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 may cause a difference
include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A - Risk
Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2021. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information, including our Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements and
the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Organization

Allegion plc and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion," "the Company", "we,"
"our," or "us") is a leading global provider of security products and solutions
operating in two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. We sell
a wide range of security products and solutions for end-users in commercial,
institutional and residential facilities worldwide, including the education,
healthcare, government, hospitality, commercial office and single and
multi-family residential markets. Our leading brands include CISA®, Interflex®,
LCN®, Schlage®, SimonsVoss® and Von Duprin®.

Recent Developments

Industry Trends and Outlook



Throughout the first half of 2022, we have experienced strong demand for our
products and services in most of the markets we serve. Demand for our
non-residential products, particularly in our Allegion Americas segment,
continues to be robust; however, we are starting to see softening demand for our
Allegion Americas residential products. Macroeconomic challenges, including the
on-going war in Ukraine and COVID-19 related lockdowns in China, have also
negatively impacted demand in the second quarter throughout many of the markets
we serve through our Allegion International businesses.

Supply chain disruptions and delays and shortages in materials and labor
availability persist, and continue to negatively impact our ability to meet the
elevated levels of customer demand. These challenges also continue to create
operational and logistical inefficiencies, including periodic production
interruptions and elevated levels of inventory, which have negatively impacted
our productivity, margin performance, working capital and cash flows throughout
the first half of 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, however, we did see
improvement in the supply of parts and components, particularly for our Allegion
Americas non-residential products, although we continue to experience shortages
of electronic components from key suppliers. We expect these challenges to
continue throughout the year. Persistent, elevated levels of inflation also
continue to impact margin performance, although we continue to see strong
momentum from the pricing initiatives we began in 2021 across all of our global
businesses. We expect this pricing momentum to continue to contribute to revenue
growth and offset the impact of inflation on margin performance throughout the
remainder of 2022.

While we anticipate fiscal year 2022 will continue to be a dynamic macroeconomic
environment, we remain focused on providing exceptional service and innovation
to our customers. We have implemented measures to mitigate operational and
distribution inefficiencies, such as re-engineering product designs and
configurations to accept alternate electronic components and developing
alternate sources of supply; and investing in business initiatives to drive
future growth and add value through seamless access. We will continue to explore
various options to control costs and enhance financial performance while
minimizing disruption to customers and our overall business.

The on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the
macroeconomic challenges noted above will likely continue to affect us in
numerous and evolving ways. The full impact of these challenges and
uncertainties on our business will continue to depend on future developments
that we may not be able to accurately predict. These challenges and
uncertainties, and their potential or heightened impact on our business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as other challenges
and uncertainties that could affect our businesses are described further under
Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2021.

Acquisition of the Access Technologies business



On July 5, 2022, we completed the previously announced acquisition of the Access
Technologies business. The closing purchase price for the acquisition was
$923.1 million, inclusive of the previously announced purchase price of $900
million, in addition to customary working capital adjustments and the settlement
of certain operating liabilities at closing. To finance this acquisition, we
used the net proceeds from the issuance of our 5.411% Senior Notes, together
with borrowings under our 2021 Revolving Facility.

The Access Technologies business is a leading manufacturer, installer and service provider of automatic doors in North America, primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Its diversified customer base centers on non-residential settings, including retail,

healthcare, education, commercial offices, hospitality and government. This
acquisition helps us create a more comprehensive portfolio of access solutions,
with the addition of automated entrances. Additionally, the Access Technologies
business adds an expansive service and support network throughout the U.S. and
Canada, broadening our solutions to national, regional and local customers, and
complementing our existing strengths in these non-residential markets. The
Access Technologies business will be integrated into our Allegion Americas
segment.

2022 Dividends and Share Repurchases

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid dividends of $0.82 per ordinary share to shareholders and repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for $61.0 million.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented and form the basis used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the business.

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by 3.5%, or $26.2 million, compared with the same period in 2021, due to the following:



Pricing                      8.4  %
Volume                      (2.0) %
Acquisitions                 0.1  %
Currency exchange rates     (3.0) %
Total                        3.5  %


The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by improved pricing across all
our major businesses, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange
rate movements and lower volumes, particularly in our Allegion Americas
residential and Allegion International businesses.

Pricing includes increases or decreases of price, including discounts,
surcharges and/or other sales deductions, on our existing products and services.
As discussed above, in response to the persistent, elevated levels of inflation
discussed above, we continue to implement various pricing initiatives across our
global businesses, which drove the overall increase in Net revenues compared to
the same period in 2021. Volume includes increases or decreases of revenue due
to changes in unit volume of existing products and services, as well as new
products and services.

