John Stone: Our spec activity has grown steadily over 2024 and year to date, 2025 driven by Broad and Market exposure and supports our Outlook.
John Stone: Residential markets have been soft thus far in 2025 with interest rates as the key swing Factor.
John Stone: We are increasing our organic outlook for the Americas, uh, to Mid single digits due to strength in the non-residential business as well as the inclusion of surcharge revenue from tariffs.
International markets. Have been largely unchanged year to date and we continue to expect roughly flat organic performance. However, we are updating the outlook for completed Acquisitions, as well as foreign currency changes resulting from the weaker US dollar.
John Stone: We now estimate approximately, 40 million dollars of tariffs surcharge Revenue in the Outlook. And as I noted earlier, this is included in our organic Revenue, Outlook in the Americas.
John Stone: We continue to expect tariffs to be neutral at the EPS level. As we shared with you in q1.
John Stone: As a result, we're raising our 2025 adjusted, EPS Outlook to 8, to 8, and 15 cents.
John Stone: Based on our strong, operational execution, thus far, in the year continued, strong demand and non-residential.
John Stone: A creative Acquisitions announced to date and updated foreign exchange rates.

John Stone: Please go to slide 12.
John Stone: In summary. I feel a legion is executing at a very high level while staying agile and steadily delivering on the long term commitments, we shared with you at our investor day.
John Stone: We've delivered strong performance. Led by an enduring business model in non-residential Americas, double digit Electronics growth and a creative Capital deployment as we acquire good businesses in markets where we have a right to win.
John Stone: I'm very proud of our team's performance in this Dynamic environment which gives us the confidence to raise our EPS outlook for the year. With that, we'll take the questions
Speaker Change: Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session to ask a question. You may press star then 1 on your touchtone phone, if you're using a speaker-phone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys in the interest of time, please limit yourself to 1 question and 1 follow-up. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question. Please press star. Then 2 this time we'll pause momentarily to assemble our roster.
Speaker Change: And our first question comes from Joe day from Wells Fargo, please go ahead.
Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my question.
Speaker Change: Um,
Speaker Change: yes, just a little bit of a 2-part question in terms of activity levels in non-res, in America's first just with the overall kind of tariff backdrop, any signs of pull forward that you saw in the quarter to get ahead of some of the pricing and then um, just bigger picture you touched on specification activity, that's up your date. Just what, what you saw in Q2 versus q1, um, any indications of elevated uncertainty and impacts on specification activity,
Speaker Change: Yeah, Joe. This is John, Let's uh, I think both really good really timely questions.
Speaker Change: And in, in terms of any abnormal ordering or, or pull ahead, because of tariffs, I would say, uh, no. Uh, we we look for that. We watch that we monitor sell through very closely and, and there's no evidence of that on the non-res side. Um,
Speaker Change: Project demand project work, um, for our customers. And and their customers, uh, is is how many along pretty well. Um, so we don't see evidence of of pull ahead on the spec activity like we shared last couple of quarters, uh, specs
Speaker Change: um, spec writing accelerated through 2024 that momentum has continued year to date 2025
Speaker Change: and I would say um continues to be strong uh continues to grow and and very much supports the Outlook.
Speaker Change: So there's, you know, there's new tariff news just about every week. Um but I think the the project activity and non-res is how many along pretty well.
Speaker Change: Perfect. And then um, wanted to touch on America's margin, uh, you know, really good in q1 uh and then subsequential growth off of that. Um, can you talk about the, the timing of price cost with tariffs? Because I think the framework was that could be a little bit of a headwind in Q2. Um, and then a little bit better in the back half of the year, if that's still the case for the lower tariff amount. And then just unpack, the, the mix that you saw in the quarter of the degree to which to which some of that doesn't continue into the back half. Or if that's just broadly kind of non-res mixed? That's favorable.
Speaker Change: Um, Joe, if you think about terrorists, when we met, uh, on the q1 call, we originally had an estimate out there of, uh, 80 million and we said there would be about a month lag.
Speaker Change: overall tariffs are about half of that because the, um,
uh, trade regulations have changed, right? So we've updated our assumptions to that 40 million for 2025.
Speaker Change: That month lag is still relevant. So you can think of that as you know, 5 million dollars a month.
Speaker Change: Uh, so if you think about for us, that's about a quarter of our total tariff re uh Revenue, we expect to uh recover in the second quarter with the remaining amount being uh rest of the year.
Speaker Change: Helps you understand how to kind of model that uh, on the top line. And obviously, when you think about fall through, uh, we would all set that at the operating income level on a neutral basis. As we, we've been discussing for for some time.
