NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements of Allegion plc, an Irish public limited company, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Allegion" or the "Company"), reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Allegion Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In 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. ASC 606 allows entities to adopt the standard on either 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 impact of adopting the new standards was not material to the Company’s Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements at January 1, 2018 or for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018, and no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded to opening retained earnings. Expanded disclosure as required by the new standards is presented within Note 17 to the Condensed and 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 is 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 are required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 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 adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Condensed and 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 Company has applied ASU 2017-07 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 Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not have a material impact on the Condensed and 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. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2018. The amendments in this update have been applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118". The overarching purpose of ASU 2018-05 is to codify the guidance issued by the SEC related to income tax accounting implications due to the comprehensive U.S. tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 (the "Tax Reform Act"), as originally discussed within Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118) within ASC 740, Income Taxes. SAB 118, and now ASC 740 provide 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. 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. At December 31, 2017, the Company 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. On April 2, 2018, IRS Notice 2018-28 was issued to provide guidance to assist taxpayers in complying with providing transition guidance related to interest limitation carryforwards recorded at the enactment date. Management is in process of evaluating IRS Notice 2018-28 and assessing its impact on the provisional valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 2017. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, an adjustment resulting in a $3.3 million tax benefit was made to the provisional amounts previously recognized related to the Tax Reform Act, primarily relating to clarified guidance received during the quarter around the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The Company will continue to analyze impacts from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act on its Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements, and any additional impacts will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as provided for in SAB 118, which extends up to one year from the enactment date.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases)", which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of ASU 2016-02, and ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements", which provides adopters an additional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply ASU 2016-02, and subsequent related standards, at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. These ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of updating its systems, policies, and internal controls over financial reporting in anticipation of adopting these standards on January 1, 2019. The Company will utilize the new cumulative-effect adjustment transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11. The Company also currently anticipates electing the following practical expedients available within these standards:

ALLEGION PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)


•	The Company will elect to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.


•	If at the lease commencement date a lease has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company will elect not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements. Nonetheless, the Company intends to include leases of less than 12 months within the updated footnote disclosures.


•	If the Company enters into a large number of leases in the same month with the same terms and conditions, these will be looked at as a group (portfolio) assuming the lease model under this approach will not materially differ from applying to each individual lease.


•	If available, the rate implicit in the lease will be used as the discount rate. However, if this is not available, the Company will use it's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate, defined as the weighted average rate of total outstanding debt, gross of any hedging contracts.


•	As the Company will apply the new transition method allowed per ASU 2018-11, the Company will elect to not reassess arrangements entered into prior than January 1, 2019 for whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, the lease classification applied, or to separate initial direct costs.

The Company is continuing to assess what the complete impact these ASUs and the related practical expedients will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company anticipates that adoption will result in the recognition of a significant right-of-use asset and lease liability on its Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to processes and internal controls to meet the new standards' reporting and disclosure requirements have been identified and are being implemented. Software has been implemented that will assist in the recognition of the right-to-use asset and lease liability to be included on the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets related to leases currently classified as operating leases with durations greater than twelve months, with certain allowable exceptions. The Company is in the process of reviewing its lease portfolio, as well as other agreements not currently classified as leases, for embedded leases and to ensure appropriate classification and disclosure under the new standards.

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

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The new guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) as a result of the Tax Reform Act. ASU 2018-02 provides this option not only for the impact to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction in the U.S. tax rate, but also for tax effects stranded in AOCI for other reasons specific to the Tax Reform Act, such as state taxes or transitioning to a territorial tax system. Tax effects that are stranded in AOCI for reasons not relating to the Tax Reform Act may not be reclassified under ASU 2018-02. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities that adopt the ASU in an annual or interim period after the period of enactment are able to choose whether to apply the amendments retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Reform Act is recognized or to apply the amendments in the period of adoption. The Company is assessing what impact ASU 2018-02 will have on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including removing certain previous disclosure requirements, adding certain new disclosure requirements, and modifying certain other disclosure requirements. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 on October 1, 2018. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The new guidance modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, including removing certain previous disclosure requirements, adding certain new disclosure requirements, and clarifying certain other disclosure requirements. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-14 on October 1, 2018. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Note 6 – Acquisitions and Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

2018

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed six acquisitions:



Business		Date
Technical Glass Products, Inc. ("TGP")		January 2018
Hammond Enterprises, Inc. ("Hammond")		January 2018
Qatar Metal Industries LLC ("QMI")		February 2018
AD Systems, Inc. ("AD Systems")		March 2018
Gainsborough Hardware and API Locksmiths ("Door and Access Systems")		July 2018
ISONAS Security Systems, Inc. ("ISONAS")		July 2018

In January 2018, the Company acquired 100% of TGP through one of its subsidiaries.

