Item 1A. Risk Factors
40 rewritten, 18 added, 16 removed, 207 unchanged
Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows may be adversely affected by changes in global economic conditions, including levels of consumer and business confidence, commodity prices, raw material and energy costs, supply chain issues, trade [removed: policies,] [added: policies (including] tariffs and trade [removed: barriers,] [added: barriers),] foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, labor costs, levels of government spending and deficits, actual or anticipated default on sovereign debt, political [removed: conditions, including in connection with the new administration's policies and priorities] [added: conditions] in the U.S. or otherwise, regulatory changes and other challenges that could affect the global economy.
The occurrence of one or more unexpected events, including war (see discussion below regarding ongoing conflicts), acts of terrorism or violence, civil unrest, [added: pandemics,] fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and other forms of [added: natural disasters or] severe weather, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise, in the United States or in other countries in which we operate or in which our suppliers are located could [removed: adversely affect] [added: result in physical damage to and complete or partial closure of one or more of] our [removed: operations] [added: manufacturing facilities or temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of component products from some of our suppliers, disruption] and [removed: financial performance.][added: delay in the transport of our products to customers or limit our access to building sites to install our products or perform our services.]
The impacts of these unexpected events are difficult to predict, but could result in higher costs or delays in our operations [removed: and] [added: and/or] adversely affect [added: economic conditions in the regions where we operate and] our financial performance.
We conduct our business on a global basis, with approximately [removed: 70%] [added: 71%] of our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] net sales derived from international operations.
Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates have given and may continue to give rise to gains or losses when financial statements of non-U.S. operating units are translated [added: into U.S. dollars.]
Our international operations subject us to risks associated with government policies on international trade and investments and risks [removed: associated with] [added: in general and particularly in] China.
The implementation of more restrictive trade policies, including [removed: the imposition of further] tariffs [removed: in connection with the new administration in the U.S.] and retaliatory [removed: tariffs] [added: actions] in response thereto, or the renegotiation of existing trade agreements with the U.S. or countries where we sell large quantities of products and services, procure materials incorporated into our products, manufacture products or recruit and employ employees (see discussion on China below), could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial [removed: condition, including our ability to recruit and retain employees or deploy certain employees to the geographies where their skills are best utilized.][added: condition.]
International transactions [removed: may] [added: also] involve increased financial and legal risks due to differing legal systems and customs in foreign [removed: countries.][added: countries, which could result in increased costs, risk of fines or penalties as well as reputational harm.]
China is currently the largest end market for sales of new equipment in our industry, with our New Equipment net sales in China representing approximately one [removed: fourth] [added: fifth] of our global New Equipment net sales and over half of our global New Equipment unit volume and a growing part of our Service segment.
Changes to market and economic conditions in China, including credit conditions for our customers, [removed: or an escalation of trade conflicts between the U.S. and China,] have recently impacted and may continue to impact our ability to maintain New Equipment net sales in China at rates consistent with prior [removed: years.][added: years as well as future growth of our Service segment.]
Furthermore, as is the case in many countries where we operate, [removed: the legal and regulatory changes in China,] [added: China] could impose [removed: significant] [added: additional regulatory and legal requirements, including] requirements [removed: unique to China] [added: that could increase costs] in [removed: order to maintain] [added: China and/or restrict] access to Chinese [removed: markets and] [added: markets, which could] negatively impact our overall financial performance.
Our international sales and operations are subject to risks associated with geopolitical [removed: conflicts.][added: conflicts, including the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and instability in the Middle East.]
[removed: The ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East] [added: Geopolitical conflicts, including threats related thereto,] have resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, and we cannot predict how [removed: the] conflicts will evolve or the timing thereof.
If [removed: these] [added: current geopolitical] conflicts [removed: continue for a significant time or further] expand to other countries and depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they or new geopolitical conflicts could have additional adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to, increased costs, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruptions and decreased business spending.
[added: Furthermore, continuation of the conflicts could give rise to disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology] infrastructure, including through cyberattack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; 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.