Speaker Change: uh, the second piece related to mix, um,
Speaker Change: I'll I'll kind of send you over to our 10 Q, where we outline, uh, the components of our, uh, operating income and margin Bridge. You'll see, we had favorable mix in the second quarter, uh, and the first half.
Speaker Change: Uh and that is a primarily the result of the non-residential growing as well as it is, right. Non-residential is a stronger more profitable business than the residential.
Speaker Change: If you think of rest of year, I would say, would be imprudent to assume in the Outlook that level of, um, margin expansion. So I wouldn't say we've included it, but I would say, we do expect non-residential to grow, uh, to be The Driver of growth in, in the back half of the year as well. That's the market. That's really humming as, uh, as John mentioned.
Speaker Change: Understood, thank you.
The next question comes from Jeff, sprig, from vertical research, please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Uh, hey thanks. Good morning. Um,
Also, just want to and I didn't get a chance to look at the queue yet, Mike, so I'll do that. But uh, just thinking about some of these moving pieces, right? Um, I would imagine deals are negative to margin rate and price cost parity on Sir, charges negative to to margin rate. Um so you know it is that uplift and solid looking margin performance all mixes there are some other kind of cost actions uh you know that are supporting that.
Speaker Change: Yeah. Uh, on the Enterprise level, uh obviously the segment margin performance in the second quarter was uh positive. You have the offset incorporated as I mentioned, in the case of the Americas, which I think is where you're going. Yeah, that's where I'm going. Yeah, yeah. You see that strong in, uh, incremental driven by mix. We did Cover, uh, price and productivity.
Speaker Change: um,
Speaker Change: did Cover the inflation and the Investments and the slight Tailwind from the transactional FX, which I talked about on the first quarter. So I think you have to remember that as well.
And then, as far as Acquisitions, you, got to look at them by regions. Um, they are, uh, creative and international, and they're, um, not enough to really call out either way for the Americas in the first half.
Speaker Change: That's a great thanks. Um, and then John just back to kind of market conditions. Um, you know, you are uh kind of later cycle. I mean, it sounds like from the spec activity, though. That stuff entering the pipeline, you know, is still reasonably positive, how do you? And I know we kind of talked about this before, but how do you square that relative to the weak Ai? And these you know, books like Sherwin Williams missing and things like that. I mean uh do you do you think you're gaining share or is there just some other Dynamic at play here?
Speaker Change: Uh, yeah. Jeff, it's, it's a good question. I, I think there's, uh, there's lots of factors going into that. I, I think, you know, the, the AI has been rather depressed for pretty much my entire tenure here with allegion. And I think, you know, the, uh,
Speaker Change: Project basis even and then you've got where a lot of projects went through. The planning phase, went through the design phase and and hit, pause waiting for some interest rate relief. You see now today, Jeff, you've got segments that have been depressed for a long time, like like commercial office, actually showing little signs of growth here and there, uh, particularly in major Metro areas where you're seeing. Tenant turnover, tenant fit out, starting to come back. Um, in, in places where it was really flatlined. I think you've got, um, a mix of end-user verticals where some might be depressed, some might be up. The institutional as we highlighted Healthcare education, in particular, um, have been hanging in there very well. Uh, a lot of work, uh, in in both of those verticals, uh, both from the spec activity, and from the project work. So, um, I think institutional has remained, um, quite positive data.
Speaker Change: Centers, of course, growing very nicely. It is small for us, but uh, growing nicely
And so you add all that together and and we're still seeing, you know, High single digital organic growth in uh non-res America's. I do feel uh that allegion is finding our way to gain some share, probably at the expense of the smaller players uh in the industry, not so much our largest competitor. Uh and that's just due to uh better supply chain performance, better operational performance in the factory. So we can really get a
Speaker Change: Compete for some more of the discretionary work. Uh, but all in all, I'd say Project work remains uh very healthy.
Speaker Change: Great. Thanks. I'll leave it there. Appreciate it.
Speaker Change: And the next question comes from Julian. Mitchell from Barclays. Please go ahead.
Julian Mitchell: Hi, good morning. Um maybe. Um first off um I just wanted to try and understand um that slide 18 is kind of very useful. Um
Julian Mitchell: maybe if you could help us with kind of, you know, of that EPS guide raise,
Julian Mitchell: Um, you know, 30 cents, plus or so, um, versus a few months ago, which is sort of the biggest, um, pieces there, um, sort of moved around and and maybe just clarify for us. What's, uh, embedded now for FX effects versus previous.
