NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States ("U.S."). The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis," "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" refer to Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries.

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K that have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in the context of the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of macroeconomic developments, including inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, tighter credit conditions and changes in global trade policies including higher tariffs in the U.S. and other countries, as of March 31, 2025 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, our allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of our goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets and revenue recognition. While there was not a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 resulting from our assessments of these matters, future assessment of our expectations of the magnitude and duration of these macroeconomic developments, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

New import tariffs implemented by the U.S. and other countries, as currently in effect, could have a material impact on our results for the remainder of 2025 and in the future. The impact of tariffs is dependent upon negotiations with customers and suppliers and other mitigation efforts and potential further changes in global trade policies, including higher tariffs in the U.S. or other countries.

We also assessed certain accounting matters as they relate to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, including, but not limited to, our allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and the classification of assets. There was not a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 resulting from our assessment of these matters. We continue to assess the impact on our results of operations, financial position and overall performance as the situations develop and any broader implications they may have on the global economy.

German Tax Litigation. In August 2024, we received a favorable ruling regarding a tax litigation in Germany. As a result, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include an income tax receivable of approximately $180 million and $175 million, respectively, and an interest receivable of approximately $150 million and $140 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") with RTX Corporation ("RTX", our former parent), and based on the facts and contractual provisions at the time, the Company estimated the amount payable to RTX as a result of the outcome of the German tax litigation to be $194 million as of December 31, 2024. Based on additional information received from RTX in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company now estimates the amount payable to RTX to be $246 million, resulting in indemnification expense of $52 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This indemnification expense is included in Other (expense) income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This estimate could further change due to the Company's limited access to information held by RTX and the parties' continuing discussion to resolve the scope of the indemnity obligation and the final indemnity amount.

See Note 11, "Income Taxes" and Note 16, "Contingent Liabilities" for additional information.

Supplier Finance Programs. Certain Otis subsidiaries participate in supplier finance programs, under which we agree to pay third-party financial institutions the stated amounts of confirmed invoices from suppliers on the original due dates of the invoices, while the participating suppliers generally have the ability to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, their receivables from the Company to the participating financial institutions. The outstanding obligations confirmed by the Company as valid to the financial institutions under our supplier finance programs were $555 million and $714 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, including $110 million and $67 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to programs with payment terms of 240 days from the invoice date. These obligations are included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and all activity related to the obligations is presented within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Refer to Note 2 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional details regarding the Company's supplier financing programs.

Note 2: Earnings per Share


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts; shares in millions)	2025		2024




Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	243	$	353

Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	396.6		405.2
Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent)	2.5		2.9
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	399.1		408.1

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock:


Basic	$	0.61	$	0.87



Diluted	$	0.61	$	0.86

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of Otis' common stock ("Common Stock") is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards when the awards' assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. Lastly, the computations of diluted earnings per share include outstanding awards granted prior to the separation and distribution ("Separation") of each of Otis and Carrier Global Corporation from United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), subsequently renamed RTX Corporation, and converted upon the Separation, in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2020, by the among UTC, Otis and Carrier Global Corporation. There were 0.5 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 1.4 million for the same period in 2024.

The impact of redeemable noncontrolling interest to Net income attributable to common shareholders was immaterial in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Table of Contents

Note 3: Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities are recognized when a customer pays consideration, or we have an unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts, which are payments in advance of performing work, progress payments as we perform contract work over time, or in some cases, payments upon completion of work.

Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Contract assets, current	$	690	$	706

Total contract assets	690		706

Contract liabilities, current	2,870		2,598
Contract liabilities, non-current (included within Other long-term liabilities)	38		38
Total contract liabilities	2,908		2,636
Net contract liabilities	$	2,218	$	1,930

Contract assets decreased by $16 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $272 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to billings on contracts in excess of revenue earned.

In the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized revenue of approximately $1.0 billion each quarter related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2025 and 2024.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of March 31, 2025, our total RPO was approximately $18.6 billion. Of the total RPO as of March 31, 2025, we expect approximately 90% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Note 4: Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024




Accounts receivable	$	3,689	$	3,553
Allowance for expected credit losses	(119)		(125)
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,570	$	3,428

Table of Contents

Note 5: Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Raw materials and work-in-process	$	127	$	134
Finished goods	459		423
Total	$	586	$	557

Raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods are net of valuation write-downs of $85 million and $82 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Note 6: Business Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Business Acquisitions. Our acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets, net of cash, totaled $36 million and $30 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and were primarily in our Service segment. Transaction costs incurred were not considered significant.