In July 2018, the Company acquired Door and Access Systems, based in Australia, through one of its subsidiaries. This business includes the brands Gainsborough Hardware, the market-leading residential door hardware brand in Australia, and API Locksmiths, which serves the Australian market with its keying, installation and access control services. Door and Access Systems has been integrated into the Company's Asia Pacific segment.

In July 2018, the Company acquired 100% of ISONAS through one of its subsidiaries. ISONAS designs and manufactures edge-computing technology that produces Power over Ethernet access control solutions for non-residential end-markets. ISONAS has been integrated into the Company's Americas segment.

Total consideration paid for these six acquisitions to date was approximately $368 million (net of cash acquired). The Company estimates the fair value of future consideration to be paid, including contingent consideration, to be approximately $6 million. Cash on hand and $75 million of borrowings on the Revolving Facility in July, which has since been repaid, were utilized to fund these acquisitions. The preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions described above is as follows:



In millions
Accounts receivable, net	$	29.8
Inventories	28.7
Other current assets	1.3
Property, plant and equipment, net	27.6
Goodwill	132.5
Intangible assets, net	204.3
Other noncurrent assets	0.9
Accounts payable	(11.1		)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(35.2		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(4.7		)
Total consideration	$	374.1

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

Goodwill results from several factors including Allegion-specific synergies that were excluded from the cash flow projections used in the valuation of intangible assets and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, for example, assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocations for the acquisitions are pending completion of valuations. These acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if these acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2017:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company also made $8 million of investments in three unconsolidated entities, Yonomi Inc., a U.S. based mobile application and cloud platform provider for connected living, Nuki GmbH, a European retrofit residential smart lock innovator, and Conneqtech, a European based IoT platform developer specializing in connected mobility and tracking features for bicycles and healthcare. These investments are accounted for using the equity method.

2017

In January 2017, the Company acquired Republic Doors & Frames, LLC ("Republic") through one of its subsidiaries. This acquisition did not have a material impact on the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2017, iDevices LLC, including the Company's equity investment, was acquired by a third party. The Company recorded a cumulative gain of $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 within Other income, net (see Note 14).

Unsecured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has an unsecured Credit Agreement in place that provides for up to $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities mature on September 12, 2022 and are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an unsecured basis by the Company and Allegion US Holding Company Inc. ("Allegion US Hold Co"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022. The Company repaid $26.3 million of principal on its Term Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $0.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility and $17.2 million of letters of credit outstanding.

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest, at the option of the Company of (i) a LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.125% to 1.500% depending on the Company's credit ratings. At September 30, 2018, the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.250%. To manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in LIBOR rates, the Company has interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate for $250.0 million of the outstanding borrowings (see Note 8).

The Credit Facilities contain negative and affirmative covenants and events of default that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company's ability to enter into certain transactions. In addition, the Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio, as defined within the agreement. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Notes

As of September 30, 2018, Allegion US Hold Co has $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million outstanding of its 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes” and, together with the 3.200% Senior Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2027, respectively.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Allegion US Hold Co and rank equally with all of Allegion US Hold Co’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee of the Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of the Company and ranks equally with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The weighted average interest rate for borrowings was 3.24% under the Credit Facilities (including the effect of interest rate swaps), 3.200% under the 3.200% Senior Notes and 3.550% under the 3.550% Senior Notes at September 30, 2018.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments

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

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

ALLEGION PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

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

The Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be an effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), while changes in the fair market value of derivatives not deemed to be an effective hedge are recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective subsequent to inception, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.