We design, manufacture, install and service products that incorporate advanced technologies; the introduction of new products and [removed: technologies] [added: technologies, including artificial intelligence,] involves risks, and we may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our technological advancements, such as the development and execution of advanced [removed: digital technologies] [added: technologies, including artificial intelligence ("AI"),] for the benefit of our New Equipment or Service segment or the development of new products depends on a variety of factors, including meeting development, production, certification and regulatory approval schedules; execution of internal and external performance plans; availability of supplier and internally produced parts and materials; performance of suppliers and subcontractors; hiring and training of qualified personnel; [added: employee adoption of new technologies;] achieving cost and production efficiencies; validation of innovative technologies; [added: our ability to maintain new products at the Service levels] and [added: costs anticipated; and] customer interest in new technologies and products and acceptance of products we manufacture or that incorporate technologies we develop.
We or our [removed: customers,] suppliers or subcontractors may encounter difficulties in developing and producing new products and services, and may not realize the degree or timing of benefits initially anticipated or may otherwise suffer significant adverse financial consequences.
If we are unable to successfully develop and timely introduce new products, services and technologies, our competitors may develop competing technologies that gain market acceptance in advance of or instead of our products or [removed: services.][added: services that might cause our existing technology and offerings to become obsolete, which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.]
In order to operate more efficiently and cost effectively, we have and may continue to adjust employment, optimize our footprint or undertake other restructuring or transformation activities, including in connection with UpLift and [added: our China business, and] related [removed: outsourcing activities] [added: reorganization, transformation] and [removed: change management.][added: outsourcing activities, as applicable.]
Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include unfavorable political responses, unforeseen delays in the implementation of anticipated workforce reductions, additional unexpected costs, challenges in change management, adverse effects on employee morale and capacity, and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees or work [removed: stoppages,] [added: stoppages or transitioning work to third parties,] any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions, otherwise harm our business or have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We compete with other companies both within and outside of our industry for talented personnel in a highly competitive labor market, and we may lose key personnel or fail to attract [removed: other] [added: sufficient] skilled personnel and incur additional labor costs.
As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we had [removed: $8.3] [added: $7.7] billion outstanding long-term debt.
We seek to grow through strategic [removed: acquisitions] [added: acquisitions, including of the interests] in [added: certain ventures and entities which we do not already wholly own, in] addition to internal growth.
In certain regions, we operate our business through joint venture relationships or non-wholly owned subsidiaries, [removed: including: Otis Electric Elevator Company Limited and] [added: including] Otis Elevator (China) Investment Limited in China.
Uncertainty relating to those laws or regulations may also affect how we operate, structure our [removed: investments] [added: investments, structure our contracts] and [added: comply with the terms of these contracts and/or] enforce our [removed: rights.][added: rights thereunder.]
Violations of the FCPA, antitrust or other anti-corruption or anti-collusion laws, [added: government contract laws,] or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, cause reputational harm, involve significant management distraction and result in a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
For a description of current material legal proceedings, see "Note [removed: 21:] [added: 20:] Contingent Liabilities" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Our ability to [removed: achieve any goal or objective, including with respect to ESG initiatives,] [added: deliver on our sustainability and responsibility initiatives] is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control.
Examples of such risks include: (1) the availability and cost of low- or non-carbon-based energy sources and technologies, (2) third-party coordination and alignment over which we do not have control and [added: which] may be unpredictable, (3) evolving regulatory requirements affecting [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability or responsibility related] standards or disclosures, (4) the availability of suppliers that can meet our [removed: sustainability, inclusion and other] [added: sustainability-related] standards, and (5) our ability to recruit, develop, and retain talent in our labor markets.
In addition, standards for tracking and reporting on [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability-related] matters have not been harmonized and continue to evolve.
Our processes and controls for reporting of [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability and responsibility] matters [added: have been enhanced but] may not always comply with evolving and disparate standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting [removed: ESG] metrics globally, our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others, and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our performance metrics, [removed: goals] [added: climate-related targets] or reported progress in achieving such [removed: goals] [added: targets] and increased compliance costs and risks.
If our [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability and responsibility] practices do not meet evolving regulations, investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, then our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our attractiveness as an investment, supplier, or business partner could be negatively impacted, or could result in litigation.
