NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021 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 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the Company's Form 10-K that have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes. The Company adjusted a missclassification between noncontrolling interest and redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, resulting in an increase to Redeemable noncontrolling interest of $98 million, a decrease to Noncontrolling interest of $68 million and a decrease to Accumulated deficit of $30 million. Refer to Note 2 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the our 2021 Form 10-K.

On April 3, 2020, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company (the "Separation") through a pro-rata distribution of 0.5 shares of Common Stock for every share of United Technologies Corporation, subsequently renamed to Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("UTC" or "RTX", as applicable), common stock held at the close of business on the record date of March 19, 2020. Otis began to trade as a separate public company (New York Stock Exchange: OTIS) on April 3, 2020. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis", "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" refer to Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Zardoya Otis Tender Offer

The Company previously announced a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis, S.A. ("Zardoya Otis") not owned by the Company in cash (the "Tender Offer"), and its intention to delist the shares of Zardoya Otis from the Spanish stock exchanges subsequent to 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 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with the difference between the historical noncontrolling interest carrying value in the balance sheet and the fair value of the Tender Offer recorded to Accumulated deficit. The value of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis not owned by the Company as of March 31, 2022 is €1.66 billion based on the adjusted tender price of €7.07 per share. See Note 19, "Subsequent Events" for additional information regarding the outcome of the Tender Offer.

The Company owned a controlling interest and had operational control of Zardoya Otis as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and therefore its financial results are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned 50.02% of Zardoya Otis.

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.

Table of Contents
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 COVID-19 as of March 31, 2022 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, 2022 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting from our assessments of these matters, future assessment of our current expectations at that time of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, 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 current crisis in Ukraine and Russia, 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, 2022 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 resulting from our assessment of this matter. We continue to assess the impact on our results of operations, financial position and overall performance as the situation develops and any broader implications it may have on the global economy.

Note 2: Earnings per Share

 Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts; shares in millions)20222021
Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation$311 $308 
Impact of redeemable noncontrolling interest  
Net income attributable to common shareholders$311 $308 
Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding424.2 431.6 
Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent)3.5 2.1 
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding427.7 433.7 
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock:
Basic$0.73 $0.71 
Diluted$0.73 $0.71 

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 2.6 million and 5.1 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 3: Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities are recognized when a customer pays consideration, or we have a right to receive an amount of unconditional consideration, in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. We typically receive progress payments from our customers as we perform our work over time.

Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Total contract liabilities 2,982 2,726 
Net contract liabilities$2,444 $2,176 

Contract assets decreased by $12 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $256 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to contract billings in excess of revenue earned. In the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of March 31, 2022, our total RPO was $17.5 billion. Of the total RPO as of March 31, 2022, we expect 90% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Postretirement Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors postretirement benefit plans that provide health benefits to eligible retirees. The postretirement plans are unfunded. The net periodic benefit cost was less than $1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation. The Company adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") effective April 3, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 24 million shares remain available for awards under the Plan.

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. A forfeiture rate assumption is applied on grant date to adjust the expense recognition for awards that are not expected to vest.

As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $94 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Note 9: Stock

Preferred Stock. There are 125 million shares of $0.01 par value authorized Preferred Stock, of which none were issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Common Stock. There are 2 billion shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized. As of March 31, 2022, 435.1 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which includes 12.3 million shares of treasury stock. As of December 31, 2021, 434.7 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which included 9.7 million shares of treasury stock.

Share Repurchase Program. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to purchase up to $1 billion of Common Stock under a share repurchase program, of which $275 million was remaining at such time.

As a result of the increased debt incurred in 2021 to fund the Tender Offer, we temporarily suspended our share repurchases as we focused on deleveraging. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we repaid certain debt and resumed our share repurchases. During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company repurchased 2.6 million and 4.7 million shares, respectively, for approximately $200 million and $300 million, respectively.

On March 9, 2022, 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 $1 billion of Common Stock, of which none had been utilized as of March 31, 2022.

The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be purchased in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented. See Note 8, "Employee Benefit Plans" for additional information.

Note 11: Income Taxes

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the absence of a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is 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, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2010.

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 million increase to a $340 million decrease and associated interest could change within the range of a $5 million increase to a $150 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 Costs

During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded restructuring costs totaling $14 million and $15 million, respectively, for new and ongoing restructuring actions. We recorded these charges as follows:

Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)20222021
Cost of products and services sold$3 $
Selling, general and administrative11 11 
Total $14 $15 

Restructuring Actions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring costs of $13 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2022, consisting of $3 million in Cost of products and services sold and $10 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recorded restructuring costs totaling $1 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2021 in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

We are targeting to complete in 2022 the majority of remaining restructuring actions initiated in 2022 and 2021, with certain utilization beyond 2022.

