John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: over to John. Thanks, Josh. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining. Q3 was another strong quarter as we execute our long term strategy and steadily deliver on our commitments to shareholders.

I’m proud of our team’s performance as we’ve remained agile in a dynamic operating environment. The double digit revenue growth for the enterprise and continued segment margin expansion speaks to the resiliency of our model, our broad end market exposures and the depth of our relationships with channel partners and end users. We continue to take advantage of our business’ strong cash generation, returning cash to shareholders and growing our business through accretive acquisitions. Year to date, we have allocated approximately $600,000,000 to acquiring businesses consistent with the priorities we outlined at our Investor Day. As we approach year end, the key market trends supporting our outlook are largely unchanged.

Our team continues to execute well and we are allocating capital for the long term benefit of our shareholders. As such, we are raising our 2025 full year outlook for adjusted earnings per share to $8.1 to $8.2 I’ll be back later to discuss the outlook and share some early views on markets for 2026. Please go to Slide four. Let’s take a look at capital allocation for the third quarter starting with our investments for organic growth. In September, the Allegion team launched a new mid tier commercial product line for Schlage, our performance series locks.

These locks bring Schlage quality to more price points in non residential applications giving us more ways to win in the aftermarket and building on the success of the mid price point Von Dupren 70 Series exit devices released last year. Turning to M and A, since we spoke at Q2 earnings, Allegion has announced two more acquisitions, UAP and Bressant. These UK based businesses strengthen our product portfolio including electronic locks in addition to enhancing our cost position. As discussed previously, the acquisitions of Elletek, Gatewise and Waitwhile closed earlier in the third quarter. Elysian continues to be a dividend paying stock and in the third quarter this amounted to $0.51 per share or approximately $44,000,000 We did not repurchase shares in the quarter and you can continue to expect Allegion to be balanced, consistent and disciplined with capital deployment over time with a clear priority of investing for profitable growth.

Mike will now walk you through the third quarter financial results. Thanks, John, and

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining today’s call. Please go to Slide number five. As John shared, our Q3 results reflect continued strong execution from the Allegion team, delivering double digit revenue growth for the enterprise. Revenue for the third quarter was over $1,000,000,000 an increase of 10.7% compared to 2024.

Organic revenue increased 5.9% in the quarter as a result of favorable price and volume led by our Americas nonresidential business, where demand remains healthy. Q3 adjusted operating margin was 24.1%, down 10 basis points compared to last year. Both our segments had margin expansion, which was offset by higher corporate expenses relative to the prior year comparable. Volume leverage and mix were accretive to margins. Additionally, price and productivity, net of inflation and investment, was a tailwind of $2,200,000 Adjusted earnings per share of $2.3 increased $0.14 or 6.5% versus the prior year.

Operational performance in accretive acquisitions contributed 10.6 points of EPS growth. This was partially offset by higher tax and interest and other. We still anticipate the full year tax rate to be in the range of 17% to 18%. Finally, year to date available cash flow was $485,200,000 which was up 25.1% as we continue to generate strong cash flow. I’ll provide more details on the balance sheet and cash flow a little later in the presentation.

Please go to Slide number six. Our Americas segment delivered strong operating results in Q3. Revenue of $844,000,000 was up 7.9% on a reported basis and up 6.4% on an organic basis, led by our nonresidential business. Organic growth included both favorable price and volume in the quarter. Reported revenue includes 1.5 points of growth from acquisitions.

Pricing in our Americas segment was 4.6% in the quarter. This includes a combination of core pricing and surcharges as we cover inflation, including tariffs. Our nonresidential business increased mid single digits organically and demand for our products remains healthy, supported by our broad end market exposure. Our residential business grew mid single digits, primarily driven by volume associated with new electronic products that we launched in the quarter and price. However, we still consider overall residential market demand to be soft, consistent with year to date growth rates.

Electronics revenue was up mid teens and continues to be a long term growth driver for Allegion. Americas adjusted operating income of $252,000,000 increased 9% versus the prior year. Adjusted operating margin was up 40 basis points as volume leverage and favorable mix were accretive to margins. Price and productivity net of inflation and investments was a tailwind of $10,200,000 Please go to slide number seven. Our International segment delivered revenue of $226,000,000 which was up 22.5% on a reported basis and up 3.6% organically, led by our Electronics businesses.

Acquisitions contributed 13.6% to segment revenue, consisting of the acquisitions John mentioned earlier, net of the previously announced divestiture of API. Currency was also a tailwind, positively impacting reported revenue by 5.3. International adjusted operating income of $32,300,000 increased 28.2% versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin for the quarter increased 70 basis points driven by volume leverage and mix. Acquisitions were accretive to segment margin rates, although slightly dilutive to the enterprise rates.