Operating Income/Margin



Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased $1.7
million compared to the same period in 2021. Operating margin, which we define
as Operating income as a percentage of total Net revenues, for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 19.0% from 19.5% for the same period in 2021,
due to the following:

The increase in Operating income was driven by pricing improvements in excess of
inflation and productivity challenges, as well as the impact of a prior year
acquisition. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable volume/product
mix, a year-over-year increase in restructuring and acquisition expenses,
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and increased investment
spending.

The decrease in Operating margin was primarily due to a year-over-year increase
in restructuring and acquisition expenses, unfavorable foreign currency exchange
rate movements and increased investment spending. These decreases were partially
offset by pricing improvements in excess of inflation and productivity
challenges, the favorable impact of product mix on operating margin, which
exceeded the impact from lower volumes, as well as the impact of a prior year
acquisition.

Pricing and productivity in excess of inflation includes the impact to both
Operating income and Operating margin from pricing, as defined above, in
addition to productivity and inflation. Productivity represents improvements in
unit costs of materials, cost reductions related to improvements to our
manufacturing design and processes and reductions in selling and administrative
expenses due to productivity projects. Inflation includes both unit costs for
the current period compared to the average actual cost for the prior period,
multiplied by current year volumes, and current period costs of ongoing selling
and administrative functions compared to the same ongoing expenses in the prior
period. Expenses related to increased head count for strategic initiatives, new
facilities or other significant spending for strategic initiatives or new
product and channel development, are captured in Investment spending in the
table above.

Volume/product mix represents the impact to both Operating income and Operating
margin due to increases or decreases of revenue due to changes in unit volume,
including new products and services, including the effect of changes in the mix
of products and services sold on Cost of goods sold.

Interest Expense



Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased $4.8
million compared with the same period in 2021, primarily due to $4.3 million of
third party costs related to the financing of the Access Technologies business
acquisition. The recent rise in interest rates has also contributed to a higher
weighted-average interest rate on our outstanding indebtedness.

Other Income, Net



The components of Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, were as follows:

In millions                                                          2022                2021

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, were 13.6% and 12.8%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate
compared to 2021 is primarily due to the prior year impact of the remeasurement
of deferred tax balances resulting from the enactment of a jurisdictional tax
rate change and unfavorable year-over-year changes in the amount of share-based
compensation deductions, which were partially offset by the favorable mix of
income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented and form the basis used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the business.

Net revenues

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased by 3.9%, or $55.5 million, compared with the same period in 2021, due to the following:



Pricing                      7.2  %
Volume                      (0.8) %

Currency exchange rates     (2.5) %
Total                        3.9  %


The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by improved pricing across all
our major businesses, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange

residential business.

The decrease in Operating income was primarily due to unfavorable volume/product

unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and increased investment
spending. These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing in excess of
inflation and productivity challenges and the impacts of a prior year
acquisition and the prior year divestiture of our QMI business.

The decrease in Operating margin was primarily due to the detrimental impacts to
margin from inflation and productivity challenges exceeding the positive impact
from improved pricing, in addition to a year-over-year increase in restructuring

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
were 13.4% and 12.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate
compared to 2021 is primarily due to the prior year impact of the remeasurement
of deferred tax balances resulting from the enactment of a jurisdictional tax
rate change and unfavorable year-over-year changes in the amount of share-based
compensation deductions, which were partially offset by the favorable mix of
income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

Review of Business Segments

We operate in and report financial results for two segments: Allegion Americas and Allegion International. These segments represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews our financial performance and makes operating decisions.



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

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

Allegion Americas

Our Allegion Americas segment is a leading provider of security products and
solutions throughout North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South
America. The segment sells a broad range of products and solutions including
locks, locksets, portable locks, key systems, door closers, exit devices, doors,
door systems, electronic products and access control systems to customers in
commercial, institutional and residential facilities, including the education,
healthcare, government, hospitality, commercial office and single and
multi-family residential markets. This segment's primary brands are LCN,
Schlage, Steelcraft, Technical Glass Products ("TGP") and Von Duprin.

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by 7.8%, or $42.9 million, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the following:



Pricing                         9.4  %
Volume                         (1.4) %

Currency exchange rates        (0.2) %
Total                           7.8  %


The increase in Net revenues was driven by substantially improved pricing,
partially offset by lower volumes in our residential business and unfavorable
foreign currency exchange rate movements. As discussed above, the Allegion
Americas segment has implemented various pricing initiatives to help offset
increased inflationary pressures, driving the overall increase in Net revenues
compared to the same period in 2021.

Net revenues from non-residential products for the three months ended June 30,
2022, increased by a high teens percent compared to the same period in the prior
year, driven by improved pricing and higher volumes. Improved availability of
materials and components helped drive the increase in volumes compared to the
same period in the prior year.

Net revenues from residential products for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
decreased by a mid-teens percent compared to the same period in the prior year.
This decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes and was partially offset by
improved pricing. Although we continue to face challenges around the supply of
electronic components and have also seen a slight softening in market demand for
residential products in the current quarter, we expect to revert to revenue
growth in the second half of 2022, given the combination of our pricing
initiatives and the comparable impact to the second half of 2021, when the
supply chain challenges and shortages of materials began to negatively impact
revenue growth.