The following table summarizes expected, incurred and remaining costs for the 2022 and 2021 restructuring actions:

Additionally, there is an $18 million accrual balance as of March 31, 2022 for restructuring actions initiated prior to 2021 remaining to be utilized. Most of the expected charges will require cash payment.

Note 13: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. 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 average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $3.4 billion and $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $14 million and $16 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The amounts of gain or (loss) attributable to foreign exchange contract activity reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were immaterial for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are presented in the table below:

(dollars in millions)March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)$7 $

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing firm commitment 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 $2 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 hedging within the next 12 months. All derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2022 will mature by October 2025.

Net Investment Hedges. We have foreign-denominated long-term debt balances that qualify as net investment hedges. Changes in the value of these net investment hedges due to foreign currency gains or losses are deferred as foreign currency translation adjustments in 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 effectiveness of the net investment hedges each quarter.

We have ¥21.5 billion of Japanese Yen denominated long-term debt, which qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses. As of March 31, 2022, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective. During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized gains of $12 million and $3 million, respectively, associated with this

net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

In September 2020, we issued €420 million of Euro denominated commercial paper. The Euro denominated commercial paper while outstanding qualified as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses. During 2021, we fully repaid the Euro denominated commercial paper, and there is no longer a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recognized gains of $17 million associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

Derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The net effect of derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments primarily within Other income (expense) net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Techniques. Our equity securities include equity 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 equity 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 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, 2022, 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 fair values of the current portion of the Company's financial instruments that are not carried at fair value approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of the current portion. The fair value of receivables, including customer financing notes receivable, net, that were issued long-term are based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates reflecting the attributes of the counterparties, including geographic location. Customer-specific risk, including credit risk, is already considered in the carrying value of those receivables. Our notes, as described in Note 7, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit", are measured at fair value using closing bond prices from active markets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820: Fair Value Measurements, the following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring and non-recurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 15: Guarantees

The Company provides service and warranty on its products beyond normal service and warranty policies. The changes in the carrying amount of service and product guarantees for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of March 31, 2022, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $144 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 the FASB ASC Topic 460: Guarantees, we record these liabilities at fair value. As of March 31, 2022, 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, 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 $12 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is principally included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings.

German Tax Litigation

As previously disclosed, we have been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $237 million as of March 31, 2022) 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 $130 million as of March 31, 2022).

In August 2012, a suit was filed in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In 2015, our former parent, UTC, now 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 Federal Tax Court. On February 8, 2022, the Company received the decision of the Federal Tax Court, in which the Court remanded the case for reconsideration by the local German Tax Court. The local Tax Court has not yet set a hearing date. Despite the remand, there is no assurance that the local Tax Court will rule in the Company's favor, and the decision of the German Tax Office ultimately could be sustained.

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("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 $49 million as of March 31, 2022), net of payments and other deductions, included within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022. In the event that 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, we 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $22 million to $45 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Because no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amount of $22 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31,
21

Table of Contents
2021. 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 $5 million, which is principally included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 against Otis, Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("RTX"), Carrier Global Corporation ("Carrier"), which was also separated from UTC in the Separation, each of their directors, and various incentive and deferred compensation plans. 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. Otis believes that the claims against the Company are without merit. At this time, Otis is unable to predict the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could result from this action.

Other. As previously disclosed, we 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 have not been material to the business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations, however the future outcome of these cases cannot be determined.

As previously disclosed, in 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.

Note 18: Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard but do not expect it to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard, however we do not expect it to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other new accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after March 31, 2022 did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Note 19: Subsequent Events

As described in Note 1, "General", the Company announced the Tender Offer to acquire all of the 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 are expected to occur in the second quarter of 2022.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Otis Worldwide Corporation for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (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, 2022, 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 audit tests 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.

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, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2021, 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 4, 2022, 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, 2021, 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.

The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2022 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 Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

Ukraine and Russia

Based on the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the related ongoing supply chain disruptions, we have reassessed our operations in Russia, which represented approximately 2% of our 2021 revenue and profit, comprising mostly of New Equipment. The Company is not taking new elevator or escalator orders in Russia and will make no new investments in the country for the time being. We will continue to fulfill our existing agreements and provide essential equipment and services in Russia, when possible, while remaining in compliance with applicable laws, including applicable sanctions and export controls.

The results of our operations, financial position and overall financial performance were not materially impacted by the events unfolding in Ukraine for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We continue to assess the impact on our results of operations, financial position and overall performance as the situation develops and any broader implications it may have on the global economy.

