Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE), a leading global provider of security products and solutions, today reported first-quarter 2016 net revenues of $502.3 million and net earnings of $57.7 million, or $0.60 per share from continuing operations. Excluding charges related to restructuring and acquisitions, adjusted net earnings were $59.2 million, or $0.61 per share, up 19.6 percent when compared with first-quarter 2015 adjusted EPS of $0.51.
First-quarter net revenues increased 9.5 percent, when compared to the prior year period (up 3.6 percent on an organic basis). Reported revenues reflect positive organic growth and contribution from acquisitions that were partially offset by divestitures and foreign currency. The business continued to benefit from the growth of electronic products driven by electro-mechanical convergence.
The Americas segment revenue increased 2.5 percent (up 3.4 percent on an organic basis). Improved pricing and high-single digit volume growth in residential products offset unfavorable foreign currency. Non-residential revenue grew low-single digits despite timing delays due to an ERP implementation at one of the company’s primary manufacturing locations.
“Market demand in the Americas has been in line with our full-year guidance as reflected in strong first-quarter orders and backlog,” said David D. Petratis, Allegion chairman, president and CEO. “The timing of orders accelerated in the quarter during the implementation of a new operating system, and we’ve quickly made the necessary enhancements to improve throughput. I am confident about the ongoing implementation and our ability to achieve the 2016 targets.”
The EMEIA segment revenues increased 45 percent (up 3.3 percent on an organic basis), reflecting acquisitions, improved pricing and stable markets that more than offset unfavorable foreign currency. Acquisitions contributed more than $36 million in revenue in the quarter.
The Asia Pacific segment revenues were down 8.4 percent, when compared to the prior year period (up 8 percent on an organic basis). Excluding Bocom Wincent, organic growth was up 14.3 percent. The strong growth in mechanical and electronic hardware products and favorable contribution from acquisitions were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency and the impact of the divestiture in the prior year.
First-quarter adjusted operating margin was 16.8 percent, compared with 16.4 percent in 2015. The 40-basis-point improvement in adjusted operating margin was driven by favorable price and productivity that more than offset increased investments, inflation and product mix. All regions delivered adjusted operating margin improvement in the quarter.
“We are off to a good start in 2016 and remain focused on the execution of our growth strategies as well as capitalizing on capital allocation opportunities to deliver long-term shareholder value,” Petratis added. “We continue to operate well in favorable U.S. construction markets, are building a culture of success in Europe and transforming our Asia business with a focus on electronic and mechanical hardware.”
Additional Items
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $4.7 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to the issuance of $300 million of senior notes completed in 2015.
Other income net for the first quarter of 2016 was $8.8 million, which includes contributions from the sale of non-strategic marketable securities and a one-time benefit from equity investments. Other expense net for the first quarter of 2015 was $3.1 million, which reflected a Venezuelan asset re-measurement charge of $2.8 million. Excluding the prior year charge, other income increased $9.1 million versus the prior year.
The company's adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 21.8 percent. The company continues to guide a full-year effective tax rate between 18 and 19 percent inclusive of the higher first quarter rate that reflects the timing of certain tax positions.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Year-to-date 2016 available cash flow was negative $8.2 million, down $3.4 million versus the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in available cash flow primarily reflects increased operating cash requirements, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.
The company ended first-quarter 2016 with cash of $125.5 million and total debt of $1,496 million. The company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its $500 million revolving credit facility at March 31, 2016.
Share Repurchase
During the first quarter of 2016, the company repurchased approximately 0.5 million shares for approximately $30 million related to the $200 million share repurchase program approved by the company's board of directors in February 2014.
2016 Outlook
The company affirms full-year 2016 revenue guidance reflecting total growth of 7 to 8 percent and organic growth of 4 to 5 percent compared to 2015.
The company also affirms full-year 2016 reported EPS to be in the range of $3.15 to $3.35, or $3.25 to $3.40 per share on an adjusted basis. Adjustments to 2016 EPS include estimated impacts for known restructuring and acquisition activities. The guidance assumes a full-year adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 18 to 19 percent from continuing operations, as well as an average diluted share count for the full year of approximately 97 million shares.
The company continues to target full-year available cash flow of approximately $280 to $300 million.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS | ||
(in millions, except per share data) | ||
| The Company has presented revenue, operating income, operating margin, earnings from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations, on both a U.S. GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis and presented adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin because the Company's management believes it may assist investors in evaluating the Company's on-going operations. Adjustments to revenue, operating income, operating margin, earnings and diluted EPS from continuing operations and EBITDA include items that are considered to be unusual or infrequent in nature such as goodwill impairment charge, restructuring charges, asset impairments, merger and acquisition costs, charges related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar and charges related to the divestitures of businesses. | ||
| The Company considers these items unrelated to its core, on-going operating performance, and believes the use of these non-GAAP measures allows comparison of operating results that are consistent over time. The Company believes these non-GAAP disclosures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business. Investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures as alternatives to the related GAAP measures. | ||