Goodwill. Changes in our Goodwill balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:


(dollars in millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2024		Goodwill Resulting from Business Combinations		Foreign Currency Translation and Other		Balance as of March 31, 2025
New Equipment	$	277	$	—	$	5	$	282
Service	1,271		18		17		1,306
Total	$	1,548	$	18	$	22	$	1,588

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets cost and accumulated amortization were $2,082 million and $1,756 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, and $2,006 million and $1,695 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

Amortization of intangible assets was $15 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and currency translation adjustments, there were no other significant changes in our Intangible assets during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Held For Sale Assets and Liabilities. Assets and liabilities held for sale were $20 million and $11 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, and $38 million and $9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, and are included in Other current assets and Accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, primarily in the Service segment, are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale. It is the Company's intention to complete the sale of these assets and liabilities within the next 12 months. These assets and liabilities held for sale were $8 million and $11 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, and $25 million and $9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $10 million related to the net assets held for sale in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Note 7: Borrowings and Lines of Credit


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Commercial paper	$	—	$	—
Other borrowings	40		51
Total short-term borrowings	$	40	$	51

Commercial Paper. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's $1.5 billion commercial paper programs. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes including to finance acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase shares and for debt refinancing. The need for commercial paper borrowings may arise if the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.

For details regarding the Company's short-term borrowing activity in 2024, refer to Note 9 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Long-term debt.

As of March 31, 2025, we had a revolving credit agreement with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated five-year revolving credit facility, maturing March 10, 2028. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with all covenants in the revolving credit agreement and the indentures governing all outstanding long-term debt. Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Stock-based Compensation. The Company adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") effective April 3, 2020. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 18 million shares remain available for awards under the Plan.

The Company measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the award's applicable vesting period. A forfeiture rate assumption is applied on grant date to adjust the expense recognition for awards that are not expected to vest.

Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits were as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Stock-based compensation expense (Share Based)	$	21	$	16


Less: future tax benefit	(2)		(2)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	19	$	14

As of March 31, 2025, following our annual grant issuance on February 4, 2025, there was approximately $148 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Note 9: Stock

Preferred Stock. There are 125 million shares of $0.01 par value Preferred Stock authorized, of which none were issued as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Common Stock. There are 2.0 billion shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 439.1 million and 438.6 million shares of Common Stock were issued, respectively, which includes 43.6 million and 41.0 million shares of treasury stock, respectively.

Treasury Stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to purchase up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock under a share repurchase program, of which $200 million was remaining at such time.

On January 16, 2025, our Board of Directors revoked any remaining share repurchase authority under the prior share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, of which $153 million had been utilized as of March 31, 2025.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 2.6 million and 3.4 million shares, respectively, for $253 million and $300 million, respectively. Share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax, which is included as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired in Treasury Stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as within financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows when paid.

The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be purchased in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented. See Note 8, "Employee Benefit Plans" for additional information.

Note 11: Income Taxes

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, is primarily the result of the tax effect of the increase in our estimated nondeductible TMA indemnity obligation payable to RTX, partially offset by a foreign valuation allowance release.

Otis conducts business globally and, as a result, Otis or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of business, Otis could be subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the U.S. With a few exceptions, Otis is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2015.

A subsidiary of Otis lost a tax litigation case in Belgium in 2023 and decided not to appeal. Otis expects to receive the assessment for tax and interest in 2025. The associated tax and interest have been fully reserved.

See Note 16, "Contingent Liabilities" for discussion regarding the German tax litigation.

Note 12: Restructuring and Transformation Costs

We initiate restructuring actions to keep our cost structure competitive. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, and to a lesser degree, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of office and manufacturing operations. Due to the size, nature and frequency of these discrete actions, they are fundamentally different from the Company's ongoing productivity initiatives.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring actions, including UpLift actions, as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31, 2025						Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
(dollars in millions)	UpLift		Other		Total		UpLift		Other		Total
Cost of products and services sold	$	9	$	15	$	24	$	—	$	5	$	5
Selling, general and administrative	11		8		19		1		14		15

Total	$	20	$	23	$	43	$	1	$	19	$	20

Restructuring costs incurred and expected, unless otherwise indicated, are related approximately 30% to New Equipment and 70% to Service.

