NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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, 2022 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 2022 ("2022 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 2022 Form 10-K that have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes. Certain amounts presented in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which are immaterial.

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 macroeconomic developments, including inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and tighter credit conditions, as of September 30, 2023 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 September 30, 2023 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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.

We also assessed certain accounting matters as they relate to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the war in Israel and Gaza, 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 September 30, 2023 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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.

Supplier Finance Programs. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 450-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period.

11

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 maturity 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. Our obligations to suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables to the financial institutions, or otherwise pledge their receivables as collateral, under these arrangements. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions, and the Company's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. Based on the applicable supplier agreements, the maturity dates of these supplier invoices can range between 30 and 120 days from the invoice date.

The outstanding obligations confirmed by the Company as valid to the financial institutions under our supplier finance programs were $537 million and $564 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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 on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company or the financial institutions may terminate the agreements with advanced notice. Otis has pledged no assets in connection with its supplier finance programs.

Note 2: Earnings per Share

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts; shares in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation	$	376	$	324	$	1,083	$	956
Impact of redeemable noncontrolling interest	—		—		—		—
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	376	$	324	$	1,083	$	956
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	410.8		418.5		412.6		421.3
Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent)	2.9		2.7		3.2		3.0
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	413.7		421.2		415.8		424.3
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock:
Basic	$	0.92	$	0.77	$	2.62	$	2.27
Diluted	$	0.91	$	0.77	$	2.60	$	2.25

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 1.0 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 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.

12

Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Contract assets increased by $69 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $117 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to billings on contracts in excess of revenue earned.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $1.8 billion related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of September 30, 2023, our total RPO was $17.8 billion. Of the total RPO as of September 30, 2023, we expect approximately 90% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Commercial Paper. As of September 30, 2023, 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 2022, refer to Note 10 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Long-term debt. On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into a new credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated five-year revolving credit facility, with an interest rate on US Dollar denominated borrowings at Otis' option of the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10% or a base rate, and an interest rate on Euro denominated borrowings at Otis' option of the EURIBO rate or a daily simple Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin initially is 1.25% for Term SOFR rate, EURIBO rate and daily simple ESTR rate borrowings, and 0.25% for base rate borrowings, and can fluctuate determined by reference to Otis' public debt ratings, as specified in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The undrawn portion of the Credit Agreement serves as a backstop for the issuance of commercial paper. On March 10, 2023, we also terminated all commitments outstanding under the previous credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on April 3, 2025.

On August 16, 2023, we issued $750 million unsecured, unsubordinated five-year notes due August 16, 2028 (the "Notes") with an interest rate of 5.25%. The net proceeds of the Notes were used to fund the repayment of Otis' commercial paper borrowings and will be used to fund the repayment at maturity of the €500 million 0.000% notes due November 12, 2023, with the remainder used for other general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2023, 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:

Debt discounts and debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 reflects the following:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Debt issuance costs amortization	$	2	$	1	$	5	$	6
Total interest expense on external debt	38		35		105		106

The unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $43 million and $42 million, respectively.

The weighted average maturity of our long-term debt as of September 30, 2023 is approximately 7.5 years. The weighted average interest expense rate on our borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:

	September 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Short-term commercial paper	—%	4.7%
Total long-term debt	2.3%	2.0%

The weighted average interest expense rate on our borrowings during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Short-term commercial paper	5.4%	2.5%	5.0%	1.3%
Total long-term debt	2.1%	2.0%	2.0%	2.0%

Note 8: Employee Benefit Plans

Pension and Postretirement Plans. The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans. Contributions to our plans were as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Postretirement Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors postretirement benefit plans that provide health benefits to eligible retirees. The postretirement plans are unfunded. The net periodic benefit cost was less than $1 million for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation. The Company adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") effective April 3, 2020. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 23 million shares remain available for awards under the Plan.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Stock-based compensation expense (Share Based)	$	15	$	13	$	49	$	41
Stock-based compensation expense (income) (Liability Awards)	—		—		—		(1)
Total gross stock-based compensation expense	15		13		49		40
Less: future tax benefit	2		2		6		5
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	13	$	11	$	43	$	35

As of September 30, 2023, following our annual grant issuance on February 7, 2023, there was approximately $76 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 1.9 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Common Stock. There are 2 billion shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized. As of September 30, 2023, 436.9 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which includes 27.6 million shares of Treasury Stock. As of December 31, 2022, 435.6 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which included 20.8 million shares of Treasury Stock.