We continue to drive portfolio quality in the International segment through self help and adding high performing businesses where we have a right to win. Please go to Slide eight, and I will provide an overview on our cash flow and balance sheet. Year to date available cash flow was $485,200,000 up nearly $100,000,000 versus the prior year. This increase is driven by higher earnings, lower capital expenditures and improvements in working capital. I am pleased with the strong cash generation in 2025.

And based on year to date performance, we see upside to our previous cash flow outlook. We now expect conversion of 85% to 95% of adjusted net income. Working capital as a percent of revenue increased due to acquired working capital, which does not impact cash flow. Organic working capital improved compared to prior year. Finally, our balance sheet remains strong, and our net debt to adjusted EBITDA is at a healthy ratio of 1.8 times.

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: We continue to generate strong cash flow, and our balance sheet supports continued capital deployment. I will now hand the call back over to John. Thanks Mike. Please go to Slide nine and I’ll share our updated outlook. With one quarter remaining in the year, our markets remain largely consistent with our prior outlook.

In The Americas, non residential markets remain resilient and Allegion is performing well in the aftermarket. Our spec activity has grown over 2024 and year to date 2025 driven by our broad end market exposure and this supports our outlook. Residential markets however remained soft and as Mike mentioned solid performance in Q3 was primarily driven by new electronic product launches. International markets have largely been unchanged year to date and we continue to expect roughly flat organic performance. We expect approximately $40,000,000 of surcharge revenue in The Americas related to tariff recovery, which does include the August 18 scope expansion for Section two thirty two.

Based on strong execution and the recent acquisitions of UAP and Bresson, we’re increasing our 2025 adjusted EPS outlook to $8.1 to $8.2 You can find additional details as well as below the line model items in the appendix. As you know, we’ll provide Allegiant’s formal 2026 financial outlook during our February earnings call. So please go to Slide 10. Today, we’d like to provide a preliminary view on our markets for next year. And I’d say overall, we expect rather similar market conditions to 2025.

In The Americas, our broad end market coverage and spec activity continue to support organic growth in our non residential business. Residential markets continue to be soft. The input cost environment remains dynamic with tariffs and you can expect us to continue to drive price to offset inflation. Internationally, markets have been sluggish. However, we do expect to benefit from 2025 acquisition activity.

For the enterprise, we expect carryover revenue contribution of approximately two points from acquisitions closed in 2025. Please go to Slide 11. In summary, Allegion is executing at a high level while staying agile and steadily delivering on the long term commitments we shared with you at our Investor Day. Our performance is led by an enduring business model in non residential Americas, double digit electronics growth and accretive capital deployment as we acquire good businesses in markets where we have a right to win. I’m proud of the performance by the Allegiant team in this very dynamic environment which gives us the confidence to increase our EPS outlook for the year.

With that, we’ll take the questions.

Conference Operator: We will now begin the question and answer session. The first question today comes from Joe Ritchie with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

Joe Ritchie, Analyst, Goldman Sachs: Hey, good morning guys.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Good morning Joe.

Joe Ritchie, Analyst, Goldman Sachs: So appreciate all the color and the initial look into 2026. John, maybe just pulling on that thread on spec writing continuing to be up and non res specifically, I think you mentioned last quarter, that you were starting to see some positive momentum on spec writing specifically as it relates to office. Can you maybe just give us an update on the key verticals and whether there’s there were any kind of like discernible differences between how you feel today versus how you felt a quarter ago?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Yes. It’s a good question, Joe. And I think the comments would be very consistent that our spec activity accelerated over the course of 2024 and has grown year to date 2025. Rather than picking and choosing this vertical or that vertical I would just say Allegion’s spec writers are very versatile in their expertise and one day could be writing a specification for an elementary school, the next day they could be doing multifamily and the next day after that they could be doing a data center. So they have that capability and that engine never turns off.

I think the main thing we’d have you take away is that spec activity has continued to grow in 2025 broadly speaking and spec activity supports our outlook as we talked about in the prepared remarks and gives us the confidence that we still see organic growth in non res Americas.

Joe Ritchie, Analyst, Goldman Sachs: Okay, great. Helpful. And then I want to also kind of just talk a little bit more about your M and A pipeline. It’s been such a great part of the story really over the last like twelve to eighteen months. And recognize that you’ve kind of given us the two points as a placeholder for next year.