UpLift Restructuring Actions and Transformation Costs. In 2023, we announced UpLift to transform our operating model. UpLift includes, among other aspects, the standardization of our processes and improvement of our supply chain procurement, as well as organizational changes which result in restructuring actions.

UpLift restructuring actions were approved in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, as well as in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, with further actions expected through the year ending December 31, 2025. These costs are primarily severance related costs. We expect these actions initiated to be substantially completed and cash to be paid by the end of 2025. Expected total costs and remaining costs to incur for the actions initiated are approximately $110 million and $34 million, respectively.

In the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $23 million and $12 million, respectively, of incremental, non-restructuring costs associated with transforming our operating model as a part of UpLift ("UpLift transformation costs"), which are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The UpLift transformation costs are primarily for consultants, third-party service providers and personnel focused on designing and implementing a centralized service delivery model that supports our new organizational structure, including the standardization of our supply chain and digital technology procurement.

Other Restructuring Actions. The other restructuring expenses incurred during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were primarily the result of restructuring programs initiated during 2025 and 2024 related to severance and facility exit costs. We are targeting to complete in 2025 the majority of the remaining restructuring actions initiated in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and the full year 2024, with certain utilization beyond 2025 due to contractual obligations or legal requirements in the applicable jurisdictions. Expected total costs and remaining costs to incur for the other restructuring actions initiated are $81 million and $46 million, respectively. Expected total and remaining costs are related approximately 60% to New Equipment and 40% to Service.

Reorganization of Operations in China

In January 2025, we announced the reorganization of our operations in China. Among other aspects, this reorganization will result in restructuring actions of approximately $40 million. These actions include severance related costs, and we expect these actions to be mostly completed and any cash to be paid by the end of 2025. Amounts related to the reorganization of operations in China are included within Other restructuring.

Restructuring Accruals. The following table summarizes the accrual balance and utilization for restructuring actions, which are primarily for severance costs:

Note 13: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing in and operating the business. We may use derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, commodity price and interest rate exposures.

The four-quarter average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was approximately $5.3 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The four-quarter average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $14 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivative instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The amount of gain or (loss) attributable to foreign exchange and commodity contract activity reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was immaterial, and is presented in Note 10, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)".

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented in the table below:


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$	3	$	3

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing firm commitment derivatives and regression testing in assessing commodity derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective.

Assuming current market conditions continue, pre-tax gains of less than $1 million are expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into Cost of products sold to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange and commodity hedging within the next 12 months. All derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2025 will mature by December 2028.

Net Investment Hedges. We may use non-derivative instruments (foreign currency denominated borrowings) and derivative instruments (foreign exchange forward contracts) to hedge portions of the Company's investments in foreign subsidiaries and manage foreign exchange risk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations and that meet the effectiveness requirements, the net gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in foreign currency translation within Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and will remain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The remainder of the change in value of such instruments is recorded in earnings, including to the extent foreign currency denominated borrowings are not designated in, or are de-designated from, a net investment hedge relationship.

Our use of derivative instruments designated as hedges of the Company's net investment in foreign subsidiaries can vary depending on the Company's desired foreign exchange risk coverage.

We have ¥21.5 billion of Japanese Yen denominated long-term debt that qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses, as well as derivative instruments that qualify as net investment hedges against our investments in certain European businesses (notional amount of €164 million) and Asian businesses (notional amount of HK$1.8 billion). The net investment hedges are deemed to be effective. The maturity dates of the current non-derivative and derivative instruments designated in net investment hedges range from 2025 to 2026.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we de-designated two derivative instruments that qualified as net investment hedges in certain European and Asian businesses with notional amounts of €120 million and ¥2.1 billion respectively, which were deemed to be effective until de-designation.