Treasury Stock. As of September 30, 2023, 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 approximately $1.4 billion was remaining at such time.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.6 million and 6.8 million shares, respectively, for $225 million and $575 million, respectively, compared to 3.8 million and 9.1 million shares in the same periods of 2022 for $300 million and $700 million, respectively. Beginning January 1, 2023, 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 of September 30, 2023.

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").

Note 11: Income Taxes

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings, reversal of tax reserves related to the U.S. foreign tax credit regulations, and the closure of a foreign tax audit.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is due to a lower forecasted tax cost on repatriation in 2023. This is partially offset by the absence of a tax reserve release related to a forward transfer pricing agreement with a European tax authority and the elimination of Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax in the U.S., recorded in 2022.

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 United States. 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 2010.

A subsidiary of Otis engaged in tax-related litigation in Belgium received a favorable appellate court decision in 2018. The Belgian tax authorities appealed the decision to the Court of Cassation (the equivalent of the Supreme Court in Belgium). On December 4, 2020, the Court of Cassation overturned the decision of the appellate court and remanded the case to the appellate court for reconsideration. Following a hearing on March 20, 2023, the Antwerp Appellate Court ruled against the Company. Otis has decided not to appeal the decision, which marks the end of this litigation. Otis expects to receive the assessment for tax and interest in the quarter ending December 31, 2023. The associated tax and interest have been fully reserved and are included in the range below.

In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. The evaluation considers any additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the closure of tax statutes or the re-valuation of current uncertain tax positions arising from the issuance of legislation, regulatory or other guidance or developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts. Based on the preceding factors, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months unrecognized tax benefits could change within the range of a $10 million increase to a $330 million decrease and associated interest could change within the range of a $5 million increase to a $140 million decrease.

See Note 16, “Contingent Liabilities” for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions, included in the above range, related to pending litigation with respect to certain deductions claimed in Germany.

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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we announced the UpLift program to transform our operating model. The program will include, among other aspects, the standardization of our processes and improving our supply chain procurement, as well as restructuring actions. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $4 million of incremental non-restructuring costs associated with the program ("transformation costs"), including consulting and personnel costs, which were recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no UpLift restructuring actions initiated in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for discussion regarding UpLift restructuring actions approved following period-end.

19

During the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
New Equipment	$	10	$	2	$	15	$	18
Service	11		4		21		27
Total	$	21	$	6	$	36	$	45

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Cost of products and services sold	$	9	$	2	$	11	$	16
Selling, general and administrative	12		4		25		29
Total	$	21	$	6	$	36	$	45

The restructuring expenses incurred during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were primarily the result of restructuring programs initiated during 2023 and 2022. We are targeting to complete by the end of 2024 the majority of remaining restructuring actions initiated in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the full year 2022, with certain utilization beyond 2023 due to legal requirements in the applicable jurisdictions. Expected total costs for the restructuring actions initiated are $120 million, including $43 million to New Equipment and $77 million to Service operating segments, respectively. Remaining costs to incur for the restructuring actions initiated are expected to be $28 million, including $6 million to New Equipment and $22 million to Service operating segments, respectively.

The following table summarizes the accrual balance and utilization for restructuring actions, which are primarily for severance costs and most will require cash payment:

(dollars in millions)
Restructuring accruals as of December 31, 2022	$	41
Net restructuring costs	36
Utilization, foreign exchange and other costs	(35)
Balance as of September 30, 2023	$	42

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 $4.3 billion and $3.9 billion as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The four-quarter average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $24 million and $20 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

20

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(dollars in millions)	Balance Sheet Classification	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments:
	Asset Derivatives:
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets	$	2	$	3
Foreign exchange contracts	Other assets	3		2
	Total asset derivatives	$	5	$	5
	Liability Derivatives:

Commodity contracts	Accrued liabilities	—		(1)
Foreign exchange contracts	Other long-term liabilities	(1)		—
	Total liability derivatives	$	(4)	$	(5)
Derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments:

	Total asset derivatives	$	36	$	28
	Liability Derivatives:

Commodity contracts	Accrued liabilities	—		(4)
Foreign exchange contracts	Other long-term liabilities	(4)		(2)
	Total liability derivatives	$	(21)	$	(26)

Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The amounts of gain or (loss) attributable to foreign exchange and commodity contract activity reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were immaterial for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the table below:

(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$	2	$	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, a pre-tax loss of $1 million is 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 September 30, 2023 will mature by December 2028.

