named Allegion International, in addition to renaming its Americas segment "Allegion Americas". Business segment information for EMEA and Asia Pacific for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, has been combined in the table below to reflect this change in reportable segments.

NOTE 2123 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed three acquisitions:
BusinessDate
Technical Glass Products, Inc. ("TGP")January 2018
Hammond Enterprises, Inc. ("Hammond")January 2018
Qatar Metal Industries LLC ("QMI")February 2018

In January 2018, the Company acquired 100% of TGP through one of its subsidiaries. TGP provides glass and framing solutions for commercial buildings, as well as non-fire rated architectural glass and framing, including channel glass systems and curtain walls throughout the United States, Canada, and select markets in the Middle East. TGP will be incorporated into the Company's Americas and EMEIA segments.

In January 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the machinery, equipment, and intellectual property of a division of Hammond through one of its subsidiaries. The assets acquired will be integrated into the Company's existing production facilities and are specific to the Company's Schlage branded products.

In February 2018, the Company acquired 100% of QMI through one of its subsidiaries. QMI specializes in fire rated and non-fire rated steel and wooden doors, acoustic doors, and wooden cabinets, as well as fire rated curtain wall systems and access panels in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Africa. QMI will be incorporated into the Company's EMEIA segment.

Total consideration paid for these three acquisitions at closing was approximately $215 million (net of cash acquired), with additional consideration approximating $10 million to be paid subject to a retention and transition period for two of these acquisitions. Cash on hand was utilized to fund these acquisitions.

Based on the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions, approximately $5 million has been allocated to net working capital, approximately $15 million to long-term tangible assets,

approximately $120 million to indefinite-lived and finite intangible assets, and the remaining approximately $85 million to goodwill. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions individually and in the aggregate would not have had a material impact on consolidated pro forma results of operations in 2017 or 2016.


On February 7, 2018,4, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21$0.41 cents per ordinary share. The dividend is payable March 29, 201831, 2022 to shareholders of record on March 15, 2018.16, 2022.

NOTE 22 – GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Allegion US Holding Company, Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co") is the issuer of the 3.200% and 3.550% Senior Notes. Allegion plc is the guarantor of the 3.200% and 3.550% Senior Notes. The following condensed and consolidated financial information of Allegion plc, Allegion US Hold Co, and the other Allegion subsidiaries that are not guarantors (the "Other Subsidiaries") on a combined basis as of December 31, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, is being presented in order to meet the reporting requirements under the Senior Notes indenture and Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X, separate financial statements for the Issuer, Allegion plc, whom is the guarantor, are not required to be filed with the SEC as the subsidiary debt issuer is directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent, whom is the guarantor, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

In addition to reflecting the presentation of the condensed and consolidating financial statements for the new guarantor reporting structure disclosed in Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 26, 2017, the Company also made revisions to correct certain errors that were not material to the condensed and consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which impacted Allegion US Hold Co, with applicable offsetting adjustments in the Consolidating Adjustments column. These revisions had no impact to the condensed and consolidating statements of comprehensive income (loss) or cash flows for any period. The effects of the revisions were as follows: Allegion US Hold Co's Investments in affiliates and Other shareholders' equity (deficit) was reduced by $2,696.3 million. The applicable offsetting effect of these corrections was included in the Consolidating Adjustments column.

Subsequent to December 31, 2017 but before the issuance of this annual report, a merger of an entity currently presented in the "Other Subsidiaries" column with Allegion US Hold Co took place. As a result, the guarantor financial information presented under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X included in this periodic report does not reflect this merger. The entity merged with Allegion US Hold Co primarily includes intercompany investments and related equity; there is no material income statement or cash flow activity related to this entity. In future periodic filings beginning with the Company's 2018 first quarterly report included in Form 10-Q, the condensed and consolidating financial information presented below will be modified to reflect this merger.