In addition, our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our [removed: goals, targets, and objectives] [added: climate-related targets] within the timelines we announce, or at all, could have similar negative impacts.
The performance of the financial markets and interest [removed: rates] [added: rates,] as well statutory and/or regulatory [removed: changes] [added: changes,] can impact our defined benefit pension plan expenses and funding obligations.
See "Note [removed: 12:] [added: 11:] Employee Benefit Plans" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion on pension plans and related obligations and contingencies.
Any of the foregoing factors could result in reputational damage or civil or governmental [removed: proceedings,] [added: proceedings and/or substantial monetary damages or fines,] which could result in a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We and some of our third-party suppliers have experienced cyber-based attacks, and, due to the evolving threat landscape, may continue to experience [added: them going forward, potentially with more frequency.]
We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements, customer and supplier agreements, license agreements, [removed: non-compete agreements,] [added: restrictive covenants,] information technology security systems, internal controls and compliance systems and other measures to protect our intellectual property.
See "Business Overview" and "Results of Operations – Income Taxes" in Item 7 and "Note 2: [added: Summary of] Significant Accounting Policies" and "Note [removed: 15:] [added: 14:] Income Taxes" in Item 8 in this Form 10-K, for further discussion on income taxes and related contingencies.
These impacts may include hindering our ability to recruit and retain employees or deploy certain employees to the geographies where their skills are best utilized, increased costs for our customers, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished economic expectations, which could ultimately reduce demand for our products.
While we take steps to mitigate or avoid these increased costs, disruptions and legal risks due to changes in trade policies, our ability to do so may be limited by operational and supply chain constraints, especially in the short term.
In addition, our ability to recover cost increases and maintain profitability levels through price adjustments may be limited by competitive pressures, customer acceptance, and contractual limitations.
Tariff actions by the U.S. and retaliatory actions by other countries have caused, and may in the future cause, significant disruption and volatility in the financial markets, which could adversely affect the availability, terms and cost of capital, including with respect to refinancing our existing debt, and which in turn could reduce our cash flows and harm our business.
Additionally, the escalation of trade conflicts between the U.S. and China could further impact economic conditions in the U.S. and China.
Further, as we integrate emerging and rapidly evolving technologies, including AI, into our products and services, we face evolving risks related to safety, data governance, regulatory compliance and intellectual property and may not be able to anticipate or identify vulnerabilities, design flaws or security threats resulting from the use of such technology and develop adequate protection measures, which could lead to unintended consequences and significantly impact our business, reputation, and financial results.
Changes in these laws or their interpretation, administration and/or enforcement may also occur over time.
Additionally, we provide products and services to government entities.
Government contract laws and regulations impose certain risks.
If violations of law are found, they could result in civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refund of a portion of fees received, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future government business.
Each of these factors could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation.
See discussion of other risks associated with our international business, including changes in trade policies, discussed above and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
We are impacted by evolving stakeholder interest in sustainability and responsibility matters.
We report on our sustainability and responsibility projects and programs, as required by applicable law and voluntarily.
Our strategies reflect our focus on projects and programs that tie to business performance allowing us to adapt to evolving market needs and pursue new opportunities in alignment with our business strategies.
Nonetheless, there is no certainty that these projects and programs will deliver the desired outcomes.
As global standards and regulations relating to AI increase and change, they could result in additional costs, regulatory scrutiny, legal liability and reputational harm, including if we fail to comply with such standards and regulations.
Additionally, misuse of sensitive data used in AI models may lead to privacy violations or non-compliance with data protection laws.
Natural disasters, pandemics, equipment failures, prolonged power outages or other unexpected events could result in physical damage to and complete or partial closure of one or more of our manufacturing facilities or temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of component products from some local, national and international suppliers, disruption and delay in the transport of our products to customers or limit our access building sites and to install our products or perform our services.
into U.S. dollars.
Furthermore, continuation of the conflicts could give rise to disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology
See Item 7 "Business Overview" in this Form 10-K for more information regarding the sale of our business in Russia.
