Americas

• Americas adjusted operating income was $227.4 million, up 2.9%, but adjusted operating margins declined 110 basis points. ²

International

• International segment revenue: $223.7 million, up 21.5% reported, but down 5.3% organically. ³
• The organic revenue decline was driven by volume weaknesses in mechanical businesses, tied to ERP disruptions described in prepared remarks. ³

• In Q&A, management added the ERP issue was execution-related rather than demand-related, stating orders/backlog support recovery and that the production problem reflects slowdowns in adapting to new workflows in a highly customized legacy environment. ⁴⁵⁶

One-sentence summary

In Q1 2026, Allegion delivered nearly 10% reported revenue growth and 2.6% organic revenue growth, but adjusted EPS declined and margins fell due mainly to ERP-driven mechanical disruption in International (partially offset by pricing, electronics resilience, and acquisitions), while the company combined dividends and buybacks and raised reported revenue guidance while affirming organic growth and EPS outlook. ²³¹⁷