21

Net Investment Hedges. We may use non-derivative (foreign currency denominated debt) and derivative (foreign exchange forward contracts) instruments to hedge portions of the Company's investment in foreign subsidiaries and manage foreign exchange risk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments 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 debt is not designated in or is de-designated from a net investment hedge relationship.

Our use of foreign exchange forward contracts 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, which qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses, as well as notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts of €120 million and HK$2 billion which qualify as net investment hedges against our investments in certain European and Asian businesses, respectively. The net investment hedges are deemed to be effective. Additionally, we had a notional amount of a foreign exchange forward contract of €95 million that qualified as a net investment hedge, which matured during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the net investment hedge was deemed to be effective until maturity. The maturity dates of the current non-derivative and derivative instruments designated in net investment hedges range from 2024 to 2026.

The amounts of gains (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) related to non-derivative and derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges are as follows.

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Foreign currency denominated long-term debt	$	6	$	10	$	18	$	40
Foreign currency forward contracts	2		—		3		—
Total	$	8	$	10	$	21	$	40

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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Foreign exchange contracts	$	4	$	9	$	16	$	12

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 $1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and losses of $8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to losses of $3 million and $11 million in the same periods of 2022, 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 models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks.

As of September 30, 2023, 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.

22

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 notes, as described in Note 7, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit," are 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Note 15: Guarantees

The Company provides service and warranty on its products beyond normal service and warranty policies. The changes in the carrying amount of service and product guarantees for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

(dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Balance as of December 31	$	13	$	20
Warranties	3		1
Settlements made	(5)		(7)
Foreign exchange and other	(1)		(1)
Balance as of September 30	$	10	$	13

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of September 30, 2023, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $128 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 September 30, 2023, 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.

Environmental. As previously disclosed, the Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation by authorities with jurisdiction over its operations. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including, but not limited to, investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassesses these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote. The outstanding liability for environmental obligations was $5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and is principally included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings.

German Tax Litigation

As previously disclosed, we have been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $229 million as of September 30, 2023) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of our operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. We estimate interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $126 million as of September 30, 2023).

24

In August 2012, a suit was filed in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In 2015, our former parent United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), now RTX Corporation ("RTX"), made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter. In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed the suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court. Following a hearing in July 2018, the German Federal Tax Court remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. In December 2020, the local German Tax Court ruled against the Company.

On January 26, 2021, the Company filed an appeal with the German Federal Tax Court. On February 8, 2022, the Company received the decision of the German Federal Tax Court, in which the Court remanded the case for reconsideration by the local German Tax Court. The local German Tax Court held a hearing on June 12, 2023, and issued a decision in favor of Otis on July 21, 2023. On September 14, 2023, the German tax authorities filed an appeal to the German Federal Tax Court. The German Federal Tax Court is expected to rule on the appeal in 2024. As a result of the appeal filing, this matter remains contested, and the Company cannot assess the ultimate outcome of this case.

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") with our former parent, UTC, the Company retains the liability associated with the remaining interest, and has recorded an interest accrual of €45 million (approximately $47 million as of September 30, 2023), net of payments and other deductions, included within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. If the Company prevails in this matter, any recoveries would be allocated between RTX and the Company pursuant to the terms of the TMA.