The possibility also exists that our competitors might develop new technology or offerings that might cause our existing technology and offerings to become obsolete, which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We are impacted by evolving stakeholder interest in public company performance, disclosure, and goal-setting with respect to ESG matters.
We have increased reporting of our ESG programs and performance, as required by applicable law and voluntarily, and have established and announced goals and other objectives related to ESG matters.
These goal statements reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them.
them going forward, potentially with more frequency.
Potential liabilities may arise due to fraudulent transfer considerations, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In connection with the Separation, our former parent UTC undertook several corporate reorganization transactions involving its subsidiaries, which, including the Separation of Otis, may be subject to various fraudulent conveyance and transfer laws.
If, under these laws, a court were to determine that, at the time of the Separation, any entity involved in these reorganization transactions or the Separation: (1) was insolvent, was rendered insolvent by reason of the Separation, or had remaining assets constituting unreasonably small capital, and (2) received less than fair consideration in connection with the reorganization; or intended to incur, or believed it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay these debts as they matured, then the court could void the Separation, in whole or in part, as a fraudulent conveyance or transfer.
The court could then require our shareholders to return to RTX some or all of the shares of the Common Stock issued in the distribution, or require RTX or Otis, as the case may be, to fund liabilities of the other company for the benefit of creditors.
The measure of insolvency would vary depending upon the jurisdiction and the applicable law.
Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if the fair value of its assets was less than the amount of its liabilities (including the probable amount of contingent liabilities), or if it incurred debt beyond its ability to repay the debt as it matures.
No assurance can be given as to what standard a court would apply to determine insolvency or that a court would determine that Otis or any of its subsidiaries were solvent at the time of or after giving effect to the distribution.

We are the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, [removed: installation and] [added: installation,] service [added: and modernization] company.
Modernization offerings [removed: can] range from relatively simple upgrades of interior finishes and aesthetics to complex upgrades of larger components and [removed: sub-systems.][added: sub-systems, including the machine, ropes or belts, safety systems and the entire car or escalator.]

The Company generated approximately $70 million of pre-tax savings in [added: each of 2025 and] 2024, including run-rate savings of approximately [added: $200 million and] $120 million, [added: respectively,] driven by our simplified operating structure, optimized organizational spans and layers, and reduced digital technology costs.

For further details, refer to the discussion on restructuring costs in the "Results of Operations," as well as "Note [removed: 16:] [added: 15:] Restructuring and Transformation Costs" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 in this Form 10-K.
This expense is included in Other [removed: expense (income),] [added: income (expense),] net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for 2024.
For further details, refer to "Note [removed: 15:] [added: 14:] Income Taxes" and "Note [removed: 21: Contingencies"] [added: 20: Contingent Liabilities"] to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 in this Form 10-K.
These macroeconomic conditions include, among others, inflationary pressures, high interest [removed: rates and] [added: rates,] tighter credit [removed: conditions.][added: conditions and changes in global trade policies including higher tariffs in the U.S. and other countries.]
These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance in [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] as a result of the following, among other things:
[removed: We] [added: Other than the impact from new tariffs] currently [added: in effect of approximately $20 million during 2025 and a similar impact anticipated in 2026, we currently] do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic conditions, including to our overall liquidity position based on our available cash and cash equivalents and our access to credit facilities and the capital markets.
[removed: As discussed below, we] [added: We] do not have operations in Russia.
To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine, which represented less than 1% of our [removed: 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] and [removed: 2022 revenue] [added: 2023 net sales] and operating profit.
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 [removed: ESG initiatives.][added: sustainability-related initiatives or from transitional risks such as increased regulations or customer shifting preference toward low carbon products, as determined under our climate scenarios.]
[removed: Increased regulation and other] [added: 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 a discussion of risks associated with [removed: ESG] [added: sustainability-related] matters, see Item 1A in this Form 10-K.

The annual run-rate savings generated by UpLift are approximately $200 million.
Based on additional information received from RTX during the year, which resulted in additional indemnification expense of $67 million, offset by indemnity payments made to RTX of $205 million, the Company now estimates the amount payable to RTX to be $56 million.
The indemnification expense is included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2025.