The following table summarizes the amounts of gains (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) related to non-derivative and derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Foreign currency denominated long-term debt	$	(6)	$	8

Foreign currency forward contracts	5		—
Total	$	(1)	$	8

Derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The net effect of derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments within Other income (expense) net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Foreign exchange contracts	$	6	$	(1)

The effects of derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedge instruments within Cost of products sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were gains of $2 million and losses of less than $1 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Techniques. Our marketable securities include investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally, and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. The fair value gains or losses related to our marketable securities are recorded through net income. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange and commodity contracts that are measured at fair value using internal and third party models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks.

As of March 31, 2025, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value approximated fair value for the current portion of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value. The fair value of receivables, including customer financing notes receivable, net, that were issued long-term are based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates reflecting the attributes of the counterparties, including geographic location. Customer-specific risk, including credit risk, is already considered in the carrying value of those receivables. Our long-term debt, as described in Note 7, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit", is measured at fair value using closing bond prices from active markets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820: Fair Value Measurements, the following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring and non-recurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Note 15: Guarantees

The Company provides service and warranty on its products beyond normal service and warranty policies. The carrying amount of service and product guarantees were $15 million and $16 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of March 31, 2025, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $145 million. We accrue costs associated with guarantees when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts, and where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. In accordance with ASC Topic 460: Guarantees, we record these liabilities at fair value. As of March 31, 2025, Otis has determined there are no estimated costs probable under these guarantees.

Note 16: Contingent Liabilities

Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition to the specific amounts noted below, where we have recorded loss contingency accruals for the below and other matters, the amounts in aggregate are not material. Legal costs generally are expensed when incurred.

For details regarding the Company's outstanding liability for environmental obligations, refer to Note 21 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Legal Proceedings.

German Tax Litigation

In the third quarter of 2024, Otis prevailed in a German tax litigation case stemming from the 1998 reorganization of the Company's operations in Germany. As a result of winning the case, the Company expects to receive a refund of prepaid tax, prepaid interest, overpayment interest, and court fees of approximately €306 million net of tax (approximately $330 million as of March 31, 2025). The refund will be paid to the Company over several quarters, anticipated to start in 2025.

The recoveries related to this matter are allocated between RTX and the Company pursuant to the terms of the TMA with our former parent, UTC, by way of indemnification payments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the tax and interest to be paid to RTX as a result of this recovery to be $194 million and recorded this amount in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Based on additional information received from RTX in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company now estimates the tax and interest to be paid to RTX to be $246 million and has recorded the additional $52 million in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This estimate could further change due to the Company's limited access to information held by RTX and the parties' continuing discussion to resolve the scope of the indemnity obligation and the final indemnity amount.

See Note 1, "General" for additional information on the impacts of the TMA activity to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Asbestos Matters

We have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. While we have never manufactured any asbestos-containing component parts, and no longer incorporate asbestos in any current products, certain of our historical products have contained components manufactured by third parties incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos-related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $11 million to $21 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Since no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amount of $10 million (including $1 million of payments made in the quarter ended March 31, 2025) and $11 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and exclude the Company's legal fees to defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed as they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos-related recoveries of approximately $3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which is principally included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other. We have commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based on a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, we accrue the minimum amount. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of each of these claims and whether they will be resolved consistent with our beliefs, we expect that the outcome of such claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

In certain European countries, claims for overcharges on elevators and escalators related to civil cartel cases have been made, which we have accrued for based on our evaluation of the claims. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of each of these claims and whether they will be resolved consistent with our beliefs, we do not believe these matters will have a material impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations due to our historical settlement experience and the limited number of remaining claims.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Refer to Note 17 for information about litigation-related settlement costs recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for certain legal matters that are outside of the ordinary course of business.

Note 17: Segment Financial Data

Our operations are classified into two operating segments: New Equipment and Service. Through the New Equipment segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install a wide range of passenger and freight elevators as well as escalators and moving walkways to customers in the residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. The Service segment provides maintenance and repair services for both our products and those of other manufacturers, and provides modernization services to upgrade elevators and escalators. The operating segments are generally based on the management structure of the Company, as well as how management allocates resources, assesses performance and makes strategic and operational decisions.

Segment Information. Otis discloses segment operating profit as its measure of segment performance, reconciled to Net income before income taxes. Segment operating profit excludes certain expenses and income that are not allocated to segments (as described below in "Corporate and Unallocated").