Asbestos Matters

As previously disclosed, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $21 million to $43 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Since no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amount of $21 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 $5 million, which is principally included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Putative Class Action Lawsuit

On August 12, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit, (Geraud Darnis et al. v. Raytheon Technologies Corporation et al.), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Court") against Otis, RTX, Carrier Global Corporation ("Carrier"), each of their directors, and various incentive and deferred compensation plans in connection with the separation of Otis and Carrier from UTC (the "Separation") in April 2020. On September 13, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against the three company defendants only. The named plaintiffs are former employees of UTC and its current and former subsidiaries, including Otis and Carrier. They seek to recover monetary damages, as well as related declaratory and equitable relief, based on claimed decreases in the value of long-term incentive awards and deferred compensation under nonqualified deferred compensation plans allegedly caused by the formula used to calculate the adjustments to such awards and deferred compensation from RTX, Carrier, and Otis following the spin-offs of Carrier and Otis and the subsequent combination of UTC and Raytheon Company. On September 30, 2022, in response to motions to dismiss filed by the defendants, the Court dismissed the class action in its entirety with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed the decision on October 26, 2022. On August 24, 2023, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals entered judgment in defendants’ favor, upholding the trial court’s decision. This action is concluded.

25

Other. As previously disclosed, 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.

As previously disclosed, 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, historical settlement experience of these cases has not been material to the business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. However, the future outcome of these cases cannot be determined.

As previously disclosed, 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.

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 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. The operating segments are generally based on the management structure of the Company, how management allocates resources, assesses performance and makes strategic and operational decisions.

Note 18: Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 450-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as disclosed in Note 1, "General."

27

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ("ASU 2022-06"), which allows ASU 2020-04 to be adopted and applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2024. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Ventures Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and initial measurement ("ASU 2023-05"), which requires that joint ventures, upon formation, apply a new basis of accounting by initially measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The amendments in ASU 2023-05 are effective for joint ventures that are formed on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard, however we do not expect it to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other new accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after September 30, 2023 did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 19: Subsequent Events

Following period end, on October 5, 2023, UpLift restructuring actions of approximately $55 million were approved, which are expected to be incurred beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 through 2024. These are primarily severance related costs. We expect these actions to be mostly completed and cash to be paid by the end of 2024, with certain actions to be completed beyond 2024 due to legal requirements in the applicable jurisdictions.

28

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Otis Worldwide Corporation for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated October 26, 2023, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional review procedures beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the Act") for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Otis Worldwide Corporation

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 September 30, 2023, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, and of changes in equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2022, 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 3, 2023, 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, 2022, 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 a global strategy is 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 life cycle.

The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2023 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 2022 Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

UpLift Program

The UpLift program was announced in July 2023, with the goal to transform our operating model. The program will include the standardization of our processes and improving our supply chain procurement, among other aspects of the program, as well as restructuring actions. We expect the program to generate approximately $150 million in annual savings by mid-year 2025, with restructuring and other non-recurring costs ("transformation costs") over that period of approximately the same amount. For further details, refer to the discussion on restructuring costs in the "Results of Operations," as well as Note 12 and Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impact of Global Macroeconomic Developments on Our Company

Global macroeconomic developments have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company's operations and overall financial performance during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. These macroeconomic developments include, among others, inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and tighter credit conditions. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2023, as a result of the following, among other things:

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

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

•Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserves; and

•Cancellations or delays of customer orders.

30

We currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic developments, 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 2022 Form 10-K for additional risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including macroeconomic risks associated therewith, and global economic, capital market and political conditions in general, and conditions in the construction and infrastructure industries in particular.

Risks Associated with the Ongoing Conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Other Geo-political Events

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geo-political and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cyber 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).

To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine, which represented less than 1% of our full year 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 revenue and operating profit. As previously disclosed, we sold our business in Russia to a third party on July 27, 2022, which represented approximately 1% of both our revenue and operating profit in 2022.

Additionally, we do not have operations in Israel or Gaza and currently do not expect the recent war in the region to have a material impact on our business.

We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. If the events continue for a significant time or expand to other countries, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2022 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.

Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")

There have been no, and we do not expect there to be in the near term, material impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations as a result of compliance with legislation or regulatory rules regarding climate change, from the known physical effects of climate change or as a result of implementing our ESG initiatives. Increased regulation (including pending SEC and European Union requirements) and other climate change concerns, however, could subject us to additional costs and restrictions, and we are not able to predict how such regulations or concerns would affect our business, operations or financial results.

For additional discussion of Otis’ ESG goals, see the discussion under “Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)” in Item 1 in our 2022 Form 10-K.

