NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: General
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 20232024 and for the quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 20222023 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, 20222023 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 20222023 ("20222023 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis", "we", "us","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 2023 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 March 31, 20232024 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 March 31, 20232024 and for the quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022, respectively,2023 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 March 31, 20232024 and for the quarterquarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 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 situation developssituations develop and any broader implications itthey 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.
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 105 days from the invoice date.
The outstanding obligations confirmed by the Company as valid to the financial institutions under our supplier finance programs were $404$510 million and $564$627 million as of March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, 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 finance institutions may terminate the agreements with advanced notice. Otis has pledged no assets in connection with its supplier finance programs.
Revision. As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, following the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, we identified an error in the presentation of the shares of Zardoya Otis, S.A. ("Zardoya Otis", later renamed Otis Mobility S.A.) owned by the third party Euro Syns, S.A ("Euro Syns"). Upon revisiting the accounting as of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that the shares owned by Euro Syns that were recorded in Redeemable non-controlling interest for $409 million should have been classified in Forward purchase agreement (a separate new financial statement line item within current liabilities), resulting in a net decrease in Redeemable noncontrolling interest of $409 million. The effects of these corrections are reflected in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, including in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and will be reflected in future filings, as applicable. There was no impact of this error on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, Statement of Comprehensive Income or the Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

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 1.11.4 million and 2.61.1 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively.
Note 3: Revenue Recognition

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.

Note 11: Income Taxes
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2023,2024 is primarily due to the result of the tax impact of foreign currency on a distributionreduction of previously taxed incomeour contractual indemnity obligation payable to RTX that resulted from the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") and a changethe excess tax benefit associated with stock option exercises in the mix of earnings.quarter.
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 2010.2013.
A subsidiary of Otis engaged in tax-related litigation in Belgium received a favorable appellate court decision in 2018. The Belgian Tax Authoritiestax 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 is evaluatinghas decided not to appeal the decision, which marks the end of this litigation. Otis expects to determine if groundsreceive the assessment for appeal exist.tax and interest in 2024. 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 $20$10 million increase to a $340 million decrease and associated interest could change within the range of a $5$10 million increase to a $145 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 quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, we recorded restructuring costs totaling $5 million and $14 million, respectively, for new and ongoing restructuring actions. We recorded these chargesactions, including UpLift actions beginning in 2023, as follows:

Restructuring costs, unless otherwise indicated, were approximately 30% New Equipment and 70% Service. Although this reflects the segments to which the restructuring costs relate, refer to Note 17 for more information about our measure of segment performance (segment operating profit), which no longer includes restructuring costs, among other items, beginning in the first quarter of 2024.
UpLift Restructuring Actions and Transformation Costs. During the third quarter of 2023, we announced UpLift to transform our operating model. UpLift includes, among other aspects, the standardization of our processes and improvement of our supply chain procurement, as well as restructuring actions.
UpLift restructuring actions of up to $55 million were approved in 2023, which 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 payments to be completed in 2025. Expected total costs and remaining costs to incur for the approved actions identified to-date are approximately $50 million and $24 million, respectively, of which approximately 30% relates to New Equipment and 70% relates to Service.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $12 million of incremental, non-restructuring costs associated with transforming our operating model as a part of UpLift ("UpLift transformation costs"), including consulting and personnel costs, which are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Restructuring Actions. The other restructuring expenses incurred during the quartersquarter ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, were primarily the result of restructuring programs initiated during 20232024 and 2022.2023. We are targeting to complete in 2023by the end of 2024 the majority of remaining other restructuring actions initiated in the quarter ended March 31, 20232024 and the full year 2022,2023, with certain utilization beyond 20232024 due to contractual obligations or legal requirements in the applicable jurisdictions. Expected total costs for the restructuring actions initiated are $71 million, including $26 million to New Equipment and $45 million to Service operating segments, respectively. Remainingremaining costs to incur for the other restructuring actions initiated are expected to be $10$83 million including $3and $23 million, respectively, of which approximately 30% relates to New Equipment and $7 million70% relates to Service operating segments, respectively.Service.

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 $4.0$4.9 billion and $3.9$4.6 billion as of March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively. The four-quarter average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $24$18 million and $20$21 million as of March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively.

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 gain 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 March 31, 20232024 will mature by February 2027.December 2028.
Net Investment Hedges.We have foreign-denominated long-term debtmay use non-derivative instruments (foreign currency denominated borrowings) and derivative instruments (foreign exchange forward contracts) to hedge portions of the Company's investments in foreign subsidiaries and manage foreign exchange forward contractsrisk. For instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of net investment hedges. Changes in foreign operations and that meet the value of theseeffectiveness requirements, the net investment hedges due to foreign currency gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are deferred asrecorded in foreign currency translation adjustments inwithin 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. We evaluate the effectivenessThe remainder of the change in value of such instruments is recorded in earnings, including to the extent foreign currency denominated borrowings are not designated in, or are de-designated from, a net investment hedge relationship.
Our use of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedges each quarter.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 whichthat qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses. As of March 31, 2023, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective. During the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized a loss of $1 million and a gain of $12 million, respectively, associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

DuringThe maturity dates of the current non-derivative and derivative instruments designated in net investment hedges range from 2024 to 2026.
Additionally, we had a foreign exchange forward contract with a notional amount of €95 million that matured during the second quarter ended March 31, 2023, we recognizedof 2023. This qualified as a gain of $1 million associated with this net investment hedge and was deemed to be effective until maturity.

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 and third party models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks.
As of March 31, 2023,2024, 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.