Otis' Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment and allocates resources to those segments based on net sales and segment operating profit. The CODM compares segment operating profit results to prior periods and forecasted amounts to assess performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other investments. The discrete asset information for each segment is not presented to, or reviewed by, the CODM.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2025, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 4, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Summary

We are the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company. Our Company is organized into two segments, New Equipment and Service. Through our New Equipment segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install a wide range of passenger and freight elevators, as well as escalators and moving walkways for residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. Our New Equipment customers include real-estate and building developers and general contractors who develop and/or design buildings for residential, commercial, retail or mixed-use activity. We sell our New Equipment directly to customers, as well as through agents and distributors.

Through our Service segment, we perform maintenance and repair services for both our own products and those of other manufacturers and provide modernization services to upgrade elevators and escalators. Maintenance services include inspections to ensure code compliance, preventive maintenance offerings and other customized maintenance offerings tailored to meet customer needs, as well as repair services to address equipment and component wear and tear and breakdowns. Modernization services enhance equipment operation and improve building functionality. Modernization offerings can range from relatively simple upgrades of interior finishes and aesthetics to complex upgrades of larger components and sub-systems. Our typical Service customers include building owners, facility managers, housing associations and government agencies that operate buildings where elevators and escalators are installed.

We serve our customers through a global network of employees. These include sales personnel, field technicians with separate skills in performing installation and service, as well as engineers driving our continued product development and innovation. We function under a centralized operating model whereby we pursue a global strategy set around New Equipment and Service because we seek to grow our maintenance portfolio, in part, through the conversion of new elevator and escalator installations into service contracts. Accordingly, we benefit from an integrated global strategy, which sets priorities and establishes accountability across the full product lifecycle.

The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2025 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the "Business Overview" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2024 Form 10-K.

For discussion of Otis’ ESG goals and risks associated therewith, see the discussion under "Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")" in Item 1 and under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

UpLift

Announced in July 2023, UpLift is a program with the goal of transforming our operating model. UpLift includes the standardization of our processes and improvement of our supply chain procurement, among other aspects of the program, as well as organizational changes which result in restructuring actions. We expect UpLift to generate approximately $200 million in annual run-rate savings by second half of 2025, with restructuring and other incremental costs to complete the transformation ("UpLift transformation costs") of approximately $300 million.

UpLift costs incurred in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
UpLift restructuring costs	$	20	$	1
UpLift transformation costs	23		12
Total UpLift costs	$	43	$	13

Total UpLift costs incurred to date are $180 million, including $76 million of UpLift restructuring costs and $104 million of UpLift transformation costs.

Table of Contents

UpLift restructuring costs are primarily severance costs and are recorded primarily in Selling, general and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. UpLift transformation costs are primarily for consultants, third-party service providers and personnel focused on designing and implementing a centralized service delivery model that supports our new organizational structure, including the standardization of our supply chain and digital technology procurement. These costs are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For further details, refer to the discussion on restructuring costs in the "Results of Operations," as well as Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

German Tax Litigation

In August 2024, we received a favorable ruling regarding a German tax litigation. As a result, we recorded income tax benefits of approximately $185 million and related interest income of approximately $200 million, which were included in Income tax expense (benefit), net and Interest expense (income), net, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") with RTX Corporation ("RTX", our former parent) and based on the facts and contractual provisions at the time, the Company recorded indemnification expense and payable of $194 million for amounts due to RTX resulting from the outcome of the German tax litigation. This expense was included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Based on additional information received from RTX during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company now estimates the amount payable to RTX to be $246 million, resulting in indemnification expense of $52 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This indemnification expense is included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This estimate could further change due to the Company's limited access to information held by RTX and the parties' continuing discussion to resolve the scope of the indemnity obligation and the final indemnity amount.

For further details, refer to Note 11 and Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Impact of Global Macroeconomic Conditions on Our Company

Global macroeconomic conditions have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company's operations and overall financial performance during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These macroeconomic conditions include, among others, inflationary pressures, high interest rates, tighter credit conditions and changes in global trade policies including higher tariffs in the U.S. and other countries. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2025, as a result of the following, among other things:

•Higher costs of products and services due to tariffs;

•Customer demand impacting our new equipment, maintenance and repair, and modernization businesses;

•Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserve;

•Cancellations or delays of customer orders; and

•Supplier liquidity, as well as supplier and raw material capacity constraints, delays and related costs.