This estimate could further change due to the parties' continuing dispute concerning the scope of the final indemnity amount, which will be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in the TMA.

The change in Interest expense (income), net of $227 million in 2025 compared to 2024, was primarily driven by the absence of $200 million of interest income related to the favorable ruling received in August 2024 regarding a tax litigation in Germany, higher interest related to the $600 million and €850 million unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued in November 2024, as well as the $500 million unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued in September 2025, partially offset by lower interest expense related to the repayment of the $1.3 billion unsecured, unsubordinated debt in April 2025.
Interest expense (income), net in 2025 was also impacted by interest reserve adjustments related to non-recurring tax items.
The 2025 effective tax rate is higher than the statutory U.S. rate primarily due to higher international tax rates as compared to the lower U.S. federal statutory rate.
The 2025 effective tax rate is higher than the 2024 effective tax rate primarily due to the absence of estimated tax benefits arising from the resolution of the German tax litigation and the absence of the reduction in a deferred tax liability related to the mitigation of future repatriation costs, both recorded in 2024, and the tax effect of the increase in our estimated nondeductible TMA indemnity obligation payable to RTX recorded in 2025.
These impacts were partially offset by an incremental benefit related to foreign-derived intangible income and foreign valuation allowance releases recorded in 2025.

Zardoya Otis Tender Offer
As previously disclosed, the Company announced the Tender Offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis not owned by Otis, at an offer price of €7.07 per share in cash, after adjusting for dividends.
The results of the Tender Offer were announced on April 7, 2022, with tenders of 45.49% of the shares outstanding accepted.
The shares tendered to the Company were settled in cash on April 12, 2022 for approximately €1.5 billion from the Company's restricted cash held in escrow, resulting in the Company owning 95.51% of Zardoya Otis.
The acquisition and settlement of the remaining issued and outstanding shares not owned by the Company for approximately €150 million (based on the adjusted tender price of €7.07 per share) and the automatic delisting of Zardoya Otis shares both occurred during the second quarter of 2022.
Zardoya Otis was renamed Otis Mobility upon completion of the Tender Offer and delisting.
See "Note 1: Business Overview" and "Note 9: Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 in this Form 10-K for further details regarding this transaction and financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Tender Offer.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net in 2023 is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.
The decrease in Total cost of products and services sold due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net and Other in 2023 is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.
Interest expense (income), net increased $7 million in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily driven by higher interest expense related to the $750 million unsecured, unsubordinated debt issued in August 2023, partially offset by higher interest income.
The 2023 effective tax rate is lower than the 2022 effective tax rate primarily due to the absence of the tax impact related to the sale of our Russia business recorded in 2022, as well as the release of valuation allowances on non-U.S. losses and U.S. foreign tax credits, reduction in the deferred tax liability related to lower withholding tax on repatriation of certain foreign earnings, and reversal of tax reserves related to the U.S. foreign tax credit regulations, all recorded in 2023.
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: Business Overview" in Item 8 in this Form 10-K.

2023 Compared with 2022
New Equipment operating profit was flat, including $(26) 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 was flat.

There is no commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
On January 16, 2025, our Board of Directors revoked any remaining share repurchase authority under the prior share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock.
These were offset by a smaller increase in Accounts payable in 2023 compared to 2022 due to the timing of payments to suppliers and higher balances due as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 and other working capital changes.
These were partially offset by an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the volume and timing of billings.
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities in 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to the absence of the settlement of the Tender Offer in 2022.

Sustainability and Responsibility
At Otis, sustainability and responsibility are strategically woven into each of our core business functions in support of our vision and our commitment to living our Otis mission as a world-class, customer-centric, service-oriented company.
Together with our Otis Absolutes of Safety, Ethics and Quality and our Leading at Otis Behaviors, our projects and programs under our four pillars of Health & Safety, Governance & Accountability, Environment & Impact and People & Communities advance our five strategic objectives – of sustaining New Equipment growth, accelerating our Service portfolio growth, delivering modernization value, and focusing and empowering our organization while advancing digitalization – to create value for our stakeholders and the broader communities where we live and work.