Just talk about the pipeline as you see it today and as you’re kind of thinking about like the potential accretion from an earnings standpoint into next year based on what you already know, just any color around that would be helpful?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Yes, it’s a great question, Joe, and it’s something we’re really excited about. I think the pipeline is still strong and strong in both of our reporting segments, so strong in international, strong in The Americas. And if you recall our Investor Day material where we talked product categories that we’re looking for whether that’s portfolio expansion in our mechanical business, whether that’s electronics, whether that’s complementary software, we’ve got activity in all of those categories right now. So very excited about the pipeline and I’d say you can expect us to continue to be disciplined around the strategy and around the types of businesses we acquire and around the shareholder returns that we generate from these acquisitions. So I feel real good about it and I think it continues to be an important part of Allegiant’s overall growth story.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Joe, with respect to the question on the EPS, in the appendix we provide what the full year benefit this year is, which allows you to calculate what the EPS benefit on acquisitions is in the fourth quarter. And think about that as a carryover rate for the first two quarters of the year. The acquisitions were largely done early July. So that should provide you enough information for you to get a framework for the relative size of the benefit that we have.

Joe Ritchie, Analyst, Goldman Sachs: Okay, perfect. Thanks guys.

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Thanks, Joe.

Conference Operator: The next question comes from Joe O’Dea with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Joe O’Dea, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Can you just talk about conversations with building owners, architects, overall end users on the current kind of uncertainty impact in the macro? What they’re looking for? Really just trying to get a sense for what your perception is of activity that’s sidelined and just waiting for a little bit better visibility and what some of those key ingredients are to bringing that activity off the sidelines?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Joe, it’s a good question. And I would say there’s a couple of things going on. And as we are out with customers and end users quite frequently our own channel checks would indicate comments very consistent with what we shared with you in the prepared remarks that non res project activity is humming along pretty well. And I think some private finance came off the sidelines this year, a more favorable interest rate environment would certainly continue to be a swing factor that we would see to bring more of that private finance off the sidelines. But I would say overall positive environment and channel checks, our customers backlogs are pretty healthy and has given them pretty good confidence about organic growth as well and that’s what we’ve tried to convey to you today.

I think non res overall is humming along pretty well.

Joe O’Dea, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Appreciate that. And then on the international side, I think this was the first quarter volume growth after four of declines, actually better volume growth in international than Americas even this quarter. So just kind of unpacking a little bit more what you saw in the quarter, how you think about any momentum behind a little bit of volume growth there?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Yes, appreciate you noticing that, Joe. I mean, were certainly really happy to see that and proud of the international team to put those numbers up on the board this quarter. I would say our view on the end markets is still largely unchanged that it’s around flattish kind of organic growth. But I would also say you’ve had some of the market segments there really at historical trough and we don’t anticipate that they trend negative in perpetuity. So I think the international team has executed well in a lot of pretty challenging environments.

And like Mike mentioned in the prepared remarks, our electronics businesses are still performing very well. And you add to that, we’re still really excited about the Elevatek acquisition, which was a pretty sizable deal for us that will continue to add momentum there in the electronic space.

Joe O’Dea, Analyst, Wells Fargo: Thank you.

Conference Operator: The next question comes from Julian Mitchell with Barclays. Please go ahead.

Julian Mitchell, Analyst, Barclays: Hi, good morning. Just wanted to start with maybe the adjusted operating margins. So those were flattish in the third quarter year on year. Just wanted to check, but it looks like perhaps you’re assuming they pick up again with some margin expansion of a few tens of basis points in the fourth quarter. Just wanted to check if that was the right assumption and how we should think about the corporate cost movement into Q4 and next year in that context?

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes. Thanks for the question, Julien. If you look at the third quarter, pleased with the segment margin expansion did a really good job. We were negative in corporate. Part of that is just the year on year comp.

Last year in the third quarter, corporate was low. This year, our third quarter is really consistent, slightly less than even what you saw in the second quarter. As you think about margin expansion for the year, you could back into it. We expect to have margin expansion for the year and in the fourth quarter. And from a run rate perspective of corporate, the question you asked, you saw what we put up in the third quarter.

Think of that as relatively what we’ve ran in the last couple. So you can kind of use that as a fine estimate.

Julian Mitchell, Analyst, Barclays: That’s very helpful. Thank you. And just within the Americas segment for a second, you had a decent tailwind from that PPII bucket in the third quarter. And I think that was a good pickup from what you’d seen that being flattish in the second. When we’re looking out the next few quarters, should we assume that that sort of gross price of about four or five points is a good placeholder and PPII stays as a decent tailwind?