Currency Hedging Instruments

The gross notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $74.2 million and $57.7 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, gains of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, net of tax, were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Company’s currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $0.3 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At September 30, 2018, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was less than one year.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate paid during the contract period for $250.0 million of the Company's variable rate Term Facility. These interest rate swaps expire in September 2020 and 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, gains of $5.4 million and $3.5 million, net of tax, were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these interest rate swaps. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of approximately $2 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

The fair values of derivative instruments included within the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:



	Asset derivatives				Liability derivatives

Concentration of Credit Risk

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

Note 9 – Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

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

Pension Plans

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

The Company made employer contributions of $6.6 million and $56.0 million (of which $50.0 million was discretionary) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans. Additional contributions of approximately $4 million are expected during the remainder of 2018.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company sponsors a postretirement plan that provides for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits, that cover certain eligible retired employees. The Company funds postretirement benefit obligations principally on a pay-as-you- go basis. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. Net periodic postretiremenet benefit cost (income) is included within Other income, net within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurement

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


•	Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

ALLEGION PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)


•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

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

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2018 were as follows:

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


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


•	Foreign currency contracts – These instruments include foreign currency contracts for non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. The fair value of the foreign currency contracts is determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.


•	Deferred compensation and other retirement plans - These include obligations related to deferred compensation and other retirement plans adjusted for market performance. The fair value is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.


•	Debt – These instruments are recorded at cost and include senior notes maturing through 2027. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.

The carrying values of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and Other current liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2018 are the same as those used at December 31, 2017. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

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

Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense is included in Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses. The expenses recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:



	Three months ended						Nine months ended
In millions	2018			2017			2018			2017
Stock options	$	1.0		$	0.7		$	3.9		$	2.7

Tax benefit	(1.0		)	(1.5		)	(1.9		)	(5.0		)
After-tax expense	$	4.3		$	2.9		$	15.5		$	10.1

Stock Options/RSUs

Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. Grants issued during the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:



	2018			2017
	Number granted	Weighted- average fair value per award		Number granted	Weighted- average fair value per award
Stock options	160,849	$	21.29	165,113	$	18.22
RSUs	121,928	$	84.86	119,695	$	73.37

The fair value of each of the Company's stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date.

The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the nine months ended September 30:



	2018		2017
Dividend yield	0.97	%	0.89	%
Volatility	22.38	%	24.93	%
Risk-free rate of return	2.75	%	2.08	%
Expected life	6.0 years		6.0 years

Expected volatility is based on the weighted average of the implied volatility of a group of the Company’s peers. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical peer data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company’s valuation model.

ALLEGION PLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards is derived from the simplified approach based on the weighted average time to vest and the remaining contractual term and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

Performance Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program ("PSP") for key employees which provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.1 million shares.

In February 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Company’s Compensation Committee granted PSUs that were earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by earnings per share ("EPS") performance in relation to pre-established targets set by the Compensation Committee, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return ("TSR") against the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index over a three-year performance period. The fair values of the market conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates of return and correlation matrix.

Deferred Compensation

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

Note 13 – Restructuring Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $2.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of expenses associated with restructuring activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $4.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of expenses associated with restructuring activities. These expenses are included within Cost of goods sold and Selling and administrative expenses within the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The changes in the restructuring reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Note 14 – Other Income, Net

The components of Other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

Other income, net	$	(1.9	)	$	(2.7	)	$	(3.9	)	$	(5.6	)

Other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily related to Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit income, less service cost, and foreign currency exchange gains.

Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily related to a gain of $2.9 million related to a legal entity liquidation. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also included a cumulative gain of $5.3 million from the sale of an equity method investment. These gains were partially offset by Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost.

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 10.8% and 19.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2017 is primarily due to the favorable impact of the Tax Reform Act, including the reduction of the US statutory tax rate and the adjustment recorded to provisional tax amounts previously recognized (see Note 2). The decrease in the effective tax rate is also driven by the year over year change in the recognition of uncertain tax positions, and changes in the mix of income earned in lower rate jurisdictions.

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 13.1% and 16.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to 2017 is primarily due to the favorable impact of the Tax Reform Act, changes in taxes accrued on unremitted earnings and changes in the mix of income earned in lower rate jurisdictions. The favorable impact is partially offset by unfavorable year over year changes in the recognition of both uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances.

Note 16 – 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 following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30:



	Three months ended		Nine months ended
In millions	2018	2017	2018	2017
Weighted-average number of basic shares	95.1	95.0	95.1	95.2
Shares issuable under incentive stock plans	0.7	0.8	0.7	0.8
Weighted-average number of diluted shares	95.8	95.8	95.8	96.0

At September 30, 2018, 0.1 million stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 17 – Net Revenues

Net revenues are recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligations under the terms of a contract. Generally, this occurs when control of a product or service transfers to a customer. Transfer of control typically occurs when goods are shipped from our facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms). Net revenues are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement and fixed or determinable price 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 existence of an enforceable claim that requires payment within a reasonable amount of time is validated and the collectability of that claim is assessed. 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. Service and installation revenues 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 do not adjust the transaction price 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’s payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which their businesses operate.