We are committed to environmental sustainability as a business strategy, advancing digitalization and leveraging smart technology to create products and services that meet customer expectations.
We position ourselves to attract, develop and retain the best talent in the market.
Our climate strategy is designed to build resiliency and strengthen the operational efficiency of our business and supply chain.
It is based on our climate scenario analysis under the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), near-term SBTs and the implementation of major initiatives in the near-term, medium-term and long-term focused on energy management and operational efficiency across our factories, real estate portfolio and fleet, real estate portfolio climate resilience, product sustainability through the advancement of digitalization and innovation and responsible climate resilient sourcing.
In June 2025, we published our fourth annual voluntary report describing our sustainability-related strategies, programs, and actions in alignment with our business strategies, and providing performance data and metrics under our four pillars.
It was drafted in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board guidelines for the Resource Transformation sector (with Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Industrial Machinery and Goods as subsectors, when applicable), and the TCFD recommendations.
Underscoring the integration of sustainability and responsibility into our core business operations Otis has enhanced its sustainability-related governance model by further rooting sustainability within each business function.
Functional leads are responsible for sustainability-related topics within their respective functions, with direct oversight by the CEO and, ultimately, the Board of Directors (including the Nominations and Governance Committee).
These functional leaders are supported by functional committees and workstreams that oversee sustainability-related strategies at the functional level.
These groups collaborate with subject matter experts across their functions to develop and implement sustainable-related strategies that align with our vision.
We perform strategic talent outreach to expand our applicant pool and ensure access to top-qualified candidates.
When seeking candidates or promoting Otis colleagues, we focus on matching the best talent to open roles in support of our organizational model and business needs, thereby driving value for our company and its stakeholders.
Our BRGs have evolved to ensure global alignment and greater accountability for business goals while offering programming for our Otis colleagues relevant to our "4C pillars" of Career, Culture, Customer, and Community.
- new business and investment opportunities and the realization of anticipated benefits, including meeting customer expectations and maintaining our competitiveness;
In 2023, we introduced the new Gen3 Core elevator in North America, which was designed specifically for low-rise buildings, bringing passengers connectivity, style, and comfort.
The Gen3 Core helps minimize energy consumption, material usage and installation costs.
Initially launched in Europe, we expanded the Gen360 platform into China in 2023.
The Otis ONE IoT solution adds a network of sensors for real-time status updates.
*SkyRise High-Rise*
Our GEN3 MOD Plus modernization offering for residential, commercial, hospitality, medical or industrial buildings includes built-in connectivity to our Otis ONE IoT digital platform.
Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")
Otis has an integrated approach to ESG.
Our four ESG pillars of Health & Safety, Environment & Impact, People & Communities and Governance & Accountability are embedded in our business strategy and align with our Otis Absolutes of Safety, Ethics and Quality.
We are committed to managing our impact on the environment, aligning our products and services with our stakeholders’ expectations and aspirations.
We focus on attracting, developing and retaining the best talent on the market.
In 2021, we became a signatory to the U.N. Global Compact and published our thirteen ESG goals and aligned them with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Environment & Impact goals are as follows:
▪Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and use of sold products 33% by 2033 from 2021 base year
- Source 100% of factory electricity from renewable energy by 2030
- Achieve 100% factory eligibility for zero-waste-to-landfill certification by 2025
- Complete ISO 14001 certification for all factories by 2025 (goal completed four years early in 2021)
In April 2024, the Science Based Target Initiative ("SBTi") validated our near-term science-based GHG reduction targets.
Our new science-based targets replace our GHG target of 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from 2019 base year.
Our climate transition plan is based on the implementation of major initiatives focused on energy management and operational efficiency across our factories, real estate and fleet.
In June 2024, we published our third annual ESG report on our ESG activities, metrics and progress towards our goals in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, as well as in alignment with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board guidelines and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
In the Fall 2024, we conducted our initial double materiality assessment in accordance with the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
The Company has developed an ESG governance model that supports our goals.
Our Board of Directors and its committees engage in extensive review and oversight of ESG-related topics.
The Company's ESG Council, composed of senior leaders representing multiple functions within the Company, monitors our performance towards our ESG goals and addresses impacts and opportunities related to climate change, as well as those related to all other ESG programs.