Zardoya Otis Tender Offer

As previously disclosed, the Company announced the Tender Offer to acquire all of the 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 are expected to occur in the second quarter of 2022.

See Note 1, "General", Note 7, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" and Note 19, "Subsequent Events" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details regarding this transaction and financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Tender Offer.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Company

The results of our operations and overall financial performance were impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. COVID-19 has had and could continue to have an impact on our business in the future, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2022, as a result of the following, among other things:

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

Cancellations or delays of customer orders

Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserves

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 the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 Form 10-K for additional risks related to COVID-19.

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 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.

Foreign currency translation(3.0)%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net0.1 %
Total % change0.2 %

The Organic volume increase of 3.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was driven by an increase in organic sales of 5.8% in Service, partially offset by a decrease of (0.5)% in New Equipment organic sales.

See "Segment Review" section for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Percentage of Net sales13.4 %14.1 %

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $23 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, as cost containment actions, impact from foreign exchange and lower credit loss reserves were partially offset by labor inflation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased 70 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, as Net sales were relatively flat while expenses decreased.

Restructuring Costs
 Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)20222021
Restructuring costs$14$15

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.

Total restructuring costs were $14 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and included $13 million of costs related to 2022 actions, and $1 million of costs related to 2021 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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we had cash outflows of approximately $17 million related to the restructuring actions and expect to make cash payments of $71 million to complete the actions announced, which will be comprised of the utilization of existing restructuring accruals and $36 million of additional restructuring expenses to be recognized.

Table of Contents
We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $30 million for the 2022 actions and $38 million for the 2021 actions, of which approximately $9 million was realized for the 2022 and 2021 actions during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net
 Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)20222021
Other income (expense), net$16$7

The change in Other income (expense), net of $9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency mark-to-market adjustments.

Interest Expense (Income), Net
 Quarter Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)20222021
Interest expense (income), net$37$32

The increase in Interest expense (income), net of $5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was driven by interest expense related to the Tender Offer for Zardoya Otis.

The average interest rate on our long-term debt for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 2.0% and 2.4%, respectively.

For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes
 Quarter Ended March 31,
 20222021
Effective tax rate27.8 %25.9 %

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to the absence of a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter to quarter from potential discrete items.

For additional discussion of income taxes and the effective income tax rate, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation$311$308

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings and net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation were relatively flat for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

Ownership interest in non-wholly owned subsidiaries has remained generally consistent year-over-year.

Service

The Service segment performs maintenance and repair services for both our products, and those of other manufacturers, and provides 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 that address equipment and component wear and tear, and breakdowns.

1    Our total debt to total capitalization ratio and net debt to net capitalization ratio increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 due to the $1.5 billion reduction in equity upon the Tender Offer being approved by the Spanish regulator, and the resulting reclassification of our noncontrolling interest in Zardoya Otis to redeemable noncontrolling interest based on the value of the Tender Offer. For more information on the impact of the Zardoya Otis redeemable noncontrolling interest, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.2 billion, of which approximately 98% 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, including cash held in escrow to fund the Tender Offer. For information on the results of the Tender Offer, see Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 2022 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 the impact of COVID-19. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

There were no long-term debt issuances for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company redeemed the $500 million floating notes originally due in 2023 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company does not intend to reinvest certain undistributed earnings of our international subsidiaries that have been previously taxed in the U.S. For the remainder of the Company’s undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, we will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings.

We expect to fund our ongoing operating, investing and financing requirements mainly through cash flows from operations, available liquidity through cash on hand and available bank lines of credit and access to capital markets.

As a result of the increased debt incurred in 2021 to fund the Tender Offer, we temporarily suspended share repurchases as we focused on deleveraging. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we repaid certain debt and resumed our share repurchases. On March 9, 2022, 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 $1 billion of Common Stock, of which none had been utilized as of March 31, 2022. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cash Flow - Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities$504$585

Cash generated from operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $81 million lower than the same period in 2021, primarily due to decreased cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities activity of $150 million, as described below. These were partially offset by $41 million of higher non-cash adjustments from Net income and $26 million of higher Other operating activities, net, primarily due to long-term accruals and other activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 Changes in Working Capital

Cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities operating activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $55 million. These cash inflows were primarily driven by:

Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net change of $278 million, driven by the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts; partially offset by

Accrued liabilities, which decreased $178 million, primarily due to the timing of payments of employee-related benefits, interest and income taxes; and

Accounts receivable, net, which increased $51 million, primarily due to the timing of billings.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 Changes in Working Capital

Cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities operating activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were $205 million, including the following main drivers:

Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net change of $328 million, driven by the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts;

Other current assets, which decreased $61 million, due to prepaid income tax utilization and refunds received; and

Accounts payable, which increased $29 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers; partially offset by

Table of Contents

Accrued liabilities, which decreased $160 million, primarily due to the timing of payments of employee-related benefits, interest and income taxes, including the payment of foreign tax obligations pursuant to the TMA;

Inventories, net, which increased $39 million, due to the impact of higher production inventory related to higher volume and timing of deliveries to construction sites; and

Accounts receivable, net, which increased $14 million.

