Pattern Detected

Earnings-related headlines have often produced modest moves, with one notable selloff on prior full-year results despite generally positive operating trends.

Recent Company History

Over the past few quarters, Otis has emphasized steady Service-led growth, rising modernization orders and expanding backlogs. The Q3 2025 results showed higher adjusted EPS and raised guidance, with a positive price reaction. Full-year 2025 results highlighted stable sales and higher adjusted EPS but drew a negative response. Advisory notices around earnings calls have generated only small moves. Today’s Q1 2026 release continues the focus on Service growth, cash flow strength and updated 2026 guidance.

In the last five earnings-tagged events, OTIS averaged a -0.02% move. Today’s -2.3% reaction to Q1 2026 results is a materially larger downside move than typical.

Earnings disclosures progressed from Q3 2025 and full-year 2025 results, which stressed Service growth and rising backlogs, to Q1 2026 results that again highlight Service strength but also margin pressure and a revised 2026 outlook.

Key Terms

organic sales, operating profit margin, adjusted free cash flow, segment operating profit, +2 more
6 terms
organic sales financial
"Net sales up 6% and organic sales up 1%, driven by Service..."
Organic sales are the change in a company’s revenue that comes from its existing business operations, excluding effects of acquisitions, divestitures, and currency swings. Think of it like measuring how much a garden grows from the plants you already tended, rather than adding new pots; investors use organic sales to judge whether demand and core business performance are genuinely improving or if growth is driven by one‑time deals or accounting shifts.
operating profit margin financial
"Operating profit margin | 15.1 % | 12.3 % | 280 bps"
Operating profit margin measures the percentage of a company's revenue that remains after paying the regular costs of running the business (like wages, rent, and materials) but before interest and taxes. It shows how efficiently sales are converted into core profit, so investors can compare operational performance across companies or track trends over time; a higher margin generally means more cushion for downturns and more room to reinvest.
adjusted free cash flow financial
"Operating cash flow of $413 million; adjusted free cash flow of $272 million"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
segment operating profit financial
"Segment operating profit | $ 556 | $ 537 | $ 19"
Segment operating profit is the profit generated by a specific business unit or division from its normal activities, measured before interest, taxes and often before corporate-level allocations or one-time items. It shows how well a particular part of a company turns sales into operating earnings, helping investors compare which divisions are healthy or efficient — like checking how one store in a chain performs independently of the whole company.
backlog financial
"Modernization orders up 11% at constant currency, backlog up 32%..."
A backlog is the amount of work or orders that a company has received but hasn't completed yet. It’s like a restaurant with many dishes to serve; the backlog shows how many orders are still waiting to be finished. It matters because a large backlog can indicate strong demand or potential delays in delivering products or services.
basis points financial
"Operating profit margin ... 280 bps"
Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

Otis delivers net sales growth of 6%, driven by Service with growth in all lines of business, led by repair

  • Net sales up 6% and organic sales up 1%, driven by Service net sales up 11% with organic sales up 5%
  • Repair net sales up 16% with organic repair sales up approximately 10%
  • Modernization orders up 11% at constant currency, backlog up 32%, 30% at constant currency

  • Share repurchases of approximately $400 million

FARMINGTON, Conn., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:OTIS) reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $3.6 billion with organic sales up 1% versus the prior year. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 43% to $0.87 and adjusted EPS decreased 3% to $0.89.

"Otis delivered a solid quarter, with net sales up 6%. All Service lines of business grew, led by repair which grew 16% at actual currency and 10% organically. Orders and backlog strengthened: modernization orders were up 11% and backlog was up 30% at constant currency. New Equipment orders grew 1% and backlog grew 3% at constant currency. Otis delivered operating cash flow of $413 million and adjusted free cash flow of $272 million, up significantly from a year ago," said Chair, CEO & President Judy Marks. "This performance allowed Otis to repurchase approximately $400 million of shares while also announcing an exciting majority investment in WeMaintain, a digitally native and AI enabled elevator service provider." 

Judy Marks continued, "While underlying demand remains solid as reflected in our order activity, we faced near‑term pressures, reflected in our Service margins, from cost headwinds and investments in growth. We are taking decisive actions focused on operational execution, pricing, and cost efficiency to address these pressures, while continuing our disciplined capital allocation to drive long‑term shareholder value. The combination of our increasing backlog, pricing actions, and disciplined execution give us confidence in growing momentum into the second quarter and remainder of the year."

First quarter net sales of $3.6 billion increased 6% versus the prior year, driven primarily by Service sales with growth in all lines of business, partially offset by a decrease in New Equipment sales in China and Asia Pacific.

First quarter GAAP operating profit of $539 million increased $128 million driven primarily by a favorable comparison due to UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit of $550 million decreased $10 million at actual currency and $38 million at constant currency, driven by declines in both segments. GAAP operating profit margin expanded 280 basis points to 15.1% and adjusted operating profit margin of 15.4% declined 130 basis points versus the prior year driven by unfavorable segment performance partially offset by segment mix. The performance was impacted by an unfavorable year‑over‑year comparison due to tariff impacts versus the prior year, continued Service investments that began in the second quarter of last year and accelerated this year to support strong repair and modernization order momentum, and shipment delays in New Equipment and modernization related to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.

GAAP EPS of $0.87 increased 43% compared to the prior year primarily driven by a favorable comparison due to UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted EPS of $0.89 decreased 3% driven by operational performance, higher interest, and higher taxes, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange rates and a lower share count.

  • Organic sales up low to mid-single digits
    • Organic New Equipment sales down low single digits to flat
    • Organic Service sales up mid to high single digits

  • Adjusted EPS of $4.20 to $4.24
  • Adjusted free cash flow of $1.60 to 1.65 billion

1 Note: When we provide outlook for organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures generally is not available without unreasonable effort. See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures (referenced in this press release) to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the attached tables. These tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP measure

Definition

Organic sales

Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and other significant items of a non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature ("other significant items"). Management believes organic sales is a useful measure in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted selling, general and

administrative ("SG&A") expense

Represents SG&A expense (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted operating profit

Represents income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.

Adjusted net interest expense

Represents net interest expense (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the impacts of non-recurring acquisition related financing costs and related net interest expense pending the completion of a transaction and other significant items.

Adjusted noncontrolling interest in

earnings

Represents noncontrolling interest in earnings (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted net income

Represents net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted earnings per share ("EPS")

Represents diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the per share impact of restructuring and other significant items, including related tax effects.

Adjusted effective tax rate

Represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure) adjusted for other significant items and the tax impact of restructuring costs and other significant items.

Constant currency

GAAP financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("AFX"). We use the non-GAAP measure "at constant currency" or "CFX" to show changes in our financial results without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under U.S. GAAP, income statement results are translated in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Otis' ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted free cash flow

Represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude certain items management believes affect the comparability of operating results. Management believes adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity that provides investors additional information regarding the Company's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that organic sales, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and the adjusted effective tax rate are useful measures in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

When we provide our expectations for adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS from continuing operations, operating profit, the effective tax rate, net sales and expected cash flow from operations) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