Other than the estimated potential impact from new tariffs currently in effect of approximately $45 million to $75 million, we currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic conditions, including to our overall liquidity position based on our available cash and cash equivalents and our access to credit facilities and the capital markets.

See the "Liquidity and Financial Condition" section in this Form 10-Q for further detail and Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K for macroeconomic risks related to our business.

Risks Associated with Ongoing Conflicts

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cybersecurity incidents, reputational risk, increased operating costs (including fuel and other input costs), environmental, health and safety risks related to securing and maintaining facilities, additional sanctions and other regulations (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from Russia). We do not have operations in Russia.

To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine, which represented less than 1% of our revenue and operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024.

Additionally, we do not have operations or material net sales in Israel or Gaza. Although we have operations in the Middle East and transport products through the Red Sea, we currently do not expect the recent conflicts in that region to have a material impact on our business.

We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. Depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K, including but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, or are the most sensitive to change due to outside factors, are discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates" included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed in Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, pertaining to adoption of new accounting pronouncements, there have been no material changes in these policies.

See the "Segment Review" section for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Cost of Products and Services Sold


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025			2024
Total cost of products and services sold	$	2,349		$	2,409
Percentage change year-over-year	(2)		%

The factors contributing to the percentage change year-over-year for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 in total cost of products and services sold are as follows:


Components of Cost of Products and Services Sold change:	Quarter Ended March 31, 2025
Organic volume	—	%
Foreign currency translation	(3)	%

Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other	1	%


Total % change	(2)	%

The Organic volume was flat for total cost of products and services sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by the organic sales changes noted above. Productivity and lower commodity prices, primarily steel, were offset by inflationary pressures, including higher labor costs and higher Service-related material costs.

(dollars in millions)	2025			2024
Gross margin	$	1,001		$	1,028
Gross margin percentage	29.9		%	29.9		%

Gross margin percentage was flat for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024, due to Service sales growing faster than New Equipment sales, the benefits from productivity and lower commodity prices, offset by the inflationary pressures described above.

See the "Segment Review" section below for discussion of operating results by segment.

Research and Development


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025			2024
Research and development	$	37		$	36
Percentage of Net sales	1.1		%	1.0		%

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025			2024
Selling, general and administrative	$	464		$	462
Percentage of Net sales	13.9		%	13.4		%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024, driven by annual wage increases and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by savings resulting from UpLift, lower credit loss reserves, and favorable foreign exchange impacts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased 50 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period in 2024.

Restructuring Costs


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
UpLift restructuring	$	20	$	1
Other restructuring	23		19

Total restructuring costs	$	43	$	20

We initiate restructuring actions to keep our cost structure competitive. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions and, to a lesser degree, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of office and manufacturing operations. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions.

UpLift restructuring costs were $20 million and $1 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also incurred $23 million and $12 million of UpLift transformation costs in the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are primarily for consultants, third-party service providers and personnel focused on designing and implementing a centralized service delivery model that supports our new organizational structure, including the standardization of our supply chain and digital technology procurement. These costs are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other restructuring costs were $23 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and included $12 million of costs related to 2025 actions and $11 million of costs related to 2024 actions.

Most of the expected charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. The table below presents approximate cash outflows related to the restructuring actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the expected cash payments to complete the actions announced:


(dollars in millions)	UpLift Actions		Other Actions		Total Restructuring
Cash outflows during the three months ended March 31, 2025	$	11	$	15	$	26
Expected cash payments remaining to complete actions announced	56		78		134

The approved UpLift restructuring actions are expected to generate approximately $95 million in annual recurring savings by 2025, primarily in Selling, general and administrative expenses, and of which approximately $19 million was realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

For other restructuring actions, we generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $27 million for the 2025 actions and $27 million for the 2024 actions, of which approximately 80% relates to Cost of products and services sold and 20% relates to Selling, general and administrative expenses. Approximately $8 million of savings was realized for the 2025 and 2024 actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Other Income (Expense), Net


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Other income (expense), net	$	(89)	$	14

The changes in Other income (expense), net, of $(103) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, were primarily driven by Separation-related adjustments of $52 million, UpLift transformation costs of $23 million, non-recurring litigation-related settlement costs of $21 million and impairment loss related to net assets held for sale of $10 million, partially offset by foreign currency mark-to-market adjustments and gain on sale of fixed assets. Other Income was also impacted by lower Separation-related adjustments, lower UpLift transformation costs, and other reserve adjustments during the same period in 2024.