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of March 31, 2023,2024, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $151$139 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 March 31, 2023,2024, 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,For details regarding 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 asrefer to Note 21 of March 31, 2023the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and December 31, 2022, and is principallynotes thereto included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.our 2023 Form 10-K.
Legal Proceedings.
German Tax Litigation
As previously disclosed, weWe have been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $232$233 million as of March 31, 2023)2024) 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 $127$128 million as of March 31, 2023)2024).
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 Raytheon TechnologiesRTX 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. Despite the remand, there is no assurance that the local German Tax Court will rule in the Company's favor, and the decision of the German Tax Office ultimately could be sustained. The local German Tax Court has scheduledheld a hearing foron 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 later in 2024. As a result of the appeal filing, this year.matter remains contested, and the Company cannot assess the ultimate outcome of this case.
Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA")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 $48 million as of March 31, 2023)2024), net of payments and other deductions, included within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.2024. 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, weWe 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 March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022.2023.
The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $21$11 million to $22 million as of March 31, 2024, and approximately $20 million to $43 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Because2023. Since no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amountamounts of $21$11 million and $20 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which isare principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.Sheets. 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 $3 million and $5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which isare principally included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 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. At this time, we do not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, cash flows or results of operations.Sheets.
Other. As previously disclosed, weWe 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, howeveroperations. However, the future outcome of these cases cannot be determined.
As previously disclosed, inIn 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.
Segment Information. Otis discloses segment operating profit as its measure of segment performance, reconciled to total Otis operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes certain expenses and income that are not allocated to segments (as described below in "Corporate and Unallocated").
Effective in the first quarter of 2024, the measure of segment performance used by Otis' Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") changed and, as a result, Otis' disclosed measure of segment performance (segment operating profit) was updated. The change to segment operating profit aligns with the update to how the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for the Company's segments, and therefore is our measure of segment profitability in accordance with GAAP under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
As a result of the change, restructuring costs and other items not allocated to the operating segments are presented as part of Corporate and Unallocated. The financial information presented herein reflects the impact of the measure of segment performance change for all periods presented.

In April 2024, we notified the noncontrolling shareholders of one of our subsidiaries that we are exercising our call option to acquire all of their outstanding shares. The value to purchase these shares is estimated to be approximately $70 million and is reflected in Redeemable noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024. The purchase of these shares is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.
With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Otis Worldwide Corporation for the quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022,2023, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers)("PricewaterhouseCoopers") reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated April 27, 2023,25, 2024, 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)("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 March 31, 20232024, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 20232024 and 20222023, 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, 2022,2023, 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, 2023,2, 2024, 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, 2022,2023, 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.

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 lifecycle.life cycle.
The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 20232024 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 2023Form 10-K.
Recent DevelopmentsUpLift
Announced in July 2023, UpLift is a program with the goal of transforming our operating model. UpLift will include the standardization of our processes and improvement of our supply chain procurement, among other aspects of the program, as well as restructuring actions. We expect UpLift to generate approximately $150 million in annual savings by mid-year 2025, with restructuring and other incremental costs to complete the transformation ("UpLift transformation costs") over that period of approximately the same amount.
UpLift costs incurred are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter Ended March 31, | | |
(dollars in millions) | | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
UpLift restructuring action costs | | $ | 1 | | $ | — | | | | |
UpLift transformation costs | | 12 | | — | | | | |
Total UpLift costs | | $ | 13 | | $ | — | | | | |
UpLift restructuring action costs of $26 million have been incurred since the beginning of the program, primarily during the fourth quarter of 2023. UpLift restructuring action costs are primarily severance costs, and are recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For further details, refer to the discussion on restructuring costs in the "Results of Operations," as well as Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
UpLift transformation costs of $28 million have been incurred since the beginning of the program. These costs are primarily consulting and incremental personnel costs, and are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impact of Global Macroeconomic Developments on Our Company
MacroeconomicGlobal macroeconomic developments have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company's operations and overall financial performance during the quarters ended March 31, 20232024 and 2022.2023. These macroeconomic developments include, among others, inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and most recently tighter credit conditions. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2023,2024, 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.
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 2023Form 10-K for additionalmacroeconomic 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.our business.
Risks associatedAssociated with the ongoing conflict between Russia and UkraineOngoing Conflicts
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cybercyber-security 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.
To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine, which represented less than 1% of our full year 2022revenue and operating profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 revenue2024 and operating profit. As previously disclosed,year ended December 31, 2023.
Additionally, we solddo not have operations or material net sales in Israel or Gaza. Although we transport products through the Red Sea, we currently do not expect the recent hostilities in that region to have a material impact on 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.business.
We cannot predict how the conflictevents described above will evolve. If the conflict continuesevents continue for a significant period of time or expandsexpand to other countries, itand depending on the ultimate outcomes of these conflicts, which remain uncertain, they could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 20222023 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 20222023 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 2023 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.

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.
TotalThere were $1 million of UpLift restructuring action costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We also incurred $12 million of UpLift transformation costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, primarily consulting and incremental personnel costs, which are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other restructuring action costs were $5$19 million for the quarter ended March 31, 20232024 and included $4$9 million of costs related to 2024 actions and $10 million of costs related to 2023 actions and $1 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.

For other restructuring actions, we generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $7$10 million for the 2024 actions and $42 million for the 2023 actions, and $70 million for the 2022 actions, of which approximately $15$11 million was realized for the 20232024 and 20222023 actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.2024.

As of March 31, 2023,2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.1 billion,$900 million, of which approximately 97%95% was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. 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 March 31, 20232024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $4$3 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 March 31, 20232024 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 recent tightening oftighter credit markets.conditions. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.
