NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 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 at December 31, 2020 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 to Shareholders ("2020 Annual Report") incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").

Note 1: Description of Business and Separation from United Technologies Corporation

Otis (as defined below) is the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company. Our operations are classified into two 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, for residential and commercial building 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.

On November 26, 2018, United Technologies Corporation, subsequently renamed to Raytheon Technologies Corporation on April 3, 2020 ("UTC" or "RTX", as applicable), announced its intention to spin-off its Otis reportable segment and its Carrier reportable segment into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). On April 3, 2020, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company through a pro-rata distribution of 0.5 shares of Common Stock for every share of UTC common stock held at the close of business on the record date of March 19, 2020 (the "Distribution"). Otis began to trade as a separate public company (New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"): OTIS) on April 3, 2020.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis", "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" refer to (i) Otis Worldwide Corporation's business (the "Business") prior to the Separation and (ii) Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries following the Separation, as applicable. References to "UTC" relate to pre-Separation matters, and references to "RTX" relate to post-Separation matters.

The Separation was completed pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement ("Separation Agreement") and other agreements with our former parent, UTC, related to the Separation, including but not limited to a transition services agreement (the "Transition Service Agreement" or "TSA"), a tax matters agreement (the "Tax Matters Agreement" or "TMA"), an employee matters agreement (the "Employee Matters Agreement" or "EMA") and an intellectual property agreement (the "Intellectual Property Agreement"). For further discussion on these agreements, see Note 5.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

Prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, our historical financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of our former parent, UTC. For the period subsequent to April 3, 2020, our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as the Company became a standalone public company (collectively, the financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to April 3, 2020, are now referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" to reflect this change). They have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.

Prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included all revenues and costs directly attributable to Otis, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Otis. Costs for certain functions and services performed by centralized UTC organizations were directly charged to Otis based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, usage or other allocation methods. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by UTC organizations have been deemed settled in cash by Otis to our former parent, UTC, in the period in which the cost was recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of

11

Operations. Current and deferred income taxes were determined based on the standalone results of Otis. However, because the Company was included in our former parent UTC’s tax group in certain jurisdictions, the Company's actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Company's portion of its domestic income taxes and certain income taxes for jurisdictions outside the U.S. are deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded prior to the Separation.

All significant intracompany accounts and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the Separation, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically or otherwise attributable to the Company.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 COVID-19 at June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from our assessments of these matters, future assessment of our current expectations at that time of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

Certain amounts presented in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which are immaterial.

Note 3: Earnings per Share

On April 3, 2020, the date of consummation of the Separation, 433,079,455 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were distributed to UTC shareholders of record as of March 19, 2020. This share amount is being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation as all common stock was owned by UTC prior to the Separation. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding at January 1, 2020 for purposes of calculating historical basic and diluted earnings per share.

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 the 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. There were 2.1 million and 9.3 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 2.1 million and 9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 4: Revenue Recognition

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

Performance Obligations. The Company's revenue streams include new equipment, maintenance and repair and modernization (including related installation). New equipment, modernization and repair services revenue is typically recognized over time as we are enhancing an asset the customer controls. Maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance contract.

For new equipment and modernization transactions, equipment and installation are typically procured in a single contract providing the customer with a complete installed elevator or escalator unit. The combination of equipment and installation are typically a single performance obligation. For repair services, the customer typically contracts for specific short-term services which form a single performance obligation. For these performance obligations, revenue is recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion in order to measure progress.

For maintenance contracts, given the continuous nature of the maintenance services throughout the year, we recognize revenue on maintenance contracts on a straight-line basis which aligns with the cost profile of these services.

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 a right to receive an amount of unconditional consideration, in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. We typically receive progress payments from our customers as we perform our work over time.

Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(dollars in millions)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Contract assets, current	$	492	$	458
Total contract assets	492		458
Contract liabilities, current	2,815		2,542
Contract liabilities, non-current (included within Other long-term liabilities)	40		44
Total contract liabilities	2,855		2,586
Net contract liabilities	$	2,363	$	2,128

Contract assets increased by $34 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $269 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to contract billings in excess of revenue earned. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of June 30, 2021, our total RPO was $17.5 billion. Of the total RPO as of June 30, 2021, we expect 89% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Note 5: Related Parties

In connection with the Separation as further described in Note 1, the Company entered into several agreements with our former parent, UTC, and Carrier. These agreements include the Separation Agreement that sets forth certain agreements with UTC and Carrier regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation, including identifying the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the contracts transferred to each of UTC, Carrier and Otis as part of the Separation, and when and how these transfers and assumptions occurred.

Other agreements that we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with RTX and Carrier following the Separation include the TSA, TMA, EMA and Intellectual Property Agreement. Under the TSA, RTX provides the Company certain services and we provide certain services to RTX for a limited time, which is expected to end during the second half of 2021. The TMA governs the parties' respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters, and among other things imposes restrictions on Otis during the two-year period following the Distribution that are intended to prevent certain transactions from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free. The EMA allocates among Otis, UTC, and Carrier the liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefit plans, benefit programs and other related matters.

Net Transfers from (to) UTC and Separation Transactions. In connection with the Separation, certain assets and liabilities were contributed to the Company by our former parent, UTC, leading up to and at the time of the Separation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net liabilities of $43 million were contributed to the Company by our former parent, UTC, primarily consisting of deferred tax assets and liabilities and fixed assets. Prior to the Separation, these non-cash contributions were recorded as Net transfers (to) from UTC on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity through UTC Net Investment during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Upon Separation, the following were recorded as Net transfers (to) from UTC and Separation-related transactions on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity through UTC Net Investment:

(dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	220
Taxes and other	187
Total	$	407

Prior to the Separation, our former parent ,UTC, paid Otis Cash and cash equivalents of $190 million in connection with the Separation Agreement, and approximately $30 million as settlement of related party receivables due from UTC to Otis as a result of a cash overdraft as of March 31, 2020.

Additionally, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") imposed a non-recurring toll charge, paid in installments over an 8-year period on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. Under the terms of the TMA, Otis will indemnify RTX for a percentage of the toll charge installment payments due after April 3, 2020. As a result, a portion of Otis' future income tax obligations corresponding to the toll charge was reclassified as a contractual indemnity obligation within Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The TMA also provides for RTX to indemnify Otis for certain foreign tax obligations as a result of Otis' inclusion in certain foreign consolidated tax returns prior to the Separation. As a result, Otis has reflected this contractual indemnification asset within Other current assets and the related tax obligations within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of the Separation and the provisions of the TMA, Otis' total net tax-related liabilities on April 3, 2020 were reduced by $191 million, comprising the following impacts to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

(dollars in millions)	Increase (Decrease)
Assets
Other current assets	$	167
Total Current Assets	167
Future income tax benefits	(4)
Total Assets	$	163
Liabilities and (Deficit) Equity
Accrued liabilities	$	110
Total Current Liabilities	110
Future income tax obligations	(377)
Other long-term liabilities	239
Total Liabilities	(28)
Total Shareholders' (Deficit) Equity	191
Total (Deficit) Equity	191
Total Liabilities and (Deficit) Equity	$	163

There were also $4 million of Other long-term liabilities recorded upon Separation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Shared Costs. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a standalone basis for the periods prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, and for those periods are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC. Prior to the Separation, the Company had been managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of UTC, and UTC incurred significant corporate costs such as treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to certain functions. All such amounts have been deemed to have been incurred and settled by the Company in the period in which the costs were recorded.

Accordingly, for periods prior to the Separation, shared costs of $16 million were allocated to the Company and reflected as expenses in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no allocated centralized costs for the periods after the Separation.

Separation Costs, net. We have incurred non-recurring Separation costs, net as follows:

	Quarter Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021	2020	2021	2020
Separation costs, net	$
