Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Modernization orders rose 11% at constant currency, with modernization backlog up 30% at constant currency, and New Equipment backlog increased 3% at constant currency.

Insights
Service strength and cash flow offset margin pressure, yielding mixed but stable Q1 trends.
Otis delivered Q1 2026 net sales of $3.6 billion, up 6%, powered by Service, where net sales grew 11% and organic sales 5%. New Equipment net sales declined 1% with notable weakness in China and Asia Pacific, partially offset by growth in EMEA.
GAAP profitability improved mainly from lapping prior-year UpLift and separation costs, with GAAP EPS up 43% to $0.87. Underlying trends were softer: adjusted operating profit fell $10 million at actual currency and $38 million at constant currency, and adjusted EPS declined 3% to $0.89 as Service and New Equipment margins compressed.
Cash generation was a bright spot, with operating cash flow of $413 million and adjusted free cash flow of $272 million, supporting about $400 million of share repurchases in the quarter. Management raised the 2026 outlook to net sales of $15.1–$15.3 billion, adjusted operating profit of roughly $2.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.20–$4.24, framing Q1 margin pressure as near-term while pointing to strong modernization and New Equipment backlogs for the rest of 2026.

FARMINGTON, Conn., April 22, 2026 – 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 due to 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.

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. | ||||
5
| 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.