Growth in electronic security products and solutions is a metric that is
actively 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 locks,
access controls and electrified exit devices and door controls. For the three
months ended June 30, 2022, Net revenues from the sale of electronic products in
the Allegion Americas segment decreased by a low single digits percent compared
to the same period in the prior year. We continue to face supply chain
challenges around shortages of electronic components from key suppliers, which
is impacting our ability to meet the level of demand for our electronic
products. We expect these challenges around the availability of electronic
components to continue throughout the year, and as a result, we are actively
implementing measures to mitigate the operational and distribution
                                       22

inefficiencies these component shortages and other challenges are creating, such as re-engineering product designs and configurations to accept alternate electronic components and developing alternate sources of supply.

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased by 6.9%, or $72.2 million, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the following:



Pricing                         8.1  %
Volume                         (1.1) %

Currency exchange rates        (0.1) %
Total                           6.9  %


The increase in Net revenues was driven by improved pricing and was partially
offset by lower volumes in our residential business and unfavorable foreign
currency exchange rate movements. Net revenues from non-residential products for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased by a mid-teens percent compared to
the same period in the prior year, driven by improved pricing and higher
volumes. Net revenues from residential products for the six months ended June
30, 2022, decreased by a low double digits percent compared to the same period
in the prior year, driven by lower volumes, which were partially offset by
increased pricing. Net revenues from the sale of electronic products for the six
months ended June 30, 2022, were flat compared to the same period in the prior
year.

Operating income/margin

Segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased
$3.2 million compared to the same period in 2021, and Segment operating margin
for the three months ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 25.9% from 27.4%, due to
the following:

The increase in Segment operating income was primarily driven by pricing improvements in excess of inflation and productivity challenges, as well as favorable product mix, which exceeded the impact from lower volumes. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and increased investment spending.

The decrease in Segment operating margin was primarily due to the detrimental impacts to margin from inflation and productivity challenges exceeding the impact from improved pricing, as well as increased investment spending and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These decreases were partially offset by the positive impact to margin from product mix, which exceeded the impact from lower volumes.



Segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased $8.3
million compared to the same period in 2021, and Segment operating margin for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 24.8% from 27.3%, due to the

Net Revenues



Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, decreased by 8.5%, or
$16.7 million, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the following:
Pricing                          5.5  %
Volume                          (3.6) %
Acquisitions                     0.5  %
Currency exchange rates        (10.9) %
Total                           (8.5) %


The decrease in Net revenues was driven primarily by unfavorable foreign
currency exchange rate movements due to the significant strengthening of the
U.S. dollar relative to most of the currencies in which we do business
throughout our Allegion International segment. Lower volumes, inclusive of our
discontinuing to sell into Russia and COVID-19 related lockdowns in China, also
contributed to the decrease in Net revenues. These decreases were partially
offset by improved pricing and the impact of a prior year acquisition.

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased by 4.3%, or $16.7 million, compared to the same period in 2021, due to the following: Pricing

                            4.9  %
Volume                            (0.2) %

Currency exchange rates           (8.8) %
Total                             (4.3) %


The decrease in Net revenues was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, slightly lower volumes and the prior year divestiture of our QMI business. These decreases were partially offset by improved pricing.

Segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased $2.5
million compared to the same period in 2021, and Segment operating margin for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased to 8.2% from 8.5%, due to the

The decreases in Segment operating income and Segment operating margin were
primarily driven by unfavorable volume/product mix, unfavorable foreign currency
exchange rate movements, a year-over-year increase in restructuring and
acquisition expenses and increased investment spending. These decreases were
partially offset by pricing and productivity improvements in excess of
inflation, as well as the impacts of a prior year acquisition and the prior year
divestiture of our QMI business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Outlook, Sources and Uses



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

As discussed above, on July 5, 2022, we completed our acquisition of the Access
Technologies business. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of our 5.411%
Senior Notes, together with borrowings of $340.0 million under the 2021
Revolving Facility, which was drawn on July 1, 2022, to finance the acquisition.
While the financing of this acquisition has increased our leverage, we remain
comfortably within all our financial covenants. Further, we do not believe this
acquisition or the related financing will diminish our sound financial position
or our ability to meet our short-term financing needs for at least the next 12
months.

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 Revolving Facility, we expect cash flows from
operations to be sufficient to maintain a sound financial position and liquidity
and to meet our financing needs for at least the next 12 months. Further, we do
not anticipate any covenant compliance challenges with any of our outstanding
indebtedness for at least the next 12 months. We also believe the availability
under our 2021 Credit Facilities and access to credit and capital markets are
sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans.

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the six months ended June 30. For additional details, see the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.
