Business Summary

Otis Worldwide Corporation is the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service, and modernization company, operating in over 200 countries and territories with a direct physical presence in more than 70 countries . The company's business is organized into two segments: New Equipment and Service. The industry is highly competitive, with hundreds of participants offering New Equipment solutions and several thousand offering maintenance and service solutions globally . Major global competitors include KONE Oyj, Schindler Group, and TK Elevator, with independent service providers also being significant competitors in the Service segment . Otis believes its global presence, local relationships, and track record in complex solutions contribute to its brand, reputation, and competitive position .

Otis generates revenue through its core business model of designing, manufacturing, selling, installing, and servicing elevators, escalators, and moving walkways. The Service segment, which includes maintenance, repair, and modernization, represents a significant portion of recurring income. Customers for New Equipment include real estate and building developers, general contractors, and government agencies for infrastructure projects . Service customers typically comprise building owners, facility managers, housing associations, and government agencies . The company aims to grow its maintenance portfolio by converting newly installed units into service contracts, prospecting new units, and through acquisitions .

The New Equipment segment contributed 35% of net sales and 9% of segment operating profit in 2025 . This segment designs, manufactures, sells, and installs passenger and freight elevators, escalators, and moving walkways for various projects . Key elevator platforms include Gen2, Gen3, Gen360, and SkyRise . The Gen2 platform has sold over one million units since its 2000 launch . The Gen3 platform enhances Gen2 with Otis ONE IoT connectivity and additional safety features . Gen360 offers increased reliability, reduced entrapment potential, and remote diagnostic capabilities through 360-degree cameras . SkyRise is designed for taller, high-rise buildings . Escalators and moving walkways are also offered, featuring smart design for sustainability and passenger safety .

The Service segment contributed 65% of net sales and 91% of segment operating profit in 2025 . This segment performs maintenance and repair services for approximately 2.5 million units globally, including Otis and other manufacturers' equipment, and provides modernization services . Maintenance offerings range from basic inspections to comprehensive component replacement coverage . Modernization solutions enhance operational performance, improve building functionality, and support sustainable systems, ranging from aesthetic upgrades to complex sub-system replacements . Otis ONE, the company's cloud-based IoT technology, continuously monitors equipment health for proactive and predictive maintenance . As of December 31, 2025, approximately 1.1 million units of the global portfolio are connected .

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Otis reported total net sales of $14,431 million , with product sales at $4,989 million and service sales at $9,442 million . The cost of products sold was $4,182 million , and the cost of services sold was $5,879 million . Gross profit amounted to $4,370 million , resulting in a gross margin percentage of 30.3% . Operating profit was $2,133 million , yielding an operating margin of 14.8% . Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation was $1,384 million , with diluted earnings per share of $3.50 and basic earnings per share of $3.52 . Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $1,596 million . As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,096 million , total debt was $7,956 million , and net debt was $6,860 million .

Comparing 2025 to 2024, total net sales increased by 1% . This was driven by a 5% increase in Service organic sales, offset by a (7)% decrease in New Equipment organic sales, with foreign currency translation contributing 1% to the total change. Gross margin percentage increased by 40 basis points to 30.3% , primarily due to the shift in sales mix towards Service and benefits from productivity, partially offset by inflationary pressures . New Equipment net sales decreased by $(378) million , or (7)% , while Service net sales increased by $548 million , or 6% . New Equipment operating profit decreased by $(89) million , and its operating margin decreased by 130 basis points . Service operating profit increased by $189 million , and its operating margin increased by 50 basis points . Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $118 million , driven by higher restructuring costs, annual wage increases, and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by UpLift savings .

During 2025, Otis continued its UpLift program, incurring $76 million in restructuring costs and $69 million in transformation costs, primarily for consultants and third-party service providers . Total UpLift costs incurred to date are $282 million , comprising $132 million in restructuring costs and $150 million in transformation costs. The company also incurred $54 million in other restructuring costs, including $36 million related to 2025 actions and $18 million related to 2024 actions. In October 2025, Otis acquired all outstanding shares of Otis Electric Elevator Company Limited from the noncontrolling shareholder for approximately $215 million , consisting of $80 million in cash and $135 million from borrowings, making Otis Electric 100% owned by Otis China and its subsidiary . The company also recorded $70 million in Separation-related adjustments and $21 million in litigation-related settlement costs .

Business Outlook

Otis has not provided formal specific revenue, margin, or EPS guidance for the upcoming period in the filing. However, the company expects to continue to innovate and expand its digital ecosystem and suite of digital solutions for both existing service portfolio customers and new equipment shipments from its factories in 2026 . The company anticipates a similar impact of approximately $20 million from new tariffs in 2026 as experienced in 2025 .

