BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Summary

We are the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, service and modernization 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, including the machine, ropes or belts, safety systems and the entire car or escalator. Our typical Service customers include building owners, facility managers, housing associations and government agencies that operate buildings where elevators and escalators are installed.

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

The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2026 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 2025 Form 10-K.

UpLift

Announced in July 2023, UpLift is a program to transform our operating model. As of December 31, 2025, total restructuring and other incremental costs to complete the transformation ("UpLift transformation costs") were approximately $300 million, including trailing restructuring costs expected in 2026 of $18 million. The Company generated run-rate savings of approximately $200 million.

For further details, refer to the discussion on restructuring costs in the "Results of Operations," as well as Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

German Tax Litigation

In August 2024, we received a favorable ruling regarding a German tax litigation. Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") with United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), our former parent, subsequently renamed RTX Corporation ("RTX"), and based on the facts and contractual provisions, additional information received from RTX and indemnity payments during 2025, the Company estimated the amount payable to RTX as a result of the outcome of the German tax litigation to be $56 million as of December 31, 2025. Based on indemnity payments made to RTX and adjustments to the indemnity payable in the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company now estimates the remaining amount payable to RTX to be $55 million. The adjustments to the indemnity payable resulted in indemnification expense of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $6 million and $58 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. There was no indemnification expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This indemnification expense is included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 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.

For further details, refer to Note 10 and Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Impact of Global Macroeconomic Conditions on Our Company

Global macroeconomic conditions have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company's operations and overall financial performance during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. These macroeconomic conditions include, among others, geopolitical conflicts, inflationary pressures, high interest rates, tighter credit conditions and changes in global trade policies including higher tariffs in the U.S. and other countries. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2026, as a result of the following, among other things:

• Higher costs of products and services due to tariffs;

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

• Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserve;

• Cancellations or delays of customer orders; and

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

We currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic conditions, including to our overall liquidity position based on our available cash and cash equivalents and our access to credit facilities and the capital markets.

See the "Liquidity and Financial Condition" section in this Form 10-Q for further detail and Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K for macroeconomic risks related to our business.

Risks Associated with Ongoing Conflicts

The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, as well as between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cybersecurity incidents, reputational risk, increased operating costs (including fuel and other input costs), environmental, health and safety risks related to securing and maintaining facilities, additional sanctions and other regulations (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from Russia). We do not have operations in Russia or Iran. Additionally, we do not have operations or material net sales in Israel, Gaza or Lebanon.

Although we have operations in the Middle East and transport products through the Middle East, we currently do not expect the recent conflicts in that region to have a material impact on our business.

To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine. We do not have material revenue or operating profit in Ukraine.

We cannot predict how the events described above will evolve. Depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heigh

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. 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 2025 Form 10-K.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. 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 June 30, 2026, 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 June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

All forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. For those statements, Otis claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation:

• future levels of indebtedness, capital spending and research and development spending;

• future availability of credit and factors that may affect such availability or costs thereof, including credit market conditions and Otis’ capital structure;

• the timing and scope of future repurchases of Common Stock, which may be suspended at any time due to various factors, including market conditions and the level of other investing activities and uses of cash;

• fluctuations in prices and delays and disruptions in delivery of materials and services from suppliers, whether as a result of changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conflicts or otherwise;

• cost reduction or containment actions, restructuring or transformation costs and related savings and other consequences thereof, including with respect to UpLift and our China business and related impacts of reorganization, change management and outsourcing activities, as applicable;

• new business and investment opportunities and the realization of anticipated benefits, including meeting customer expectations and maintaining our competitiveness;

• the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and other contingencies;

• pension plan assumptions and future contributions;

• the impact of the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and labor disputes, labor actions, including strikes or work stoppages, and labor inflation in the markets in which Otis and its businesses operate globally;

• the effect of changes in laws, regulations and enforcement priorities in the U.S. and other countries in which Otis and its businesses operate;

• the ability of Otis to retain and hire key personnel;

• the scope, nature, impact or timing of acquisition and divestiture activity, the integration of acquired businesses into existing businesses and realization of synergies and opportunities for growth and innovation and incurrence of related costs;

• the determination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and other tax authorities that the distribution or certain related transactions in connection with the Separation should be treated as taxable transactions; and

• our obligations and disputes that have or may hereafter arise under the agreements we entered into with RTX and Carrier in connection with the Separation.

These and other factors are more fully discussed in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" under the headings "Note 1: General" and "Note 15: Contingent Liabilities" and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q and in our 2025 Form 10-K under the headings "Item 1.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