The Company has two principal revenue streams, tangible product sales and services. Approximately 99% of consolidated Net revenues involve contracts with a single performance obligation, the shipment of tangible products. The remaining Net revenues involve services including installation and consulting. Unlike the single performance obligation to ship a tangible product, the service revenue stream delays revenue recognition until the service performance obligation is satisfied.

Net revenues for tangible product sales and services by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

(a)	The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and related updates as of January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis, and as such, amounts presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are based on ASC 605.

Tangible product sales are recognized at a point in time at which transfer of control has occurred. Service revenues are recognized over time using a time-based output method applied over the contract term beginning on the date that the service or installation is either provided or made available to the customer. We used the practical expedients to omit the disclosure of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and for contracts where we have the right to invoice for performance completed to date. As of September 30, 2018, the contract liability associated with contract revenue is not material. As a practical expedient, we recognize 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. We do not have any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized under ASC 606.

The Company does offer various sales incentive programs to customers, dealers, and distributors that do not preclude revenue recognition, but do require an accrual for the best estimate of expected activity. These items are accrued for over time based on the Company's historical rates of providing these incentives and annual forecasted sales volumes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were recorded. 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. 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. The Company also offers a standard warranty with most product sales and the value of such warranty is included in the contractual price. The corresponding cost of the warranty obligation is accrued as a liability (see Note 19).

Sales, value-added and other similar taxes that we collect are excluded from revenue. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related goods transfers as fulfillment activities instead of performance obligations.

Note 18 – Business Segment Information

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

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

Note 19 – Commitments and Contingencies

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

Environmental Matters

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

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.5 million of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $1.7 million and $2.0 million of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the Company.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $24.1 million and $28.9 million, respectively. The total reserve at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, included $6.7 million and $8.9 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 based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $6.4 million and $12.6 million, respectively, and the remainder is classified as noncurrent. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Warranty Liability

Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.

The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented.

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by 16.8%, or $102.1 million, compared with the same period in 2017, which resulted from the following:



Pricing	2.2	%
Volume	6.3	%
Acquisitions	9.0	%
Currency exchange rates	(0.7	)%
Total	16.8	%

The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes, improved pricing and acquisitions during the current year partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Operating Income/Margin

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $15.2 million compared to the same period in 2017 and operating margin for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased to 20.0% from 20.9% for the same period in 2017 due to the following:



in millions	Operating Income			Operating Margin
September 30, 2017	$	127.1		20.9	%
Inflation in excess of pricing and productivity	(1.9		)	(0.8	)%
Volume / product mix	15.3			1.1	%
Restructuring / acquisition expenses	1.8			0.3	%
Currency exchange rates	0.2			0.2	%
Investment spending	(3.2		)	(0.5	)%
Acquisitions	3.0			(1.2	)%
September 30, 2018	$	142.3		20.0	%

Table of Contents

Operating income increased primarily due to favorable volume/product mix, decreased restructuring and acquisition expenses, favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements and acquisitions during the current year. These increases were partially offset by inflation in excess of pricing and productivity and increased investment spending.

Operating margin decreased primarily due to inflation in excess of pricing and productivity, increased investment spending, and lower margins from acquisitions during the current year. These decreases were partially offset by favorable volume/product mix, decreased restructuring and acquisition expenses, and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $3.8 million compared with the same period in 2017 primarily due to lower interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness due to the refinancing of our Credit Facilities, issuance of two new senior notes and redemption of two previously outstanding senior notes in the third and fourth quarters of 2017. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 also included approximately $1.6 million of non-recurring costs associated with the refinancing of the Credit Facilities.

Other Income, Net

The components of Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:



In millions	2018			2017
Interest income	$	(0.4	)	$	(0.3	)
Foreign currency exchange gain	(0.8		)	(0.1		)
Earnings from and gains on the sale of equity investments	—			(0.1		)
Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit (income) cost, less service cost	(0.7		)	1.0
Other	—			(3.2		)
Other income, net	$	(1.9	)	$	(2.7	)

Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was lower by $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2017, due to a gain of $2.9 million related to a legal entity liquidation during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that did not recur during the current year. This decrease was partially offset by Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit income, less service cost of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost of $1.0 million for the same period of 2017.