A major growth vector for Otis is the advancement of digitalization, particularly through its Otis ONE cloud-based IoT technology . This technology is designed to continuously monitor equipment health and performance in real time, providing proactive, predictive, and transparent information to technicians and customers . It expands predictive and remote maintenance capabilities to support improved elevator up-time and service productivity . Otis also offers additional technology and multimedia options, such as the eView In-Car Display for customizable infotainment and emergency connection to OTISLINE , the Compass 360 Destination Management System to optimize traffic flow in buildings , and the eCall Plus Smartphone App for remote elevator summoning . These digital solutions are often incorporated as optional upgrades on maintenance contracts .

Operationally, Otis expects to incur trailing restructuring costs of $18 million in 2026 related to its UpLift program, which aims to generate approximately $200 million in annual run-rate savings . The UpLift program's total restructuring and other incremental costs are approximately $300 million . For other restructuring actions, the company expects to complete the majority of remaining actions initiated in 2025 and 2024 in 2026 , with expected total costs of $94 million and remaining costs to incur of $16 million . These actions are generally expected to achieve annual recurring savings within two years of initiation, including $33 million for 2025 actions and $27 million for 2024 actions . The reorganization of operations in China, announced in January 2025, is substantially completed as of December 31, 2025, and resulted in approximately $30 million in restructuring actions .

Regarding capital allocation, research and development (R&D) expense was $152 million in 2025, representing 1.1% of net sales. Additionally, investments in digital and strategic initiatives amounted to $45 million , bringing the combined R&D and digital/strategic initiatives to 1.4% of net sales in 2025 . Capital expenditures were $152 million in 2025. The Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program on January 16, 2025, for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, with approximately $1.3 billion remaining as of December 31, 2025 . In 2025, the company repurchased 8.6 million shares for approximately $800 million . Dividends declared per Common Share were $1.65 in 2025. Otis expects to make total contributions of approximately $45 million to its global defined benefit pension plans in 2026 . The estimated future amortization of intangible assets for 2026 is $46 million . Total purchase obligations as of December 31, 2025, were $1,427 million , with $645 million due in 2026 . Other long-term liabilities totaled $140 million , with $41 million due in 2026 .

Management explicitly flagged that global macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures, high interest rates, tighter credit conditions, and changes in global trade policies (including higher tariffs), could continue to impact the business in 2026 . These impacts could include higher costs of products and services due to tariffs, affecting customer demand across new equipment, maintenance, repair, and modernization businesses, leading to customer liquidity constraints, cancellations or delays of orders, and supplier liquidity or capacity constraints . The ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and instability in the Middle East also present risks, potentially leading to increased costs, commodity availability constraints, supply chain disruptions, decreased business spending, cyber-incidents, and adverse changes in international trade policies .

Risk Factors

Otis faces material risks from global economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, high interest rates, and tighter credit conditions, which can increase operating costs and affect customer demand and liquidity, potentially leading to order cancellations or delays . Geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and instability in the Middle East, create macroeconomic uncertainty, increasing costs, constraining commodity availability, disrupting supply chains, and potentially leading to cyberattacks or adverse changes in trade policies . The company relies on a diverse network of suppliers, and significant shortages, capacity constraints, production disruptions, or price increases, particularly for raw materials like steel, could increase operating costs and impact competitive positions . International operations, which generated approximately 71% of net sales in 2025 , expose Otis to risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in local government policies, and economic instability in emerging markets, including China, which is the largest end market for new equipment sales . The company is subject to various litigation and compliance risks, including product safety, intellectual property, contract claims, environmental matters, competition laws, and anti-corruption laws like the FCPA . The estimated range of total liabilities for asbestos-related claims through 2059 is approximately $11 million to $31 million , with $11 million accrued as of December 31, 2025 . Information security, data privacy, and identity protection are critical, as cyberattacks or security breaches could compromise data, disrupt operations, and lead to significant costs or reputational harm . The company's debt levels, totaling $7,956 million as of December 31, 2025, could require significant cash flow for debt service, reducing funds available for other purposes .

Management Priorities

Management's message to shareholders emphasizes a commitment to transforming the operating model through the UpLift program, which aims to generate approximately $200 million in annual run-rate savings , despite incurring total restructuring and other incremental costs of approximately $300 million , including $18 million in trailing restructuring costs expected in 2026 . They highlight the importance of innovation and expanding the digital ecosystem, with plans to continue innovating and expanding digital solutions for both existing service portfolio customers and new equipment shipments in 2026 . Strategic priorities include sustaining New Equipment growth, accelerating Service portfolio growth, delivering modernization value, advancing the digitalization of Otis, and focusing and empowering the organization . Management acknowledges potential impacts from global macroeconomic conditions, including approximately $20 million in tariff impacts in 2025 and a similar impact anticipated in 2026 , but does not expect significant impacts to capital and financial resources based on available liquidity . The company's capital allocation strategy includes a share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, with $1.3 billion remaining as of December 31, 2025 , and a declared dividend of $1.65 per Common Share in 2025 .