Just trying to understand operating leverage you have that mid-30s placeholder from the Investor Day. Are we sort of on that path now leaving aside the corporate costs moving around?

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes. If you think about The Americas, I talked about this earlier in the year. Inflation, especially associated with the tariffs, right, was a little quicker than some of the pricing benefits. We said that would improve as the year progressed. You see that in the third quarter.

The big item for us on the pricing side is what is inflation and tariffs are a component of that inflation. Just look for us to drive pricing and productivity and you’ve heard me mention this many times before. Pricing and productivity covers the inflation and the investment and that helps drive the margin expansion. Overall, feel good about the progress we’re making in The Americas. I think we’re doing a great job in combating a very dynamic environment of change when you think about tariffs and expect us to continue to drive that margin expansion that we talked about.

Julian Mitchell, Analyst, Barclays: Got it. And that sort of mid-30s type rate based on inflation and mix and price that should be achievable the next X kind of quarters? Nothing looks too out of line versus that.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes. Certainly, Q4, you could calculate. We’ll be back in February to give you a 26% outlook. Think of that as a long term, right, to the long term investors out there. Long term, we should be able to drive incrementals of 35%.

Let us get to February when we give our outlook and complete the annual operating plan. But certainly, for the fourth quarter, you could calculate the implied margin expansion.

Conference Operator: Question comes from Jeff Sprague with Vertical Research. Please go ahead.

Jeff Sprague, Analyst, Vertical Research: Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Hey, John. Want to come back to the deals, really kind of maybe a two part question. First, just thinking about everything that you’ve done here, it all looks like it makes sense and fits in nicely moving the needle as we’ve seen your results.

But just thinking about kind of the margin entitlement of what you’ve acquired, where you might be on integrating these assets? Are they all truly being integrated? Are any of them sort of standalone? Just trying to kind of get my head around kind of the journey you’re on here.

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Yes, I appreciate the question, Jeff. And I think, if you recall our Investor Day commentary, we talked about being disciplined and I would say some of those guardrails around being disciplined would be consistent with our strategy, consistent with our geographic exposure and consistent with markets where we’ve got a right to win meaning we’ve got brand strength, we’ve got human capital and talent, we’ve got distribution strength. And so, yes, to specifically answer your question, all of these acquisitions are being integrated and being integrated rapidly. I think there are synergies across the board and revenue synergies, cost synergies, there are exposure to faster growing segments that we’ve acquired. So I feel real good about the strategic alignment of every deal we’ve done and continue to feel the same way about the outlook on our pipeline there.

Really good but yes, I mean we’re not looking to acquire our way into adjacent spaces, we’re not looking to expand geographic scope or staying in markets we know where we’ve got a right to win and we’re acquiring enhancements to our product portfolio and electronics and mechanical and complementary software and feel real good about it. So I think you can again, you can look for us to continue to be acquisitive, but continue to be disciplined like we’ve shown.

Jeff Sprague, Analyst, Vertical Research: And then, I guess discipline also includes the element of price paid and I kind of appreciate like each individual deal it’s hard for me to press Josh or Mike for like specifics on multiples and all that. But is there a way to just step back and sort of collectively say, you gave us the dollars deployed, right on a year to date basis, kind of what the average multiple has been and when you think about the synergies kind of what the forward multiple would be looking out kind of twelve twenty four months as you integrate these things?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Yes, Jeff, it’s a good question, very fair question. I think we’ve had some commentary around this in past quarters. So on the mechanical side, if we’re expanding our mechanical portfolio, you would see something in the high single digit EBITDA multiple would be a fair approximation on the higher growth electronics and software, you’re going to see a bit of a higher multiple there because expecting higher growth and higher longer term returns.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Jeff, maybe also to help you out. The biggest acquisition is Elletek. Clearly, that is the lion’s share. So we gave that information when we released the when we made the acquisition and we issued the press release. You could see that and you get at least a pretty good idea of all the acquisitions, what’s the biggest piece there from a multiple paid.

Joe Ritchie, Analyst, Goldman Sachs: Got it. Thank you.

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Thank you.

Conference Operator: The next question comes from Tomo Sano with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Hello, everyone.

Josh Pokowinski, Vice President of Investor Relations, Allegion: Hi, Thomas.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Hi. I’d like to ask you about the residential outlook for Q4 in America. So the residential revenue improved to up mid single digit in Q3 and you mentioned no clear signs of the recovery of the market for 2026. But how would you see the residential segment performing in Q4? Could you share your current market outlook and also the new product contributions, especially for electronics in Q4, please?