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by 13.7%, or $244.2 million, compared with the same period in 2017, which resulted from the following:



Pricing	1.6	%
Volume	4.2	%
Acquisitions	6.4	%
Currency exchange rates	1.5	%
Total	13.7	%

The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes, improved pricing, acquisitions during the current year, and favorable foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Table of Contents

Operating income increased primarily due to favorable volume/product mix, foreign currency exchange rate movements and acquisitions during the current year. These increases were partially offset by inflation in excess of pricing and productivity, restructuring and acquisition expenses and increased investment spending.

Operating margin decreased primarily due to inflation in excess of pricing and productivity, increased investment spending and lower margins from acquisitions during the current year. These decreases were partially offset by favorable volume/product mix.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $9.4 million compared with the same period in 2017 primarily due to lower interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness due to the refinancing of our Credit Facilities, issuance of two new senior notes and redemption of two previously outstanding senior notes in the third and fourth quarters of 2017. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also included approximately $1.6 million of non-recurring costs associated with the refinancing of the Credit Facilities.

Other Income, Net

The components of Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:



In millions	2018			2017
Interest income	$	(0.7	)	$	(0.6	)
Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss	(1.0		)	0.4
Earnings from and gains on the sale of equity investments	(0.1		)	(4.7		)
Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit (income) cost, less service cost	(2.3		)	2.6
Other	0.2			(3.3		)
Other income, net	$	(3.9	)	$	(5.6	)

Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was lower by $1.7 million compared to the same period in 2017, due to a cumulative gain of $5.3 million from the sale of an equity method investment during the prior year and a gain of $2.9 million related to a legal entity liquidation during the three months ended September 30, 2017, neither of which were recurring during the current year. These decreases were partially offset by Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit income, less service cost of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, less service cost of $2.6 million for the same period of 2017.

Review of Business Segments

We operate in and report financial results for three segments: Americas, EMEIA, and Asia Pacific. These segments represent the level at which our chief operating decision maker reviews our financial performance and makes operating decisions.

Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that our chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews, and compensation. For these reasons, we believe that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. Our chief operating decision maker may exclude certain charges or gains, such as corporate charges and other special charges from Operating income, 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 Net revenues.

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

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 nine months ended September 30. For additional details, see the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.



In millions	2018			2017
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	260.4		$	170.0
Net cash used in investing activities	(408.7		)	(36.1		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(116.9		)	(118.7		)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $90.4 million compared to the same period in 2017. This increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to higher Net earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and a discretionary $50.0 million contribution to the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2017, partially offset by changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $372.6 million compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to approximately $368 million of cash payments related to acquisitions and approximately $8 million of investments in unconsolidated entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to just $20.8 million for an acquisition during the same period in 2017. Additionally contributing to the increase in cash used in investing activities was the sale of an equity investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which resulted in an investing cash inflow of $15.5 million that did not recur in the current year.

Financing Activities

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to $30.0 million less used to repurchase shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. This decrease is partially offset by an increase in dividend payments of $14.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Capitalization

Less current portion of long-term debt	35.0			35.0
Total long-term debt	$	1,417.7		$	1,442.3

As of September 30, 2018, we have a Credit Agreement in place that provides for up to $1,200.0 million in unsecured financing, consisting of a $700.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities mature on September 12, 2022. The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates: 1.25% per quarter starting December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020, 2.5% per quarter from March, 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022, with the balance due on September 12, 2022. The Revolving Facility provides aggregate commitments of up to $500.0 million, which includes up to $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 2018, we had $0.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Facility, and we had $17.2 million of letters of credit outstanding.

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

As of September 30, 2018, we also have $400.0 million outstanding of 3.200% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “3.200% Senior Notes”) and $400.0 million outstanding of 3.550% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.550% Senior Notes” and, together with the 3.200% Senior Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and will mature on October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2027, respectively.

Historically, the majority of our earnings were considered to be permanently reinvested in jurisdictions where we have made, and intend to continue to make, substantial investments to support the ongoing development and growth of our global operations. We are currently analyzing 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.

Pension Plans

Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. Global asset allocation decisions are based on a dynamic approach whereby a plan's allocation to fixed income assets increases as the funded status increases. We monitor plan funded status, asset allocation, and the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans regularly in addition to investment manager performance. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 9 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the third quarter of 2018. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