Julian Mitchell: Yeah, uh, thanks for the question, Julian. Um, first on the FX, uh, obviously there's been a big swing in currency rates. Uh, hitting our international business, the largest, you see it, impacting Top Line FX will fall to the bottom line based on uh, normal translational impact. So you can calculate that. But that is uh impacting uh Epps in addition, we put in the acquisitions.
Julian Mitchell: Uh, on the EPS side, right? And you can calculate what year to date, is we put that in the previous page and you see the full year, uh, on the page of 15 to 20 cents. So you have an idea between FX and, um,
Julian Mitchell: Acquisitions the increase of the raise associated with both of those.
Julian Mitchell: The last item. Uh, obviously the first half performance has been quite strong, so that's been a big driver in our operational income, operating income number. You see there on the the first bar.
Julian Mitchell: So those 3 items are the big drivers of the EPS race. This was not an EPS race where it's all back-end loaded. Um,
You know, it's those 3, big items that are driving the majority of it.
Julian Mitchell: That's helpful. Thank you. And, and maybe just on the more sort of operational, um, part of it homing in on that for a second. Um, you got a slight acceleration, I suppose in organic sales growth, dialed in for the second half, um, versus the first half performance, um, and that's really in the Americas.
Um, maybe sort of flesh out, you know, to what extent, that's kind of price versus volume driven or something in non-res versus res. Any sense of kind of, you know, why that second half is a little bit stronger than the um, first half.
Yeah, I would say on the um, tariff piece. The biggest item is what I discussed earlier. It's now included in the Outlook and you
Julian Mitchell: Full year outlook of 40 million. That's a point plus, as as you think about the Americas,
Julian Mitchell: Um and then as far as other accelerations, I would just say uh non-residential continues to be strong. Uh and we expected that to be the um driver of growth in the back half for us.
Julian Mitchell: Great. Thank you.
Julian Mitchell: And the next question comes from Brett Lindsay from mizuho. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning. Congrats on the quarter.
Speaker Change: Um yay. Wanted to revisit the the organic sales Outlook 1 more time here. So the, the 40 million search charge and and the revenue contribution, I, I guess. How did that compare relative to the original? Uh, expectation on a, on a netting basis? Were there any search charge roll backs? You had to do on the de-escalation and then or do you think you're pretty well covered for the, for the bouts of the year?
Speaker Change: Yeah we actually um have updated our search charge, not only in our estimates to you but even the announcements to our Channel partners and customers.
Speaker Change: So, as this moves, these search charges allow us to be flexible and agile to our customer base.
Speaker Change: And Brett continue to think of it as uh neutral. We're going to drive the surcharge to offset the inflationary pressures.
Speaker Change: And I think, uh, as you saw in the first quarter that, uh, price productivity, inflation investment for the Americas was was pretty close to that. So, um, it was break even so look for us to continue to drive that to offset it.
Uh, at the Enterprise level.
Speaker Change: Uh, such that, when you think of the full year, also expect, uh, ppii to be Break. Even to slightly positive at the Enterprise level.
Speaker Change: Okay, great and and then just on the acquisition side. So 4 additional here, encouraging to see, I know your long-term framework uh, Target the, the 3 points of annual acquired growth. Um, you know, certainly running ahead here, I guess as you look at the scope and the size of the pipeline, um, was there some pull forward on deals? You thought you, you you you know you had a shot on, um, or should we think of it, as, you know, maybe a little bit upside to that Target as we look out over the next, you know, 12 to 24 months,
Speaker Change: no, this is John Brett, appreciate the question and and I'd say you know, each acquisition takes on a life of its own certainly we had
Speaker Change: A several um, Acquisitions. That came to the point of uh closure in a pretty tight time window. Um, but if if you just take a look at elitech, I mean, that's a company. We've had our eye on for a long time and so, really excited to to bring that into, uh,
Speaker Change: The portfolio here, very excited to have them on the team.
Speaker Change: Um, you know, I I think our pipeline remains active, uh, in both of our segments and international and in the Americas, it remains active in mechanical as well as electronic products.
Speaker Change: So um looks very good. I I think our our team is is performing very well. I think our our integration muscle uh our Synergy capture is accelerating and I I think this will be a source of uh continued profitable growth for the company.
Speaker Change: All right, great. Thanks for the insight.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: And the next question comes from David McGregor, from Longboat research. Please go ahead.
Joe Nolan: Hi, good morning. This is Joe Nolan on for David.
Speaker Change: Hi Joe.
Speaker Change: Hi.
Speaker Change: I was just gonna ask um price costs, remain modestly positive in the quarter, just your view into the second half and what you're seeing with some of the different cost buckets, if you could talk through some of those thanks.