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes. Great question, Tomo. As we talked about in the prepared remarks, residential was mid single and much stronger than market. Market for resi is soft.

Conference Operator: We have lost connection with our main speaker line. Please wait while we reconnect.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Hello?

Josh Pokowinski, Vice President of Investor Relations, Allegion: Hello?

Conference Operator: We’ve lost connection with our speakers. Please wait while we reconnect.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes. Hi, this is Mike. The team is back on. Tomo, to answer your question on the residential, I apologize, we had some phone difficulties there.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Overall No problem, Mike. Yes, please. Yes, could repeat that again your answers please? Thank you.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yes, happy to. I apologize about that. So overall market demand for residential is soft. It’s been that way for a while. In the third quarter, we did have that benefit associated with the new product introductions, the e locks.

That was the ArriveLock that we talked about on the first quarter earnings call, we launched it in the third quarter and we had the benefit. As I said on the prepared remarks, overall think of market demand consistent with year to date growth rates for residential, which is down slightly. So as you think about the fourth quarter, we would not expect a mid single digit positive growth. We would expect it more in line with market demand, which is that softer non residential market that we’re in. Soft residential.

I’m sorry, Thank you.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Thank you. And my follow-up question is on tariffs and pricing. So you have demonstrated strong pricing power in Agility and managing a tariff related cost pressures. And are you seeing any signs of pricing fatigue or customer weakness? And how would you see the other market players reacting for pricing in the market please?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Tomo, this is John. I would say I appreciate the comment. And yes, I think our teams and our customers have collectively responded well to the inflationary nature of the tariffs. I think our industry as a whole has moved up with price realization. And I’d say just as Mike said in the prepared comments as inflationary pressures continue we stand ready to cover demand environment in non res as we mentioned is good.

It’s healthy. Non res is humming along pretty well. So haven’t yet seen something that we would call fatigue.

Tomo Sano, Analyst, JPMorgan: Thank you, Joe and Mike. That’s all from me.

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Thank you. Thanks.

Conference Operator: We have one final question in our queue today. The next question comes from Tim White of Baird. Please go ahead.

Tim White, Analyst, Baird: Hey, everybody. Good morning. Maybe just the first one, I’m kind of thinking bigger picture about kind of spec and spec writing and just kind of content within the spec. John, how would you kind of compare the content in the spec that you’re kind of writing today versus maybe what you were doing three years ago? And I’m just trying to kind of get at how that specs evolving particularly as you kind of have done some of the I’d say ancillary product kind of M and A over the last couple of years?

John Stone, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allegion: Question. I appreciate you asking. I would say Tim a couple of things come to mind in terms of spec content. We’re seeing electronics adoption accelerate and that’s evident in our specs and I think evident in the electronics growth numbers that we’ve been showing lately. So very pleased with that.

And I think the new product launches that we’ve been doing in non res in particular are paying dividends there. I would also say we’re starting to see it would be very small but starting to see even opportunities to spec in some of complementary software that we’ve developed organically into like a multifamily application. So that’s very exciting for us to see as well. In terms of the new acquisitions several of them if you talk non res Americas like Krieger Specialty Products hand in glove fit with our spec engine. And we’re excited to see the growth there because if you recall brought products that we didn’t have in our hollow metal portfolio high margin fast growing niche products that we’re finding great opportunities to spec into new customers even.

So really good fit. Another good example from this year would be Trimco, makes high end specialty hardware for commercial applications. If you had polled channel customers of ours for the last couple of years, they would highlight something like Atremco as one of the best acquisition targets for Allegion to go after. So really excited to have that team on board with us. And it’s again, it fits right into the spec engine.

So we’re happy to see that momentum.

Tim White, Analyst, Baird: Okay. Okay. That’s great to hear. And then maybe just on the modeling side, just in international, kind of the opposite of Julian’s question on PPII, that foot negative this quarter. Is that just a timing consideration?

Or is there anything kind of to read in there around price productivity and inflation?

Mike Wagnus, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Allegion: Yeah. If you think about margins in international, good performance this quarter. It was slightly negative on the PPII. On a year to date basis though, Tim, think of it as it’s negative like a million bucks if you add up to three quarters. So it’s essentially covered.

And look for us in international to cover that inflationary pressure. So I wouldn’t look too much into the third quarter at all. Look at the year to date rate and you get an idea. We’re doing a pretty good job there.

Josh Pokowinski, Vice President of Investor Relations, Allegion: Okay. Sounds good. Good luck on

Tim White, Analyst, Baird: the rest of the year guys.