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 2022 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

	Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022		2023			2022
Net sales	$	3,523		$	3,344	$	10,589		$	10,246
Percentage change year-over-year	5.4		%			3.3		%

The factors contributing to the total percentage change year-over-year in total Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

Components of Net sales change:	Quarter Ended September 30, 2023		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Organic volume	5.2	%	6.1	%
Foreign currency translation	0.6	%	(2.1)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	(0.4)	%	(0.7)	%
Total % change	5.4	%	3.3	%

The Organic volume increase of 5.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was driven by an increase in organic sales of 8.4% in Service and 1.0% in New Equipment. The Organic volume increase of 6.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by an increase in organic sales of 8.0% in Service and 3.6% in New Equipment.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

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

Cost of Products and Services Sold

	Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022		2023			2022
Total cost of products and services sold	$	2,477		$	2,373	$	7,464		$	7,286
Percentage change year-over-year	4.4		%			2.4		%

The factors contributing to the percentage change year-over-year for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 in total cost of products and services sold are as follows:

Components of Cost of Products and Services Sold change:	Quarter Ended September 30, 2023		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Organic volume	4.3	%	5.7	%
Foreign currency translation	0.4	%	(2.2)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other	(0.3)	%	(1.1)	%
Total % change	4.4	%	2.4	%

The organic increase in Total cost of products and services sold for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the organic sales increases noted above. Inflationary pressures, including annual wage increases and higher Service related material costs were mitigated by productivity and lower commodity prices, primarily steel.

The decrease in Total cost of products and services sold due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross Margin

	Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Gross margin	$	1,046		$	971		$	3,125		$	2,960
Gross margin percentage	29.7		%	29.0		%	29.5		%	28.9		%

Gross margin percentage increased 70 and 60 basis points for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the same periods for 2022, due to the benefit from Service sales growing faster than New Equipment sales, favorable pricing, lower commodity prices, and the benefits from productivity, partially 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 September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Research and development	$	36		$	37		$	107		$	112
Percentage of Net sales	1.0		%	1.1		%	1.0		%	1.1		%

Research and development was relatively flat for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to the same periods for 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative

	Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022			2023			2022
Selling, general and administrative	$	452		$	417		$	1,386		$	1,315
Percentage of Net sales	12.8		%	12.5		%	13.1		%	12.8		%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $35 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 driven by annual wage increases, higher other employment related costs, higher restructuring costs and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts of $5 million, partially offset by cost containment actions when compared to the same period in 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $71 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 driven by annual wage increases and higher other employment related costs, partially offset by cost containment actions, lower restructuring costs and favorable foreign exchange impacts of $14 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was also impacted by higher credit loss reserves.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased 30 basis points for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Restructuring and Transformation Costs

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Restructuring costs	$	36	$	45

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.

33

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we also incurred $4 million of incremental non-restructuring costs associated with the UpLift program ("transformation costs"), including consulting and personnel costs, which were recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no UpLift restructuring actions initiated in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion regarding UpLift restructuring actions approved following period-end.

Total restructuring costs were $36 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and included $31 million of costs related to 2023 actions and $5 million of costs related to 2022 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the expected cash payments to complete the actions announced:

(dollars in millions)
Cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2023	$	30
Expected cash payments remaining to complete actions announced	70

We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $28 million for the 2023 actions and $66 million for the 2022 actions, of which approximately $55 million was realized for the 2023 and 2022 actions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 12 and Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Other income (expense), net	$	13	$	12	$	32	$	9

The change in Other Income (Expense), Net, of $1 million and $23 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, was primarily driven by the absence of the loss on the sale of our Russia business and related charges of $6 million and $24 million when compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively, partially offset by UpLift transformation costs of $4 million in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023. These periods were also impacted by foreign currency mark-to-market adjustments.

Interest Expense (Income), Net

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest expense (income), net	$	39	$	35	$	109	$	107

Interest Expense (Income), increased $4 million and $2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively, driven by higher interest expense related to the $750 million unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued in August 2023, partially offset by higher interest income.

