Earnings Call Summary
Allegion delivered $1.04 billion in first quarter revenue, up 9.7 percent year over year, driven by the Americas nonresidential business and acquisitions. However, organic revenue grew only 2.6 percent because of an unexpected ERP implementation failure in a European mechanical business that hurt both volume and margins. Management said production rates are improving and it expects to recover the lost sales over the rest of the year, while also managing inflationary pressures from tariffs and other input costs through price increases and cost actions.
Guidance Allegion raised its reported revenue outlook to 6 percent to 8 percent growth for the year because of the DCI acquisition it closed in March. The company reaffirmed its organic revenue growth outlook of 2 percent to 4 percent and earnings per share guidance of $8.70 to $8.90. Management expects tariff and inflation headwinds of about 1 percent of cost of goods, but plans to offset these through pricing and cost actions that should be neutral to full year earnings.
Severe negative reset. The report materially damaged the forward outlook and likely forces major downward revisions.