Cash Flow - Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities$(17)$(50)$33

Cash flows used in investing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased $33 million, including the following drivers:

$20 million higher net cash receipts from the settlement of derivative instruments, with net cash receipts of $28 million and $8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively;

$16 million lower investments in businesses and intangible assets in the quarter ended March 31, 2022; and

$14 million lower capital expenditures and $11 million lower investments in marketable securities in the quarter ended March 31, 2022; partially offset by

$28 million lower Other investing activities, net primarily due to property damage insurance proceeds received and proceeds from the sales of fixed assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use derivative instruments, including forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency exposures.

Cash Flow - Financing Activities

Financing activities primarily include increases or decreases in short-term borrowings, issuance or repayment of long-term debt, dividends paid to common shareholders, repurchases of Common Stock and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $249 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher net repayments on borrowings of $474 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $145 million during the same period in 2021, which were made with cash flow from operations and existing cash balances. Net repayments on borrowings are comprised of the following activity:

Repayments of long-term debt of $500 million, partially offset by net short-term borrowings of $26 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022; and

Net repayments of short-term borrowings of $342 million, partially offset by net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $197 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

These higher net repayments on borrowings were partially offset by lower repurchases of Common Stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

For additional discussion of borrowings activity, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guaranteed Securities: Summarized Financial Information

The following information is provided in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the 2023 Euro Notes, the 2026 Euro Notes and the 2031 Euro Notes (together the "Euro Notes"), in each case issued by Highland Holdings S.à r.l. (“Highland”), a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"). The Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Otis Worldwide Corporation ("OWC") on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis. Refer to "Note 10: Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 in our 2021 Form 10-K, for additional information.

Highland is a wholly-owned, indirect consolidated subsidiary of OWC. OWC is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. As a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and with its registered office in Luxembourg, Highland is subject to Luxembourg insolvency and bankruptcy laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against it. Luxembourg bankruptcy law is significantly different from, and may be less favorable to creditors than, the bankruptcy law in effect in the United States and may make it more difficult for creditors to recover the amount they could expect to recover in liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy rules.

The Euro Notes are not guaranteed by any of OWC's or Highland's subsidiaries (all OWC subsidiaries other than Highland are referred to herein as "non-guarantor subsidiaries"). Holders of the Euro Notes will have a direct claim only against Highland, as issuer, and OWC, as guarantor.

The following tables set forth the summarized financial information as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 of each of OWC and Highland on a standalone basis, which does not include the consolidated impact of the assets, liabilities, and financial results of their subsidiaries except as noted on the tables below, nor does it include any impact of intercompany eliminations as there were no intercompany transactions between OWC and Highland. This summarized financial information is not intended to present the financial position or results of operations of OWC or Highland in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Item 5 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2021 Form 10-K, discloses our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, outside the ordinary course of business except for those disclosed in the "Note 7, Borrowings and Lines of Credit" within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. 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 2021 Form 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

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 Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results

This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” under the securities laws. From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements may also be included in other information released to the public. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide management’s current expectations or plans for Otis’ future operating and financial performance, based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectations,” “plans,” “strategy,” “prospects,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “anticipate,” “will,” “should,” “see,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “medium-term,” “near-term,” “confident,” “goals” and other words of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance, the Tender Offer and the Separation.

the timing and scope of future repurchases of Otis’ common stock ("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 disruption in delivery of materials and services from suppliers, whether as a result of COVID-19, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine or otherwise;
cost reduction or containment actions, restructuring costs and related savings and other consequences thereof;
new business and investment opportunities;
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;
the effect of changes in tax, environmental, regulatory (including among other things import/export) and other laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries in which Otis and its businesses operate, including as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine;
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 ability to achieve the expected benefits of the Tender Offer and the timing thereof;
the ability to achieve the expected benefits of the Separation;
the determination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities that the distribution or certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions; and

(1)     Average price paid per share includes costs associated with the repurchases.

On April 27, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $1 billion of Common Stock. As a result of the increased debt incurred in 2021 to fund the Tender Offer, we temporarily suspended our share repurchases as we focused on deleveraging. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we repaid certain debt and resumed our share repurchases.

On March 9, 2022, 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 $1 billion of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this current program was $1 billion. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act.