For additional discussion of the Separation-related adjustments, litigation-related settlement costs and held for sale impairment, see Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional discussion of the restructuring and UpLift transformation costs, see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense (Income), Net


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024


Interest expense (income), net	$	45	$	44

Interest expense (income), net was relatively flat for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, as higher interest expense related to the $600 million and €850 million unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued in November 2024 was offset by higher interest income.

The average interest rate on our long-term debt for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was 2.7% and 2.5%, respectively. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes


	Quarter Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Effective tax rate	30.1	%	25.2	%

We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter to quarter from potential discrete items.

Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiaries' Earnings and Net Income Attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings	$	13	$	21
Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation	$	243	$	353

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings decreased $8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by increased ownership of our subsidiary in Japan during the second quarter of 2024 and lower net income from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. Other than our acquisition of the noncontrolling shares of our subsidiary in Japan during the second quarter of 2024, ownership interest in the underlying non-wholly owned subsidiaries has remained generally consistent year-over-year.

Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to lower operating profit (including the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange rates) and a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by lower noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings.

The New Equipment segment designs, manufactures, sells and installs a wide range of passenger and freight elevators, as well as escalators and moving walkways in residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. Our New Equipment customers include real-estate and building developers and general contractors who develop and/or design buildings for residential, infrastructure, commercial, retail or mixed-use activity. We sell directly to customers as well as through agents and distributors. We also sell New Equipment to government agencies to support infrastructure projects, such as airports, railways or metros.

Table of Contents

Quarter Ended March 31, 2025

Net sales

The organic sales decrease of (7)% was primarily driven by a greater than 20% decline in China and high single-digit decline in Americas, partially offset by approximately 10% growth in Asia Pacific and mid single-digit growth in EMEA.

Operating profit

New Equipment operating profit decreased $(5) million, including foreign exchange headwinds of ($1) million. The impacts of lower volume and unfavorable regional mix were partially offset by productivity and lower commodity prices, with price relatively flat. Operating margin increased 20 basis points.

Service

The Service segment performs maintenance and repair services for both our products, and those of other manufacturers, and provides modernization services to upgrade elevators and escalators. Maintenance services include inspections to ensure code compliance, preventive maintenance offerings and other customized maintenance offerings tailored to meet customer needs, as well as repair services that address equipment and component wear and tear, and breakdowns. Modernization services enhance equipment operation and improve building functionality. Modernization offerings can range from relatively simple upgrades of interior finishes and aesthetics, to complex upgrades of larger components and sub-systems. Our typical Service customers include building owners, facility managers, housing associations and government agencies that operate buildings where elevators and escalators are installed.

Summary performance for Service for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We expect to fund our ongoing operating, investing and financing requirements mainly through cash flows from operations, available liquidity through cash on hand and available bank lines of credit and access to capital markets.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.9 billion, of which approximately 37% was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Domestic cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 includes amounts that were used on April 7, 2025, to fund the repayment at maturity of the $1.3 billion principal amount of 2.056% notes due April 5, 2025. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost-effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions and divestitures or other legal obligations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $11 million and $21 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

From time-to-time we may need to access the capital markets to obtain financing. We may incur indebtedness or issue equity as needed. Although we believe that the arrangements in place as of March 31, 2025 permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future could be impacted by many factors, including (1) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (2) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (3) the current state of the economy, including tighter credit conditions. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

The following table contains several key measures of our financial condition and liquidity:


(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,918		$	2,300
Total debt	8,406			8,324
Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)	6,488			6,024
Total equity	(5,053)			(4,785)
Total capitalization (total debt plus total equity)	3,353			3,539
Net capitalization (total debt plus total equity less cash and cash equivalents)	1,435			1,239

Total debt to total capitalization	251		%	235		%
Net debt to net capitalization	452		%	486		%

The Company does not intend to reinvest certain undistributed earnings of our international subsidiaries that have been previously taxed in the U.S. For the remainder of the Company’s undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, we will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings.

Borrowings and Lines of Credit

As of March 31, 2025, we had a revolving credit agreement with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated five-year revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. The undrawn portion of the revolving credit agreement serves as a backstop for the issuance of commercial paper.

