DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global provider of security products and solutions, today reported first-quarter 2019 net revenues of $655 million and net earnings of $80.2 million, or $0.84 per share. Excluding charges related to restructuring and acquisitions, adjusted net earnings were $83.5 million, or $0.88 per share, up 10 percent when compared with first-quarter 2018 adjusted EPS of $0.80.
First-quarter net revenues increased 6.8 percent when compared to the prior-year period (up 5.8 percent on an organic basis). Reported revenues reflect solid organic growth, particularly in the Americas, as well as benefits from acquisitions that more than offset foreign currency impacts.
First-quarter 2019 operating income was $108 million, an increase of $9.3 million or 9.4 percent compared to 2018. Adjusted operating income in first-quarter 2019 was $112.1 million, representing an increase of $7.9 million or 7.6 percent compared to 2018.
First-quarter 2019 operating margin was 16.5 percent, compared with 16.1 percent in 2018. The adjusted operating margin in first-quarter 2019 was 17.1 percent, compared with 17 percent in 2018. The 10-basis-point increase in adjusted operating margin is attributable to strong price and volume leverage offsetting a combination of inflation, investment spending and regional mix driven by acquisitions.
“Allegion had a good start to 2019,” said David D. Petratis, Allegion chairman, president and CEO. “I am pleased with the solid top-line growth in the first quarter led by the Americas non-residential business, which continues to see strong end markets.
“I am also pleased with the 10-percent increase in adjusted EPS, as we drove margin expansion in all regions, even with significant carryover inflationary pressures. The team did a nice job of driving price realization and productivity actions globally to propel the increase in year-over-year margins,” Petratis added.
The Americas segment revenues increased 8.2 percent (up 7.6 percent on an organic basis). The revenue growth was driven by strong pricing and volume, particularly in the non-residential business, which saw low double-digit growth. The Americas residential business growth was flat in the quarter.
The EMEIA segment revenues were down 4.9 percent (up 1.7 percent on an organic basis), reflecting unfavorable foreign currency effects, partially offset by modest organic growth and contributions from acquisitions.
The Asia-Pacific segment revenues increased 55.3 percent (down 2.2 percent on an organic basis). The revenue growth in the quarter was driven by the 2018 acquisition of the Gainsborough business and was partially offset by organic revenue decline as well as unfavorable currency effects. The organic revenue decline was the result of a $1.5 million transfer of revenue previously managed in Asia Pacific that’s now managed in the Americas and EMEIA regions.
Additional Items
Interest expense for first-quarter 2019 was $13.7 million, up from $12.9 million for first-quarter 2018.
Other income net for first-quarter 2019 was $1.1 million, compared to $0.4 million in the same period of 2018.
The company’s effective tax rate for first-quarter 2019 was 15.8 percent, compared with 16 percent in 2018. The company’s adjusted effective tax rate for first-quarter 2019 was 16 percent, compared with 16.2 percent in 2018.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Year-to-date 2019 available cash flow was negative $24.9 million, a decrease of $6.1 million versus the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in available cash flow is primarily due to higher working capital and increased capital expenditures, which were partially offset by increased earnings.
The company ended first-quarter 2019 with cash and cash equivalents of $153.8 million as well as total debt of $1,436.4 million.
Share Repurchase
During first-quarter 2019, the company repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares for approximately $63.8 million under its previously authorized share-repurchase program approved by the company's board of directors in February 2017.
2019 Outlook
The company is affirming its full-year 2019 revenue outlook of total and organic growth of 5 to 6 percent compared to 2018.
The company is affirming its full-year 2019 outlook for reported EPS in the range of $4.60 to $4.75, and adjusted EPS in the range of $4.75 to $4.90. Adjustments to 2019 EPS include estimated impacts for restructuring, along with acquisition and integration activities. The outlook assumes no change to investment spend, which continues to be approximately $0.15 per share; no change to the full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 16 percent; and an average diluted share count for the full year of approximately 95 million shares.
The company also affirms its full-year available cash flow outlook of approximately $430 to $450 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
This news release also includes adjusted non-GAAP financial information which should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company presents operating income, operating margin, net earnings and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, revenue growth on a U.S. GAAP basis and organic revenue growth on a non-GAAP basis, and adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin (both non-GAAP measures). The company presents these non-GAAP measures because management believes they provide useful perspective of the company’s underlying business results, trends and a more comparable measure of period-over-period results. These measures are also used to evaluate senior management and are a factor in determining at-risk compensation. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as alternatives to the related GAAP measures. Further information about the adjusted non-GAAP financial tables is attached to this news release.