The average interest rate on our long-term debt for each of the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 2%. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

34

Income Taxes

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Effective tax rate	25.8	%	29.0	%	25.7	%	26.7	%

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings, reversal of tax reserves related to the U.S. foreign tax credit regulations, and the closure of a foreign tax audit.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is due to a lower forecasted tax cost on repatriation in 2023. This is partially offset by the absence of a tax reserve release related to a forward transfer pricing agreement with a European tax authority and the elimination of Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax in the U.S., recorded in 2022.

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

For additional discussion of income taxes and the effective income tax rate, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings	$	19	$	26	$	71	$	95
Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation	$	376	$	324	$	1,083	$	956

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings were $(7) million lower for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by the impacts of foreign exchange and net income from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. Ownership interest in the underlying non-wholly owned subsidiaries has remained generally consistent year-over-year.

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings were $(24) million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by Otis' increased ownership in Otis Mobility (formerly Zardoya Otis) starting in the second quarter of 2022, as well as impacts of foreign exchange and net income from non-wholly owned subsidiaries. For details on the results of the Tender Offer and purchases of shares of Otis Mobility not previously owned by the Company, see Note 1 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, due to higher operating profit (including the impact of foreign exchange rates), lower noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings, and a lower effective tax rate.

Summary analysis of the Net sales change for New Equipment for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:

Components of Net sales change:	Quarter Ended September 30, 2023		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Organic volume	1.0	%	3.6	%
Foreign currency translation	(0.9)	%	(3.0)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other	(0.9)	%	(1.9)	%
Total % change	(0.8)	%	(1.3)	%

Quarter Ended September 30, 2023

Net sales

The organic sales increase of 1.0% was driven by high-single digit organic sales growth in Americas and EMEA, partially offset by mid-single digit organic sales decline in Asia.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating profit

New Equipment operating profit decreased $(6) million including foreign exchange headwinds of ($9) million with volume relatively flat. Favorable price, improved productivity and commodity tailwinds more than offset regional and product mix headwinds and higher selling, general and administrative costs. Operating profit was also impacted by higher restructuring costs. Operating margin decreased 30 basis points.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Net sales

The organic sales increase of 3.6% was driven by high-single digit organic sales growth in EMEA, mid-single digit organic sales growth in Americas and low-single digit organic sales growth in Asia.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

Operating profit

New Equipment operating profit decreased $(15) million including $(23) million of foreign exchange headwinds. Higher volume, favorable price, improved productivity and commodity tailwinds were partially offset by regional and product mix headwinds and higher selling, general and administrative costs. Operating margin decreased 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.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,636		$	1,189
Total debt	7,407			6,768
Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)	5,771			5,579
Total equity	(4,733)			(4,799)
Total capitalization (total debt plus total equity)	2,674			1,969
Net capitalization (total debt plus total equity less cash and cash equivalents)	1,038			780
Total debt to total capitalization	277		%	344		%
Net debt to net capitalization	556		%	715		%

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 billion, of which approximately 64% was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Domestic cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 includes amounts that will be used to fund the repayment at maturity of the €500 million 0.000% notes due November 12, 2023. 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $5 million and $6 million, respectively.

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 September 30, 2023 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.

As of September 30, 2023, we had a revolving credit agreement with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated five-year revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2023, 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.

On August 16, 2023, we issued $750 million unsecured, unsubordinated five-year notes due August 16, 2028 (the "Notes") with an interest rate of 5.25%. The net proceeds of the Notes were used to fund the repayment of Otis' commercial paper borrowings and will be used to fund the repayment at maturity of the €500 million 0.000% notes due November 12, 2023, with the remainder used for other general corporate purposes. The Company redeemed the $500 million floating notes originally due in 2023 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

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.

On December 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, of which approximately $1.4 billion was remaining as of September 30, 2023. 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.