There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's $1.5 billion commercial paper program as of March 31, 2025. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Share Repurchase Program

On January 16, 2025, our Board of Directors revoked any remaining share repurchase authority under the prior share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, of which approximately $1.8 billion was remaining as of March 31, 2025.

Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Discussion of Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


	Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	190	$	171
Investing activities	(161)		(79)
Financing activities	(428)		(467)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	7		(18)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(392)	$	(393)

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our operations. Primary activities include net income from operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities.

The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by working capital balances during the periods, including an increase in Accrued Liabilities in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to a decrease in the same period in 2024, driven by an increase in indemnity obligation to RTX, an increase in litigation-related settlement reserves and the timing of restructuring payments, as well as a smaller increase in Accounts receivable, net, in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to the timing of billings and collections. These were partially offset by lower net income, a larger decrease in Accounts payable in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to a decrease in the same period in 2024, driven by the timing of payments to suppliers. Additionally, UpLift-related payments were approximately $30 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $15 million in the same period in 2024.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $190 million. Net income of $256 million includes $52 million of indemnification expense resulting from the German tax litigation, $21 million of litigation-related settlement costs and $10 million of impairment loss related to net assets held for sale, none of which resulted in cash flow activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net income and the change in Contract assets and liabilities, net, due to timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts, were also partially offset by a decrease in Accounts payable due to the timing of payments to suppliers and an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings and collections. For additional discussion of the German tax litigation, see Note 1 and Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $171 million. The primary drivers of the inflow related to $374 million of net income and changes in Contract assets and liabilities, net, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts. These were partially offset by a decrease in Accounts payable due to the timing of payments to suppliers, an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings, and a decrease in Accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments, including employee-related benefits, interest and income taxes.

Investing activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with long-term assets, including capital expenditures, investments in businesses and securities, proceeds from the sale of fixed assets and the settlement of derivative contracts.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $161 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to $34 million of capital expenditures, $36 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets and $93 million of net cash payments from the settlement of derivative instruments.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $79 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to $31 million of capital expenditures, $30 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets and $21 million of net cash payments from the settlement of derivative instruments.

Table of Contents

As discussed in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use derivative instruments, including forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency and commodity price exposures.

Financing activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with equity and borrowings. Primary activities include short-term and long-term borrowing activity, paying dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of our Common Stock and dividends or other payments to noncontrolling interests.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $428 million. The primary drivers of the outflow were repurchases of our Common Stock of $253 million and dividends paid on our Common Stock of $155 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $467 million. The primary drivers of the outflow were repurchases of our Common Stock of $300 million and dividends paid on our Common Stock of $138 million.

Guaranteed Securities: Summarized Financial Information

The following information is provided in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the 2026 Euro Notes, the 2027 Euro Notes and the 2031 Euro Notes (together the "Euro Notes"), in each case issued by Highland Holdings S.à r.l. ("Highland"), a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"). The Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Otis Worldwide Corporation ("OWC") on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis. Refer to "Note 9: Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 in our 2024 Form 10-K, for additional information.

Highland is a wholly-owned, indirect consolidated subsidiary of OWC. OWC is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. As a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and with its registered office in Luxembourg, Highland is subject to Luxembourg insolvency and bankruptcy laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against it. Luxembourg bankruptcy law is significantly different from, and may be less favorable to creditors than, the bankruptcy law in effect in the United States and may make it more difficult for creditors to recover the amount they could expect to recover in liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy rules.

The Euro Notes are not guaranteed by any of OWC's or Highland's subsidiaries (all OWC subsidiaries other than Highland are referred to herein as "non-guarantor subsidiaries"). Holders of the Euro Notes will have a direct claim only against Highland, as issuer, and OWC, as guarantor.

The following tables set forth the summarized financial information as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024 of each of OWC and Highland on a standalone basis, which does not include the consolidated impact of the assets, liabilities, and financial results of their subsidiaries except as noted on the tables below, nor does it include any impact of intercompany eliminations as there were no intercompany transactions between OWC and Highland. This summarized financial information is not intended to present the financial position or results of operations of OWC or Highland in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Table of Contents

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, our CFO and our CAO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, our CFO and our CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