Speaker Change: Um, yeah. Thanks for the question as I mentioned earlier. Obviously there's going to be, uh, more, um, tariffs coming which we're going to offset with the associated revenue. And then, as you think about, uh, pricing actions look for us to continue to take, write the necessary actions to cover inflationary pressures. I try not to get into the details of um providing an outlook for any 1 individual item.
Speaker Change: But rather just say look for us in totality to cover that by a combination of uh, pricing and productivity covering the cost of pressure.
Speaker Change: To check on that. No, it's it's a fair question and I I'd say no um, project activity in the non-res space, uh, has has been strong, demand has been good, um, you know, as a, a business we operate predominantly in a short lead time made to order environment, um, book and ship kind of business, our our customers operate in a similar manner. Uh, and that's that's really the dynamic today. So I, I think Project work continues on, um,
Speaker Change: and I have not seen uh, that, uh, elasticity impact that you you asked about
Speaker Change: Great. Thank you.
Speaker Change: In the next question comes from tommo Sano from JP Morgan. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Hi, good morning everyone morning.
Tommo Sano: Um, thank you. So I'd like to, uh, ask you about the international business, uh, for the second half Outlook. Especially so you had, uh, volume decline, 3.2%, any changes that you see, uh, from the past the quarters and how do you see the flat ditch Market Outlook in a in a full year basis? Any things that uh we should look at, you know, take on a half for this business, please.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I would, I would just, uh, I know, I know you've been following us a little uh, less than maybe others on the call. So if you think of our business, our fourth quarter in international tends to be our strongest business. So as you think about modeling this, just take a look at the historic. Quarterly phasing for seasonality.
And then uh with respect to the Outlook, I would say uh still think the years, you know, around flat we talked about that q1 on our Outlook uh and at the beginning of the year and still expect full year to be roughly around uh that flat organic Outlook.
Speaker Change: Uh, obviously, uh, we have the benefit of currency rates and Acquisitions, which you need to make sure you take into account and and we give that detail as well.
Speaker Change: Yep, that that's very helpful. Thank you. And, uh, just follow up on the margin side on a international business. So, um, in terms of the, the Beast and Acquisitions accredited to, uh, margins, how should we think about the levels of the margins, from the recent acquisition into 2026, um, for International Business, If you have some thoughts of like, how it's actually exciting in terms of the margin inside of uh, dynasties please.
Yeah. The the biggest acquisition obviously elitech uh, that is uh margin and creative for international. We gave some details when we put out the earnings release where you can you can calculate that and see that you know, you're thinking mid 20s percent which is certainly a creative to International on that business. So as I think about margin rates on m&a for international, think of it, as a creative to the margin rate.
Speaker Change: All right. Thank you very much. That's all. Thanks tml.
Speaker Change: And as a reminder, if you have a question, please press star then 1.
Speaker Change: And our next question comes from Chris Schneider from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.
Chris Schneider: Thank you. Um, I just wanted to ask on price, um, you know, I I think the company in in April, um, was pushing sir charges for about 80 million of tariffs. Um, you know, obviously, um, you know, you guys are in a kind of now putting that number at 40 million so like is Q3 price effectively, lower than Q2 price and then Q Q2 came in in a plus 3% because of that roll back. Um, does any thoughts on you know that price trajectory intra quarter Q2 and then as we kind of go into the back half? Um, no uh, if you think about um, our tariffs think of 25% of the full year, so 25% of the 40 million will be in the second quarter.
Chris Schneider: and then the remaining 75% will be pretty even even over the last 6 months of the year, so that can kind of give you an idea of the Tariff Revenue
Speaker Change: Okay, so the company wasn't really realizing price on that, you know, on the search charges at the eighty million dollar level in in Q2. Yeah. Let me let me kind of walk this back for you. Chris, uh, we came out with the 80 million shortly thereafter, uh, the government changed their policy on what tariffs were. And we immediately adjusted what. We went to the marketplace and adjusted the search charge think of it. As number 1, we're going to offset it on a dollar basis.
Chris Schneider: And then I gave you the components for you to model it, uh, throughout the year.
Speaker Change: appreciate that and then, um, so if we kind of look at the guide, um, I guess it's up, you know, and, uh, 50 bits at the midpoint, uh, 4% organic from 2 and a half percent organic, um,
Speaker Change: Price is 1 1 point of that the 40 million and then I guess there's just like modestly better volumes in in in in some other piece of the business I guess. Where do you guys see the volumes getting better versus prior? Thank you.
Speaker Change: I I think it's fair to say non-residential uh as you think about this versus the beginning of the year, our non-residential business, in the Americas is uh performing quite well. Even better than we expected.
Speaker Change: Thank you, I appreciate that.
This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Johnstone for any closing remarks.