Cash Flows

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

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,030	$	1,096
Investing activities	(132)		62
Financing activities	(418)		(3,402)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(34)		(191)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	446	$	(2,435)

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 decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by working capital balances during the periods, including a decrease in Accounts payable in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to an increase the same period in 2022, due to the timing of payments to suppliers and higher balances due as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021, as well as a smaller inflow from net Contract assets and liabilities, current in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts. These were partially offset by the timing of income tax payments and a smaller increase in Inventories in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 billion. The primary driver of the inflow related to $1.2 billion of net income and changes in Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts. These were partially offset by an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion. The primary driver of the inflow related to $1.1 billion of net income. An increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings, a decrease in Accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments of employee-related benefits, income taxes and other accruals, and an increase in Inventories to support backlog conversion were partially offset by changes in Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts and increased Accounts payable due to the timing of payments to suppliers.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $132 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to $96 million of capital expenditures, $27 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets and $21 million of net cash payments from the settlement of derivative instruments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by investing activities was $62 million. The primary drivers of the inflow were $121 million of net cash receipts from the settlement of derivative instruments and $61 million of net proceeds from the sale of our business in Russia in the third quarter of 2022, which were partially offset by $81 million of capital expenditures and $38 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets.

41

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $418 million. The primary drivers of the outflow were the repurchases of our Common Stock of $575 million, dividends paid on our Common Stock of $400 million and net repayments of short-term borrowings of $90 million, which were partially offset by $741 million of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. A portion of the proceeds from the long-term debt issuance will be used to fund the repayment at maturity of the €500 million 0.000% notes due November 12, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $3.4 billion. The primary drivers of the outflow were the settlement in cash of the tender offer for shares of Zardoya Otis not previously owned (the "Tender Offer") for $1.8 billion, repurchases of our Common Stock of $700 million, repayments of long-term debt of $500 million and dividends paid on our Common Stock of $345 million.

For additional discussion of the Tender Offer, see Note 1 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K. For additional discussion of borrowing activity, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 2023 Euro Notes, the 2026 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 10: Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 in our 2022 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Item 5 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2022 Form 10-K discloses our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, outside the ordinary course of business except for those disclosed in "Note 7, Borrowings and Lines of Credit" within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2022 Form 10-K.

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 Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. 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 September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information about our purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of equity securities that are registered by us pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

2023	Total Number of Shares Purchased (thousands)	Average Price Paid per Share (1)		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of a Publicly Announced Program (thousands)	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program (dollars in millions)
July 1 - July 31	55	$	90.79	55	$	1,645
August 1 - August 31	2,067	85.79		2,067	$	1,468
September 1 - September 30	510	84.21		510	$	1,425
Total	2,632	$	85.51	2,632

(1)     Average price paid per share includes any broker commissions associated with the repurchases.

On December 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2023, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this current program was approximately $1.4 billion. 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 Exchange Act.

Item 5. Other Information

Insider Adoption or Termination of Trading Arrangements

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, except for Ms. Marks, our Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Regulation S-K. On July 28, 2023, Ms. Marks adopted a trading plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c). Under this plan, the shares received by Ms. Marks upon the vesting of the performance stock units ("PSUs") granted to her by the Company on February 5, 2021 (after giving effect to tax withholding and a previous election to defer 50% of the PSU shares earned) will be sold at the market price so long as the

47

Company’s common stock is trading at or above a limit price. The plan will terminate at the close of business on the day the shares become available for sale even if the Company’s common stock is trading below the limit price and the shares are not sold. We expect that the plan will terminate in early February 2024, shortly after the date the PSUs are expected to vest.

The number of shares that may be sold by Ms. Marks upon vesting of the PSUs will depend upon the Company’s achievement of the underlying financial performance goals and the application of a multiplier factor based on our relative total shareowner return over the 2021-2023 performance period, and can range from 0 to 200% of the sum of the target PSUs granted plus additional PSUs credited for dividend equivalents. Ms. Marks was granted 65,355 “target” PSUs on February 5, 2021. However, because Ms. Marks previously elected to defer receipt of 50% of the PSUs to be earned under our PSU Deferral Plan, the number of shares delivered to her at vesting and available for sale will be accordingly reduced. Assuming the shares are sold under the plan, we estimate, based on our projected performance against the underlying financial performance goals, our relative total shareholder return through the last trading day of the quarter ending September 30, 2023, current tax withholding rates, future crediting of dividend equivalents assuming our current dividend remains unchanged and a stock price of $80.31 (the closing price of our stock on the last trading day of the quarter ending September 30, 2023), and Ms. Marks election to defer 50% of the PSUs, that 37,080 shares could be sold under the plan.