The ESG Council reports regularly to our CEO on our ESG progress and actions.
Our progress towards our ESG goals was included as a performance multiplier in determining payouts under our 2024 executive short-term incentive plan.
Increased regulation 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.
We aim to be both an equal opportunity employer of choice and a place where our colleagues feel safe, welcomed and heard.
We partner with universities and nonprofit organizations and use our Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs") to broaden our hiring pool to meet our hiring needs.
Our ERGs’ missions aim at fostering an inclusive work environment through engagement that positively impacts business outcomes.

The Company has started to receive refunds and anticipates the refund process to continue into 2026.
As a result, Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 include an income tax receivable of approximately $75 million and $175 million, respectively, and an interest receivable of approximately $65 million and $140 million, respectively.
Based on additional information received from RTX during the year, which resulted in additional indemnification expense of $67 million, offset by indemnity payments made to RTX of $205 million, the Company now estimates the amount payable to RTX to be $56 million.
In October 2025, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of Otis Electric Elevator Company Limited ("Otis Electric") from the noncontrolling shareholder for approximately $215 million ($80 million from Cash and $135 million from borrowings).
Otis Electric is now 100% owned by our joint venture Otis Elevator (China) Investment Company Limited ("Otis China") and one of its subsidiaries.
The impact to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was not significant.
New import tariffs implemented by the U.S. and other countries, as currently in effect, could have a material impact on our results in 2026 and future years.
The impact of tariffs is dependent upon negotiations with customers and suppliers and other mitigation efforts and potential further changes in global trade policies, including higher tariffs in the U.S. or other countries.
*Trade receivables.* Trade receivables as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are $3.7 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.
Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contract terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones.
Customer financing notes receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are $47 million and $55 million, respectively, and are included in Accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): *Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity*.
The amendments in this update require an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business to consider the factors in the ASU to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): *Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.* The amendments in this Update provide a practical expedient when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.
The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.
We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard, however; we do not expect it to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): *Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*.
The amendments in this update remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as "project stages") throughout Subtopic 350-40.
The amendments in this update specify that the disclosures in Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment—Overall, are required for all capitalized internal-use software costs, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements.
Additionally, the amendments clarify that the intangibles disclosures in paragraphs 350-30-50-1 through 50-3 are not required for capitalized internal-use software costs.
The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.
We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): *Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract*.
The amendments in this update exclude from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract.
The amendments in ASU 2025-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.
Early adoption is permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): *Hedge Accounting Improvements*.
Consistent with the original objective of Update 2017-12, the objective of this Update is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities.
The amendments in this Update are intended to better reflect those strategies in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

In 2021, the Company announced its Tender Offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis not owned by the Company in cash, and its intention to delist the shares of Zardoya Otis from the Spanish stock exchanges subsequent to the Tender Offer (the "Tender Offer").
The price per share of the Tender Offer was €7.07 in cash as of March 31, 2022, after adjustments for dividends paid.
The Tender Offer was approved by the Spanish regulator on February 28, 2022.
As a result of the Tender Offer approval, the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis owned by Euro Syns, S.A. ("Euro Syns") were reclassified to current liabilities as Forward purchase agreement, and the remaining shares not owned by the Company were deemed redeemable at the option of the other shareholders and were reclassified from Noncontrolling interest to Redeemable noncontrolling interest on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The results of the Tender Offer were announced on April 7, 2022, with tenders, including Euro Syns' shares, of 45.49% of the shares outstanding accepted, resulting in the Company owning 95.51% of Zardoya Otis.
The shares tendered to the Company were settled in cash on April 12, 2022 for approximately €1.5 billion from the Company's restricted cash held in escrow.
The acquisition and settlement of the remaining issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis not owned by the Company occurred in the second quarter of 2022 for approximately €150 million.
The automatic delisting of Zardoya Otis shares occurred on May 9, 2022.
Zardoya Otis was then renamed Otis Mobility S.A. ("Otis Mobility").
The Company owned 50.02% of Otis Mobility prior to the Tender Offer and 100% after completion of the Tender Offer.
